WEBVTT - The U.S. Report | 23 January 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:06.440 This is the US Report with James Moroar. 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:10.799 Good evening and welcome to the program, and buckle up 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.720 for another year of star spangled politics out of the 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:18.360 US of a coming up tonight, Minnesota, Mayhem. The tolerant 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.280 left is now guess what invading church services? And yes 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.360 they think this makes them the good guys. Don Hondaker 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.080 joins me to explain what's going on. Plus has Trump 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.960 chickened out on Iran? Or is there war going on 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:36.320 behind the scenes? And guess who's refusing to testify new 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:40.960 Congress about Jeffrey Epstein. Is this the real reason that 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.800 that story has suddenly dropped off the front pages. We'll 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.200 find out. But first, the political year of the US 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.120 has already geared up, and hey, did it ever slow down? 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.600 Where The focus this week has been the president's trip 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.560 into the viper's pit known as the World Economic Forum 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.200 in DeVos, Switzerland, where he went to deliver a strong 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.560 message about the need for the West. Yes, that's right, 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.959 the Western world, which, weirdly enough, so many of the 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:13.400 West so leaders love to run down to rediscover its spirit. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.720 We have to become stronger, more successful, and more prosperous 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.600 than ever We have to defend that culture and rediscover 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.399 the spirit that lifted the West from the depths of 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.160 the dark Ages to the pinnacle of human achievement. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.039 Damn straight. But of course no one there wanted to 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.760 talk about high minded stuff like that. No other attendees, 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.760 folks like Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom, wanted to get 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:40.639 down in the gutter. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.280 I can't take this complicity people rolling over. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.880 I should have brought up a bunch of kneepads for 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:48.840 all the world leaders. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.520 They say, diplomacy with Donald Trump, He's a t rex. 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.920 You mate with him or he devours you. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.120 Knee pads mating with a t rex. I feel like 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.360 that fantasy says more about Newsome than it does about Trump. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.160 But hey, that's another story. Of course, everyone at Davos 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.480 was freaked out about Trump's saber rattling over Greenland, though 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.960 now Trump is touting a deal that will supposedly give 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.920 the US access to small pockets of the strategically vital 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.040 island colony. And it is amazing to me that after 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:23.480 more than a decade watching Trump, people just don't get 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.800 that this is his style, this is his modus operandi, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.120 as it were, because I mean, it's all in his book, 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.760 but most of the media is too lazy to read it. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.839 That his mo is to make maximalist claims I want 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.720 all of Greenisland and then come up with a solution 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.560 that's far short of that. His critics also miss key facts, 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.280 like the fact that even as the press spins up 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.080 the idea that Trump is going to war with Denmark, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.040 the US is also selling the Danes massive amounts of 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.960 defense technology. Again, so much of the bluster is just 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.720 for show, and yet people falling for it. But for me, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.840 the biggie out of Davos is this, Trump went to 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.280 Davos with a very important message that first rab hinted at. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.640 You see, Trump told everybody in attendance what they needed 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.600 to hear. And yes, I know, sure Trump may sometimes 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.560 act like a petulant toddler, and the press loves to 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.760 say this over and over again, but it's far worse. 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.640 And this is what Trump called them out on is 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.120 that for years, decades even Europe has acted not like 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.640 a toddler, but like an occasionally employed forty two year 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.280 old loser who still lives at home with his parents, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.600 demanding endless support and inviting his dirtbag mates around to 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.280 trash the house and steal things. Trump gives his tough 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.720 love message not because he hates Europe, but because he 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.400 loves it, loves its heritage, loves what it has given 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.160 to the West, and he knows that once we lose 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:06.520 that it is gone forever. Frankly, all these issues with 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.400 Greenland and NATO and oppressed that steadfast and refuses to 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.280 accept strategic realities is really looking like small beer, however, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.960 compared to the challenge that Trump is facing over the 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.719 next ten or eleven months. Now. Trump has just marked 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.000 the one year anniversary with second inauguration, but now it 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.800 is an absolute race to the midterm elections, which could 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.320 see not only every achievement of his presidency either noveled 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.599 or undone, as well as also Republicans and Trump's supporters, 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.520 or as the left likes to call them, trump enablers 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.479 in the gun. I just want to give you three 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:45.359 little examples of this phenomenon that involved Democrats, ironically enough, 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.840 not observing the very principal's democracy that they claim to support, 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.560 as well as acting like the very vengeful totalitarians they 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.560 claimed Trump has been all along. You see, and we 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.080 see it in Australia all the time too. When the 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.839 Democrats come into power, they act like they are all moderate, 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.800 while at the same time they conceal behind them a 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.440 revolutionary agenda. Now we are going to speak a bit 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.960 more about her later in the program, but there is 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.320 a wonderful example of this on foot in the moment 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:22.040 with new Virginia governor Abigail Spamburger, an ex CIA agent. 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.640 If that's not enough to get your intended going, who 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.400 ran as a moderate but now is anything but you 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.080 recall Spamburger from this cold des ice moment in her 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.320 gubernatorial debate when she was called out for supporting a 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:38.000 fellow Democrat who fantasized about the murder of a Republican 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.640 politician's children. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.880 Why she won't say it is not okay and that 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.279 he must leave the race because Jay Jones advocated the murder, Abigail, 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:54.160 the murder of a man, a former speaker, as well 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.200 as his children who were two years, two and five 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.760 years old. You have little girls. What would it take 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:01.960 him pulling the trigger? 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.480 Is that? What would do it? 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.760 And then you would say he needs to get out 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:06.279 of the race. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:12.159 Abigail Well Spamberger won trying to paint herself as a moderate. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.040 But what's the first thing that happened when she took office. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.680 Her party introduced a bill this week to eliminate mandatory 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:25.120 minimum sentences for rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer, 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:32.320 possession and distribution of child pornography, and all repeat violent felonies. