I'm 11 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna give you some a RAN updates, in particular what's 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: going on with the Courage. Are they preparing to invade 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: Iran and what could that be? Will give you some 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: updates on some of the various alliances there. Plus where 15 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: does China fall in all of this? Well, they're getting 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: hit pretty hard. They've actually downgraded their GDP expectations and 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: no doubt is directly tied to what's going on in Iran, 18 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: which supplied them with so much of their oil. Peter 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: Schwizer is going to be here at the bottom of 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: the hour, that is, when the minute hand points to 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: six o'clock at the bottom of the clock. That's how 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: you know it's the bottom of the hour. That'll be 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: on the show later on today. So we'll talk to 24 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: Peter about that, about and many other things. Donald Trump 25 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: has said that he's probably going to endorse in the 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: GOP runoff in Texas, but he won't say who yet. 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: And this is really interesting because I mentioned on the show. 28 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: Of course you've got the establishmentarian John Cornym There are 29 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: worse out there, but not my favorite. And then Ken Paxton, 30 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: who has pretty much a perfect MAGA record, not only 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: has been a leader on Second Amendment, First Amendment, immigration, 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: but he's also had our backup Brightbart. He's been one 33 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: of the few people in American politics as Texas Attorney General, 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: the most powerful attorney general of any Republican, who has 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: tried to take on Google and the big tech sensors 36 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: who have really stifled the free flow of information in 37 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: a major way in this country. A lot of people 38 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: talk about whether or not we have the freedom of 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,279 Speaker 1: speech in this country, whether or not our First Amendment 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: rights are being realized. One of the biggest threats to 41 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: that is Google, and Ken Paxson sees that very clearly, 42 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: so he would by far be my pick between the two. 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: But that said, I'm very mindful of that we cannot 44 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: lose this Senate seat. We can't lose any but particularly 45 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: in a red state, to be very galvanizing for Democrats. 46 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: They feel very embolden to spend the next two years 47 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: of our life after this November election trying to just 48 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: destroy Trump and destroy anyone who's sports Trump. So it's 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: not a good sign if that takes place. So who 50 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: is the better candidate in a general We don't know exactly, 51 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: but we do know that perhaps the cornn will be 52 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: more sanitized and more moderate to a degree, and so 53 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: perhaps he could pull some people in who just kind 54 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: of like business as usual. But Paxson will be more 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: galvanizing for the base. But Trump says he might endorse 56 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: and ask the other to drop out. Why would he 57 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: do this, Well, because that race is gonna get very expensive. 58 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: It's gonna cost. 59 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: Republicans millions and millions and millions of dollars, maybe one 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: hundred million. That sounds like a lot, but that's what 61 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: I was told. That's possibility, and it's gonna be sort 62 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: of a waste in a way. If there was just 63 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: a consensus pick so unprecedented move by Trump saying he'll 64 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: get involved, but he hasn't actually announced how, which is 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: fascinating to me because I don't think we've ever seen 66 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: anything like that, and we don't know where he's gonna 67 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: come down. My guest was it would be corny, and 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: John Thune has already requested that he endorsed Cornan. But 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: you know where I'm rooting. I'm rooting for packs and 70 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm rooting they pick up Packson. But here's the thing, 71 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: and I learned this from graduate school negotiations. I took 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: only two graduate school classes. One was in business, one 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: was in negotiations. And my one graduate school class in 74 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: negotiations that I learned when I was at UC Berkeley 75 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: was one of the keys to a good negotiation. Everyone 76 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: take out your number two pencil, even you Sean, take 77 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: out your number two pencil. 78 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: Write this down. 79 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Grow the pie. Don't just be a hard nose where 80 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: you come in and you demand you're going to bend 81 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: to my will. Grow the pie. Try to add stuff 82 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: to negotiation. And that's what Trump could potentially do here 83 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: is he could say, look, I'm not gonna endorse you, 84 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: but I've got a nice job for you to clear out. 85 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: And what is that job? Maybe it's something even better. 86 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: So that's the whole thing is that. Don't make it 87 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: just that we're going to corn an in, packs it out, 88 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: or packs an in corn it out. Come up with 89 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: something else, add something to incentivize the other person to 90 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: take a secondary role that might actually be even more powerful. 91 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 2: Who knows. 