24
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: have a friend at church. This just happened. This week.

25
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: He just texted me today to Chris, thank you for

26
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: sending me to John and his team. I called, he's

27
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: in between jobs right now. And one of the biggest

28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: stressors they had was how are we going to afford

29
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: buying our own health insurance when we're down to one

30
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: income in the house right now? And I said, you've

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: got to call John and his team, and they did,

32
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: and they were so relieved that they were actually able

33
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: to get insurance for their family of four without stressing

34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: or paying some exorbitant sum of money for a Cobra plan.

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: This is the second friend in between jobs who has

36
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: saved hundreds literally hundreds of dollars a month. My parents, seniors,

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: and my step parents also seniors. All four of them

38
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: have saved each hundreds of dollars a month with their

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: supplemental health insurance plan with Medicare because they reached out

52
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: you'll join the podcast too, and I'll tell you what

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: you Apple podcast people, I continue to say my apologies

54
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: to you. There was a huge people think that the

55
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: Apple folks have sandbagged the shows fast Eddie Day. I

56
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: had people reaching out yesterday and said, you know, stickah,

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: this has not been a problem with every show. Apple

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: seemed to have uniquely shipped yours. And I can't confirm

59
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: or deny that, but I will say that the Apple

60
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: people have certainly blown a hole in the side of

61
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: the boat. For the last few days. There were some

62
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: problems with that thing. So people that listen to the

63
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 1: show later on Apple it was not automatically uploading. It's

64
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: been fixed, but you have to, like I think, physically

65
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: going there in monkey with it. And so I was

66
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: looking at some of the data points I don't know.

67
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: We might have a Tim Cook insurgency on our hands here.

68
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't know.

69
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 4: I think so, Chris, you could you consistently crack the

70
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: top forty across the country. We're not just talking in

71
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: one category, so they're gunning for you, man.

72
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: It's true. It's true. We've had strong success with the podcast,

73
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: particularly over to Apple, so I don't know. I'll keep

74
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: watch on it. But anyway, my apologies for those of

75
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: you that listen that way. If you don't, you know,

76
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: and if you don't yet subscribe to the podcast. You know,

77
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: if you listen to the show live every day on

78
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: your favorite radio station, or you watch it on the

79
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: Salem News channel, maybe you miss it and you want

80
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: to get caught up. Subscribe to the Christigall Show podcast.

81
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: That's always helpful. And specifically you Apple people, if you

82
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: don't mind, because now I've got to do some triage

83
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: over there. I hate doing this, but this is the

84
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: world we're in. If you don't mind, If you're an

85
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: Apple podcast listener, could you give us a five star

86
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: review and a written review. That would help as now

87
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: we've got to apparently figure out how to recoup our

88
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: losses over the last few days now that Apple has

89
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: blown a hole in our tire. All right, no hill

90
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: for a step or other ways to get it to

91
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: of course, you can go to Spotify or always you

92
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: can watch on YouTube or right there from s and

93
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: seed dot tv. Lots of ways to get the show.

94
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: Hope that you will join us. I will say that,

95
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: for all the talk about various countries or businesses that

96
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: have influence on Capitol Hill, do you think anybody really

97
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: stops to have a long conversation about the influence of

98
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: big Pharma on Capitol Hill these days? For real? Do

99
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: you think there's a substantive, genuine conversation about the influence

100
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: of big farm on Capitol Hill? I don't think so.

101
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: For some reason, they continue to skate. And I think

102
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: it's because, by and large now people complain about Big

103
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: Farmer when they talk about prices. But this has always

104
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 1: puzzled me. Why do you think big Pharma never gets

105
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: dinged for influencing lawmakers on Capitol Hill or others? Just

106
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: for consumption culture? What do I mean by that? I

107
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: mean you and me just popping pills and taking drugs

108
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: whatever commercial comes on the air, injected take swallow it,

109
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, and then they list one thousand side effects,

110
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: but ask your doctor about filling the blank. We never

111
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: talk about their influence. And I got to tell you something.

112
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of stories today that just lead

113
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: me to believe and conclude that that's exactly what we're

114
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: dealing with here. A federal judge yesterday blocked RFK Junior

115
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: from carrying out changes to the shot schedule recommended by

116
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: his advisory committee, a dramatic overhaul of the child shot schedule.

117
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: The injunction from you, would you please fast eddy head

118
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: to the Google machine and look up US District Court

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Judge Brian Murphy, just because I'm curious. That's a nice

120
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: irishman's name for Saint Patrick's day. US District Court Judge

121
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Brian Murphy. No race on that, but if you get

122
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: a second, I'd just like to know his background. The

123
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: injunction is from this US District Court Judge Brian Murphy.

124
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: It's another blow to Kennedy's efforts to overhaul federal shot

125
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: policy at a time when the White House is seeking

126
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: to limit critics' influence within the administration. It doesn't explicitly

127
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: prevent the panel from holding a schedule meeting this week. Well,

128
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: thank you for that. I didn't realize a judge could

129
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: order members of the executive couldn't have a meeting. It's

130
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: a weird thing to write. Axios just wrote that in

131
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: a story. The order doesn't explicitly prevent the panel from

132
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: holding a meeting, beg your pardon, but says that the

133
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: advisor's appointments and any votes on further policy changes have

134
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: been stayed. So they can meet and they can talk,

135
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: but they can't do anything. They can't vote, and they

136
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: can't change any policy. The Department of Health and Human

137
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: Services told Axios the meeting is set to take place

138
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and now they're going

139
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: to postpone it because of this judge's ruling. What do

140
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: we know about Judge Murphy a good Irish name on

141
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: this Tuesday, Saint Patrick's day.

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 4: Fast at a young guy born in nineteen seventy nine.

143
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: But he was appointed by the Honorable Joe Biden up

144
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: there in Massachusetts.

145
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: Or on a Massachusetts Biden appointe no less, yes, I see,

146
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: Well that's shocking. Wrote that the vaccine policy changes should

147
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: be paused because AJHS likely violated administrative procedure. It is

148
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: also likely that Kennedy's advisory committee doesn't comply with federal law.

149
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: He wrote, I see the decision came in response to

150
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: a request from who who? Who do you think took

151
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: this up in court? You want to guess the American

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: Academy of Pediatrics and other medical associations asking the US

153
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: District Court judge to halt any new shot recommendations, including

154
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: the administration's cuts to a number of recommended childhood shots.

155
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: This is an article of faith. I'm just gonna to

156
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: be completely candid with you here. I think that this

157
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: shot thing vaccines generally. While I am not anti vaxi,

158
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not Isn't it strange that a judge gets

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: to weigh in on health policy fast Eddie? Does that strange?

160
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean you have a young child, and again, I'm

161
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: not suggesting you should or should in vaccinate m or

162
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, you do whatever you want to do as

163
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: a parent with the advice of your medical practitioners. But

164
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: is it fair to say do you think it's inaccurate

165
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: to say that there's a serious question surrounding the scheduled

166
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: shots we've been giving kids, the volume of shots we've

167
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: been giving kids, the necessity of all of the shots

168
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: we've been giving kids. Would you say there's a question

169
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: around it, or maybe you would say there is not.

170
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: And if you're saying there's not, I'm willing to hear

171
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: that too.

172
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: No, I would say, in though, obviously since COVID there's

173
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 4: there's definitely been a larger question nationwide on this, of course.

174
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you I mean, have you your son is

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: young minor old now, but you're is young enough that

176
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: I think you'll probably be talking about this maybe one

177
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: more time. I don't exactly know the shots schedule for

178
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: young kids anymore. But have you had this conversation with yourself?

179
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: Have you thought to yourself? I don't know, maybe have

180
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: you talked to a doctor about it or no? Or

181
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: you just kind of go with whatever's recommended.

182
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 4: No, I mean, was so, what was it the measles, mumps, rubella?

183
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 4: Like I did that?

184
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: I did the normal panel.

185
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 4: As far as I can tell, they did try to

186
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 4: push the COVID shot on him though when he was young,

187
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: and I was just like, oh, hell no. But other

188
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: than that, I don't really know about the other ones.

189
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: Well, when you heard, for instance, maybe we shouldn't give

190
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: them all the shots at one time. Maybe we should

191
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: spread it out instead of doing all at once. How

192
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: did that register with you or did it? Maybe it didn't,

193
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: it didn't. I didn't. I can't say that it did.

194
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 4: I didn't really hear about the hepatitis B one specifically,

195
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 4: that's the one you.

196
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: Know that's been hot the past year.

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: I didn't specifically hear about that until the Trump administration

198
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: started speaking about it.

199
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I guess my broader question is And again,

200
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't have young children, so I can't speak to

201
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: it anymore. I I wish that there was a national

202
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: conversation about it when my children were getting these shots,

203
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: is all I'm saying. I wish there was a national

204
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: conversation about it, because I think it's a worthwhile conversation

205
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: to have. And it isn't as though this is a

206
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: group of people ed that are telling you go get

207
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: more shots. We need to ramp up the shots. We

208
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: need twice as many shots. They're saying, maybe we should

209
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: pause and reflect on this a little bit. Maybe there's

210
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: some questions about whether they're all necessary or not. Maybe

211
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: we don't need to do them all at once. And

212
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: for this, a judge weighs in and says, Nope, shut

213
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: it down. Ignore it. You guys can't meet. Ignore everything

214
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: they said, because the American Academy of Pediatrics has weighed in.

215
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: And while I acknowledge that RFK Junior is not a doctor,

216
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: I just find it strange that here's a guy who

217
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: seems really consumed with people's welfare and health and making

218
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: America healthy again, and an influential group of pediatricians and

219
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: a judge in Massachusetts can come in and ride heard

220
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: over this health organization appointed by our president, an executive

221
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: branch who've studied this stuff, and by the way, full

222
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: of many doctors like Jay Badacharia, doctor Oz, doctor Marty McCarey.

223
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: They've said, I think we should pause this thing. I

224
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: think we should look at this. I think we should

225
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: recommend that. And a judge says no, a judge, Judge

226
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Murphy from Massachusetts, a Biden appointee. And I just asked myself,

227
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: when I see stories like this, should we have a

228
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: question about who Judge Murphy is and what influences him exactly?

229
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: Do we want to talk about the American Academy of

230
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Pediatrics in their record. I mean, that's an organization that

231
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: for a while was rubber stamping mutilating children on behalf

232
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: of gender affirming care, right. I mean, they went right

233
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: along with that. I didn't remember a judge stepping in

234
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: when we had admiral doctor who was neither a nor

235
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Rachel admiral doctor Rachel Levine, neither an admiral nor Riechel.

236
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember him pretending to be a woman in

237
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: an admiral's costume. Everything that that guy recommended in an

238
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: admiral's costume, pretending to be a woman. Everybody went blindly

239
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: right along with it. No judges stepped in to stop him.

240
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Her bugs me ed, you know what I'm saying, bugs

241
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: me a lot. I don't think judges should have this

242
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: kind of control. I mean, if they're going to stay

243
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: out when Richard Levine is dressing up in a skirt,

244
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: feels like they ought to butt out. If we're saying,

245
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: let's pause and review what we're injecting in kids, he's

246
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: not even pushing anything on kids. New He's saying, let's

247
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: pause and back up a little bit. That seems inherently

248
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: reasonable to me for the nation children.

249
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 4: No, I agree, but we're wiser now, so there is

250
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: a doctor in a Rachel again, let's do the same thing.

251
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: And of course Axios is out today too with a

252
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: poll that says six and ten Americans just trump Trump

253
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: vaccine policies. I don't know. It just seems to me

254
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: like big Pharma is at work here on Saint Patti's Day,

255
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. I'm just saying, if a judge can

256
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: stop people that are hired to advise the medical community,

257
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: then what the hell do we have an advisory panel

258
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: to advise the medical community over? Why do it? I mean,

259
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: if the medical community is so sacrosanct and so smart

260
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: and so on high that we can't touch them or

261
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: correct them in any way, then why have an advisory

262
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: panel at all? If a judge can come in and

263
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: just you surp it, That's all I'm asking. I'm sincere

264
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: about that, But whatever you feel about any health issue,

265
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: like why do we have it? Why have health in

266
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: human services at all?

267
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: Ed?

268
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what's the point if

269
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: a judge can just say no you. I have listened

270
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: to the American Medical Association's statements and they don't like

271
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: what you've decided, so you can't govern? Says a judge. Okay, well,

272
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: then how's the point of having health in human services

273
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: at all? Right? Yeah?

