Well, 85 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: the fact of the matter is we are out of 86 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: control a lot. God's on the throne. We believe that here. 87 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: But the one thing that you can feel great about 88 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: is when you partner with people like Food for the 89 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: Poor I do because this is this is you know, 90 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: these are people we're talking about Latin American and Caribbean 91 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: countries that have nothing, nothing.

That Food for the Poor goes into these 96 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 3: poor towns and villages just to get some drinking water 97 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 3: for Pete's sakes, That's what this campaign is designed to do, 98 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 3: get clean drinking water to people who have to sometimes 99 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: walk miles to get it. 100 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: Do you know that fifty dollars to. 101 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: Food for the Poor can get two children from drinking 102 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: water this year for the whole year. That's what they do. 103 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 3: It's if you're looking for a powerful organization to partner 104 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: with as we head into the Easter season, a Christian 105 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: organization that doesn't just give living water and food to 106 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: people in need, but the living word of Jesus Christ. 107 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: If you want to partner with an organization you can 108 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 3: feel good about and actually feel like are doing something 109 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: positive instead of just consuming what is negative all the time. 110 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: This is it. 111 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: It's also a tax deductible give if you're so inclined, 112 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: whatever's on your heart doesn't have to be fifty dollars. 113 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 3: They can make fifty dollars stretch to help two kids 114 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 3: get clean drinking water for an entire year one hundred dollars. 115 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: You've doubled that. Obviously, that's four people that you're helping 116 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: nourish and hydrate their bodies. Easter's a time to remember 117 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 3: the story that changed the world. We want to be that. 118 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 3: We want to be that light. We want to help 119 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: the people at Food for the Poor, and we set 120 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: a goal of forty thousand dollars to get there. We 121 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: are two almost two weeks in. We're almost to the 122 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: halfway point. We're five thousand dollars away from halfway, and 123 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: I'm wondering, do you think I'm going to split the 124 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 3: difference over today and tomorrow fast Eddie? Do you think 125 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: we can get twenty five hundred dollars today and twenty 126 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: five hundred dollars tomorrow. That would be five thousand dollars 127 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: by Friday, and that would be our official halfway mark, 128 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: halfway into the campaign. I'd feel good about that. If 129 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: we can get that done today. 130 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: We have faith here, Chris, we have faith. So I 131 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 4: am going to say, yes, God will provide. Well, let's 132 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 4: I agree wholeheartedly. 133 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: That's what I've been praying about.

We'll send you a link 177 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: to day to donate, and there's a total free number. 178 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: They're standing by to take your call right now at 179 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: eight five five three thirty forty six seventy three. I 180 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: just wanted to start the show on that high note, 181 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: on that bit of good news. We are almost to 182 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 3: the halfway point of our goal to really help people, 183 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: and I think that ultimately is what we're all called 184 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 3: to do, certainly as believers, to be helpful, to spread 185 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 3: the gospel and help other people. And if that is 186 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: the way we can use this show, I feel pretty 187 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: good about that, all right. I would not feel great 188 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: about things if I was over there at MS now 189 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 3: Fast Eddy. Apparently Joe and Mika have been reduced by 190 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 3: an hour. I don't know what that means to you. 191 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 3: But in my business, when I'm told that we're losing 192 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 3: an hour of show, that's generally not good business news. 193 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: I would agree. 194 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: But for some reason in this media landscape, remember Rachel 195 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: Maddow got down to like one day a week and 196 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 4: she had a big payoff, and then John Stewart one 197 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 4: day a week, big payoff. So I I this one. 198 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 4: I think we just have to be a little more 199 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 4: careful about because who knows, they might be getting a 200 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 4: bigger contract for less time. 201 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: You know what, You're right. 202 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 3: I had forgotten that leftists do fail up. I'd forgotten 203 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: that axiomatic Truth Rush founded that truth many decades ago. 204 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 3: Leftists do fail up. You're right, Rachel Maddow was paid 205 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: hugely to do one day. John Stewart, I assume paid 206 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 3: hugely to come back and do one day, So maybe 207 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: that's right. MS now announcing yesterday that the nerd prom 208 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 3: King and Queen Joe and Mika, you know, they're on 209 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: opposite us. Apparently things aren't going very well. Does this 210 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: coincide with the launch of the nationally syndicated Chris stick 211 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: All morning program Fast Eddie. Seems to me, you know, 212 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 3: the nerd prom King over there at MSNBC have been 213 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: doing the morning show for years. At MSNBC, we just 214 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 3: launched our syndicated show a year ago. Is there a 215 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 3: correlation that now ms NOW has decided to scale them 216 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: back by an hour. That's exactly it. 217 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 4: So, even though you know they will get more money 218 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: as part of this new deal, it is they were 219 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 4: looking at the times and they're saying, holy crap, the 220 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 4: Christagall Show is eating right into our viewership. 221 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: Here, here, here, and here. I was overlooking the ratings 222 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: yesterday and now we don't you know, we're we're not 223 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: part of Nielsen per se because we're not over traditional 224 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: broadcast as they are. But I was looking at the 225 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: traditional broad that is the TV now those of you 226 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: listening on the radio, and thank you. We are traditional broadcast. 227 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: Those of you who watched the show, We're streamed on 228 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: a lot of different platforms. Starting in June, viewers will 229 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 3: notice a slew of changes across ms now's morning coverage, 230 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: despite notching its better numbers. In February, the network announced 231 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: its returning Morning Joe to a three hour format, down 232 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: from its current four hours. I didn't did you know 233 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 3: it was on for four hours Joe and Meek are 234 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: on for four hours. Any holy crow, Oh, that's that's. 235 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: That's entirely too long. Hold how does any how do 236 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 4: how do they keep producers on hand? 237 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: You put up with that for four hours? 238 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 3: So no, there's there's not enough lipstick and pancake makeup. 239 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 3: I wouldn't think we've given advantaity on that show. We've 240 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: given speeches. Well, we wish them best in their future endeavors. Hey, 241 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: as it turns out, when Iran decides to play nasty, 242 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 3: or when Iran decides that they don't want to give 243 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: up their nuclear designs in the United States decides they're 244 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: going to act to quell that ambition by Iran. As 245 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: it turns out, you might be shocked to learn this. 246 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 3: The rest of the globe is impacted by Iran's behavior. 247 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: All of a sudden, I'm reading these stories today about 248 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: oh boo who the rest of the world is feeling 249 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 3: the hurt from our action in Iran. Oh, well, isn't 250 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: that a shame? 251 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: Bless their hearts. 252 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 3: Axios has written this lengthy piece how the Iran War 253 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 3: is an economic world war. Countries across South Asia are 254 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: imposing energy emergency energy measures like rationing gasoline, closing universities, 255 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: cutting short work weeks, even changing the way crematoriums work. 256 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: To deal with the fallout of the Iran War. Sure, 257 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: it's raising gas prices here at home, but it's and 258 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 3: causing a political headache for Donald Trump. But it's creating 259 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: a deeper crisis for governments and businesses around the world. 260 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: Oh so, now Iran is a global interest, is it? Well, 261 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: welcome to the party, our international friends for a minute. Yeah, 262 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: how the Iran war war became an economic world war? 263 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 3: This from Emily Peck at Axios. Sure, the war is 264 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: raising gas prices for Americans, but it's causing a deeper 265 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 3: crisis abroad. It's the latest global economic shock in a 266 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 3: turbulent decade. The twenty twenties have seen a pandemic, Russia's 267 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 3: invasion of Ukraine and the resulting inflation, and more recently, 268 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: Trump's Liberation Day tariffs, which rocked markets and panicked some countries. 269 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: All right, let's go over these. I don't dispute the 270 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 3: characterization that twenty twenties have been difficult and have been volatile. 271 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: That's all true. The pandemic, let's start with that. Economically, 272 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: was the pandemic. While certainly something that had us all 273 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 3: worried and concerned for a time, I'll stipulate you know, 274 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: all of us were trying to figure out what exactly 275 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: it meant fifteen days just to slow the spread and 276 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 3: all of that. But I don't think it took too long. 277 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: I think for most reasonable people who weren't freaked out 278 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: pannikins about the whole thing, I think a lot of 279 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: us kind of started to say two months in maybe, 280 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: and for some of you, you'd say, it didn't take 281 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 3: me two months. Two months is about what I arrived 282 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: at where I think reasonable people said, Okay, we don't 283 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 3: need to behave as unreasonably as we are to deal 284 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: with this. At least that's kind of in my head 285 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 3: what I put it at. About two months reasonable people 286 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: assessed we should really get back to our day to 287 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: day lives. 288 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: Is that about right? Ed? 289 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 8: Uh? 290 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I would say, and not to be that guy, 291 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 4: but I would say just slightly sooner. 292 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: For us, it was closer. 293 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 4: And I have to look exactly, but it was when 294 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 4: one of the county coroners there were deaths reported in 295 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 4: a county in Pennsylvania that doctor Rachel Levine had reported 296 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 4: as COVID deaths and he said no, no, no, no, like 297 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 4: they're not like I see every single death. So once 298 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 4: that happened, I knew something was As a show, we 299 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 4: had known something was a little off. 300 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: But I think in terms of closing rest Ron's, closing businesses, 301 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 3: keeping kids out of school, shutting down the economy, Trump 302 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: didn't want to do that. He did it for a 303 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: minute or two, but then we stayed in perpetual shutdown 304 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: for months and years. In many cases, they were parts 305 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: of this country governed by Democrats that kept this country 306 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: closed for two years. So when you say the economic 307 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 3: shock of the pandemic, I say, well, I don't think 308 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: democrats largely Democrats reacted to that will. Blue States did 309 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 3: not react to that will, And that's being generous. Democrats 310 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: seized the economy and infused it with a bunch of 311 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: inflationary cash. They printed a bunch of money and shut 312 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: down business and schools. Then there's Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 313 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: Axios points out, well, again, as much as it takes, 314 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: as long as it takes, we were told self inflicted. 315 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, as far as the tariffs are, concerned. 316 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 3: You can say self inflicted, but for heaven's sakes, the 317 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: trade imbalance was so out of whack we were losing 318 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: jobs right and left overseas. I mean the self inflicted 319 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 3: wounds on this country to stabilize the rest of the globe. 320 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: Hang on more in a second. Sorry, I'm stuck on this, 321 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 3: but I can't get pasted at this piece from Emily 322 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: Peck at Axios this morning, how the Iran war is 323 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 3: an economic world war? Kennethy mainly this morning. He said, yeah, Chris, 324 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 3: there's fallout from the war, but it's still not as 325 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: toxic as the fallout would be if Iran had a 326 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: nuclear weapon, agreed, and they did. Of course, they threatened 327 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: us with eleven of them as a matter of fact, 328 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 3: when Witcoff and Kushner went over there to sit down. 329 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: And talk with him about it. 330 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: The Iran war is an economic world war, they say 331 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 3: at Axios. The laws of supply and demand make the 332 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: math fairly straightforward. Here, twenty percent of the world's oil 333 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 3: and other energy products go through the Strait of horm Moves, 334 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: and Iran has. 335 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: Effectively shuttered that traffic. 