Speaker 1: This is the US Report with James Moroar.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the program. An absolute ton
Speaker 2: to get through tonight, including how China is astroturfing, the
Speaker 2: anti war movement in the US, and the guy the
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to run for Senate out of Texas
Speaker 2: who believes that there are count of one, two, three, four, five,
Speaker 2: six genders. But before we get to all that, it's
Speaker 2: obviously a massive and historic week in the US and
Speaker 2: around the world. Now, when we last got together, it
Speaker 2: was still an open question as to whether Donald Trump
Speaker 2: would strike Iran. Now though we are in the thick
Speaker 2: of it, and let me say that we are seeing
Speaker 2: something I have been waiting almost my whole life to see,
Speaker 2: an America that has the will to win, particularly against
Speaker 2: the Mullahs of Iran, who have been a nightmare since
Speaker 2: they took power in a violent coup and revolution supported
Speaker 2: it must be said by all the leading lights of
Speaker 2: the global left forty seven years ago. Now, though the
Speaker 2: nightmare is perhaps close to over if and I say
Speaker 2: if Donald Trump and America decide to see this thing through,
Speaker 2: because when America wants to use its power, it is unmatched.
Speaker 2: And I thought nothing summed this up better than this
Speaker 2: periscope footage of an American sub torpedoing an Iranian frigate
Speaker 2: somewhere off Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, where it
Speaker 2: was presumably steaming to get within range of Diego, Garcia
Speaker 2: and the massive American military complex there. Now, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie. I love that that ship was sunk, and
Speaker 2: the fact that it was a pair of a Soleimani
Speaker 2: class frigate named after Cassem Soleimani, the austere religious leader
Speaker 2: as the Washington Post famously described him as, but also
Speaker 2: the terrorist commander Trump saw off in the final days
Speaker 2: of his first term. Well, that's just the icing on
Speaker 2: the cake. But ironies aside, the pro Iran left has
Speaker 2: predictably lost its mind, saying that what we are seeing
Speaker 2: right now is a violation of international law because they say,
Speaker 2: bizarrely that the ship was international waters, so somehow it
Speaker 2: should have been untouched. I'm sorry, don't they understand how
Speaker 2: these things work? I mean the horror, the horror of
Speaker 2: the US Navy engaging in naval combat sheesh. In any case,
Speaker 2: this thinking is the good news, along with the fact
Speaker 2: that much of the Irani in military is crushed their
Speaker 2: navy at the bottom of the sea, and the US
Speaker 2: is now apparently dominant in the skies over Iran. The
Speaker 2: war machine of a country that since nineteen seventy nine
Speaker 2: has had as its top priorities killing Americans, killing Jews,
Speaker 2: and dominating the Middle East with its particular brand of
Speaker 2: religious fanaticism barely functions any more. I thought Secretary of
Speaker 2: State Marco Rubio did a pretty good job laying it
Speaker 2: out here to an angry press corps, which has decided
Speaker 2: that Trump should have gone to all five hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty five members of Congress to get permission to strike,
Speaker 2: with the hope that the plan wouldn't leak.
Speaker 3: Oh that's not our notification to Congress, our notification. Listen,
Speaker 3: let me explain to you guys this in simple English.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics. They have
Speaker 3: an ambition to have nuclear weapons.
Speaker 4: They intend to.
Speaker 3: Develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and
Speaker 3: drones and terrorism that the world will not be able
Speaker 3: to touch them for fear of those things. And this
Speaker 3: is the weakest they've ever been. Now is the time
Speaker 3: to go after them. The President made the decision to
Speaker 3: go after them. Take away their missiles, take away their navy,
Speaker 3: take away their drones, take away their ability to make
Speaker 3: those things, so that they can never have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 4: That's why the President made this decision.
Speaker 3: It was the right decision, and the world will be
Speaker 3: a safer place when these radical clerics and all of
Speaker 3: them have access to these weapons.
Speaker 2: Well, he is absolutely right, but and I want to
Speaker 2: get right into it with our experts quickly, so I'm
Speaker 2: going to make this very brief. I am also concerned
Speaker 2: now that having started this conflict, there is a danger
Speaker 2: that Trump decides to not go all the way, that
Speaker 2: he won't go the full regime change, and that the
Speaker 2: administration might settle for a deeply damaged Iran that promises
Speaker 2: to stop trying to get nukes, but which still is
Speaker 2: free to act obnoxiously and can still possibly get away
Speaker 2: with it. Now, the danger I see is that the
Speaker 2: tedium of the war, political pressure, and the pressure of
Speaker 2: oil prices on the economy forces not Iran but the
Speaker 2: White House, which has to be far more responsive to
Speaker 2: its people than a clerical dictatorship in Tehran. Well, that
Speaker 2: all this might force some sort of deal and let
Speaker 2: me lay a marker down right now and say that
Speaker 2: this would be a world historical mistake. Now, I think
Speaker 2: Rubio and many in the Trump administration, including Secretary of
Speaker 2: Defense Pete Hegseith, get it. Just the other day, Hegxith
Speaker 2: referred to the radical brand of Shiite Islam driving Tehran's
Speaker 2: decision making and decision making, especially regarding their desire for
Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. But there is also the danger of tactical miscalculation,
Speaker 2: and I think we may be seeing one in the
Speaker 2: move to push Kurve to attack in western Iran in
Speaker 2: an attempt to provoke a broader general uprising in the country. Frankly,
Speaker 2: my read is that this could be a mistake because
Speaker 2: it risks ethnic conflict rather than regime change, and the
Speaker 2: Iranian minority group members that I know certainly don't want
Speaker 2: their country dismembered, even if they want their country back.
Speaker 2: But if Trump sticks this out, if Trump gets a
Speaker 2: real regime change, gets Iran to stop making war on
Speaker 2: its neighbor, allowing the Gulf States to have the breathing
Speaker 2: room to make peace with Israel, and thus creating peace
Speaker 2: in the Middle East, well that might just win the
Speaker 2: Nobel Prize for Trump. That for whatever reason he covets
Speaker 2: so greatly. Who am I kidding? The Nobel Prize? Well, look,
Speaker 2: you and I both know that even if he does
Speaker 2: all that, they'll probably give it to you. I don't
Speaker 2: know a gay ink and maze farmer in Peru who
Speaker 2: stood up the local mining company or something like that.