92 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: So that's up there, something we should really keep an 93 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: eye on. I'll also give you some economy updates later 94 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: in the show. Oil is going up eighty bucks. We 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: don't want to see it go much higher because again 96 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: it will surge as it gets warmer and we have 97 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: to switch over to the summer grade oil, which is 98 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: more expensive. And so we got that going on now 99 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: is not looking good. I'll give you some updates on 100 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: that later on in the show. And one other note 101 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: is that I do think that when we're talking about Texas, 102 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: it's important to point out that we have vastly overestimated 103 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: the quality of the Democrat candidate, maybe not me this 104 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: show and on my podcast, dating back since James Tallerico, 105 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: who's a Democrat nominee in Texas, announced his candidacy, I 106 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: smelled something that was very fishy. This felt like a 107 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: donor joint. This felt like an AstroTurf effort, a fake 108 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: grassroots effort, because people saw if Jasmine Crockett is the nominee, 109 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: there's no chance she would win in a state like Texas, 110 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: and so people came in to try to stop it. 111 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: So what do they do? They tried to find a 112 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: white Christian male and I don't know his orientation. I 113 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: think he's cis gendered. He likes to use that expression, 114 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: but a white Christian male. And I've started to play 115 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: the clips of tall Rico to make you seem like, 116 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: to make it seem like he might be completely nuts. 117 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: And I've got more of them right now that I'm 118 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: gonna share with you, plus some tweets which everyone has 119 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: been digging through this guy's Twitter account, and he might 120 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: be the wokest American, the single wokeust American now vying 121 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: for that seat in Texas. 122 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: But before I started. 123 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: Going through any of this, he does have a really 124 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: huge endorsement that I couldn't resist playing for you. 125 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: Here's a blast in the past. 126 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: This is the young man we refer to as Robert 127 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: Patio Rourck aka Beto Let's play cut one place. 128 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never been more excited. I mean, let's start 129 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 4: with James tall Errico. This is one of, if not 130 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 4: the most talented politicians I have ever seen. Those of 131 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 4: us who had watched his career in the Texas House 132 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 4: have known that he's incredibly talented. But for the rest 133 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 4: of the nation, they got to see him in the 134 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: closing months of this really competitive primary, fought against another 135 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: generational talent in Jasmine Crockett, who made James an even 136 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: better candidate. We couldn't ask for anyone better to be 137 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: at the top of the ticket. You know. 138 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: We referred to him as Robert patio' rourke because he's 139 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: an irishman. He's a fake LATINX. He cosplays as a LATINX. 140 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: He culturally appropriates Latink's culture. Beto is a concoction. He 141 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: was given the name Beto because it makes him sound 142 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: more ethnic, or at least that's why he's gone by it. 143 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: But he is as Irish as Sean. 144 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: Are you Irish? 145 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: It's the I've got some Irish going on, So it's 146 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: the Josephine Devine, my grandmother, beloved, beloved, She was a 147 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: saintly woman all right, So let me read you some 148 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: of these Tallarico quotes that people have on earth. He 149 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: refers to illegal aliens as undocumented Americans. 150 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: How do you think that's gonna go in Texas? He says, 151 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: this is awesome? You would. I'm gonna believe this one. 152 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,559 Speaker 1: White skin gives me and every white American immunity from 153 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: the virus. This is May twenty, so this is like 154 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: peak virus. White skin gives me immunity. But we spread 155 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: it wherever we go through our words, our actions, and 156 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: our systems. So we're spreading the virus. The whites are immune, 157 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: and we're spreading the virus. We don't have to be 158 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: showing symptoms like a white hood or a Confederate flag 159 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: to be contagious. So I think he's being tongue in 160 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: cheek here to some degree. But I think that I 161 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: don't know what he hates white people, obviously. He tweeted 162 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen that when he was a teenage boy, he 163 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: was the only man who would go to Planned Parenthood rallies. 164 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: He referred to the Supreme Court as Republicans stole the 165 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court stole our rights. Let's 166 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: get into some of these clips here of him cut 167 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: to please. 168 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 5: This summer, more than half our population became second class citizens. 