1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm Joshammer and this is Josh Hammer Show. Well, welcome back.

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Hope that all of you have had a wonderful weekend

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: on this most serendipitous of cholendrical overlaps. Yes, this overlapping

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: on the religious calendar of the holiday of Easter and

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: Holy Week more generally for Christians and also for the

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Jewish holiday of Passover, common themes of redemption and resurrection

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: and all sorts of wonderful stuff happening there. I hope

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: you had a beautiful, RESTful weekend celebrating with your family

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: and above all, perhaps most importantly, with God himself. There

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: is no shores of stuff happening in the news put

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: mildly there. I was actually off the grid for three

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: days there. We had some shows planned for you, so

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: you were not going to miss some Josh Hammers Show programming,

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: but I was actually off the grid. This is one

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: of those three day back to back to back holidays.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: You had two holidays for Passover, then the Sabbath which

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: comes every week on Saturday there. So suffice to say,

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: I turned my phone back on Saturday nights and had

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot to catch up on there. And that's what

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend a lot of today's show talking about

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: So we're going to get to the Pam Bondy firing

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: a little bit later.

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: There.

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: We've covered DOJ, We've covered Pam Bondi a lot on

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: this show. Frankly, I actually have mixed thoughts on that one.

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: There.

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: I was a somewhat rare commentator in the Ratero center space.

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: We thought that Pam Bondi was doing a very good job.

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: She was getting a lot of criticism there. We'll get

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: to that a little bit later on the show. About

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: for now, we don't want to bury the lead here.

32
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: We want to dive right into what is the massive

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: story of the past thirty six to forty hours, which

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: is one of the most stunning military rescue operations. Frankly,

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: in the history of the United States of America. I

36
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: think that is not an exaggeration. When I turned out

37
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: my phone back on Saurday nights, I had heard over

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the holiday some people whispering that there were these these downs,

39
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: this down plane, this down to fifteen, the first time

40
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: that Ron had actually shot down in an American military

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: pain playing over the course of Operation Epic Fury, there

42
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: were two men a board the first was rescue fairly

43
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: quickly there and the details that have now emerged just

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: from Southaturday evening into Sunday morning. So when Easter passover, miracles,

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: if you will, the details that have emerged from this

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: and that have now come to light there shine light

47
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: on just the amazing, amazing, amazing structure, amazing edifice, and

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: above all, amazing human beings who comprise the United States

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: Armed Forces. And that really is the most important thing

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: to say. Before we get into details, which we will hear,

51
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: it's important to start at the higher level. We often say,

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: and we speak in terms of generalities and platitudes. We

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: say that in America is the greatest nation in the world,

54
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: the greatest nation in the history of the world, the

55
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: greatest force for goodness, the greatest fighting force, the greatest

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: military there and then there are sometimes when you really

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: really see it in action. No man left behind is

58
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: an easy thing to say in the abstract. It is

59
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: an easy thing to try to instruct, perhaps from a

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: classroom lectern at the US Military Academy in West Point

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: or the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, or so forth.

62
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: There's an easy thing to say to your troops to

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: your brigade, et cetera, et cetera, is a whole different

64
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: thing to actually do it in practice. So a frantic,

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: frantic rescue operation put into place to reify, to make

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: real and to bring to light this ethos nomail left behind,

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: to ensure that nomail left behind is not actually just

68
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: an abstraction, but really was real. So this happened again

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: very very late Saturday evening into the wee hours after

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: midnight Saturday, the Sunday morning here on the East coast,

71
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: United States there, So it happened on Easter Sunday actually

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: over in Iran, which is where there's where has actually

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: happened there. And this second airmen from the down F

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: fifteen there was what is known a military jargon as

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: a WSO. So he was a weapons systems officer. There's

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: all sorts of summaries he as to how this went down.

77
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: There's an ext count called War Monitor three to provide

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: it a nice pithy summary. I'm gonna go ahead and

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: share with you some of the details courtesy of War

80
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Monitor three over on x SO. This downed airman. The

81
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: actual plane lands near Tolkunshe which is in southwestern Iran

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: around the city of East Fahan, which where the Iran

83
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: Regen has been hiding their nuclear infrastructure for not just years, frankly,

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: but decades. There and the down airmen, the WSO officer

85
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: immediately activates his emergency GPS per protocol again one thing

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: to be todd in a lecture hall, No thing doest

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: you do it in real life. There immediately activates his

88
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: emergency GPS and then proceeds to hike for twenty four hours.

89
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: He hiked a mountain of roughly seven thousand feet. He

90
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: didn't stop hiking, he just hiked. So he sends off

91
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: this clandestine, more discreet form GPS to try to alert

92
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the folks back at the Pentagon. The folks back at

93
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Langley where the CIA is just let them know as

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: where he is there and then he physically climbed his

95
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: mountain to evade captures. The US Special Forces because of

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: this emergency GPS were able to locate him and then

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: they realize that Iranian convoys were starting to close in

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: and to engage engage with large airpower while US forces

99
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: starts to move into the region. There, A couple of

100
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: interesting things were happening around this time as well, one

101
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: is that we are now getting details about how some

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: of the local Iranians on the ground, on the ground

103
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: were actually trying to prevent the Iranian forces from going

104
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: up into this area in the mountain to try to

105
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: rescue this guy. So there, despite all the bloodshed, the carnage,

106
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: the mowing down of tens and ten thousands of their

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: fellow countrymen back in December January, they we covered it

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: extensive beyond the show. These brave Iranians again, complete numbers

109
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: impossible say, but at least some there in this town,

110
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: near this mountain top tried to block the Iranian military

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: infrastructure from trying to take this American WSO and take

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: him as a hostage. And if you know anything about

113
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: Iran there, they treat them like absolute garbage. And Americas

114
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: are paying a huge price for that.