Speaker 2: But you know what a guy can dream, can't he? Well,
Speaker 2: America has been flexing its muscle in the Indian Ocean,
Speaker 2: well beyond the shores of Iran. A US submarine sank
Speaker 2: an Iranian warship with a torpedo the other day. It's
Speaker 2: the first such seeking of an enemy ship by torpedo
Speaker 2: from a submarine since World War Two. Here's Secretary of
Speaker 2: War Pete Hanks us talking about.
Speaker 5: It like in that war, back when we were still
Speaker 5: in the War Department.
Speaker 4: We are fighting to win.
Speaker 2: And join me now to talk about this and a
Speaker 2: lot more is retired colonel turned author and columnist Kurt Schlichter. Kurt, firstly,
Speaker 2: thanks for coming on and thank you for your service.
Speaker 2: One thing I've been hearing from veterans since this clip
Speaker 2: particularly hasn't is how much they loved seeing it, because
Speaker 2: to them it has shown America is fighting to win again.
Speaker 2: I'd love to get your thoughts on how the war
Speaker 2: is being prosecuted at the moment, but particularly on seeing
Speaker 2: something like seeking this enemy ship in international waters, which
Speaker 2: the left is now saying is somehow against international law.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I.
Speaker 5: Would ask them, could just cite the international law that
Speaker 5: you're referring to that says the United States can't destroy
Speaker 5: enemy naval vessels on the high seas. But that would
Speaker 5: that would imply that I believe they were either acting
Speaker 5: acting in good faith, and knew what they were talking about,
Speaker 5: neither of which is true. For the last eighty years,
Speaker 5: the project of much of the world has been to
Speaker 5: convince America not to use its power. America hasn't been
Speaker 5: restrained by competitors. America has been restrained by the United
Speaker 5: States accepting the so called international legal order. The the
Speaker 5: kind of globalist assumptions that basically tell America, you know,
Speaker 5: you've got you gotta take some blows. You can't really
Speaker 5: you can't really throw punches. Donald Trump represents the part
Speaker 5: of America that rejects that. He represents the kind of
Speaker 5: people who go had to go and fight these wars
Speaker 5: with limited rules of engagement with limited objectives that were
Speaker 5: not fought to win. You're now seeing American power unleashed,
Speaker 5: and you're not just seeing it in this war. You
Speaker 5: see it with NATO, where we essentially told them, Yeah,
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to you're gonna have to carry your
Speaker 5: own way to defend yourselves. We're not giving you free
Speaker 5: money anymore. So you can import hordes of third world
Speaker 5: monsters to take over your society and fund a giant
Speaker 5: welfare state. It's not happening anymore. The same thing with
Speaker 5: American trade deals. You're seeing a America exercising its power
Speaker 5: and refusing to be tied down by arbitrary and false
Speaker 5: conceptions of what it can and can't do.
Speaker 2: Well. You know, it's really interesting, Kirt, that you talk
Speaker 2: about projecting American power again. Donald Trump spoke a little
Speaker 2: while ago about their move to guarantee shipping as oil
Speaker 2: shipping through the Straightsform moves. Let's just have a little
Speaker 2: listen to that.
Speaker 6: My administration announced decisive action to help keep down the
Speaker 6: oil prices, including offering political risk insurance for tankers transiting
Speaker 6: into the Gulf as you know, pretty dangerous territory. Further
Speaker 6: action to reduce pressure on oil is eminent, and the
Speaker 6: oil seems to have pretty much stabilized.
Speaker 5: We had it very low, Kurt.
Speaker 2: It seems to me that the really important thing about
Speaker 2: this move here is that it is making the West
Speaker 2: now basically the guarranteur of the global oil market, giving
Speaker 2: the world a huge now stake in the success of
Speaker 2: this mission.
Speaker 5: Well, it certainly is. The fact is the United States
Speaker 5: is the only country that can do these things. I
Speaker 5: remember thirty five years ago I was sitting in the
Speaker 5: Persian Gulf. As part of Operation Desert Storm. The United
Speaker 5: States picked up five hundred thousand people, all their equipment,
Speaker 5: moved it across the globe, moved it to the middle
Speaker 5: of a desert, and then attacked with it and destroyed
Speaker 5: an enemy army, the fourth largest in the world, in
Speaker 5: one hundred hours. That peels in comparison to what we
Speaker 5: can do now. The simple fact is only the United States.
Speaker 5: You know, we don't want to be the world's policeman,
Speaker 5: but there's nobody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, that's right. And yet when it comes to
Speaker 2: an American power, there are plenty of people within the
Speaker 2: United States who are trying to restrain that power and
Speaker 2: I'm talking about congressional Democrats in the Senate and in
Speaker 2: the House. Well, they've just had a massive blow where
Speaker 2: their attempts to shut down this conflict of the American
Speaker 2: mission have failed. But I think it just is a
Speaker 2: really big tell on them that essentially they're voting for
Speaker 2: the Ayatolla is over America.
Speaker 5: Well look, I was a freshman in high school when
Speaker 5: they first took our hostages. Then they proceeded to murder
Speaker 5: our Marines in Lebanon, they blew up our embassies, they
Speaker 5: killed and named hundreds of Americans in Iran through their
Speaker 5: pet militia or in Iraq through their pet militias. They've
Speaker 5: threatened US, they've bombed our allies, and now they've got
Speaker 5: to die.
Speaker 1: We're done.
Speaker 4: It's over.
Speaker 5: This needs to finish. There is I don't care that
Speaker 5: leftists are upset that America is no longer going to
Speaker 5: allow itself to watch its citizens maimed and murdered by
Speaker 5: these seventh century savages. That's done. We're not playing that anymore.
Speaker 5: And if you're afraid of America, good you should be.
Speaker 5: Don't screw with us. I guarantee you'll be fine if
Speaker 5: you don't. If you do Yeah, take out a term
Speaker 5: life's insurance policy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm not sure you can
Speaker 2: get insurance at any price if you're an Iatola and
Speaker 2: Iran at the moment. But you know this complete sophistry though,
Speaker 2: This is complete sophistry on the part of not just
Speaker 2: the Democrats, but like the Washington Post, because I was
Speaker 2: reading their report on the vote and they said they
Speaker 2: failed in their vote to end a war that Trump
Speaker 2: started without permission. Now, Kurt, you and I both know
Speaker 2: that if Trump did what the Washington Post wanted them
Speaker 2: to do, which is to go to all five hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty five members of Congress and say, Okay, here's
Speaker 2: our plan, here's what we're gonna do. Ilhan Omar, you
Speaker 2: get to vote on what we're gonna do. Here, I mean,
Speaker 2: the thing would have leaked all over the press in
Speaker 2: thirty seconds. The great key to this whole thing is
Speaker 2: that Trump has been able to keep this in such
Speaker 2: a tight informational compartment and not be leaked by Congress
Speaker 2: and the press.