336 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 3: More than eighty percent of oil and petroleum products moving 337 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: through the Strait went to Asia in twenty two twenty four. 338 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 3: By the end of the week weeks BECK crude supply 339 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: cuts to approach twelve million dollars or barrels a day. Bangladesh, 340 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 3: South Korea, Thailand, Pakistan has shut schools, mandated four day workweeks, 341 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 3: and on and on. Hotels in Mumbai are shutting down. 342 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: Countries and regions that rely on imports for energy are 343 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 3: in the tightest spots. And when President Trump reaches out 344 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 3: to NATO nations and says, hey, little help here, they go, oh, 345 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 3: we're not getting involved in that. 346 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: You know. 347 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 3: I think what we're learning here is that perhaps we're 348 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 3: entirely too dependent on a rogue regime that, with the 349 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: flip of a switch on any given day, can in fact, yes, 350 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 3: impact and destabilize the globe. This is a global reordering. 351 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: This is a heavy lift, This is tough medicine. Here 352 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 3: again with the theme I began yesterday, Donald Trump is 353 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: stepping up and doing the tough things for the long 354 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 3: game that no other leader wants to take on because 355 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: it's short term discomfort. Jd Vance addressed the short term 356 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 3: yesterday Chevy number ninety four Jdvans out on the stump. 357 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 9: Gas prices are up, and we know they're up, and 358 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 9: we know that people are hurting because of it, and 359 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 9: we're doing everything that we can to ensure that they 360 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 9: stay lower. I will say the President said this, and 361 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 9: I certainly agree with it. 362 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: This is a temporary blip. 363 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 3: Okay. 364 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 9: What happened under the Biden administration is the gas prices 365 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 9: were high for four years. Gas prices are higher right now, 366 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 9: and frankly, they're not even as high as they were 367 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 9: during certain parts of the Biden administration. Because of what's 368 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 9: going on in the Middle East. It's not going to 369 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 9: last forever. We're going to take care of business. We're 370 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 9: gonna come back home, and when that happens, you're going 371 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 9: to see energy prices come back down to reality. 372 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is starting to get pretty ticked off 373 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 3: with Iran, and they said, you know something, We're not 374 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 3: just going to sit around here and play paddy cake 375 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: with you and sit on the sidelines much longer. Saudi 376 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: Arabia this morning is threatening to engage fully with Iran. 377 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 3: Did you know that? In fact, the Wall Street Journal 378 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: yesterday reported after an Iranian drone and missile strike at 379 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 3: the United Arab Emirates and some fellow Persian golf states. 380 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 3: Iran's theocracy has now come to be seen as an 381 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 3: existential enemy, and now Persian golf states want the regime 382 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 3: they once courted to be neutered, if not dismantled, when 383 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 3: the conflict ends, so this ordeal is never repeated. The 384 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 3: UAE has borne the brunt of Iran's attacks. More than 385 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: two thousand drones and missiles have been fired at the country. 386 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: Over eighty percent of those have been aimed at civilian structures. 387 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 3: So the UAE and their other golf neighbors are starting 388 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 3: to say we've had enough, and they're telling the United 389 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 3: States finish them off. We're done. Yes, destabilization in this 390 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 3: region meansrobs for their immediate neighbors and the rest of 391 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 3: the world. Welcome to the show. And President Trump has 392 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 3: the stones, the vision, and the wherewithal to do something 393 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: that will reorder the global structure of everything. Stabilization, economics, energy. 394 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's not comfortable, it's not convenient. It's not 395 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 3: a microwave, heat and eat situation. And unfortunately, we've got 396 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 3: a bunch of cowardly allies that don't want to get 397 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 3: themselves involved, largely because they want to court the Muslims 398 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: in their country. Like Keir Starmer, that's the only base 399 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 3: of support he has, so he's loathed to get involved 400 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: in this because he doesn't want the one base of 401 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 3: support he has left Muslims inside his country to get 402 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 3: upset with him. He's hanging on by a thread. This 403 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 3: is hard stuff. Leading's hard. I imagine being President of 404 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 3: the United States is tough, and it's really tough when 405 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 3: you got to do consequential things like deal with a 406 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 3: global minute. Yes, I'm glad he's doing it. I don't 407 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: want anybody to be in any kind of financial duress 408 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 3: or discomfort or stress. And I understand people are. We 409 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 3: all are. Everybody feels the pinch, But come on, folks, 410 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 3: Consequential stuff, tough stuff is just that it's tough, and 411 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 3: for long term gains, it does mean some short term discomfort. Meanwhile, 412 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: as we approach our two hundred and fifty anniversary as 413 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: a country, the Herzog Foundation wants to remind you that 414 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: this country was founded on Christian faith. 415 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: It just was. 416 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 3: That's a fact, and they chronicle all that in a 417 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 3: ongoing segment they're doing called Faith and Freedom two fifty. 418 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: Take a listen. 419 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 10: At the dawn of the American Revolution, the fight for 420 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 10: liberty wasn't just waged by soldiers and statesmen. It was 421 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 10: also led by pastors, men of faith, who stood in 422 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 10: their pulpits and on the battlefield. 423 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 8: This is their story. 424 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: On April nineteenth, seventeen seventy five, the very first day 425 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: of fighting in the War for American Independence, conflict occurred 426 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 2: between colonists and British Red Coats at the North Bridge 427 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: and conquered Massachusetts. Reverend William Emerson, a Congregational minister, lived 428 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: just up the hill in a house known as the 429 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 2: Old Man's. What E witnessed that day had a great 430 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 2: impact on his life. Emerson went on to serve as 431 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 2: a chaplain at Fort Tykwonderoga in New York. 432 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: He did not live long enough to see the full. 433 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: Effect of his example as a wartime minister, because he 434 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: died during the following year, but he was the first 435 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 2: of many colonial clergy at the forefront of the revolution. 436 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 2: The British took notice, and soon these patriotic preachers were 437 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: called the Black Robed Regiment. 438 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 11: It is well documented that Christian clergy played important roles 439 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 11: in the settlement and development of the English colonies in 440 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 11: North America. They were town leaders, teachers, and moral authorities. 441 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 11: During the Great Awakening, their influence grew even more in 442 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 11: the decades leading up to the Revolution. Tensions rose between 443 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 11: the colonies and the mother country, and so did the 444 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 11: activity and passion with which the clergy addressed issues facing 445 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 11: the Americans. It was common for a preacher to use 446 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 11: examples of British oppression of the colonists as lessons. 447 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: In their sermons. 448 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 11: Soon it became clear that such strife could be couched 449 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 11: in a religious context, illustrating a battle between good and evil. 450 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 11: Their words stirred their congregations and caused them to tremble 451 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 11: in fear of what was to come. The issues listed 452 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 11: in every petition to the King or Parliament could be 453 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 11: heard somewhere in colonial Sunday sermons. During the War for Independence, 454 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 11: American clergy chose topics from the Declaration of Independence in 455 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 11: their sermons. 456 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 5: It remains unknown how many clergymen took up arms in 457 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 5: the colonial militias or among the continental regulars. From seventeen 458 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 5: seventy five through seventeen eighty three, or how many ministers 459 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 5: contributed in other ways during the conflict, but several sterling 460 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 5: examples leave a powerful legacy. Take Reverend Samuel Cooper of Boston. 461 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 5: He was a Congregational pastor at Bradle Street Church and 462 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: a close ally of Sam Adams and. 463 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: The Sons of Liberty. 464 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 5: In the seventeen sixties, Cooper publicly denounced the Stampback and 465 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 5: Townsend Acts from his pulpit. Pastor Jonas Clark, an Anglican clergyman, 466 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 5: played a key role on April nineteenth, the same day 467 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 5: as Reverend Emerson, when Sam Adams and John Hancock visited 468 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 5: Lexington the night before to assess readiness. They stayed at 469 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 5: Clark's house. Paul Revere even stopped there during his famous bride. 470 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 5: And then there's Reverend John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian minister and 471 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 5: the only active clergyman and college president to sign the 472 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 5: Declara of Independence. Just weeks before July fourth, seventeen seventy six, 473 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 5: he delivered a sermon called the Dominion of Providence over 474 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 5: the Passions of Men, which logically explained why independence was 475 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 5: a moral and theological necessity. He went on to serve 476 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 5: in the Continental Congress until seventeen eighty two. 477 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 11: One of the most memorable figures of the so called 478 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 11: Black Roped Regiment was Peter Muhlenberg, a Lutheran pastor in 479 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 11: rural Virginia. He provided one of the most dramatic examples 480 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 11: of adamant support of the War for American Independence by 481 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 11: a clergyman. Before the war, he had served in the 482 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 11: Virginia House of Burgesses. By seventeen seventy six, he was 483 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 11: pastoring a church in Mount Pisga, Virginia. On January twenty 484 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 11: first of that year, he used the time honored scripture 485 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 11: of Ecclesiastes Iree for his sermon to everything. There is 486 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 11: a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. 487 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 11: A time to be born and a time to die. 488 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 11: A time to plant and a time to pluck up 489 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 11: that which is planted. A time to kill and a 490 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 11: time to heal. A time to break down and a 491 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 11: time to build up. A time to weep and a 492 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 11: time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time 493 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 11: to dance. A time to cast away stones and a 494 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 11: time to gather stones together. A time to embrace and 495 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 11: a time to refrain from embracing, a time to get 496 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 11: and a time to lose, a time to keep and 497 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 11: a time to cast away, a time to rend and 498 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 11: a time to sew, a time to keep silence and 499 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 11: a time to speak, a time to love and a 500 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 11: time to hate. As he drew to the end of 501 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 11: the passage, Muhlenberg altered the final line, a time of 502 00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 11: peace and a time of war. Upon concluding his rephrase scripture, 503 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 11: he tore open his minister's robe to reveal his Continental 504 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 11: Army uniform underneath. What clearer imagery could have existed to 505 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 11: illustrate the black robed Regiment. It is estimated that over 506 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 11: one hundred and sixty men from his community enlisted on 507 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 11: that very day. Pastor Muhlenberg continued as a soldier in 508 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 11: the Continental Army as part of the eighth Virginia Regiment. 509 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 11: He served under General George Washington at the battles of 510 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 11: Trenton and Princeton in New Jersey, and was even present 511 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 11: at the final engagement at Yorktown in Virginia. By the 512 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 11: time the war ended, Muhlenberg was a brigadier general. 513 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: Many pastors known and unknown fought to establish this nation. 514 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 2: They set examples of what it meant to be a 515 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 2: Christian and a citizen. 516 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: For other ministers who fought other battles in. 517 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: The decades and centuries that followed, it was not always 518 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 2: with a musket or a sword that they fought. Instead, 519 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: they wielded more powerful weapons by using their voices to 520 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 2: shine light on the truth as the American quest for 521 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 2: liberty continued, story. 522 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 10: Of America's founding can't be told without the pastors who 523 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 10: led with boldness and conviction. These clergymen remind us that 524 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 10: liberty and faith go hand in hand. They didn't just 525 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 10: preach freedom, they lived it, and in doing so, they 526 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 10: helped to build a nation. 527 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, we should go. 528 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 3: That's our friends at the Herzog Foundation.

