All right, so, all the 60 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: headlines this morning are the President Trump says this is 61 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: over soon, over soon, and it's all based on this comment. 62 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: Let's hit it number ninety nine if you would please, 63 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: gee love, this is the president. All the cables this 64 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: morning are wall to wall with this. It's over, It's 65 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: over soon. We can tie a yellow ribbon around the 66 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: old oak tree. It's all going to end soon, just 67 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: like gas prices. We're going to go through the roof soon. 68 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: I don't know when these people are going to learn, 69 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: but okay, here here's what he said. 70 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: Are you thinking this week? 71 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 6: It will be over some days, I think, so okay, 72 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 6: and respect very soon. 73 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 7: Look, everything they have is gone, including their leadership. In fact, 74 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 7: there are two levels of leadership, and even actually, as 75 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 7: it turns out, more than that, but two levels of 76 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 7: leadership are gone. Most people have never even heard about 77 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 7: the leaders that they're talking about. So uh, it's obviously 78 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 7: been very very powerful, very effective. 79 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: And so they took that and they're running with it 80 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: this morning, fast eddie, soon soon, any day now, any 81 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: moment now, he's going to wave the American flag and 82 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: say we're done. Everybody's coming home. I'm not really sure 83 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: I'm there yet. 84 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 8: You No, definitely not. 85 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 9: No. 86 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: I know everyone's eager for a solution to this. We 87 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: all are. Nobody wants combat, nobody wants war, nobody wants death. 88 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: I mean, we've already lost seven tragically, and we hope 89 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: we don't lose a single life more. No one wants 90 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: this to continue indefinitely. But I would think. But now, 91 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: if we've learned anything from President Trump, it's not to 92 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: take everything he says literally but seriously Trump. I got 93 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: a lesson on Trump well before I really understood Trump, 94 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: and it was that the great Rush Limbaugh's the guy 95 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: that coined that phrase. Take Trump seriously, but don't always 96 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: take him literally. So when he says soon, he then 97 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: turns right around and confuses them all and he says, well, 98 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: I think we still got some places we could blow 99 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: the hell out of if we need to. He's trying 100 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: to confuse them. He's sending the message we might ease up. Maybe. 101 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: Why why would you do that strategically? Why might you say, yeah, 102 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: we're done. I think we're done pretty quick. I think 103 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 2: we're about to wrap things up. Why might you say 104 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: that strategically? 105 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 10: I guess, you know, to quell any worries here that 106 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 10: the press. If the press is asking the questions, she's like, yeah, sure, 107 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 10: we'll bore ended up soon. 108 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: Or or how about in Iran they come out of 109 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: their little holes there of hiding, thinking, well, this seems 110 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 2: like he's easing up. He's probably about to pack things 111 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: up and go home and then kabboom. Maybe from a 112 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: strategic perspective, do you want your enemy to think? I 113 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: think we're probably about to wrap up, you're packing your 114 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: things up, and then all of a sudden, here comes 115 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: a tomahawk you weren't expecting. Could it be that? Possibly? 116 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 10: Definitely don't want the enemy to know anything that we're doing. 117 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the point. I don't know. I guess 118 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: journalists must just be bored. They won't learn this lesson. 119 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: They keep asking this president specifics about his plans or 120 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: when he's done, or what specifically are his objectives, no more, 121 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: no less as if he's going to project them, and 122 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: everybody from him to the Secretary of War keeps saying, 123 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: we're not going to tell you our plans. Guys, We're 124 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: going to do this as long as it takes. I mean, 125 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 2: over the weekend, people were claiming Caroline Levitt said we 126 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: were going to have a draft, no kidding, because somebody said, well, 127 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 2: there are mothers out there worried that their young sons 128 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: are going to be sent off to war, to which 129 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt said, we're not talking about anything specific. I 130 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: think it was to Maria Bartiromo, we're not giving you 131 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: specifics on any of this, and immediately everyone on the 132 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 2: left said, whoop, there you go. Caroline Levitt just said 133 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: they're going to institute a draft. Twenty four hours later, 134 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: the president says we're going to be done soon, and 135 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: that's the headlines this morning. We're done soon. Literally, we 136 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: went from instituting a draft to we're done soon. If 137 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: you're watching cable news in twenty four hours, that's how 138 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: stupid media coverage is of this. Of course, they want 139 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: to find a rift anywhere they can. They're just confident 140 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: that Jdvans is sitting out somewhere with his arms crossed 141 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: and pouting give me number one here, trying to find 142 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: a schism between the Vice president and the president here 143 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: on the policy. 144 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 7: I don't think so. No, No, we get along very 145 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 7: well on this. He was, i would say, philosophically a 146 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 7: little bit different than me. 147 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: I think he was. 148 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 7: Maybe less enthusiastic about going, but he was quite enthusiastic. 149 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 7: But I felt it was something we had to do. 150 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 7: I didn't feel we had a choice. If we didn't 151 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 7: do it, they would have done it to us. I felt, 152 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 7: based on the negotiations that were being had by Steve 153 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 7: Woodcuff and Jared Kushner and Marco and Pete and everybody 154 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 7: was involved. I felt that they were gonna that they 155 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 7: were looking to tap us along before they hit, and 156 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 7: I thought they were gonna hit, And if they hit 157 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 7: us first, that would have been a very bad thing. 158 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: Okay, So that's good news for JD. Vance. If in 159 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: fact his pursuit of the presidency is in the offing, 160 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: he can point to that clip and that moment, perhaps 161 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: when it will inevitably come up. You know, your boss, 162 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: President Trump decided to strike you rn. You guys ran 163 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: on no new regime change, foreign wars. You promised, you promised, 164 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: and he did it. Anyway, Were you part of that? 165 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: Were you in the room? Did you make that decision? 166 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: I guess JD Vance can not credibly eddy point to 167 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: that clip and say, well, as President Trump said, we 168 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: had a difference in philosophy on this, was that covered 169 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: for the vice president and his future? 170 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 10: I think so, and I think Trump is aware of that. 171 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 10: So I'm gonna honestly I'm proud of Trump for handling 172 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 10: it that way. 173 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, giving him the out, giving Jdvans the chance to 174 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: say I didn't necessarily agree. But now, how does one explain. 175 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: If you're JD. Vance and you're trying to cater to 176 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: the I'll just say, generically, the podcast crowd, how do 177 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: you do? So they're already white hot, like they're mad 178 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: as hornets that this is even happening. I don't know 179 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: what they expect from the vice president. He's not the 180 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: guy in charge, but they're already mad at him. Can 181 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: he credibly rain them back in by saying, hey, you 182 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: heard the boss. I didn't agree. I let my uh, 183 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: you know, frustrations and or my disagreement be known. But 184 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: nothing I can do. I didn't make the call. Is 185 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: that Is it gonna work for JD Vance? I don't 186 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: know how serious? 187 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't. I don't know that it will because 188 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 10: the podcast crew is tough, and I think that there's 189 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 10: also a benefit to kind of putting them on edge 190 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 10: right now, Yeah, you know, to kind of it goes 191 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 10: to what you're saying, like there's a benefit to this 192 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 10: and them kind of hooting and hollering, thinking that that 193 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 10: kind of pressure is going to change. 194 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: Is someone like Trump's opinion on this, Yes, he's already 195 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 2: basically told them to take a leap. I mean, as 196 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 2: I understand it, last week, he's already told one of 197 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 2: them he's done. In fact, I think he declared one 198 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: of them. And again, I'm trying to hold fast to 199 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: my new pledge that I'm not invoking names this year. 200 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: But he's already told one high profile guy he's not 201 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 2: maga take a hike, right. Did I read that correctly? 202 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: I believe so. Yes, at least one of them. Yes. 203 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: So he's basically said I'm done with you. You're not making 204 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: any now. Having said that, I do appreciate the fact 205 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: that Laura Ingram wasn't afraid to take a shot at 206 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 2: Bruce from Family Guy. Yesterday, she was talking to Ted 207 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: Cruz about Lindsey Graham, a guy who just annoys the 208 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: hell out of all of us, and we all wish 209 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: would just go away. No matter what side of what 210 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: issue he's on, we just wish he'd go away little less. 211 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham is good for all of us. This came 212 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: up yesterday on Laura's show Number three. 213 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 11: Lindsey is passionate about defending America, and he is on 214 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 11: the road a lot. He's talking to world leaders all 215 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 11: over the world. There are times when I agree with 216 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 11: lindsay there are times when I don't. When it comes 217 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 11: to the threat Iran poses, Lindsay agrees they pose a 218 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 11: major threat to America, and I agree they pose a 219 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 11: major threat to America. Look, Lindsay and I disagreed on 220 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 11: the Iraq War. He thought the Iraq War was a 221 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 11: good idea. I thought the Iraq War was a mistake. 222 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 11: I think Iran is fundamentally different because Saddam Hussein was 223 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 11: not murdering Americans on the scale and level that Iran 224 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 11: has been doing. Saddam Hussein was not funding Hamas and 225 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 11: hesblat killing Americans, and President Trump acted boldly to take 226 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 11: out a regime that had been killing Americans over. 227 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing on that. 228 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 11: I don't think it's a fair characterization that Lindsay is 229 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 11: an intermediary for Israel. And a lot of the critics say, say, oh, 230 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 11: the war is all about Israel. 231 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: Understand, it's not about Israel. It is about America. 232 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 11: The reason President Trump acted is to defend America. 233 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: So look, I don't disagree with taking Lindsey Graham as 234 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: a messenger out of this equation as soon as possible. 235 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: I'm glad to see that Laura Ingram and the Fox 236 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: News team decided to go ahead and take this to 237 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: the Republican Party. They needed to hear it. He is 238 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: not helpful. There's no question he is not helpful. The 239 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: President needs to understand he's not helpful, and everybody needs 240 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: to shut Lindsey Grahm up less. Lindsey Graham will always 241 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 2: be better for everyone. He is rightly or wrongly considered 242 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: a close too close an ally to Israel to be impartial, 243 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: and many don't believe that he's thinking about the country 244 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: first at all. And I have to give Laura Ingram credit. 245 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: That is not a venue you typically see that called out, 246 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: but she did so yesterday with Ted Cruz and for 247 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: her for doing so. So that's the status of things 248 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 2: at the moment. President Trump says soon, and now everybody 249 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: thinks that means today oil prices dropping, stocks rising. Isn't 250 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: it amazing? It's almost like most of the news that 251 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: you're consuming isn't real at all, Ed, It's just a 252 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 2: bunch of emotional direck driven by the day, and nothing 253 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 2: we watch on any given day is real up or down. 254 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: It's never really real. It's just hysterics every day. 255 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 10: Yes, and this is I think how Trump knew that 256 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 10: the media would react to all this, So maybe it's 257 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 10: not a bad thing that the mainstream media is just 258 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 10: all over the place with this. 259 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he continues to make people look like asses. 260 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I think the doomsayers just continually doubt him 261 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: and say it's the end of the world and he's 262 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: dragging us into World War three, and it's not the oil. 263 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: Here goes oil two hundred dollars a barrel, and then 264 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: none of it happens within twenty four hours. At some 265 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: point I think humility would kick in. Yeah, if it happens, 266 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: we certainly will jump in here. CNN reporting that soon soon, 267 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: that's the word of the day. Soon. What a soon mean? 268 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: We don't know. Could be weeks, could be months soon, 269 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: But CNN is saying soon Secretary Higsith will make remarks 270 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: about the warn Iran. I don't know independently whether that's 271 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 2: true or not. We will continue to monitor it. We've 272 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: not heard that yet, but if that happens. It has 273 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: been coinciding with the show. Rare opportunities to jip things 274 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: as they're happening live during this morning show that almost 275 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: never happens. Typically political Washington waits till nine Eastern to 276 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: start anything, and we wrapped the show. But all of 277 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: this war update stuff has been falling during the show live, 278 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: which has been great. We've been able to join it 279 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 2: in progress and we will continue here. So keep it 280 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: here this morning if you're in fact listening to us live, 281 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: and I guess those of you listening later you'll enjoy 282 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: it too. But you can just fast forward to it, 283 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: all right. President Trump, with the update yesterday in number 284 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: ninety six, said we're ahead of schedule. Everything's going exactly 285 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: as plan. That's why he felt inclined to say soon again. 