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: There.

116
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: Recall that was actually just about a week and a half,

117
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: two weeks prior to October seven, twenty twenty three, that

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden paid an extraordinary ransom payment of six billion

119
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: dollars to run for five hostages. One point two billion

120
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: dollars ahead. Those were the monetary stakes. Obviously, there's a

121
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: much bigger stake here it's an American soldier for goodness sake.

122
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: So at this point there, the Iranians are trying to

123
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: block the military while the US is also engaged in an.

124
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: Elaborate deception operation.

125
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: So Langley, the CIA, among others, starts putting out there,

126
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: trying to disseminated through Iranian media channels there and just

127
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: get out the message more generally that they that the

128
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: United States had already recovered the downed WSO and was

129
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: engaged in a naval extraction there in the Persian Gold Front,

130
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: again to safe water, likely in Kuwait, which is the

131
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: closest America friendly Arab country there. So they essentially then

132
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: engage in a bit of wartime disinformation to try to

133
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: throw off the enemy, which apparently worked. Apparently it caught

134
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: the Iranians off guar. And what did is it then

135
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: allowed for several NH sixes to successfully fly to the

136
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: top of this mountain and physically pick up the down

137
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: WSO under small arms fire to reach a makeshift airfield,

138
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: a makeshift airfield from which he was ultimately whisked away

139
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: to safety to Iraq. Now, there were multiple Charlie one

140
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: thirty one thirty planes. These are old school military planes

141
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: that apparently the landing gear field failed, they got stuck

142
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: in the mud or in the sand there and apparently

143
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: they have been obliterated, which a lot of folks are saying,

144
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: a lot of these moral relativists, and I saw some

145
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: French media sources, a lot of leftists in America even

146
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: are saying, Oh my god, why would you blow up

147
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: all his military infrastructure? Why would you do all this

148
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: to save one life? Because no man left behind means

149
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: no man left behind. It's just an extraordinary, extraordinary tale.

150
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: It is Hollywood film esque stuff. There's a lot more

151
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: say on this hooks. Before I do, I want to

152
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: tell you a quick word from our sponsor for today's show,

153
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: which is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. I'd

154
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: like to tell you about it about a man named

155
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: Phineus who has a child survived the Holocaust. He survived

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: because Christians hid him from the Nazis, risking everything to

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: save his life. Today, Phineas is in his eighties. He

158
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: can no longer stand on his own or leave his

159
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: home to receive medical care, and when sirens sound and

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: missiles fall, he doesn't have strength to reach safety. But

161
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: once again Christians are helping save his life through the

162
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a mobile clinic brings

163
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: doctor's medicine right to his home, providing care he wouldn't receive,

164
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: especially in wartime. Christians saved my life during the Holocaust,

165
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: Phineas says, and now again they are helping me. As

166
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches, we honor survivors like Phineas,

167
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: not just with words, but with action. Give forty five

168
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: dollars right now to rush life saving essentials to the

169
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: vulnerable under fire. To rush your gift, call eighty eight

170
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine IFCJ. That's eight eight eight seven nine

Speaker 1: nine IFCJ, or go online at IFCJ dot org. IFCJ

172

Speaker 1: dot org. Our sponsor today is the International Fellowship of

173
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Christians and Jews, a most serendipitus sponsor, I might say

174
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: on this counter overlap between Passover and Easter. So again

175
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: just absolutely stunning details there, and another layer to this

176
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: that I thought about actually immediately, because there were a

177
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: lot of people pushing.

178
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: Back, so international media.

179
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned the French, a lot of international liberal media,

180
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: a lot of subversive fifth column leftist types here on

181
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: the home front there saying essentially, why would you go

182
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: so far out of your way to try to extract

183
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: one person there? There are a lot of ways to

184
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: answer that question. There is, of course, the biblical perspective,

185
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: and this shows is based in premise around nothing other

186
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: than that. Nothing more than that, I should say, there

187
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: is Genesis one te except the notion that God made

188
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: man in his image. There in the human life is

189
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: fundamentally on a different level therefore than all other forms

190
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: of love. To say nothing else about money or helicopters

191
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: or planes there. I mean, that's that's the most important

192
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: thing here for sure. But there's another slightly more practical

193
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: day to day application of this as well. When petex

194
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: Seth was nominated to be the US Secretary of Defense,

195
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: this is prior to change the name from the defense

196
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: partent to the water partn there, he was immediately torn

197
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: through the mud. We were big defenders of him here

198
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: on the show, and I'm proud to a defending petex Seth.

199
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: I think the head set has done actually a fantastic job.

200
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: He's been one of my absolute favorite cabinet picks of

201
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump thus far in this second term, and one

202
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I immediately defended petex Seth from all

203
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: the people who are trying to essentially do a Breck

204
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh operation say that he was a philand or an alcoholic,

205
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: a drunk, God forbid, a rapist.

206
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 4: That what I said is that you need a.

207
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: Young person, a young man who has served in one

208
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: or multiple post nine to eleven wars to be able

209
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: to increase, incentivize, and galvanize young men from seed to

210
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: shining sea of signing up for the United States Military.