274
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: No, And I agree with you, Chris, And that's what

275
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I think we're all the wiser now now.

276
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: You know, at COVID we didn't know what the heck

277
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: to do. There's just a bunch of people like doctor

278
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: Fauci telling us what to do.

279
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: Now.

280
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: It's just like, okay, so can we have some judges

281
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: now that intervene on our behalf?

282
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, And that's obviously the bigger point

283
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: is that government agencies exist only to protect big pharma

284
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: and protect the medical establishment. For once, you actually had

285
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: some governing officials who were interested in the consumer, the

286
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: end user, instead of the industry of medicine. And that's

287
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: what this judge didn't like. And it wouldn't surprise me

288
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: if we find out that Judge Murphy has deep, deep pockets.

289
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: That's all. I'll just leave it at that. I can't

290
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: confirm that. I don't even know that, but that's just

291
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: a hunch. Hi, Ken, good morning, you're there.

292
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 7: I'm here, Chris. How are you.

293
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm well, sir, Thank you? What's on your mind today?

294
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 7: Well, I just wanted to let you guys know that

295
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 7: when you look up Judge Murphy, you are going to

296
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 7: find out that he is one of the several that's

297
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 7: always putting these nationwide injunctions and he did I don't

298
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 7: know about three, but I'm pretty sure he did at

299
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 7: least two in last year at twenty twenty five against

300
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 7: the Trump administration. And so I call him kind of

301
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 7: like as soon as you said his name, I look

302
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,479
Speaker 7: at him like many Boseberg.

303
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 8: You know, I.

304
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 7: Always always strangely picked somehow he seems to be, you know,

305
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 7: in the rotation too many times, and then you know,

306
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 7: and so it's one of those kinds. I have no

307
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 7: idea about his deep pockets or money in his pockets,

308
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 7: but I do know that he does not like Trump,

309
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 7: and he's one of these go to judges. And again

310
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 7: speaking of Boseburg, of course, we heard of him again

311
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 7: this past weekend with Gene Piro and all of that mess.

312
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 7: And so these guys, and I'm pretty discouraged that the

313
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 7: Republican Republicans don't do something about this with these district judges.

314
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 7: They just gum up the works and that's all there.

315
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 7: They know they're going to get shot down. But they

316
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 7: come along and they come up the works, and it's

317
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 7: none of their damn business. Actually, So anyway, that's my comment.

318
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 7: Happy Saint Patrick's state.

319
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Chris, and to you Ken, thank you so much. Beautifully said,

320
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I can't add anything, you know. President Trump yesterday canceled

321
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: the licenses of two hundred thousand illegal Well, I shouldn't

322
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: say illegal, I'll say immigrant truck drivers, immigrant truckers. Two

323
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: hundred thousand licenses canceled. I'll bet you a judge ways

324
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: in and stops that too. I mean, why do we

325
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: have an executive if judges can just come in and

326
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: overrule moren a minute. President Trump yesterday was asked about

327
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: the Strait of Horn Moves and how things are going

328
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: there and is he getting buy in from other nations,

329
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: and well, here was some of what he had to

330
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: say about some phone calls that he's been having with

331
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: other countries. Number sixty nine to get us started here.

332
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 9: I have that from a number of them, and I'd

333
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 9: like to say their names, but frankly, I don't know

334
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 9: if they would want me to or not, because maybe

335
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 9: they don't want to be targeted. But I say it

336
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 9: wouldn't matter if you targeted or not, because this is

337
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 9: a paper tiger that we're dealing with now. It wasn't

338
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 9: a paper tiger two weeks ago. It's a paper tiger now.

339
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: And then he went on to say, in terms of

340
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: getting help with the straight of horror moves at number seventy,

341
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: getting there not yet.

342
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 9: It's interesting, I'm almost doing it in some cases, not

343
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 9: because we need them, but because.

344
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: I want to find out how they react.

345
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 9: Because I've been saying for years that if we ever

346
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 9: did need them, they won't be there.

347
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: Not all of them, but they won't be there.

348
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 9: I was very surprised with the United Kingdom because the

349
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 9: United Kingdom two weeks ago, I said, why don't you

350
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 9: send some ships over? And he really didn't want to

351
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 9: do it.

352
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: I said, you don't want to do it. We've been

353
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: with you a Y're our oldest.

354
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 9: Ally, and we spend a lot of money on NATO

355
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 9: and all of these things to protect you.

356
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we're protecting them. We're working with them on Ukraine.

357
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 9: Ukraine's thousands of miles away, separated by.

358
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: A vast ocean. We don't have to do that, but

359
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: we did it. Now. President Trump was supposed to have

360
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: a meeting with China here soon, and they have postponed

361
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: that for another month. And I think that's really interesting too.

362
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: Not to say he can't walk in chew gum at

363
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: the same time, but they very specifically decided to wave

364
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: off a meeting with China. I think that's really interesting

365
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: and we should keep a sharp eye on that. I

366
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: have seen some pauseit that that could mean that this

367
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: could be some kind of strategic realignment where we strengthen

368
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: the western hemisphere and sort of back out of the

369
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Eastern hemisphere, as somebody actually said very interestingly, that are

370
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: sort of still cold war stands with Russia and China.

371
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Maybe President Trump is trying to unwind that a little

372
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: bit with the moves he's making here in Iran. Maybe

373
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sophisticated enough in geopolitics to

374
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: know whether that's so or not, but it is very

375
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: very interesting, particularly with what we see him not only

376
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: leaning on NATO allies and forcing them to not only

377
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: pay up, but maybe some suspected he may just say

378
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: to hell with you. You know what, I went at

379
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: this alone. I tackled this scourge and Iran by myself.

380
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: You people aren't helping US reopen the straight of Hormus.

381
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: Screw you. The UK had to come out yesterday and say, well,

382
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: we don't really want to send any help there, but

383
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: we know we're going to kind of need the straight open.

384
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: So maybe we're at a place where we're going to

385
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: have to listen. There are those that think the President

386
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: is still keeping options on the table to just withdraw

387
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: from NATO entirely. And the guy that runs NATO really

388
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: likes him, That's the guy that calls him daddy all

389
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: the time. I think, trying to keep him happy because

390
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: he knows Trump's a bit of a wild car. I

391
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: don't know, but Trump is clearly holding the cards here.

392
00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: People know he's rolling internationally this situation with Cuba. I'll

393
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: get into that in just a second, but here's the

394
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: story from the Washington Times. World leaders on Monday rebuffing

395
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: President Trump's demand that US allies commit warships to reopen

396
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz, with key partners offering non committal

397
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: statements or outright refusals. Trump took the truth social over

398
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: the weekend, as you know, calling China, Britain, France, Japan,

399
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: South Korea calling on them to join the US Navy

400
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: and reopening the strait, which Iran has effectively closed since

401
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: early March, and retaliation for air strikes. At least twenty

402
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: percent of the world's oil passes through the waterway each year.

403
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: The responses were underwhelming. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said

404
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: the government would not be drawn into a wider war. Well,

405
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: they said that Saturday, but then all of a sudden

406
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: they said, well we can't have this straight stay closed.

407
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: Also this carg Island situation. Again, I'm not a military strategist,

408
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: but I am starting to hear and I was listening

409
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: to some pretty smart people yesterday say deploying some marines

410
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: that there's a belief that perhaps this carg Island, which

411
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: is a strategic importance there in the waters off Iran,

412
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: that is relatively uninhabited. So there's talk and I don't know,

413
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: how do you think people would feel about that if

414
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: we have a I don't know if you want to

415
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: call it a mini ground presence on carg Island. Do

416
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: you think that becomes a different matter, fast Eddie, do

417
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: you think the public reacts if President Trump ends up

418
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: putting some presence, some boots on the ground in this

419
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: car Island effectively controlling what is the It's effectively taking

420
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: over the port, their busiest port, their busiest hub of

421
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: business for all their oil exports. How would you feel

422
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: about military presence on the ground on an island.

423
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 4: I mean, if it gets the straight open and commerce

424
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: is flowing freely, fine, But I mean if it gets attacked,

425
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: that that's not going to be just not going to

426
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 4: do well.

427
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: If we lose soldiers, going to be bad. I mean,

428
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: I got a post here on ex Colin messaged me today.

429
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: He said, Chris gas is up to three ninety nine

430
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood. It was two ninety nine a month ago.

431
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: Now Trump wants NATO to help with Hormoz after alienating them.

432
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: He's mad about that, He says, how is this helping

433
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: the middle class? Didn't we used to be an energy exporter?

434
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: Aren't we drilling for fuel? Here? We are? President Trump

435
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: has actually he's invoked the War Powers Act to start

436
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: drilling off the coast of California as quickly as possible.

437
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: He's opening the strategic oil reserves. Now again, you can't

438
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: immediately impact the global market simply by declaring more drilling happening,

439
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: or even opening the reserves, so it takes a little

440
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: bit for oil to get to market. It doesn't happen

441
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: like a light switch. President Trump said, though, look, I

442
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: know this is not politically popular, and I know it's

443
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: going to tick some people off. But I'm telling you,

444
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: these people were close to having a nuke. I'm telling

445
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: you they were going to act soon, and if I didn't,

446
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: they were going to I had to do what was right.

447
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: That's what he said this weekend, Colin. And that may

448
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: not be satisfactory to you. I'm not I'm not here

449
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: to spin it or make try to make you feel

450
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: better about paying three ninety nine for gas instead of

451
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: two ninety nine for gas. You know, and I know

452
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: people are feeling it. Yeah, We're not where we want

453
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: to be economically, and so I'm certainly not dismissing the

454
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: cost of filling up your tank at the pump when

455
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: things are already stretched. But President Trump said, I had

456
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: a decision to make, and I made that decision despite

457
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: what I know would would make people unhappy in the

458
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: short term. But he says it's going to be short term. Again,

459
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: I tend to trust Donald Trump. I trust the Energy secretary.

460
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: They say it's going to take a bit. It'll be

461
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: a few ticks, maybe a couple three weeks or more,

462
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: but we'll get back. I believe he means it when

463
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: he said he felt he had to act despite what

464
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: they knew would be issues with the strait. They knew that.

465
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: I mean, the admiral said that over the weekend. We

466
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: weren't blindsided by this. We had a conversation about it.

467
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: We were well versed in what it would mean if

468
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: we did this, but the President felt we needed to.

469
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: And I that's all I can say to you about

470
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: it is he had information that I wasn't privy to

471
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: that I trust that he said he had to do it.

472
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: Sure, No, I agree that the problem is like it

473
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 4: takes two weeks to bring gas up a dollar at

474
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 4: a dollar per gallon. And now, yes, if we're going

475
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 4: to start drilling, like should some of this stuff have

476
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: been in place already before we shut something like a

477
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 4: straight off a moose?

478
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we know. It's tough as to whether or not

479
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: Vice President Vance disagrees with the President. Here he addressed this.

480
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: It came up he and Stephen Miller and some other

481
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: principles were in the oval with the President. Number seventy one.

482
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Here here's the Vice President answering this question about Iran.

483
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: I know what you're trying to do.

484
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: You're trying to drive a wedge between members of the administration,

485
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 3: between me and the president. And what the President said

486
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: consistently going back to twenty fifteen, and I agreed with him,

487
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: is that a Ran.

488
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: Should not have nuclear weapon.

489
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: We have taken this military action under the President's leadership.

490
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 10: I think all of us, whether.

491
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 3: You're a Democrat or Republican, should pray for a success

492
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 3: and pray for the safety of our troops.

493
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: That's the approach that I've taken. Make it as successful

494
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: as possible. Well, I think one big difference is.

495
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: That we have a smart president, whereas in the past

496
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 3: we've had dumb presidents.

497
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 10: And I trust President Trump to get the job done.

498
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: To do a good job for the American people, and

499
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: to make sure that the mistakes of the past aren't repeated.

500
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, there is some interpretation of JD. Vance, his candidacy

501
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: or his partnership with Donald Trump that led people to

502
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: believe that JD. Vance, under no circumstances whatever, strike anyone militarily.

503
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know where that came from. I don't

504
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: know why it is that there are those that claim

505
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: they voted for Donald Trump because they felt assured he

506
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: would never act militarily. I don't remember Donald Trump ever

507
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: making that promise. He said he wouldn't start dumb. But

508
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't see this as a dumb war. I see

509
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: this is entirely different. The goals were well stated, the

510
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: object and focus was well understood. To me, anybody that

511
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: has an understanding of history understands exactly who he targeted.

