1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Well, the media wants answer is about the military strikes

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: in Iran. After all, it's been three days, when's it

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: going to be over? It's just amazing to watch them

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: do their job, isn't it? And it's amazing to watch

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: certain politicians handle them so very deftly. CNN tried to

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: nail John Fetterman down and get him to criticize Trump,

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: criticize the military, criticize Israel. He was having none of it.

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: And we will get to that story in just sixty seconds.

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: But first, some important information from our sponsor. Because we

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: talk about big government programs a lot here. They get

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: so complicated that they stop serving you the people, And

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: for Medicare enrolies, it's a textbook case. You turn sixty

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: five and instead of clarity, you get a stack of rules, deadlines,

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: and plan options with real consequences if you guess wrong.

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: And when the system is this confusing, creates an opening

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: for nefarious people to steer you toward plans that benefit

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: them and not you. That's why I point people, including

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: my own mother, to chapter chapter does Medicare differently? Their

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: advisors are salaried, so they're not paid to push one

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: plan over another. In fact, they're the only ones that

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: actually compares every plan available nationwide, not just to select few.

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: There's no cost to speak with them, and they can

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: usually walk you through your options in about twenty minutes.

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: On average, people who talk to Chapter save around eleven

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year. Listen, if you're turning sixty five,

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: or if you're already on Medicare, call Chapter five azho

27
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: three oh eight zero nine seven to five. That's five

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: A do oh three o eight zero nine seven five. Honestly,

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: aside from watching this show, I can't think of a

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: better use of twenty minutes. Okay, now back to the video.

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: John Kennedy from Louisiana fan favorite here on this program. Uh,

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: he had some colorful language regarding the military strikes.

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: We're fighting another country, a powerful country, ninety million people.

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: But here's what I see. I see a country that

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: is run by Jack Nicholson in the shining. These are

36
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: religious zealots. If you don't agree with their version of Islam,

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: you have to die. I see a bunch of religious

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: zelots who are determined to get a nuclear warhead. They're

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: never going to stop. I see religious zealots running a

40
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: country that even after we bomb their nuclear facilities in June,

41
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: they've already started back and they've lied about it. I

42
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: see a powerful country that's amassing anywhere from two hundred

43
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: to six hundred missiles a month a month, so that

44
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: eventually they'll have enough missiles to threaten the whole world

45
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: and prevent us from doing something about their nuclear capability.

46
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: I see a powerful country of religious elits at the

47
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: leadership level, who, if they get a nuclear weapon, will

48
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: use I think that's what the American people see. I

49
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: think that's what President Trump saw. I think he did

50
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: the right thing.

51
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: All right. And then last night on Fox News with

52
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, he was specifically asked about the Ayatola Manie

53
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, by the way, Mayor's Mamdani of New York.

54
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: He was asked a real simple question about where he

55
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: stands on the war. It was super simple. Are the

56
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: people have around better off without the Ayatola as their

57
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: supreme leader? He couldn't actually answer that question. And by

58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: the way, if you can't give an unequivocal answer to

59
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: a simple question like that, you have in fact given

60
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: us your answer.

61
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 3: Now.

62
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Senator Kennedy asked about the Ayatola. He didn't go for Mamdani,

63
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: not even close.

64
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: In the words of Congresswoman Omar, I love you like

65
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: a brother, and and I want you to understand, I'm

66
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: not trying to dodge your question. I just want to

67
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: answer it in a little different way. I don't hate anyone,

68
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: but I will shed no tears for the IYATOLICAMENI he

69
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: won the corn toss and he elected to receive, and

70
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: boy did he receive. May he rest in pieces? He

71
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: died with the with with the with the bud of

72
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: millions of people under his fingernails.

73
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: What.

74
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot to unpack there and enjoy. But I

75
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: think the best part was read at the beginning.

76
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: Sean, in the words of Congresswoman Omar, I love you

77
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: like a brother.