286 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: Don't take it literally. Soon could mean weeks, Soon could 287 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: mean a month in combat. It doesn't mean tomorrow. But 288 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: he's feeling good clearly in number ninety six here. 289 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 7: We're ahead of our initial timeline by a lot. I 290 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 7: would say that we probably would not have thought after 291 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 7: a month we'd be here. In addition to the fact 292 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 7: that we've taken out the leadership twice and maybe three times, 293 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 7: and we, as you know, we want to be involved. 294 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 7: We don't want another president that maybe wouldn't be willing 295 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 7: to do what I'm willing to do for the good 296 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 7: of the world. For the good of our nation to 297 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 7: be stuck with the situation in five years or ten 298 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 7: years from now. So we think they should put a 299 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 7: president in or the head of the country, and that's 300 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 7: going to be able to do something peacefully for a change. 301 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 7: They've been doing this for forty seven years, killing people 302 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 7: for forty seven years. 303 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: By the way, they say that the son of the 304 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: Iyatola has already some reports say he has been injured 305 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: in some kind of blast, not killed, but severely injured. 306 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: So can't really specify more than that. That's what I read. 307 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: Can't confirm it. If there's a press conference today, maybe 308 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: we'll get some more. And if the press is concerned, 309 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: or you're concerned, or anyone's concerned about sleeper sells or 310 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: danger here at home, now seems like a good time 311 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: to have a discussion about the Department of Homeland Security 312 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: being fully funded and not screwing around with that. In 313 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: number ninety seven, this comes up sleeper sales at home. 314 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: If you're really worried about that, we ought to have 315 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: a serious conversation about funding DHS. Democrats, don't you think, 316 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: take a listen. 317 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 7: One of the things we have to do is get 318 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 7: the Democrats to stop the Democrats shut down because, as 319 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: you know, the apparatus that looks into that, Schumer and 320 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 7: the Democrats have shut it down, which shows you they 321 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 7: probably hate our country a lot. But the Democrats have 322 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 7: to open that up. But we've got very very good 323 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 7: intelligence into that. We know a lot of different things 324 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 7: that have happened that have been very bad. A lot 325 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 7: of them came in during the Biden open border period. 326 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 7: But we have them under. 327 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: Okay, yep, they they they they're watching it as closely 328 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: as they can.

Good to be with you, folks, our 330 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: telephone number eight five five Stigaul if you want to 331 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: get in here today, whatever's on your mind. Happy to 332 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: have you. You know. President Trump during this press conference yesterday, 333 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: I should mention he was asked about the seven dead 334 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: heroes amongst our service personnel and what does he think 335 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 2: about their loss and the family's reaction to it, And 336 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: when asked about it, he said that every one of them, 337 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: every one of them, without exception, all seven families that 338 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: he met with as they received their remains at Dover, 339 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,479 Speaker 2: said finish the job, sir. He said they were all incredible, 340 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: and each one of them said, finish the job, sir. 341 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing that most of us, they say, 342 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: what one percent of us serve this country to begin with. 343 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 2: You know, most of us will never really even know 344 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: what it is to server enlist in that way. And 345 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: so maybe just a few more of us have relatives 346 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 2: directly those that have lived under our roofs are kids 347 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: or brothers, sisters, dads, moms who have actually enlisted and served. 348 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: It's still a very select few of us, and it's 349 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 2: almost impossible to understand the hardwiring of people that are 350 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: that selfless. But boy, they are those gold star families, 351 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: what incredible people. I had the honor for a brief 352 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 2: window of time of working with what was then the 353 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 2: Liberty USO. It was the chapter based in Philadelphia and 354 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: headquartered whenever you go to the airport, you see the 355 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: USO offices or kind of the stations there inside the airport. 356 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 2: The Liberty USO opened a beautiful one a few years 357 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 2: ago in the Philadelphia Airport, and this is a place where, 358 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 2: you know, when people are being transported around the world, 359 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: maybe they get some comfort, some creature comforts from home. 360 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: They've got a nice stocked kitchen, maybe a place to sleep, 361 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: video games, just places to kind of decompress, call home. 362 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 2: They're really nice lounges and the people that staff them 363 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: are all volunteers and they do great work well. Philadelphia, 364 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: in particular that chapter of the USO that's staffed by people. 365 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 2: And Jennifer, who I think is still there as a volunteer. 366 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: She's the one who physically goes with the families they 367 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: all come into Philadelphia, and then she goes with the 368 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: families too Dover when our heroes come home in these 369 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 2: flag grape caskets. She's the one that takes the families 370 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 2: to Dover to meet for the first time with the 371 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: families and then to receive the remains of their loved ones. 372 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 8: It's just. 373 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 2: It's just a gut punch to hear the stories. But 374 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: every single time, without exception, the self lessness of these families, 375 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 2: the stories that come through of their selflessness, is just 376 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 2: it's a remarkable thing. And so we stop and again 377 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 2: profound thanks and gratitude to these seven families for what 378 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 2: was ultimate, the ultimate sacrifice. But President Trump said, each 379 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: and every one of them said, finish the job, sir, 380 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,239 Speaker 2: and I don't doubt that's one hundred percent true. That's 381 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: the kind of people these gold Star families are, so 382 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: I wanted to mention that, you know, as we celebrate 383 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday this year, July 384 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 2: fourth marks two fifty. You may have heard me talk 385 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: about the Herzog Foundation before. They are great friends and 386 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: their mission is very very simple. That is to catalyze 387 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 2: grow Christian education all across the country, whether it's in homeschooling, 388 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: whether it's to help private Christian schools grow homeschools, homeschool pods, 389 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: whatever the case may be. Just to find in this 390 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 2: era of blossoming school choice, help kids and families find 391 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: alternatives to the run of the mill public school education. 392 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 2: Not to say that's bad for everybody, but for a 393 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: lot of people it's not working and there are a 394 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: lot of alternatives in The Herzog Foundation exists to help 395 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: folks do that. They came up with something this year 396 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the country. 397 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: It also celebrate and recognize the Christian heritage of this country, 398 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: a segment they call Faith and Freedom to fifty. I 399 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: loved the concept. And so throughout the rest of these 400 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: coming weeks, we're going to drop in on the Herzog 401 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 2: Foundation and they produced these really smart pieces to help 402 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: educate us about our nation's founding from the faith based perspective. 403 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 2: It's called Faith and Freedom to fifty. Take a listen. 404 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 12: The Declaration of Independence is one of the most revere 405 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 12: pieces of American history which has been written about its 406 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 12: furious attack on the King and Parliament of England, the 407 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 12: long list of grievances, and the bold nature in which. 408 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: Our forefathers chartered their new course. 409 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 12: But do we ever stop and consider the Christian roots 410 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 12: of this so called secular document. Truly, the writers were 411 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 12: intent on breaking apart from the mightiest government on the 412 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 12: planet and establishing their own nation. Their desire was to 413 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 12: leave the old world and monarchs behind and form a 414 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 12: nation governed by we the people. 415 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: To do so, they knew that they would need to. 416 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 12: Employ the strongest asset they had, faith in God Almighty. 417 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: No lesser force could aid their cause. 418 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 13: In just a little over thirteen hundred words, the signers 419 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 13: stated their case not only to the King and his ministers, 420 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 13: but to the world. This wasn't a document to be 421 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 13: read and filed away across the ocean. The declaration was 422 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 13: a statement to be read loud and clear, not just 423 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 13: throughout the colonies, but across generations and centuries to those 424 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 13: longing for freedom. And besides the King of England, who 425 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 13: do they references? You guessed it, Our Lord and God. 426 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 4: Examined closely, The Declaration of Independence is a long list 427 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 4: of acts by an uncaring monarch and an ineffectual parliament 428 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 4: against the thirteen colonies. But this list of intolerable offenses 429 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: is framed nicely by two introductory paragraphs and two concluding ones. 430 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 4: And in each of these four framing paragraphs, the authors 431 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 4: carefully placed a reference to an almighty power to help 432 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 4: plead their case. Within the same text, they included well 433 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: established Christian principles to illustrate the unnatural arrangement that existed 434 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 4: between king and people and the very natural idea that 435 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 4: mankind is suited to govern itself. Although the document doesn't 436 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: come right out and say it, this idea is based 437 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 4: on a fundamental Judeo Christian belief that man was made 438 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 4: in the image and likeness of God beings with free 439 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 4: will of forming themselves into a body. Politic and ruling 440 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 4: their own affairs without any crowned head declaring a divine 441 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 4: right to govern. 442 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 12: These concepts were familiar to most people living in colonial America, 443 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 12: where the. 444 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: Most read book was still the Holy Bible. 445 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 12: The influence of the Great Awakening a generation earlier had 446 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 12: fanned the flames of religious revival. 447 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: And brought faith back to the forefront of everyday life. 448 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 12: This religious verbo, coupled with the writings of philosophers from 449 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 12: the Age of Reason, strengthened the arguments outlined in the 450 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 12: Declaration of Independence. 451 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 4: So how did the author's weave Judeo Christian values into 452 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 4: the document. In the opening paragraph, memorized by generations of students, 453 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 4: we read, when in the course of human events, it 454 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 4: becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands 455 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 4: which have connected them with another, and to assume among 456 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 4: the powers of the earth the separate and equal station 457 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 4: to which the laws of nature and of Nature's God 458 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 4: entitle them. Right there in the first sentence we learn 459 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 4: that Nature's God entitles the colonists to take such action 460 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 4: as breaking from Great Britain and forming their own nation. 461 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 4: The writers had chosen their side, and it was with God, 462 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 4: not the King. 463 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 13: In the next paragraph, quite possibly the most famous text 464 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 13: in the document, we are once again reminded from whom 465 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 13: all rights emanate. 466 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: We hold these truths to be self. 467 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 13: Evident, that all men are created equal, that they are 468 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 13: endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among 469 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 13: these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 470 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 4: After listing twenty six offenses by the King, and a 471 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: short paragraph describing how the colonies attempted to resolve them, 472 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 4: we arrive at the final paragraph. Here there are not one, 473 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 4: but two appeals to God. In the first, the signers 474 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 4: appeal quote to the Supreme Judge of the world end quote, 475 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 4: to aid in their righteousness of their cause. In the 476 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 4: final sentence, they asked for support quote with a firm 477 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 4: reliance on the protection of Divine providence end quote, another 478 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 4: phrase many of the founders used to refer to God. 479 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 12: These four distinct references to Almighty God framed the entire argument. 480 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 12: Knowing the religious diversity of the colonies, the writers chose 481 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 12: a variety of phrases in tones deliberately to reach the 482 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 12: Christian population and bring reason and moral clarity to this 483 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 12: cause of rebellion. 484 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 13: Although the founders held a range of views about religion, 485 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 13: they all assumed God was their creator and the author 486 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 13: of human rights. Most Americans in seventeen seventy six were 487 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 13: deeply influenced by Christian ideas and by the Bible itself. 488 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 13: Their faith guided daily decisions and tied each colony and 489 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 13: citizen to something greater. 490 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 4: In a sense, the Declaration is a written compact between 491 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 4: the people and their God, and the tradition of other 492 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: famous covenants throughout Judeo Christian history, the colonists placed their 493 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 4: struggle in the protective arms of God to aid them. 494 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 4: It is with this conviction that the authors presented the 495 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 4: Declaration to the Continental Congress nearly two hundred and fifty 496 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 4: years ago, and so armed they fueled. 497 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 14: The revolution of the Herzog Foundation. We believe these truths 498 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 14: still matter. Join us each week as we explore the 499 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 14: Christian foundations of our country's most important moments, because understanding 500 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 14: our past is essential to protecting our future. 501 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 2: We thank the good people at the Herzog Foundation for 502 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 2: this lesson, and we're going to be leaning in on 503 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 2: them each week as we continue on to the two 504 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country.