Speaker 5: That's certainly true. Look for your Australian audience, there are
Speaker 5: legitimate arguments over the extent of presidential power to conduct warfare,
Speaker 5: and there are limits to it, and Congress should have
Speaker 5: a certain role. That being said, it doesn't have the
Speaker 5: only role. The president is the commander in chief. President
Speaker 5: can launch military endeavors at some point. Congress is free
Speaker 5: to reassert its power if it chooses to. It has
Speaker 5: chosen not to, which indicates to me it supports this
Speaker 5: very necessary war. Now you mentioned in there somebody said, well,
Speaker 5: this war that Trump had started, Wait time out. We
Speaker 5: didn't start. They started it when they took our hostages.
Speaker 5: They started when they murdered our marines, when they killed
Speaker 5: our soldiers. We're finishing it. And again, if you don't
Speaker 5: like the new tough, uncompromising America that, don't let you
Speaker 5: hide in your little safe havens, and don't let a
Speaker 5: bunch of Davos creeps tell us, oh no, it's against
Speaker 5: the rules to win, well, too bad, call the International Dalis.
Speaker 2: Indeed, thank you so much, Kurt Schlicktter. Always great to
Speaker 2: speak with you. Love having you here on the US report.
Speaker 2: Will catch up soon.
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot more happening in US politics back home
Speaker 2: as well, so joining me now'll discuss this and more.
Speaker 2: Is great friend and friend of the program former Trump
Speaker 2: chief of Staff and senior advisor of Bondi Partners, Mick Mulvaaney. Mick,
Speaker 2: We've had some breaking news here just a few hours ago.
Speaker 2: I want your thoughts on the news that broke late
Speaker 2: today about Donald Trump replacing the head of Homeland Security,
Speaker 2: the controversial Christy Nome. Tell us about what's happened, why
Speaker 2: she's gone, and who's going to be replacing her.
Speaker 4: James.
Speaker 7: It looks like the straw that broke the camel's back.
Speaker 7: The ultimate issue that led to Secretary nomes departure was
Speaker 7: her testimony yesterday to the Senate. She was asked by
Speaker 7: a Republican senator about a two hundred million dollar ad campaign,
Speaker 7: and he asked her specifically if the President had approved that.
Speaker 7: She said that the President had, and then apparently after
Speaker 7: the hearing, the senator called the president and the President
Speaker 7: said that he remembered things differently. That's usually the end
Speaker 7: of a cabinet secretary when they're not at the same
Speaker 7: page as the president. Look at either the cabinet secretary
Speaker 7: was lying or the President was lying.
Speaker 4: But in that battle, I know who loses. So she
Speaker 4: was replaced. She's replaced.
Speaker 7: I think it's effective March thirty first, but she's replaced
Speaker 7: by another Senator, Mark Wayn Mullen from Oklahoma, a close
Speaker 7: friend of the president, and he should be confirmed, hopefully
Speaker 7: by the end of March.
Speaker 2: And tell us what do we know about Senator Mullen.
Speaker 2: He's a conservative. I saw him speaking earlier saying, you know,
Speaker 2: he was definitively of the conservative school here. Do you
Speaker 2: think he's going to have any trouble getting through confirmation?
Speaker 2: On the Democrats going to try and make noise. I
Speaker 2: know Hakim Jeffries was saying, oh, well, we want a
Speaker 2: full change in policy, but it sounds like Trump is
Speaker 2: not changing policy, just personnel.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: The initial reaction was actually quite interesting to me. I
Speaker 7: know a lot of these folks. Mark Wayne and I
Speaker 7: served in the House together before he was in the Senate.
Speaker 7: There's actually a couple of senators, Democrat senaters. They came
Speaker 7: out and said positive things about Mark Wayne and indicated
Speaker 7: a willingness to consider voting for him.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that will hold up.
Speaker 7: Because DHS, which of course is in charge of border
Speaker 7: security and ice, it was probably the single most controversial
Speaker 7: agency right now in the federal government. I can't imagine
Speaker 7: how Democrats could support any Trump nominee for that position.
Speaker 4: But Mark Wayne is well liked.
Speaker 7: I guess if I was going to tell you something
Speaker 7: interesting about him, Mark Wayne is a mixed martial arts champion.
Speaker 7: He's probably the toughest guy in the House or the Senate.
Speaker 7: He used to lead the workout routines in the morning
Speaker 7: when I was in the House with him, and I
Speaker 7: got news for you. I don't want to get in
Speaker 7: a fight with Mark waynemullen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'd love to see him out there maybe
Speaker 2: trying to handle some of those ice protests personally. That
Speaker 2: could be quite a music. But Mick, what does this
Speaker 2: do then, in terms of his replacement in the Senate?
Speaker 2: Walk our viewers through what that's like. Is there a
Speaker 2: by election and does this put at all the Republican's
Speaker 2: narrow lead in the Senate in jeopardy?
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't.
Speaker 7: The House functions different than the Senate, and the Senate
Speaker 7: functions differently than the House. In the Senate, the governor
Speaker 7: will make an appointment, and I think may make the
Speaker 7: appointment just as soon as Mark Wayne mullen is confirmed.
Speaker 7: So what will happen is Mark Wayne will stay in
Speaker 7: the Senate until he is confirmed. I actually think technically
Speaker 7: he can vote for himself. I think Marko Rubio did,
Speaker 7: and then he will resign and the Republican governor of
Speaker 7: Oklahoma will immediately name a replacement. Under the unusual rules
Speaker 7: of Oklahoma, that person then cannot run for a re election,
Speaker 7: so there will be a new Senator again in November.
Speaker 4: Curiously, I know this wasn't your question.