211
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: The US military had missed its recruitment targets prior to

212
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Heccess nomination for multiple years in a row during the

213
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Bay administration. Is there any better way to incentivize young

214
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: men and women to join the USR forces than to

215
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: make clear that no man left behind actually really means

216
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: no man left behind folks. I cannot think of a

217
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: better way to try to incentivize young men and women

218
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: in their late teens, early twenties, maybe even a little

219
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: later in that, to go to their local recruiting office

220
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: and say, I want to serve this is a moral military,

221
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: and this is a military that God forbid. If I'm stranded,

222
00:11:52,240 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: they will not leave behind. Around the same time, as

223
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: this stunning rescue operation of the downs wso a genuine

224
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Hollywood esque story. Frankly, I think a lot of liberals

225
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: in Hollywood are probably a bit jealous or envious. They

226
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: did not think of a story with quite as much

227
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: drama as one that just unfolded in real life. Over

228
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: the past few days there So, around the same timeline

229
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: that this was all going down, Donald Trump was going

230
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: back and forth with the Iranians, the actual regime, that

231
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: is to say, there as to Operation Epic Fury, as

232
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: to the actual military campaign itself. So around the end

233
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: of last week, last Thursday Friday, at one point, Donald

234
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Trump issued a forty eight hour ultimatum to make sure

235
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: that Iran opened the Straight of Horne Moves, which is,

236
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: as you know by now, this crucial twenty one mile

237
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: at its Narrows Point waterway through which one fifth of

238
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: the world's oil flows. Iran has been working with select

239
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: countries above all a rock into an extent Pakistan as well,

240
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to working with them to have they

241
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: are flagged vessel essentially go through safely. Otherwise, if you

242
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: are not a flagged commercial or oil vessel for Iraq

243
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: or perhaps Pakistan, you are at serious risk, serious risk

244
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: of being downed by mines or drones or some sort

245
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: of other conventional military means. It is a really, really,

246
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: really dicey situation there, and it definitely continues to spook

247
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: global energy markets, which is why the price of gasoline

248
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: here on the home front has spiked by about a

249
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: dollar giver take since the war against Iran began on

250
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: February twenty eighth with the assassination of Ali combiny of

251
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: the former so called ayah Tola. Now the latest, the

252
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: latest is that donal Tepe is actually speaking on this

253
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: very issue actually this morning at the post Easter ceremony

254
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: at the White House there, so he essentially says that

255
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: the absolute, absolute final deadline for Iran to demonstrate in

256
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: good faith that they are opening the straight form moves

257
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: is going to be Tuesday evening. So tomorrow evening at

258
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: a PM Eastern. Here was President Trump this morning outside

259
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: of the White House.

260
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 4: That's a higher proposal from the morning.

261
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: See every proposal you can imagine.

262
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: Deadline is your final DeLine.

263
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: Nature demands mister President, are you willing to continue the war?

264
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: You have to?

265
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: Yes? What do you think of They've made a proposal

266
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: and it's a significant proposal. It's a significant step. It's

267
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: not good enough, but it's a very significant step. They

268
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: have madeting now and then made a very significant step.

269
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: Will see what happened.

270
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens.

271
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: Look, the number one thing that Trump understands this point

272
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: better than perhaps anyone in the world, is that the

273
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Irani people, well, the own people are all the times

274
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: good people. But the people into the regime in Iran,

275
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: the Molas, the i rg C is on Revolutionary Guard Corps,

276
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: the the Claricy, these are of the most deceitful line

277
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: people on the face of the earth. Broco, among other liberals,

278
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: learned that the hard way when they tried to ink

279
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: the JCP away, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, this

280
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: woefully inadequate nuclear deal with the mass. Donald Trump tore

281
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: that deal to shreds just a few years later, and

282
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: he is now going to war against Iran, and like

283
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: no president has since the regime came into power forty

284
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: seven years ago. So he knows that better than anyone there.

285
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: And ultimately, the commencement of the Kamynie assassination and the entire

286
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: military campaign was predicated as Trump himself has put it

287
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: upon the fact that Steve Wikoff and Jared Kushner, who

288
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: were there trying to dialogue and negotiate with your audience,

289
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: they both said that this is going nowhere, that they're

290
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: just vacillating, that.

291
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 4: They're just buying time.

292
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: They're not actually going to make any concessions when it

293
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: comes to conventional blist missiles, when it comes to the nukes,

294
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to financial support for terror proxies throughout

295
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: the region, has Belahuthi's.

296
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 4: Hamas, etc.

297
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: They're not negotiating, they're not budgeting. So Trump knows this now,

298
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: what could this possibly look like by tomorrow evening?

299
00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: There?

300
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, color me skeptical, but again I think that

301
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump really knows that at this point better than everyone,

302
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: which is probably why he took to True Social on

303
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Sunday to issue a particularly fiery post that uses some

304
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: shall we say, adult language that is not exactly fit

305
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: for a family friendly program like the Josh Hammershell. But

306
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: he was dropping some colorful for letter words and he

307
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: was really not havying, essentially telling the molas you must

308
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: open this bleeping straight asap. He even had a somewhat

309
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: trolly use of praise be to Allah. And look, a

310
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: lot of the politically correct crowd was looking at this

311
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: and shaking their head and saying, oh my god, this

312
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: man is so uncouth. This is this is like a

313
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: drunk from Queens, you know, had one too many beers

314
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: and took us his iPhones start and started started tweeting folks.