They've 505 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 2: been putting together these vignettes and they're so instructive for 506 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 2: people in your life that may not understand, or maybe 507 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: you don't understand, and that's okay if you don't the 508 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 2: full the totality of the faith based backbone that is 509 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: the founding of this country. The Herzog Foundation really felt 510 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: it imperative to focus on that this year. I'm glad 511 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 2: that they did, and we're happy to partner with them. 512 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 2: So I want to thank them for taking the time 513 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: to put these together.

I just asked 524 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: in formally unscientifically on X what do you think about 525 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 2: leaving Iran and still allowing the Iyatola types to run 526 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 2: the country, And overwhelmingly, at least yesterday, according to the 527 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: unscientific polling, you said, no, that was not going to 528 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 2: work for you. You wanted to see a change in leadership. 529 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: But President Trump has said specifically that is not the objective. 530 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: I mean, he'd like to see a change in leadership, 531 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 2: but that was not the stated goal. So interesting to 532 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: see the numbers there, and there are new numbers on 533 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: this pole on this war generally that came out too 534 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: from Ras Mussel.

And the good people at Food for the 540 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 2: Poor were so appreciative and thankful to you for your 541 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: warm embrace in our first year of their efforts. If 542 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 2: you don't know what Food for the Poor does, well, 543 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 2: let me tell you a little about it here in 544 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 2: our hemisphere, not just feeding those without food throughout the 545 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: Caribbean through threat Latin America, but just giving water, clean 546 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: living water. They work with seventeen different extraordinarily poor countries 547 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: across the Latin America and Caribbean areas. Every single day, 548 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: you're talking about mothers walking for miles, kids exposed to 549 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: preventable diseases, entire communities held back by the absence of 550 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 2: basic clean water. This audience sprung into action last year 551 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 2: to help this organization, and they were moved. I got 552 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 2: to tell you. I saw them at the National Religious 553 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 2: Broadcasters as they made a beeline to me and asked 554 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 2: me to tell you in advance, thank you so much 555 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 2: for the help you provided last year.

They take every nickel you give 558 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 2: and they stretch it man, and they make it work. 559 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 2: Just listen to stories like this of this young mom 560 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: who spoke through a Food for the Poor interpreter about 561 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: the work they're doing and the help she needs. 562 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 15: Listened to the the water truck comes every fifteen days, 563 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 15: but sometimes it doesn't come, and she says, like now 564 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 15: they just it just came, and they didn't have any water. 565 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: For a while. She lives to castasus Ptola. 566 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 15: The water is not clean, becomes dirdy. She boils it 567 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 15: and asks chlorine to it. Why she can get. 568 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 2: It, adds chlorine to look. Think about that the next 569 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: time you turn the water fassed on at your own 570 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 2: sink at home.

Assessing Trump feeling it. 607 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 16: I think his confidence is based obviously on what he's 608 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 16: hearing from the commanders over there, that the mission is 609 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 16: ahead of schedule, that they did far more in the 610 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 16: first few days to wipe out Iran's retaliatory capacity than 611 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 16: they expected they might be able to, and that there's 612 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 16: not a lot left over there to menaces. 613 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: And by the way, just as an aside, speaking of 614 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 2: feeling good, Trump was feeling very, very good when he 615 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: got the news that the FBI has now stormed in 616 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: and acquired the election records of Maricopa County. Yesterday, he 617 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 2: wrote on Truth Social Great. Yeah, I'd say great. One 618 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: of the more corrupt counties in the country, Maricopa County, Arizona, 619 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 2: much like Fulton County, Georgia. So that's two raids now 620 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: of election materials there. We will continue to stay on 621 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 2: top of that. I don't know about you. If you 622 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 2: have yo yo dieted all of your life, I certainly 623 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 2: have Keto paleo weight watchers. Intermittent fasting you lose weight, 624 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: and I have. I've lost dramatic amounts of weight before 625 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: only to gain it back and then some and you 626 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: probably kick yourself for it, and you think it's all 627 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 2: about your own willpower and your own lack of discipline. Look, 628 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 2: maybe there's some of that, but the real truth of 629 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: it is it was not strictly about willpower. There is 630 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 2: one thing only that determines whether your body burns fat 631 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: or stores fat. And if you don't know how to 632 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 2: fix that, every diet you're ever going to try fails. 633 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: That's all that changed for me was looking at it differently, 634 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,239 Speaker 2: and PhD Weight Loss told me how to look at 635 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 2: it differently. Doctor Ashley Lucas and I started talking about 636 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 2: her program and why it's worked so well for some 637 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 2: of my colleagues and how she's different. And so when 638 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 2: I went on this program last year and I began 639 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 2: to eat real food, I didn't have to take any 640 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 2: kind of shots or any kind of gimmicky drugs or 641 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: anything like that. It was just purely understanding how my 642 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 2: body best metabolizes food, when to eat, what to eat, 643 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 2: and not starving myself by the way. And here's the deal. 644 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 2: You start to have real victories quickly, and I lost 645 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 2: over forty pounds in under four months time fast Eddie, 646 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,959 Speaker 2: our executive producer, was so impressed with it he said, 647 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind trying it. I said how much you 648 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 2: want to lose? He said fifty pounds. So we dialed 649 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 2: up Ashley Lucas and I said, can Eddie lose fifty 650 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 2: pounds along with me here? And she said, oh absolutely, 651 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 2: Let's give it till May. So he started the program. Folks, 652 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 2: he is already halfway to his goal after just thirteen 653 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 2: weeks or so.