Speaker 7: There's already chatter about Christy Nome running for Senate in
Speaker 7: South Dakota. There's a fairly moderate centrist Republican there who's
Speaker 7: up for reelection this year, as Christi. Noman was the
Speaker 7: former governor of South Dakota, and there are rumors that
Speaker 7: she is actually looking at falling to run against her
Speaker 7: fellow Republicans. So that'll be another fascinating wrinkle here as
Speaker 7: we go ahead.
Speaker 2: Huh, that will be one to watch. We should keep
Speaker 2: an eye on that. But also when we were to
Speaker 2: Texas too, speaking of the Senate, because Democrats think they
Speaker 2: may be in with a chance to win their first
Speaker 2: Senate seat out of Texas since nineteen eighty. But I'm
Speaker 2: a little confused about this one, Mick, because there was
Speaker 2: a hotly contested primary, the Democrats rejected Congresswoman Jasmin Crockett,
Speaker 2: a black woman, in favor of white guy James Tallerico,
Speaker 2: who they think is actually more moderate and therefore stands
Speaker 2: a better chance to win. But Mick, the Democrats are
Speaker 2: running on this line that Tallarico is a Christian and
Speaker 2: a Presbyterian seminarian, that he's more electable. But have a
Speaker 2: look at this.
Speaker 8: Did they teach you in Sunday School that Jesus Christ
Speaker 8: himself was a radical feminist? Before we go further, I
Speaker 8: want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.
Speaker 8: Defending Trans Texas is something we have to do every
Speaker 8: day at the state capital. Our southern border should be
Speaker 8: like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome
Speaker 8: that out front and a lock on the door. We
Speaker 8: can welcome immigrants who want to live the American dream.
Speaker 8: We can build a pathway to citizenship for those neighbors
Speaker 8: who have been here, making us richer and stronger.
Speaker 2: Make I know I'm not the greatest Christian in the world,
Speaker 2: but I'm not sure he is a radical feminist. And
Speaker 2: I'm not a great scientist, but I'm not sure that
Speaker 2: trans people need abortion care. How is this all going
Speaker 2: to go down in Texas.
Speaker 7: I've only now recently seen that clip since he won
Speaker 7: the primary. I don't follow Texas politics that closely until
Speaker 7: you get to the general election. But my guess is
Speaker 7: a lot of other people will be seeing those clips
Speaker 7: in Texas for the next several months. Look, the Democrats
Speaker 7: have sort of this dream of taking over Texas in
Speaker 7: the same way the Republicans used to have that dream
Speaker 7: about Florida. Now it worked in Florida, which is now
Speaker 7: a solidly Republican state. The Democrats, I think, are a
Speaker 7: long way here from turning Texas blue. Keep in mind,
Speaker 7: this is the same state that said Beto O'Rourke was
Speaker 7: the next great hope of the Democrat Party, and now
Speaker 7: I think he's serving pizza some places.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what he's doing.
Speaker 7: So the press will go through this mantra about how
Speaker 7: James tell Errico is the future of the party in Texas,
Speaker 7: alway has a chance, et cetera. Here's the wrinkle. The
Speaker 7: wrinkle is that the Republicans don't have their candidate yet.
Speaker 7: They have two candidates, neither of whom won enough votes
Speaker 7: in the Republican primary on Tuesday night to get the nomination.
Speaker 7: So that's John corn the longtime sitting Republican Senator, and
Speaker 7: Ken Paxton, the sitting Texas state attorney general. Both of
Speaker 7: them have their difficulties, as is evidenced by the fact
Speaker 7: that neither one of them could win outright in the primary.
Speaker 7: The general wisdom is that James is a John Cornyn
Speaker 7: can beat tall Rico, but that Paxton, who's had a
Speaker 7: lot of difficulties in his private life, may struggle to
Speaker 7: run against tall Rico. So we'll know a little bit
Speaker 7: more about this race in May. But this is going
Speaker 7: to be a very very close, very very expensive race,
Speaker 7: probably the most expensive in the country. But my guess
Speaker 7: is that you're at least another cycle or two away
Speaker 7: from having Texas have to worry about turning blue.
Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you what, Mick. I heard one person
Speaker 2: say that they thought the Texas Democrats had gone from
Speaker 2: beto to beta with tall Rico here. But I want
Speaker 2: to move on finally to the war and to the midterms,
Speaker 2: which I think are two events that are going to
Speaker 2: kind of crash into each other here. And I know
Speaker 2: there's conventional wisdom that all of this conflict could harm
Speaker 2: Trump and the Republicans. But there was a fascinating poll
Speaker 2: on RealClearPolitics dot com today which revealed that at this point,
Speaker 2: at March fifth, in the second year of the second term,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is actually more popular than Barack Obama was
Speaker 2: and more popular than George Bush was. And then there's
Speaker 2: been other polling which says that among Republicans, Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is more popular than ever so in terms of how
Speaker 2: things are affecting, how global events are affecting Trump and
Speaker 2: the Republicans not seeing a lot of movement in the
Speaker 2: needle here. What's your read and how do you think
Speaker 2: this conflict that's ongoing in the Middle East is going
Speaker 2: to play out for the midterms.
Speaker 4: It's too soon to tell, James, It's too soon.
Speaker 7: If this turns in to be another very very successful,
Speaker 7: very strategic, very quick operation on the like lines of
Speaker 7: what President Trump did to bomb the nuclear facilities in
Speaker 7: Iran several months ago, on the long lines, the same
Speaker 7: lines as is what he did in Venezuela, if it
Speaker 7: turns out to be that a quick win a and
Speaker 7: a just a demonstrable win, I think that actually helps
Speaker 7: his approval ratings. If we're still talking seven months from
Speaker 7: now on the eve are actually six now, I guess,
Speaker 7: on the eve of the midterms about what's going on
Speaker 7: in Iran at that point.
Speaker 4: Are there troops on the ground. That could be a
Speaker 4: different story.
Speaker 7: Keep in mind that the oil price has not yet
Speaker 7: hit the gasoline prices in this country, at least it
Speaker 7: just started to today. I think gases up about twenty
Speaker 7: cents of the gaon about ten cents or ten percent.
Speaker 4: That's a big deal here.
Speaker 7: There's a straight line between success and failure in November
Speaker 7: and the price of gasoline when it comes to being
Speaker 7: the incumbent party. So it's too soon to tell, but
Speaker 7: if we're still talking about this war in August, that
Speaker 7: could be a difficult time for the Republicans.