315
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: The folks.

316
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: The guys were saying that don't understand the appeal of

317
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. The appeal of Donald Trump is that he

318
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: is Donnie from Queen's. He's entire life is that of

319
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: an outer borough New york Er. If you know anything

320
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: about New York City. This is really important stuff. Donald

321
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Trump was born and raised in Queens. He was not

322
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: born and raised in Manhattan. This is this is his personality.

323
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: The reason that Donald Trump is this gilded Trump Tower,

324
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: gilded toilets, maga populist. The reason that this whole thing

325
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: works is because he's fundamentally at his core, he is

326
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: the dude who if random Joe sixpack, if the guy

327
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: who's a white plumber, Hispanic farm or whatever, if that

328
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: guy got tons of money, struck a rich hundred millions

329
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: dollars billions dollars whatever, they would act like Donald Trump acts.

330
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: That is the appeal. The appeal is not that Donald

331
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Trump is wealthy, out of touch and talks like like

332
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: a finally tuned aristocrat like the Bush family from their

333
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: compound in Kindabunkport, Maine. No, you're totally missing the points

334
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: on a more simple level, simpler note, if you're still

335
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: talking about the way that Donald Trump comports himself on

336
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: social media ten years after he defeated Hillary Clinton in

337
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: that first election there, I mean, you will need.

338
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: To get a life, really.

339
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: So Trump just dropping some colorful for a lot of

340
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: words there and trolling the mall is there. We have

341
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: this deadline now of Tuesday evening as to whether or

342
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: not some sort of deal will actually be taking place. Meanwhile,

343
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: a lot happening here on the home front. So I

344
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: mentioned that there were a lot of leftists here in

345
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: the home front. Two we're talking about how, oh my god,

346
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: why is Marek going so far to try to recover

347
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: this downs Wso from the play there, shouldn't they be

348
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: focused on trying to save the C one thirty planes

349
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: were not there. There was also a very bizarre information

350
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: operation that was happening on the American home front over

351
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: the weekend, which is why you had a lot of

352
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: folks in seemingly coronated fashion, a lot of high profile

353
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: left wing blue check counts that were dissemining the lie

354
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: andes was a lie that Donald Trump was checked in

355
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: to Walter Reed Medical Center and that he was actually

356
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: not there with hands on the steering wheel during the

357
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: rescue operation. In reality, Donald Trump was there the entire time.

358
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: He was there in a situation room. He was tracking

359
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: both the IRUN operation, getting at least hour by hour

360
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: updates and not even more consistent, while Stan's also tracking

361
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: the launch of Artemis two, this new lunar space mission

362
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: that we'll touch on a little bit later in today's show,

363
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: but around the same time, and I've seen these screenshots

364
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: there all these leftist said the exact same thing, breaking

365
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: reports claiming Trump has been admitted to Walterey Medical Center.

366
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: Is Donald Trump, but Walt Reid right now? And on

367
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: and on it goes who coordinated this. This is not

368
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: the first time that we've seen all these big leftist

369
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: blue checks gang up all at once. This actually happened

370
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: just a few months ago, so there was a horrific incident.

371
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: It could have been worse supposed, but was a no

372
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: good incident at a synagogue in Queen's and Donald Trump's homeborough, Queens,

373
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: New York. There and there was some event I don't

374
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: remember the details there and there were these horrific pro Hamas,

375
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: like not just anti as well pro Hamas protests essentially

376
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: just just praising Hamas. And the next day all these

377
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: democrats from Tis James, I think even Zora Maam Donnie

378
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: got in on the act, to aoc Kathy Hochel, some

379
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: more national figures. They all had clearly coordinated messaging that

380
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: Hamas is evil. I mean, first of all, as if

381
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: you guys have said anything all those lines there, I mean, frankly,

382
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: you've just you've praised, You've just praised the so called

383
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: palisay and cause which has as his culmination, frankly, the

384
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: Hamas pagram and an attempt at genocide. But let's hold

385
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: it aside from now. The point is, for now, who

386
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: was Courtney's messaging? Really, where's coming from? It is coming

387
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: from from from roy Neville Singham, this American born guy

388
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: who now lives in Shanghai and funds a lot of

389
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: pro Chinese Communist Party anti Americans versa would say this

390
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: guy was a major funder of Code Pink, the People's

391
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: Four which does these hold the inorganic protests in support

392
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: of commenting and support of nicols? Girl is singing them

393
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: behind this court of messaging? Is Soros, the Ties Foundation,

394
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: Ford Foundation?

395
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I want to know.

396
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not the first instance where this

397
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: has happened there. But more generally speaking, whether it's folks

398
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: on the idiot so called right, the Tucker wing, whether

399
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: it's the corporate mainstream media, there are so many folks

400
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: here who have out of themselves as rooting against America.

401
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: That's the most astounding thing to me. Folks, we just

402
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: have one of the most incredible rescue operations in the

403
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: history of this country. Why are there so many people

404
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: out there openly rooting against America? America is a great,

405
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: great nation. Yes, Donald Trump is making it great again,

406
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: for sure, but there is so much to be proud

407
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: of here, and the folks who don't realize that, frankly,

408
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: you should write them off and never hear from them again.

409
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Is Operation Epic Fury popular, this now month plus long

410
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: campaign against the running regime.

411
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 4: It's a question.