512
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: He explained why it's sufficient. I don't know. Maybe I'm

513
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: just a dumb guy, but it's sufficient for me. I

514
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: get it. I understand the threat of the Islamic theocracy

515
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: of Iran. I understand the menace they've been for almost

516
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: five decades. I get it. And if this president says

517
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: I saw information to suggest they were getting ready to

518
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: do something really heinous, why should I not trust this

519
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: president over Iran? You're asking me to assume Iran's not

520
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: that big a deal. I can't go there. I have

521
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: no reason to trust that Iran's not that big a deal.

522
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump is some sort of wild eyed Yosemite

523
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Sam just looking for a fight. That doesn't wash it

524
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. It's inconsistent with his character. And so yeah,

525
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: that's what jd Vance said, and I agree. It's about

526
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: starting dumb wars, not being smart about it, not having

527
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: a goal and an objective, which this president does. This

528
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: isn't indefinite. It could be painful or uncomfortable in the

529
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: short term, but it's not indefinite. It had a reason,

530
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: and I'm satisfied with the reason. I don't like islamis

531
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: with nukes, folks, That's just me more in a minute.

532
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: Good morning, gang, Thanks a lot for choosing us to

533
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: get your day started, or maybe listening later, watching on

534
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: the Salem News Channel, listening on the podcast. It's all

535
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: at Christigoll dot com so you can catch us later,

536
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: catch us live, watch us, listen however you like. But

537
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: most of all, this audience again this year has really

538
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: really stepped up in a big way. We are in

539
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: week number two of our campaign for the good people

540
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: at Food for the Poor, this ministry that my parent company,

541
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: the Salem Media Group, partners with every year and it

542
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: is a real honor to be a partnership with them.

543
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: I love working for a company I don't know about you.

544
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who you work for or if you

545
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: work anymore at all. But it wasn't until I joined

546
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: this team here at Salem that I got to know

547
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: that one of the things, one of the core missions

548
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: about Salem is ministry. It isn't just about the business.

549
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: It is about actually using the gifts that we're given,

550
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: the microphone and platform that we're given, all of us

551
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: to extend a hand and actually do good out there

552
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: and be the hands and feet of Jesus and help

553
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: the people at Food for the Poor who really are that.

554
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: I mean, they truly are physically on the ground helping

555
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: the most impoverished in our own hemisphere. And it's you know,

556
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: I know the news every day is there's a lot

557
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: of consternation, and it can get a lot of frustration

558
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: bubbling up in you, and maybe you start to feel

559
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: a little, i don't know, dispirited, or you just say

560
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: heck with it. This is one of those ways in

561
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: which you can really impact someone's life with very very little.

562
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 1: We are so blessed. Even those of us who are

563
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: down on our luck and squeezed financially are unbelievably blessed

564
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: compared to the things our partners at Food for the

565
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: poor sea in the Caribbean and Latin American nations that

566
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: they help serve thirsty kids. It is staggering to me

567
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: the stats when you hear that one in ten kids

568
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: are I mean not only without water, but they're chronically

569
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: dehydrated in these regions. I mean, you're talking about women

570
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: who have to walk miles for just relatively clean drinking water.

571
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: It's nuts. And so your gift of fifty dollars can

572
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: get fresh, clean living water to a couple of kids

573
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: for an entire year. Fifty bucks can do it for

574
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: an entire year. That's how Food for the Poor stretches

575
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: a dollar. It's amazing what they can do with a dollar.

576
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: Those of you who have stepped up and given again

577
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: already this year, thank you so much. As we're in

578
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: week number two, we set a goal of forty thousand

579
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: dollars to help these people, and I know we're going

580
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: to get there. We're darn near halfway there. I think

581
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: we're going to get there halfway there this week with

582
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: your generation gift. Several of you have already been so

583
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: unbelievably generous. I said, anybody that was willing to give

584
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars My small token of appreciation would be

585
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: lifetime membership at the Harama Society. All right, So if

586
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: it's on your heart to give, you don't have to

587
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: give a thousand dollars. You have to give fifty dollars

588
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: if you want to give five dollars. I understand people

589
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: have different circumstances. But if it's on your heart to

590
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: be a blessing to people who genuinely could use a blessing,

591
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, listen to the CEO. Just listen to Ed

592
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: Rain here, President and CEO of Food for the Poor,

593
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: who sees the impact your generosity has had over the years.

594
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

595
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 11: We work in twenty countries in the Caribbean and Latin America,

596
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 11: and people who have no other resources except the incredible

597
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 11: generosity of typically Americans, who you know, time and time again,

598
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 11: you know, really just give from the bottom of their

599
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 11: heart and through their love for their neighbor. And so

600
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 11: this is a faith based organization and through our church

601
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 11: networks and all these countries, we're able to get the

602
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 11: aid to where it needs to be.

603
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: It's so cool what they do. And again I always

604
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: encourage you to research Food for the Poor. I understand

605
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: you hear people say give to this, give to that.

606
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, Kennetra. I wouldn't talk to you about

607
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: these people if I didn't know personally who runs this

608
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: organization and how they stretch your dollar and make it work,

609
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: and that administrative costs are very very low, so they

610
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: really make your money work and go to where they

611
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: say it's going. That is people who really need to

612
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: help thirsty boys and girls desperately needing access. There's a

613
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: banner at the top of my website, christigall dot com.

614
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: If you click on it, it says give living water.

615
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: Now I know some of you because you have pop

00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,800

622
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,320

Speaker 1: standing by the tay your donation that way at eight

626
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: five five, three thirty forty six seventy three eight five

627
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,880

632
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: care of two kids for a whole year. One hundred

633
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: dollars handles four folks for a whole year. That would

634
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: be a remarkable gift. I hope you can help. Christigall

635
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: dot com look at that give living Water banner. Coming up,

636
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about specifically what's going on

637
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: in Iran with someone who knows this very very well.

638
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: James Fitzpatrick is an Army veteran and he's a former

639
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: appointee in the Trump administration. In the first Trump administration.

640
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: He's the director of the Center to Advanced Security in

641
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: America and he has made the legal case for Operation

642
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: Epic Fury why it is not only legal, it is America. First.

643
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: It would be helpful to hear that, I think from

644
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: somebody who knows and who has served, and we're going

645
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: to talk about that next. I don't know about you

646
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: if you have yo yo dieted all of your life.

647
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: I certainly have Keto paleo weight watchers intermittent fasting. You

648
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: lose weight, and I have. I've lost dramatic amounts of

649
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: weight before, only to gain it back and then some

650
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: and you probably kick yourself for it, and you think

651
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: it's all about your own willpower and your own lack

652
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: of discipline. Look, maybe Eire's some of that, but the

653
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: real truth of it is it was not strictly about willpower.

654
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: There is one thing only that determines whether your body

655
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: burns fat or stores fat. And if you don't know

656
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: how to fix that, every diet you're ever going to

657
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: try fails. That's all that changed for me was looking

658
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: at it differently, and PhD Weight Loss told me how

659
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: to look at it differently. Doctor Ashley Lucas and I

660
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: started talking about her program and why it's worked so

661
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: well for some of my colleagues, and how she's different.

662
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: And so when I went on this program last year

663
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: and I began to eat real food, I didn't have

664
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: to take any kind of shots or any kind of

665
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: gimmicky drugs or anything like that. It was just purely

666
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: understanding how my body best metabolizes food, when to eat,

667
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: what to eat, and not starving myself by the way.

668
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: And here's the deal. You start to have real victories quickly.

669
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: And I lost over forty pounds in under four months

670
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: time fast. Eddie, our executive producer, was so impressed with it,

671
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: he said, I wouldn't mind trying it. I said, how

672
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: much you want to lose? He said fifty pounds. So

673
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: we dialed up Ashley Lucas and I said, can Eddie

674
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: lose fifty pounds along with me here? And she said,

675
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: oh absolutely, Let's give it till May. So he started

676
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: the program. Folks, he is already halfway to his goal

677
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: after just thirteen weeks or so. So, I mean, you're

678
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: talking about over twenty five pounds in a matter of weeks.

679
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: That could be your story. Now. I have managed to

680
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 1: lose that kind of weight last year and coming into

681
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: a new year keeping that weight off. That's the first

682
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: time in my weight loss history that I've lost that

683
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of weight and maintained the weight loss. Because at

684
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: PhD Weight Loss they've identified that one thing. It's your

685
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: system that you can kick into action and help you

686
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: lose that weight and keep the body working for you,

687
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: not against you. And if you call right now, they're

688
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: going to give you two free weeks of the program.

689
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: You pay for food, all right, just for food, and

690
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: they'll give you two free weeks of the program so

691
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: you can finally see real results without more trial and error.

692
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: If you're done with the yo yo dieting thing and

693
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: you want real clarity, call PhD Weight Loss right now.

694
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Mention my name Stigall. No more guessing, just real answers

695
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: eight six four six four four nineteen hundred eight six

696
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: four six four four nineteen hundred. Make sure you mention

697
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: Stigall sen you or go to myphdeweight looss dot com.

698
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: What if the water in your home could make your

699
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 1: child sick? That's the reality for families across Latin America

700
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 1: and the Caribbean today. Mothers unbelievably walk miles for unsafe water,

701
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: Kids miss school, and then disease spreads. Water is, of course, life,

702
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: and without it everything begins to fall apart. Now today

703
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: you can do something to help change that. Your gift

704
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: of just fifty dollars ensures that two people have safe

705
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: and living water in these regions. A gift of one

706
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's a family of four transformed through Food

707
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: for the Poor, our partners. When you give a gift,

708
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: you're providing safe and living water, protecting kids, and restoring

709
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: dignity to families and bringing the hope of Christ to

710
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: communities in need. When clean water flows, sickness declines, kids

711
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: can return to school and their hope rises. Families are

712
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: waiting for help right now, and you can help by

713
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: texting Stigall to five one five fifty five. That's s

00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's say, good to be with you, folks. Welcome

719
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: in on this Tuesday Saint Patrick's Day edition of The

720
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: Stigall Show. Thanks a lot to those of you who

721
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: have continued to step up and help us with our

722
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: Food for the Poor campaign. Just checking out some of

723
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: the donations this morning, Joan and Philadelphia dropped the donation.

724
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Lorraine said something very sweet. She

725
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: lives in Paoli, suburban Philadelphia. She said, we are fortunate

726
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: to live in the United States, where we just turn

727
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: on faucets for water. I wish more Americans would appreciate

728
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: our country, she said. I think that's really an interesting perspective. Lorraine,

729
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: thank you for your generous gift. And then Patrick and

730
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: Palmer I dropped by and gave a gift too. That's

731
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: a sentiment that I've been hearing a lot lately. We

732
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: got a call from someone last week, if you remember,

733
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: who became sort of emotionally. He was overcome as he

734
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: was kind of thinking about He said he had he'd

735
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: seen the stock market in the last couple weeks and

736
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: that his claim was that he had lost fifty thousand

737
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: dollars in the market because it had gone south. Remember

738
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: this guy, Eddie, He got emotional and I asked him

739
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: what makes him emotional, and he said because the country

740
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: is just so important and I love it so much,

741
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: and he was so full of patriotism. He said, this

742
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: is the Country's worth it, and even you know, losing

743
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: some money is worth it. I got a note from

744
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: a guy today, So anyway, first of all, I don't

745
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: want to get sidetracked. I want to say thank you

746
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: for your food for the poor. Gift and if you

747
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: want to go to christigall dot com and you can

Speaker 1: a note like that thank you in advance, go to

752
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 1: christigall dot com. But I got an email this morning

753
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: from Jeff and Florida. He said, Chris, can you please

754
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: tell me why we're even discussing the correctness of our

755
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 1: war with Iran? Of course it's correct. Has everyone forgotten

756
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: that they've been trying to build a nuclear weapon specifically

757
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: to kill both Israel and the United States? Case closed? Oh? Sorry,

758
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: we have to pay five, six, even ten dollars a

759
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: gallon for gas, But let's let have Let's let Iran

760
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: have a nuke so we can get a dollar fifty

761
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: a gallon. What a great exchange getting nuked for cheap gas?

762
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: Are we a nation of morons? Just a rhetorical question,

763
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 1: that's for Jeff and Flora. Look, there are two types

764
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: of people on this thing. There are people, well, there's

765
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: the Marjorie Taylor Greens of the world who go on CNN.