They think that he handled this very 717 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 2: very well there at the New York Times. They think 718 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 2: that somehow doing a soft shoe when it comes to 719 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 2: terrorism is something to celebrate, something that is admirable. Mondammi 720 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 2: chooses his words carefully after alleged terror attack. In the 721 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 2: days after a homemade bomb laced with metal was hurled 722 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 2: into a highly charged protest near his official residence, the 723 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 2: mayor did not turn his to his typical means of communication, 724 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 2: no short form videos, no impassioned speeches. He chose an 725 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 2: alternative path two deliberative written statements, and one fourteen minute 726 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 2: joint appearance with his police commissioner. He evaded the truth 727 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 2: of the entire thing, which we talked a little bit 728 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 2: about yesterday. And of course you may not even know 729 00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 2: that it happened. You know, I was on a call 730 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 2: yesterday with some colleagues who weren't really aware of what 731 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 2: had happened over the weekend. In fact, a couple of them, 732 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 2: you know what, a couple of them thought happened. A 733 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 2: couple of them were left with the belief, because of 734 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 2: mainstream media coverage of it, that it was some sort 735 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 2: of bigoted protest that had hurled the bomb ed. Do 736 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 2: you know that people thought given the reporting on this 737 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: story outside the Mayor of New York's mansion and the 738 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 2: protest group that gathered there over the weekend, the reporting 739 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 2: on it was so poor and so purposefully misdirecting of 740 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 2: those who were consuming it. There were people left with 741 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 2: the impression the protesters were the ones that threw the 742 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 2: bomb at the mayor. 743 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 10: I could totally see that, Yes, that was the big headline. 744 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 10: I mean, when I was prepping for the show Sunday, 745 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 10: like you would think that, yes, it was this Jake 746 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 10: lang In, this far right group that actually threw the bomb. 747 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, this is a group that said they're 748 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 2: concerned about the Islamification of the country, that Islamism is growing. 749 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: And so this group gathered to protest outside the Islamist 750 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 2: mayor's home. Now you can call that bigotry if you 751 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 2: want or whatever, but none of them were being violent. 752 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 2: They were gathered peacefully. And along come these two young 753 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 2: gie hottists who hurl a couple of IEDs into the protest. 754 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 2: Thankfully they do not detonate. We learn a little more 755 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 2: about them isis loving wannabe terrorists. The New York Post 756 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 2: calls them. Grew up with successful immigrant families an idyllic 757 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 2: white picket fence suburban Philadelphia Langhorn to be specific. For 758 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 2: those of you listening on Philadelphia's AM nine ninety. The 759 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 2: answer we know Langhorn. There parents even own a gorgeous 760 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 2: two point two five million dollar home in Newtown, Pennsylvania. 761 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 2: That's Bucks County for those of you. This is one 762 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 2: of the critical swing counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 763 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 2: Everybody watches Bucks County to see how that'll go come 764 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 2: election time. Very very well. To do a lot of 765 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 2: concentrated money. There. A lot of New Yorkers moved to 766 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 2: Bucks County to get out of the cesspool that is 767 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 2: New York City. All due respect to you good people 768 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 2: who listen to New York, I love you, but you 769 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 2: know what I mean. People are trying to flee to normalcy, 770 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,919 Speaker 2: and they're all going to Bucks County. The thirty two 771 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 2: hundred square foot two story house with a respectable six 772 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty three thousand dollars price tag. Parents hailed 773 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 2: from Turkey. They've been nothing but sweet, kind and loving. 774 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 2: I'm in shock, authority said. The two boys allegedly pledge 775 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 2: their allegiance to Isis after their arrests appear to have 776 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,760 Speaker 2: been radicalized online and plotted to detonate deadly homemade bombs 777 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 2: at an anti Muslim protest. That's not what it was. 778 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 2: It's not anti Muslim. Not all Muslims are wild eyed 779 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 2: Islamists necessarily, and I know people quibble with that. I'm 780 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 2: not here to get into a theological debate, but Islamo 781 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 2: supremacy is different than all Muslims. Now, you can say 782 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 2: all Muslims are is well, perhaps, but that's like saying 783 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 2: all Christians are Bible believers. We certainly know that's not true. 784 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,879 Speaker 2: So there are varying stages. Now you're true dedicated Islamist. Yes, 785 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 2: that's converter. Be killed, that's true. Here's a little bit 786 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 2: of the dear Mayor addressing this over the weekend, and 787 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 2: his very well crafted, carefully crafted The New York Times 788 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 2: loved this, Give me number ninety three. 789 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 17: On Saturday, a protest was held outside Gracie Mansion, where 790 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 17: I live with my wife Rama. Neither of us were 791 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,919 Speaker 17: home at the time. This was a vile protest rooted 792 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 17: in white supremacy, entitled stop the Islamic Takeover of New 793 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 17: York City. I'm the first Muslim mayor of our city. 794 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 17: Anti Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is 795 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 17: it anything new for the one million or so Muslim 796 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 17: New Yorkers who know this city as our home. While 797 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 17: I found this protest appalling, I will not waiver in 798 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 17: my belief that it should be allowed to happen. Ours 799 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,800 Speaker 17: is a free society where the right to peaceful protest 800 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 17: is sacred. It does not belong only to those we 801 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 17: agree with, It belongs to everyone. I will defend that 802 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 17: right every day that I am mayor, even when those 803 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 17: protesting say things that I abhor. 804 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I abhor the things he says. By the way, 805 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,240 Speaker 2: we mentioned yesterday his wife. You should know, the First 806 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: Lady of New York City is not a silent private spouse. 807 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 2: She is a Syrian American activist with a very visible 808 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:39,240 Speaker 2: Instagram platform where she posts political art and blasts American 809 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 2: imperialism and war crimes by Israel in factories at news 810 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 2: reports reveal she's liked multiple posts celebrating October seventh. She 811 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 2: cheered the attack in real time. She also liked content 812 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,919 Speaker 2: dismissing the New York Times investigation into mass rape, fabricated 813 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 2: hoax or a mass rape hoax. And the Mayor's response 814 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 2: to this is that she's a private person with no 815 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 2: formal role. Well, that's dodge and it collapses immediately. When 816 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 2: the mayor's household is linked to the celebration or minimization 817 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 2: or sanitation of October seventh, this is no longer a 818 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 2: private matter. It's public judgment, it's public character, and it's 819 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 2: a flashing red warning for the rest of us and 820 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 2: certainly New Yorkers. This is not a mysterious pattern We've 821 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 2: watched this unfold across the Middle East for decades. Is 822 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 2: Lomist movements rarely begin by declaring their ambitions openly. They 823 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 2: begin by normalizing the rhetoric of resistance. They excuse violence 824 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 2: as grievance, and they shame critics as bigots. And that's 825 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 2: exactly what this guy did yesterday. These two radicalized suburban 826 00:44:54,239 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 2: Philadelphia bigots, themselves wild eyed isis is Lomist terrorists is 827 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 2: what they were, tried to kill peaceful protesters, and the 828 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,280 Speaker 2: mayor tried to excuse it by calling the protesters the bigots. 829 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 2: This language softens the brutality until brutality becomes politically protected. 830 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 2: Iran did this, ha Masa does this? Free societies that 831 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,399 Speaker 2: fail to recognize the pattern will pay the price later. 832 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 2: And so these sleezeballs like this mayor basically excusing these 833 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 2: two thugs who have been radicalized young men radicalize online 834 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 2: under our own noses, in our own suburbs. That's dangerous stuff. 835 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 2: This jeh Hottish barbarism is very likely to continue, and 836 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,839 Speaker 2: it is happening right under our noses, and it is 837 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 2: not prejudiced to recognize pattern. Here. Free societies survive dangerous 838 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 2: ideologies when you recognize patterns. New York does not need 839 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,720 Speaker 2: to excuses or benefit of the doubt lectures from leaders 840 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 2: who keep failing obvious moral tests. They need a mayor 841 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 2: whose instincts protect every innocent life and name evil without hesitation. 842 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 2: The New York Times celebrates the Mayor's careful speech on this. 843 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 2: The mayor, if he were capable, should have stepped forward 844 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 2: to brand these people as jihattists. But he can't do 845 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 2: that because he shares their ideology. And that is a 846 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,280 Speaker 2: really dark, sinister thought that I know most New Yorkers 847 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 2: do not want to consider is governing them right now. 848 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 2: But that's the truth, the very uncomfortable truth. One thing 849 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 2: that continues to be true. Our friends at the International 850 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: Fellowship of Christians and Jews keep busy because the work 851 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 2: they're doing during Operation Epic Fury that continues in earnest 852 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 2: and we should not forget the work that they do. 853 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 2: After yes what is considered success. And the President held 854 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 2: a press conference yesterday saying that maybe as soon that 855 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 2: we will see this come to an end. What is 856 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 2: not coming to an end anytime soon is the threat 857 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 2: that Israel and particularly kids and elderly folks are living 858 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 2: under When those sirens go off, they have minutes to 859 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 2: get to shelters. And the International Fellowship of Christians and 860 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,240 Speaker 2: Jews exists to help. As that's happening across Israel now 861 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 2: during Operation Epic Fury, and really beyond that, before that 862 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 2: and probably after, children are being traumatized, families just exhausted, 863 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 2: homes have been destroyed, and people on the ground are 864 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 2: just trying to survive and get through it all. IFCJ 865 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 2: works diligently to help do that, and if you don't 866 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 2: know about the work they do, you can get more 867 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,399 Speaker 2: familiar with it by going to SUPPORTIFCJ dot org.

The complaint sets forth the factual allegations 897 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 18: supporting those charges. As alleged in the complaint, the defendants 898 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 18: were inspired by ISIS to carry out their attack. 899 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 2: The New York Times says the mayor his rise was 900 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 2: fueled in part by his uncommon aptitude for communicating to 901 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 2: New Yorkers on social media, as well as his full 902 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 2: throated condemnation of Israel and its treatment of the Palestinians. 903 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 2: Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Hear this, this is the 904 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 2: New York Times. He also governs the largest Jewish population 905 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 2: outside of Israel. That's correct, in a city that has 906 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 2: been targeted over the course of two decades by Islamic extremists. 907 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 2: That's correct. That's who these two young guys were. And 908 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 2: he actually made it sound yesterday, and media covered this 909 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 2: in such a way that left many people, same people, 910 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 2: smart people, with the impression that maybe it was the 911 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 2: protesters trying to hurt the mayor. He muddied it on purpose, 912 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 2: because quite frankly, his ideology is no damn different than 913 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 2: these two young guys who tried to kill the protesters yesterday. 914 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 2: It's not any different. It's just dressed up and more flowery. 915 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 2: And The New York Times says, the words are chosen carefully. 916 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 2: You're darn right. They're chosen carefully. They're meant to obfuscate, 917 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 2: They're meant to cloud the situation. They're meant to leave 918 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 2: you thinking. Do you know how uncomfortable it is still 919 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 2: for people to hear me say Islamism should not be 920 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,399 Speaker 2: tolerated in the United States? Do you know the difference, Eddie? 921 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 2: Do you know how uncomfortable that makes? People? Still thoughtful people? 922 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,439 Speaker 2: And I'm not picking on you if you're one of them, 923 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,760 Speaker 2: but don't be uncomfortable by that. Islamo supremacy is different 924 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 2: than Muslim hear me. Just because you're a Muslim does 925 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,800 Speaker 2: not make you a wild eyed Islamo supremacist. There is 926 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 2: a difference. Does everyone understand that difference? And Eddie, if 927 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 2: they don't, it's time we learn it because it's not 928 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 2: going away. So yes, let's see over the weekend. It 929 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 2: was It was Sunday, wasn't it. Yeah? Sunday, my wife 930 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 2: Christine and I attended an event with my daughter Anna, 931 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 2: who is a Christian school and has come up through 932 00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 2: a Christian school since middle school, and last year took 933 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 2: a mission trip to the Dominican with her school. Came 934 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 2: home and said, Dad, I've decided it's on my heart. 935 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 2: I want to become a missionary. And I just thought, wow, 936 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 2: I mean, that's obviously God working in that young woman, 937 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 2: because that's nothing her mother and I ever talked about 938 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,240 Speaker 2: or put on her heart. But what she came back from, 939 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 2: what she came back to tell us was the unbelievable 940 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 2: poverty and the need that she saw. It really registered 941 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,840 Speaker 2: with her in such a way that she just felt 942 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 2: she felt compelled. She's going back to the Dominican this year, 943 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, to intern over the summer 944 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 2: for a full month. I'm so proud of her, and 945 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 2: I told her about the organization that we work with 946 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 2: called Food for the Poor, the Salem Media Group, my 947 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 2: parent company has four years before I even joined the company, 948 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,200 Speaker 2: they've been working with this tremendous Christian outreach group called 949 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 2: Food for the Poor, rushing clean, living water to communities, 950 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 2: just like my daughter has been volunteering in now the 951 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 2: last couple of years, seventeen different countries in all across 952 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 2: Latin America and the Caribbean. Now, these people, first and 953 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 2: foremost what they do is yeah they bring food and 954 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 2: yes they bring water, but they bring the gospel to 955 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 2: all of these people that they meet. And it's something 956 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 2: very similar to what my daughter does with her work 957 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,720 Speaker 2: with young kids. Food for the Poor takes your donation 958 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 2: and stretches a big time. They do tremendous work. I 959 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 2: want you to consider not being able to get water, 960 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 2: like we turn on our faucets. That is one of 961 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 2: those just kind of basic things, just getting water to 962 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 2: a community. You have no idea what that means to 963 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 2: these people. And Food for the Poor does it. Do 964 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,320 Speaker 2: you know that a fifty dollars gift can get water 965 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 2: to two kids for a full year. One hundred dollars 966 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 2: four kids. That's the way it works. It's the same blessing. 967 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 2: A family of four for just one hundred dollars gift 968 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,439 Speaker 2: can have life sustaining water for a full year because 969 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 2: of your gift. I love what Food for the Poor does. 970 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 2: I want you to look them up. One of the 971 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 2: things that I know about this audience is you're discerning 972 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 2: money's tight for everybody. You want to think deeply and 973 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 2: give carefully, and you want to give to people who 974 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 2: respect your gift. Food for the Poor does I've never 975 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 2: seen an organization do so much and stretch a dollar 976 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 2: so far. You can feel great about what they do 977 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 2: with your donation, and I hope that you'll feel inclined 978 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 2: to give today a fifty dollars gift or really any amount. 979 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be fifty, but fifty dollars is 980 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 2: a great kind of baseline to help a couple of 981 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,799 Speaker 2: folks for a full year. You can enable at risk 982 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 2: kids to not only get life sustaining water, but the 983 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 2: living word of Jesus into their hearts and into their hands. 984 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 2: I hope you'll act today for this twenty twenty six campaign. 985 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,840 Speaker 2: Thrilled to partner with this Christian outreach ministry called Food 986 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,800 Speaker 2: for the Poor.