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.920 There's a lot more to it her agenda too, for 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.000 moves to stop checks on migrant status, to enshrining a 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.800 hard left, anti American, woke curriculum in the schools nice 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.960 and federally too. It's the same story by Democrat Chuck 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.760 Schumer is already planning to restore all the money, all 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.240 the billions wasted and went out the door on god 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.520 knows what that were cut by Doze if the Democrats 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:58.760 win the midterms. 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.919 You look at the budget actually we're working on right now, 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.680 and we'll have the Tea HUD budget, you know, transportation 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.640 and HUD budget. We restore most of the cuts and 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.760 even go higher than previous years on many of the 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.360 programs that Dog slashed. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.239 But that's nothing compared to what the left in America 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.920 is saying in their guarded moments when they think, you know, 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.840 we're just having a real talk between us and nobody 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.920 else is listening. Here's Democrat activist Jennifer Welch. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:35.080 Blue Tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.480 Musk big balls and a bunch of other peoples in 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.360 front and say what crimes did you commit? And it's 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.160 going to get really serious, and the same with Trump 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.320 because I believe, and this is just my opinion, that 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.000 Trump and all of the bottom feeding moron surrounding him, 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.040 and Elon Musk and all the bottom feeding clinger honers 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.440 that surround him, I think they commit crimes every day. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.600 And I think to reconcile all of this is going 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:08.440 to take hardcore, not integrity Democrats through Democrats over our country. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.240 We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We're going 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.320 to uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.360 We will be relentless about it. And that's the mindset 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:18.920 they've got to have. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.000 Yeah, remember all those times the left claimed Trump was 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.200 all about seeking retribution and vengeance on his enemies. Well, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.880 guess what, you ain't seen nothing yet, but you do 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.839 see the problem Trump has Over the next ten or 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.679 so months, he has to not only bed down as 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.679 much of his agenda as possible, but he has to 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.480 do it while increasing Republican majorities in Congress, historically almost 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.720 unheard of at a midterm election. Good luck, mister President. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.439 It's only the future of the country and the free 0:08:52.440 --> 0:09:00.280 world at stake. But first, let's jump straight into Donald 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.079 Trump's visit to Davos for the World Economic Forum. Joining 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.080 me to discuss this and a whole lot more is 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.840 Trump's former White House chief of staff and of course, 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.960 senior advisor of Bondai Partners, Mick Mulvadey. Mick, I want 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.600 to get into the politics of this trip to Davos, 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.000 but you know, I also want to hear about you 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.080 and your experience with Trump on some of these trips. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.280 You were his chief of staff in his first term. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.360 He went on a lot of these things. We saw 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.000 all that drama with Air Force one turning around. What 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.080 is the energy like on these trips. I keep hearing 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.839 that Donald Trump never sleeps. He bothers people all night 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.079 long when they're trying to sleep on the plane. Is 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:35.839 all that true? 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.280 Oh, James, There's so much fake news about Donald Trump 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.600 it's hard to nowhere to start. But this is not 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.240 one of them. The man doesn't sleep. He's slept about 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.120 four hours a night when I was chief of staff, 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.520 and he can perceive sleep as a sign of weakness 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.440 amongst his staff. So yes, we used to sleep in 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.880 shifts on these overseas trips, so that at least somebody 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.079 was awake all of the time and he wouldn't come 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.320 around looking for some body to wake up. But yes, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.240 that's exactly what I was thinking. It's funny you say it. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.080 When I saw that the Air Force one had to 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.880 turn around in the middle of the Atlantic and then 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.120 had to change planes to the smaller plane, that that 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.520 is really brutal on the staff because they are ordinary 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.240 human beings that need to sleep, and Donald Trump does it. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.359 So No, it's a it's a it's a wonderfully underreported 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.000 part of the Trump presidency, his sleep habits when he's 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:23.800 traveling overseas. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.199 No, it's absolutely fascinating that just the sort of the 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.440 number of hours he's awake in a row. But going 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.439 getting down to the getting down to the business of 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.400 the summit here, you know, the big question, of course, 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.000 was about Greenland and what's going to happen with this. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:41.160 We spoke last year about the real strategic importance of Greenland. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.360 Trump has announced that he has reached some sort of 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.679 framework for a future deal with NATO. Have a look 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.760 at this. It's a deal, does It's all people have 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:49.280 jumped at. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:55.000 Really fantastic for the USA gets everything we wanted told me, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.319 but including especially real national security and international serce. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.160 Can you get Well, the deal is going to be 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:03.839 put out pretty soon. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.080 We're going to say it's right. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.880 Now, a little bit of a drug us, but pretty 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.920 far along. It gets us everything we needed to get. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.280 But even as we are speaking here, some of the 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:18.640 players involved on the European side are still worried about sovereignty. Nick, 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.720 is this the best outcome out of this deal? And 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.640 is this really just that art of the deal thing 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.600 where Trump takes a maximalist position, will take all of Greenland, 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:28.880 and then comes to something much more reasonable. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.040 Yeah, I don't know if it's the best possible deal, 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.800 but it's certainly better than a military invasion of Greenland 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:39.240 that would, you know, end the NATO alliance. I'm not sure, 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.400 James yet what we got in the deal. Trump is 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.400 famous for this, announcing a sort of the framework of 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.880 a deal, you know, a mo ou on a deal 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.559 sort of the outlines of a deal without having many details. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.040 That's about where we are right now. It's not readily 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.200 apparent to me what the Americans got that they didn't 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:01.520 have already. Again, we had fairly broad rights militarily to 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.120 operate on Greenland under previous treaties that we had talked 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.160 to the Danes about helping them and US sort of 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.960 jointly develop their rare earth minerals and so forth, all 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.920 of which we get under this deal that Trump has 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.920 sort of announced, as is so often the case, which 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.040 Trump the devil will be in the details. But yeah, look, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.959 I think at the end of the day, which you've 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:25.239 got is a situation where America can bolster the defenses 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.480 of Greenland, bolster the defenses of the Arctic, help develop 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.000 the critical minerals on the island, and didn't blow up 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.480 the NATO alliance too badly on the road to doing that. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.520 So I guess that has to be seen as a success. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.480 I'm just not sure how different it was in the 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.319 status quo ante. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.120 I think you're probably right there, Mickhay. I want to 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.720 move on to another stroach I think is not gotten 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.400 anywhere near enough attention. This is the new governor of Virginia. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.320 We remember that controls race last year, Abigail Spanberger. She 0:12:54.760 --> 0:13:01.400 is pushing through whole sorts of legislation about you know, well, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.640 let's have a look at one piece less that she 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.000 just signed, and this. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.760 Executive order rescinds Executive Order number forty seven. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.360 State and local law enforcement should not be priored to. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:20.000 Divert their limited resources to enforce federal civil immigration laws. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.960 It is a responsibility of federal law enforcement. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.000 Mick. She's also, along with not cooperating with federal law 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.360 enforcement immigration, raising taxes, pushing a whole swag of other 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.640 hard left agenda items. This really shows the consequences of 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.520 elections and what's at stake in the midterms here, doesn't it? 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.800 Or not just that, James, keep in mind animal Spanberger. 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.200 Spanburger who served in Congress, and I'm familiar with her 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.199 from her time there, ran as for governor as a moderate, 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.880 a down the center Democrat, and actually railed against some 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.520 of the more far left leaning policies of her party. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.240 But here she is in her first week, maybe her 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.439 first day or two on the job, and is putting 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.440 in some fairly progressive left wing sort of policies. I 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.960 think that is a wake up call for both parties 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.320 going into the midterms and to the voters that you know, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.679 just because someone runs as something doesn't mean they're going 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.520 to vote or govern as another. And I think that 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.800 the Spamberger situation we watch very very closely as we 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.440 go to the midterms, because there will be a lot 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:24.480 of Democrats in swing districts, especially running under her playbook, 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.480 and of course now they're going to have the questions, well, 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.560 when if you do win, will you govern as the 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.440 type of person you ran as, or will you govern 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.640 as the type of person that animal Spamberger is running 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:33.800 is governing as well? 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.080 Nick, One of the things that Spamberger ran as was 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.280 kind of an anti zoron Momdanni character. But you know, 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.200 in office now she's proven to be this other thing. 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.520 As you say, does this show that the center of 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.440 gravity of the party is now shifting further and further left? 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:50.040 Oh? 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.640 Sure, you, but you and I have talked about that 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.680 for weeks now, ever since the Mandanni rise, even going 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.280 back forth, you know, to the last election cycle, when 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.320 the influence of the progressive left, Ernie Sanders, the AOC 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:07.000 wing of the party Spamberger ran explicitly against that. She 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.760 was the one who said, look, I don't want my 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.080 party going this far left. I want to be more 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.320 of a centrist. She wants to run for president than 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.520 she doesn't think she can do so as a progressive. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.440 But yes, all of the energy in that party is 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.320 on the far left. So even those folks who are 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.960 running as centrists when they govern are being forced to 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.600 govern from the left. So it's going to be fascinating 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.600 to watch. The Democrat Party hasn't figured out what they 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.480 want to be yet going into the midterms. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:31.040 The Republicans. 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.760 Don't get me wrong, James. They've got their own issues 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.080 and we do, but one of them is not the 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.400 sort of the unified force the Democrats, because they're just 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:39.680 as screwed up as the Republicans are. 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.480 Right now, Well, you know, Mick, this moving to the 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.480 left business. So we saw another example of this, and 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.840 I'm glad you mentioned this shift because it was really 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.920 disturbing that Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, he has 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.000 released memoirs in which he says that when and this 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.680 guy is a very centrist, very moderate, very normal Democrat 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.240 who also happens to be Jewish. He has released memoirs 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.200 and say that when he was being vetted for Kamala 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.680 Harris's potential vice president in twenty twenty four, they asked 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.920 him was he or had he ever been a double 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:15.120 agent of Israel. This seems to be well, it's an 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.200 ancient canard. But also this really shows where these guys are, 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:19.600 doesn't it? 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.040 It does, and I think it was an eye opening 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.320 I give him credit for exposing it. Look, both parties 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.440 are dealing with the anti Semitism in ways I never 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.600 expected they would have to deal with in the twenty 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.160 first century. Republicans have got an issue with that. The 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.880 Democrats certainly do at the very highest level. Let's understand 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.560 what this was. This was a vetting to be or 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.960 not to be the Democrat nominee for vice president on 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.320 the ticket with Kamala Harris. It doesn't get any higher 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.080 than that in a party than being vetted for vice president. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.560 And if that's one or some of the questions that 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.400 her team or she was asking or curious about, it 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:55.240 shows you just how deep this anti Semitism runs in 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.960 the Democrat Party. They are going to have to do 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.760 something about it. They're going to have to address it. 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.760 By the way, Joshapiro will be on the front line 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.080 of that, because my expectation is that he will run 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.560 for presidents in twenty twenty eight as well. So be 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.480 curious to see how a Jewish Democrat does in a 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.760 Democrat primary in this current environment. 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.879 Mick Maulvaney is a very sad state of affairs that 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.720 are on the left. Thank you so much. As always, 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.800 Thanks James. Let's move on now to the great or 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.120 now not so great state of Minnesota, with the head 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.800 of the Center for the American Experiment and author of 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:29.159 the brilliant power Line blog, John Heineaker. John, Welcome to 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:33.919 the program. In nineteen seventy three, Time magazine ran a 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.680 cover story entitled the Good Life in Minnesota A little 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.200 bit of trivia, by the way, that was written by 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.760 my father. And today Minnesota looks like this. 