766
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: Now you isn't that interesting? How you quit and suddenly

767
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: see it ends very interested in you as a Republican.

768
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: Give me number sixty. Here's MTG yesterday.

769
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 12: The younger generations, I'm Gen X, millennials and Gen Z

770
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 12: are very much against this war. And so when you

771
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 12: talk to people on the ground, that's how that's how

772
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 12: it comes across. It's very generational, and the younger generations

773
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 12: are completely against it. We want we want world peace,

774
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 12: we want good trade, we want great we want a

775
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 12: great economy, we want a lower inflation, lower the cost

776
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 12: of housing. And younger generations want to be able to

777
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 12: afford their A Maria lives and they don't want their

778
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 12: taxpayer dollars shipped off to and you can fill in

779
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 12: any foreign country.

780
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: So here to talk about it is James Fitzpatrick, who

781
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: is a veteran himself of the United States Army. He

782
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: is a former Trump administration appointee director of the Center

783
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: to Advanced Security in America. Mister Fitzpatrick, good morning to you, sir.

784
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 10: Welcome in, hey, Chris, thanks for having me back again.

785
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 10: Appreciate it.

786
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear by now everybody understands it.

787
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: If you spend any time online, there are people like

788
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: the gentleman who emailed me from Florida, Jeff, And there

789
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: are people like Marjorie Taylor Green, and maybe there are

790
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: people in between. So what do you make of it.

791
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 13: Sir, Yeah, I appreciate Chris hearing that clip from MTG

792
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 13: was disheartening. She claimed during the clip that she wanted

793
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 13: world peace. Well, I think taking out the world's largest

794
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 13: sponsor of terrorism. People that have been building a nuclear

795
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 13: bomb and targeting our troops in the region region which

796
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 13: I served in which thousands of my fellow Americans and

797
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 13: a plot of it killed President Trump, among other things,

798
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 13: were the masterminds behind the October seventh massacre. I think

799
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 13: eliminating them from the globe is pursuing exactly what she wants,

800
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 13: which is world peace, and was what President Trump wants.

801
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 13: So this is just it's the right thing to do.

802
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 13: It's unfortunate that we have to do this. Sometimes the

803
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 13: President has used every lever at his disposal to negotiate

804
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 13: with these guys, but the only language they understand is force.

805
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: By the way, Israel is reporting this morning that the

806
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: head of their paramilitary force in Iran was killed overnight,

807
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: as well as the head of their Supreme National Security

808
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: Council of Iran. So a couple of key guys again

809
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: taken out yesterday, how do you read James Fitzpatrick, by

810
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: the way, your piece at town hall. Sorry I didn't

811
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: mention this off the top, Epic Fury is legal and

812
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: it is America. First, that's a town hall right now.

813
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Epic Fury is legal and it is America. First authored

814
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: by James Fitzpatrick. How do you view this? What are

815
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: you hearing, if at all, from those that you have

816
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: served alongside or maybe you're still in what's your assessment

817
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: of things?

818
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 10: No, Look, I think we're.

819
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 13: Talking about it, and I think in my oup ed,

820
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 13: I think that's pretty much exactly what we're talking about, right,

821
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 13: and that you hear all these voices from the left

822
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 13: and really from both sides, as we heard with MTG

823
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 13: talking about how this may not be legal or this

824
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 13: might not be the right thing to do.

825
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 10: You know, the president has the power to protect the nation.

826
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 13: He has the power to strike militarily without declaring war.

827
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 13: War hasn't been declared since nineteen forty one, So he

828
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 13: did just that.

829
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 10: He took action.

830
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 13: Look that we don't know, the average American doesn't know

831
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 13: the intelligence. I know just what I've read in public

832
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 13: news reports, and we hear from Secretary of Rubio on

833
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 13: this a lot.

834
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 10: You know, they may.

835
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 13: Have been planning to strike our allies or Americans in

836
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 13: the region, and to strike them first was the right.

837
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 10: Thing to do. God forbid.

838
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 13: Imagine if you're waking up the next day and they

839
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 13: had killed a thousand Americans at a military base. At least,

840
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 13: imagine what the media would be saying then. So this

841
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 13: was the right thing to do. It's legal.

842
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 10: I think. I think Pete Hanks has summed.

843
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 13: It up well when it comes to America First objectives

844
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 13: in that he said, if you target Americans, we will

845
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 13: hunt you.

846
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 10: Down and we will kill you. And that is as

847
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 10: America First as it gets.

848
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: There is this disconnect, whether it's sincere or genuine. I'll

849
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: let others be the judge. But when Marjorie Taylor Green

850
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: says young people don't want this, I often think of

851
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: my sons who are twenty one and twenty and I say,

852
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how much my sons have been taught

853
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: about Iran and the menace that they've been for fifty years.

854
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot young people in this country

855
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: may not really know a lot about quite frankly, I mean,

856
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't mean to condescend, but to just simply say

857
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: we don't want war, well, who wants war, for heaven's sakes, James.

858
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: But to just say young people don't like it as

859
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: a reason to not do something or deal with something.

860
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't know when young people, but liking something has

861
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: been the metric.

862
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 13: That's right, No, And it's a great point that the

863
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 13: average person, especially the average young person, does not know

864
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 13: enough about the evils of this regime. You know, for

865
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 13: the past fifty years they've been they've been targeting and

866
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 13: killing Americans. Nineteen seventy nine, they took hostages, they stormed

867
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 13: our embassy, nineteen eighty three, they killed Marine servicemen in Lebanon.

868
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 13: It just it goes on and on. And as I said,

869
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 13: they're the masterminds behind this October seventh massacre which killed

870
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 13: forty six Americans and took twelve American hostages. So when

871
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 13: does it end, you know why, when they finally develop

872
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 13: a nuclear bomb that they've pledged to use against US

873
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 13: and our allies. So you have to take the threat out.

874
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 13: And President Trump deserves the credit. I mean, prior presidents

875
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 13: probably could have done this, but they didn't have the

876
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 13: bravery and they didn't have the ability, so he was

877
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 13: able to pull it off.

878
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: The straight of horror moves is something they clearly knew.

879
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: There was an admiral this Sunday who said, of course

880
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: we knew. I mean, it's it's absurd to think that

881
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: this wasn't a discussion. I mean, before the strike, they

882
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: knew this was something they were gonna have to deal with.

883
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: How do you read that? Unfolding this carg Island, there's

884
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: talked that maybe we may even see a presence of

885
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: physical presence on the ground there as a strategic possibility.

886
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: How do you read that? Would that be a positive

887
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: development or one that concerned you?

888
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 13: Look, I think the president and his administration and his

889
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 13: cabinet likes to keep their options open.

890
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 10: They don't necessarily commit to anything in public. Uh you know.

891
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 13: I think whenever the President gets asked about putting boots

892
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 13: on the ground, he always says, you know, we'll see.

893
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 13: And I think that's the right answer as it relates

894
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 13: to the straight I think, you know, as I think

895
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 13: I echo what the President said yesterday in the in

896
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 13: the Oble Office, and that was a little disappointed in

897
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 13: some of our allies for not coming to our side

898
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 13: and helping to escort vessels through the straight But you know,

899
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 13: I think we're on the right side of history. I

900
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 13: think we've seen who our true allies are here and

901
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 13: some of our some of our long standing allies that

902
00:45:58,920 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 13: aren't standing with us.

903
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

904
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 10: You know, it's disappointing.

905
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 7: UH.

906
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 13: We actually saw you know, the Saudis come out right

907
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 13: away UH in support of this.

908
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 7: UH.

909
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 10: They're the They're one of the largest countries in the region.

910
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 13: So to have their support on the other Arab states UH,

911
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 13: and and not some of our European friends on board

912
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 13: is unfortunate.

913
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 10: But you know we'll go with UH. You know, we

914
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 10: do what we got to do.

915
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: James Fitzpatrick, I've got about a minute. I'll ask you,

916
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: having served yourself and those that you may be served alongside,

917
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: when when the discussion of oh, this is another Iraq

918
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: or this is another Afghanistan, you say.

919
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 13: I don't none of my none of my friends I'm

920
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 13: talking to are saying that. I think people are sophisticated

921
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 13: enough to understand that our military has enough might and

922
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 13: enough power to do what it has to do to

923
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 13: destroy a regime like this without you know, without ever

924
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 13: putting putting folks into the country in terms of boots

925
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 13: on the ground. If it comes to that, you know,

926
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 13: that's that's a that's a presidential decision. I don't think

927
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 13: the vast majority of of my colleagues are are in

928
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 13: support of that. But you know, we have the capability

929
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 13: to do everything we need to do without without putting

930
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 13: people on the ground.

931
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 10: So hopefully it stays at that.

932
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 13: Uh, we're clearly destroying we destroy their air force, we

933
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 13: destroy their navy.

934
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 10: We're clearly doing what we need to do.

935
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 13: So hopefully that continues, and you know, we don't see

936
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 13: any more additional Americans lost.

937
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,720
Speaker 1: You don't see this is twenty years long. Like Afghanistan, though.

938
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 13: I don't you know, And if you look, the Uranian

939
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 13: people are not our enemy, they're they're our friend.

940
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 10: They are their cheering this.

941
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 13: So I think, you know, once we once the once

942
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 13: the administration in Iran, that that those that remain understand

943
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 13: that this is going to continue until they come to

944
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 13: the table and abandon their program, I think that's when

945
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 13: we'll move on from this.

946
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: James Fitzpatrick Epic Theory, Legal and America First at Townhall

947
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: dot com. Thank you, sir, heyf me Saint Patrick's day.

948
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: Good to be with you. Sorry, PAULI, what was that again? Really?

949
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: Thank you our telephone number eight five five Stigaul. As

950
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: we look at a shot of Kansas City, Missouri, downtown

951
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Thrilled to have you here wherever you happen

952
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: to be. If you're watching on the Salem News Channel,

953
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: maybe now on Amazon Prime, if you get the app.

954
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: Do you watch on SNC dot tv. There's a lot

955
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: of ways to watch the show if you like watching.

956
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: If you're just listening in the car this morning. Glad

957
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: to have you along on our hundreds of affiliates all

958
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: over the country, growing by leaps and bounds every day.

959
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: And thank you so much for your support of it.

960
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: Over on X this morning, I was just reading from

961
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: a gentleman last named Gerge. You are on X. He

962
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: is a commentator on Middle East affairs. He says Al

963
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: Jazeera is now running the headline the US Israeli strategy

964
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: against Iran is working. A guy named Professor Mohanad Saloum

965
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: argues that despite what skeptics are understandably worried about, when

966
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: you look at what has actually happened to Iran's principal

967
00:48:55,320 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: instruments of power. It's ballistic missile arsenal, it's nuclear infrastructure,

968
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: it's air defenses, it's navy, and it's proxy command architecture.

969
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: The picture is not one of US failure. It's one

970
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: of systemic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations

971
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: allowed to grow for four decades. I find it odd

972
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: that that's even said that the United States involvement here

973
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: in what they're achieving is not a picture of failure.

974
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: Has that been? Are you getting the sense that there

975
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: are people here domestically that think it's been a failure?

976
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: Ed have gone that far? I mean maybe people have

977
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 1: said I don't want to be involved in this thing,

978
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: But are there people out there saying they think we're

979
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: on our heels about this? I haven't heard that failure? No, No,

980
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't either yea, no, nothing an odd

981
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: choice of words, but I mean his point is, if

982
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: that's your read or if you think that this is

983
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: an excursion that's not successful. He says, oh no, it

984
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: is perhaps to head off the naysayers who will write

985
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: him off as a Zionist. I have worked with the

986
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: Department of State and advise defense and intelligence agencies in

987
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: multiple countries. I have no interest in cheerleading this war,

988
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: says this professor. But I have spent my academic career

989
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: studying how states authorize the use of force through intelligence institutions,

990
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: and what I see in this current campaign is a

991
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: recognizable military operation proceeding through identifiable phases against an adversary

992
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: whose capability to project power is collapsing in real time.

993
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,439
Speaker 1: This commentator goes on to say the professor is right.