Let's 1006 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 2: do this thing. Let's help these folks in our own hemisphere, 1007 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 2: Latin America and the Caribbean with not just life, sustaining 1008 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 2: water and food, but the word of God. It means everything. 1009 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 2: I know. You know that, particularly if you're a believer. 1010 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,880 Speaker 2: President Trump yesterday, updating on Epic Fury, talked about fuel 1011 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 2: and the strait of horn Mooves. We are already seeing 1012 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 2: oil prices plunging over the last twenty four hours. I 1013 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,879 Speaker 2: think largely because of statements like these number ninety five. 1014 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,879 Speaker 2: Take a listen to President Trump talking about the Strait 1015 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:38,439 Speaker 2: of Horn moves. 1016 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,360 Speaker 7: As we continue Operation Epic Fury, We're also focused on 1017 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 7: keeping energy and oil flowing to the world. And I 1018 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 7: will not allow a terrace regime to hold the world 1019 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,880 Speaker 7: hostage and attempt to stop the globes oil supply and 1020 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 7: a verandas anything to do that, they'll get hit at 1021 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,960 Speaker 7: a much much harder life. Well, I will take out 1022 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,760 Speaker 7: those targets that were easy and that I mentioned just before, 1023 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 7: will take them out so quickly they'll never be able 1024 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 7: to recover. Ever, if they want to play that game, 1025 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 7: they better not play that game. In the long run, 1026 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,680 Speaker 7: oil supplies will be dramatically more secure without the threat 1027 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 7: of Iranian chips, drones, missiles, nuclear menace or anything. So 1028 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 7: the Strait of Hormuz, who's going to remain safe? 1029 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 2: Okay, So here's the reality. Not far from my house. 1030 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 2: The gas pump where I fill up has jumped from 1031 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 2: its lowest point here just a couple of months ago. 1032 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 2: I think in the low two thirties, two dollars thirty 1033 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 2: something a gallon, maybe even the high twenties this morning. 1034 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 2: It's three thirty nine. So Daniel Turner, who is executive 1035 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 2: director of Power the Future at Daniel Turner PTF on X, 1036 00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 2: we turn to him because he knows all things energy. 1037 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 2: He watches these markets close and so how should we 1038 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 2: read it, Daniel? Oil futures dropping again. The price of 1039 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 2: oil dropped again yesterday. But the price of the pump, 1040 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 2: it's real. I've seen it. It's probably increased about a 1041 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 2: dollar off. It's low just a month or so ago. 1042 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 2: So good morning to you, hey, Chris, great to be 1043 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, what you see at the pump is 1044 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 2: what oil. 1045 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 19: Gasoline purchasers are anticipating they have to purchase next ground, 1046 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 19: right the gas that is in your tank right now, 1047 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 19: or let me rephrase that, the gas that is at 1048 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 19: the gas station that you're pumping into your tank, that 1049 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 19: was purchased at last week's prices, and et cetera, et cetera. 1050 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 19: So they're anticipating that gas is going to be more 1051 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 19: expensive because oil is more expensive, and then when the 1052 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 19: oil prices continue to drop, gas prices will drop. It's 1053 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 19: a little slower, unfortunately, on the way down than it 1054 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 19: is on the way up. But you know, the bigger 1055 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 19: story in terms of just the movement of oil markets 1056 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 19: is dropping thirty dollars in a day. That's a lot 1057 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:01,320 Speaker 19: bigger than going up thirty dollars over eight days, and 1058 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 19: that shows that there's a lot of volatility in these 1059 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 19: markets and they're just looking for a sense of calm 1060 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 19: and security. And when President Trump makes it clear that 1061 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,920 Speaker 19: that area of the region, that region of the world 1062 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 19: is secure, that the Straits is secure, that there's no 1063 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 19: political threat, there's no military threat there, everyone will start 1064 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 19: to calm down. So we're headed in a good direction. 1065 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 19: But yeah, the price of the pump is real. I 1066 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,640 Speaker 19: don't want to see Americans pay more for utilities for gas, 1067 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 19: so I hope it happens quickly. 1068 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 2: I saw a story that said, we're really buoyed and 1069 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 2: fortunate that we're a wash in natural gas right now. 1070 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 2: Can you speak to natural gas? I haven't spoken a 1071 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 2: lot about it. I don't know that it gets a 1072 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 2: lot of attention, but we have quite a bit of 1073 00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 2: it and it has helped kind of cushion this blow 1074 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 2: a bit. Yes. 1075 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 19: Yeah, And the reason why we're talking a lot about 1076 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 19: natural gas when it comes to this situation is that 1077 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:58,600 Speaker 19: the straight supportmans. 1078 00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 3: We talk about oil a lot, but natural gas. 1079 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 19: Passes through and just the same amounts of quantities basically, 1080 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 19: but for most of our European allies that's a critical lifeline. 1081 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 19: There were reports that the UK had only a few 1082 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 19: days of natural gas stoppiles left. That's kind of tragic 1083 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,400 Speaker 19: when you consider the North Sea is a huge natural 1084 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 19: gas supplier, but the North Sea has been blocked because 1085 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 19: of climate concerns, and so they've shut down their North 1086 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 19: Sea operations. So now they're dependent upon this area of 1087 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 19: the world. President Trump's trying to get them to buy 1088 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 19: our natural gas. But I got to think there's got 1089 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,160 Speaker 19: to be a make Britain Great Again movement. 1090 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:37,800 Speaker 2: There's got to be. 1091 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 19: Someone in the UK who's saying England First. And that's 1092 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,840 Speaker 19: what America First means. I don't want to get natural 1093 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 19: gas from anywhere in the world. Considering we have Pennsylvania, Texas, 1094 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 19: the Permian, Alaska. We don't need natural gas or oil 1095 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 19: from anywhere because we have it in an abundance, and 1096 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 19: countries that are energy rich should have the exact same philosophy. 1097 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 19: Sadly they've been taken but by the climate cult and 1098 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 19: that's to their own detriment, economic detriment, and national security detriment. 1099 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 2: I have heard some people speak optimistically that a barrel 1100 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 2: of oil could drop to as low as forty dollars 1101 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 2: a barrel, simply because of the supply that there's quite 1102 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 2: a bit of it. There's a lot of it's still 1103 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 2: floating around in tankers. It's not a matter of not 1104 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 2: having it. It's not. It's out there, it's available now. 1105 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 2: It's a matter of safely getting it to market. But 1106 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 2: now that we control Venezuela and hopefully soon we'll have 1107 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 2: a better control of Iran, that'll sort of choke Russia 1108 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 2: and that we could start to see prices really drop, 1109 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 2: I mean really drop. How optimistic are you that that 1110 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 2: could happen forty dollars a barrel gas? 1111 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,760 Speaker 19: I don't know if that's a realistic number, because at 1112 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 19: a certain point oil becomes unprofitable and people aren't going 1113 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 19: to produce it. So swap out oil for any other 1114 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 19: commodity wouldn't be great. 1115 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 2: If beef was a dollar. 1116 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 19: A pound, you say, yeah, it would be great, But 1117 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 19: no one's making money at a dollar a pound. So 1118 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 19: there's got to be a certain minimum amount that the 1119 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 19: people who produce the product are actually recovering their losses 1120 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 19: because you have to hire personnel and you have to 1121 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 19: buy equipment, and so forty seems a little low. But 1122 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 19: I like the idea to say, as we stabilize the 1123 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 19: world for good, and America is the ultimate force for good, 1124 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:24,960 Speaker 19: we will bring. 1125 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:25,919 Speaker 2: Stable pricing down. 1126 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 19: And that's what happened in Venezuela. That's what's happening in 1127 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 19: the Middle East. I think Russia's next on the table. 1128 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 19: And a stable oil supply controlled by America, which is great, 1129 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 19: is peace, it is prosperity, it is security. I think 1130 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 19: President Trump is playing a strategic game of America dominating 1131 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,960 Speaker 19: the twenty first century in ways very different that we 1132 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 19: dominated the end of the twentieth century. And it is 1133 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 19: things like energy, it is things like AI. It's even 1134 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 19: starting to talk about rare Earth's and this space right 1135 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 19: of the space program, everything he's doing with Elon Musk, 1136 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 19: et cetera, etc. So President Trump has a grand strategy 1137 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,560 Speaker 19: of American dominance of the world. And I'll go back 1138 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 19: to what I said earlier. If you believe America is 1139 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 19: the ultimate force for good, and overwhelmingly we do. I 1140 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,440 Speaker 19: saw a poll that only something like eighteen or twenty 1141 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 19: percent of Democrats believe. 1142 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 2: That says an awful lot about who they are. 1143 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 19: If you believe America's the ultimate force for good, then 1144 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 19: his strategy is just awesome. 1145 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 2: Hey, everybody's trying to save money where they can. If 1146 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 2: you buy your own health insurance or if you're on Obamacare, 1147 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 2: you know how expensive those premiums are getting.