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:49.320 Have a look Renee god Renee god Renee God. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:56.600 All the people in this church. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.800 They're living real comfortable lives while children are dragged in 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:01.159 a concentration camps. 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.240 So if we disturbed there Sunday, oh no, we needn't. 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.480 Nobody should have comfort right now, while our immigrant communities 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.680 are afraid to leave their houses. Yes, that's right, John, 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.680 the tolerant left is now invading church services, and apparently 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.560 XCNN host Don Lemon was involved. Tell us about this, 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.320 what's going on, and surely there have got to be 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:22.920 some legal repercussions for this. 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.880 Well, this is a terrible story, James. This happened Sunday 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.480 morning at the City's Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. This 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.160 is a Baptist church and it was invaded by leftists. 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:40.159 The service was disrupted, the ministers were harassed, and federal 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:44.320 officials reacted with outrage. Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, said 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.800 that there would be criminal charges brought and that in 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.520 fact has happened. I believe three of the leaders of 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.920 this church invasion have now been placed under arrest by 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.639 the FBI. And the other interesting aspect of this story 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.600 is that Don Lemmon, the former and now disgraced talking 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:08.360 head at CNN, was part of this church invasion, and 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.000 he purported to be covering it. He's not at CNN anymore, 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.200 but you know, on whatever platform he's using. But as 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:16.960 far as you could tell, he was part of the 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.560 group invading the church. He was harassing ministers, and he 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.399 seemed to be one of the organizers in fact of 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.240 that church invasion, and so he is one of the 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.600 people that the Department of Justice wanted to charge under 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.879 the Face Act, which which deals with harassment, among other things, 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:42.919 with interference with the church services. And the kind of 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.760 remarkable story here just today out of Minnesotia is that 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:51.359 a federal magistrate signed off on the arrest warrants for 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:56.760 the other individuals who led this church invasion, but declined 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.359 to sign off on an arrest warrant for Don Lemon, 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:05.760 apparently as best anybody can figure out, because he's supposed 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:06.719 to be a journalist. 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.920 That's really fascinating. And of course all of this stems 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.960 from the raids that have been going on in Minnesota 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:17.119 connected to that Somali daycare welfare scam that we've been 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.400 talking about last year. Have there been any further developments 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.000 on that. What's happening with federal efforts to crack down 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:28.240 on these sorts of ethnically linked daycare and welfare frauds 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.520 that allegedly have been going on all over the place. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.879 Well, you know, James, that's really a separate story, and 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.680 it's not a separate track. What's happening there is that 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:41.080 the US Attorney's office here in Minneapolis has estimated that 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:47.119 something like nine billion dollars or more in additional fraud 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:51.479 above and beyond what's already been prosecuted, has occurred in 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:56.640 recent years in the medicaid programs being administered here in Minnesota. 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.720 And so we're now waiting for that shoe to drop, 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.720 expecting that anytime now there's going to be a number 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:07.440 of additional indictments coming down, no doubt, followed by guilty 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.400 pleas and ultimately probably some jury trials. So the fraud 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.800 story continues. In the bottom line, James, is that these 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:21.359 frauds have been centered overwhelmingly in the Somali community, and 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:26.760 they have infected basically every welfare program in the state 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:27.560 of Minnesota. 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.960 Unbelievable. Hey, JOHNA, why do we want something else? And again, 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.160 pick your brilliant legal brain about another drama playing out. 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.720 And I thought this was fascinating here. Bill and Hillary Clinton, 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:42.080 the former presidents and first Lady, are now potentially in 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:46.480 some jeopardy of being found in contempt of Congress after 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.919 they refuse to testify. But what they knew about the 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:53.560 illicit activities of Jeffrey Epstein and the goings on on 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:58.240 Epstein Island, among other things. This isn't really great look 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.879 for the Clintons. Apparently Jeffrey's old girlfriend, JILLIANE. Maxwell is 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:05.440 going to testify, so why not the Clintons. 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:11.560 Well, it's interesting, James. The only politician who actually is 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.360 known to have been close to Jeffrey Epstein was Bill Clinton. 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.879 Epstein had this bizarre painting of Bill Clinton in a 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:23.359 blue dress hanging in his house in New York, or 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.960 maybe it was the island, I forget, but they were 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.200 actually relatively close, and Clinton is the only politician who 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.439 had that kind of relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. So this 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:36.200 whole matter is totally political. The Democrats have been trying 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:40.080 to smear Trump with Epstein, even though Epstein hated Trump. 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:44.200 And now I think the Republicans are kind of retaliating 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.960 by putting Bill and Hillary Clinton under oath for depositions. 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:51.600 And they refused to appear last week for those depositions, 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:55.879 and they're under subpoena, and so the House Oversight Committee 0:22:56.000 --> 0:23:01.080 voted to hold Bill Clinton in contempt, also to hold 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:05.480 Hillary Clinton in contempt. Now that potentially could turn into 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:09.520 a criminal charge, but that's a ways off. The entire 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.840 House of Representatives would have to go along and vote 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.439 Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress. And if they did that, 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.199 it would be up to the Department of Justice to 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:23.919 decide whether to actually bring criminal charges that may or 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:24.960 may not ever happen. 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.440 But you know, John, it is interesting to me because 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.560 I remember late last year it was all in the media, Oh, 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:34.040 Trump Epstein, Trump Epstein, Trump Epstein. I kind of wonder 0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.320 if maybe this is why we're not hearing so much 0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.000 about Trump Epstein anymore. 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.000 Well, you know, the whole Epstein's story has been blown 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.920 massively out of proportion. The idea that there was this 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:50.160 international ring of pedophiles operating at the highest levels of politics. 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.000 It's just not true. There was never any evidence to 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.400 support that. And the whole Epstein thing now has turned 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:59.840 into a political football, with the Democrats demanding that all 0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:04.520 these files be produced and declassified and so on, and 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:08.000 the administration kind of reluctantly saying, Okay, if you really 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.399 want them, here they are. And so they're in the 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:14.240 process of doing that, but they are not producing anything 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.359 like the kind of information that some people have alleged. 