Speaker 2: Mick, thanks so much. And I can report sadly that
Speaker 2: petrol prices here in Australia are already going up. So
Speaker 2: you've got that going for you there at least. Picked Malvady,
Speaker 2: thanks so much for your time. Now stick around because
Speaker 2: after the break we got more on America's grand strategy
Speaker 2: in the war on Iran with Peter Schweitzer. But first
Speaker 2: a little more of our old friend Minnesota Governor Tim
Speaker 2: Waltz on Capitol Hill. Here's Texas Republican Pat Fallon torching
Speaker 2: Waltz over why he was picked as Kamala Harris's running
Speaker 2: mate back in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 9: You know, miss Chairman, I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 9: but it's widely It's been widely reported that in two
Speaker 9: thousand and eight, when Barack Obama was choosing his vice
Speaker 9: presidential candidate, he had three criteria.
Speaker 4: He wanted to make sure he.
Speaker 9: Picked somebody that wasn't as smart as him and had
Speaker 9: less talent and charisma and couldn't possibly outshine him, so
Speaker 9: he picked Joe Biden. And then Joe Biden in twenty
Speaker 9: twenty used the exact same criteria. He wanted to make
Speaker 9: sure he picked somebody went as smart as him, had
Speaker 9: less talent in charisma and went out shine him, and
Speaker 9: he picked Kamal here and then in twenty twenty four, Governor,
Speaker 9: I think is very evident like Kamala Harris picked you.
Speaker 2: I tell you what. That's setting things pretty low, but
Speaker 2: we'll be setting the bar pretty high with Peter Schweitzer
Speaker 2: after the break, welcome back to the program. Now I
Speaker 2: want to bring to light a potentially shocking case of
Speaker 2: foreign interference in the United States. The New York Post
Speaker 2: is reporting that protests, those anti war protests against strikes
Speaker 2: and Iran are being backed by guess who, the Chinese
Speaker 2: Communist Party, at least some of them are. This comes
Speaker 2: after protests across the US. Joining me now to talk
Speaker 2: about this and a lot more from the Government Accountability
Speaker 2: Institute author Peter Schweitzer, Peter, thanks so much for joining me.
Speaker 2: Are we potentially seeing astroturfed opposition to this war by China, which,
Speaker 2: of course has so much to lose if they lose
Speaker 2: Iranian oil supplies that they've been able to buy on
Speaker 2: the cheap.
Speaker 10: Oh, there's no question that China has a lot to lose,
Speaker 10: not just with Iran, but also with what happened in Venezuela.
Speaker 10: Venezuela not as large as Iran in terms of oil supply,
Speaker 10: but also a crucial ally to China. In fifty eight days, basically,
Speaker 10: Donald Trump has taken out two of the most important
Speaker 10: allies of China in the developing world, and one of
Speaker 10: the means in which China is trying to respond to
Speaker 10: this is by activating their networks in the United States
Speaker 10: So you have this American billionaire named Roy Singham, who
Speaker 10: we've talked about on this program before, who is friends
Speaker 10: with the CCP, lives in Shanghai. He's poured more than
Speaker 10: one hundred million dollars into radical groups and causes in
Speaker 10: the United States. He aligned with the CCP. And you
Speaker 10: also have groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation
Speaker 10: PSL and another one in the US called the Freedom
Speaker 10: Road Socialist Organization FRSO that are fraternal political parties with
Speaker 10: the CCP. They're friendly with them, they have pledged their
Speaker 10: allegiance to the CCP. They're the core of the violent
Speaker 10: protests that you see breaking out in the so called
Speaker 10: anti war protests.
Speaker 2: And Peter, when I spoke about the war last week,
Speaker 2: you know, we were talking about how suddenly, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, all of these professional signs suddenly starts showing
Speaker 2: up everywhere. Are these signs and everything, this whole organizational network,
Speaker 2: It seems very professional. It seems to be completely non organic.
Speaker 2: Why does this get charity status? It seems like this
Speaker 2: would be something that the Trump administration could really look
Speaker 2: at as a way to damage this network.
Speaker 10: No, I think you're exactly right, and we've had conversations
Speaker 10: with senior officials in the Treasury Department exactly on this issue.
Speaker 10: The bottom line is a guy named, a guy like
Speaker 10: Roy Singham gets a tax deduction when he donates to
Speaker 10: these radical causes. I would argue, on behalf of China,
Speaker 10: and why are we giving him a tax deduction? Why
Speaker 10: are we giving him nonprofit status when again I would argue,
Speaker 10: he's doing the bidding of a foreign power. There were
Speaker 10: even news reports that he was activating this network even
Speaker 10: before the United States and Israel started bombing Iran, and
Speaker 10: that has given a speculation to the idea that maybe
Speaker 10: the Chinese government, Chinese satellites were aware that military operations
Speaker 10: were commencing, and that's maybe Roy Singham was told about
Speaker 10: it and activated accordingly. So I think the Treasury Department
Speaker 10: is key here because they can take out the reforms necessary.
Speaker 2: Indeed, and of course, you know, it all comes back
Speaker 2: to it all comes back to the importance at China
Speaker 2: places on Iran, because one of the things that we've
Speaker 2: seen here is Chinese technology going into the proving ground
Speaker 2: of battle and actually not doing that great. We've seen
Speaker 2: Chinese ships that were heavily dependent on Chinese technology now
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the ocean. We've seen Chinese air
Speaker 2: defense systems that, as one person said, work by blowing
Speaker 2: up when there's a missile near them. Is this showing
Speaker 2: that the Chinese military maybe a bit more of paper
Speaker 2: tiger than we had thought or feared.
Speaker 10: Yes, absolutely, and I think this is a big concern
Speaker 10: for Beijing. Let's remember Beijing gave to Iran their most
Speaker 10: advanced air defense systems, highly touted. They didn't end up
Speaker 10: doing anything. They didn't shoot down a single American or
Speaker 10: Israeli plane and they were destroyed by the air forces.
Speaker 10: There are intelligence systems that China has set up in
Speaker 10: Iran that didn't work. And this to me is reminiscent
Speaker 10: of what happened during the Cold War. Back in nineteen
Speaker 10: eighty two, the Israeli Air Force and the then Syrian
Speaker 10: Air Force squared off above Lebanon.
Speaker 4: That year.