169 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 5: Every one of our neighbors with a uterus became the 170 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: property of the state. And nothing, nothing is more Unchristian 171 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 5: than that. Before we go further, I want to acknowledge 172 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 5: that our trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans 173 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 5: Texas is something we have to do every day at 174 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 5: the state Capitol, and you better believe I'll be getting 175 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 5: sermons on that too. 176 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say. He didn't even 177 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: know what to say. 178 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 1: The trans community needs abortions, and if they're denied abortions 179 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: that they're subjects of the state or their property of 180 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: the state. He called on Joe Biden to use federal 181 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: buildings to provide abortion care. So like what we used, 182 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: like the DMV, Like you're just gonna set up abortion 183 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: clinics of the DMB, maybe the post office, Maybe the 184 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: USPS can start doing abortions. This guy's completely nuts, and 185 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: he is the most egregious panderer to the LGBT two spirit, 186 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: three spirit, four spirit, five spirit, six spirit community, even 187 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: those who like the pregnant man emoji. He puts the 188 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: plus in the LGBTQ plus. We don't know what the 189 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: plus is, but James Tallerco certainly does. He certainly is 190 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: a plus. He's definitely a plus. Was he vetted? Did 191 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: anyone vet him? I don't know, because this is so bad. 192 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: And I told you I said, yes day in the show, 193 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: we're going to crush him, said it twice. We're going 194 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: to crush him.

Global financial chaos has become more common. 199 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: That's why I got educated. These guys are educators. They 200 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: tell us about what's happening with the US dollar, about 201 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: how massive government money printing balloon dar inflation and our 202 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: debt it's now for forty trillion. All this could happen again. 203 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: And that's why my friends at Lear Capital have helped me, 204 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: and they can help you.

They teach you things they didn't teach you 207 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: in school. They educated me about alternate assets like gold 208 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: and precious metals with might be just what you need 209 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: to protect your wealth in uncertain times. Remember, even Morgan 210 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: Stanley's chief investment officer recommended a change from a sixty 211 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: to forty portfolio strategy to sixty forty twenty twenty with 212 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: twenty percent in gold. 213 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: That's big. 214 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: They're moving into gold and you should too, So take charge, 215 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: do something big. Lear Capital. Lear alex dot com is 216 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: the website, and I'll get you that phone number right 217 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: after the break eight hundred nine nine. 218 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: Two two two five five Lear alex dot. 219 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: Com right quick market updates. We're seeing oil prices surge, 220 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: Dow dropped. Aron said it blew up a tanker. So 221 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: now people are worried that the war. Mico Badley and 222 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: this is a big thing that we're going to get 223 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: into with Peter in the next segment is I'm gonnak 224 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: specifically about why Trump needs to declare victory pretty soon 225 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: and move on. Trump told George Bush to do this 226 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: in Iraq, and you really should have because it would 227 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: have ended that war a lot earlier. And then maybe 228 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: it would have been a little bit of fudging, but 229 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: I think it could have been a self fulfilling prophecy, 230 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: because this is what's going to make people very jittery. 231 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: It's gonna make things very volatile. We need to keep 232 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: this thing. 233 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: Quick and again it's only been less than a week, 234 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: so we've got a little bit of time to sort 235 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: the stuff out. But we cannot get too wedded into 236 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: what the final outcome is going to be. There's gonna 237 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: be a lot more freedom there, and there's gonna be 238 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot more willingness, I think, to engage with the 239 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: rest of the world and not feel nukes with whatever 240 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: comes next. And I think that that is already a 241 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: w So we've got to keep this thing quick and 242 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: tight because if not, then the market vulnerabilities are going 243 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: to hit Americans. It's going to be really, really gnarly 244 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: and nasty politically. So all that to come. But I 245 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: want to get back what I really want to talk 246 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: about today, which is how nuts James Tallerrico is. 247 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: Let us play cut three plays. 248 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 5: I want us all to be aware of is that 249 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 5: that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more 250 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 5: than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six, which 251 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 5: honestly represented. Hefner sur it surprised me too, because I 252 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 5: am not well versed in this this issue area. I'm 253 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 5: not a scientist. I'm a politician, a lot worse than 254 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 5: a scientist. 