Interesting stuff, A lot of stuff I've learned 548 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: that I did not know the role faith played in 549 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 3: this country. Boy, you know, I'm a long way from 550 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 3: elementary school, and I can tell you that was never 551 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 3: anything I was exposed to in public school. And that 552 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 3: was back before everything went insane. So there has been 553 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 3: a steady attempt over many, many decades to keep you 554 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 3: in the dark about the country's heritage, particularly as it 555 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 3: relates to its faith based heritage. And so this two 556 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 3: hundred and fiftith anniversary, the Herzog folks are trying to 557 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 3: bring that to the four were really grateful that they do. 558 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 3: All right, this guy Joe Kent, we'll talk a little 559 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 3: bit more about him coming up, But it's interesting Van's 560 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 3: out there in the campaign trail, a lot of people 561 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 3: wondering what he'd say about it. He did address it 562 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 3: yesterday in number ninety three. 563 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: Let's hear it. 564 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 9: It's one thing to have a disagreement of opinion, whatever 565 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 9: your view is. When the President the United States makes 566 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 9: a decision, it's your job to help make that decision 567 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 9: as effective and successful as possible. 568 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: And so the President said this yesterday. 569 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 9: If you are on the team and you can't help 570 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 9: implement the decisions of his administration, he has the right 571 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 9: to make those decisions, then it's a good thing for 572 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 9: you to resign. 573 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: And I think that's exactly right. 574 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 9: It's fine to disagree, but once the president makes a decision, 575 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 9: it's up to everybody who serves in his administration to 576 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 9: make it as successful as possible. That's how I do 577 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 9: my job, and I think that's how everybody in the 578 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 9: administration should do their job too. 579 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: Well. 580 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 3: Of course I agree with the Vice president, but that 581 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 3: is sadly not the attitude of a number of people 582 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 3: who called themselves MAGA or associates with the president's or 583 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 3: cheerlead the president winning election and now are seemingly committed 584 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 3: to usurping him at every turn because they don't like something. 585 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 3: And I do find that odd. I'll just say, and 586 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 3: I got into a back and forth with somebody yesterday 587 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 3: who continues to assert that Donald Trump is not delivering 588 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 3: on anything. It's become sort of an article of faith 589 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 3: that Donald Trump has done nothing fast adding nothing. And 590 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 3: this is not again, I'm not even talking about democrats. 591 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 3: I'm talking about people that you see online or people 592 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 3: that you hear, who again stood on the stage with 593 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 3: Donald Trump, campaigned with Donald Trump, visited him in the 594 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 3: White House many times in this last year, and now 595 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 3: dedicate themselves to daily shows telling their audiences that Donald 596 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: Trump has not done a damn thing well or right, 597 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 3: is no longer MAGA, has abandoned all of his promises 598 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: and is one hundred and eighty degrees out of phase 599 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 3: with everything that you voted for as a MAGA voter, 600 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 3: even though the voting base does not feel that way 601 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 3: and every poll says it. Harry Inton had the poll 602 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 3: over there at CNN the vaudevillian Do you know, I 603 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: don't know if you've seen the numbers on this thing. 604 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 3: Give me number nine nine hundred here if you would, Pully. 605 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 13: MAGA GOP view of Trump approve one hundred percent, one 606 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 13: hundred percent. If you are a member of MAGA and 607 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 13: the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump zero percent, 608 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 13: say that they disapprove. You don't have to be a 609 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 13: mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than one 610 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 13: hundred percent. He is the nineteen hundred and seventy two 611 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 13: Miami Dolphins. 612 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: So there's a disconnect ed. 613 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 3: There are people who have made it their life's work 614 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 3: and their livings now and they're building whole shows on 615 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 3: Trump is not Magan, and he's abandoning you and he's 616 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 3: failed you. And then there's that Now. I can only 617 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 3: share the information with you and you can make up 618 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 3: at what you will ed What can make of that? 619 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 3: What could have changed for them? 620 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? 621 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 3: More in a moment on the stackall show. Glad to 622 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 3: have you along. I don't know about you. If you 623 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 3: have yo yo dieted all of your life, I certainly 624 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 3: have keto paleo weight watchers, intermittent fasting. You lose weight, 625 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: and I have. I've lost dramatic amounts of weight before, 626 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 3: only to gain it back and then some. And you 627 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 3: probably kick yourself for it and you think it's all 628 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 3: about your own willpower and your own lack of discipline. Look, 629 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 3: maybe there's some of that, but the real truth of 630 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 3: it is it was not strictly about willpower. There is 631 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 3: one thing only that determines whether your body burns fat 632 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 3: or stores fat. And if you don't know how to 633 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 3: fix that, every diet you're ever going to try fails. 634 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 3: That's all that changed for me was looking at it differently, 635 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,239 Speaker 3: and PhD Weight Loss told me how to look at 636 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 3: it differently. Doctor Ashley Lucas and I started talking about 637 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 3: her program and why it's worked so well for some 638 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 3: of my colleagues, and how she's different. And so when 639 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 3: I went on this program last year and I began 640 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 3: to eat real food, I didn't have to take any 641 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 3: kind of shots or any kind of gimmicky drugs or 642 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 3: anything like that. It was just purely understanding how my 643 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 3: body best metabolizes food, when to eat, what to eat, 644 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 3: and not starving myself. By the way. And here's the deal. 645 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 3: You start to have real victories quickly, and I lost 646 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 3: over forty pounds in under four months time. Fast Eddie, 647 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,959 Speaker 3: our executive producer, was so impressed with it. He said, 648 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind trying it. I said, how much you 649 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 3: want to lose? He said fifty pounds. So we dialed 650 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 3: up Ashley Lucas and I said, can Eddie lose fifty 651 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 3: pounds along with me here? And she said, oh absolutely, 652 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 3: Let's give it till May. So he started the program. Folks, 653 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: he is already halfway to his goal after just thirteen 654 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 3: weeks or so. So, I mean, you're talking about over 655 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 3: twenty five pounds in a matter of weeks. That could 656 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 3: be your story. Now. I have managed to lose that 657 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 3: kind of weight last year and coming into a new 658 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 3: year keeping that weight off. That's the first time in 659 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 3: my weight loss history that I've lost that kind of 660 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 3: weight and maintained the weight loss.

And then, of course always there's the podcast 713 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 3: after the fact, which thanks again for your support of 714 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 3: that podcast. 715 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 14: It is. 716 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 3: Particularly since we got the Apple podcast situation all figured out. 717 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 3: Those of you who are Apple podcast listeners have some 718 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 3: of you have found frustration with some kind of update 719 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 3: which every time Apple updates things, I get irritated. I'm 720 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 3: sure somebody out there thinks it's great. I like everything working, 721 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 3: and once I figured everything out, that's fine for me. 722 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 3: And then along comes some guy that decides, you know 723 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 3: what that needs an update, which means you get to 724 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 3: learn so in the process. Somehow the podcasts for some 725 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 3: of you were not instantly uploading as they typically do 726 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 3: in Apple. Well, that has been corrected. Everybody's getting the 727 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 3: full uploads, and in fact, Apple podcasts now surging. We're 728 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 3: getting the best listenership on Apple that we've had probably 729 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 3: in a couple of years, based on the numbers I 730 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 3: saw this week once they rectified it. But there's any 731 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 3: way you want to listen to the show. If not Apple, 732 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 3: they're Spotify. You can always catch us on YouTube. We 733 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 3: put the show up there too, So lots of ways 734 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 3: to stay in touch, and I do hope you'll stay 735 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 3: in touch on social media two over there on X 736 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 3: on Facebook, on Instagram, even TikTok all of it, Chris Stigall, 737 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,760 Speaker 3: c hr S S T I G A L l Okay. 738 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 3: I will address this once. I'm not trying to open 739 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 3: up a can of worms. I'm certainly not trying to 740 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 3: pick fights with anybody. But I do think it's just 741 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 3: newsworthy and I typically do not talk about other shows. 742 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 3: That is. I've made it. I've made a news resolution, Eddie. 743 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 3: I'm not this is going to be difficult to do. 744 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 3: In fact, I was having a discussion about this with 745 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 3: a colleague of mine yesterday. I said, but I have 746 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 3: made a pledge. The Stickall Show is no longer going 747 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 3: to spend time talking about other shows, and they said, well, yeah, 748 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 3: but this particular story is newsworthy you you probably can't 749 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 3: avoid it. So I was having this great debate with 750 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 3: myself whether or not I can avoid talking about other 751 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 3: shows and still talk about this. 752 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 4: Joe Kent's I understand, Chris, there was a confluence of 753 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 4: things yesterday with Tulsi testifying, with Van addressing it from 754 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 4: his rally. That's the only reason I thought, yeah we 755 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 4: should go there. 756 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 3: Sorry, all right, I'm I'm just presenting what happened. All right. 757 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 3: First of all, you should know that this guy, Joe Kent, 758 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 3: the former counter terrorism official in the Trump administration, according 759 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 3: to multiple reports, has been under FBI investigation for months, 760 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 3: for months, on suspicion that he's been leaking classified information. 761 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 3: This guy, Joe Kent, propelled himself into national headlines this 762 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 3: week when he resigned his post and blamed Israel for 763 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 3: tricking Donald Trump into launching the Iran War even though 764 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 3: they posed no imminent threat. By the way, this guy 765 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 3: yesterday claimed in his conversation, well all right, give me 766 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 3: number ninety seven. Here we go, Here we go. 767 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: And the last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this 768 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: earth was. 769 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 15: In June in the West Wing in the stairway, and 770 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 15: I said hi to him, and he looked me in 771 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 15: the eye and he said, very loudly, and it's a 772 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 15: small you've been in the West Wing. It's small. It's 773 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 15: a tight space. And he said, Joe, stop us from 774 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 15: getting into a war with Iran. So when one of 775 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 15: President Trump's closest advisors who is vocally advocating for us 776 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 15: to not go to war with Iran and for us 777 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 15: to rethink at least our relationship with the Israelis, and 778 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 15: then he suddenly publicly assassinated and we're not allowed to 779 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 15: ask any questions about that. The investigation that I was 780 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 15: a part of the National Counteris Center was a part of. 781 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 15: We were stopped from continuing to investigate. But there was 782 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 15: still a lot for us to look into that I 783 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 15: can't really get into, but there was still linkage for 784 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 15: us to investigate that we needed to run down. 785 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 3: There's a lot there. A man who's no longer alive 786 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 3: and cannot address this himself, has now been assigned by 787 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 3: mister Kent. The suggestion that he was asked personally by 788 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk to keep us from going to war with Iran. 789 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 3: The assertion was also that Charlie Kirk is one of 790 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 3: President Trump's closest advisors. That's news to me that he 791 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,959 Speaker 3: had you. I did not know that was Charlie Kirk, 792 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 3: one of President Trump's closest advisors. Were you aware of that? 793 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 3: Did he serve in an official capacity as an advisor to 794 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,320 Speaker 3: Donald Trump? 795 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 14: He did? 796 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 3: That was not my knowledge of their relationship. 797 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 4: No, And if he was, if his counsel was taken, 798 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,399 Speaker 4: we wouldn't know that. 799 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 3: How would we do? I mean they were friends. A 800 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 3: lot of people are friends with Donald Trump. A lot 801 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 3: of people have access to Donald Trump. A lot of 802 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,280 Speaker 3: people it and talk with Donald Trump. Tucker Carlson visited 803 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 3: and talked with Donald Trump. I mean, I don't what 804 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 3: what does closest advisor to Donald Trump mean exactly? I don't. 805 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 3: I don't know that that's true. But okay, So then 806 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 3: he says that Charlie Kirk told him, whatever you do, Joe, 807 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 3: keep us from going to war with Iron. And then 808 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 3: of course the claim that Israel very specifically tricked Donald Trump, 809 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 3: and that Charlie Kirk knew Israel was about to trick 810 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Joe Kent was the only man to 811 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 3: stop it. 812 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 12: Ed. 813 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 3: That asks a lot of me as a thinking man, 814 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 3: to just take on face value from a guy that 815 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 3: I'd never heard of until Tuesday. 