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:19.800 And I come back to where we started out, which 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:23.240 is the fact that the only major politician with whom 0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:27.240 Jeffrey Epstein really had a significant relationship appears to have 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:28.200 been Bill Clinton. 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.000 Well there you go, hey, John Finley. Before I let 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.560 you go, I wanted to get your thoughts on something 0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:37.639 that I was reminded of by your excellent power Line blog. 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:43.000 This month marks the ninth anniversary of that fantastic moment 0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.480 scene and heard around the world. But for everybody who 0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:47.800 doesn't remember this, have a listen. 0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:49.119 Donald J. 0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:57.160 Trump is now President of the United States. President step 0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:57.920 solution for the. 0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.080 Great runner to be able to introduce for the the 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:04.600 first time ever anywhere, the forty fifth President of the 0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:06.320 United States of America. 0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:12.320 No, John, I need your thoughts on this, James. 0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:15.680 That poor woman, we've all seen her a thousand times 0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:18.639 since then over the last nine years. It's become a meme, 0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.840 the woman's screaming in the green jacket. But the thing 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:25.639 that I would remind our viewers of, James, is that 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.320 it's also the ninth anniversary of the riot that the 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:34.120 Democrats perpetrated on the day when Donald Trump was inaugurated 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:39.400 in twenty seventeen, and that riot they burned buildings, they 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:45.639 burned vehicles, they smashed storefront. Six law enforcement officers were injured, 0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.800 they attacked passers by. They did I think a thousand 0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:53.080 or ten thousand times as much damage in that riot 0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:57.359 has occurred in that famous incident of January sixth, twenty 0:25:57.400 --> 0:25:59.920 twenty one, that the Democrats always love to talk about. 0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.920 So it's also the ninth anniversary of when the Democrats 0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:08.960 rioted when Donald Trump was first inaugurated back in twenty seventeen. 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.400 Yes, John, but of course that was the tolerant left 0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:14.320 at work there, so of course we can't criticize it. 0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:17.400 But all, John Heineger, thank you so much for your time. Now, 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.120 time for a quick break, and when we come back, 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:22.720 the latest in the ongoing power struggle in Iran. But first, 0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.280 America just celebrated Martin muth King Day, in honor of 0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.680 the civil rights leader who looked forward to a day 0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:32.000 when Americans weren't judged on the color of their skin. 0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:36.800 Too bad, Michelle Obama didn't get the message. She's just 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.879 revealed how she does her clothes shopping. And if the 0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:42.240 designer's white, it's not all right. 0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:46.840 If I hear of someone who's fashion that I like, 0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:49.040 and I know that their person of color. I can 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:52.199 try to make it a point, but the clothes have 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:54.960 to be available, you know. I think we can all 0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:59.119 do some more to think about that balance in our wardrobes. 0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:02.439 You know, what does our closet look like and who's 0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:02.760 in it? 0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:07.360 Great question, and I'm sure that's a discussion that has 0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:10.480 often had in the Obama household. But really interesting that 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.320 supporting designers based on race is what Michelle is doing 0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:17.840 as America celebrates mister content of their character himself. Stick 0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:30.960 around Iran latest after the break, Welcome back to the program. 0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:33.359 Of course, the other big foreign policy story involving the 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.679 US right now is Iran. But after more than a 0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:39.600 fortnight of protests across the country and the deaths of 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:42.840 what is believed to be thousands of pro democracy demonstrators, 0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:46.679 the US appears not to be getting militarily involved in 0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:50.640 the toppling of the Mullahs, despite Donald Trump telling protesters 0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:53.240 that help was on its way here to help us 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:55.199 pick our way through all of this. A workout just 0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:57.480 what's going on is a great friend of the program. 0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:00.720 Senior fellow and director of the Center were Peace and 0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:05.680 Security in the Middle East at the Hudson Institute. Michael Dorin. Michael, 0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.159 welcome to the program. Thank you so much for joining me. 0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:10.880 Help me out here and tell me what is going 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.840 on with the administration. First they say help us on 0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:17.320 his way. Then it seems like they're backing off. Walk 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.400 us through what the strategy is here. 0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:22.720 Well, thanks for having me. Great to be here. 0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:25.720 I'm not as I'm not. 0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:29.480 As certain as you that there is no military action planned. 0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:34.159 Part of what's happened here is that the President has 0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:38.480 been buying time to bring forces into the Middle East. 0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:43.680 He was warned off the attack after he first threatened 0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:48.040 it by the neighbors, by the Saudis and the Turks especially, 0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:53.760 but also reportedly by Prime Minister Natanyahu, who said that 0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.000 if we're going to do this again, because I mean, 0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:00.800 if Donald Trump starts the war or if the Israeli 0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:06.840 whether whether Donald Trump starts the war or the Israeli started, 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:10.320 it's going to involve Israel and the United States. And 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:14.280 so Prime Minister Nathanielle said, it's not worth all of 0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:17.600 the effort if we don't really bring about a significant 0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:21.080 change this time. And so I think then Donald Trump 0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:24.680 bought some time. Uh, listen to the listen to the Allies. 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:28.880 But now he's also bringing reinforcements in and as of tomorrow, 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.960 we're going to have an aircraft Carrier Group UH in 0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:36.320 the region, as well as augmented UH missile air and 0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:40.240 missile defense systems. So I think that next week we 0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:41.680 might actually see the showdown. 0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:44.160 Well, that's going to be fascinating to watch, and we 0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:46.560 will keep watching this. But the other question, of course, 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:50.400 is you know what targets would the US be looking 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:55.080 to strike to actually bring forth a toppling of this 0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:58.160 of this hated regime which has been causing mayhem, not 0:29:58.240 --> 0:29:59.680 just in Iran, not just in the at least, but 0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:03.560 around the world since nineteen seventy nine. Where would you 0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.880 expect that they would be hitting targets? Would they be 0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:11.880 IRGC Republican Guard targets, would they be other military installations? 0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:15.400 How do you get militarily that regime to full And 0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.120 eventually I suppose the eye Tota and all his pals 0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.640 to pack their bags. It's some golden a carry on 0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:21.760 and head off to Moscow. 