255 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: What's interesting to me about this is that, of course 256 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: they're not six biological genders. It should be disqualifying. It 257 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: should be that's it, you're done. You're not allowed. Not 258 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: only are you not allowed to be a politician, you 259 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: should not be allowed around children like it should be 260 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: one of the things we should have restraining orders against 261 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: this guy. He probably should be institutionalized. But for Democrats, 262 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: that's not even disqualifying. And he set it in a mask, 263 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: by the way, when they were very socially distanced. There 264 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: much sure that mask was about. But this is what's happening, 265 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: is that they have a high tolerance level to say 266 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: the most insane things you've ever heard. I want to 267 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: play a clip. There's something going on in Maine. One 268 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: of the most compelling races right now that we're looking 269 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: at is what's going on in Maine where the Democrats 270 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: are on the precipice of nominating a guy who is 271 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: a literal Nazi tattoo after calling all people type of 272 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: people who I work with here at bright Bard News 273 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: and Salem calling people in this audience Nazis for having 274 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: normative American viewpoints. There's a guy running as a Democrat 275 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: with the actual Nazi tattoo who just basically showed up 276 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: on a neo Nazi podcast over the weekend, and they're 277 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: very tolerant of him. 278 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 2: I want to play cut ten. 279 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: This is Reuben Gego, who is a Democrat Senator's played 280 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: cut ten Police. 281 00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 6: There's been a lot of establishment Democrats that everyone loves. 282 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 6: I don't have to go to the names, but you 283 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 6: can all look it up that have gone on other 284 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 6: podcasts of people that have done anti Jewish, anti Semitic, 285 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 6: and conspiracy theories.

Ken Paxson said that he's not going 359 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: to drop out even if Trump ass him now of 360 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: that primary race, and now we're hearing that he would 361 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: be willing to if the Senate passes the Save America Act. 362 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: Really interesting and they probably have to blow up the 363 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: filibuster in order to do that. So that race just 364 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: continues to be fascinating. That Texas, that Texas Senate race, 365 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: that is going to be one of the highlights of 366 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: the whole year. It's already proven to be of super, 367 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: super entertaining and I don't know how it's going to 368 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: shake out. I really don't, all right. Peter Schweitzer is here. 369 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: He's a good friend, the former editor of Big Piece, 370 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: now the president of the Government Accountability Institute, senior contributor 371 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: bry Bart News and The Invisible Coup, his latest number 372 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: one New York Times bestseller been on the list for 373 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: six weeks, which is quite a feat. Peter is great 374 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: to have you on. I've got a couple of huge 375 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: vectors for you that I want to get to. That 376 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: are I think, really, I think just perfectly in your wheelhouse. 377 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: But you're Drilled Down podcast that Drill Down, which I 378 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: listened to regularly. I don't think I miss an episode. 379 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: I listened to one on the way in this morning. 380 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: You get into something that I think is really important, 381 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: which is that the history of this region has gone on. 382 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: In Iran in particular, there's been dispute, military disputes for 383 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: decades here, and there is a strong case that could 384 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: be made that Trump isn't actually starting a new war, 385 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: he's actually anyone. I don't know if I buy it, 386 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: but I think this is a very compelling perspective. 387 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: Can you share that with me? 388 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, look, if you believe that history 389 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 3: is not just short term events and quick reactions, you 390 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 3: believe that history moves in the form of decades, I 391 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 3: think you can absolutely make the strong case that this 392 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: is about defeating an enemy that's already been at war 393 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 3: with us. It's not just an Iran chance death to America. 394 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 3: I mean literally, they have tried to assassinate American presidents, 395 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: secretaries of state, and they've certainly killed America the soldiers 396 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: in the field around the world. So I think it 397 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 3: all depends on your view of history. If you think 398 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: history just moves in little dots that are closely aligned. 399 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 3: You're not seeing this, but I think absolutely this is 400 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 3: attempting to end a war, and it goes to the 401 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: heart of the question of what is the problem in 402 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 3: the Middle East. We are past the period of time 403 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 3: where the Saudis and the Israelis, for example, are at 404 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: each other's throats. 405 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 2: They're not anymore. They don't agree on everything. 406 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: They're going to have their disagreements, but it's not this 407 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: death struggle. The death struggle in the Middle East is 408 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: almost overwhelmingly and completely being fueled by Iran. If you 409 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 3: eliminate that, you have the prospect of the Gulf States 410 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 3: and Israel not agreeing on everything, but actually getting along 411 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 3: in the Middle East, actually being a potentially stable region. 