994
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: This is a well planned war with clear objectives, and

995
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 1: most of the people saying otherwise are confusing what's happening

996
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six with their desire to relitigate Iraq

997
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. I think that's correct. They're night

998
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: and day different. I've not heard one person who served

999
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: in Iraq or Afghanistans say that they see that there

1000
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: is any similarity whatsoever from that to this chief among them,

1001
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 1: the difference is being that Iran is full of people

1002
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: that actually want to be free, and it was an

1003
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: established nation before it was taken over by an Islamic

1004
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: theocracy that has been threatening nuclear holocaust on the West.

1005
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: Chris email me this morning. He said, I don't know

1006
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 1: much about Colin, the guy that posted on your exitcount earlier,

1007
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: but my kids are in their twenties. They're paying a

1008
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: little more for gas and it's worth it to me

1009
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: for my kids to not have to deal with Iran.

1010
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: That's what Chris said, just one email, So just passing

1011
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: it along, folks. I understand there are differing points of

1012
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 1: view in this audience. That's what makes us conservatives people

1013
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: of goodwill. We can debate and dispute. People are at

1014
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: the Herum Society, but in a civil way. Head over

1015
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: to Christigall dot com. Joined my three times a week newsletter.

1016
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff going on. I haven't even

1017
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: gotten into Cuba yet. I talked a little about that

1018
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: yesterday at the Herm Society. More on that in a minute.

1019
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: I think it's incredible what Israel is involved with as well.

1020
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal this morning says Israel's ground found

1021
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: invasion of Lebanon has opened a new front against Hesbela.

1022
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: Israel said yesterday they are launching a ground operation in

1023
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: the southern swath of Lebanon and are prepared for a

1024
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: prolonged campaign. Their Defense minister said residents will be unable

1025
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: to return to the area until Israel determines it has

1026
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: removed the threat posed by Hesbela Gaza has been more

1027
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: or less flushed of Hamas ed I don't know. It's

1028
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: to me, this is all good. I'm maybe people are

1029
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: of different opinions and minds about this. I understand, God

1030
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: bless America. You're willing and welcome to if you want.

1031
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm not here to talk you into

1032
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: anything or out of anything but wiping Hamas out effectively.

1033
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 1: And these guys in Israel now heading to the north

1034
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: and taking on Hesbola while we're effectively neutralizing and cutting

1035
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: the head off the snake in Iran. I'm fine with

1036
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: all of this. I'm completely fine with all of it.

1037
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: I realize some people, for whatever reason, they have their reasons,

1038
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: they're not I believe I know who the good guys are.

1039
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: I believe I know who the bad guys are. I

1040
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: think Islamic wackos, theocratic wackos touting Islam need to be

1041
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: dealt with before they deal with us, because they are

1042
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: committed to dealing with us. If anybody has any doubt.

1043
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 4: Oh they are, yeah, no, absolutely, I just I do

1044
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 4: think that there is it's there's nobody else that could

1045
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 4: have pulled this off. Trump is the only one with

1046
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 4: the fortitude to do something like this and actually go

1047
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 4: through with it. But I do want to take into account.

1048
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 4: You know, we're coming off of the Democrats murdering the

1049
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 4: economy for two straight years. You know, it is hard

1050
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 4: for young people to get into home, get into homes.

1051
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 4: Interest rates have not come down. They finally see some

1052
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 4: relief on energy, and now we're now we have this

1053
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 4: problem on the world stage with the straight acorn moves

1054
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 4: being closed and now we're back up to where we

1055
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 4: were with Biden level as far as the gas goes.

1056
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 4: So it's there are a lot of things happening, and

1057
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 4: it's I think some people, you know, can can, who

1058
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 4: are able to weather this better than others, you know,

1059
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 4: feel a certain way about this, and I think that

1060
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 4: it's understandable coming from young people especially.

1061
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: Sure, leading is hard. It's hard to lead, Yes, it's

1062
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: hard to lead. It's easy to pump money into the

1063
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: economy and say, well, let's just ignore iron. That's so easy,

1064
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: It's so damned easy. Let's ignore Maduro in Venezuela. Let's

1065
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: just ignore it. Let's la la la la la. Let's

1066
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: plug our ears and hope. Meanwhile, at the Washington Post,

1067
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: armed militants attacking Christian communities in Nigeria are increasingly issuing

1068
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: a stark ultimatum to villagers either convert to Islam and

1069
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 1: pay religious tax or face execution. Islam's on the march.

1070
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: Islam is on the march. Islam wants you dead, and

1071
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: you want to talk to me about the price of gas.

1072
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: I just don't know what to say to you about that,

1073
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 1: other than I'm sorry, I really am. But it isn't

1074
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: because Joe Biden is pumping billions of dollars into the

1075
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: economy every hour, and I do genuinely believe this is

1076
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: a genuinely temporary thing. But Islam on the march is

1077
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: not a place I want to be. A weaponized, nuked

1078
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: up Islam is not a place I want to be.

1079
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the UK. I don't want

1080
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: to have a leader that is so scared of his

1081
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: Islamic theocratic growing population he's too afraid to engage on

1082
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: the world stage with a nuked up Iran. I don't

1083
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: want that from my president. Donald Trump does not, he

1084
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: said this over the weekend. I don't delighten this. This

1085
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: is not politically fun. This is not the easy thing

1086
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: to do. Believe me, I get it. But leadership is

1087
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: hard making tough decisions. That's why we elect one guy

1088
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: to be the chief executive, and he has to make

1089
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: tough calls. And there's a reason, like we can explain this.

1090
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: Could you explain Joe Biden? Could you explain the country

1091
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: being shut down? Could you explain pumping money into the economy.

1092
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: Could you explain Ukraine? Whatever it takes, as long as

1093
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: it takes. Could you explain a Chinese spy balloon flying

1094
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: over the country. Could you explain it? I literally could

1095
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: not explain anything Joe Biden did or stood for, assuming

1096
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: he had anything to do with most of it, which

1097
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: we don't think he did. I think he was eating

1098
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: pudding and napping most of the time. There was virtually

1099
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: no explanation for anything the Biden deministration did. I can

1100
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: look you in the eye and explain why I believe

1101
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is doing what he's doing, and because I

1102
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: voted for him three times, I feel very comfortable with that.

1103
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: It may suck in the interim that things as fast ed.

1104
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: He said were leveled to such a degree economically in

1105
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: this country because of Democrat rule, absolute ruin, grinding the

1106
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: economy and inflating it to a halt. Now we have

1107
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,280
Speaker 1: to dig out from under this thing. And that doesn't

1108
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 1: mean that Iran is going to take a time out

1109
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: from nuking up and meaning us harm because we're economically sidelined.

1110
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: You have to make some really tough decisions when you're

1111
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: talking about a global enemy. And President Trump has And

1112
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: by the way, i'll just say, Cuba, I don't know

1113
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: if you saw this or not, but this is amazing.

1114
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: Cuba went black last night. The electrical grid failure in

1115
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: Cuba has now left millions without power. Massive grid failure

1116
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: has left two thirds of Cuba without electricity. The collapse

1117
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: of the island's national electric system has left nearly seven

1118
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: million people of the island's ten million inhabitants without power,

1119
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: including the country's capital, Havana. The causes are being investigated

1120
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: and protocols for restoration are beginning to be activated, said

1121
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: the Cuba Minister of Energy. The Cuban government and hasn't

1122
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: specified the apparent reasons for the blackout, which has reportedly

1123
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: impacted ten of the country's fifteen providences. Cuban State Television

1124
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: blamed an unfortunate shutdown at the island's largest generator for

1125
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: the outage. Analysts say the already fragile state of Cuba's

1126
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: electrical grid was shaken. When why? When?

1127
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 2: What?

1128
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: The Trump administration's decision to cut off their supply from Venezuela.

1129
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: Venezuela where people said, I can't believe he took out Maduro.

1130
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: He's doing really consequential, hard stuff that is truly realigning

1131
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: the global order of things. It's big, consequential, meaningful stuff,

1132
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: all of which has a direct impact on your life

1133
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: and mine and my kids' lives down the road in

1134
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: the short order. Does the economy suck, Yes, but we

1135
00:58:55,680 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: didn't get here overnight, and I don't envy that it

1136
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: all falls on Donald Trump's shoulders to try to fix

1137
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: all by himself inside of four years. It's been a year,

1138
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: and I remind you again, just over a calendar year

1139
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: he's ousted Maduro. That's remarkable unto itself, and now Cuba

1140
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: may well fall as well as totally neutralizing Hamas and Iran.

1141
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: If Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela are truly coming apart. History

1142
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: is going to note something really important here, folks, not

1143
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: just the fall of Tyrannies, but the difference between that

1144
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: husk and this president. And don't forget Barack Obama, who

1145
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: was effectively running the husks last administration. He approached these

1146
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:57,479
Speaker 1: hostile regimes by engaging with them and normalizing and funding them.

1147
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Obama reopened relations with Cuba. He sent tourism dollars to Cuba.

1148
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: This is a regime that has spent six decades jailing

1149
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: dissenters and by the way, hosting some of the most

1150
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: hostile entities to us right off our shores, right off

1151
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: our waters. Barack Obama struck an Iran nuclear deal. He

1152
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: released billions of dollars in sanctioned relief to effectively bankroll Hesbela,

1153
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: who Israel is going to war with at this very hour,

1154
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: and Hamas that just slaughtered Israel back on October second,

1155
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, terrorism across the Middle East.

1156
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Barack Obama effectively subsidized it. This president, now, like everything else,

1157
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: has to come in and fix it all and do

1158
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: it inside of four years while trying to keep things

1159
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: affordable enough for us. Not a pretty picture, not an

1160
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: easy fix, and yet Barack Obama was celebrated to some

1161
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: sort of sophisticated diplomat. In reality, what he was doing

1162
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: was giving oxygen to terror. So we have a president

1163
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: that's now taken an opposite view. Tyrannies, it turns out,

1164
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: don't soften when you reward them or ignore them. They

1165
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: actually harden, and they get emboldened. They pocket the dough

1166
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: you send them and the concessions that you offer them,

1167
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: and then they tighten their grip even more tightly. And

1168
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: so President Trump decided the reverse course and apply maximum

1169
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: pressure on Iran and put crushing sanctions on Cuba and

1170
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: choke off their oil supply. With relentless pressure on Venezuela.

1171
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: No illusions, no romance about understanding dictators or just minding

1172
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: our own business, because ultimately minding our own business means

1173
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: real trouble for it down the road. It may sound

1174
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: nice in the offing, but it doesn't end well. What

1175
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: President Trump has delivered here is leverage, real leverage. And

1176
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: look around. Now you got a guy who was a

1177
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: drug kingpin thug in Venezuela, in Maduro, now in custody

1178
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: Iran's regime almost entirely decapitated, staggering around, devastated internally in chaos.

1179
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Cuba is now in the dark, literally buckling under blackouts

1180
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: and shortages and unrest. The foreign policy class said this

1181
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: was reckless, that putting pressure on these regimes was dangerous, reckless,

1182
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: not to be done. Need to negotiated with it, or

1183
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: better yet, just leave it to its own devices. History

1184
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: keeps delivering the same verdict. Though appeasement stabilizes tyrants, strength

1185
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: destabilizes tyrants. It's that easy. And when tyrants fall, millions

1186
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: can finally breathe free. And that's what this president believes in.

1187
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: That's his foreign policy, all the while trying to course

1188
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: correct here at home. Not an easy needle to thread.

1189
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: But if there's any president that's going to do it,

1190
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the one that just survived death by

1191
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: a millimeter. I think it's providential. I genuinely do. You

1192
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: may disagree, and that's okay. One thing I do know

1193
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: is our friends at IFCJ, regardless of what you think

1194
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: politically about this combat, IFCJ works on the ground to

1195
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: protect and help those folks in Israel specifically who air

1196
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: raid sirens are going off. That's something we don't have

1197
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: to deal with here in the United States, amen, and

1198
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: thank god. But in Israel they do. Our allies and

1199
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: partners in Israel are constantly dealing with the threat overhead

1200
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: from bombs and missiles and the like. And so IFCJ

1201
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: exists to simply help stockpile medicines and foods, particularly for

1202
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: elderly or people that are in poverty, keep these bomb

1203
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: shelters available to folks. A lot of people STI don't

1204
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: have them. IFCJ constructs them and builds them and stockpiles them,

1205
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: they take care of people on the ground. Again, it's

1206
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: not a military effort. It's not a political effort. This

1207
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: is just a humanitarian effort. SUPPORTIFCJ dot org if you

1218
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: Apple folks, I just want to remind you again if

1219
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: you are an Apple podcast listener, traditionally there was a hiccup.