816 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 4: I agree, and I don't understand. So Joe, Joe Kent 817 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 4: has this kind of access with Charlie Kirk, like this 818 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 4: is this is all I mean. 819 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: I don't I don't. 820 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 3: I don't know what their friendship or relationship was, and 821 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 3: I don't know that they weren't entirely closed. 822 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 10: I don't. 823 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 3: I don't know any of the thing is here's my 824 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 3: why is Joe Kent pure as the wind driven snow? 825 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 3: And everything about Donald Trump, now we must assess, has 826 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 3: been duped, You've been lied to, you've been tricked, there's 827 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 3: some sort of grand cover up. But Joe Kent is 828 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 3: this angelic, perfect without blemish to be fully trusted individual 829 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 3: who most of us didn't even know his name until 830 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 3: forty eight hours ago. Can I just need somebody to 831 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 3: explain that to me? And the answer, of course, is 832 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 3: when you've built your show over the last year or 833 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 3: so into a vessel for constant opposition and undermining of 834 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 3: the Trump administration, and that becomes, as I've talked to you, 835 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 3: I call it revelation addiction. There are people that have 836 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 3: now built their entire personas their entire shows persona. Is 837 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 3: that guy we worked so hard to get elected a 838 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 3: year ago is now a rat bastard you can't trust 839 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 3: and is not up to any good and is not 840 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 3: trying to advance the best for the country. And I 841 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 3: just want to know for people who worked as hard 842 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 3: as they did to get him elected in a calendar 843 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 3: year to now flip to he's no good, he's lying 844 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,279 Speaker 3: to you, he doesn't care about anything he said he 845 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 3: cared about, and I know the real scoop about him. 846 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 3: I just wonder how in a year you can take 847 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 3: someone's judgment who thought Donald Trump was great and was 848 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 3: different and was going to do good, and in a 849 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 3: year the assessment is now he's up to no good 850 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 3: and these ancillary figures around him are now ironclad trustworthy, 851 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 3: and Donald Trump, the commander in chief whom seventy seven 852 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 3: million people voted for, is now the villain in the story? 853 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 3: How did we get there? That fast ed? That's I 854 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,919 Speaker 3: would like somebody to walk that out for me, because 855 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 3: I know that there are a lot of people there 856 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 3: are there are millions of people, I assume many who 857 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 3: voted for Donald Trump. I don't I don't know that. 858 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 3: I can't quantify it that had decided Donald Trump is 859 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,760 Speaker 3: the bad guy because of shows like this and guys 860 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 3: like Joe Kent, and I don't know how you get there. 861 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 3: I just I don't know how you get there, but 862 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 3: maybe you can help me. Do you have insight? 863 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 4: I mean, there's only one thing I come back to, 864 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 4: and it's just not organic. It's not an organic These 865 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 4: are people, especially in Tucker Carlson's case, who were very 866 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 4: close to the president, very close and as you said, 867 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 4: instrumental in getting helping get him reelected and things like that. 868 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 3: It makes no sense. 869 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 4: But what's really disturbing to me is them invoking Charlie again. 870 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 4: Why do these people in these shows keep invoking Charlie Kirk? 871 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 3: Yeap, Charlie Kirk said, I'm the greatest broadcaster he'd ever heard. 872 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 3: He told me that just before he died. We can 873 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 3: play that game all day, can't we? Charlie Kirk said 874 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 3: to me before he died fill in the blank. You 875 00:46:54,920 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 3: know in twenty fifteen, eleven years ago, and a lot 876 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 3: of you didn't know my show at the time. We 877 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 3: were a Philadelphia based show exclusively back then, and many 878 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 3: of you who listened back then, no, And I like 879 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 3: to audit myself and regularly confess because if you go 880 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 3: back you can even find things I wrote at the time. 881 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,879 Speaker 3: I was even arrogant enough to argue with a guy 882 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,919 Speaker 3: that I admire more than anybody else that ever lived 883 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 3: in broadcasting, Rush Limbaugh. I had the semerity to once 884 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 3: say Rush Limbaugh was out of his mind for supporting 885 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 3: Donald Trump in that fifteen way primary. I was a 886 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 3: Ted Cruz guy. I didn't want anything to do with 887 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 3: Donald Trump. I ended up voting for him, but I 888 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 3: was convinced that Donald Trump was not the way forward 889 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 3: for this country. Eleven years later, I voted for Donald 890 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 3: Trump three times. And I can now see with certainty 891 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 3: that for such a time as this, there could have 892 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 3: been only one man, and it was Donald Trump. And 893 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 3: it is Donald Trump, and Rush, of course was one 894 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 3: hundred percent right. Now Apparently along the way people like 895 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 3: to Carlson and Megan Kelly and CANDICEO and shared that 896 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 3: point of view very recently, like a little over a 897 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 3: year ago. Now they don't. They build their shows on 898 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 3: inviting people on to do nothing but constantly trash him 899 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 3: and undermine him. And I just thought it's worth reminding 900 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 3: you caveat M tour buy er, beware, it's let's just 901 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 3: all lay our cards out on the table and be 902 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 3: honest about who we are and where we come from 903 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 3: in our backgrounds. Okay. Megan Kelly, her claim to fame 904 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 3: on Fox News during that fifteen way primary was assaulting 905 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 3: Donald Trump for calling Rosy o' donald a pig, among 906 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 3: other things. Megan Kelly was well known as being extraordinarily 907 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 3: hostile to Donald Trump before she became a big fan. 908 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 3: As for Tucker, there's a piece if you want to 909 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 3: go back and refresh your mind at the BBC, Tucker 910 00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 3: Carlson said he hates Trump passionately. Lawsuit reveals. Just looked 911 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 3: this up because it came to my mind this morning. 912 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,240 Speaker 3: Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in a text message 913 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,240 Speaker 3: after twenty twenty that he quote passionately hated Donald Trump. 914 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 3: According to new court filings, Carlson's message to a colleague 915 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:17,919 Speaker 3: in January twenty twenty one, that's just five years ago, 916 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 3: not quite even emerged as part of a defamation lawsuit 917 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 3: against the Dominion Voting Systems folks and Fox. You remember that. 918 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 3: That's why Tucker ended up separating from Fox. And this 919 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 3: came in a discovery session with Dominion and Fox. We 920 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 3: are very very close to being able to ignore Trump 921 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 3: most nights, he wrote in a text on the fourth 922 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 3: of January twenty twenty one. I truly can't wait. I 923 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:50,240 Speaker 3: hate him passionately. Then he shows up on the stump 924 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 3: with Donald Trump all of twenty twenty four. Just three 925 00:49:54,440 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 3: years later. Now he's hosting people claiming that he's being 926 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 3: led around by the nose courtesy of Israel. I need 927 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 3: help understanding who to trust here. Speaking of the cost 928 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 3: of things, affordability, generally costs of gasoline. People unhappy, Jade Vance. 929 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 15: You know he. 930 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 3: Addressed this yesterday, We played it earlier. They're sending him 931 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 3: out there on the campaign trail to start to kind 932 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 3: of try to address this. President Trump trying to thread 933 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 3: the needle. They understand, they hear you. This is not pleasant. 934 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 3: Gas prices ticking back up, making people unhappy and uncomfortable. 935 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 3: Number ninety four. If you could please again, here's the 936 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 3: Vice president. 937 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 9: Gas prices are up, and we know they're up, and 938 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 9: we know that people are hurting because of it, and 939 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 9: we're doing everything that we can to ensure that they 940 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 9: stay lower. I will say the presidents said this, and 941 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 9: I certainly agree with it. 942 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,320 Speaker 1: This is a temporary blood. 943 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 3: Okay. 944 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,760 Speaker 9: What happened under the Biden administration is the gas prices 945 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 9: were high for four years. 946 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 1: Gas prices are higher right now, and frankly, they're not. 947 00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 9: Even as high as they were during certain parts of 948 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 9: the Biden administration. Because of what's going on in the 949 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 9: Middle East. It's not going to last forever. We're going 950 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 9: to take care of business. We're going to come back home. 951 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 9: And when that happens, here to see energy prices come 952 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 9: back down to reality. 953 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 3: While we're talking about the Vice president, let me pivot 954 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 3: to Victor Davis Hanson for a minute because it dovetails 955 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 3: with what I was just talking about a minute ago, 956 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 3: this Joe Kent conversation. Who's come out to say President 957 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 3: Trump was led into war by Israel. He didn't know 958 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,760 Speaker 3: what he was doing. He's been tricked, he's been duped. 959 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk begged me before he died, keep us out 960 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 3: of a war. Tell Trump do whatever you got to 961 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 3: do to stop this. So what about Vice President Vance, 962 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 3: who is known to be a close associate and ally 963 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 3: and friend of Tucker Carlson's by the way, has his 964 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,439 Speaker 3: I think Tucker's son still works for Vance. I think 965 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 3: was my understanding. I don't know if that's still the 966 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,919 Speaker 3: case or not. Here's what Victor Davis Hanson said about 967 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 3: this at number ninety eight. 968 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 14: Mister President, as you have a disagreement with JD. Banch 969 00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 14: your vice president. 970 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 1: No, oh, he's. 971 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 8: A little bit less enthusiastic, but he's enthusiastic. I'm just paraphrasing. 972 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,800 Speaker 8: And so that's a message, I think to the Mega 973 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 8: people and the JD You've got to clean. 974 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,800 Speaker 14: This stuff up. We had to take out the Iranian stuff, 975 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 14: and we had to get rid of this communist thug 976 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 14: and now we're done. But when Tucker Carlson again, I 977 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 14: have to preface that I was on a show for years. 978 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 14: He was really formidably in favor of watching, being vigilant, 979 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 14: and now what he's saying is almost, you know, pro Islam. 980 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 3: So I bring in Chris Wilson, our great friend CEO 981 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 3: of eyes Over, because he watches the panoply of online communication. 982 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 3: That's what they do in eyes over to kind of 983 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,839 Speaker 3: give you the latest, up to date data of the 984 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 3: sentiment out there online. And Chris, this is a huge 985 00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:02,800 Speaker 3: subject online, Joe Kent, the warning on gas prices, President Trump, 986 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,319 Speaker 3: shady vans Tucker Carlson, So how do you read this 987 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 3: and how should and by the way, let's throw in 988 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 3: for good measure the fact that the polls say, if 989 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,359 Speaker 3: you identify yourself as a MAGA voter, you're still four 990 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,799 Speaker 3: square behind Donald Trump. So take all that, throw it 991 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 3: in a blender and give it to me. It eyes over, 992 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:19,800 Speaker 3: Chris Wilson. Good morning. 993 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 16: Yeah, well, good morning. It's gonna be with you again. 994 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 17: And I'll just say, foreign policy became a kitchen table 995 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,399 Speaker 17: issue all of a sudden, And as you point out, 996 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 17: what we do is we measure what voters are talking 997 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,800 Speaker 17: about right now, millions of signals from real people across 998 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 17: all digital platforms, and I want to go specific and 999 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,799 Speaker 17: I'll get bigger. So the straight of Hormos Hamuz is 1000 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 17: one of those issues. It sounds like foreign policy, but 1001 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 17: in our data, it's being processed almost entirely as a 1002 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 17: domestic economic issue. And so about as you know, about 1003 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 17: twenty percent of the world's oil flows through that single 1004 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 17: choke point. And so when voters hear disruption in Hormus, 1005 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,399 Speaker 17: they don't think about geopolitics or naval strategy or things 1006 00:53:59,400 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 17: like that. 1007 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,919 Speaker 16: They think about gas is about to go up again. 1008 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,360 Speaker 17: And so what we're seeing is a very clear pattern 1009 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,760 Speaker 17: and I'll mention three things that I think are important 1010 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,240 Speaker 17: to recognize about it. Well, the immediate translation is foreign 1011 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 17: policy equals wallet, and so there's almost direct mental shortcut 1012 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 17: happening with voters that usually those things take years to form. 1013 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,720 Speaker 17: Promoe's disruption equals oil prices going up equals gas prices 1014 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 17: going up equals cost of living going up. 1015 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 16: There's no lag, there's no abstraction. 1016 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 17: And that's important because it means this issue hits faster 1017 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 17: than most foreign policy issues ever do. 1018 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 16: But the second one strength versus cost, But they're not symmetrical. 