412 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 413 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: Trump's Middleast policy has been exquisite and a lot of 414 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: it's very simple, getting people to work together economically. I mean, 415 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: I always note this with the Abraham Accord, that Trump 416 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: basically went over there with a checkbook and said, what's 417 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: it going to take for you to actually be a 418 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: business player in the region instead of just fighting these 419 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: ideological wars. But for the Shiaid extremists who run the 420 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: Iranian regime who look at it like a religious war 421 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: for them that this is obviously not that they don't 422 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: really want to come more into the fold economically. But 423 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: it seems like much of the rest of the region 424 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: is on board with Trump's ideals. The Saudis come to mind, 425 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: the UAE comes to mind, Qatar comes to mind, and 426 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: so we have it looks like Iran is basically no 427 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: allies in the region. Russia and China might be exceptions. 428 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: We'll get to that momentarily. But speak to the remaking 429 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: of the Middle East, the fact that under the Trump doctrine, 430 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: whatever that may be, the Middle East is now kind 431 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: of starting to move away from this religious extremism to 432 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: some degree and move towards just commerce. 433 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, look look at look at the state actors in 434 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 3: the Middle East UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt. They 435 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 3: are interested in commerce, they are interested in cooperation getting along. 436 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: The instability is overwhelmingly caused by Iranian backed proxies, the 437 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 3: Hutis for example, or hes Bulah or Hamas. These movements 438 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 3: require by necessity, external sponsors, and that has been Iran 439 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: sometimes acting as the go between for other outside actors 440 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 3: like the Russians in the Chinese. If you get rid 441 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 3: of Iran as being the sort of lynchpin of this extremism, 442 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 3: those movements are going to fade away. 443 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 2: They may not go. 444 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 3: Completely away, but they will be shadows of their former selves. 445 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 3: So the prospect here is very interesting. Imagine that you 446 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 3: have sort of a choke point, and that choke point 447 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 3: is Iran, and if you can squeeze and cut off 448 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 3: that choke point, everything that extends after it, which would 449 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 3: be these extremist movements, are now suddenly no longer going 450 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: to have the necessity of what they need to get along. 451 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: I think it's a brilliant strategy and he may actually 452 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 3: pull this off, all right. 453 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: So one other thing that's really interesting going along with 454 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: his theme is that Iran I don't know if this 455 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: is on purpose or not, but according to Azerbaijean had 456 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: droned parts of Azerbaijan, that's another Shia majority state, and 457 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: Azerbaijan wants to work with Trump. We'll call Trump forging 458 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: the peace over there. And it just feels like Iran 459 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: is losing allies potentially. I don't even understand this move. 460 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a mistake, maybe just because there's such 461 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: disarray over there. Did you cast this one and did 462 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: you have a reaction to it? 463 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 464 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: I mean what it speaks to me is their desperation, right, 465 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 3: this is this is not a rational strategic move that 466 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 3: has some ultimate military goal. It's just slashing out. You know, 467 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 3: the same thing they fired something at Turkey. Why on 468 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: earth would you fire something at Turkey? I mean, Erdawan 469 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 3: is certainly not uh you know somebody who is going 470 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: to be completely unsympathetic to the Iranians. But they're a 471 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: NATO ally and you're lobbing missiles at them. So to me, 472 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 3: it speaks of the desperation with which Iran finds itself. 473 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 3: Now they are isolated, so they are lashing out. You 474 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 3: even have this bizarre situation, by the way, where the Chinese, 475 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 3: who are one of their sponsors. Iran said we're going 476 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 3: to try to shut down the Strait of hor moves 477 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 3: and China said, no, no, no, don't do that. Forty percent 478 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: of our oil comes through that. We don't want you 479 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 3: to do that. So even their chief sponsors are now 480 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 3: frustrated with Iran. 481 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: What Iran is trying to do. 482 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: That's why I think you're hearing rumors about these back 483 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 3: channel dialogues that are occurring between some elements of the 484 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 3: Iranian leadership and the Trump administration to say, hey, can 485 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: we figure out a way to strike some kind of 486 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 3: a deal. 487 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: Perfect segue, because this is where I really want to 488 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: get your take, which so much of your research is 489 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: focused on China, including the Visible koub You've written to 490 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: prior books on China, and I think everything Trump does 491 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: is China nected. Most the vast majority of China of 492 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: Iran's oil exports went to China, so China is an 493 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: ally of Iran. 494 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: But they've been pretty passive. 