1220
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: There was an issue for some reason. Don't know why.

1221
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Can't confirm there was sabotage, but we were hamstrung a

1222
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: little bit with Apple. So for those of you that

1223
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: typically listen to the podcast that way, I guess you

1224
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily know this if you're having a problem, but

1225
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: want you to know if that's how you consume podcasts

1226
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: at least. Mind why it wasn't updating, There wasn't an issue.

1227
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Reload the app, refresh the app at all as well.

1228
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: But you can also get my podcast right there from

1229
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Christigall dot com or on YouTube and lots of other

1230
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: different places as well. Let's go to Matt in Phoenix,

1231
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,959
Speaker 1: who's been waiting patiently. Matt, I'm sure glad you called.

1232
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: Good morning.

1233
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 2: Welcome in sir, Good morning Chris, huge fan from Phoenix.

1234
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 2: I just want to say hello and love your show.

1235
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: God bless you, Matt, Thank you so much, and particularly

1236
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: at this early hour. Thank you.

1237
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a little early for Phoenix, But I just

1238
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: really want to know your solution to deal with radical Islam,

1239
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 2: because it's I see it here in Arizona and it's

1240
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 2: it's definitely creeping.

1241
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: Sir, Explain what do you see?

1242
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 2: I see that they just they take over, They just

1243
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 2: they're all around, and I think that they really want

1244
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 2: to surround you with their beliefs.

1245
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I will say about Look, I don't want

1246
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: anybody to misunderstand me. There is a difference between and

1247
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,959
Speaker 1: I know some people differ on this thing. I don't

1248
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: think everybody who calls themselves a Muslim is a radical jihatist.

1249
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody who is a Muslim necessarily is

1250
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: a hardened Islamist who wishes the governing entities about all

1251
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: practice seria law. I do think there's a difference Islamic supremacy.

1252
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: Political Islam is a very uniquely dangerous thing to Western civilization.

1253
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: Just is that, you know, particularly do you women? You

1254
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: know that's the irony is and I really appreciate the call,

1255
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Matt very very much. The irony is they think now

1256
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: that the have you heard this the Iatola's son, Eddie.

1257
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Did you hear this? They think the Iotola's son's gay. Yes.

1258
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: President Trump is apparently reportedly having a good chuckle at this,

1259
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: even though he is apparently in a diminished capacity. There's

1260
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: some intelligence reports that say the Iotola's son, he's all

1261
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: doped up on pain meds and he's making advances on

1262
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: the men that are trying to treat him. Oh no,

1263
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: you better not.

1264
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 4: Better not be a tall building when the hospital he's in.

1265
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I just you, those of you

1266
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: who are gay, those of you who are women, you

1267
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: should understand what Islam is, and you should understand that

1268
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: there is no time for you. You're subhuman that can't

1269
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: be tolerated in the United States of America. I wouldn't think.

1270
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think.

1271
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 13: So.

1272
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: Listen, Culturally, if you, if you, if you have culture,

1273
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: know whatever. I'm not here to say that you can't

1274
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: celebrate your own culture or whatever. That's not my point

1275
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: of view. But I am saying that when you start

1276
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: to enforce the notion that radical Islam, political Islam should

1277
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: be the governing practice and principle in your community, which

1278
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: we're starting to see in places like Texas and Minneapolis.

1279
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: That is a real problem. That is an affront to

1280
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: Western civilization. It can't be tolerated. It's in fact, it's frankly,

1281
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: it's got to be outlawed. I I don't actually think

1282
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: that women should be Well, how do you say this?

1283
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: I guess you can't say that, can you? I don't

1284
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: know ed. Call me old fashioned, but I'm not one

1285
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: of these guys that thinks women should be forced to

1286
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: cover their their heads, cover themselves head to toe with

1287
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: slits for eyes. I don't think that's good for civilization.

1288
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that's good for women. Agreed. Yeah, So

1289
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: when when I'm at the convenience store and I see

1290
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: a woman head to toe slitz for eyes, all covered up,

1291
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: I think to myself, that's no way to live. I

1292
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: don't know about you. Call me a feminist, but that's me,

1293
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: and so I can you defeat it? You can't tolerate it?

1294
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: I think I think you cannot. Look, we can, we

1295
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: can out we can outlaw mask wearing, and we have

1296
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: uh in departed? Am I prepared to say? I don't

1297
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: think we should allow legally women to be covered head

1298
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: to toe with slits for eyes. I'm prepared to probably

1299
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: say that for starters, political Islam is not something with

1300
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,560
Speaker 1: which we can cohabitate in this country. Do with that

1301
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: what you will. Hey, everybody's trying to save money where

1302
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: they can. If you buy your own health insurance or

1303
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: if you're on Obamacare, you know how expensive those premiums

1304
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: are getting. It's why I've sent my own parents, my

1305
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: personal friends, and my colleagues to John Ruhlman and his

1306
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: team at US medical Plan dot com. John works with

1307
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: one hundred different private health insurance companies across the country

1308
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: to find you the very best coverage at the very

1309
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: best rates. My own parents saved four hundred dollars a

1310
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: month each on their Medicare supplemental health insurance premiums reaching

1311
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,879
Speaker 1: out to John Rouman and US Medical Plan dot Com.

1312
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: I have a friend in between jobs. She reached out

1313
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: to US Medical Plan to replace her Cobra insurance rates.

1314
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Saved six hundred dollars a month. A personal friend who

1315
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: buys his own famili's health insurance out of pocket. I

1316
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 1: send him to John and now he's saving one thousand

1317
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: dollars a month. Listen, folks, this is one of the

1318
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: easiest ways to save appreciable money every month without sacrificing coverage.

1319
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 1: But you're not going to know unless you reach out

1320
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: right now and have the conversation eight seven seven four

1321
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 1: to one zero forty three to twenty one or log

1322
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,759
Speaker 1: onto us Medical Plan dot com. Hey there, it's Chris

1323
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 1: back on the phone with my dentist and friend, Bob

1324
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Spinato at Williamsburg Dental in Broomall, Pennsylvania, just off the

1325
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Blue Route. With new technology, you have not just new associates,

1326
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: but they brought new technology into the business to make

1327
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: it a little easier for patients.

1328
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a very exciting time in dentistry. We have

1329
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 8: now introduced a three dimensional X ray call to cbct

1330
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:01,759
Speaker 8: CAN in our office which al to diagnose and things

1331
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 8: earlier for patients. My daughter is placing a lot of

1332
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 8: implants in the past that referred out as now being

1333
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 8: done in house. And we also we've been using dental

1334
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 8: or computer scanners who are taking impressions for crowns for

1335
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 8: about the last two to three years. We now have

1336
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 8: introduced the next step, which is a milling machine and

1337
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 8: anything now make crowns in the office. Things can be

1338
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 8: completed in the same day as opposed to having a

1339
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,639
Speaker 8: temporary crown put on in three weeks later coming back

1340
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 8: and having a permit cround put on. I think it's

1341
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 8: really a game changer and it's a time saver for

1342
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 8: our patients have to make multiple visits to the office, pick.

1343
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Up the phone or go online make that appointment six

1344
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,640
Speaker 1: one oh three five three twenty seven hundred or Williamsburg

1345
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: dash Dental dot Com had a gang welcome in Happy

1346
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day. They make the river green in Chicago.

1347
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: You know, I guess they still do that. I don't know.

1348
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: I hear they're broke. Now we're looking at Chicago. On

1349
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: the Salem News Channel this morning, headline from the Washington

1350
01:11:55,680 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Post Chicago Koreans toward insolvency. The city was forced this

1351
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: week to put off a planned sale of a three

1352
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar tax exempt municipal bonds package, part of

1353
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,719
Speaker 1: an eight hundred million dollar debt service package. Authorities blamed

1354
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,879
Speaker 1: volatility caused by the war, but other bonds were priced

1355
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:17,759
Speaker 1: without incident. The truth is, it's never a good time

1356
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 1: to float the kind of debt Chicago wants. The city

1357
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: seeks to structure bonds to make no payments at all,

1358
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: not even interest for the first couple of years. That

1359
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: obviously raises the overall cost of borrowing again. This is

1360
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: in the Washington Post there editorial board today, summarizing if

1361
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: voters don't force Chicago's elected officials, officials to change, the

1362
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: bond market will eventually change for them and that would

1363
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 1: be much more painful. So I don't know if they've

1364
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: got the money to dye the river green with Saint

1365
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: Patrick's day in Chicago. Glad to have you in. Our

1366
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: telephone number is eight five five S to goall. Thanks

1367
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: again for your support of our Food for the Poor campaign. Guys,

1368
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:58,960

1369
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: can help us our good friends at Food for the Poor.

1370
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: You know what they do, I hope by now, and

1371
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 1: if you're new to the show and you don't, let

1372
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: me tell you about it. Food for the Poor they

1373
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: do one thing very very well, and that is reach

1374
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 1: out to Latin American and Caribbean countries those who have

1375
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing and I mean dirt nothing. Anything you can

1376
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 1: imagine about struggle, any struggle financially you and I are

1377
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: going through. We look like millionaires comparatively. And what they

1378
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: do at Food for the Poor. A fifty dollars donation

1379
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: can get living water into the lives of two young

1380
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: people for an entire year. I mean, you're talking about families,

1381
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: children that go not just malnourished, but dehydrated. One in

1382
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 1: ten kids in Honduras under the age of five are

1383
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: actually chronically dehydrated because they don't have proper water supply.

1384
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: There women walking for miles just to get drinking water.

1385
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 1: And this God honoring mission focused Food for the Poor

1386
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: organization that we partner with every year, they travel to

1387
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: some of the most impoverished communities you've ever seen, and

1388
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: they deliver living water courtesy of your dollars and your donations.

1389
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you you want to talk about an

1390
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 1: organization that stretches a dollar and you can feel great

1391
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: about giving. It's Food for the Poor. Listen to ed

1392
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: Rain their CEO and what your generosity does.

1393
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 11: We work in twenty countries in the Caribbean and Latin

1394
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 11: America and people who have no other resources except the

1395
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 11: incredible generosity of typically Americans who you know, time and

1396
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 11: time again, you know, really you just give from the

1397
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 11: bottom of their heart and through their love for our

1398
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 11: neighbor and so this is a faith based organization and

1399
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 11: through our church networks and all these countries, we're able

1400
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 11: to get the aid to where it needs to be.

1401
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: That's you. You can help me. Go to christigall dot

1408
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: thirty forty six seventy three, and thank you in advance

1409
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: for helping out two hundred and fifty years. Our country

1410
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 1: celebrates this July fourth. Our friends at the Herzog Foundation

1411
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: are celebrating with a segment we call faith in Freedom

1412
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: to fifty.

1413
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 14: What if I told you the first and most enduring

1414
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 14: textbook in American history wasn't written by a scholar or

1415
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 14: a schoolmaster, but by the divine hand of God. In

1416
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,639
Speaker 14: early America, the Bible wasn't just a source of faith.

1417
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 1: It was the foundation of learning.

1418
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 14: The book that taught children to read, to reason, and

1419
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 14: to live rightly. This is the story of how scripture

1420
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 14: shaped the minds and morals of colonial America.

1421
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 5: Early in the seventeenth century, the Bible became an essential

1422
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 5: book an American colonial settlements founded by English religious refugees.

1423
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 5: Pilgrim separatists looking for a place where they could worship

1424
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 5: freely outside the authority of established governmental churches, initiated Plymouth

1425
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 5: Plantation in sixteen twenty. When they left the old world behind,

1426
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 5: they not only fled religious persecution, but they also sought

1427
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 5: to build an entirely new society based on Holy scripture.

1428
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 5: Settlers not only had to be home builders, farmers, hunters, craftsmen,

1429
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 5: and soldiers. They also took on the roles of clergymen, physicians,

1430
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 5: civil authorities, and educators. These were roles they may not

1431
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 5: have had in their previous lives, but which became essential

1432
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 5: to keep their settlements viable. With limited resources and little

1433
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 5: ability to manufacture or print anything for educational purposes, they

1434
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 5: relied almost exclusively on one book to guide them, the

1435
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 5: Holy Bible.

1436
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,600
Speaker 15: Nearly all education in the early colonies took place in

1437
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 15: the home. Children were taught reading and writing through wrote

1438
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:08,560
Speaker 15: memorization by copying verses from the Bible to improve their literacy, grammar, vocabulary,

1439
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 15: and rhetoric that even used the Bible to assist them

1440
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 15: in mathematics or ciphering, as it was called at the time.

