Speaker 3: Mccallor, and that guy would like a word with you.

00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 3: Of course, that Kevin Show is going to be great.

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 4: The only thing that could be greater, of course, would

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 4: be that Donald Show, but we don't have that.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: So we have That Kevin.

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,600

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 5: Monday through.

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: Friday on That Kevin Show.

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 5: And now from the Connors in Sullivan Broadcast Studios. A

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 5: man who is not what he wants to be, that

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 5: is way grateful, that is not who he used to be.

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Here all right, welcome in That Kevin Show. Kevin mccaullaugh,

22
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: Glad to have you with us. It is a very

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: interesting time and day that we live in. These days,

24
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you fully grasp how full of

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: irony some things are, but it is not lost on me.

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: And we will spend some time over the next couple

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: of hours delving into a few of these little aspects.

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I am excited because we have a lot to get

29
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: to and we've got some of the best minds on

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: the biggest story of the year so far that we're

31
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: going to have with us today, including a retired rear

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 1: admiral from the Navy and retired four star general from

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: the Army that are both going to weigh in on

34
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: the Maduro seizure and where we are with that and

35
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: what it means, but also not just what it means

36
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: to our direct relationship with Venezuela and the drugs and

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: all the stuff that is happening there, but even beyond that,

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: what it means to relationships in other parts of the world.

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: And we're going to focus on our hemisphere, the Western hemisphere,

40
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: with Admiral Peter Brown, who has made this his focus

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: since retiring from the Armed Services serving at America First

42
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Policy Institute, focusing on the Western Hemisphere and what it

43
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: means because there are some continued troubled spots in our backyard.

44
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: We have some other bad guys that are still creating

45
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: trouble here at home on our side of the ocean,

46
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: and we need to be aware of what they are doing,

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: and they need to be aware. There's a new there

48
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: is a new code of conduct expected from people that

49
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: are wanting to be good members of the international community

50
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: as it pertains to them. So we will get into

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: that and more with Admiral Peter Brown. But also coming

52
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: up later in this first hour, General Jack Keen is

53
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: going to be with us, and he is one of

54
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: the if not the top military mind and I think

55
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: in the country. But he you see him on Fox News,

56
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: and he will join us with some Really I'm hoping

57
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: deeper insight onto what the Venezuela equation means in terms

58
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: of our situations with Iraq, Russia, China, North Korea, because

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: they were all setting up shop in Venezuela and I'm

60
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: not sure that anything has changed necessarily yet. So well,

61
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: we'll get into that and more with General Jack Keen

62
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: as we go along. I'm anticipating friends, I know there

63
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: are a lot of you that live in other parts

64
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: of the country, and I am not trying to make

65
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: the new York mayor the focus of everything on this show.

66
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Since I live in the New York area, I am, yes,

67
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: exponentially impacted by his silliness compared to those of you

68
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: that live in Nebraska or in Minneapolis. But what is

69
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: going on in two places in the country right now,

70
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: specifically in Minneapolis in the Somali community, and the governor

71
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Waltz having to drop out of the race because he

72
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: is so compromised by all of the corruption that he

73
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: has overseen and probably benefited from, that he can't even

74
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: run for governor again. That up against the clown show

75
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: that is unfolding in New York City. We have some

76
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: we have some very real world questions that need to

77
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: be asked, and I feel like, from a certain standpoint,

78
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: need to be understood in light of what is excellent.

79
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: We are going to continue to talk about what an

80
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: elevated life, what an elevated mind, what an elevated person

81
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: looks like, feels like, thinks like, operates like as we

82
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: go along this year. And on the issue of Marxism

83
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: versus free market, Marxism versus Christianity, Marxism versus American ideals,

84
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: the two are not compatible on any level. Marxism is

85
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: not compatible with any of those things. And yet we

86
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: now have avowed Marxists running big chunks of the Somali

87
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Minnesota democratic region. There we've got a democratic Marxist that

88
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: is the mayor of New York City, and in three

89
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: days in office or four days in office, five days now,

90
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: he has already gone to the level of pretty much

91
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: putting his imprint of Marxism on the government of this

92
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: one city. And this Venezuela capture of Maduro is one

93
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: of these things that's kind of telling. In fact, the

94
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: New York City mayor had to admit that he lied today.

95
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: He admitted he has no federal security clearance, and this

96
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: was a day after he claimed he had just been

97
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: briefed about the US capture of the Venezuelan president, Nicholas Maduro.

98
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie was asked directly about security clearance during a

99
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: Monday press briefing, ultimately saying that he had not received

100
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: it yet. The freshly inaugurated mayor had been the butt

101
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: of viral jokes on social media from users suggesting he

102
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: had inflated his access to information about the strike in

103
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: his initial statement, and so a reporter asked, you don't

104
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: have federal security clearance yet. Has anyone from a federal

105
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: agency reached out to you or members of your team

106
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: to begin the vetting to get federal security clearance? That briefing, yes,

107
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: was conducted by my team, Mamdanni responded, And the question

108
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: of federal security clearance is one that's on and on.

109
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Let me just also point out that there is some

110
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: grave speculation in the higher up thinking of our government

111
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: that maybe Zoron Mamdani isn't a good candidate for national

112
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: security clearance. And what I mean by that is very

113
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: simply that there is a possibility that his loyalties to

114
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Marxism and Islam and other forces outweigh his loyalty to

115
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: the United States. And when we're considering who we give

116
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: federal security clearances to, only one thing should be considered,

117
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: and that is where is your loyalty? And if you

118
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: have a higher loyalty to a form of Islam that

119
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: practices to kia and says take over the culture once

120
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: you gain power, you're not a good candidate for security clearance.

121
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: If you are adherent to Marxism, which works against the Constitution,

122
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: which works against the freedom of religion, which works against

123
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. You should not be granted federal security

124
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: clearance simply because you hold an office. It just shouldn't

125
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: work that way. So what we're seeing and what we're

126
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: kind of facing here with Mom Dannie is he lied

127
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: about being briefed. He doesn't have federal security clearance, and

128
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: he probably won't get it and probably shouldn't get it,

129
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: which would be astounding because all of the mayors before

130
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: him since nine to eleven have had national security clearances,

131
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: but they also were victims and saw America as the

132
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: victims in the nine to eleven attacks, something that Zoron

133
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: Mamdani does not agree with. Zoron Mamdani thinks America got

134
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: what was coming to him on nine to eleven, and

135
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: he believes that from the river to the sea we

136
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: should get rid of Jews, and he believes that the

137
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: Intifada should be globalized. When you have that kind of

138
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: person in his position, I think it's a foolish thing

139
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: to give such a man any security clearance, much less

140
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: sensitive ones. Kevin McCullough very glad to have you with us.

141
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: It is that Kevin, show everything you needed that kevinshow

142
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: dot com. When we come back, we'll ask the big question,

143
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: how do we live?

144
00:09:49,280 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 6: Don't go anywhere.

145
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 7: Here.

146
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: He is from New York.

147
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough, all right, welcome back. It is that Kevin

148
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: show that kevinshow dot com. From the podcast, the videos,

149
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 1: the daily column, et cetera. We always want you to

150
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: have access to it. And we have reached that point

151
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: in the show again where we ask this question every day,

152
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: how do we live? How as people that are lovers

153
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: of God and people that are wanting to be on

154
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: mission for him, we are planted in a world that

155
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to appreciate God, seems to have many doubts

156
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: about his word. In fact, I contend that if the

157
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: God of the Bible wasn't the God of the Bible,

158
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: if he was just whoever people wanted to make him

159
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: out to be and stick him in his pocket and

160
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: take him with him whenever they needed and pull him

161
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: out and say, okay, God's involved here, they would have

162
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: much less issue. It's the God that is attached to

163
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: scripture that is the problem. And if you and I

164
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: are people that want to live according to those scriptures

165
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: or try to follow his leading for us, sometimes we're

166
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: looked at with great suspicion. So how do we live

167
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: in the midst of that, staying on mission, staying winsome,

168
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: and staying plugged into the culture to have an impact

169
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: on it. This is what we started asking last February,

170
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: And as we begin twenty twenty six, we are welcoming

171
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: back Ryan batesl this first week of the new year.