1019 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 17: We see people saying, and we're doing reports on this 1020 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 17: every day for clients, that you've got to protect shipping 1021 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 17: lanes and don't let Iran control global trade, and we 1022 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 17: got to protect power. So here's the key insight that 1023 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:46,959 Speaker 17: I take away from that that I try and share 1024 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 17: is that support is not theoretical. 1025 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 16: The cost is immediate and personal to people. 1026 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 17: So in the data you see strength narratives are stable, 1027 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 17: but cost narratives are accelerating, and acceleration is what wins 1028 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 17: the narrative momentum. You remember a couple of times I've 1029 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,319 Speaker 17: talked about how it's polling, which I did four years 1030 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,479 Speaker 17: was nam Poster of the year back after the Glenn 1031 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,800 Speaker 17: Younkin race. And it is like seeing the scoreboard, whereas 1032 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 17: eyes over is momentum in the field. 1033 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 16: And that's what we're looking for, is that acceleration. So 1034 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 16: the third thing I'll point out is. 1035 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 17: The real question voters you're asking here, and it's not 1036 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 17: should we be strong? And that's where you bring up 1037 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 17: you know, the magat supportive to the still Donald Trump, 1038 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 17: Yes it is. But what the question is the voters 1039 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,720 Speaker 17: you're asking is can we be strong without making my life, 1040 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 17: my family's life more expensive. And that's the entire political 1041 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 17: tension right now, Chris. And it's whoever answers that question 1042 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 17: better is going to win this argument. And that's where 1043 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 17: it becomes a if not the twenty twenty six issue, 1044 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 17: because when foreign policy comes connects directly to household economics, 1045 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 17: it stops being partisan. 1046 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 16: It becomes universal. 1047 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 17: And what we're seeing is economic pressure is acting as a. 1048 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,800 Speaker 16: Multiplier on every other issue. 1049 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 17: So if gas prices rise, iron becomes less about security 1050 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,800 Speaker 17: and more about leadership and decision making. And so for 1051 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,080 Speaker 17: I always try and tie everything back that I do 1052 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 17: in my head to all right, how would I advise 1053 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 17: my clients if I was working against my clients? 1054 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,000 Speaker 16: How would advise those evil people? Don't care, They're not evil, 1055 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 16: but you know what I mean. 1056 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 17: So if Republicans have a real opportunity but also a 1057 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 17: real risk, and so the opportunity is Republicans are already 1058 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 17: trusted more on national security, on energy, and on strength. 1059 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 17: So the baseline advantage is there. So the message if 1060 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,560 Speaker 17: the message is only those strength at all costs, the 1061 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,880 Speaker 17: Democrats win the cost argument. The lane that is opening 1062 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 17: up that I see in the data is strong and efficient, 1063 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 17: secure and affordable. So voters do want decisive action, but 1064 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 17: they also want disciplined action. They don't want open ended escalation. 1065 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 17: The longer it looks like this is going to drag on, 1066 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 17: the more problematic it becomes for the GOP, and they 1067 00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 17: don't want economic will. Back to mention this last week, 1068 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 17: I told story a couple times of I was on 1069 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 17: hold for your show and you were talked to a 1070 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 17: bus driver marijuand who is an indiviendent contractor and gas 1071 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 17: prices are going up, and that hit home with her, 1072 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 17: and so the real insight from the. 1073 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 1: Data, Yeah I get. 1074 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 3: I mean, Chris let me let me just cut to 1075 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 3: the chase here. I get emails yesterday, Guy email, I mean, 1076 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 3: he was angry. He said, you know, you sound like 1077 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 3: some sort of elitist ivory tower guy. You don't understand 1078 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 3: things suck out here. Gas prices are through the roof. 1079 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 3: Trump said he was going to bring gas prices down. 1080 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 3: I'm mad, I said, I'm not in an ivory tower. 1081 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,160 Speaker 3: I pay for gas just like everybody else. I understand it. 1082 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 3: But the great question is that you just said Iran's instability, 1083 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 3: our dependence one on Iran's oil, but to the volatility 1084 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 3: and the threat the president interprets. How do you weigh 1085 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 3: those two? It's imperfect. This is not You cannot make 1086 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 3: everything cheap at the same time you neutralize the nuclear threat. 1087 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 3: It's almost impossible. So how does the president message it? 1088 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:57,800 Speaker 1: Do you suppose? 1089 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 17: You know, it's exactly a real time cinema matters not 1090 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 17: to go full in on the why eyes over it 1091 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 17: works in this case. But if you look at poland 1092 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 17: right now, you're gonna see majority support for strong action. 1093 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 17: But what poling doesn't show you is the growing anxiety 1094 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 17: about cost. And we see that shift. I see it 1095 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 17: every day happening before shows up the poles. And that's 1096 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 17: the difference. And so voters aren't thinking about to try 1097 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 17: to tie it back to where I started, the straight 1098 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,520 Speaker 17: and foremost as foreign policy. They're thinking about it in 1099 00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 17: gas type prices. So the question is that she'll be strong, 1100 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 17: it's can you be strong without making my life more expensive? 1101 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 3: And that's what do they believe? Then, So when Vance 1102 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 3: goes out there and says, this is not going to 1103 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 3: be a forever war, we know things suck, we know 1104 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 3: you're hurting. We're doing everything we can. It's a temporary 1105 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 3: blip hang with us. Is that the right play in 1106 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 3: your view? If you were advising him, It's. 1107 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 16: Almost like he sees our reports or something right. 1108 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 3: I know what, when we get back, can I ask 1109 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 3: you too? I don't know how much you've been combing 1110 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,040 Speaker 3: over this Save Act stuff? Have you? Have you guys 1111 00:58:58,080 --> 00:58:59,080 Speaker 3: been watching that at ees Over? 1112 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 16: Yes? 1113 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 3: Okay? Good. When we get back, here's what I'd love 1114 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 3: to ask you, because I'm going to speak with one 1115 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:10,160 Speaker 3: of the senators in the middle of this fracas from Oklahoma, 1116 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 3: James Langford. Chris Wilson's at Eyes Over. He is the 1117 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 3: CEO there. When we get back. I'll let you chew 1118 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,520 Speaker 3: on this for a second, Chris, And my question is 1119 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 3: you're talking about this philipbuster. Everybody's learning a lot about 1120 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 3: the philibuster and whether they should blow it up or 1121 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 3: whether they should demand the Democrats do watch them as 1122 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 3: a talking filibuster and defend their position on stopping voter 1123 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 3: ID Is this a worthwhile fight for Republicans to have. 1124 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 3: That's my political question moren a minute. Good morning, Tampa, Florida. 1125 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 3: Thanks for listening on AM five seventy.

With our partners at Food for 1172 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:58,440 Speaker 3: the Poor, we're back with CEO of Eyes over Chris Wilson. So, Chris, 1173 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 3: I left you with a little question for the break, 1174 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 3: and that is the Save America Act John Thune and Republicans. 1175 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 3: Should they fight this thing to the death? Proverbially politically? 1176 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 3: Should they blow up the philli? But how aggressive? How 1177 01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 3: important is the Save America Act? Are people paying attention 1178 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 3: to it? You're watching online? 1179 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:16,919 Speaker 18: Yeah? 1180 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:18,840 Speaker 17: I would say what Center Lee is trying to do 1181 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 17: with the talking filibuster is he's trying to connect a 1182 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,919 Speaker 17: high trust issue that voters care about, the Save Act, 1183 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 17: And there's no question is supported across political parties to 1184 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 17: a low trust process, fight the filibuster and then use 1185 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 17: one to prussure the other. And strategically it's a really 1186 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 17: smart move, but I think it's got to be handled carefully. 1187 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 16: And what Lee understands something important. 1188 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 17: Voters don't care about the filibuster, but they do care 1189 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,439 Speaker 17: about election integrity, and so what he's effectively doing is saying, 1190 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,400 Speaker 17: if Democrats are blocking something voters see is common sense 1191 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,360 Speaker 17: like verifying citizenship to vote, which most countries and around 1192 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,920 Speaker 17: the world have, then why should the filibuster protect that obstructure? 1193 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 16: And so I would say, when you. 1194 01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,920 Speaker 17: Tie election integrity and accountability procedural blocking, it sort of 1195 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 17: creates the elites versus non elites. Fine, and I think 1196 01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,520 Speaker 17: all in all, it is a smart move and it 1197 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 17: would be good for you. Mention you're gonna have Center 1198 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,280 Speaker 17: mink for it on for my home state, and I 1199 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,440 Speaker 17: seeing those centers get on board with him is important, 1200 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 17: and it's a smart move for Republicans and for twenty 1201 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 17: twenty six. 1202 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 16: Voters want systems they can trust. 1203 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,280 Speaker 17: They want whether it's elections, borders, NASA security, the economy. 1204 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 17: So time election integrity, institutional accountability is politically strong, but 1205 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 17: time it's precent a procedure obviously is not. 1206 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 16: And I think Mike Lee is trying to turn. 1207 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 17: The filled invester from a rules debate into a trust debate, 1208 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 17: and frankly, that's the only way this works politically, and 1209 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 17: it's smart the way that he's handling it. 1210 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 3: It's the economy stupid. Everybody gets it. If we're still 1211 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,520 Speaker 3: paying three and four dollars a gallon for gas, that's 1212 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,480 Speaker 3: squeezing people. House prices don't come down, fed held, the 1213 01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,880 Speaker 3: interest rate, the whole thing. If the economy doesn't improve, 1214 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 3: it's trouble right for the Republicans, no matter how crazy 1215 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 3: the Democrats are. True, I mean, there's no getting out. 1216 01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 3: You can't sugarcoat it. 1217 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,520 Speaker 16: It could be devasted, and I think that's the key issue. 1218 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 16: It's about affordability. 1219 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,720 Speaker 17: In our reports every week, and any of your listeners 1220 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 17: who haven't signed up, go to my Twitter account or 1221 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 17: go to our website and eyesover dot us and sign up. 1222 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 16: You can get it for free. Don't say share with 1223 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 16: your Democrat friends. 1224 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 17: And every week we measure the public on where they 1225 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:17,560 Speaker 17: are on accountability, but. 1226 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,640 Speaker 16: Also where they are on overall e litis. 1227 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 17: Where do they feel about the trust toward government and 1228 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,600 Speaker 17: those that are governing us, because that's where we see 1229 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 17: sort of the juxtaposition there. But getting back to our 1230 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 17: whole first conversation about prices, cost of living, If Republicans 1231 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 17: can't message and help voters understand about how the economy's improving, yeah, 1232 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:36,920 Speaker 17: twenty twenty six is not going to be a fun 1233 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 17: election night for GOP campaigns. 1234 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. And is there time I guess the question is 1235 01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 3: for Republicans if you're counseling in the mist, there are 1236 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 3: time to write this ship. 1237 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 16: Yeah. Absolutely, there is this all the time in the 1238 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:49,720 Speaker 16: world right now. 1239 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 17: And I would say what I see coming out of 1240 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 17: the White House, and you mentioned Jdie Dance, they are 1241 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:57,680 Speaker 17: on message. I think every once in a while you 1242 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 17: see Republicans get a little bit off message in the caucuses. 1243 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,080 Speaker 17: So it is important that they follow the lead of 1244 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 17: Vice Present Advanced President Trump because they do have their 1245 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,520 Speaker 17: messaging right on this. They understand the importance of these 1246 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 17: issues and the communication on it and I think that 1247 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,440 Speaker 17: is if we can get together and sing from the 1248 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 17: same song book as a GOP party, then we're going 1249 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:18,520 Speaker 17: to be in good shape. 1250 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 16: And frankly, the Save Act does tie into that. 1251 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 3: Chris, Yeah, and just briefly, really quick. I try not 1252 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,640 Speaker 3: to even make it about other shows or whatever, but 1253 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 3: that the whole Tucker Meghan Kelly thing like that. Is 1254 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 3: that resonating because the polling says one thing. But do 1255 01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 3: these shows who have millions of listeners and it's it's 1256 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,960 Speaker 3: gotten decidedly aggressively anti Trump? In my view? Is that 1257 01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,280 Speaker 3: is that a problem or not? Really? In your view? 1258 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:43,240 Speaker 1: What do you hear see? 1259 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 17: It's really not, I would say where it is a 1260 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,479 Speaker 17: problem is I have seen a rise, a disturbing rise, 1261 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 17: and sort of an anti Semitic cinement in some on 1262 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 17: the right, but we are seeing it start to dissipate again. 1263 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,720 Speaker 17: So I think they're moving their their communication authority there 1264 01:05:58,800 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 17: slowly over. 1265 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 3: Time izover dot us.