78
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh oh no, he didn't. Yes he did. Yes, he

79
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: won the coin toss and he elected to receive. That's

80
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: a good one too. I might have to use it

81
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: all right. Meanwhile, another senator, this one from Florida, Rick Scott,

82
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: walking through I believe the security ropes there at the

83
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: Rayburn Building, I want to say in the Senate anyway,

84
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: he was confronted by the very well funded by communists

85
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: in China activist group Code Pink, and well he handled

86
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: them pretty well.

87
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 5: Watch in a war with Iran because they are building

88
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: missiles and wanted.

89
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: To kill all of us.

90
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: They went to kill us. The US intelligence said that

91
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: there was no threat from Iran. That's not true. Iran

92
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: wanted to kill us. Have you known all of the

93
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 3: news they put out all the time. Yeah, well saying

94
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: something like that, and actually do they building weapons and

95
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: trying to build nuker weapons?

96
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: They want to destroy America and we shouldn't take them seriously.

97
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: They were attacked by are you they were attacked by

98
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: the US? Is we were negotiating? You think that it's

99
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: okay for people to say they want to destroy us,

100
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: and it's okay we should just ignore that as long

101
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: as they're not doing anything. They're doing anything. You know what,

102
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: there's a lot of America remember nine when we overthrew

103
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: their electric government and do you know Democratic Democratic three

104
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: most of it? And do you know twice the US

105
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: was negotiating and then went head embalmment during negotiations. Oh

106
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: my god, he's so awful.

107
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: Her name is Medea Benjamin, by the way, and she's

108
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: been doing this since I believe two thousand and two.

109
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: This is her job and she makes a lot of

110
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: money doing it. The conversion rate from Beijing to the

111
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: US dollar is not always that favorable, but I do

112
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: love Forgott. Senator Rick Scott has just sort of set

113
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: the bar for how every single senator should deal with

114
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Medea Benjamin as she asks on behalf of code Pink

115
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: for her social media platforms. Questions like that. Rick Scott

116
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: summed it up perfectly. How dumb are you? That's all

117
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: That's all they can That's all you need to say.

118
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I know you're not supposed to answer a question with

119
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: the question, but that is the only question to ask

120
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Code Pink, how dumb are you? And by the way,

121
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: John Fetterman could have done that with his CNN interview

122
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: watch how this went as CNN is just outraged at

123
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: the fact that John Fetterman has a moral compass and

124
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: actually isn't going to trash our military, trash our mission

125
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: against Iran, trash the Trump administration, or for that matter,

126
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: trash Israel. John Fetterman, Ladies and gentlemen, So.

127
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: The israelly Defense Minister. I asked that because these really

128
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: Defense Minister posted today that every leader appointed by the

129
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 4: Iranian terror regime to continue and lead the plan to

130
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: destroy Israel, to threaten the United States and the free

131
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: world in the countries of the region, and to suppress

132
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 4: the running people. He writes, every leader appointed by the

133
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: Iranian regime will be an unequivocal target for elimination. That's

134
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: going forward. So that is a US goal going forward.

135
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, just keep killing, killing until they're till they're gone.

136
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: I mean absolutely, I saw that. I've read that that

137
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 5: they're going to target who they ever elect to be

138
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 5: their next leader and kill them. Absolutely, I fully support it.

139
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 5: So that's that's what's entirely appropriate. Now they have to decide,

140
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: are we going to continue for a choose now peace

141
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 5: and or now we're going to try to destroy Israel.

142
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 5: They really don't have those capabilities at this point. It's

143
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: empty rhetoric because we all know that Iran is able

144
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 5: to really project the kinds of damage of it.

145
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 4: So then who decides what leader should lead Iran? Then

146
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: if you think that the United States should take part

147
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: in taking out every leader going forward, if it doesn't

148
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: meet the right measure.

149
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: Well, by the way, first of all, I just love

150
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: how plat spoken it is like, are you okay with

151
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: killing the person that they were going to make the

152
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: next Supreme leader? It's like absolutely, let me. Let me

153
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: just shorthand this for you again from an American's perspective.