495 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: You're not really getting involved assess both the history and 496 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: the present between Iran and China. 497 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 3: Well, I tell you what Donald Trump has done in 498 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 3: the span of just fifty eight days is taken out 499 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 3: two of the biggest allies that China has in the 500 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 3: developing world. First, he took out Maduro in Venezuela, and 501 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: I understand that you know, not everything is done there yet. 502 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 3: You still have Meduo allies that are running of that country, 503 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: but they've certainly been hamstringed. And then fifty eight days later, 504 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 3: you go after Iran, which is another key regional ally 505 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 3: of the Chinese, and China has really been able to 506 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 3: do nothing in response to seeing these two bedrocks of 507 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: their Third World strategy being taken out. China needs Iran 508 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 3: and Venezuela for cheap oil. They buy their oil at 509 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: about fifteen dollars a barrel, less than everybody else pays 510 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: for it because Iran and Venezuela are sanctioned, and the 511 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: Chinese have also been able to pay them in non 512 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: US dollars. China wants to move the world economy away 513 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 3: from a dollar backed economy, and it wants their huan 514 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 3: to be a reserve currency of the world, and their 515 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 3: strategy was to do that in oil markets. Well, now 516 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 3: that is completely gone because they're going to have to 517 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 3: go out on the international markets pay in cold hard 518 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 3: dollars in order to get the energy supplies they need. 519 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: One other thing I would add that is being overlooked. 520 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 3: Both Iran and Venezuela huge contracts for Chinese firms, more 521 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: than one hundred billion dollars in contracts for both of 522 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 3: those countries, and some of the biggest contractors are Huawei 523 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: and Zte, which are big Chinese tech firms. Why do 524 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 3: we care about that? These tech firms are now going 525 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 3: to be out of tens of billions of dollars in revenue. 526 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 3: Those are the two tech firms that China is relying 527 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 3: on to create the massive infrastructure they need to compete 528 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 3: with us in artificial intelligence. So the ripple effects of 529 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 3: what we are seeing with these actions by Trump and 530 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 3: both Venezuela and in Iran and its effect on China, 531 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 3: we still have not been able to calculate everything that 532 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 3: they're doing in this space. 533 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: Fantastic points all around. China's leaders actually set their economic 534 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: growth target below five percent for the first time in 535 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: over thirty years. And we know why because of this stuff. 536 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: Exactly what Peter laid out. All right, Peter got a 537 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: couple minutes left, and I was so excited about this. 538 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 2: You recalled on. 539 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: The drill down. Also a blast from the past. We're 540 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: calling this a pottery barn rule, where you break it, 541 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: you bought it. This was the George Bush era, Condoleeza 542 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: Rice era, where if we make any action in the 543 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: Middle East, we got to see you throw for the 544 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: next couple decades. Donald Trump said, no, you don't have to. 545 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: At the time, he said, you can just declare victory 546 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: and move on. I'd forgotten about this. You brought it 547 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: back up. Tell me how this applies here? You got 548 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: two minutes. 549 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, look, this was a rule that I think 550 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 3: was most publicly and unstated by Colon Powell. You saw 551 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 3: some of it in the Clinton administration with Madeline all Wright. 552 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: But that is the argument that if you go to 553 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: war with somebody, your enemy, and you blow things up 554 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: and destroy things, you have an obligation to pay for 555 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 3: the reconstruction. And so that's the pottery barn rule, right, 556 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 3: you go into a pottery barn and you knock something 557 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: over and break it, well. 558 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: You need to pay the store for it because you 559 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: broke it. 560 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 3: What Donald Trump said at the time, what Donald Trump 561 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 3: is basically saying now is no, I don't agree with that. 562 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 3: If Iran has been on this sort of suicidal desire 563 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 3: to destroy the United States, to build nuclear weapons, to 564 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: threaten the West, we're going to take them out. 565 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: We don't have a moral obligation to rebuild them. 566 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 3: We don't have a reason that we have to send 567 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 3: aid workers and soldiers to reconstruct Iran. That is their responsibility, 568 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: and we certainly want them to thrive later on. But 569 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: we're certainly not going to use taxpayer dollars to do it. 570 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 3: I think that is a completely sensible and an appropriate approach. 