As Adrol Cooper noted last Thursday, 1316 01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:51,200 Speaker 21: we struck and sank an Iranian drone carriership and USCENT 1317 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,759 Speaker 21: comp continues today to hunt and strike mind laying vessels 1318 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,280 Speaker 21: and mind storage facilities. 1319 01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:58,680 Speaker 8: This work will continue. 1320 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:03,480 Speaker 21: Third, against our objectives, We've begun to target around military 1321 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:07,800 Speaker 21: and industrial complex again, focusing on centers of gravity to 1322 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 21: get upstream of the shooters out in the field in 1323 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:15,120 Speaker 21: order to deny them the ability to continue to generate 1324 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,160 Speaker 21: those one way attack drones. Let me spend a minute 1325 01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:23,120 Speaker 21: talking about the Joint Force across the area of responsibility. 1326 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 21: This is gritty and tireless work, and I cannot begin 1327 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 21: to explain how incredibly proud I am of the extraordinary courage, tenacity, 1328 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 21: and grit and professionalism within the Joint Force. Last time 1329 01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 21: I had a chance to talk about the Army's incredible 1330 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,120 Speaker 21: logisticians who are out there sustaining the fight. Today, I 1331 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,920 Speaker 21: want to highlight a few groups of sailors. First, I 1332 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,120 Speaker 21: want to thank the men and women of the Ford 1333 01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,360 Speaker 21: Carrier Strike Group and their families, and let all of 1334 01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 21: them know how grateful I am for their leadership and service. 1335 01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,760 Speaker 21: The crews on board this strike group have already been 1336 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 21: endured months at sea only to get their deployment extended. 1337 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:09,800 Speaker 21: These exceptional Americans, rogered up, all supported by their families, 1338 01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,719 Speaker 21: continue to stand the watch, taking the fight to the enemy. 1339 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,840 Speaker 8: Over and over again, night after night. 1340 01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 21: Aboard ships like the uss Ford and the Abraham Lincoln 1341 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,439 Speaker 21: are a special group of sailors all want to highlight today. 1342 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 21: These are the men and women the sailors up on 1343 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 21: the roof running operations on the flight deck, with an 1344 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 21: average age of the early twenties. These are the unsung 1345 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:39,240 Speaker 21: heroes of naval aviation. These young sailors, known for wearing 1346 01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,280 Speaker 21: yellow shirts, are in charge of the catapults, taxing jets 1347 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,680 Speaker 21: around on the flight deck, shooting jets off the front end, 1348 01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,440 Speaker 21: and recovering jets off the back end. They are literally 1349 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 21: involved with every single movement on the roof on. 1350 01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:55,439 Speaker 8: An aircraft carrier. 1351 01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 21: They are the last ones that naval aviator sees before 1352 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 21: getting shot off the front end, and the first one 1353 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 21: that a naval aviator sees after safely trapping on the 1354 01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 21: back end. And just for a minute, imagine you're standing 1355 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,720 Speaker 21: on that aircraft carrier flight deck. There's thirty knots of 1356 01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 21: wind in your face. The deck is slippery, covered in grease, 1357 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:20,599 Speaker 21: it's noisy. There are propellers spinning, there's jet blast everywhere, 1358 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,879 Speaker 21: the helicopters are running. Your head is on a swivel 1359 01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:28,120 Speaker 21: and You're trying to direct a multi million dollar fighter 1360 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,719 Speaker 21: into a one foot square box so that those naval 1361 01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 21: aviators can be shot off into the black of night 1362 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 21: to go do America's work. 1363 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,000 Speaker 8: Those jets are fully loaded with. 1364 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 21: Missiles and bombs, and they are a world class team 1365 01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,160 Speaker 21: combined with the naval aviation and the aviators. 1366 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 2: And that is that is the Joint Chiefs Chair Dan 1367 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 2: Raisin Kane, painting a powerful picture of just exactly what 1368 01:15:55,280 --> 01:16:01,240 Speaker 2: our heroes are doing and the strategic precision work they're doing. 1369 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,880 Speaker 2: Brief remarks from the Secretary of War followed by the 1370 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:07,400 Speaker 2: Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Raisin Kane, will comb over some 1371 01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,960 Speaker 2: of the things they had to say here. After this 1372 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 2: quick break, let's stay with us. Wanted to jump back 1373 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:19,280 Speaker 2: into the press conference. Dan Raisin Kine, our Joint Chief Chair, 1374 01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 2: as well as the Secretary of War Pete Heggsith are 1375 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,800 Speaker 2: at the podium. They finished their opening remarks, kind of 1376 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,280 Speaker 2: setting the stage for where things stand right now in Iran. 1377 01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 2: Now they're taking some questions from the press, a couple 1378 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 2: of them off the top. While we were away, was 1379 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,799 Speaker 2: on a call with Putin. President Trump spoke with Putin 1380 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 2: yesterday Secretary Higgsyth would not characterize that call or talk 1381 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,720 Speaker 2: about what was said. He also did not speak to 1382 01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 2: He could not confirm whether the Iotola's son, who's now 1383 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,840 Speaker 2: supposedly in charge of things there in Iran, whether he 1384 01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,840 Speaker 2: was in fact injured or not. Didn't confirm that at 1385 01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:52,599 Speaker 2: this time. So we go back to that press conference 1386 01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,000 Speaker 2: where they're taking some media questions. 1387 01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:00,360 Speaker 6: Axius reported, citing US and Israeli sources, that was not 1388 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 6: happy with strikes on thirty fuel depots in Iran. While 1389 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,120 Speaker 6: this is anonymous sourcing, you know, it seems kind of 1390 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,880 Speaker 6: congrumed with what President Trump said yesterday that there's certain 1391 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 6: spots they don't want to want to hit relating to 1392 01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 6: energy infrastructure. 1393 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:17,839 Speaker 8: That would take a long time to rebuild. 1394 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 6: And you know, whether this reporting is sure or not, 1395 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 6: what's your message to Americans, those who supported the president 1396 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 6: and those who aren't really in favor of this ward, 1397 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 6: who worry that Israel might be taking advantage of the 1398 01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 6: US's backing. And then for mister Chairman, for you, I 1399 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 6: wanted to ask, when you say that we're moving inland, 1400 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:45,000 Speaker 6: what capabilities does I brand have to shoot down jets 1401 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,040 Speaker 6: over their land and what that triggers some kind of 1402 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:51,879 Speaker 6: rescue operation that could risk a figure ground operation. 1403 01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 20: Well, I'd just stay by saying Israel's been a really 1404 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 20: strong partner in this effort. Where they have different objectives, 1405 01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,799 Speaker 20: they pursued them. Ultimately we've stayed focused on in ours, 1406 01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,479 Speaker 20: but Iran has felt is the power. 1407 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,120 Speaker 8: Of the world's two most powerful air forces. 1408 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 20: In that particular case, that wasn't our, those weren't our 1409 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:13,720 Speaker 20: strikes or that objective. 1410 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,840 Speaker 8: Or that wasn't our necessarily our objective. 1411 01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 20: But the President has made it clear to those concerns 1412 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,360 Speaker 20: that we're not getting pulled in any direction. 1413 01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:22,920 Speaker 8: We're leading. 1414 01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,559 Speaker 20: The President is leading, He's determining where we want to go, 1415 01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 20: what the outcome will be, what the end state is, with. 1416 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:30,080 Speaker 8: A very keen eye. 1417 01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,400 Speaker 20: And I understand those concerns because I've heard from a 1418 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:34,879 Speaker 20: lot of people who went through I went through. 1419 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:38,080 Speaker 8: Twenty years of those wars, myself, worried. 1420 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 20: About getting dragged in, worried about mission creep, worried about 1421 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:46,559 Speaker 20: nation building or democracy expansion. That's never the perspective the 1422 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:47,880 Speaker 20: President has pursued on. 1423 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:51,799 Speaker 22: This just because previous presidents and previous secretaries have decided 1424 01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:54,599 Speaker 22: to just pour more resources and more people in toward 1425 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,360 Speaker 22: some unguided end state. Doesn't mean that's the way the 1426 01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,719 Speaker 22: world needs to look today. In fact, the American people 1427 01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 22: voted for a different approach, but with the president also stated. 1428 01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 20: From the beginning, Zeron can have a nuclear weapon. And 1429 01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,919 Speaker 20: it's one thing to say. It's easy to say. Anybody 1430 01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,680 Speaker 20: can say that. I mean Barack Obama said that. But 1431 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 20: to do something about it takes courage and resolve. But 1432 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 20: in that courage and in that resolve, you can also 1433 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,680 Speaker 20: be very scoped in what you're trying to execute to 1434 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 20: ensure that the sacrifice of Americans, American treasure, American lives, 1435 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:33,800 Speaker 20: all of those properly meet the objective that you're trying 1436 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,439 Speaker 20: to accomplish. And certainly, as someone I talked out front 1437 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 20: about what the reigns have done. 1438 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,880 Speaker 8: To our generation, yes we're clear eyed about it. But 1439 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 8: my job is to keep it scoped given the director 1440 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 8: to the President to accomplish the mission. Thanks for the question. 1441 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:51,600 Speaker 21: You know, most of their higher end surf stair missile systems. 1442 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,519 Speaker 8: Are not factors at this point in time. 1443 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 21: We're able to move around fighters that are moving deeper 1444 01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,320 Speaker 21: with relative and are you always some risk out there. 1445 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,320 Speaker 8: I don't want to say that there isn't and. 1446 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 21: We'll always maintain and retain capability of doing search and 1447 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 21: rescue type of things. 1448 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,120 Speaker 8: But I don't want to get into the details. But 1449 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 8: thank you for the question. 1450 01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:19,320 Speaker 2: Okay, that's some of it, the energy infrastructure. The question 1451 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,559 Speaker 2: was Israel blowing up some of the oil fields in Iran? 1452 01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,559 Speaker 2: Was that sanctioned by the US? Pete Haggs are effectively 1453 01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 2: saying no, but we're not mad at them. They can 1454 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,679 Speaker 2: do their own thing. We've got our focus, they've got theirs. 1455 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:36,519 Speaker 2: So interesting answer, but again reasserting he's not, they're not. 1456 01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,960 Speaker 2: The President's not being led around by the nose by Israel. 1457 01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,280 Speaker 2: Israel can maybe do its thing, but that doesn't mean 1458 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,880 Speaker 2: that's impacting with the United States mission. So an interesting 1459 01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,840 Speaker 2: perspective there. Eight five five stig all our telephone number 1460 01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 2: PhD Weight Loss helping us get thin, get fit, get 1461 01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,360 Speaker 2: feeling better. In the Maha era between vest Eddie and me, 1462 01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:57,840 Speaker 2: we're now almost you know, we're getting close to eighty 1463 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,639 Speaker 2: pounds down this show. Collectively, I lost over forty last year. 1464 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 2: Fast Eddy's creeping up on forty himself after what has 1465 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:09,280 Speaker 2: just been sixteen seventeen weeks for ed.