412
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: I think that many people increasingly are asking. Frankly, even

413
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: within right center circles, there really no one wants an

414
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: extended war. Look, polling in general is infamously all over

415
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: the place, polling on foreign policy perhaps even more so

416
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: because when it comes to things like Iran, Americans will

417
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: simultaneously say they want the RUnni regime taken out, or

418
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: they want the running nuclear program taken out or some

419
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: variation they were off, while on the other hand they

420
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: will say that they wholly oppose boots on the ground

421
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: a long campaign. Well, you can't really have it both ways, right,

422
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is polling a lot of issues, especially

423
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: on domestic issues like abortion, where the polling is famously schizophrenic,

424
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: but on foreign policy you definitely see this a lot

425
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: as well.

426
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: To be clear, we absolutely do not want boots.

427
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: On the ground here. That is not our stance. We

428
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: have never once called for that, and we are certainly

429
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: not advocating for that. But we definitely do believe that

430
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: now that this war has started, that the war must

431
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: be finished on its own terms, and we have long

432
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: defined those terms along along the lines roughly the way

433
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: that Don Trump defined them in his national address last

434
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Wednesday evening, which is that it is the neutralization of

435
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: the as long Republic of Iran as a threat to

436
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: the United States and or interest. That is the hard headed,

437
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: clear realist MAGA america verse definition of success of epic

438
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: fury on its own terms. And it's with that in mind,

439
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: with all of this increasing souring of the warlime that

440
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: I noted this poll this morning that came across my desk.

441
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: It's a very fascinating poll courtesy of a well known

442
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: polster known as Tip Tipp, and they essentially ask do

443
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: you support or oppose the US military action against ram

444
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: So most these recent polls thumbs up, thumped down a

445
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: binary choice have been net thumbed down. Most of the

446
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: recent polls, overall, Republicans strongly support most of them, still show,

447
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: though that most Americans oppose. This poll this morning actually

448
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: had support forty six percent oppose forty five percent. Republicans

449
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: according to Tip this new polster, are sixty two points

450
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: nets in favor of the war. That's a lot. Democrats

451
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: fifty two points opposed, Independents sixteen points underwater, but overall

452
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: on net that comes out to one point ahead. The

453
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: racial and ethnic splits were arguably even fascinating again, it's

454
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: just one pulse to crosstab I take for what you will.

455
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, sample size is pretty large for what it's worth,

456
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: roughly fifteen hundred people there White Americans plus five on

457
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: Epic Fury, Black Americans minus seventeen, Hispanic Americans plus eight.

458
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 4: Really fascinating.

459
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans are apparently, according to this pulse, even more

460
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: sport of the war than white Americans. Make of that

461
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: what you will, but just a fascinating thing, if nothing else,

462
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: to kind of file in the back of your head.

463
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: We'll get some more data on that. One final word

464
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to Epic Fury. Here a lot of talk,

465
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: certainly as to what the endgame is, and the endgame

466
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: is what we just define that as, which is the

467
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: neutralization of Ron as a threat. The more abstract outcome

468
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: that's always lurking in the background is this notion as

469
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: to whether or not there actually will be full scale

470
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: regime change. Now, we had on the show last week

471
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: Rebecca Heinriz who essentially corroborated what her colleague Mike Drant

472
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: told us in the first days of the war, which

473
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: is that you should not expect full scale regime change.

474
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: That's been my stance. Frankly since day one as well.

475
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: One of the only ways that that could ever happen,

476
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: as I was discussed saying with a friend just a

477
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, is that you would have to

478
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: get small arms into the hands of people. This has

479
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: been a problem since day one. These poor Runians just

480
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: watch tens and tens and tens of thousands of the

481
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: countrymen just get blown to smithere's by this most evil

482
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: and despotic of Islamist regimes back in December of the January.

483
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: How can you possibly get them to make like the

484
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: Soviets did during World War Two and literally send out

485
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: four men with one gun and say, oh yeah, go

486
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: fight the Nazis with their bare hands.

487
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 4: I mean, how can you expect the Runians to go

488
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 4: do that? It can't They need weapons.

489
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: So this has been a problem since day one, and

490
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: what I've said since day one is that it's my

491
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: hope that maybe CIA, Massade or some other agencies are

492
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: able to better vet and get into select people's hands weapons.

493
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: If that's even a thing, I'm not even sure it is. Frankly,

494
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: it might be too legistally difficult, but anyone, if anyone,

495
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 1: can do it frankly, it would be the CIA and

496
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: door messade. So that's why I noted with interest Donald

497
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: Trump speaking again. I believe there's actually also this this

498
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: morning during the same post easter oppressor, while he was

499
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: talking earlier about this a PM deadline for tomorrow night,

500
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: there he talked about how we actually have sent some

501
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: guns to some people and these guns ended up actually

502
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: into the wrong hands. There's kind of loss in the

503
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: transferm there. I think it's actually a very very important

504
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: detail there. So let's go ahead and play this club

505
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: courtesy of I twenty four and C spent.

506
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 3: You know, we said some guns, but the group that

507
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: was supposed to give which I said, what happened to

508
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: my people? I said it. I called it exactly.

509
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: We said, gunss a lot of guns.

510
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 3: They were supposed to go to the people say they

511
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 3: could fight back against these ducks. You know what happened.

512
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: The people that they sent them to kept them because

513
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: they said, what a beautiful gun. I think I'll keep it.

514
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: So I'm very upset with a certain group of people,

515
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: and they're gonna pay a big price for that.

516
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's I mean talking about burying the lead.