571 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: We don't want to incentivize people to think that, well, 572 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: if we piss off the Americans and they bomb us, 573 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 3: we can get a lot of eight dollars. So bravo 574 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 3: for Donald Trump going into the pottery barn, knocking over 575 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 3: a bunch of items and saying, I'm not paying for 576 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: a damn thing. 577 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: So you're saying what we have to do is just 578 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: declare mission accomplished. 579 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: But I know it's not going to be quite that simple. 580 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: What are the benchmarks do you think where we can 581 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: just say mission accomplish, we're going home. 582 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 3: Well, I think if we can see in Iran the 583 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 3: emergence of a more moderate government, it's not going to 584 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 3: be a Western democracy, a more moderate government open it 585 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 3: up for business. We will welcome American companies, European companies, 586 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 3: others investing in rebuilding that country. So it really comes 587 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 3: down to incentivizing them to create a stable, sensible government 588 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 3: that will allow investment dollars to flow. So the onus 589 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 3: is on them, It's not on us to finance the 590 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 3: reconstruction of these of these countries. 591 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: Well, the first thing they need to do, Peter, is 592 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: they need to get access to Zoom or Microsoft teams, 593 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: because they got to start having their meetings online because 594 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: them gathering in person, it's just mass death and destruction. 595 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: Pierce Watcher, the Drill Down Podcast, The Invisible Kup Book, 596 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: Breitbart contributor, was the original natural Security editor for bright 597 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: Bart News, and of course the president of Gai Love you, Peter, 598 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: see you soon. All right, let me paint you a picture. 599 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: It's midnight, Simon's blaring. You've only seconds to grab your 600 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: child and run, and now imagine your elderly getting downstairs 601 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,239 Speaker 1: feels impossible. And after all that, you end up in 602 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: a bomb shelter for hours, maybe even days, because you 603 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: can't make that trek again. This is what's happening across 604 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: Israel as Operation Epic Fury continues. Children are being traumatized, 605 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: families are exhausted, and homes have been destroyed. And still 606 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: the world attacks Israel while it's people on the ground 607 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: or just trying to survive. That's why the International Fellowship 608 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews is there on the ground bringing 609 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: life saving aid and emergency supplies to the most vulnerable. 610 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: If you've ever wondered what it looks like to stand 611 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: for Israel and stand for good against evil, this is it. 612 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: Join Christians around the world in praying for Israel and 613 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: her people and for the brave troops putting their lives 614 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: on the line in this battle between good and evil. 615 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: Stand in prayer today by visiting support IFCJ dot org. 616 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: That's support dot if CJ dot org. The Claire Mission accomplished. 617 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: I think that's got to be the approach. You do 618 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: have a great team here on the show, by the way, 619 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: Sean McConnell. We've got Greg Evan, who's our executive producer, 620 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: Roger Wicker, Junior, Rick Lock, Garrett Chollie, Matt Zibel, Brandon Couples, 621 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: Misty Callahan, John Cassio, pitch In Daniel West as well. 622 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 2: So you have a big team for one hour show. 623 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: You know, these better be good shows. 624 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: I got a team that size a lot more that 625 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: I want to get to still in the brief time 626 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: that we have the last word on Iran for today 627 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: that I want to share. As I told you to 628 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: keep an eye on the Kurds. So sometimes no news 629 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: means something's brewing. So Iraqi Kurds saying they're not going 630 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: to be involved in any sort of invasion of Iraq, 631 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: of Iran Syrian Curds. I'm hearing nothing, total silence, Iranian 632 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: Curds saying they're ready for anything. But there could be 633 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: a chance that Israel is arming them right now to 634 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: make some sort of aggressive action. And I mark this 635 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: down because one thing that could happen through all this, 636 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: we could end up seeing some sort of fractionalization, maybe 637 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: some even new countries being formed in Iran because it 638 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: is such a diverse place, there's all these regional powers. 639 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: The Iranian regime obviously would not like that sort of thing, 640 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: but perhaps there's going to be talk of a new 641 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: Kurdistan that could emerge. 642 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: And I like to entertain this stuff. 643 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm far from an expert in literal nation building in 644 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: this hard, but I do think that this was a 645 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: creative approach that was talked a little bit about in 646 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: the Iraq War, and I always found those conversations very 647 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: fascinating that maybe you could divide it up into a 648 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: few countries and that could create some more peace. And 649 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: this is a possibility here. So anything that you're hearing 650 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: on this I wouldn't trust it yet, but it feels 651 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: like something's happening, and I've got a good instinct for 652 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: this stuff, so I do want to share it with you, 653 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: So keep an eye on that. 654 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: As we go ahead, I. 655 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: Do one more taller eco clip as a hard pivot. 