154
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: And I know this may sound naive, but I don't

155
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: think now that we're engaged militarily and it appears as

156
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: though we might have something to say about the next

157
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: government in Iran. Again, we're not in charge of regime change,

158
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: but since we've lost lives here, and since we're you know,

159
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: spending quite a bit of our treasure and our military

160
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: force in ensuring that the people of Iran have the

161
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to turn the page here on the totalitarian theocracy

162
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: they've had, maybe we have a bit of a say

163
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: in who the next guys are. And I have a

164
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: humble suggestion, maybe we do away with the whole office

165
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: of Supreme Leader. Maybe just a humble thought, but maybe

166
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: the constitution of Iran needs to be modified a bit,

167
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: if they even have one where they no longer have

168
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: the position of Supreme leader where a guy with a

169
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: turban gets to say that God told him that you

170
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: should be murdered if you're a woman and you let

171
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: your hair slip out of a head scarf. Okay, just

172
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: a humble suggestion from those of us over here who

173
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: are helping to liberate the people of Iran from this tyranny.

174
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: It seems to me that if they keep getting together

175
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: to try to elect the next authoritarian, theocre' at who's

176
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: going to rule without question, without election as the supreme leader,

177
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: maybe they haven't gotten the message quite yet. We ain't

178
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna play that anymore. And the world may scream imperialism

179
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: and who are we to judge? And who are we

180
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: to say? But you know what, I'll answer that question

181
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: because I'm not an elected official and I don't have

182
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: to worry about politics. Who are we to say? We're

183
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: the guys who just dropped rockets on your head. That's

184
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: who we are. And the other countries may not say

185
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: it out loud, and all the presidents who followed Donald

186
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: Trump for the next several decades may not say it

187
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: out loud, but the fact of the matter is all

188
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: of them, the current leadership on the planet and the

189
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: future presidents of the United States who will sit in

190
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: the Oval Office for the next several decades, they are

191
00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: all grateful that this was done, and it will only

192
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: be a success if Iran has a path forward that

193
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: doesn't include a supreme leader. So I just love that.

194
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: That's like wow, I mean, then how many do you

195
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: get Well, if they keep getting together and saying we're

196
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: just going to replace the last Ayatola with the new

197
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: version of the Ayatola, we're going to have a problem here.

198
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: And Fetterman gets it.

199
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, hey, I'm sorry. I I absolutely I

200
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,359
Speaker 5: support killing you know, the leadership of the Iranian Absolutely,

201
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: I absolutely support that. I think that's entirely appropriate until

202
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 5: hopefully they'll pick someone that realizes that they need to

203
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 5: live and coexist in peace in the region and stop

204
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 5: trying to destroy Israel and destabilize the region.

205
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: Senator John Fetterman, thank you for your time.

206
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 5: If anyone you know, that's another thing Democrats say, no

207
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 5: one will, no one will mourn the death of the Ayatola. Well, yeah,

208
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 5: so that that's just another way saying it's a good

209
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 5: thing that he's been killed. Right, you know, I'll call

210
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 5: it what it is. I won't say well, I won't

211
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 5: wait for him. You know, let's just call it what

212
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: it is. It's like, it's a good thing that he's

213
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: been erased now and then if.

214
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: They pick another one, I think democrats democrats. I hear

215
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: your point, but I have had every Democrat who's been

216
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 4: on this show that I've heard is having two thoughts

217
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 4: in their head at once, which is it is good

218
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: to have the Ayatola gone. But they do not agree

219
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: and do not understand the justification of going in now

220
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 4: with this war at this moment. Those That is the

221
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: distinction I've heard from other Democrats on the show. But

222
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: we are now out of time. Senator, thank you for

223
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: your time.

224
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: Allow me to have the last word and speak on

225
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: behalf of Democrats, she says to a Democrat. But you

226
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: know CNN has to do that. Ive CNN, the anchor

227
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: teleprompter reader at CNN has to make sure that their

228
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: viewers know the perspective of all the other Democrats in

229
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: the Senate. Without allowing John Fetterman to respond to it,

230
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: WHI this segment would not be complete. And who's there

231
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: to speak for Democrats? Well, certainly not the elected democrat

232
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: they brought in. No, no, no, the anchor who reached

233
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: the teleprompter, she'll be the one to speak on behalf

234
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: of the party. It's beautiful how that plays out, isn't it.