1441
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 15: As their skills improved, students also absorbed valuable moral lessons

1442
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 15: directly from this textbook, whether they realized it or not.

1443
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,440
Speaker 15: Scriptural lessons they heard in sermons each week were reinforced

1444
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:26,719
Speaker 15: in their daily education.

1445
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 16: Local and colonial governments began finding ways to institutionalize education

1446
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 16: in their villages and towns. The Bible and the New

1447
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 16: England Primer, which borrowed heavily from scriptural texts, became the

1448
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 16: main sources of book learning for colonial students. Even higher

1449
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 16: education was based upon religious texts to train future clergymen.

1450
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,599
Speaker 16: In North America, all nine colleges established in the English

1451
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 16: colonies were begun by Protestant denominations for that very purpose.

1452
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 5: First came Harvard in sixteen thirty six, founded by the

1453
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 5: Congregational Church, then William and Mary in sixteen ninety three,

1454
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 5: an Anglican school Yale in seventeen oh one, also Congregational

1455
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 5: Princeton in seventeen forty six for Presbyterians, King's College in

1456
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 5: seventeen fifty four for Anglicans, the College of Philadelphia in

1457
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 5: seventeen fifty five, which was officially non sectarian but included

1458
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 5: Anglicans and Quakers among its founders. The College of Rhode

1459
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 5: Island was founded in seventeen sixty four, a Baptist school,

1460
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 5: Queen's College in seventeen sixty six of the Dutch Reformed Church,

1461
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:40,719
Speaker 5: and lastly Dartmouth in seventeen sixty nine, another Congregational school.

1462
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,839
Speaker 15: Many Colonial Americans were products of a deeply religious society.

1463
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 15: The Calvinist of New England, the Quakers of Pennsylvania, the Anglicans,

1464
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 15: and every colony Roman Catholics in Maryland and others were

1465
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 15: all very comfortable with their children learning directly from God's

1466
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 15: Holy Bible and inspired scripture. This method of learning honored

1467
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:02,959
Speaker 15: their ancestors preserve their beliefs and molded children into righteous,

1468
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 15: God fearing adults who would perpetuate these religious convictions.

1469
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 16: It also bound colonists together with a common and consistent

1470
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 16: understanding of the world in which they lived.

1471
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 1: The parables, stories, psalms.

1472
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 16: And verses within the Bible provided valuable life lessons for

1473
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:24,919
Speaker 16: colonial students. The obvious moral lessons imparted by Biblical texts

1474
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 16: taught them how to live lives of virtue and righteousness

1475
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 16: before others and before God.

1476
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 5: Lessons from the Old Testament, based on the Ten Commandments

1477
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 5: and Mosaic Law, focused on obedience to God and the

1478
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 5: need for order in society. Puritan values of hard work, diligence,

1479
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 5: and sacrifice were bolstered in the scriptures, with the understanding

1480
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,719
Speaker 5: that these efforts would one day be judged by God.

1481
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 5: These ideas helped shape what became known as the Protestant

1482
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 5: work ethic and colonial America.

1483
01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,600
Speaker 15: Moral responsibility in a charge to be a part of

1484
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 15: a commune were found throughout the Bible. Earth was viewed

1485
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,799
Speaker 15: as a pale reflection of the perfect order of God's heaven.

1486
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 15: Men and women were to toil on earth and in pursuit

1487
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 15: of heavenly perfection. This lesson was the backbone for community

1488
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 15: service and the local governance in the American colonies.

1489
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 16: The Bible also offered vivid warnings about the consequences of

1490
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 16: living an immoral life. The effects of living sinfully and

1491
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 16: selfishly rather than focusing on eternal salvation with God and

1492
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:33,520
Speaker 16: his saints, were well known to religious American colonists. Recurring

1493
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,799
Speaker 16: stories of covenants between God and man in the Garden

1494
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 16: of Eden with Noah after the flood, between God and

1495
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 16: Abraham with Moses and the ancient Hebrews, and the covenant

1496
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 16: of the New Testament fulfilled by Jesus Christ were all

1497
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 16: models for lesser compacts between mere men in an imperfect world.

1498
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 5: In addition to moral and ethical lessons, colonial students learned

1499
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 5: the beauty of language by memorizing the poetry of the

1500
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 5: Psalms and mastering the cadence of scriptural prose. They were

1501
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,600
Speaker 5: exposed to the methods of storytelling and learned how to

1502
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 5: communicate their ideas clearly and powerfully. In their reading of

1503
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 5: the Bible, students memorized hundreds of phrases and sayings that

1504
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 5: they would continue to use throughout their lives. This shared

1505
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 5: knowledge became vital in uniting colonists from Georgia to New Hampshire,

1506
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 5: and from coastal communities to frontier settlements in similar struggles

1507
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 5: and causes.

1508
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,879
Speaker 15: Each of the sixty six books of the Bible contained

1509
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,440
Speaker 15: lessons that not only guided Christian people, but they contributed

1510
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 15: to colonial society. With the Bible as the primary textbook

1511
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 15: used to instruct children, colonial communities, preserve their faith and

1512
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 15: secured their future. Simultaneously, teachings from the Bible as a

1513
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 15: textbook provided an education that propelled the colonies to near

1514
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 15: the top of worldwide literacy rates and towarding lifestyle far

1515
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 15: more advanced than many contemporary Western European societies.

1516
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,560
Speaker 16: The influence of the Bible on American education was bolstered

1517
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 16: during the Great Awakening of the mid seventeen hundreds and

1518
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,799
Speaker 16: became the foundation for many of the ideals and beliefs

1519
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:10,759
Speaker 16: espoused by.

1520
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:11,759
Speaker 1: Our founding fathers.

1521
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 14: It's easy to overlook how powerful a single book can be,

1522
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 14: but for early Americans, the Bible was more than just scripture.

1523
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:24,480
Speaker 14: It was the cornerstone of education, the foundation of community,

1524
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 14: and the compass that helped shape the nation. That legacy

1525
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 14: still echoes in the story of American freedom.

1526
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: All Right, the Save America Act. Eric Schmidt, Senator from Missouri,

1527
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: had this to say about that yesterday.

1528
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,759
Speaker 17: It is finally coming to the Senate floor this week.

1529
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 17: I've been working with President Trump in the White House

1530
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 17: and will be introducing a substitute amendment that would include

1531
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 17: not just be a proof of citizenship toote in photo ID,

1532
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 17: but also get rid of this mass mail in balloting scam.

1533
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:07,679
Speaker 17: We've seen too many places allowing mail in balloting for military, elderly,

1534
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 17: people with disabilities or absence, reasonable things like that, and

1535
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 17: then also banning transgender mutilation for kids and also men

1536
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 17: and women's sports.

1537
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: These are widely popular.

1538
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 17: Be working with Senatorly and so many others on the

1539
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 17: Senate to get this done this.

1540
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 18: Week, and Mike Lee said this, we've got a turn

1541
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 18: of this bill, we've got to debate it, and we've

1542
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 18: got to stay on the bill until it becomes law.

1543
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,719
Speaker 1: There can be no surrender, there can be no ifs,

1544
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: hands or butts. There could be no cheap imitations here.

1545
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:42,759
Speaker 1: The Republic is on the line. Let's get this done,

1546
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: to which Chuck Schumer in number sixty six responded with this.

1547
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 19: And if Republicans try to burn time on this legislation

1548
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 19: here on the floor, we will oppose them for as

1549
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 19: long as it takes.

1550
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 1: All right, So it's the Save America Act. It is

1551
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: an eighty twenty issue. Everybody wants identification. Everybody wants proof

1552
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: that you are who you say you are and that

1553
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 1: you're a legal American citizen to vote. This is not

1554
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: a debatable issue. It is something even most Democrats want,

1555
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer has said we will one hundred percent

1556
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: block it as long as it takes. We'll see what

1557
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 1: the Republicans are made of. I hope they make the

1558
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 1: Democrats work really hard for this one. More in a minute.

1559
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Our buddy, Nick Shirley, Boy, this is a big bombshell.

1560
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: He has dropped one hundred and seventy million dollar child

1561
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: fraud bombshell. That is California childcare fraud bombshell. A viral

1562
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: video showing Nick Shirley visiting childcare addresses listed in state

1563
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: data and questioning enrollment numbers tied to government payments more

1564
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: than a hundred seventy million dollars in public funds improperly

1565
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: claimed by providers. The video, posted on social media yesterday,

1566
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: quickly gained traction online, with Surely asserting that the fraud

1567
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 1: involved childcare providers who collected government payments while children were

1568
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: not actually present at the listed locations. Meanwhile, yesterday President

1569
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 1: Trump signing an executive order to create a jd Vance

1570
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: led National Fraud Task Force on the heels of what

1571
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 1: was discovered in Minnesota. Here's a little bit of Stephen

1572
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: Miller talking about all of this fraud that's been uncovered

1573
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: with the Vice President Vance yesterday at the White House

1574
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: Number seventy two.

1575
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 20: Under President Trump's leadership, and then of course with JD

1576
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 20: and the head of the FTC, Andrew Ferguson, We're going

1577
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 20: to see the first ever effort in American history to

1578
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 20: reclaim the ultimately trillions of dollars are so on from taxpayers.

1579
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 20: I believe, I know President trumple is that when this

1580
01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 20: stuff is exposed, we will see that if all of

1581
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 20: it were stopped, he would be enough to balance the budget.

1582
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 20: The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to.

1583
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: People who don't belong here is.

1584
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 20: The primary cause of the national debt, and this is

1585
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 20: the first ever effort to shut that down.

1586
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 1: That's a bold statement. There's enough fraud in the system

1587
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: to balance the budget where it stopped. Does Steve Moore

1588
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: agree from the Committee to Unleashed Prosperity? Former Trump economists

1589
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: there at the White House has written the book The

1590
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: Trump Economic Miracle, with the forward by President Trump. He

1591
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: watched all this yesterday the Hotline newsletter it comes out

1592
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: from the Committee to on Leashed Prosperity in your email

1593
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: for free if you sign up Steve O. That's a

1594
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: bold statement. There's enough fraud we could balance the budget

1595
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: with it if we clawed it back.

1596
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 19: Hey Chris, good morning.

1597
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: Great to be with you. Happy.

1598
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 19: I love your tie. By the way, Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

1599
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 14: Thank you.

1600
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 19: I'll have to put green on. I almost forgot, so

1601
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:57,799
Speaker 19: thank you for reminding me. Listen, there is easily hundreds

1602
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 19: and hundreds of billions of dollars that we could saved

1603
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 19: by eliminating fraud and duplication. And where you've just got

1604
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 19: basically incompetence in government, and that means that people who

1605
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 19: depend on government services wouldn't feel a thing, they wouldn't

1606
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 19: be denied the services they're entitled to because we're just

1607
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 19: talking about fraud stories. And by the way, one of

1608
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 19: the things that's amazing about these fraud programs, a lot

1609
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 19: of them, the people who are perpetrating these frauds live

1610
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 19: and use Ubekistan and Pakistan and these other countries are

1611
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 19: a Russia, China, and so the money is flowing out

1612
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 19: of the United States. It's not even sort of stimulating

1613
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 19: the economy here.

1614
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 1: So it is an outrage.

1615
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 19: It's amazing that nothing has really been done about this

1616
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 19: since Reagan in nineteen eighty one eighty two had his

1617
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 19: anti fraud Grace Commission that identified hundreds of billions of

1618
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 19: dollars of savings. So could we balance the budget by

1619
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 19: eliminating fraud? Probably not, But could we cut that debt

1620
01:27:57,680 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 19: deficit maybe by half?

1621
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, we probably could.

1622
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: We've been talking this morning, Steve. It's a tough thing.