172
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: And Ryan, we started yesterday looking at Luke chapter five,

173
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: a very compelling story that I think a lot of

174
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: people are familiar with. But it's the story of the

175
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: lame man who was lowered through the roof because he

176
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: wanted to get to Jesus so desperately, and he had

177
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: four friends that helped him do that. And you're drawing

178
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: some observations, and you're going in depth on this story

179
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: because at emergence in New Jersey you're going to be

180
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: studying this for the next couple of weeks, in addition

181
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: to the sermon that you just taught on. So I

182
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: want people to be aware of that if they would

183
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: like to continue this story. But we left yesterday with

184
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: them having arrived and us understanding that this was something

185
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: that Jesus recognized in them as something that was very good.

186
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: In fact, he forgave their sins, He forgave the lame

187
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: man's sin in front of the Pharisees. Pick up where

188
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: we left off yesterday.

189
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great to be with you, Kevin, always is.

190
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 8: You know.

191
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 7: It's a wild text.

192
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: And so spent a little time talking about do we

193
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: have the friends who would get us to Jesus. I

194
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: think this gets at the question of are we the

195
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 4: type of friends that bring people to Jesus? And really,

196
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: when I think about being that type of friend, there's

197
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: three big things that I got to ask myself if

198
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: I want to be the type of friend, Like, just

199
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: imagine bringing someone to Jesus and Jesus saying to that guy, hey,

200
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: your sins are forgiven. Being part of that, there's no

201
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: better thing to be part of. But I think what

202
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: they did is interesting.

203
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 8: You know.

204
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 4: Ecclesiastes says it's good to have two or three people

205
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 4: so that if one falls, someone's there to pick them up.

206
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 7: And for me, this gets out the issue. Am I

207
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 7: the friend.

208
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 4: That when things fall apart from my friend, I go in,

209
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: I get proactive, And I think the temptation a lot

210
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 4: of times is in those moments to be reactive to

211
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: think things like, well, you know, they'll reach out to

212
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 4: me when they're ready.

213
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 7: They'll reach out to me when they need a call.

214
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 7: I'm available. I don't want to overwhelm them all that stuff.

215
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 7: But here's the thing.

216
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: They can tell you they're okay and they don't need you.

217
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 4: But I'm a fan of letting them say that and

218
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 4: just deciding I'm a friend that goes in and and

219
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: maybe the conversation just begins like that, I'm a friend

220
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: that goes in. And as part of that, if they say, hey,

221
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 4: I don't need you right now, well pray Scott. It's

222
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: not about you. You don't need to you're feeling shirt.

223
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: But you know, at the end of the day, Jesus

224
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: went in for me. He didn't wait, he wasn't reactive,

225
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: he was proactive. And so if I want to be

226
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 4: like Jesus, when I see when I have a friend

227
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: who falls is knocked on the mat, I'm a friend

228
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: who goes in.

229
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 7: I think that's really the first thing that comes out

230
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 7: of us.

231
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: And we're talking about this story on kind of a

232
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: couple of different metaphorical levels. I feel like, at least

233
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: in the language that you're using, because getting knocked on

234
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: our mat, as we discussed yesterday, is something that happens

235
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: to us. And it can happen physically. We can go

236
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: down and be in physical need of help, you know,

237
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: get sickness, disease, et cetera, et cetera. But so often

238
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: I think that life, whether we have struggles with physical

239
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: illness or disabilities or anything like that, all of us

240
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: regularly kind of get the gut, punch the mat, dropping

241
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: the getting our legs kicked out from underneath. This on

242
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: a spiritual level, and sometimes ryan it self inflicted. So

243
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: I kick my own knees out from underneath me. And

244
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, but I end up

245
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: doing it.

246
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 7: That's the worst, right, that's the worst one. You're like, oh,

247
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 7: I put myself on the mat.

248
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: But a friend in that moment, it might, it might

249
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: mention it, but he's not going to do And I

250
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 4: told you so. He's going to love you enough to

251
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: tell you the truth. Yeah, but also but also to

252
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 4: be there, you know.

253
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Well, And that's where leaning in because and this is hard.

254
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: If people have had someone in their life that they

255
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: have struggled to understand or cope with. Maybe maybe you

256
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: have a relative who's walked away from God. There is

257
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: someone in my life that fits that bill. There's there's

258
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: someone who may know the truth and temporarily reject it.

259
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: Does the leaning in happen in the midst of their

260
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: continued sin? And if so, how do you lean in

261
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: with integrity? How do you say, I'm afraid this is

262
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: going to put you on your matt How do you

263
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: how do you how do you know, with discernment and

264
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: wisdom you know what the right thing to do is

265
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: in that situation? Or is that not really relevant to

266
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: the friendship discussion.

267
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 7: No, I think it's a great question.

268
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: I think I think there's a couple angles and scriptures

269
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: that popped in my head when you were saying it.

270
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 4: And this wouldn't be a completely prey through a thought

271
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: out answer, But I think there's clear warning in the

272
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: Bible to warn a divisive person once and after that

273
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 4: have nothing to do with them now a relative. I

274
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: don't think we'd want to do that unless they were

275
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 4: extremely divisive. But I almost think of that situation like

276
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: a church discipline situation, where you know they they're walking

277
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: away from the Lord and I'm going to now treat

278
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 4: them as an unbeliever. Well, how do I treat unbeliever.

279
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 4: I want to share the gospel with them. I want

280
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: to love them. I want to get around them in

281
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: the opportunities I have. I want to be faithful to

282
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: share the message that they really need, because at this

283
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 4: point I don't really it's hard for me to be

284
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 4: confident that they've really surrendered their lives to Christ when

285
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: they they're going to live in rebellion.

286
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 7: And that's heartbreaking, especially in a family.

287
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 8: You know.

288
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 4: But Yeah, I think the advice there is I'm going

289
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: to love this person, treat them as an unbeliever and

290
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 4: and try to witness to them and try to show

291
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 4: them the love of Christ.

292
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Back to the back to the actual illustration that you

293
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: were doing. I can hear someone say, Ryan, it's hard.

294
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: I'm I'm rejection is something that I struggle with. And

295
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: if I if I lean in and they reject me,

296
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: then I feel like I've failed at my spiritual mission.

297
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: Not necessarily in the in the relational world, but I've

298
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: I've failed in what I felt like God wanted me

299
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: to do.

300
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I get that, right, because we all have

301
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 7: our flash.

302
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 4: What what I want to train myself in these moments

303
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: is this moment is not about me. Right, this moment

304
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: is about them, and I'm going to be available to

305
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: them with the access they're willing to give to me.

306
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: But they're going to know I'm the friend who's available.

307
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 4: They might not need it, they might not want it,

308
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: but I feel like Jesus became available to me proactively,

309
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: and so I'm going to be proactive and I'm going

310
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: to have the peace of.

311
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 7: Knowing decide beforehand. Right, two things.

312
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm going to have the proactive decision beforehand, and then

313
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 4: the second thing I'm going to decide beforehand.

314
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 7: This this isn't about me.

315
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: People grieve differently, People go through stuff differently.

316
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 7: Some need to get alone, some need a community. All

317
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 7: that's wonderful and how God.

318
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 4: Made us and so I can have the piece of

319
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: knowing in that moment. They're not rejecting me, it's how

320
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 4: they have to walk through this. I always think people

321
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: who are really struggling, let them be the conductor of

322
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 4: the orchestra. And you know they're going to pick who

323
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: plays the notes, They're going to pick who does some things,

324
00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 4: when to start, one to end.