This 1467 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:17,800 Speaker 2: is real weight loss, manageable weight loss. This is weight 1468 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,280 Speaker 2: loss that not only you can lose, but keep off. 1469 01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 2: And I'm a testament to it. I've never kept this 1470 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 2: kind of weight off for over a calendar year, and 1471 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 2: I did so thanks to the help of PhD Weight Loss. 1472 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,640 Speaker 2: They're so confident this will work for you. They're going 1473 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,880 Speaker 2: to give it away for two weeks, given you two 1474 01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,040 Speaker 2: weeks free. All you have to do is give him 1475 01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 2: a ring and mentions to gaul when you call eight 1476 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 2: six four six four four nineteen hundred or myphdweightloss dot com. 1477 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,559 Speaker 2: All right, Pete heggsith in the Joint Chief's chair, just 1478 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 2: wrapping things up a little while ago, and some of 1479 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 2: the things they had to say. Heigs has said, this 1480 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:54,360 Speaker 2: is the most intense strikes yet today those will come 1481 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,599 Speaker 2: the most intense strikes yet. They said, Iran is firing 1482 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:03,760 Speaker 2: the lowest numbers of missiles. Yet. They said that our 1483 01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 2: generation of soldier and this president will not allow the 1484 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:14,400 Speaker 2: quagmires of the Bush and Obama era. They said that 1485 01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:17,639 Speaker 2: they paid tribute to the fallen soldiers who came back 1486 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,280 Speaker 2: home to Dover with their families yesterday, which I thought 1487 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 2: was a wonderful gesture. Of course, they said their three 1488 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,680 Speaker 2: goals continue to be the same, though, and that is 1489 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 2: to destroy missiles and drone capacity, that is, to destroy 1490 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:36,680 Speaker 2: stockpiles and launch strikes destroy their navy. And they've done so, 1491 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:41,599 Speaker 2: and they're doing so with devastating effect. More than five 1492 01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 2: thousand targets have been hit thus far. They say they 1493 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,799 Speaker 2: are ninety they're seeing a ninety percent decrease from Iran 1494 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,240 Speaker 2: in ballistic missile firing and eighty two percent decrease in 1495 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 2: drone attacks. Fifty ships of the Iranian navy have been destroyed, 1496 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:01,479 Speaker 2: so reaffirming that these strikes led by President Trump are 1497 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:05,640 Speaker 2: devastatingly effective thus far. President Trump, they all seized on 1498 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 2: his comment yesterday. By the way, just for those of 1499 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:09,600 Speaker 2: you just joining us and missed this earlier, give me 1500 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,639 Speaker 2: number ninety nine if you would quickly gee, then we'll 1501 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:14,599 Speaker 2: go to Steve Moore, our chief economist. President Trump saying 1502 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,360 Speaker 2: yesterday the word soon, and all media picking up on 1503 01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 2: that soon. Take a listen number ninety nine. 1504 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:21,400 Speaker 1: Are you thinking this week it will be over? 1505 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,160 Speaker 8: To talk some days I think so okay and with 1506 01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:25,080 Speaker 8: respect very soon. 1507 01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 7: Look, everything they have is gone, including their leadership. In fact, 1508 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 7: they have two levels of leadership, and even actually, as 1509 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,519 Speaker 7: it turns out, more than that, but two levels of 1510 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,759 Speaker 7: leadership are gone. Most people have never even heard about 1511 01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:43,280 Speaker 7: the leaders that they're talking about. So it's obviously been very, 1512 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 7: very powerful, very effective. 1513 01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:50,879 Speaker 2: So we have seen the oil markets start to backslide 1514 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,720 Speaker 2: a little bit. That's good, but gas prices at the 1515 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 2: pump right now are up. They'll come down. We talked 1516 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,760 Speaker 2: a little about that earlier with Daniel Turner. We bring 1517 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 2: in Steve Moore, our chief economist. We talk with them 1518 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,640 Speaker 2: every Tuesday over there at the Committee to un Leash Prosperity. 1519 01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 2: The Hotline newsletter shows up for free in your email 1520 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:06,760 Speaker 2: box if you get signed up at the Committee to 1521 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,799 Speaker 2: on Leash Prosperity. So Steve O we talked about it earlier. 1522 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 2: People seeing roughly a dollar ish maybe in some markets 1523 01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 2: they're upticket to pump. Most of us understand it's not 1524 01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,920 Speaker 2: going to be long term, but it is short term. 1525 01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,639 Speaker 2: It's not a lack of oil. There's apparently plenty of floating. 1526 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,280 Speaker 2: It's just not coming through the strait. Yet what does 1527 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 2: this do in the short term? I think that's my 1528 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 2: question for you is we've seen the markets backslide a 1529 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 2: little bit too, Stevo, but now they're kind of the 1530 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,840 Speaker 2: pre market levels are up. So what do you see? 1531 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:35,960 Speaker 2: How does all this hit? 1532 01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 3: I wish I knew, and I could make a lot 1533 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:40,439 Speaker 3: of money if I knew exactly what was going to happen. 1534 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 3: But you're right. So the gas oil price was at 1535 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,479 Speaker 3: about fifty five dollars a barrow before the Iran strike, 1536 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,960 Speaker 3: and then it rose to about seventy five dollars a barrel, 1537 01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,599 Speaker 3: and then over the weekend, Chris, it briefly went over 1538 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 3: one hundred dollars a barrel, as the Straits of Hermeuse 1539 01:24:56,360 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 3: and all the oil that flows through there was basically 1540 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 3: blockaded because of the risk of sending ships through that 1541 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 3: major port where all the Saudi Arabian oil and Middle 1542 01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:12,800 Speaker 3: East oil flows through. And so then starting yesterday afternoon, 1543 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 3: the price of oil fell substantially too, as low as 1544 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,320 Speaker 3: eighty dollars a barrel, which is where we are right now. 1545 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 3: That's the equivalent Chris, of about four dollars a gallon gas. 1546 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:29,080 Speaker 3: Now I anticipate, and Trump has said this many times, 1547 01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,200 Speaker 3: and I believe he is true that we're going to 1548 01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 3: see for the next couple of weeks maybe the oil 1549 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,600 Speaker 3: price at that level. And then as we start to 1550 01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 3: see these disruptions and the global oil supply chains reduced, 1551 01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,080 Speaker 3: I think you'll see oil flow right back down to 1552 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 3: the you know, the three dollars range that we were 1553 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,760 Speaker 3: seeing a few months ago. So this is this is 1554 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,320 Speaker 3: good news. Who knows what the future holds for the 1555 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,880 Speaker 3: conflict in the Middle East, but I'm super optimistic. And 1556 01:25:57,920 --> 01:25:59,920 Speaker 3: I want to make other quick couple of points on 1557 01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,559 Speaker 3: because I just wrote a hotline item just before coming 1558 01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 3: on the show about the energy markets that I think 1559 01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:09,360 Speaker 3: your listeners need and viewers need to understand. Number One, 1560 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,400 Speaker 3: do you know what country Chris is the nomer on 1561 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:14,240 Speaker 3: producer of oil and gas in the world? 1562 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:19,120 Speaker 2: Oh wow, you know I would have is it he Ron? 1563 01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:19,800 Speaker 2: I would have fit? 1564 01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 3: Or it's the United City or America. We are we 1565 01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 3: doing now that we are now producing more oil and 1566 01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 3: gas than any other country in the world. In fact, 1567 01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,799 Speaker 3: this even surprised me. The oil we are a net 1568 01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,599 Speaker 3: exporter of oil and gas. Now we on net we 1569 01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 3: export more than we import. So this is a real kick. 1570 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,679 Speaker 2: Okay, let me dumb this down for a dumb guy 1571 01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 2: like me. If people hear you say, all right, we're 1572 01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 2: pumping oil like crazy, then why the heck? Or we 1573 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:48,360 Speaker 2: held hostage to the straits of horror moves. 1574 01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, great question. And the answer to that is because 1575 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 3: there was a there was a global oil price. It's 1576 01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 3: not a it's not a price country by country, and 1577 01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 3: that global oil price is dick hated by the total 1578 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 3: you know, this is economics one hundred, right, the total 1579 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 3: supply of oil that's being produced everywhere and this total 1580 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,919 Speaker 3: demand of oil everywhere. And so even though we continue 1581 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,040 Speaker 3: to produce a lot of oil, when you have a 1582 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:16,599 Speaker 3: disruption in the Middle East like we've just seen, Chris, 1583 01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 3: what that means is that you start to see, you know, 1584 01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:24,200 Speaker 3: increases in the price here at home, because the companies 1585 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:28,200 Speaker 3: are selling it wherever they can command the higher price. 1586 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,719 Speaker 3: And that's why I believe as the Middle East oil 1587 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,880 Speaker 3: comes back online, that will reduce global prices, will price 1588 01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,519 Speaker 3: reduce the prices we pay here in the United States. 1589 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,760 Speaker 2: So for instance, this morning, I saw gas at the 1590 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,719 Speaker 2: station closest to my house. Jump. I mean, I won't 1591 01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,240 Speaker 2: say a dollar, but it was a lot. Yeah, overnight. 