517
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: That that's a pretty big deal. Now, there was a

518
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: lot of back and forth earlier in this war as

519
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: to the extent which United States was trying to earn

520
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: arm Kurdish factions in western Iran near the border with

521
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: the Rocks. That seems to be who Trump's calling out.

522
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: He seems to be saying that, yes, the CIA did.

523
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: Because this is this is debated, he seems to me

524
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: corroborating that yes, the CIA did arm Kurdish factions, and

525
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: I think he's saying that the Kurds essentially swallowed up

526
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: the guns for their own purposes, which there's a lot

527
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: to impact there. There's also different Kurdish groups. Some of

528
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: these Curtis groups are very pro America, pro Western a

529
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: lot of folks around Herbul in Northern Rock to a

530
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: lot of debateus whether they should have thrown state Curtis dam.

531
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: There are other Kurdish factions that are more radical, that

532
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: are are more Marxists or more Islamus. Turkey, for instance,

533
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: has infamously fraught relations with a lot of Kurds. And

534
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: some of these Kurds are better, some are are worse.

535
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: So I saw this clip and again I'm kind of

536
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: reaming between the lines here. I mean, I'm thinking myself,

537
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: did someone arm the wrong Curds. Did we attempt to

538
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: get weapons into the hands of the pro America Kurds,

539
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: the anti islam Republic of Irong Kurds and instead end

540
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: up arming pro Islamist Kurtish factions like pro terrorist Kurds.

541
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't really know. Again, I'm just ream between the

542
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: lines here, but not great. Definitely not great. I'm not

543
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: trying to kind of solely the mood here, but we're

544
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: just trying to give you a full respective as to

545
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: what's going on. There's certainly the biggest story is this

546
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: rescue off, and that is just an astounding story. Democrats

547
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 1: taking to the Sunday talk show circuit to event, there

548
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: are various forms of frustration. Meanwhile, with Operation Epic Theory

549
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: there didn't always go well for the Democrats. I would say, rokahana, rokahana.

550
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: The Epstein Files obsessed Presidential want to be out of California.

551
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: He went on NBC's Meet the Press to talk about

552
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: war crimes.

553
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: Go ahead and watch this.

554
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: Would you be okay?

555
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: Though?

556
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 4: With leaving Iran without the Strait of Remus being reopened,

557
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 4: President Trump has set that deadline for Monday, saying they're

558
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: going to be significant consequences if it's not reopened.

559
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what won't reopen the strait of

560
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: hormuas threatening war crimes, of bombing, indiscriminately, power plans, cursing

561
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: at Iran. Well, we need a statesmanship like President Obama had.

562
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: What we need to do is to stop the bombing,

563
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: have a cease far and then to work with Oman,

564
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: to work with China, to work with the Gulf allies

565
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: and European allies to have a solution to allow the

566
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 3: hormones to be open. But it's not going to happen

567
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: by massive escalation.

568
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 4: So I am sick.

569
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm a officially sick of people who do not know

570
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: what the heck they're talking about, talking about war crimes.

571
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: We had Judge Roylman on the show this past Friday,

572
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: I was off for passa or we had Judge Almondon

573
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: to talk about this same charge in the context of

574
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: Israel's war against some Austin Gaza after October seventh, by

575
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: the same token, Why the heck is Rokahana charging Donald Trump.

576
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 4: With war crimes? With war crimes?

577
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Dude, we all know that you love Barack Obamas, Duku Joe,

578
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: we all know that you would love to do anything

579
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: in the world to get a deal with the Malas there.

580
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: Just because you don't agree doesn't make it a war crime.

581
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes words actually mean something. Should probably a little more

582
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: careful frankly with her going about and saying it. Jake

583
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: Ausenkloss of Massachusetts, a white dude who's really trying to

584
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: make a name for himself in this Wolke intersectional party,

585
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: had similar criticism over on Fox and Sunday.

586
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and play that.

587
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: Do you doubt that we will get the straight reopen

588
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: or that we have the ability to? Yes?

589
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 4: I do.

590
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: And as always with this prize, it's you know, it's

591
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: all hat and no cattle, right. I mean, he's blustering,

592
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: he's threatening, and yet he always backs down. And the

593
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: reason is because he misunderstands the nature of grand strategy.

594
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: The nature of grand strategy is about choke point control.

595
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: It is not about the raw exercise of power. So

596
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: last year this president tried to pick a trade war

597
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: with China. He lost it, and he lost it because

598
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: China choked off critical minerals. This year, he's picking a war,

599
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: a kinetic war, with Iran. He's losing it because Iran

600
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: has choked off oil transit through the street.

601
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: With all due respect Congressman Aushin Klaus, I think Donald

602
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: Trump knows a thing or two more than you do

603
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to how to defeat the ir audience.

604
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: I will trust the guy who took out costumes Sulamani,

605
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: the guy who took out oh yeah, I'll the comment

606
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: eate the guy who's taken out the entire upper echelon

607
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: of the Irani regime, military and radical clericy hierarchy. I

608
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: will trust that guy over Oh yeah, I don't know

609
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: a dim witted backbencher of Congressman mass Jutts.

610
00:31:58,960 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 4: I don't know me.