325
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 7: I just want to be there with the truth of

326
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 7: the gospel.

327
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: What does leaning in look like? Does it mean I

328
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: need to have a spiritual answer for their question. Does

329
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: it mean I need to cook him? You know, three

330
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: weeks worth of food? What? What? What is leaning in?

331
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: And how do how do I know that I'm doing it?

332
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 8: Well?

333
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think that gets into point too a bit.

334
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 7: But I would say, here's the here's the first thing.

335
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 8: I would say.

336
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: Job's friends are great until they talk, you know, and

337
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: what do they do?

338
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 7: They show up and they just.

339
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: Join him as he grieves, and they're doing awesome until

340
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 4: they start saying, well, here's why, and here's the answer,

341
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: and they're completely wrong. And get rid of the expectation

342
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 4: that you're going to give the magic answer that fixes people.

343
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: This isn't television, you know, it's not. It's not the

344
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 4: movie Goodwill Hunting where in one to break through counseling session,

345
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: he's instantly better. That's usually not how counseling or friendship

346
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 4: or life works.

347
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 7: So I think those things are where I start.

348
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: But in some instances, just just helping, you know, with

349
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: with simple things can make a big difference.

350
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and maybe we'll talk about this a little tomorrow,

351
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 4: but I think you know point too is, Hey, I'm

352
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: gonna when I go in, I'm going to be a

353
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: mat carrier. I'm going to carry some of the load,

354
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: right relation says, you know, it's fulfills the law of

355
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 4: Christ when you carry one another's burdens. And so these

356
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: guys don't carry the whole burden. They got a corner

357
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: of this mat.

358
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: That's a great place actually for us to stop today,

359
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: because tomorrow we will get into that in much greater detail.

360

371
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: do another little broadcast out of New York called Travel Tuesday,

372
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of fun with it. But

373
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: Linda and I also just really good friends and we

374
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: like chatting about everything, including mister Maduro and other stuff.

375
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: But Linda, I gotta admit, and I said this on

376
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: this show yesterday, this is a really hard time of

377
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: year for me. While I was literally on the air,

378
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: I got notified from the Lovely Bride that all of

379
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: the Christmas decorations were coming down, and I was like,

380
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: my heart, oh, I'm not ready for that yet.

381
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 8: Yeah.

382
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: And you know part of the reason why was my

383
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: Christmas season was so packed. It was like so busy.

384
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: We did so many things. We went to the White House,

385
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: we went to London, we did all these things in

386
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: this like a little short period of time. But I

387
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: go through a genuine sadness when the holidays are over.

388
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 7: You know.

389
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 10: The post holiday blues are psychological phenomenon, and it's one

390
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 10: of those moments I always feel like we really instead

391
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 10: of being caught up. Okay, let's make it like a

392
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 10: commercial and the hustle and bustle of the holidays and

393
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 10: appreciating the downtime right the no driving to school, because

394
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 10: that for me.

395
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: Those are the big that's a gift in and of itself.

396
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 10: Me hanging out on the couch a little longer with

397
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 10: a cup of coffee, you know, and try not to

398
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 10: take it for granted. When we get that time because

399
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 10: it's like two weeks right, enjoy it because I go

400
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 10: into the holiday blues too, and my husband's like, it's

401
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 10: time to take the Christmas decoration. I'm like, no, today

402
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 10: is the Epiphany. Today's little Christmas. La Befana comes, she

403
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 10: leaves little gifts for the children, and he's like, man,

404
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 10: you just want to push this, don't you. I'm like,

405
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 10: I don't want to take the stuff down and bring

406
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 10: it back to the base.

407
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: And look, I know that I'm the I'm the work mule,

408
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: so it's it's my job to carry it all out

409
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: when you know she's got it down, and I'm okay

410
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: with that. I'm okay with bringing it in. For the

411
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: thing for me is like, I don't know, there's something

412
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: different about the house when the trees up and the

413
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: and the decorations are up, the lights are on in

414
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. You know, it's like there's something special, and

415
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: it's like it's that whole thing about Advent. We're waiting,

416
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: we're waiting, we're waiting, and then boom, it's over.

417
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 10: And it's like, so, you know, you got to learn

418
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 10: to do things in January.

419
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you mitigate it.

420
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 10: I pray for snowstorms.

421
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, we take a

422
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: road trip, we do something with the kids.

423
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 10: I pray for blizzards that keep us hunkered down and

424
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 10: me on the couch, because I would live to sit

425
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 10: on my couch. But that's not who I am.

426
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm not at all. You're the least yeah, police, but.

427
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 10: It's nice to treat yourself sometimes.

428
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: All right, So let me ask this this real simple question.

429
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: The Perilla family, of which you are a proud member of.

430
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: You're a principle of Perillo Tours, the famous tour company

431
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: in the world. You've been to Italy. I don't know

432
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: six thousand times in the course of your few years.

433
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: This on this world. For people that have never been,

434
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: what would you say about this year would be something

435
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: to consider if they were thinking about, Hey, bucket list,

436
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: maybe Rome, maybe a Malfi coast. But what's one thing,

437
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: What's one thing about this this idea that you would

438
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: say you got to latch onto it this year to do? Like,

439
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: what what is one special takeaway for you from Rome

440
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: or from the a Malfi region.

441
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 10: Listen, this is in a sense, so try life is

442
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 10: short don't put it off.

443
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 7: Go.

444
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 10: Rome is one of my favorite cities in the whole

445
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 10: entire universe. I love the Amalfi region because I love it.

446
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 10: I love Sorrento, I love Copery, I love everything about that.

447
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 10: And Italy's gorgeous. It's gorgeous on its own. I think

448
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 10: you could throw every region at me and I would

449
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 10: say to you, yeah, love that about it, love that

450
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 10: about it. But to say so in Amata, which means

451
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 10: I am in love, is Rome, is Amalfi, is Naples.

452
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 9: Love.

453
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 10: Those are my favorites. And I would throw Venice in

454
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 10: there too, Yeah.

455
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: But which is a totally different experience and totally on

456
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: the other end of the country it is. It's one

457
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: of the most ancient cities in Europe, and it's the

458
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: birthplace of like republic government, like representative government. They had

459
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: a Senate before anybody else did.

460
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 10: So let me let me tell you that, because you're

461
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 10: gonna laugh at this. So I am doing very proudly.

462
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 10: I'm doing a tour for one of our finest Okay,

463
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 10: one of our NYPD officers. We've been going back and forth.

464
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 10: He says, I said, so, which tours do you want?

465
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 10: I sent him on the line. He comes back and

466
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 10: he goes, well, we want to do the thinking of

467
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 10: the twelve day Continental or the nine day Sicily. I said,

468
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 10: wait a minute, that's like deciding between you want to

469
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 10: get your hair colored blonde or you want to get

470
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 10: your hair colored black. Like these are two different, completely

471
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 10: different things. I said, why, Sicily, you ready? And they've

472
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 10: never been to Italy because my wife is in love

473
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 10: with the Godfather. I said, no, no, we're not doing that.

474
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: You're not doing movie Italy, You're doing real Italy.

475
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 10: I'm like, no, no, no, we're not doing the Godfather

476
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 10: Perillo trip. You're going to go on the twelve day

477
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 10: Continental or I won't book this for you. And that

478
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 10: was the end of the conversation.

479
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is an opportunity for people to go with us,

480
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: but and all of that info has found at Italy

481
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six dot info Italy twenty twenty six dot

482
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: info only thirty two seats. By the way, on this trip,

483
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: it is not a large trip. This is going to

484
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: be a very intimate thing and with Linda on the trip,

485
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: we're going to get behind the scenes knowledge of all

486
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: the places that were going. But we've also got really

487
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: really good tour guides lined up, including some of the

488
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: people that I experienced stuff with last year when I

489
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: took my family on this identical trip so Italy twenty

490
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: twenty six dot info if you want more info on that,

491
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: and real quickly, we've only got like a minute left.