0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:26.120 Well, I think that the number one target would be 0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:32.479 how many himself? I think that the president of Iran 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:38.000 possession has been signaling quite openly. It's quite remarkable. Actually, 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:41.640 he's been saying, look, I feel your pain to the 0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:47.280 protesters that you're suffering economically. We understand that the only 0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:49.720 way to solve this is to have a negotiation with 0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:52.800 the Americans, because it's because of the sanctions that we 0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:57.560 can't make any economic advancement. But we can't negotiate with 0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:01.720 the Americans because the leader won't let us. I mean, 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.960 he doesn't say it quite like that, but if you 0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.880 put together all of the statements he's made, he's basically saying, 0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.280 my hands are tied. I think we should negotiate, but 0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:13.000 the Supreme Leader won't let us. So I think the 0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.800 natural thing if you're Donald Trump is to try to 0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:20.960 is to try to decapitate the regime and try to 0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:25.480 deal with the remnant, which is what they did basically 0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:29.760 in Venezuela. So it wouldn't surprise me at all. One 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:33.200 scenario would be to try to decapitate the regime. Another 0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:35.840 would be another would be to try to embolden the 0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:40.720 protests by, as you suggested, hit IERGC basis but very 0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:45.680 visible IERGC and besiege besieges the militia that is shooting 0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:47.200 all the people on the street. 0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:49.120 Right, And I mean, if you're the if you're the 0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:51.200 eye tool, if you're the supreme leader. You've watched what 0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:54.680 happened to Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. You've seen all of 0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:58.080 the targeted assassinations by the Israelis. You would have to 0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:01.920 be feeling very insecure right now, just about where you're 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:02.800 going to sleep at night. 0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:07.400 Well, he's very very insecure. One of the things that's 0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:11.440 gone on, it's fascinating James since the June War between 0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:15.560 Israel and Iran, is that he has surrounded himself by 0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:20.160 ultra loyalists because he found out after the during the 0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:23.040 war that he was lied to by his own people. 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:27.120 They lied to him about their capabilities, and then after 0:32:27.200 --> 0:32:30.480 the destruction by the Israelis, they lied to him about 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:36.400 the extent of the destruction. And so he has he 0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:40.880 has such distrust of the people around him that were 0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:45.360 around him because of the lies, but also distrust because 0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:49.280 of the deep penetration of Iran by Israelian intelligence, and 0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.360 this has led him, this has led him to surround 0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:55.840 himself now by ultra loyalists who are actually much more 0:32:55.840 --> 0:33:00.600 extreme in their political views than their predecessors. That's one 0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:03.600 of the things that worries the Israelis. They're expecting a very, 0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:08.440 very very sharp escalation by the Iranians the minute the 0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:09.440 Ranians are attacked. 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:12.480 Right, fascinating. Mike, thank you so much for walking us 0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:14.920 through this, and hopefully by the next time we speak 0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:17.320 we might actually see some resolution to this and a 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.760 sayonara to the Ayatola. Thank you so much for your time. 0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:22.520 As always, Now, don't go away because after the break, 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.320 a foreign visa scam in the United States has been 0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:30.480 exposed with massive repercussions. But first we need to address 0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:35.240 an elephant in the room now. When he was at Davos, 0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:39.440 Donald Trump made an embarrassing and much reported blunder when 0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:44.600 he mixed up Greenland and Iceland. It's true, but here's 0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:50.000 what's worse. That's not the only geography error Donald Trump made. 0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:53.000 See if you can spot it here, have a listen. 0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:58.440 There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all 0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:03.520 over the place, and they are losers. One thing I've 0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:07.080 noticed is that the more windmills the country has, the 0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:10.120 more money that country loses, and the worse that country 0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:10.560 is doing. 0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:15.120 Did you catch that that's right. He meant to say Australia, 0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.760 not Europe. And yet we keep building the damn things. 0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.480 Stick around the Blazed TV Sara Gonzalez is here after 0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:30.120 exposing a crooked visa scam in Texas. Don't go Away, 0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:37.120 Welcome back to the program. Well forget Somali daycare centers. 0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:40.360 Another major scam has been revealed in the United States 0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:43.640 in Texas in specific and possibly the rest of the country. 0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:47.960 Overseas fraudsters are allegedly exploiting something called the H one 0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:51.760 B visa, which allows employers in the US to hire 0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:55.719 and sponsor foreign nationals to fill the jobs requiring a 0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:59.239 bachelor's degree or hire. But all you need to do 0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:01.960 to get in on this, apparently is set up a 0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:05.880 business at a home address, and their allegations that foreigners 0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:09.200 are using these home addresses to create fake businesses and 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:13.880 fake job postings to bring in their overseas buddies. It's 0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:16.880 all been exposed by Blaz's TV hosts Sarah Gonzalez. Have 0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:17.520 a look at this. 0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.759 I was wondering, I was just looking for more information 0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:27.439 on Quibitt's technology. Cops, I would yeah, sure, I would 0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.200 love for the cops to come out here. I just 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:31.800 have some questions about the H one B visa workers 0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:35.000 that you workers for your company in here. Do they 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:35.640 work out of here? 0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:40.160 Cool? Well, I'm pleased to say that the Blaze TVs. 0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:43.319 Sarah Gonzalez joins me right now on the program. Sarah, 0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:45.759 Welcome to the program. Explain some of this to our 0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:49.000 viewers here. What is an H one B visa and 0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:50.840 how does this scam work? 0:35:52.000 --> 0:35:54.120 Yeah, thank you so much for having me on to 0:35:54.160 --> 0:35:56.319 talk about this very important issue that's happening here in 0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:59.480 the United States. So, the H one B visa was 0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:03.879 designed for people from certain other countries to come here 0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.520 to this country if they have a very special set 0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:09.680 of skills like say, you know, very very highly developed, 0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:14.360 you know, engineer, software engineer, is very high tech, elevated 0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:18.279 senior management people. This was designed specifically for people with 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.200 that unique skill set because the idea is, hey, we 0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:24.480 can't find American workers. We need to import these people 0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.359 to fill American jobs at high levels. But what's ended 0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:30.240 up happening is that this H one B visa program 0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.879 that was intended for good, is now of course being 0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:36.040 abused by people who want to bring their friends, their 0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:40.240 family and by people who, in this particular man's case, 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.400 I worry that he is what they call a body shop. 0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:47.960 So a body shop are people who act as consulting companies, 0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.600 bring in a bunch of H one B workers and 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.560 farm them out and take a portion of their money 0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:56.080 that they are making. It's a really, really nasty scam. 0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:59.279 But unfortunately the fraud that we've uncovered is just the 0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:01.359 tip of the ice. Or we started finding so much 0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:04.440 information here in the state of Texas that we decided 0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:08.040 we've got to do a multi part expos just going 0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:11.440 around and exposing all of this potential fraud that is 0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:13.680 really happening right in front of our eyes, and nobody 0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:14.760 seems to be paying attention. 