Speaker 10: The Israelis were flying American F fifteens and the Syrians
Speaker 10: were flying MiG twenty fives. The Israelis won that air
Speaker 10: force that air war by shooting down eighty two MiGs
Speaker 10: without suffering a single casualty. Yes, the pilot training was key,
Speaker 10: but the technology was important as well, but what happened
Speaker 10: after that is the Soviet ability to sell their arms
Speaker 10: and to gain that revenue and to gain a political
Speaker 10: advantage with the country's buying those weapons kind of evaporated,
Speaker 10: because if you're in the developing world, why do you
Speaker 10: want the second best weapon system when you might be
Speaker 10: facing the first weapon systems. So I anticipate that this
Speaker 10: is a major concern for China as it looks to
Speaker 10: trying to sell arms abroad and also use those arm
Speaker 10: sales to advance their political agenda.
Speaker 2: Well, Peter, I would go a step further, and I'd
Speaker 2: love your thoughts on this, But you know, for years now,
Speaker 2: at least a couple of decades, we've seen China more
Speaker 2: and more chauvinistically saying the West is in decline, the
Speaker 2: United States is in decline, China is rising. You want
Speaker 2: to tie up with us because the twenty first century
Speaker 2: will be the Chinese century. Now, this seems to shift
Speaker 2: that narrative quite a bit, and people who watch the
Speaker 2: show know that I have been putting for a long
Speaker 2: time Venezuela Cuba. Now I ran into the context of
Speaker 2: confronting China without confronting China, What do you make of
Speaker 2: that is this the ultimate Trump strategy? And when you
Speaker 2: see things like the news which broke a little while
Speaker 2: ago that China is apparently banning e x force of
Speaker 2: jet fuel and petroleum products, it says to me that
Speaker 2: they may know they've got a real problem here.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think they have a huge problem here. Just
Speaker 10: look at the competition that's taking place in artificial intelligence
Speaker 10: right now, and you would wonder what does this have
Speaker 10: to do with Venezuela in Iran Actually a fair amount,
Speaker 10: because the two big tech infrastructure companies for China that
Speaker 10: are central to the AI race for them are Huawei
Speaker 10: and Zte. These are the big conglomerates that create the
Speaker 10: networks that you need for artificial intelligence networks to work well.
Speaker 10: Both of those companies huge contractors in Venezuela and Iran,
Speaker 10: and they are now looking at losing tens of billions
Speaker 10: of dollars in revenue because they have large projects in
Speaker 10: scale in both of those countries, and guess what, they're
Speaker 10: not going to get paid for them. So the implications
Speaker 10: for China's sort of top down what I call market
Speaker 10: leninist system, which is kind of a blend of the
Speaker 10: market but dictated by Leninist control has now been completely
Speaker 10: thrown into disarray. And what's happened is that the United
Speaker 10: States has picked off two of their biggest allies in
Speaker 10: the developing world, Venezuela and Iran, and China has been
Speaker 10: helpless to do anything about it, any thought that they
Speaker 10: had of retaking Taiwan, for example. They now face the
Speaker 10: dilemma that the United States is in firm control of
Speaker 10: the Straits of Horrormos, and between forty and fifty percent
Speaker 10: of all of China's energy, whether it comes from Iran,
Speaker 10: whether it comes from Saudi Arabia, goes through the states
Speaker 10: of the Straits of horrm Moos. So you could have
Speaker 10: a scenario where China decides to attack Taiwan and the
Speaker 10: United States says, guess what, no oil from this region
Speaker 10: is going to China, and then they are in deep,
Speaker 10: deep trouble. So the amount of leverage that Donald Trump
Speaker 10: now has over China kind of going into what is
Speaker 10: supposed to be a meeting between these two presidents, you know,
Speaker 10: not too far away the entire equation. I think of
Speaker 10: that conversation as shifted to Trump's advantage.
Speaker 2: Do you think though, just coming out of that meeting.
Speaker 2: You know, we know that Trump is a great deal maker.
Speaker 2: You know that he's transactional as well as principled for America.
Speaker 2: Do you see some sort of rapprochemont, maybe some sort
Speaker 2: of datent with China saying, you know, maybe we've bitten
Speaker 2: off more than we can chew. We need to both
Speaker 2: sides calm this down.
Speaker 10: Well, I think that's going to be China's line. I'm
Speaker 10: skeptical about negotiating solutions with China because they don't honor them.
Speaker 10: You know, Trump negotiated the purchase of American agricultural products,
Speaker 10: a whole bunch of agreements with China in his first term.
Speaker 10: China didn't honor any of them. China said they were
Speaker 10: going to deal with precursor chemicals and the Chinese industrial
Speaker 10: involvement in fentanyl, any of that. That was back in
Speaker 10: twenty seventeen. So I don't see any evidence that when
Speaker 10: China says, hey, let's make a deal, let's stick to
Speaker 10: that deal, I don't see any evidence that they are
Speaker 10: going to do so. So my advice to Donald Trump,
Speaker 10: of course he's not asking for it, would be to
Speaker 10: be skeptical of any proposed deal by China and continue
Speaker 10: with an assertive form policy that does not directly challenge China,
Speaker 10: but continues in this competition between the two powers to
Speaker 10: take the initiative and to take advantage of what is
Speaker 10: China's clear vulnerability and weakness in this economic space. We
Speaker 10: started the year by them threatening with rare earth minerals.
Speaker 10: We are now in the scenario where they have a
Speaker 10: deep vulnerability when it comes to energy. We've talked about
Speaker 10: oil gret to remember they import a lot of coal
Speaker 10: from Iraq, and that coal is what they use to
Speaker 10: fuel their data centers for AIS. So they've got major
Speaker 10: vulnerabilities in ways that we haven't even fully appreciated.
Speaker 2: Right now, Peter Schweizer, I think you're absolutely correct. Love
Speaker 2: having you on the program. Thank you so much for
Speaker 2: joining me and everybody out there go find Peter Schweizer's
Speaker 2: books and everything else online. Now stick around, because shortly
Speaker 2: we're going to have a look at why the mainstream
Speaker 2: media continues to remain so distrusted in the US. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're not going to believe this one. But first I
Speaker 2: think we ought to have a little check in with
Speaker 2: our favorite based Democrat John Fetterbin here talking about what
Speaker 2: else the war and how he reckons it's going the top.