492
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: Just give a quick plug for your book that's out

493
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: because I don't think on this show we've discussed it.

494
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: But just a second, just a few seconds worth.

495
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 10: Your payment method has been declined.

496
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: Is the name of the book, Yes, it is, And it's.

497
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 10: A story of my life, and it's a very interesting story.

498
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 10: And it's a compilation of memoirs really from the last

499
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 10: my God, since I had babies.

500
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: That's where I really it's and it is an interesting

501
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: and compelling at times funny, at times heart wrenching. But

502
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: it is a great read. Friends, check that out, Linda.

503
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I'll see you on the air tonight in New York.

504
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here.

505
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 10: Thank you.

506
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: keV iv A.

507
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: Kevin McCollough coming back from Times Square. Don't go away.

508
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: Here he is from New York. That Kevin Kevin McCullough, That.

509
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: Kevinshow dot Com, the podcast, the TV show, the columns,

510
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: everything's there. We've been talking as we should have been

511
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: for the last couple of days, all things related to

512
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the Maduro takedown or the weekend, and my next guest,

513
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: I want to ask some very specific questions about because

514
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the most brilliant military minds

515
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: I've ever had the good fortune of having on my show,

516
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: and he has been a longtime contributor to what we

517
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: do here. You see him on Fox News all the time.

518
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: He is one of the most decorated and esteemed military

519
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: minds in the country. General Jack Keane, Welcome back to

520
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough. Good to have you.

521
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 8: Great to be back to here in your audience.

522
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: Here, General, my brother in law, and I've told you

523
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: this before, is forward active duty Navy right now, and

524
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: he was over the weekend speaking with us privately saying

525
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: the amount of coordination that had to be, you know,

526
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: down to the speck on the mark to pull off

527
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: what we pulled off. The way we pulled it off

528
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: is historic in its scope, and I'm just curious if

529
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: you could give us any further insight on just how

530
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: detailed this was.

531
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, see, what drives all of this is important to

532
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 8: the ability to achieve surprise, and then two to put

533
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 8: in a relatively small extraction force that has to fly

534
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 8: deep into Venezuela from the coast and avoid detection and

535
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 8: avoid reaction to any detection. So this made the operation

536
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 8: very complicated, and it also brings a certain amount of

537
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 8: precision to the operation where timing is important if you're

538
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 8: fighting a battle, an all out battle, and when you

539
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 8: started is probably the key thing, but everything after that

540
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 8: is quite relative to what has taken place on the ground.

541
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 8: This had to have a precision, you know, dealing with

542
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 8: about three hours of activity, so that made it extraordinary.

543
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 8: It began number one, with the intelligence, the intelligence and

544
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 8: the detailed of the intelligence and being able to attract

545
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 8: Madure even though he was changing locations and other things.

546
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 8: To know at a specific time, at a specific date

547
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 8: where he would be was exquisite. To be able to

548
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 8: have that penetration, to be able to do that, human intelligence,

549
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 8: signals intelligence, you know, penetrating the Internet, penetrating phones, surveillance

550
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 8: intelligence as well, all coming together to give us that.

551
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 8: Then that put us into a planning phase that I

552
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 8: think had a lot of imagination to it and obviously

553
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 8: a lot of details in terms of how comprehensive, then

554
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 8: a preparation phase to practice and get it right, and

555
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 8: that it particularly involved the insertion force, the helicopters, and

556
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 8: the ground force themselves. I commanded Fort Bragg when I

557
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 8: was a free Star, and that Delta Special Operations Unit

558
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 8: was the very familiar with who they are what they

559
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 8: can do. In the one sixtieth Aviation Unit. When I

560
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 8: commanded on first Airborne Division and Fort Campbell, they were

561
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 8: stationarre so very familiar with their capabilities, which are enormous,

562
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 8: but what you're getting at the complications of it was

563
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 8: pretty significant. So let's begin with that. What they had

564
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 8: to do is suppress command and control. So multiple command

565
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 8: and control sites had to be levied because you didn't

566
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 8: want the senior leaders being able to order reaction forces.

567
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 8: And then communication telecommunications. Then tenlefarms that they would be

568
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 8: using were also taken down. The radar sites that would

569
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 8: pick up a force entering the coastline of Venezuela that

570
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 8: had to be eliminate, and then air defense systems that

571
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 8: could obviously react to that force as well. And then

572
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 8: they had to suppress the capability for reaction from military capability.

573
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 8: This was Navy Base a very large one or two

574
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 8: army bases that had reaction forces at it, and certainly

575
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 8: the force that could react to most would be air power,

576
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 8: so they had to suppress air bases as well. That

577
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 8: led to the complications of it and had to last

578
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 8: for some time because of the entry to the military

579
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 8: base and then the compound on the military base, and

580
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 8: had to penetrate that successfully without detection. And they achieved

581
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 8: that and then acted the couple very quickly, a matter

582
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 8: of minutes from the time they landed the time they

583
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 8: had them in their possession was minutes, which was quite

584
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 8: remarkable itself, and they had to kill a number of

585
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 8: people to be able to gain that access. But this

586
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 8: force is so highly trained, so capable with the weapon

587
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 8: in their hands. I mean, they just routinelyre two bullets

588
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 8: in this people's chest and they do it in millimeter seconds,

589
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 8: and they have an unbelievable degree of accuracy. When they're

590
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 8: on to move or whether the target is moving, It

591
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 8: is completely irrelevant to what kind of capabilities these people have,

592
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 8: and there is no obstacle that can stop them from

593
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 8: gain and entry. These are the same people that it

594
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 8: would have to penetrate a nuclear protected site of an

595
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 8: adversary if they needed to do, and they have the

596
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 8: capabilities to do all of that. So yes, lots of precision,

597
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 8: lots of comprehensive planning, and unbelievable flawless execution despite how

598
00:33:58,800 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 8: complicated it was.

599
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: What I think everybody is walking away with such an

600
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: appreciation of how thoroughly ready and flawlessly they did that.

601
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: Let me shift gears. Just in our last couple of

602
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: minutes here, not regarding the Western hemisphere. I'm going to

603
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: talk with Rear Admiral Brown about that next hour, but

604
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: in the larger context of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea,

605
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 1: Venezuela was kind of becoming something very useful to those

606
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: four states. How does this takedown impact our ability, our

607
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: leverage with our fore most hostile opponents.

608
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 8: Well, absolutely is a setback for them, you know, particularly

609
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 8: for China, Russia and Iran because they clearly had it

610
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 8: invested here. I mean Iranians had HESBLA on the ground.

611
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 8: There Another security capability. The Russia has provided leadership to

612
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 8: how to organize the security forces during the Trump's first administration,

613
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 8: when they thought the opposition would be able to penetrate

614
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 8: and and and get the incumbent government to stand down,

615
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 8: and many of those are still there, and the Cubans

616
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 8: have a significant Most of the security force that Dealt

617
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 8: had to kill were largely all all Cubans. But the

618
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 8: geopolitical setback is even more significant than the people. Clearly, Buddy,

619
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 8: what the United States demonstrated and the interacting.

620
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: We're out of time, but I am so grateful for

621
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: your analysis. Thank you for being with us.

622
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's good talking to me again, Kevin.

623
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: Thank you you too, General, appreciate it.

624
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 11: Kevin McCalla con right back, serving it up with a

625
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 11: new drink. Middle it's that cabin that show.