1592 01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,400 Speaker 2: People get very suspicious of that, say, what's that? How 1593 01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 2: do you explain that? Why does that happen? Why does 1594 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,880 Speaker 2: a gas station jump a dollar overnight? Oh? 1595 01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 3: Because, good question. There's something there's something called the replacement cost. So, 1596 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,800 Speaker 3: in other words, a lot of these these gas stations 1597 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 3: they filled their tanks, you know, a few weeks ago 1598 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,439 Speaker 3: with all the oil, which at that time was selling 1599 01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,400 Speaker 3: at fifty dollars. Now it's selling at seventy five. They're 1600 01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 3: not going to sell it to you at the you know, 1601 01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,519 Speaker 3: at the previous price. They're going to pay, sell it 1602 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,200 Speaker 3: to you at the price now that they would have 1603 01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 3: to replace it with. And that's why the price of 1604 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,040 Speaker 3: oil has jumped up. What did you pay at the 1605 01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:29,840 Speaker 3: gas pump? I just say it. 1606 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 2: Another way, the gas that you're pumping into your car 1607 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:37,559 Speaker 2: this morning, when they're already anticipating when they fill up 1608 01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,560 Speaker 2: their underground tanks, they're going to have to pay a 1609 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,280 Speaker 2: lot more. So they're charging us now. 1610 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,800 Speaker 3: For what theyicipate they're going to have to pay. That's 1611 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,000 Speaker 3: exactly right, and that's what's happening. And that means when 1612 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 3: the price starts to fall globally, you're going to see 1613 01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:52,800 Speaker 3: the price fall here at home. I hope this only 1614 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,240 Speaker 3: lasts a couple of weeks. Who knows, you know, We've 1615 01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:57,800 Speaker 3: got a lot of experience. I mean, Chris, I'm an 1616 01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:00,559 Speaker 3: old guy. I remember in the late seventies, you know, 1617 01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,559 Speaker 3: when I was a teenager and we would we would 1618 01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 3: in Chicago. We'd have to pack up and my dad's 1619 01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,680 Speaker 3: station wagon. A lot of this was don't even know 1620 01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 3: what a station wagon was. And we would we would 1621 01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 3: drive to the gas station. We'd be like fifth in 1622 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:18,120 Speaker 3: line to get gasoline, and then we'd be paying these 1623 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 3: outrageous prices. So, you know, God forbid that we're going 1624 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,639 Speaker 3: to ever see anything like that before. And I want 1625 01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,360 Speaker 3: to go back to a point I made earlier. The 1626 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 3: best solution to this, Chris, what is the most important 1627 01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:31,280 Speaker 3: thing we can do right now? Obviously, try to try 1628 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,720 Speaker 3: to resolve the Iran crisis as quickly as we can. 1629 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:36,280 Speaker 3: It looks like Trump is doing that. But the other 1630 01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:39,280 Speaker 3: thing is drill as much oil as we can here 1631 01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,679 Speaker 3: at home, so we are not dependent on Middle East oil, 1632 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,360 Speaker 3: and that's exactly what Trump is doing. Can you imagine 1633 01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:47,680 Speaker 3: how much we'd be paying for gasoline today. If if 1634 01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:50,400 Speaker 3: Biden were president with his war on American oil, we'd 1635 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:51,839 Speaker 3: be paying eight dollars a gallon. 1636 01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 2: You're an AI guy, I know you're a big believer 1637 01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,519 Speaker 2: in it. That requires a lot more electricity. Elon Musk, 1638 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:01,439 Speaker 2: I was going to askanel Turner about this last tower. 1639 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,519 Speaker 2: Elon Musk says, it's electric, baby, It's all electric. We're 1640 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:06,479 Speaker 2: going electric and people may not know it, but that's 1641 01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:08,920 Speaker 2: the future. Yeah, where are you on that? You think 1642 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 2: we're going to be less dependent on oil? He says, 1643 01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:13,559 Speaker 2: China already is and becoming less so all the time, 1644 01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:15,040 Speaker 2: and that we should just go ahead and embrace the 1645 01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 2: idea that we're going to need more electricity, which still 1646 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 2: needs fuel, by the way, But are you bullish on 1647 01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,920 Speaker 2: electric in the future unless oil needs in general? 1648 01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:26,479 Speaker 3: I think we're going to need both. I think we're 1649 01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 3: definitely going to need both. And it is true that 1650 01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 3: our electricity demands are going to double and triple over 1651 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:35,320 Speaker 3: the next twelve to fifteen years. Double the triple, and 1652 01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:39,160 Speaker 3: that's because these data centers use enormous amounts of energy. 1653 01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,679 Speaker 3: G robotics uses a lot AI. I'm very excited about 1654 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,040 Speaker 3: the future of this. I know people are nervous about AI, 1655 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,840 Speaker 3: but we're going to see incredible product. I mean, in 1656 01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:49,799 Speaker 3: ten years, we're all going to have our own personal 1657 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 3: robot Chris. 1658 01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:53,479 Speaker 2: They'll do whatever we want for us. So we got 1659 01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:55,759 Speaker 2: to plug them in exactly. 1660 01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:57,800 Speaker 3: And they're gonna use a lot of electricity. By the way, 1661 01:30:58,080 --> 01:30:59,800 Speaker 3: I know we're run on time. Do you know what 1662 01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:01,880 Speaker 3: is the number one source of electric power in the 1663 01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:02,559 Speaker 3: United States? 1664 01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,040 Speaker 2: Fifty percent? Like half of it's coal? Is it not 1665 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:08,000 Speaker 2: quite coal anymore? 1666 01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:11,559 Speaker 3: It used to be coal, used to be number one. 1667 01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 3: Now it's about thirty three percent. The biggest source of 1668 01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:18,880 Speaker 3: our electric power comes from natural gas, which we have 1669 01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 3: an abundant of, and it's clean burning. So we got 1670 01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 3: that's part of the drill, baby, drill strategy. And I 1671 01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:26,280 Speaker 3: simply say, I think this is going to be over 1672 01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 3: in about a month or two, and we'll have big 1673 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,040 Speaker 3: gains in terms of the safety and prosperity of the world, 1674 01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:34,479 Speaker 3: and we'll have following gas prices. 1675 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:38,400 Speaker 2: That's my prediction. And just briefly, like thirty seconds, the 1676 01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:41,280 Speaker 2: market's slipped down to like forty seven. It had christed fifty. 1677 01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 2: Do you anticipate it a return and then grow in 1678 01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 2: this coming year. 1679 01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:48,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm super bullish. And you know, obviously a lot 1680 01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:51,479 Speaker 3: of this depends on what happens in the Middle East. 1681 01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,320 Speaker 3: And you know, you use the word quagmire. I think 1682 01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:56,760 Speaker 3: Pete Texas says this won't be a quagmire. I pray 1683 01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:58,360 Speaker 3: that that's right. Let's get this over with. 1684 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,160 Speaker 2: The most win baby economist we yeah, win, maybe win, 1685 01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 2: drill baby, drill more. Thank you, my friend. Great to 1686 01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:09,200 Speaker 2: hear from you, Chris, have a great guy.

Quick break 1692 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,800 Speaker 2: here back in a minute A listing all show. I 1693 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:30,120 Speaker 2: don't know if you're a gambler or not. The betting markets. 1694 01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 2: There's an app out there. I actually have this on 1695 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:33,840 Speaker 2: my phone just because I find it interesting from time 1696 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,200 Speaker 2: to time to go watch what people are taking bets on. 1697 01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,040 Speaker 2: And there are, but you can bet on just any 1698 01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:41,559 Speaker 2: inane thing you want. For instance, a few weeks ago, 1699 01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:45,839 Speaker 2: you could have bet on who would be the first 1700 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 2: person to leave Trump's cabinet, to be outright fired, to 1701 01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:54,680 Speaker 2: leave and truth be told. Originally, I thought to myself, 1702 01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,360 Speaker 2: I would put some money down on Christy Nome or Pambondi, 1703 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,080 Speaker 2: just simply because the public perception of the two of 1704 01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:04,400 Speaker 2: those people had been so unpopular. I was actually teeing, 1705 01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:07,880 Speaker 2: playing with the idea just for fun. And then you 1706 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:09,400 Speaker 2: know they've got the odds, and you know, you put 1707 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:10,720 Speaker 2: the money down, and then it tells you what it 1708 01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:12,320 Speaker 2: would pay out if you put so much money down 1709 01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:14,960 Speaker 2: or whatever. Truth of the matter is, though Trump has 1710 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:19,759 Speaker 2: never really fired anybody. He's moving them around, so technically 1711 01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,439 Speaker 2: he's not fired them. They haven't left the cabinet, so 1712 01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:24,400 Speaker 2: even if you'd bet on Christynome, that wouldn't have worked. 1713 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:29,360 Speaker 2: It's on this betting app called Calshi Klshi, which I 1714 01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,080 Speaker 2: check out from time to time just because I find 1715 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:39,599 Speaker 2: it interesting. Well, Calshie also was entertaining bets on taking 1716 01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:44,280 Speaker 2: out the Ayatola and from box business, the prediction market. 1717 01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:48,560 Speaker 2: Calshi is now being sued for fifty four million dollars 1718 01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:53,400 Speaker 2: over something called a death carve out fifty four million 1719 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,679 Speaker 2: dollar class action lawsuit after traders accused the prediction market 1720 01:33:56,680 --> 01:34:00,439 Speaker 2: have invoking something called a death carve out clause to 1721 01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 2: avoid paying bets tied to the killing of the Supreme 1722 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:08,280 Speaker 2: leader of Iran. Calci was sued in federal court late 1723 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:12,960 Speaker 2: last week over contracts that asked whether Ayatola Kameni would 1724 01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:18,120 Speaker 2: have left office before March first, twenty twenty six. He was, 1725 01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:23,320 Speaker 2: of course, killed last week. The lawsuit says customers were 1726 01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,640 Speaker 2: drawn to what it calls the Komeni market because of 1727 01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:30,840 Speaker 2: the shifting geopolitical situation with Iran's leadership. It alleges that 1728 01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:34,599 Speaker 2: after Komeni was killed, Calci invoked their death carve out 1729 01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:39,400 Speaker 2: provision to avoid paying customers what they were owed quote. 1730 01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:42,680 Speaker 2: With an American naval armada amassed on Iran's doorstep and 1731 01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 2: military conflict not merely foreseeable but widely anticipated, consumers understood 1732 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,040 Speaker 2: that the most likely, and in many cases, the only 1733 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,160 Speaker 2: realistic mechanism by which an eighty five year old Autocrat 1734 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:56,759 Speaker 2: leader would leave office was through death. The lawsuit states 1735 01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:02,960 Speaker 2: defendants understood this as well, argues the contract language was clear, unambiguous, 1736 01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:07,799 Speaker 2: and binary, and accuses Calci of deceptive and predatory content. 1737 01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:12,360 Speaker 2: So Calci says, when would you like to bet the 1738 01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:16,720 Speaker 2: Ayatola leaves office and a bunch of people poured a 1739 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,519 Speaker 2: bunch of money into a date certain then he was killed, 1740 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:21,880 Speaker 2: and Calci said, well, we didn't say when would he 1741 01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:26,400 Speaker 2: be killed? We said when would he leave? So they're 1742 01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:30,120 Speaker 2: trying to get around not paying the pet fifty four. 1743 01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:32,599 Speaker 2: Be careful out there, kids. I tell my kids all 1744 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:35,240 Speaker 2: the time on these betting apps, there's nothing that says 1745 01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:36,720 Speaker 2: they're going to pay it out. It may look like 1746 01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:38,479 Speaker 2: quick money, but you may end up fighting for a 1747 01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,400 Speaker 2: while over it. Before we wrap, I want to thank 1748 01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:44,800 Speaker 2: you in advance for your charitable giving thus far. You 1749 01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,160 Speaker 2: are the most generous and we are so grateful to 1750 01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:49,640 Speaker 2: you for your support of our friends at Food for 1751 01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 2: the Poor.

They stretch 1762 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,200 Speaker 2: a dollar like you wouldn't believe. Do you know fifty 1763 01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:28,800 Speaker 2: dollars gets drinking water to two kids for an entire year. 1764 01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 2: Go to my website Christigall dot com.