Speaker 7: Fifty five of them were killed, and I think they
Speaker 7: just blew up eighty of the random's mole eyes too.
Speaker 4: I mean that was pretty great actually.
Speaker 2: So all right, can you imagine this guy's reaction to
Speaker 2: that footage of the Iranian battleship being torpedoed? Kick this
Speaker 2: guy in the Republicans, I don't care about the hoodie.
Speaker 2: Stick around. Because author Elizabeth Pipko is with us. After
Speaker 2: the break, welcome back to the program. Now, I want
Speaker 2: to have a little chat about the US mainstream media's
Speaker 2: reporting of these strikes in Iran. We've touched on the
Speaker 2: failing Washington Post's effort to push this narrative that Trump's
Speaker 2: needs to be stopped, and White House Press Secretary Carol
Speaker 2: Levitt has delivered a brutal takedown of CNN anchor Katherine
Speaker 2: Collins after she ranted about the criticism of the media coverage.
Speaker 2: Just take a look.
Speaker 11: But these maxp was complaining that it was front page
Speaker 11: news about these six service members who were killed.
Speaker 12: If that's not what the secretary said, Caitlin, And that's
Speaker 12: not what the secretary meant, and you know it, you
Speaker 12: know you're being disingenuous.
Speaker 11: There is not. We've never had.
Speaker 12: A secretary of Defense who cares yours.
Speaker 11: To get through where tragic things happen. It's front page news.
Speaker 11: I get it. The press only wants to make the
Speaker 11: president look bad. Yes, you know, the president dots of
Speaker 11: you a service members.
Speaker 12: Under every president, the presses only want to make the
Speaker 12: president look bad. That's a fact. Especially listen to me,
Speaker 12: especially you, and especially CNN, and the Secretary of Defense
Speaker 12: cares deeply about our war fighters and our men and
Speaker 12: women in uniform. He travels all across this country to
Speaker 12: meet with them, to connect with them, and your network
Speaker 12: has hardly ever probably reported on that.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Joining me now to discuss this and a whole lot
Speaker 2: more is former Republican Nationally Committee spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipkow. Elizabeth,
Speaker 2: welcome to the program. Great to have you here. Isn't
Speaker 2: any wonder that people in the US just don't trust
Speaker 2: the mainstream media when we see some of the performances
Speaker 2: we've seen over the last week.
Speaker 13: I'm glad you mentioned the last week, because I don't
Speaker 13: think we'd have time in this segment to discuss the
Speaker 13: performances that I've seen from the mainstream media over the
Speaker 13: last ten years, right, because since Donald Trump first announced
Speaker 13: that he was running for office back in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 13: the media decided they were going to be basically activists
Speaker 13: and not journalists anymore. They were going to spit in
Speaker 13: the faces of the American people, basically claiming that they
Speaker 13: were telling the news, when in reality they were giving
Speaker 13: their own biased opinions on Donald Trump, trying to sway
Speaker 13: the sentiment in our own country, trying to tip people
Speaker 13: into their direction before they had to vote in national elections,
Speaker 13: and deciding that they were doing the right thing. And
Speaker 13: I'm sick of it, but I know more than me,
Speaker 13: the majority of the American public is sick of it,
Speaker 13: whether they're Democrats or Republicans, because.
Speaker 11: This is not what we want our journalists to be doing.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think you're exactly right, Elizabeth, And
Speaker 2: I think one of the great founding myths that we've
Speaker 2: had has created this problem is the whole Watergate myth,
Speaker 2: where journalists think that they are players. And there was
Speaker 2: a story this week that again Pentagon journalists have been
Speaker 2: upset about not getting access to you know, different people
Speaker 2: and things and so on. But to me, This whole
Speaker 2: controversy is all about journalists thinking their egos are more
Speaker 2: important than national security or the lives of American servicemen.
Speaker 2: I'd love your thoughts on that.
Speaker 13: No, I one hundred percent agree. I think when it
Speaker 13: comes to the Pentagon, when it comes to the kind
Speaker 13: of sensitive materials that are being passed around and discussed there,
Speaker 13: you cannot risk journalists being in the building who are
Speaker 13: too busy trying to appeal to their base, trying to
Speaker 13: go viral on Twitter, even risking sharing classified information, something
Speaker 13: I know members of this administration have had to worry
Speaker 13: about when it comes to members of the media.
Speaker 11: We can't afford that as a nation. We can't afford it.
Speaker 13: When it comes to what we're dealing with globally right now,
Speaker 13: we can't afford it. Based on what we're dealing with
Speaker 13: with Gaza, with Ukraine, now with Iran, there's too much
Speaker 13: sensitive information going around. American lives or at risk, the
Speaker 13: lives of our allies are at risk, and unfortunately, these
Speaker 13: so called journalists have proven themselves to be not trustworthy
Speaker 13: over the last ten years. And of course we want
Speaker 13: to give everyone access in this country. We defend our
Speaker 13: First Amendment at every opportunity that we have. Donald Trump
Speaker 13: himself has done that. We know how the media has
Speaker 13: treated him, and he repeatedly tries to answer their questions.
Speaker 13: He tries to give as much information as possible, He
Speaker 13: tries to be available as much as possible, something we
Speaker 13: certainly did not see from our last president here. But
Speaker 13: at the same time, we have to remember that when
Speaker 13: there's important information at play, when there's important movement being made,
Speaker 13: when decisions have to be made at the same time
Speaker 13: and you can't trust people, we have to make the
Speaker 13: kind of decisions that will keep American lives safe and
Speaker 13: not try to keep these egos you know, happy.
Speaker 2: Well, you know it is all about egos. And I
Speaker 2: have been stunned to see, kind of heartened to see, frankly,
Speaker 2: that the Department of Justice has announced thirty more people
Speaker 2: being charged over those anti ice protests in Minnesota a
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. And I know that seems like ages
Speaker 2: ago with everything else that's happened in the last month,
Speaker 2: but thirty more people in Minnesota have been charged, including
Speaker 2: of course, this is the protests that led to see
Speaker 2: it an anchor, former anchor Don Lemon, being charged.
Speaker 4: We're here we're here to worship Jesus. That's while we're here.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's while we're here. Hopefully that's what we're about.
Speaker 1: What do you think Jesus would be understanding?
Speaker 8: We're about these We're about spraying the love of Jesus.