626
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: So glad to have you with us, Kevin McCollough on

627
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: the twoesday edition that kevinshow dot com for everything you

628
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: want related to the show. And big thank you to

629
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: General Keene for stopping in. He is really one of

630
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: the great guys. And I wanted him to relay the

631
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: detail of the attack like that because that was all

632
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: stuff I heard from military sources. But it's hard to

633
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: get an appreciation for it until you have someone like

634
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: that explaining it in that minutia. That's not something that

635
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: you just put together, like you know, two weeks ago

636
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: and go okay, now we're going to do it. This

637
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: was basically the moment they walked into office in January

638
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: last year until it happened on sat on this last

639
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. And that's the amount of preparation, precision, execution

640
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: that had to be that had to be leveled. And

641
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm still amazed that there are any Americans that are

642
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: in any way disappointed with this. I'm seeing stories all

643
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: over the news sites, by the way, of people that

644
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: were Kamala Harris supporters that are like, I am so

645
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: grateful for what President Trump has done here, and I

646
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: think it has a lot to do if you if

647
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: you happen to know somebody, or you have friends, or

648
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: you're aware of a situation of a family in Venezuela

649
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: or maybe Cuba or Colombia that have been impacted by

650
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: these regimes and kind of the evil that they purport.

651
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, if you've seen

652
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: somebody lose everything in their in their life, and in Venezuela,

653
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the oppression of people that disagreed with

654
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: the government. It was the you know, taking over of

655
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: their businesses. It was the crushing of industry. It was

656
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: literally squandering the natural resources they have and keeping the

657
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: country in decimatingly bad poverty when you had the ability

658
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: to not do so. You had the ability to provide

659
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: for everyone in your country, and instead of doing that,

660
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: you just kept everyone poor. This is this is part

661
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: of the problem with Marxism, and as we've been talking

662
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: about it over the last you know, a couple of days,

663
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: it's something that's going to continue to rear its head

664
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: because here in the United States we're starting to see

665
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: some of these really bad ideas pop up and it's turning,

666
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, the spotlight on some of what they've said

667
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: and some of the things that they, you know, believe.

668
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: But a lot of this, friends, I don't even think

669
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: is genuine because I think that a lot of Marxists

670
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: get into government, get into the reform game. We want

671
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: to bring reform to this place, this office, this state,

672
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: the city, But really what they want to do is

673
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: gain power and gain wealth. And I think that when

674
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: you're when you're looking at how the selflessness of the

675
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: current administration, and you may say, keV, I have an

676
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: objection to that, Okay, what's the objection, Well, do you

677
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: say they're selfless. Okay, the President is not taking a

678
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: salary for any of the time that he's on the

679
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: clock for the country. Zero. He's not getting paid a dime.

680
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: He has lost in his own personal network, net wealth,

681
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: net worth. He's lost billions over the last eight years,

682
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: nine years, ten years, and he's not going to be

683
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: making any of that back anytime soon because he's still

684
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: got a big job to do for the next you know,

685
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: three years. So there's there's you can say a lot

686
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: of things, selfish isn't one of them. And what's astounding

687
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: to me, and I'm going to write a piece about

688
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: this very soon, but what's astounding to me is you

689
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: have him having these successes in the Western Hemisphere, successes

690
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, success is stopping wars kind of

691
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: on the African continent, in Southeast Asia, et cetera, and

692
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: focusing on getting the domestic stuff in order. The big

693
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: beautiful Bill went through, the tax incentives, the cuts, all

694
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: that's going to kick in here now that we flipped

695
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: over the new year. He's like laser focused, but on

696
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: everything that's on his to do list. And I'm just

697
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: not used to politicians keeping their word from either party.

698
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: It's just really surprising to me when we have someone

699
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: that does what they say they'll do, and I'm kind

700
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: of glad that they're doing it anyway. Kevin McCollough. Our

Speaker 1: so don't do. That check out what you, hear see

744
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: if it checks. Out first of, all in, scripture they

745
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: had a term The. Bahreans The bhoreans were the people

746
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: that checked out What paul and the other teachers would,

747
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: say and they would go and they would study the

748
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: scriptures to find out for themselves that that's in fact

749
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: what he. Said that's the kind of people that we should.

750
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: Be that's the kind of people that elevated people. Are

751
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: when you don't just accept things at face, value but you, say,

752
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: okay let me just confirm. It first of, all if

753
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: the person that's presenting whatever they're presenting to you has

754
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: a problem with, that then you know that there's probably

755
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: something a little. Goofy but for your, sake for the

756
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: raising of your, children for the impacting of the culture around,

757
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: you for the participation in your, church for the ability

758
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: to have an effective witness at the ballot, box and

759
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: and how we conduct our. Governance, friends this is all so,

760
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: important and it starts with. Me it starts. Individually it

761
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: starts WHERE i am at and WHAT i need to

762
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: do to prepare myself to then be able to make

763
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: good decisions and then help others lead others to making good.

764
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: Decisions AND i will tell you it's kind of wildly

765
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: out of. FASHION i don't know how you look at

766
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: the situation In minnesota where maybe upwards of eighteen billion

767
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: dollars got shoveled out to people that weren't doing. Anything

768
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: they had set up fake daycare, centers they were ripping

769
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: off the. TAXPAYER i understand completely how Yesterday Governor waltz

770
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: has to kind of, say, well you, know on second,

771
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: thought MAYBE i won't run for. Reelection and that means

772
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: he's not going to run for president or anything else,

773
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: either if he can't get elected in his own state.

774
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: Anymore but that's what the exposing of the hidden and

775
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: bringing it to the light actually. Does It it clarifies

776
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: for everyone to see the difference between what is right

777
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: and what is. Wrong and at the very, least when

778
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about billions and billions of dollars of taxpayer,

779
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: money it's on us to make sure that that transparency.

780
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: HAPPENS i have to kind of go back and revisit

781
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: this regularly BECAUSE i get email from people and sometimes

782
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: they're a little confused on how our country. Works our

783
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: president doesn't rule over. US i need to say that out.

784
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: LOUD i need you to hear, it the president is

785
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: not a ruler in the sense that a monarch or

786
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: a dictator. Is our president is actually our, employee and

787
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: he has a really hard. Job he has the hardest

788
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: job maybe on Planet, earth because he's got this incredibly huge,

789
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: budget he's got a huge, workforce and he has the

790
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: biggest problems in the world on his. Plate twenty four

791
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: hours a, day seven days a. Week there is nothing

792
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: about his job that gets easier as time goes. By

793
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: and this is WHY i am really really impressed and

794
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: somewhat be fuddled at this idea that you can have

795
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: so much to have to deal with as a, president

796
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: and for this current administration to come in and make

797
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: their to do, lists and in each department they've got

798
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: the stuff that they've got to, do and they've got

799
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: to go check off all the things that's on that.

800
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: List and in every, department whether It's, defense whether it's you, know,

801
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: commerce whether It's, state whether It's, treasury whether it's The,

Speaker 1: interior what, transportation in all of these departments have lots of.

803
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 3: Problems there's not.

804
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: One of them that's just like sailing around, going, hey

805
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: we got it all. Together, no they wake up every.

00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: figure out things that need to be. Fixed and they

808
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: have been doing that for about a year, now and

809
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: another week or, so they'll have been in the office

810
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: for about a, year and they have, accomplished by my,

811
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: measure more promises kept as a group of people working

812
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: as kind of one organization than any Organization i've ever

813
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: seen on Planet. Earth and they're not small. Problems they

814
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: have deported a lot of criminals that were here and

815
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: gotten them off our. Street that has reduced the fentanyl

816
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: flow Into. America that's protecting more of our children than ever.

817
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: Before The Big Beautiful bill addresses everything from getting men

818
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: out of women's locker rooms on team sports to making

819
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: sure that education has kind of a new accountability to.