611
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: It's just me think the American people would probab agree

612
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: with me on that one as well. So the other

613
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: huge news, from what I can tell, that I miss

614
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: while I was off from the beginning to pass over

615
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: was that Pambondy was fired by Donal Trump. This happened

616
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Initially, it was just a lot of rumors

617
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: in New York Times another sources reporting it there. Ultimately, Pambondy

618
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: was let go and Todd Blanche is now in as

619
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: the acting Attorney General of the United States. I think

620
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: very highly of Todd Blanche. Actionally, I think Todd Blanche

621
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: is a very capable attorney there who has been a

622
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: super hardcore loyalist to Donald Trump. There recall that the

623
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: number one thing that Donald Trump most wanted in Attorney

624
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: General and still most wants is loyalty. And that is

625
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: a very very reasonable thing in general to want out

626
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: of what is arguably the most important cab position in

627
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: your entire cabinet. It is a doubly reasonable thing to

628
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: want if you are Donald Trump, who just saw your

629
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: entire DOJ try to subvert your agenda in no small park,

630
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: at least until Bill bird was Thettorney in General, Bill

631
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: Barhould said during the first Trump term, So he wants loyalty,

632
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: and Todd Blanche is absolutely loyalist. I have no think

633
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: very highly of Tod Blanche. But Pam Bondy is out now.

634
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: Trump didn't necessarily give a whole lot of color. Essentially,

635
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: both he and Bondi said in their respective statements that

636
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: she is transitioning out to a job in the private sector,

637
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: making it seem like that this is mutually agreed upon. There,

638
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: Trump putting in a statement. Pam Bondi is a great

639
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: American patriot and a loyal friends who faithfully served as

640
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: a Minitarian general over the past year. We love Pam

641
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: and she'll be transitioning into a much need and important

642
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: new job in the private sector, to be announced at

643
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: a date in the near future. A lot of folks

644
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: in the Riot have been very critical of Pam Bondy.

645
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: She's found herself in the crosshairs of many conservative commentators.

646
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: I have not necessarily been one of them. The one

647
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: area where I have freely criticized Pam Bondy is in

648
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: your handling of the Epstein files. If you go back

649
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: and look to last February, shortly after the deministruation came

650
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: back in the power there she had this one appearance

651
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: on Fox News or she's hockeying with John Roberts, not

652
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: the Chief Justice, but the other John Roberts is the

653
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: Fox News anchor, and she says that the Epstein files

654
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: are literally on her desk. And then you fast forward

655
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: to July and the DOJ and the FBI, Pambondi and

656
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: Cash Ptel essentially release this joint statement where they say

657
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: that no, we actually don't have a thing called the

658
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: Epstein files. There there's just a lot of redactive material.

659
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: And then this confusion then leads to Congress passing this

660
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: full transparency statute, and then you end up getting all

661
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: these millions and millions, this massive troph of documents that

662
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: has come out just over the past few months. That's

663
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: how we see a lot of people's names come up

664
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,959
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Was Congress actually passed

665
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: a statue to force the deministration's hand. Now we've said

666
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: that Bondi did not handle this portfolio well. Epstein was

667
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: a really, really really low point, certainly, and perhaps it

668
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: is ultimately the reason why she is out as Attorney

669
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: General in all other areas. Frankly, though, I thought that

670
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: Pambondi was doing actually a very good job when it

671
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: comes to the horror functions of enforcing the president's legal agenda,

672
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: enforcing this nation's laws, homicide, violent crumis country is at

673
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: a one hundred and twenty five plus year low. The

674
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: National Guard operation in Washington c has been a staggering success.

675
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: The DOJ has been deeply, deeply helpful when it comes

676
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: to helping to enforce Donald Trump' immigration agenda.

677
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 4: There's been a lot to like.

678
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: John Sowerly, Solicitor General of the United States, was fantastic,

679
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: frankly at oral argument last Wednesday and the birthdays in

680
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: case Trump versus Barbara Trump's not gonna win that case. Unfortunately,

681
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: the votes simply are not there. We'll talk about that

682
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: a little bit later this week with my colleague Mike Davis,

683
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: who I think has a lot of thoughts on that

684
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: particular one. But Sour nonetheless has been an outstanding oral

685
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: advocate for the Trump mistration in the U Supreme Court.

686
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: So there's just a lot to like in general about

687
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: this do jet. But none of the last Pambondi is

688
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: out and Todd Blanche is m to Bondi is now

689
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: the second of the original Trump cabinet picks.

690
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 4: Who is who is out?

691
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: She falls closely on the heel of Christine Noham, who

692
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: I have much less pleasurable things to say about. Christy

693
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: nome I have never been a fan of christ nome

694
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: I says since day one that that was Donald Trump's

695
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: single worst cabinet pick. I am not the least bit

696
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: surprised that she has been the first to go. There

697
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: was also this, shall we say new York Post page

698
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: six style piece in the Daily Mail last week about

699
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: the somewhat unusual private intimate affairs of Christy Nome and

700
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: her husband. We will not elaborate again. This is a

701
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: family show there. Christy Dome has a lot of skeletons

702
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: in her closet and a frank law of skeletons that

703
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: are not in her clauses's, such as her open candid

704
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: emission that she shot and killed a dog. There's a

705
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: lot to say more about christ Dome that it's really

706
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: another hero there there. But I'm pretty happy, frankly that

707
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: Christy Nome is no longer in this position. I never

708
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: liked her. She was always a garbage pick, and I

709
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: wish the best. I don't watch anyone other than horrible people,

710
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: anything other than the best. But DHS is better with

711
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: Mark win Mull in charge with on christ no the

712
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: DOJ again. I think very highly of Todd Lands and

713
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: nothing that he's a loyalist. He's a very capable attorney there.