0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:18.000 And Sarah, this whole debate about skilled visas, we have 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:21.359 the same thing here in Australia, where people are worried that, 0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:23.759 you know, you're bringing in migrants to take jobs of 0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.320 local workers. I have heard that these H one B 0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:29.520 visas have been devastating to people who say have computer 0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:32.359 science degrees and things of that nature because they keep 0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:37.160 getting undercut by foreign workers. And corporations absolutely love these things. 0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:40.719 Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, because they can get these 0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:42.600 they can get these foreign workers. They think that they 0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:45.520 can get them at a lower rate, and of course 0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:47.960 these workers are it's kind of like a new slave 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:50.399 that they're importing. Because they know that these people are 0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:52.600 beholden to these companies. They want the H one B. 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:54.959 They have to do exactly what is told to them 0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:57.200 so that they can continue to keep that H one B. 0:37:57.320 --> 0:37:59.640 It's a really, really nasty thing that they're doing. I'll 0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:01.399 give you a few others as well. I was going 0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:03.920 through a database that listed all of these H one 0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:07.520 B jobs that were out there for people to apply to, 0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.480 and I started noticing something very interesting. What I started 0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:13.520 noticing is that there were a lot of elementary school teachers. 0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:15.719 There were a lot of middle school math teachers. There 0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:18.560 were a lot of bilingual teachers, there were a lot 0:38:18.600 --> 0:38:20.680 of In fact, I even found one at Texas A 0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:24.480 and M University for an athletic trainer. I refuse to 0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:27.319 believe that we don't have Americans that are able to 0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:30.560 fill these jobs with these people that are exploiting the system. 0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.359 They're abusing the system, and as you pointed out, there 0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:35.799 are a lot of people in computer science that are 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.399 very upset. We set up an email address for people 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.240 to send tips to, and we started receiving a flood 0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:43.319 of tips that were bringing that were coming into our 0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.439 email address, and people were saying the same story time 0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:49.640 and time again. I'm a computer software programmer, and I 0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.920 found myself without work because there was an Indian in 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:56.359 management who came over and brought over all of their 0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:59.279 Indian friends, and they refused to hire anyone else who 0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.080 was not Indian or came from India. I received time 0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:04.960 and time again, story after story after story. It's a 0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:07.640 huge problem in this country. And I have to wonder 0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:09.480 what the folks over at the center, you know, the 0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:13.200 uscis for Immigration Services. I have to wonder what they're 0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:14.120 doing well. 0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:16.080 I mean, Sarah, it sounds like, to break it down, 0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:18.560 to put it quite simply, it sounds like everybody is 0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:22.240 getting a cut in this program except the American worker 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.240 who winds up getting the shaft. 0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:28.440 Yes, yes, you're exactly right. You're absolutely exactly right. And 0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:31.600 as much as I support President Trump and his second term, 0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.440 and as much as I am so grateful to God 0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:36.640 that we are blessed with another term of President Trump, 0:39:37.360 --> 0:39:40.160 we need answers on this. We need a federal government 0:39:40.200 --> 0:39:42.480 that will take control of this. Many people who are 0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:45.360 outside this country see what's happening with illegal immigration and 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:47.399 they think, oh, well, they're taking care of it. They're 0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:49.960 taking care of the immigration problem. We don't have just 0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:53.320 an illegal immigration problem. We have a legal immigration problem. 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.880 It has been heavily exploited and it has been changing 0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:58.799 our communities not for the better. So there is still 0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:00.719 a lot of work that needs to be done in 0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:03.680 rooting out all of these fraudulent visas and all of 0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:06.319 these fraudulent jobs and getting rid of them. 0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:08.520 But Sarah, there is so much to do in so 0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:10.719 little time. But there is a bit of good news here. 0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:12.799 I was struck by this story from the Council on 0:40:12.840 --> 0:40:16.399 Criminal Justice, which found that murders, and remember, murders are 0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:19.200 the hardest crime to not report. They're not like a 0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:21.680 car theft or a burglary. They found murders in the 0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:25.160 United States dropped more than twenty percent in twenty twenty 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.600 five from the year before. This is the single largest 0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:31.440 one year drop on record, possibly the lowest murder rate 0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:35.399 in the US since nineteen hundred. Does this vindicate this 0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:40.000 idea of going after criminal aliens you don't belong in 0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:43.000 the country is there a connection that we can draw 0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:48.160 between the active deportation of gang members and criminals and 0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:50.040 this drop in the American murder rate. 0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:53.640 Absolutely, of course you can. I mean, it doesn't take 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:56.719 a rocket scientist to understand that once you finally have 0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:59.360 law and order into this country, once you finally have 0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:02.319 a federal law enforcement agency that has been of course 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:06.640 emboldened by their executive, President Trump, to go out and 0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:08.560 fight crime and get rid of the bad guys. It's 0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:11.200 really that simple. We're getting rid of the bad guys. 0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:14.120 We are sending them back home. And not only are 0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:16.760 we sending the illegals back home, but again President Trump 0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:18.840 has made very clear that we will have law and 0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:21.000 order back in this country. So whether that is ICE, 0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:23.959 whether that is DHS, whether that is the National Guard 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:27.000 who's going into places like Washington, d C. Who's going 0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:29.720 into these places with their local leaders who have decided 0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:33.160 to just completely abdicate their responsibility. President Trump has made 0:41:33.160 --> 0:41:36.040 it very clear that we will no longer tolerate the 0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:40.640 lawlessness and the vicious, violent criminals that we're getting led 0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.399 out into our streets time and time again. So I mean, 0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:47.600 there's a new watchman, and everyone has been put on 0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:50.640 alert that we will not tolerate it anymore, especially with 0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:52.480 regard to illegals. You're absolutely right. 0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:54.120 Well, and it's not just so about the crime and 0:41:54.160 --> 0:41:57.640 the immigration and everything. The economy. The economic situation is 0:41:57.640 --> 0:41:59.719 something that I think is going to play hugely in 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:02.400 these coming mid terms later this year. I was struck 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.560 by this. The CEO of the huge hedge fund Citadel, 0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:09.520 has slammed former US President Joe Biden over his handling 0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:11.759 of the economy. Here's what he had to say at 0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:13.160 Davos a little while ago. 