820
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: It anything related to the federal level of education is

821
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of high accountability to, it

822
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 1: meaning they're not just going to be able to shuffle

823
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 1: money around and kind of wonder where it. Went it's

824
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: going to be, very very. Accountable and then you've got

825
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: all of the Economic you've got, inflation you've got jobs,

826
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: numbers you've got all the things on the domestic side

827
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: that in a normal administration presidents are usually really good domestic,

828
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: administrators or they're really good foreign policy. PEOPLE. H. W,

829
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: bush for, example great on foreign, policy not so great

830
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: at kind of understanding the, economy and kind of that

831
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: was The Achilles. Heel no new taxes and then couldn't

832
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: figure out how to pay the, bills so he was

833
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: going to end up raising, taxes And Bill clinton, Said,

834
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: Okay i'm going to use that as the wedge issue against,

835
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: you uses it and then comes in as kind of

836
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: the domestic policy guy and kind of triangulates economic and

837
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: on a domestic policy, front seems to have a really good.

838
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: Plan he wasn't as concerned about foreign. Policy his focus

839
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: was on what was going on, here despite The Monica

840
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: lewinsky thing and everything. Else he he sold The american

841
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: people on his economic abilities and he got re. Elected GEORGE. W,

842
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: bush in kind of similar, fashion kind of forced to

843
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: deal with foreign policy Because november eleventh happens in his first,

844
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: year and he does an adequate job of. That he

845
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: does an adequate job of tax. Reduction you have you

846
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 1: have some tax cuts that come in during The bush

847

Speaker 1: years that are pretty pretty. Extraordinary he also Does Medicaid

848
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: PLAN d or, whatever it, is but he will always

849
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: be perceived as a national security kind of foreign policy.

850
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: Guy this current, group this current, group they are fixing

851

00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: one of the deadliest dictators in our, hemisphere and they've

855
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: got everyone unnoticed that you're not going to push THE

856
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: usa around. Anymore. Friends they're achieving on both sides of

857
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 1: that of that, chasm And i've never seen it done

858
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: that way. Before it's just really. Remarkable All, right some

859
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: interesting conversations coming up the legalities of what happened next

867
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: course all Things maduro is the topic of these last

868
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: couple of. DAYS i thought it was really ironic that

869
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: on the first day when he goes to his first,

870
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: hearing he waives his speedy trial option Until march. SEVENTEENTH i,

871
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,919
Speaker 1: think is this next court. Date but from a legal,

872
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: perspective what are we going to watch play out?

873
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 7: Here?

874
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 13: Yeah so, LOOK i think what we saw with The

875
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 13: maduro his wife making their initial appearance in federal court

876
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 13: In Lower manhattan this, week that was the first step

877
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 13: and was likely to, be as you alluded, to a

878
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 13: very lengthy criminal. Process the charges That maduro and five other,

879
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 13: individuals including his buy for facing are very serious. Charges

880
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 13: their charges involving narco, terrorism drug, trafficking weapons. Charges if

881
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 13: he is convicted on any one of these, charges he

882
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 13: is facing, decades if not life in. Prison and SO

883
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 13: i think you heard a little bit at his initial.

884
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 13: Appearance his attorneys expected the luminous, discovery a lot of

885
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 13: documents coming over from the prosecution. Team there will likely

886
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 13: be a lot of back and. Forth we even Heard

887
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 13: maduro trying to raise issues about the supposed illegality of

888
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 13: his arrest In, venezuela and the judge wasn't having it

889
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 13: at that initial. Appearance he said there will be a

890
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 13: time and place to raise those issues later although we

891
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 13: can talk about. It the administration is on very solid

892
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 13: footing in terms of the actions that it took legally,

893
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 13: speaking in terms of precedent that prior presidents have. Taken but,

894
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 13: look this is going to be a lengthy. Process we

895
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 13: just saw the very beginning of it this. Week BUT

896
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 13: i think we can all agree it was certainly very

897
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 13: surreal to See maduro and his wife taking a motor

898
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 13: key Through, brooklyn getting my helicopter landing In Lower, manhattan

899
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 13: and then ultimately being transported there to the federal courthouse

900
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 13: In New York city to face justice for as many heinous.

901
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: Actions, well and here's so. YESTERDAY i don't think the

902
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: news media could, help but have lots of comparisons to

903
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: The noriega arrest and trial and eventual. Convictions what you

904
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: mentioned just a couple of the. Charges but how does

905
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 1: The maduro case kind of stack up against what we

906
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: saw With. NORIEGA i, Mean noriega actually technically WAS i

907
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: guess the sitting head of his country when we brought

908
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: him In, maduro we're holding the contention that he was

909
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: not the head of state In, venezuela and as such

910
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: he's not entitled to any of the arguments about what

911
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: would be applied to a head.

912
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 13: Of, state, Right, WELL i think one of the reasons

913
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 13: you're hearing so many comparisons to The norriega case is

914
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 13: because one of the things THAT i Suspect maduro and

915
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 13: his attorneys will raise is they'll try to say that

916
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 13: somehow THE us it was acting outside of international, law

917
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 13: that somehow the president didn't have the authority to take

918
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 13: this action to Arrest maduro and his wife for their

919
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 13: crimes for which they had been indicted during The United

920
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 13: States and that's just not. True in, fact if we

921
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 13: go back to the late nineteen eighties there of the nineteen,

922
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 13: nineties when The noriega case was playing, out The office

923
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 13: Of Legal, counsel the constitutional lawyers within The Justice department

924
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 13: actually wrote a memo staying that the president has the

925
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 13: article to authority under The constitution to help effectuate arrest

926
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 13: warrants even outside of The United. States and if you

927
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 13: listen to What secretary Of State Mark arubio said in

928
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 13: the immediate aftermath of The maduro, arrest if you listened

929
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 13: to What secretary Of War Pete hegseth, said they made

930
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 13: clear that fundamentally this was a law enforcement. Action there

931
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 13: are federal agents on the ground with troops when they

932
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 13: Arrested maduro and his. Wife and it just because this

933
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 13: arrest took place in a foreign, country just because this

934
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 13: arrest took more resources THAN i think we would typically

935
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 13: see to effectuated in arrest, warrant that doesn't make it

936
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 13: any less. Legal and essentially that's what the courts held

937
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 13: in The noriega, case that the president has the authority

938
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 13: to execute rest warrants to enforce the, law even if

939
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 13: it involves using very high levels of force in foreign.

940
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 14: Countries.

941
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: YEAH i think one of the things That trump is

942
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: recalibrating the entire stage with is his kind of pin

943
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: prick ability to use military in this case as support

944
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: of law. Enforcement the claims that The democrats and that

945
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: the left and The democratic socialists especially here in THE

946
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: us are making in the media that he wrongfully used

947
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: war powers here is An is there any legal standing

948
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: on which they're finding validity for that?

949
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 13: Argument, NO i don't think. So, again courts have signed

950
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 13: off on these types of actions before prior. Presidents many

951
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 13: prior presidents are taking similar types of.

952
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: ACTIONS i don't robbish for any of. Them complaining When

953
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,720
Speaker 1: obama was sending drones over to kill, people Including american,

954
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: citizens in during his, administration AND i don't think he

955
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: ever Got congress to sign off with any of.

956
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 13: Those, well the, hypocrisy the hypocrisy is even worse than, That,

957
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 13: kevin because if you go back and look at clips

958
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 13: Of chuck schum or Other democratic leaders during the First

959
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 13: trump administration actually Criticizing President trump for not taking more

960
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:07,240
Speaker 13: aggressive action Against Nicholas, maduro for not taking using higher

961
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 13: levels of force to bring him to. Justice and now

962
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 13: that the president has done exactly, that many of those

963
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 13: same individuals are now claiming that it was, illegal.

964
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 7: That this was ill.

965
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 13: Advised and SO i think it's very clear that, unfortunately

966
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 13: Many democratic politicians are using this in an attempt to

967
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 13: score political points instead of looking clear eyed and trying

968
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 13: to understand that what the president did is not only,

969
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 13: illegal is not a constitutional but it's within the best

970
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 13: interest of The United states as.