1623
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 1: Scott Besson has had a seat at the table through

1624
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: all of these decisions related to Iran, because obviously President

1625
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: Trump knew, Obviously his advisors knew. People who study this

1626
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 1: sort of stuff know and understand geographically historically the strait

1627
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: of Hormuz oil. You strike Iran, what does that mean

1628
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: for the economy. They're talking about these things. They know,

1629
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: they gamed it all out. They understand President Trump said

1630
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: this was not comfortable for me from an economic point

1631
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: of view. They would have been a lot easier to

1632
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 1: just ignore Iran. And things were trending in the right

1633
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:40,600
Speaker 1: direction economically, and I get it. People are going to

1634
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: the gas pump this morning and they're ticked off. They're like,

1635
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,759
Speaker 1: we just went through this with Biden. Things were starting

1636
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: to feel like we could breathe a little bit. And

1637
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: now we're right back at it. And so this is

1638
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 1: this very delicate thing President Trump has to try to

1639
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:56,520
Speaker 1: navigate doing the right thing, tackling in nuclear Islamist theocracy

1640
01:28:57,240 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: that met us harm and he believes he had the

1641
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,600
Speaker 1: evidence to suggest it was time to act. But politically

1642
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 1: it creates problems that he's trying to get out from

1643
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,800
Speaker 1: under economically, and so I don't know what you say

1644
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,640
Speaker 1: about that as an economist, as somebody who studies the economy,

1645
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: it's a tough needle to thread.

1646
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 19: It just is well, yeah, look, I have a couple

1647
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 19: of comments. By the way, you're right, I'm not a

1648
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 19: military expert. I am not a foreign policy expert. So

1649
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 19: those are decisions that are made by people who understand

1650
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 19: this stuff a lot better than I am. I'm more

1651
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,680
Speaker 19: of a politics economics guy. And I'll just have a

1652
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 19: couple observations. Number One, I am furious. I am absolutely

1653
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 19: furious about this. I don't know if you can see this.

1654
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 19: This is the headline from the Wall Street Journal. I

1655
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 19: know a lot of people are listening to the radio,

1656
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 19: are not watching this on video, but this headline from

1657
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 19: the Wall Street Journal says US allies rebuffed Trump's demands

1658
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,679
Speaker 19: for help in the straits of Her news.

1659
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: Now, how are they allies?

1660
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 19: I mean, my gosh, how much have we spent on NATO, Chris,

1661
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:57,719
Speaker 19: hundreds of billions of dollars over the last forty years,

1662
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,640
Speaker 19: and we're asking for Germany and for as in the

1663
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 19: UK and these other countries to help us restore the

1664
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,720
Speaker 19: flow of oil in the straits of hour Mews. This is,

1665
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 19: by the way, in their own self interest. When the

1666
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 19: gas price rises, it's not just in the United States,

1667
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 19: it's all over the world.

1668
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 1: So the fact that.

1669
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 19: Our allies have noted And but by the way, I

1670
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 19: don't you know, people have different opinions about what's happening.

1671
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:23,560
Speaker 19: I ran, but we're there. We've got to get to

1672
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 19: the straits of Her moves open. And our allies will

1673
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 19: not lift.

1674
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: A finger to help us.

1675
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,639
Speaker 19: When it pisses me off, it really does, Chris, because

1676
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 19: these are not fround. How do we call them allies

1677
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 19: when they won't do the minimalist thing to make sure

1678
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:38,640
Speaker 19: that once we get the straits open, the price of

1679
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,280
Speaker 19: gas at the pump will fall by at least another

1680
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 19: fifty cents to a dollar a gallon. So if I

1681
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 19: sound a little angry about this I am.

1682
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,439
Speaker 1: I share it. I think everyone does, and even in

1683
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: the UK, you know Keir Starmer, who doesn't want to

1684
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,800
Speaker 1: get involved in this at all, acknowledges we're up a

1685
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 1: creek if we don't do something about it, so they

1686
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 1: may be forced to act. But you know the President,

1687
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:03,240
Speaker 1: he's invoked some emergency powers to start drilling off the

1688
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: coast of California. This stuff would take time to get

1689
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:09,719
Speaker 1: or I guess pumping out of the ground the stuff

1690
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 1: that's already drilled in California, but it would take time

1691
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: obviously to get into the system. Let's go through this again,

1692
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: because the last time you and I talked last week,

1693
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: I still get these emails people say, stick, I don't

1694
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:24,520
Speaker 1: understand it. I thought we were a net energy exporter.

1695
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 1: Steve just said that last week. How are we a

1696
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: net expert? How are we a washing all this oil

1697
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 1: and we're still paying so much? Maybe we should explain

1698
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 1: it again. I think it's important if you want to

1699
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:33,880
Speaker 1: get out this.

1700
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 19: Yeah, because I get asked that all the time, Chris,

1701
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:38,479
Speaker 19: so I'm not surprised and it is confusing to people.

1702
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:40,799
Speaker 1: And so look, we are on that export.

1703
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 19: We thank God, by the way, we have drill baby

1704
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 19: drill policy. I mean, can you if Droll Biden were

1705
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,719
Speaker 19: president today and we had shut down all the oil

1706
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:52,759
Speaker 19: and I remember he basically had net zero fossil fuels,

1707
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:55,600
Speaker 19: we'd be paying seven, eight, nine, ten dollars of a

1708
01:31:55,680 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 19: gallon for gasoline today. And so Trump is dramatically increased

1709
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,559
Speaker 19: our domestic production. And that also happened because of the

1710
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 19: great shale oil revolution that cut you know, tripled to

1711
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 19: quadrupled our oil output just the last fifteen years. And

1712
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 19: so we are becoming in fact, just yesterday was with

1713
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 19: the Energy Department, and Trump has created the Agency of

1714
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 19: Energy Dominance. And I love that we should become energy dominant,

1715
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 19: but we're not there yet. And so we are dependent,

1716
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 19: unfortunately on the Middle Eastern oil because when those supplies

1717
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 19: are supply chains are disrupted the global price of oil

1718
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 19: because it's a global supply and a global demand, and so.

1719
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 1: That interrupt on that. Here's the thing, because here's the

1720
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 1: stata here. Twenty percent of the world's oil comes through

1721
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:45,439
Speaker 1: the strait of horror moves. Is that the statu You

1722
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 1: hear that sounds about right, Okay, So that doesn't sound

1723
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: that impressive. So eighty percent of the world's oil does not,

1724
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 1: and so you're saying that twenty percent not flowing through

1725
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 1: the straight of horror moves. Has that big a dent

1726
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,719
Speaker 1: in our oil or our gas prices here, Yes it does.

1727
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 19: But this is going to be short term too. I mean,

1728
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 19: for example, if you look at what's called the oil futures,

1729
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 19: which is, you know, you could buy a barrel of oil,

1730
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 19: you know, two months from now, four months from now,

1731
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:13,559
Speaker 19: six months from now. So we those are the markets

1732
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 19: prediction of where oil prices are headed, and they're pretty

1733
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 19: much headed right back down to the fifty to sixty

1734
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 19: dollars barrel before we went in.

1735
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 1: The right round.

1736
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 19: So this is a short term crisis. Hopefully it will

1737
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 19: be short term.

1738
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: You never know.

1739
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,280
Speaker 19: In the Middle East, by the way, that's the other

1740
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 19: point I wanted to make to you, Chris, is that

1741
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:32,639
Speaker 19: and I think I made this point last week, but

1742
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:36,759
Speaker 19: for you know, for the purpose of repeating, we cannot,

1743
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 19: we can no longer rely on the Middle East as

1744
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 19: a reliable source of energy. And that's why let's produce

1745
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:46,720
Speaker 19: everything we've got California, by the way, the irony is,

1746
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 19: you know, if you think what you're paying there in

1747
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:51,759
Speaker 19: say Pennsylvania is expensive for you know what, they're paying

1748
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:55,799
Speaker 19: for gas in California five to six dollars a gallon,

1749
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 19: and that's because of California's own policies. And this is

1750
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,960
Speaker 19: one of the most you know, a fuel rich places

1751
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,639
Speaker 19: on the planet, and they just simply won't drill for it.

1752
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:08,479
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, I've got about a minute. Mark Xandy

1753
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 1: is out with a gloom and doom report, the chief

1754
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 1: economist at Moody's. He's being moody over there at Moodies.

1755
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,719
Speaker 1: He says recession is once again a serious threat. Weak

1756
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 1: labor numbers and other economic indicators have turned lower in

1757
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 1: recent months, and the outlook on the economy will continue

1758
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 1: to darken if the strait remains closed, and so now

1759
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 1: a recession could become unavoidable, says Mark Xandi at Moody's.

1760
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 1: And Steve Moore says.

1761
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:38,479
Speaker 19: Well, that makes me happy to hear that, because Mark

1762
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 19: Sandy is almost always wrong, So if he's predicting recession,

1763
01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 19: probably nothing have one. He's one of the wrongest economists ever.

1764
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 19: But look, I mean, I do think this is the

1765
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 19: supply disruptions are going to cause any time the price

1766
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 19: of oil rises it's like a tax on the American consumer.

1767
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,480
Speaker 19: So we are going to take a hit here economically

1768
01:34:56,560 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 19: with respect to you know, a few months of rising prices,

1769
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,240
Speaker 19: and I guess this is the decision every American has

1770
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:06,679
Speaker 19: to make themselves. You know, it is the short term

1771
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:09,720
Speaker 19: pain of this worth the long term gain. I am

1772
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 19: not a foreign policy expert, so you know, everyone has

1773
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 19: their own opinion, but it is short term pain for

1774
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:15,599
Speaker 19: hopefully long term game.

1775
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:20,240
Speaker 1: Our great friend and trusted advisor every Tuesday, Steve more

1776
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,679
Speaker 1: over there at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. The hotline

1777
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 1: newsletter is free if you sign up for it. Steve O.

1778
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to catch up, my friend. Thank you,

1779
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:27,719
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris.

1780
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 19: Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

1781
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: See next week morning Minute. Happy Saint Patrick's Day. My friends,

1782
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:37,800
Speaker 1: glad to have you with us. Our telephone number is

1783
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 1: eight five fives to Gaul. If you want to get

1784
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 1: in here. Let me check I didn't do this yet.

1785
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaker 1: Hang on just a second. Stand by looking at the

1786
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:50,160
Speaker 1: Food for the Poor donor list this morning, some of

1787
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: you were already so gracious in jumping in and giving today.

1788
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Jonathan this morning from Philadelphia gave

1789
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 1: Joan in Philadelphi. If you gave this morning, Lorraine gave

1790
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:11,400
Speaker 1: this morning, Patrick gave, Amy, Jason, Danny Dave. A lot

1791
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 1: of you Philadelphia based folks are giving, and I appreciate

1792
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 1: that so much. And please, if it's on your heart

1793
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:20,600
Speaker 1: today and you're able to do it, this is a

1794
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 1: campaign that is I'm telling you, as far as a

1795
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 1: charity and a charitable organization. If you're a believer, if

1796
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:31,559
Speaker 1: you're somebody who values your Christian faith and you value

1797
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 1: charities that spread the gospel and hope, Food for the

1798
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 1: Poor does it. And if you're looking for a charitable

1799
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 1: organization that's not only a tax deductible entity, but it

1800
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: is also really doing huge amounts of good stretching that

1801
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: dollar that you can feel good with. I mean that

1802
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 1: has had a look under the hood. And you know,

1803
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 1: those of you who are analytical and you say there's

1804
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of charities. I don't know. I don't know

1805
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: Stick all that, well, I don't know Food for the Poor.

1806
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: I want you to research. I'm telling you these people

1807
01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:05,960
Speaker 1: do with a dollar what It just blows my mind.

1808
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,479
Speaker 1: A lot of charities have a lot of bureaucratic overhead

1809
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 1: and all that stuff not food for the poor. We're

1810
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 1: talking about an organization that rushes clean, living water to

1811
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 1: thirsty kids throughout the poorest countries in our hemisphere. And

1812
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,800
Speaker 1: a fifty dollars gift, and so many of you have

1813
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 1: done so much more than that, and I thank you

1814
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 1: for that. I'm trying to help this year with your

1815
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: support and your help. I can't do it. I'm only

1816
01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 1: the mouthpiece, but with your help, I set a goal

1817
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 1: that I thought we could get to forty thousand dollars

1818
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:41,720
Speaker 1: for Food for the Poor this month. At the end

1819
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 1: of this week, I believe again, with your help and

1820
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 1: your generosity, we can get to halfway there. We were

1821
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,559
Speaker 1: at something like thirteen thousand dollars the last I looked.

1822
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,519
Speaker 1: That's amazing, and that's been a week. The way you've

1823
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:56,960
Speaker 1: stepped up already in a week, we're at thirteen thousand dollars.

1824
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:58,719
Speaker 1: I'd like to see us try to get to twenty

1825
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars the halfway point of this campaign. And if

1826
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:05,720
Speaker 1: you want to know the difference that you make when

1827
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:07,679