714
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: I personally actually really have enjoyed Todd I've got when

715
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: I've talked to him and got to know him a

716
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: little bit in our limited interactions there. So I think

717
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: very highly of him there. But I will push back

718
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: a little bit when it comes to the haters and

719
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: a lot of folks in the right who were kind of

720
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: spiking the football and saying that Pam Bondi had this coming.

721
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: That's not my stance there, and I wish Pam Bondi. Frankly,

722
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: nothing went the best, certainly as well. Now, there were

723
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: a lot of rumors after the Bondi firing as to

724
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: whether or not there would be other people who might

725
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: be fired by the Trump administration as well. There were

726
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 1: a number of people whose names were were brought up there. Now,

727
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: the interesting thing there is that the administration is actually,

728
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: through numerous channels, has actually tried to swat down these rumors.

729
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: So Taylor Rodgers, who was a White House spokesperson, in

730
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: responding to rumors that either Labor Secretary Lorie Chavez Dreamer

731
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: or Commerce Secretary Howard Lutten it could be next you

732
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: had the White House spokesperson Taylor Rodgers say, quote Secretaries Chavez,

733
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: Dreamer and Love are both doing a great job setting

734
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: up for American workers and they continue to have President

735
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,479
Speaker 1: Trump's full support. Similarly, Stephen Chung, who is the White

736
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: House comms director send a statement on x on social

737
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: media there that the president has total confidence and everyone

738
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: left to his heart. Jason Miller, very close administration, said

739
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: a lot of similar stuff certainly there as well. We'll

740
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: see for what it's worth. I actually would not be

741
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: surprised if there are going to be additional additional firings

742
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: that are going to happen there, and we'll see. I

743
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: say that because this is all in the context of

744
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: Donald Trump really trying to settle MAGA, feeling business, really

745
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: trying to clean out the augy and stables from his administration.

746
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: So I would not be the least bit surprised, frankly,

747
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: to see more firings take place beyond just Chris Noam

748
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: Am and Pambombi. I would be a little hard. I'd

749
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: say exactly what they might look like there. All I

750
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: will say is that it's not going to be Marco

751
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: Rubio and it's not going to be petex Seth, because

752
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: they have been just exceptional, absolutely exceptional and for what

753
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: my money is worth. Problem the two most exceptional of

754
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: all of Donald Trump's cabinet picks here in this second term.

755
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: Another very fascinating thing that happened to let's say was

756
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: that Artemis two reach the Moon, So you might not

757
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: be a huge space person. I'm not sure if I

758
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: am a huge space person. So well, I was kind

759
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: of at an earlier stage in my life. There. So

760
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: the United States a case, you've been living under a rock.

761
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: On April first, so last week launched launched the first

762
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: manned lunar mission via NASA in a half century, in

763
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: a very very very long time since the Apollo missions

764
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: ended in more than fifty years ago. And your first

765
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: thought might be, how is that possible? I feel like

766
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: they do this all the time there, and it's possible.

767
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that that is what happened. I had

768
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: the same thought, rank because like, really, I feel it

769
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: did this more often, but no, in more than fifty

770
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: year the first manned lunar mission. So Armis two is

771
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: going to see parts of the Moon that apparently we've

772
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: actually never got on on photography before. And one of

773
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: the most amazing parts of this mission there has been

774
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 1: the lead astronaut. I remember the name of Victor Glover,

775
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: who is a black man. So the woke intersectional crowd

776
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: really should love the fact that he is a diverse

777
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: man of color. But they don't like him because he's

778
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: explicitly rejected being categorized at black many things. As well

779
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: as just an america An astronaut is also a man

780
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: of deep faith, talks about his Christian faith, talks about

781
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: the beauty of exploring the cosmos on behalf of God's

782
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: creation of the heavens and the earth progenesis. It's a

783
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: very old school understanding of science. He was the understanding

784
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: of science. Frankly, that characterized Isaac Newton, all of the

785
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: great Scientific Revolution thinkers, the man who understood themselves as

786
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: dedicated to trying to explore God's creation. That's how armists too,

787
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: understands their mission. It's a really, really old school, really

788
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: biblically inspired interpretation as to what they are doing there

789
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: in space. And as a man of faith myself, I

790
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: just absolutely love that. I think it's beautiful, frankly beautiful.

791
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: A lot of folks though, saying, why are we doing this?

792
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: What are we there? What's the goal of this trip?

793
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: We've been to the moon before, Neil Armstrong landing on

794
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: the moon, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Folks, this

795
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: is maga at its finest. This is the quintessence, even

796
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: more so the immigration or trade or whatever. This is

797
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: the quintessence of Trumpism and maga. A great nation should

798
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: do big and great things. We should land on the moon.

799
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: We should patrol our own hemisphere. That's Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela.

800
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: That's possibly Cuba being next to that.

801
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: There.

802
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: We should push back its enemies like China.

803
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: We should make stuff, we should reashore our supply chains,

804
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: and we should do big stuff like land on the moon.

805
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 4: I love it.

806
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: It is symbolically important a time like this to unite

807
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: us around common symbols, upon common imagery and reality of greatness.

808
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: That is our mists too, which these astronauts the best there.

809
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: Space travel in tarentally inherently dangerous.

810
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: There.

811
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: God blessed them, and as Victor Glover himself says, they

812
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: are indeed doing God's work. Folks have a great rest

813
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: of eve Naing Joshammer shning Off will be right back tomorrow.