971
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: What let's talk a little bit about the structure of

972
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: the legality. Here If maduro has found guilty on one

973
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: or multiple charges that he's charged, with and how many

974
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: how many charges is he? Facing did you say?

975
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 13: Five there are five other individuals who have been indicted

976
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 13: along With nicholas.

977
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: He's facing, specifically how do you know how many there?

978
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 13: Are, yeah to go back and, look they're exactly essentially

979
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 13: they fall into three, Buckets.

980
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: Kevin so there'sentually it, is it's a.

981
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 10: Bunch and the THING i.

982
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 13: Would say, too the, indictment it's a twenty five page

983
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 13: indictment and it's what prosecutors defense blawyers would call a speaking,

984
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 13: indictment where essentially a lot of the verbiage in the

985
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 13: indictment is essentially laying out in the, story is helping

986
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 13: to explain the background That Nicholas maduro wasn't, acting as

987
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 13: you said, earlier as the head of state Of venezuela

988
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 13: when he took many of these. Actions he was essentially

989
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 13: acting as the head of an illegal drug trafficking cartel

990
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 13: and taking these actions for his own, enrichment his own,

991
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 13: benefit even though they were harming many other.

992
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: People so they harmed a lot Of. Americans that's why

993
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: we're trying. Him my question, is as a Non, american

994
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: if he finds himself guilty on the on the guilty

995
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: end of one or more of these, charges what is

996
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: the appeals process like for someone that is not A us.

997
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: Citizen here we talk, about you, know going up and

998
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: having it appealed and getting to the next, level and

999
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: you know all that type of. Stuff is there anything

1000
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: about his case that gives him other appeals beyond the

1001
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: court that he. Faces, Now, yeah.

1002
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 13: The criminal justice process is going to play out exactly

1003
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 13: the same for, him whether you're a, citizen whether you're

1004
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 13: a non. Citizen he is going to get the full

1005
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 13: panopoly of protections that any criminal defendant would. Get that's

1006
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 13: one of the things about our country is we make

1007
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 13: sure that everyone is afforded basic, protections basic due process.

1008
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: Under the rule of.

1009
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 13: Law and SO i suspect if he is, convicted you'll

1010
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 13: see the normal appeals process play. Out he may even

1011
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 13: try to take his case all the way to THE

1012
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 13: Us Supreme, court as would be his right to ask

1013
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 13: the court to take up his. Case, now in terms

1014
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 13: of collateral, consequences that's where things may get a little bit.

1015
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 3: Tricky you may see.

1016
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 13: Some unique arguments as it pertains to, him because, again

1017
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 13: THE us is essentially arguing that he wasn't acting as

1018
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 13: The venezuela and a head of state when he took

1019
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 13: many of these actions he was acting as the head

1020
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 13: of this illegal drug trafficking. Cartel but many of those

1021
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 13: arguments are likely years in the off, thing AND i

1022
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 13: suspect again we're going to see a lot of information

1023
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 13: coming out as this criminal case plays.

1024
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: Out were you surprised that he waived a speedy trial

1025
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: right at his first, Hearing, no not at.

1026
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 13: All you, know one of the things you typically do

1027
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 13: at the initial appearance is you try to the judge

1028
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 13: tries to decide whether the defendant will get, bail whether

1029
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 13: he'll be released from. CUSTODY i think it was pretty

1030
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 13: Clear Nicholas maduro was not going to be released from.

1031
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 13: Custody the charges here are again very. Serious the information

1032
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 13: that the defense attorneys are likely going to request from

1033
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 13: the government is going to be, voluminous and SO i

1034
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 13: was not surprised at all to see that he waved his.

1035
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: Right how significant was it That, State WAR, cia all

1036
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: these departments were working so tightly together for so many

1037
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: months in advance before the action was.

1038
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 13: Taken, well, LOOK i, think stepping back from the legal

1039
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 13: aspects of the, case this action by the president by

1040
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 13: our military forces was extremely. Successful it was extremely complex.

1041
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 13: ACTION i think many of my colleagues have spoken about.

1042
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: IT i needed the legal basis to launch this on

1043
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,919
Speaker 1: and you're saying that the foundation on which they acted is, solid.

1044
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 2: Right, yes that's.

1045
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 13: RIGHT i mean just from an operational. Standpoint my colleagues

1046
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 13: have talked about what a great action this was in

1047
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 13: terms of the operational. Success but, yes in terms of the,

1048
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 13: legality these actions such as this have previously been signed off,

1049
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 13: on previously been used by prior. Presidents, AGAIN i think

1050
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 13: in The reea case provides a, good relatively recent example

1051
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 13: of those types of. Actions but, yes, fundamentally the legal

1052
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 13: basis for this action was THE us forces were simplying

1053
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 13: and a rest want for a fugitive from.

1054
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 8: Justice.

1055
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah and by the, Way noriega tried the head of

1056
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: state argument and it didn't work for, him and he

1057
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: was during, State so it's not going to work For, maduro.

01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 12: off ramps along the way as this kind of layer

1124

01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: SECURE i, Mean maduro was kind of easy to. Spot

1136
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: he had a big. Resume we knew of all the

1137
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: things that he was, doing from rigging elections to transporting the,

1138
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: drugs defying the. Embargoes do we have similar dossiers on

1139
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the leaders In colombia And cuba and people that need

1140
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 1: to be addressed In, mexico.

1141
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 12: Well certainly With petrol And. COLUMBIA i, mean he's a

1142
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 12: former guerrilla leader, himself and both he and a former

1143
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 12: president Of Columbia, santos have conceded so much to the

1144
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 12: leftist insurgents In. Colombia for whom the borter To venezuela

1145
01:06:55,320 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 12: is completely. Transparent and their combination of those insurgents with

1146
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 12: the drug trafficking cartels and the government is really The

1147
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 12: it's the poisonous brew that was most visible In, venezuela

1148
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 12: and Also venezuela it also had that combination of external

1149
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 12: support From, China, Russia, iran And, cuba and then also

1150
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 12: where it could with its, Oil venezuela was providing support

1151
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 12: to those other regimes as.

1152
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 14: Well so And venezuela.

1153
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 12: Also was important to The United states because most of

1154
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 12: the threat streams of The Western hemisphere were present In,

1155
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 12: venezuela from the legal migration human trafficking, obviously to the

1156
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 12: drug traffick and communist insurgencies and the corruption and the

1157
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 12: illegal oil. Market so all of those things were features

1158
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 12: that The United states wanted to push back, against including

1159
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 12: that extra hemisphere influence of the bad. Actors and we're

1160
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 12: able to do it by Targeting. Maduro and we've given

1161
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 12: notice not only within the, hemisphere but also To, moscow To,

1176
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: i don't think a lot of people were paying that

1177
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: much attention to prior to the return Of trump to

1178
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: The White. HOUSE i don't even know a lot OF

1179
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: maga people knew the importance of what needed to be

1180
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: done in our.

1181
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 12: Hemisphere, yeah and it's truly sad because the, area the

1182
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:34,560
Speaker 12: region had been literally overlooked by the foreign policy establishment

1183
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 12: of both parties for. Decades essentially the only thing that

1184
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 12: we cared, about if we cared at, all were the

1185
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 12: drug flow and when it, exploded the micro. Flow but

1186
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 12: everything else about the hemisphere was just neglected for far too.

1187
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 12: Long And President Trump secretary Of rubio have put an

1188
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 12: end to that neglect and put it literally as the

1189
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 12: first priority of not only their foreign policy but also

1190
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 12: the national security.