I read all my emails, try to respond 1329 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 3: as best I can whenever I can, and as always, 1330 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 3: thanks again to all of you who have been so 1331 01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 3: generous in helping us get to that halfway mark, and 1332 01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 3: I think we're going to by tomorrow for our friends 1333 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 3: at Food for the Poor trying to reach that forty 1334 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,679 Speaker 3: thousand dollars goal throughout this campaign, and the halfway point 1335 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,960 Speaker 3: would come in week number two. That would be sweet 1336 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:16,920 Speaker 3: and right on pace. So thank you so much in 1337 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 3: advance for your Food for the Poor donations. It just 1338 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 3: it means the world to me to be able to 1339 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,679 Speaker 3: go to them and say this audience is helping them 1340 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 3: spread the gospel and help feed and hidrate, to nourish 1341 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 3: people spiritually, physically, emotionally throughout some of the poorest regions 1342 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,800 Speaker 3: in the Western Hemisphere. Food for the Poor. That's the 1343 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,200 Speaker 3: Give Living Water banner at the top of the page. 1344 01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:47,280 Speaker 3: Chris stigaul dot com. This Caesar Chavez Day that is 1345 01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 3: often celebrated. 1346 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:48,720 Speaker 1: Are you? 1347 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 3: Are you? The labor movement in this country has been 1348 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,640 Speaker 3: celebrating fast Eddie, Caesar Chavez. You know this around Philadelphia 1349 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 3: Caesar Chavez Day. I think there's a Caesar Chavez Way. 1350 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,679 Speaker 3: Every major city I think has a Caesar Chavez Lane 1351 01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 3: or boulevard or way or something, don't they. 1352 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:12,719 Speaker 4: Yes, I think so, yeah, as common as MLK drive. 1353 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,799 Speaker 3: Yes. In fact, someone I think it was Bethany Mandel 1354 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,559 Speaker 3: on X yesterday said that there are some one hundred 1355 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,479 Speaker 3: and sixty different schools across the country named Caesar Chavez 1356 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 3: Elementary or Caesar Chavez Middle School or whatever. Oh boy, well, 1357 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,280 Speaker 3: that's about to get very uncomfortable if you didn't hear 1358 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,040 Speaker 3: the story. Governors in Texas and Arizona said yesterday they 1359 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 3: are canceling their state celebrations of Caesar Chavez Day, and 1360 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 3: communities across the West looking to follow suit after stunning 1361 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:47,360 Speaker 3: new allegations that the late Hispanic civil rights hero groomed 1362 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:53,479 Speaker 3: and raped women, including young girls, who volunteered for his movement. 1363 01:10:54,800 --> 01:11:02,400 Speaker 3: The reports bolstered by a woman who who worked alongside him, 1364 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:06,639 Speaker 3: and she's now, I guess in her nineties. She revealed 1365 01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 3: she was forced into sexual encounters with him in the 1366 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:16,559 Speaker 3: sixties as an adult. Oh oh, the knowledge that he 1367 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 3: hurt young girl sickens me. My heart aches for everyone 1368 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 3: who suffered alone and in silence for years. There are 1369 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,720 Speaker 3: no words strong enough to condemn the deplorable actions that 1370 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:30,719 Speaker 3: he did. This woman, Delores Huerta, said in a statement. Again, 1371 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 3: she's in her nineties now. Powerful men using status to 1372 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,960 Speaker 3: prey on women and girls, Well, if they've been given 1373 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 3: public honors the way Caesar Chavez has public honors must 1374 01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:50,360 Speaker 3: die period. I mean, Harvey Weinstein, need we look any 1375 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 3: further there? Now it's Caesar Chavez his turn. After this 1376 01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:01,720 Speaker 3: major New York Times investigation just dropped. The Democrats, socialist 1377 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 3: saint and farm worker hero now accused of grooming and 1378 01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:10,439 Speaker 3: sexually abusing girls as young as twelve and thirteen while 1379 01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:15,839 Speaker 3: preaching to protect the powerless. So now the hammer has fallen, 1380 01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 3: and Miss Huerta, his longtime partner, sixty years of silence, 1381 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 3: she just speaks up and shatters it. At ninety five 1382 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:30,959 Speaker 3: years of age, she described other man she revered, manipulated, pressured, 1383 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 3: and straight up forced her into sex against her will, 1384 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 3: each time resulting in pregnancies that she kept secret for decades. 1385 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:45,559 Speaker 3: The children raised by other families, even Chavez his own family, 1386 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 3: admitted impropriety with women and miners, and they said they 1387 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 3: were both shocked and saddened. I remember Barack Obama declared 1388 01:12:54,439 --> 01:13:00,080 Speaker 3: Caesar Chavez a national monument, and he awarded Huerta the 1389 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 3: Presidential Medal of Freedom. Pure irony, of course, because it's 1390 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 3: all fraud, all cover ups for the cause. This is 1391 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,320 Speaker 3: the same leftist rot that we have watched for decades, 1392 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:16,679 Speaker 3: whether it's Clinton or Kennedy or Weinstein or Epstein, radical 1393 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:21,600 Speaker 3: left icons who screamed justice for the vulnerable, all the 1394 01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:26,200 Speaker 3: while raping and exploiting them instead, and Chavez was their 1395 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 3: poster boy for socialist holiness. Of course, public achievements cannot 1396 01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:37,000 Speaker 3: erase child rape, nor should they. Movements popular with Democrats 1397 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 3: don't justify praying on the powerless. Good causes don't excuse 1398 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 3: evil just because it's a good cause. And it's good 1399 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:51,680 Speaker 3: to see frankly, that the collapse has already started. The 1400 01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 3: United farm Workers have dumped Caesar Chavez Day events, as 1401 01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:01,679 Speaker 3: I said, across Texas and Arizona celebrate getting canceled all 1402 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:06,760 Speaker 3: over the Southwest. Arizona's governor, in fact, won't recognize the 1403 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:11,599 Speaker 3: holiday ever again. Newsome is floating something called farm Worker 1404 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 3: Day instead. Cities are scrambling to rip his name off 1405 01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,599 Speaker 3: of every school and park and street they can. There's 1406 01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:23,320 Speaker 3: even a ten mile Fresno boulevard named after Caesar. Shop 1407 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:27,600 Speaker 3: is that they've got to deal with now. And of 1408 01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,599 Speaker 3: course that's not a racing history. That's ending. The left's 1409 01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 3: disgusting endorsement of a predator. Public honor is an endorsement, 1410 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:42,080 Speaker 3: after all, and endorsement demands standards. Democrats usually only apply 1411 01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 3: that to Republicans, but the evidence in this case is damning. 1412 01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:54,599 Speaker 3: The legend of mister Chavez is dead. Time to take 1413 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,520 Speaker 3: down his name everywhere it's found, certainly on our schools. 1414 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:03,560 Speaker 3: For heaven's sakes, we're done with the BS narratives from Democrats. 1415 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 3: It's time to apply the same rules to their saints 1416 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:09,840 Speaker 3: that they have demanded of everyone else, and no exceptions. 1417 01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:15,559 Speaker 3: By the way, Islamists should be on deck. They abuse 1418 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,960 Speaker 3: women and girls and young boys. 1419 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:19,479 Speaker 1: For that matter. 1420 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,559 Speaker 3: If you look it up, pretty horrific stuff, and they 1421 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 3: do it on an industrial scale, child marriage, honor killings, 1422 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:36,639 Speaker 3: grooming gangs, dancing boys, look it up, forced coverings from 1423 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 3: head to toe with slits for eyes, and worse, look 1424 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:41,680 Speaker 3: it up. You don't have to take my word for it. 1425 01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:45,880 Speaker 3: And the Left stays silent because it doesn't fit their narrative. Well, 1426 01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 3: I can assure you here on this show we will 1427 01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 3: not stay silent about it. Just wanted to bring you 1428 01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:55,679 Speaker 3: up to speed on that if you had not heard. Meanwhile, 1429 01:15:55,720 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 3: in New York, the governor there, Kathy Hokel kind of 1430 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:05,400 Speaker 3: amazing came out this week and just owned it. We 1431 01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,120 Speaker 3: can't keep rich people in our state because we're squeezing 1432 01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 3: them to death. They're running out of here, and we 1433 01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 3: can't keep funding all of this social welfare stuff that 1434 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 3: we conjure up and all of this big government spending 1435 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,920 Speaker 3: without rich people. So, rich people, I need you to 1436 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,280 Speaker 3: come back here. This is really quite extraordinary. Give me 1437 01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 3: number eighty nine. 1438 01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 20: I need people who are high net worth to support 1439 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,840 Speaker 20: the generous social programs that we want to have in 1440 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:33,400 Speaker 20: our state. Right now, there are some patriotic millionaires who 1441 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:34,000 Speaker 20: stepped up. 1442 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 1: Okay, cut me the checks. I mean, just if you 1443 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:39,480 Speaker 1: want to be supportive. 1444 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:41,680 Speaker 20: But maybe the first step should be go down to 1445 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 20: Palm Beach and see what you can bring back home. 1446 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 3: She wants to go down to Palm Beach, Florida and 1447 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 3: start rounding up the rich former New Yorkers and forcing 1448 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,519 Speaker 3: them to come home. That's refreshing irony, isn't it? Fast Eddy? 1449 01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll give her that. The governor of New 1450 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 3: York is actually admitting it. We can't function unless we 1451 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 3: have rich people, and we recognize that we've driven them 1452 01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,160 Speaker 3: all out. So the patriotic thing, of course, is to 1453 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,720 Speaker 3: come home and pay the taxes that we heap on you. 1454 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,640 Speaker 3: I love that message. The patriotic thing is for you 1455 01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 3: to leave Florida, come back to New York, and let 1456 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:16,960 Speaker 3: us tax you to death so we can continue to 1457 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,200 Speaker 3: fund our big government initiatives. 1458 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 4: It's great honesty. The only problem is they haven't answered 1459 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:26,360 Speaker 4: the question. Are legals receiving the same benefits as they 1460 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,320 Speaker 4: were before when they were being shipped up from the 1461 01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,360 Speaker 4: border into New York City, Like our tax paying New 1462 01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:34,840 Speaker 4: York is still responsible for them if that happens again. 1463 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:36,759 Speaker 1: It's a great question. 1464 01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,519 Speaker 3: By the way, John Fetterman has endorsed Nick Shirley's actions 1465 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 3: out there in California. Speaking of fraud, we'll get into 1466 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 3: that coming up. James Langford is still on the way 1467 01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,120 Speaker 3: to Senator from Oklahoma as we get closer perhaps to 1468 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,559 Speaker 3: having a vote one way or the other on the 1469 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:59,679 Speaker 3: Save Act. Meanwhile, you're talking about in Israel sirens blaring 1470 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:03,479 Speaker 3: with regularity. That is a place that if you live there, 1471 01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 3: if you have friends there or acquaintances there, you know 1472 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 3: that they're constantly under fire seconds to grab valuables or 1473 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 3: loved ones, Whether it's children or elderly and get into 1474 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 3: a bomb shelter where you may stay for hours or 1475 01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:18,439 Speaker 3: even days because you can't if you're an older person, 1476 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 3: you can't make the trek back and forth, so maybe 1477 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 3: you just stay. This is a traumatic thing for families 1478 01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,479 Speaker 3: who are exhausted, kids who are scared, older people who 1479 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,559 Speaker 3: may not even really be able to be very mobile. 1480 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:35,879 Speaker 3: Homes are destroyed while we watch Iran and their proxies 1481 01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 3: attack Israel, and Israel trying to defend itself from people 1482 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:45,360 Speaker 3: like Hesbola to their north or Hamas to their west. 1483 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,200 Speaker 3: Emergency supplies are needed more than ever. And whether you 1484 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 3: are supportive of the politics or what have you, it 1485 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 3: doesn't matter. These are people in Israel and standing with Israel. 1486 01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 3: If that matters to you, it matters to IFCJ, the 1487 01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,320 Speaker 3: International Fellowship of Crest since in Jews, you can support 1488 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:05,200 Speaker 3: them by going to support IFCJ dot org. All right, So, 1489 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,519 Speaker 3: Nick Shirley, we talked about him yesterday. You hrumfers know 1490 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,919 Speaker 3: I was talking about him over at the Harum Society yesterday. 