656 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: I can't resist playing this, And just in case I 657 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: don't get to it tomorrow, can we play cut five guys? 658 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 5: Convert is violence, pollution is violence, and yes, prison is violence. 659 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 5: Dismantle this system of violence, Build something new, something better, 660 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 5: something rooted in love. It's hard to imagine a world 661 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 5: without prison, but was also hard to imagine a world 662 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 5: without telegrams and cassette tas. Just because it's hard to 663 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 5: imagine it doesn't mean it should. 664 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: I could imagine a world without a pelgriant, So just 665 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: to let you know, not one of the things that 666 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: I feel like is a god given right. He said 667 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: prison is violence, and he wants to imagine a world 668 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 1: without prisons. This is a guy who thinks he should 669 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: be a senator from Texas. He should not be elected 670 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: to anything with his viewpoint. Where do you put the 671 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: violent bad guys? Then where do they go? Just out 672 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: in the communities, again, to quote Prager again, if you 673 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: are kind to the cruel, you're cruel to the kind. 674 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: Then I know that's a borrowed one, but I always 675 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: hear from Dennis. It's that is such an amazing thing 676 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: that he said he doesn't want violent criminals locked up. 677 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: He wants them on the streets with your children, because 678 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: he thinks prison in and of itself is violence. And 679 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: what does he propose Nothing. He proposes love. That's all 680 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: he's got. Just say the word love and that will 681 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: bring people to your side. Is noteworthy those of you 682 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: watching the visuals. He does this from the pulpit, which 683 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: is it's pretty satanic. I mean, is definitely blasphemous. I said, 684 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: we're thrown around the satanic stuff a lot lately. It 685 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: feels like there's a big demonic presence. I called for 686 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: an exorcism for the country recently. I think we need it. 687 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: But this is just so nutty that we're just going 688 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: to allow for because he speaks politely, because he seems 689 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,959 Speaker 1: very gentle, We're going to allow for him to call 690 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: for criminals to be out on the street, essentially with 691 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: the ability to attack our children. Because why he believes 692 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: in love is that loving for our communities. No, I'll 693 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: tell you might be going to prison. Britney Spears arrested 694 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: for DUI in California. And I bring this up because 695 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,240 Speaker 1: those of you who have been with me for a while, 696 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: you know that remember that news cycle where they put 697 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: out this documentary on Britney Spears and was saying free Brittany, 698 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: And they were mad that her dad had her under 699 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: conservatorship or something where he basically got to make some 700 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 1: decisions for her, particularly financially, while she was an adult. 701 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: I was the brave soul who stood in the breach 702 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: and said, flat out, this woman's crazy, she's nuts, and 703 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: he's lucky she is a dad who's still looking out 704 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: for her even though she's, you know, getting older and 705 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: is full blown adult, and everyone's acting like the dad 706 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: was a bad guy. And I watched a documentary and 707 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: I went, I want to see what's on the cutting 708 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: room floor. I'm pretty sure this woman is completely nuts, 709 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: is a danger to herself and is it danger to others? 710 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: And I don't think I've had a take that's aged 711 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: better than that in my entire time doing the commentary business. 712 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: Or one other item, Vladimir's Lenski. He's worried that the 713 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: world could forget about Ukraine because of the Iran operation, 714 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: And I have to say, I hope he's right, because 715 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: is there a news cycle that I want to talk 716 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: about any less than the Ukraine Russia War? Probably zero. 717 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: So if we could move on from that completely, that 718 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: would be a very positive develop at least development at 719 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: least in the news business, because I do feel as 720 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: though we were at a moment in time where that 721 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: one is not going to be entirely solvable, and we 722 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: got to start we head towards the primaries, head towards 723 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: the midterms, we got to start trying to get the 724 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 1: conversation back on what we're doing to make America more free, 725 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: more prosperous, and make life better and more exciting and 726 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: affordable for Americans, and talking too much Russia Ukraine is 727 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: not going to be a good way to do that. 728 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: We wish you more time, but we don't.