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:19.600 You cannot imagine how painful it was each and every 0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:24.000 day under the Biden administration to look at what new, 0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:28.000 crazy proposal was being put into place to solve a 0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:30.200 problem that didn't even exist. 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:34.160 Sarah. This is a massive indictment from a major, major 0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:36.839 person in the hedge fund industry of just how bad 0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:38.120 things really were under Biden. 0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:38.160 It. 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.120 I mean, we all knew it, but this kind of 0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:40.799 confirms it. 0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:43.200 Yeah, it of course does. 0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:43.359 Now. 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.200 I will say, we could have used that energy during 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:48.719 the actual Biden regime. It would have been nice to 0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:52.640 hear from all of these high ranking you know, economists 0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:55.239 and individuals who are now comfortable saying it, But of 0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:57.480 course it's total vindication for the rest of us who 0:42:57.520 --> 0:43:00.120 were talking about prices were up everywhere. We have had 0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:03.120 gas prices up, we had grocery prices up, everything was up, 0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:06.040 Inflation was up. And it turns out when you actually 0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:10.920 elect a president who understands the policies which he is setting, 0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:13.920 you get the results that President Trump is now delivering on. 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:16.160 We've got a ways to go. Obviously, you can't solve 0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:19.480 a four year crisis in an entire year, but we're 0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:22.520 already seeing I will tell you they are strangely silent 0:43:22.600 --> 0:43:24.880 the left. As much as they were screaming about the eggs. 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:27.600 Remember President Trump came into office and they were screaming 0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:28.280 about the eggs. 0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:29.279 I don't seem to. 0:43:29.280 --> 0:43:31.759 Hear too much about the eggs anymore because the ad 0:43:31.800 --> 0:43:35.120 prices have gone down tremendously. They can't scream about the 0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:37.359 eggs anymore, and now all of a sudden, they don't 0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:39.640 want to talk about those things. But I'm very, very 0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:42.800 encouraged by what I've seen, and it's nice to hear finally. 0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:44.640 Could have used it earlier, but it's nice to hear 0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:49.320 finally all of these people admitting Joe Biden ruined our economy. 0:43:49.680 --> 0:43:52.520 But Sarah, of course, there's still the culture to discuss here. 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:54.000 And I was struck by this story out of a 0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:57.239 Kansas public school which has told kids they cannot list 0:43:57.320 --> 0:44:01.480 Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, or other right or conservative figures 0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:05.080 as heroes, including even Jesus. It's just matters. Have a 0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:05.480 look at this. 0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:08.880 The class was asked to write out who they consider 0:44:08.920 --> 0:44:11.880 a hero. One child wrote Charlie Kirk was their hero, 0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:15.759 and the guidance counselor apparently got frustrated. Then another child 0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:18.759 wrote Donald Trump, and they got more annoyed. After that 0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:21.319 a student wrote Jesus, and the counselor said that none 0:44:21.360 --> 0:44:22.520 of those names were allowed. 0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:27.520 Sarah, very quickly your reaction to this, Yeah, it reminds 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:29.680 me of the time a few years ago pre COVID, 0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:31.880 when I took my son to his charter school and 0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:35.200 he was supposed to come up with his hero. They 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.560 were doing a little walkthrough that got to dress up 0:44:37.560 --> 0:44:39.440 like it. He said, Donald Trump. They said no, And 0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:42.200 curiously enough, there was a Barack Obama who was able 0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:44.360 to be there, but know Donald Trump. Look, this is 0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:47.840 the result, the end result of all of these communists 0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:51.400 and Marxist coming in and infiltrating in the education system. 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:54.080 You have, of course, guidance counselors like this one who 0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:56.120 are going to come in and tried to train all 0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:58.680 of these young people, trying to train an entire generation 0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:02.399 of communists. This is why the school choice movement has 0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:05.840 set fire across this nation, is because conservatives and just 0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:10.400 sane people don't want communists teaching these children what to 0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:13.160 think rather than how to think. And this is really, 0:45:13.239 --> 0:45:16.040 really truly despicable. But I hope that the parents in 0:45:16.080 --> 0:45:18.920 the school district are opening their eyes and looking at 0:45:18.920 --> 0:45:21.600 their other choices because we have to change the public 0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:23.279 school system here in this country. 0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:25.840 Sarah Gonzales from Blaze TV, thank you so much, and 0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:28.640 thank you for your courage in calling out communists that 0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:31.080 need we need more of your straight talk. Thank you 0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:33.480 so much, Sarah. Now don't go anywhere, because Only in 0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:36.080 America is coming at you right after the break. But 0:45:36.200 --> 0:45:39.000 first I wanted to show you this great lady who 0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:43.279 shut down some anti ice protesters who think that, oh, no, 0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:47.960 enforcing immigration laws is all about white supremacy. Well not 0:45:48.080 --> 0:45:48.760 so fast. 0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:51.920 Take it away, all right, you want to help me 0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:55.000 go home wherever that Homeians go. 0:45:55.719 --> 0:46:00.640 All right, I know why supremacy American knowing an. 0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:07.440 American is now there is a patriot, And I'll tell 0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:09.600 you what, those Karens could learn a thing or two 0:46:09.600 --> 0:46:12.720 from her. Stick around because Only in America is next. 0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:23.680 Welcome back to the program, and now it's time for 0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:32.759 that segment. You know and love Only in America. Right Well, 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:35.279 if you like me, you cannot stand how politics has 0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:39.680 infected sport and particularly sports journalism. So I love this 0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:44.600 response of American tennis player Adasamova, who absolutely shut down 0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:46.880 this numpty who tried to get her to dump on 0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:50.360 the US of A at the Australian Open. Here's this 0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:52.040 reporter's first serve. 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:56.360 Hey An, I'm congratulations on the wind. I've been asking 0:46:56.360 --> 0:46:58.280 a lot of the American players just how it feels 0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:00.399 to play under the American flag right now, and I'm 0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:01.320 curious how you feel. 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:04.800 Yeah, I mean, I was born in America, so I'm 0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:08.279 always proud to represent my country, and yeah, a lot 0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:10.799 of us are doing really well and it's great to 0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:13.279 see a lot of you know, great athletes on the 0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:16.200 women's side, on the men's side, So yeah, I feel 0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:19.600 like we're all doing a great job representing ourselves. 0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:22.759 But he wasn't done there. He had another go. 0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:26.520 Just to clarify a little, I mean, sort of in 0:47:26.520 --> 0:47:29.160 the context of the last year of everything that's been 0:47:29.160 --> 0:47:32.040 happening in the US. Does that complicate that feeling at all? 0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:34.640 I don't think that's relevant. 0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:38.239 Good on Anna, I think she aced that one, and 0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:40.600 it was a double fault from the reporter who I 0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:43.840 probably didn't need to tell you this was from, of course, 0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:47.360 the New York Times. Anyway, that's all the time we 0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:49.200 have this week. See you next time, and I'll see 0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:53.600 a Sunday for outsiders. Bye bye.