235
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: The Vetterman's one hundred percent right. Oh oh, they can

236
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: have two thoughts at the same time. It's good to

237
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: get rid of the diatola, but Trump is worse. Those

238
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: are the two thoughts they have at the same time.

239
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: That said, and again, listen, my editorial position on this,

240
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: and most of my colleagues editorial position on this, has

241
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: been incredibly enthusiastic and supportive of the military strikes. And

242
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: yet at the same time, it's funny. You know, for decades,

243
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: Democrats were haunted by the Vietnam War. I think mostly

244
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: because it was their guy Land and B. Johnson who

245
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: created such a nightmare at the Vietnam War, and so

246
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: every single military involved that the United States had really

247
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: up through the Iraq Afghanistan engagements in the two early

248
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: two thousands, every single thing was, Oh, it's going to

249
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: be another Vietnam. It's going to be another Vietnam. It's

250
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: going to be another Vietnam. And I get it. I

251
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: understand why they felt shameful about Vietnam because Democrats were

252
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: horrific during Vietnam. LBJ was a terrible commander in chief.

253
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: He allowed for way too many American soldiers to be

254
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: killed over there in country. Democrats here who were about

255
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: to be drafted decided to flee to Canada and allow

256
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: good patriotic Americans to get drafted and fight that war.

257
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Carter gets in and gives a free

258
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: pass and amnesty to everybody who fled the draft and

259
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: lived in another country. And oh, let's not forget that

260
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: it was democrats. After Nixon and Kissinger had negotiated a

261
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: peace in Vietnam and promised the people of Vietnam that

262
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: if the viet com came in and broke the peace treaty,

263
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: we'd be there to help them. They did under President

264
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: Gerald Ford, and Congress refused to allow Ford to send

265
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: the military over. So, yeah, they should have felt guilty

266
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: about Vietnam for decades. But now here we are in

267
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: everyone in Washington, d c. The second a jet flies

268
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: and drops a bomb or a rocket is shot from

269
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: one of those beautiful submarines we've got, they immediately say,

270
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: it's a forever war. It's a forever war. It's a

271
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: forever war.

272
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: This is awful.

273
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: It's Afghanistan, it's a raq. And I don't mean to mock,

274
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: I really don't because trust me, I have held the

275
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: hands of too many people who have lost their loved

276
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: ones in those forever wars. I have interviewed too many

277
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: forever altered and injured veterans of those wars, who lost limbs,

278
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: who were suffering from traumatic brain injury, and still wake

279
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night in horror and terror,

280
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: mostly because of Iranians, by the way, in those forever wars.

281
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: So I get that, I do. One can be wary

282
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: of walking down that path again and knowing that elected

283
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: officials and people in power were not completely, if even partially,

284
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: truthful with us as they led us into war. One

285
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: can be wary of that and skeptical of that, yet

286
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: at the same time support this effort right now as

287
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: the conclusion of forty seven years of tyranny, because if

288
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: you really care about the loss of life American lives

289
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: and limbs in those forever wars, then you know who

290
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: was mostly responsible for that, the Iranians. So we can

291
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: be hesitant and skeptical and challenge the political narrative that

292
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: is being pushed at us over this military involvement in

293
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: the Middle East, and at the same time be supportive

294
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: of it as long as it deserves our support, and

295
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: I will wrap it up then with the thoughts of

296
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: this man, one of our favorites, Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee,

297
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: who was asked specifically kind of about the same question.

298
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: Of course, it's all framed within you know a couple

299
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: of podcasters that have big platforms, who most of the

300
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: people in the media ridicule, mock deride. They hate these

301
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: podcasters and these streaming journalists, except the second they say

302
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: something that might be critical of President Trumper's policies, they

303
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: hold these very same podcasters and video streamers up as

304
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: if they are, you know, the pope. They said this,

305
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: so you must respond to it. Right that said, you

306
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: see this question being asked all over the place. Is

307
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: this going to split the magabas? Is this going to

308
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: erode trump'st amongst conservatives in the MAGA base that loves

309
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: the podcasters and the streamers. What will you do? They

310
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: ask that all the time because that's exactly what they

311