Speaker 2: We have a more ego obsessed journalist I put those
Speaker 2: words in quotes than this guy.
Speaker 11: I'm glad you said that so I didn't have to.
Speaker 13: I have not thought of Don Leman as a journalist
Speaker 13: in quite some time.
Speaker 11: But look, this is the United States of America. It's
Speaker 11: twenty twenty six. Nobody wants to see this.
Speaker 13: And the fact that we're so divided that people think
Speaker 13: this is a good idea and appropriate thing to do.
Speaker 13: I think it's just really a sign of the times
Speaker 13: right now. I don't think it's right, obviously, but it's
Speaker 13: also illegal. The First Amendment does not give you the
Speaker 13: right to storm into a church, try to intimidate families,
Speaker 13: or obstruct people trying to practice their freedom of religion.
Speaker 13: That's not what we believe, and it's not legal in
Speaker 13: our country. And I just wish more people would realize
Speaker 13: that when they think that they're fighting as activists, what
Speaker 13: they're really doing is embarrassing themselves and demeaning us as
Speaker 13: a nation. This was so unnecessary. Shame on Don Lemon
Speaker 13: honestly for thinking this was a good idea. But for
Speaker 13: the folks that followed him, I hope they realize he
Speaker 13: was doing it for clicks. I don't know what it
Speaker 13: was that they were doing it for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean it's called clicks, not social justice there.
Speaker 2: But hey, finally, before I let you go to I
Speaker 2: want to talk about a little bit of foreign policy
Speaker 2: here in the fallout between Donald Trump and British Prime
Speaker 2: Minister Keir Starmer. Now, Trump has rightfully, I think given
Speaker 2: Keir Starmer quite a serve over the British special lives
Speaker 2: being allowed to a special relationship, being allowed to fall
Speaker 2: apart under Starmer. Have listened to this.
Speaker 6: I'm not happy with the UK either. That island that
Speaker 6: you read about the lease, Okay, he made it for
Speaker 6: whatever reason, he made a lease of the island. Somebody
Speaker 6: came and took it away from him, and it's taken
Speaker 6: three or four days for us to work out where
Speaker 6: we can land there. Would have been much more convenient
Speaker 6: landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours. So
Speaker 6: we are very surprised. This is not Winston Churchill that
Speaker 6: we're dealing.
Speaker 2: With, you know, Elizabeth, I think invoking Winston Churchill here
Speaker 2: that is the big one here. I'm just worried though,
Speaker 2: that the great special relationship between Britain and the the
Speaker 2: US now is starting to crack apart. Is that what
Speaker 2: the sense is now in Washington?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 13: I think when it comes to President Trump, those of
Speaker 13: us that know him, those of us that have worked
Speaker 13: with him over the years, we know that he does
Speaker 13: not care much about these relationships that he has. He
Speaker 13: knows what it means to be insulted by a lot
Speaker 13: of these foreign leaders, to be laughed at, to be
Speaker 13: mocked because a bunch of these guys want to do
Speaker 13: this so that they can score some points with they're
Speaker 13: base in their own individual countries, not because they actually
Speaker 13: think it's a good idea for the relationship that they
Speaker 13: share with the United States of America. So I've seen
Speaker 13: President Trump work with everybody. It doesn't matter who they are,
Speaker 13: what kind of jokes they've made about him in the past.
Speaker 13: He understands exactly what they're doing. And I worry less
Speaker 13: about the relationship and more for the people that have
Speaker 13: to be led by Starmer for the next two years,
Speaker 13: who know that he is not the leader that they want.
Speaker 13: Certainly he's not a Winston Churchill and never will be.
Speaker 13: But more importantly, what's going to happen to an ally
Speaker 13: of ours.
Speaker 11: When that is the kind of leadership that they, unfortunately
Speaker 11: have signed up for.
Speaker 2: Well, ye know, I think you're right there, Elizabeth. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for joining me on the usport. Really appreciate.
Speaker 2: We'll have you back real soon. Now, don't go away
Speaker 2: because your favorite only in America is coming up real soon.
Speaker 2: But first, how about a little bit of the wited
Speaker 2: wisdom of Louisiana. Senator John Kennedy here talking about Ilhan
Speaker 2: Omar and the Ayahtola.
Speaker 14: In the words of Congresswoman Omar, I love you like
Speaker 14: a brother, and I want you to understand I'm not
Speaker 14: trying to dodge your question.
Speaker 15: I just want to answer it in a little different way.
Speaker 15: I don't hate anyone, but I will shed no tears
Speaker 15: for the Hyah tool. Commenee, he won the corn toss
Speaker 15: and he elected to receive, and boy did he receive.
Speaker 15: May he rest in pieces.
Speaker 2: Like a brother? Yes, Senator, I see what you did
Speaker 2: there stick around because Only in America is next. Welcome
Speaker 2: back to the program, and now it's time for a
Speaker 2: little segment we.
Speaker 1: Like to call only in America.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they say politicians are a bunch of muppets,
Speaker 2: and in this case they are right. Yes, here's proof, Trump,
Speaker 2: Net and Yahoo, all of them muppets.
Speaker 1: Maybe we got a problem. We might have to stop
Speaker 1: the warts. What but we've already been I know, man,
Speaker 1: I know, but something happened that we did not anticipate.
Speaker 1: Well huh, we've infiltrated every single aspect of it because
Speaker 1: they waited days to do it. Man, days. They really
Speaker 1: good as snapping this time.
Speaker 4: Talk to me.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to say this, baby, but there's
Speaker 1: been a statement of utmost concerned from the Europeans. Those
Speaker 1: bottle tops better be attached to the missiles Donalds. They're like,
Speaker 1: miss your president, you violated the AYAD data privacy. Your
Speaker 1: aircraft carriers are rated C minus for energy efficiency. I'm screaming, boy.
Speaker 1: We could go on for weeks like this. We were
Speaker 1: weeks and weekshand weeks and weekshand ah.
Speaker 2: Yes, the violated of the IETOLAS data privacy. That was
Speaker 2: G zero media with their very good and apparently new
Speaker 2: satire puppet regime. Anyway, that's all the time we've got
Speaker 2: for this week. Don't be a muppet. Come back next
Speaker 2: week for more US support, and I'll see up bright
Speaker 2: and early Sunday for outsiders. Bye bye,