1191
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: STRATEGY i mentioned this earlier in the, show But i'm

1192
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: Just i'm somewhat amazed at how productive one administration can

1193
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: be in so many different proficiencies while in. Office because

1194
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: this is an administration that is Handled Middle. East we

1195
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: took out The iranian. Capacity we are still involved in

1196
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: The Ukraine russia, conflict trying to bring that to an,

1197
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 1: end but we solved nine other conflicts that were going.

1198
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 1: On we've gone and gotten the worst thug and cartel

1199
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: boss in our. Hemisphere here there's notices being served In

1200
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: colombia And cuba and other places to shape up or

1201
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 1: be ready to be shipped. Out and that's all going

1202
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,719
Speaker 1: on simultaneously to the domestic, policy which is addressing. Inflation

1203
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: and normally you have an administration that Says i'm going

1204
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: to focus on domestic Or i'm going to focus on foreign,

1205
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: affairs and they usually don't do both well if they

1206
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:00,120
Speaker 1: are heavy.

1207
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 8: And one or the.

1208
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: Other but this administration seems so. Balanced it's kind of

1209
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Like i'm asking myself the, question what did we get

1210
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,600
Speaker 1: out of other? Administrations what did our money pay? For

1211
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't people that were working as hard as this

1212
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: group is.

1213
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 12: Now and to, me as mentioned this to other people

1214
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 12: in private, meetings the two best features of This trump

1215
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 12: Administration trump forty seven compared.

1216
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 14: To, trump to all, authors and even To trump.

1217
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,560
Speaker 12: Forty five the administration WHICH i worked, with is that

1218
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 12: he has picked for a key leadership. Position we talked

1219
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 12: a lot About secretary Of, RUBIO, Dhs secretary Know, Pete, Hegseth, Tulcy,

1220
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 12: gabber Rfk. All these folks have two key features to,

1221
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 12: them and they are that they know how to speak

1222
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 12: plainly to The american people without the, euphemism the double,

1223
01:11:56,240 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 12: speak and the and the evasion of, responsibility the type

1224
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 12: of language that's previously been used by. Politicians and then

1225
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 12: the second thing is that they are not behold into the,

1226
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:13,799
Speaker 12: bureaucracies that they are moving in a completely different direction

1227
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 12: from the failed administrations of the.

1228
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: Past, well that is, obvious AND i love having really

1229
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: competent little mini means Of Donald trump at the head

1230
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: of each cabinet. DIVISION i just think it's it's an

1231
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 1: incredible example of what government can and we should be

1232
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: as voters holding them accountable to accomplish when they're in.

1233
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: Office you don't you don't get days, off you don't

1234
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: you're on our. Dime you're supposed to be there fixing the.

1235
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: Country and in every way, possible this group is under the,

1236
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: hood you, know changing the spark plugs or make sure

1237
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: the timing belt's. Good like they're they're doing what they

1238
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: need to do to make sure that they're leaving the

1239
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: country in a much better place than what they inherited from.

1240
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: It let me move to a different topic that read,

1241
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: about and that's the importance of minerals that AND i

1242
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Think venezuela has a significant deposit of some of, these

1243
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: but there are many others in some countries where we

1244
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: are at competing interests With. China and this is one

1245
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 1: of the things THAT i believe is going to be one,

1246
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 1: of if not the most important energy related debates and

1247
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 1: issues going. Forward whoever controls the mass supply of energy

1248
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: and the technology for how we use that energy to create, knowledge, facts,

1249
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: technology defense, systems et. Cetera it's all it's all in

1250
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: a Related so this is like really really, important but

1251
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: you're you're issuing kind of a stern warning to the

1252
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 1: to the public and to leaders to, say, hey don't

1253
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: forget that the, minerals particularly the rare earth stuff is

1254
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 1: really really vital And china wants to own our lunch.

1255
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 12: On it, Absolutely and The donro doctrine or The trump

1257
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 12: he's talked about hemispheric actors militarily and, diplomatically but also

1258
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 12: commercially to not allow them to, dominate whether it's support,

1263
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,479

1272
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,919
Speaker 12: lot about the Mo roe doctrine. Lately The monroe doctrine

1273
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 12: really sprang out of arguments That Alexander hamilton made back

1274
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 12: way back Into federalist papers And federalist eleven and, twelve

1275
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 12: where he argued for a robust navy to be the

1276
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,759
Speaker 12: tie breaker essentially and start pushing back On european powers

1277
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 12: in The western, hemisphere and then to have a robust

1278
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 12: coastguard like function that.

1279
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 14: Would help protect tariff. Revenue and the idea, was.

1280
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 12: As hamilton conceived, that As President trump is clearly, advancing

1281
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 12: is that the security of The United states. Exists it's,

1282
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 12: important and it exists to protect The american, people but

1283
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:54,120

1284
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 12: social and so that security stands in service of the

1285

Speaker 1: that refuse to, assimilate that are basically ripping off our

1305
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: government with the help of The Democratic party politicians in that.

1306
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: State AND i know that if you live In alabama

1307
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: Or mississippi Or. Texas today while In, texas you've Got

Speaker 1: Jasmine crockett to, enjoy so kudos to you for. That

1309
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 1: she is like a third grader who just cannot handle

1310
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: not getting her. Way it's like she runs outside and

1311
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 1: stomps her feet and curses as much as she, can

1312
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: just to get it out of her. SYSTEM i. Guess

1313
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: but if that's how she handles her, stress maybe it.

1314
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: HELPS i don't. Know it doesn't seem helpful to, me

1315
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:45,759
Speaker 1: but that's just my. Perspective but there are other cities

1316
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: that are going down This marxist socialist. Route and Now

1317
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,959
Speaker 1: seattle's new mayor is facing a growing amount of scrutiny

1318
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: over her approach to everything from public safety to internal

1319
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: issues related to the police department and some outlined in

1320
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: an email about how most drug possession and public use

1321
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:15,560
Speaker 1: cases are being directed toward diversion rather than, prosecution and

1322
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: this is prompting backlash from critics who say the approach

1323
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: sends the wrong message as open drug use remains visible

1324
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,560
Speaker 1: across the. City, NOW i don't know if you live In,

1325
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: seattle AND i think we've got a really good couple

Speaker 7: There but.

1330
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 1: If your parent raising a small, child do you really

1331
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: want outside of your door to wake up in the

1332
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: morning and to smell the kind of putrid smell of marijuana.

1333
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Usage do you want to walk your kid to school

1334
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: through neighborhoods that have crackheads and coke heads tripped out

1335
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:03,799
Speaker 1: on public sleeping, spaces not public, sleeping just public, spaces

1336
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 1: sidewalks and park benches and stuff like. That do you

1337
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: want do you want heroin, addicts you, know roaming your

1338
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 1: streets because that's what you that's what you. Have and

1339
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: the mayor at least now doesn't want to do anything about.

1340
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: It she in, fact she wants to help you guys

1341
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 1: quote get, help as opposed to taking those dangerous elements

1342
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: and putting them in places that can't touch your child

1343
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: when you go to. School but, see here's the. PROBLEM

1344
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: i don't think the mayor Of seattle has. Kids and

1345
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: if you don't have, kids and the, left the left In,

1346
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: AMERICA i talk about this a. Lot you're gonna hear

1347
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: me say it more in this coming. Year the left

1348
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: In america do not like. Kids they want to destroy. Children,

1349
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 1: actually there's a very negative impact that they want to

1350
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: leave on, children from from the desire to abort them

1351
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,720
Speaker 1: before they're, born to the desire to keep things from

1352
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: their parents when they enter the school, system from the

1353
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: desire to transify them and get them to think that

1354
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: they're born in the wrong, body something That god never

1355
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: could could possibly have. Created he didn't create these kids.

1356
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Imperfectly he knows every ounce of who they. Are and

1357
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 1: the more we try to Eliminate god from the, equation

1358
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: the more harm comes to, children. NonStop and the idea

1359
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 1: that you should just have public drug use all throughout