1491 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:15,600 Speaker 3: He is uncovered fraud to the tune of hundreds of 1492 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:22,639 Speaker 3: billions of dollars in California John Fetterman, who again continues 1493 01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 3: to vote with Democrats. So always be aware that the 1494 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,200 Speaker 3: John Fetterman who speaks in media is different than the 1495 01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 3: John Fetterman who votes with Democrats in the Senate. But 1496 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,599 Speaker 3: to the extent that he speaks in media, he's often 1497 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 3: helpful to our point of view. And so here we go. 1498 01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 21: Number one, why can't you celebrate any journalist or any 1499 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:48,719 Speaker 21: you know, activists doing that? And what you know, Governor 1500 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 21: knws to put out a disgusting video implying that he's, 1501 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 21: you know, a pedophile or he's that Like why you know, 1502 01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 21: like I mean, like that's like kind of a smear, 1503 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 21: you know, like you may you want to disagree or 1504 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,560 Speaker 21: but to imply that someone someone in one of the 1505 01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 21: most gross kinds of terms like that, Well, it's like, hey, 1506 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:13,640 Speaker 21: shouldn't we agree. 1507 01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:16,120 Speaker 16: Like, you know, eliminate all the waste? 1508 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,639 Speaker 3: Yeah? Here again, I mean I appreciate the sentiment, how 1509 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:28,080 Speaker 3: will he vote? Will continue to watch, But that's John 1510 01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,839 Speaker 3: Fetterman saying, Hey, Newsom, why don't you eliminate the waste? 1511 01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,960 Speaker 3: That'll be a campaign ad, I'm certain for those running 1512 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 3: against Gavin Newsom if in fact he thinks he's going 1513 01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:42,160 Speaker 3: to run for higher office. Tulsea Gabbard yesterday was called 1514 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:47,160 Speaker 3: before a subcommittee to talk about the INTEL leading up 1515 01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,360 Speaker 3: to the strike on Iran. Of course, her colleague Joe Kent, 1516 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:54,960 Speaker 3: who resigned and released this letter. It's now been uncovered 1517 01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 3: that he was actually under investigation by the FBI four 1518 01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 3: weeks ahead of his resignation. That he has not had 1519 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 3: at the table for some time. But he was a 1520 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:09,000 Speaker 3: close colleague of Tulsi Gabbards. And here's what she had 1521 01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:11,680 Speaker 3: to say yesterday about whether the INTEL was there to 1522 01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:12,760 Speaker 3: strike Iran or not. 1523 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 22: Number two, The only person who can determine and what 1524 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:19,519 Speaker 22: is and is not an eminent threat is the President. 1525 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 1: False. 1526 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,559 Speaker 23: This is the Worldwide this is the Worldwide Threats Hearing 1527 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 23: where you present to Congress national intelligence, timely, objective and 1528 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:31,560 Speaker 23: independent of political considerations. You've stated today that the intelligence 1529 01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:35,920 Speaker 23: community's assessment is that Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated, 1530 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,559 Speaker 23: and that quote there had been no efforts since then 1531 01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:42,240 Speaker 23: to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. Was it the 1532 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:48,760 Speaker 23: intelligence community's assessment that, nevertheless, despite this obliteration, there was 1533 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,799 Speaker 23: a quote imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime. 1534 01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,400 Speaker 22: Yes or no, it is not the intelligence community's responsibility 1535 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:57,759 Speaker 22: to determine what is and is not an imminent threat. 1536 01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:02,160 Speaker 3: A lot of people are trying to make Hay over 1537 01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:06,120 Speaker 3: Tulca Gabbard not confirming that she could say definitively. She 1538 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 3: did not say definitively that there was a threat. She said, 1539 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 3: we gathered the intel, we handed it to the boss. 1540 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,519 Speaker 3: The boss called the shots. Ed your thoughts on that. 1541 01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,719 Speaker 3: A lot of people don't trust Gabbard. I should remind 1542 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:20,479 Speaker 3: you that she was the number two chick at the 1543 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,680 Speaker 3: DNC for a while. She was a Bernie bro So 1544 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,160 Speaker 3: keep that in mind. But you think what about this now? 1545 01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:31,800 Speaker 3: I think that she answered appropriately. We saw exactly just 1546 01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,760 Speaker 3: what happened with Joe Kent. This was the right call. 1547 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:35,680 Speaker 1: Well, how is. 1548 01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:37,559 Speaker 4: Trump going to make a strike like this if he's 1549 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,040 Speaker 4: just telling everybody. 1550 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:42,360 Speaker 3: What's going on? Yeah, more in a minute here. James 1551 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:44,960 Speaker 3: Langford on the way. We're always thrilled when he can 1552 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,880 Speaker 3: make time for us, particularly given the news that is 1553 01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,599 Speaker 3: swirling around the United States Senate. He represents Oklahoma. We 1554 01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,280 Speaker 3: were just talking about him a minute ago. He is 1555 01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:57,240 Speaker 3: James Langford of the United States Senate. He also happens 1556 01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,639 Speaker 3: to sit on what was a very high profile committee 1557 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:05,439 Speaker 3: yesterday in the midst of this discussion about both Tulci 1558 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 3: Gabbard and Intel and related information on the strikes in Iran, 1559 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 3: and his colleague in the Senate from Oklahoma, Mark Wayne Mullen, 1560 01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,120 Speaker 3: who will take over at Homeland Security, and so Senator, 1561 01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 3: busy day yesterday, Good morning. 1562 01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:20,920 Speaker 18: Good morning. So yes very busy day to yesterday. I 1563 01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,280 Speaker 18: was bouncing back and forth between committee hearings that were. 1564 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:30,679 Speaker 3: Both very important. Let's start with Iran. There's an individual 1565 01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:33,120 Speaker 3: named Joe Kent, who you know, who's left the administration 1566 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,840 Speaker 3: and is saying that President Trump effectively was duped into 1567 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:41,240 Speaker 3: a conflict with Iran, that the intelligence wasn't there. People 1568 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,400 Speaker 3: make of Tulsi Gabbard's testimony that she's not saying the 1569 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,360 Speaker 3: intel was there, but rather deferring to the commander in 1570 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 3: chief and saying it's his call to make I just 1571 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 3: provide him with the information. Did you hear Tulsi Gabbard 1572 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,600 Speaker 3: say she felt there was evidence to strike Iran or 1573 01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,080 Speaker 3: did she just say that's the boss's job to decide. 1574 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,719 Speaker 18: It sounded pretty clear like she was saying the boss's 1575 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,040 Speaker 18: job is to decide on the other side of that. 1576 01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,240 Speaker 18: The Director of CIA, John Radcliffe, was very very clear 1577 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,840 Speaker 18: there's a very real threat from Iran, and he went 1578 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,559 Speaker 18: through the whole list on it, both a nuclear threat 1579 01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,400 Speaker 18: and their restar of the nuclear program, their ballistics program, 1580 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:20,439 Speaker 18: their short attack drones that they put out there there 1581 01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,120 Speaker 18: they're one way attack drones. What they're doing to Americans 1582 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,080 Speaker 18: in the region. We've had Americans attacked in the region 1583 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:30,639 Speaker 18: one hundred and eighty times in the last four years alone. So, yes, 1584 01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,080 Speaker 18: there's a very real threat coming from Iran, and he 1585 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:34,759 Speaker 18: outlined that very clearly in the hearing. 1586 01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:39,520 Speaker 3: So any notion that this individual who left the administration 1587 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 3: and now has kind of made a big public splash 1588 01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:44,680 Speaker 3: by saying there was no evidence in the president was 1589 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:50,840 Speaker 3: artificially led into this, how should Americans receive that information. 1590 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,600 Speaker 18: Well, they should receive it as one person's opinion, But 1591 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,320 Speaker 18: I would say the overwhelming evidence that we have seen 1592 01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 18: is that, yes, there's a very real, growing threat. Now, 1593 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,160 Speaker 18: I think what Joe is trying to say is there 1594 01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 18: wasn't a threat of Iran launching a missile and hitting Kansas. Well, 1595 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,599 Speaker 18: that's true. They don't have a missile that can hit Kansas, 1596 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,639 Speaker 18: but we have three quarters of a million Americans that 1597 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,280 Speaker 18: live in that region and work in that region, and 1598 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,719 Speaker 18: Iran was constantly finding ways to be able to attack them. 1599 01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:24,679 Speaker 18: So was at Israel at a greater existential threat than 1600 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:28,479 Speaker 18: the mainland of America. Yes, because Iran does have missiles 1601 01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 18: that can reach Israel, that's true, rather than just America. 1602 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 18: But Iran was definitely going after every American that they 1603 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 18: could reach in the region and finding ways to be 1604 01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:39,800 Speaker 18: able to attack them. 1605 01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 3: Jadie Vance went out on the campaign trio yesterday. I 1606 01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,719 Speaker 3: say campaign trio talking about midterms, talking about gas prices. 1607 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,759 Speaker 3: He says, we get it. We don't want gas prices 1608 01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,639 Speaker 3: to go up they are. That stinks. We're not going 1609 01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,280 Speaker 3: to be in Iran forever. We're going to be smart 1610 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:56,840 Speaker 3: about this. We're going to get out and we're going 1611 01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:58,800 Speaker 3: to fix the gas price issue. But we hear you. 1612 01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 3: It's not ideal right now? Now, is that the message? 1613 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 3: Because I know it puts Republicans in a box right now. 1614 01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,040 Speaker 18: So the President's made it even clearer saying this is. 1615 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,479 Speaker 1: Short term pain for long term gain. 1616 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 18: That if we can ever stop Iran from constantly choking 1617 01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 18: down the straight of war moves, just back and forth 1618 01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 18: in constantly trying to be able to dial that up 1619 01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,800 Speaker 18: and down to control the world's oil prices. Then a 1620 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,200 Speaker 18: long term this would be very helpful. What Iran is 1621 01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:26,920 Speaker 18: doing right now in the straight of war moves is 1622 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,760 Speaker 18: what they've done multiple times over the past decades, and 1623 01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:32,880 Speaker 18: so trying to be able to get that to stop 1624 01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:35,880 Speaker 18: so the long term we can have price stability. It's also, 1625 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:37,680 Speaker 18: if I can just say a side note on this, 1626 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 18: a pretty big reminder why it's very important for America 1627 01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 18: to provide its own energy, because if we were dependent 1628 01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,760 Speaker 18: on the Middle East as we were decades ago, this 1629 01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:51,280 Speaker 18: would be much much worse. The price is at global price, 1630 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,519 Speaker 18: but we are actually providing our own energy on the 1631 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 18: whole now and that makes a big difference. 1632 01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 3: Oklahoma Senator James Langford with us, your colleague, they're in Oklahoma. 1633 01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,960 Speaker 3: Mark Waynemullen, slated to be the next Department of Homeland 1634 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:09,479 Speaker 3: Security Secretary Little Rocky with your colleague yesterday. I think 1635 01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,599 Speaker 3: it's fair to say that he and ran Paul are 1636 01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:14,880 Speaker 3: not friends. Mark Wayne Ullen and Ran Paul. Ran Paul 1637 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:19,000 Speaker 3: was effectively saying, your colleague from Oklahoma doesn't have the temperament, 1638 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 3: he's too much of a hot head and doesn't belong 1639 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,720 Speaker 3: in Homeland Security because of it. You say about that, what. 1640 01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,120 Speaker 18: Yeah, I say, that's absolutely not true. I think the 1641 01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 18: frustration between Rand and between Mark Wayne boiled over yesterday, 1642 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:37,599 Speaker 18: and Okay, fine, I get that the issue still sits 1643 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 18: out there. Is he qualified to be able to do it. 1644 01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:43,479 Speaker 18: Is he passionate about law enforcement? Is he frustrated that 1645 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,519 Speaker 18: we are not funding right now homeland security? Shirt? All 1646 01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,320 Speaker 18: those things are true, and he is ready to be 1647 01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:50,760 Speaker 18: able to get to work and to be able to 1648 01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:52,720 Speaker 18: try to fight to be able to keep American be 1649 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,720 Speaker 18: able safe. He was also very clear with Rand to say, hey, 1650 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 18: I'm going to fight for the security of Kentuckians the 1651 01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 18: same as fight for Oklahomas and all Americans. So don't 1652 01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 18: take this wrong that the two of us disagree on 1653 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,920 Speaker 18: a lot of issues that I'm not going to actually 1654 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:09,920 Speaker 18: fight for the security of Kentucky as well. I'm not 1655 01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,880 Speaker 18: going to hold this out on those people. I'm going 1656 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:14,559 Speaker 18: to actually work to be able to make sure they're 1657 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,679 Speaker 18: secure as well. No grudges here on the people of Kentucky. 1658 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:21,160 Speaker 1: Just don't get along with rant I. 1659 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:22,680 Speaker 3: Hear that he has the votes to get out of 1660 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:25,040 Speaker 3: committee and probably the votes to be confirmed. Is that 1661 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 3: what you understand. 1662 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:28,640 Speaker 18: He does actually and please be able see that. We 1663 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,559 Speaker 18: should have a committee vote today to be able to 1664 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:33,719 Speaker 18: move him out of committee and literally in the next hour, 1665 01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:36,679 Speaker 18: and then he'll move to the floor early next week 1666 01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,200 Speaker 18: to be able to actually get confirmed and then get 1667 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 18: to work. We've got two hundred and fifty thousand federal 1668 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,320 Speaker 18: workers at DHS right now that are ready for a 1669 01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,840 Speaker 18: leader and quite frankly ready for funding. We're ready for 1670 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,760 Speaker 18: Democrats to release their chokehold on DHS because they're mad 1671 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:55,240 Speaker 18: at Ice. For some reason, they seem to be more 1672 01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:57,240 Speaker 18: concerned about the threat of Ice than they are about 1673 01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 18: a threat of Iran. But we are very very focus 1674 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 18: on let's get the funding back going again and to 1675 01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:05,599 Speaker 18: be able to get back into security now. 1676 01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:09,320 Speaker 3: To the Save Act. Senator Thun was on with Martha 1677 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,559 Speaker 3: McCallum yesterday. Give me number ninety nine here, Fellows, if 1678 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 3: you would please, and Senator Langford, I'd love to get 1679 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,680 Speaker 3: your response to this exchange yesterday on. 1680 01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:19,439 Speaker 24: Fox in order to get around the sixty vote threshold, 1681 01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,640 Speaker 24: you would have to new the legislative philibuster, and there 1682 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,720 Speaker 24: aren't the votes for that. I've said that over and 1683 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:28,759 Speaker 24: over and over again, and so it's a math issue. 1684 01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:29,680 Speaker 3: It isn't whether. 1685 01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 24: I want to do this or you know, a question 1686 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,120 Speaker 24: of leadership. It's a question of you have fifty three 1687 01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 24: Senate Republicans, all of whom have their own views on 1688 01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 24: these issues, and they decide how they vote. 1689 01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 3: So the question before us is the Save Act universally popular. 1690 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,040 Speaker 3: Everybody understands that most of the country, most voters support 1691 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:51,880 Speaker 3: the idea of the idea to vote, but it's got 1692 01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:53,640 Speaker 3: to pass through the Senate, and this notion of the 1693 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 3: filibusters stopping it or not is the key. So can 1694 01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,639 Speaker 3: you just you know, talk to me like I'm five here, 1695 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:03,439 Speaker 3: senator here and explain why something so easy with the 1696 01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 3: American public is not in the Senate. 1697 01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 18: Yeah, it has been very frustrated to be able to 1698 01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,719 Speaker 18: walk through this. The Senate rules set up for three 1699 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:12,960 Speaker 18: fifths of the body have to agree to be able 1700 01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,759 Speaker 18: to debate something or to bring the debate to a close. 1701 01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,960 Speaker 18: That is, sixty votes are necessary to be able to 1702 01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,040 Speaker 18: do this. It's the only legislative body in the world. 1703 01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:24,400 Speaker 18: It's like that, but it forces both sides that disagree 1704 01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:27,320 Speaker 18: to have to find common ground. It has been that 1705 01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:30,880 Speaker 18: way for a century to do that, and prior to that, 1706 01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,680 Speaker 18: it was what everyone called the talking filibuster, which is 1707 01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:36,679 Speaker 18: basically you got to stand up and control the floor. 1708 01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:39,439 Speaker 18: At that point, it only took three or four people, 1709 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:41,960 Speaker 18: and they could actually shut down the entire Senate. It 1710 01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,000 Speaker 18: wasn't forty, it was three or four. And so the 1711 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 18: body decided in nineteen seventeen, hey, we're going to make you. 1712 01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:49,840 Speaker 3: You've got to. 1713 01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:51,559 Speaker 18: Be able to have a much larger group to be 1714 01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 18: able to block the entire functioning of the Senate. You 1715 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,360 Speaker 18: can't have three or four. Our problem right now was 1716 01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,479 Speaker 18: a bill that we feel like it's so popular and 1717 01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:02,479 Speaker 18: people have been very supportive of to have voter ID, 1718 01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:05,639 Speaker 18: which we have in Oklahoma. In fact, in Oklahoma even 1719 01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:08,479 Speaker 18: to do mail in balloting, you've got to have voter ID, 1720 01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 18: and so we are a very very secure system in 1721 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:15,400 Speaker 18: our state. So that's very popular. It's used in many 1722 01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:17,360 Speaker 18: parts of the country, but rejected in many parts of 1723 01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 18: the country. And then the nineteen sixty five Voting Rights 1724 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:25,080 Speaker 18: Act begins with a simple phrase, every citizen of the 1725 01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:27,720 Speaker 18: United States. But there is no way to be able 1726 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 18: to verify that. So we want to make sure that 1727 01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:32,640 Speaker 18: it is only citizens of the United States that are 1728 01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:36,120 Speaker 18: actually voting. We also think that's very common sense to 1729 01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:38,240 Speaker 18: be able to do that and to be able to 1730 01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,320 Speaker 18: have some way to both trust and verify. So we're 1731 01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 18: trying to be able to bring this bill to the floor. 1732 01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:46,840 Speaker 18: Our Democratic colleagues have said, this is Jim Crow two 1733 01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 18: point zero, as they call it, and it's racist to 1734 01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,879 Speaker 18: be able to show ID. I don't think it's racist 1735 01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:56,360 Speaker 18: to show ID. It happens in grocery stores all over 1736 01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,160 Speaker 18: the country, it happens in places of every single federal 1737 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,360 Speaker 18: building in the country. You've got to be able to 1738 01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,280 Speaker 18: show idea to come in. That's our racist to show 1739 01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,240 Speaker 18: ID to walk into a federal building. So we're trying 1740 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 18: to be able to get folks to just say, hey, 1741 01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:09,799 Speaker 18: let's have some common sense here and let's. 1742 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:12,599 Speaker 3: Get this done. And so Senator for people that say, 1743 01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:16,800 Speaker 3: let's make the Democrats defend against what you just said, 1744 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:18,720 Speaker 3: Make the Democrats make the case for why what you 1745 01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 3: just said doesn't make sense, make them talk this out, 1746 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:23,680 Speaker 3: make them go, mister Smith goes to Washington. Let's do 1747 01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:27,519 Speaker 3: the filibuster bit, the talking filibuster. You say about that, 1748 01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,160 Speaker 3: what should they do that? Should they be made to 1749 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:29,400 Speaker 3: do that? 1750 01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 18: Yes, that is perfectly within the rules, and I have 1751 01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:34,760 Speaker 18: no issue with actually going through that process on it. 1752 01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:37,240 Speaker 18: The decision has to be made on it. Can we 1753 01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:40,160 Speaker 18: still win it? Can we win enough votes to be 1754 01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:42,000 Speaker 18: able to maintain that? That will be a couple of 1755 01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,400 Speaker 18: months that we'd actually be on the floor. There's also 1756 01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,479 Speaker 18: a lot of amendments that will come up because during 1757 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:52,880 Speaker 18: that process it is unlimited amendments. There are also folks 1758 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:54,680 Speaker 18: to say, well, you can only do two speeches in 1759 01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:57,880 Speaker 18: a day, and I smile and go, well, that's actually true, 1760 01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,160 Speaker 18: but it's actually two speeches in an issue. I mean 1761 01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:02,719 Speaker 18: to bring up a new amendment, you get two speeches. 1762 01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:07,080 Speaker 18: So it is actually something that's not been done in 1763 01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:11,120 Speaker 18: a century for a reason because it has not worked 1764 01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:13,519 Speaker 18: in a century on it. And so. 1765 01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry to interrupt your senator, but just with a 1766 01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:19,920 Speaker 3: minute to goo to be clear, you do not support 1767 01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,240 Speaker 3: the idea of just doing away with the filibuster, getting 1768 01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:23,519 Speaker 3: rid of is that corret That's. 1769 01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 18: A totally different issue. The talking philibusters perfectly within our rules, 1770 01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:28,559 Speaker 18: and it is a tool to be able to be used. 1771 01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:30,880 Speaker 18: And if it's actually going to work, and we've got 1772 01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:32,920 Speaker 18: the votes to do it, then let's actually press to 1773 01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:36,559 Speaker 18: do it. But doing away with a filibuster entirely would 1774 01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 18: just mean that we put in a requirement to have 1775 01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,800 Speaker 18: voter I D now and Democrats when they come back in, 1776 01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:44,560 Speaker 18: would just immediately strip out all voter I D in 1777 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,760 Speaker 18: the entire country. I was in the Senate the first 1778 01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,040 Speaker 18: couple of years of the Biden administration when Democrats had 1779 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 18: the House, the Senate, in the White House. I know 1780 01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:55,360 Speaker 18: full well what they would have done to the country 1781 01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:57,920 Speaker 18: if we hadn't had the filibuster in place. So that 1782 01:33:58,040 --> 01:33:59,599 Speaker 18: is a good sect job, and I'm going to fight 1783 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:00,000 Speaker 18: to keep it. 1784 01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,360 Speaker 3: Senator James Langford, come back and see us. We'll watch 1785 01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:05,680 Speaker 3: it closely. We appreciate your time this morning, sir. You 1786 01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:07,639 Speaker 3: bet more in a moment. 1787 01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 1: No, I get it. 1788 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,760 Speaker 3: I already hear you pounding out the emails right now. 1789 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 3: You don't like that Langford, fast Eddie. They don't like 1790 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 3: it that Langford said, let's not blow up the philibuster. 1791 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:22,360 Speaker 3: He just made the case for why they should. Democrats 1792 01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,640 Speaker 3: would certainly abuse it if they had the choice, So 1793 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 3: why shouldn't they? Now, what would you say to that? 1794 01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:30,280 Speaker 3: That's where a lot of people are. They're like, Democrats 1795 01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 3: are going to come in eventually. When they do, they'll 1796 01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:33,880 Speaker 3: blow up the philibuster. So we should just beat him 1797 01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:35,120 Speaker 3: to the punch. What do you say? 1798 01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:38,719 Speaker 4: But I agree and I can get there. You know, Chris, 1799 01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,320 Speaker 4: I've been squishy on this. I know I'm going to 1800 01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:42,360 Speaker 4: get the hate, but I've been a little bit squishy 1801 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:46,120 Speaker 4: on this. I shudder to think at what happens when 1802 01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 4: it's gone, only because if you think about it, I 1803 01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 4: just look at it this way. Harry Reid blew up 1804 01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:53,839 Speaker 4: one of the rules that ultimately allowed us to overturn 1805 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:54,160 Speaker 4: Roe v. 1806 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,400 Speaker 3: Wade, which is great, It's a beautiful thing. 1807 01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:02,040 Speaker 4: What happens if the Democrats have full control, because they 1808 01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,120 Speaker 4: will again at some point.
