It's the Alex Marlowe Show. 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.440 The Alex marlow Show, and I'm glad you're here. We've 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.440 got a busy one today. We're going to get into 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.920 the latest on the SPLC, which has been revealed to 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.919 be a AstroTurf organization funding all sorts of far right violence. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.960 I've got some more updates on the Virginia referendum that 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.960 would redistrict the state to benefit Democrat that is highly 0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:59.360 illegal and should be overturned. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.040 It gives you some up to It's there, some more 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.160 well cap the content. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.959 I've got a crazy Hassan Piker clip for you the 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.240 Democrats News Star. But first we're back at it. We're 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.840 back at it with a update from the Iran War, 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:12.880 the biggest story of the day, and we'll start with 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.800 the president of the United States, who, I might add, 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.320 decided yesterday to promote the book Breaking the Law. Very strange, 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.400 so Donald Trump endorsed the book. He gave me the 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.399 most unbelievable endorsement, my third book New York Times bestseller 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.360 on law fear that targeted his family and will target 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.080 future Republicans. He gave me the best endorsement ever, but 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.800 then did no promotion of the book while it was 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.759 on the shelves. But he decided yesterday, for no apparent reason, 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.600 to promote the book for me. So thank you, mister President. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.200 I appreciate it, though I would love to figure out 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.800 what inspired him to decide to throw your humble host 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:45.440 a bone. 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:46.840 But it's nice. But it's a good book, and it 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:47.760 is relevant. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.000 Because it does map out the playbook they will use 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.640 to attack all of you and your favorite hosts and 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.680 your favorite politicians should the Democrats seize power. More than 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.520 that later in the show, But back to the topic 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.360 at hand, Ron is having a very hard time figuring 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.560 out who their leader is the president truth, they just 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.040 don't know. The infighting is between the hard liners who 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.280 have been losing badly on the battlefield and the moderates 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.560 who are not very moderate at all, but gaining respect 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.880 is crazy. We have total control over the Straight of 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.360 War Mouse. No ship can enter or leave without the 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.960 approval of the United States Navy. It is sealed up 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.720 tight until such time as Iran is able to make 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:32.040 a deal. Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, thank you 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.360 for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:36.040 Trump. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:41.160 So he says that basically, the ceasefire is over. It's 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.680 what it is, and I wish I coud interpret it 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.520 more charitably, but not over and over for the not 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.440 good reasons. So now we have seen a back and 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.800 forth that's taken place in terms of the US Navy 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.320 being ordered to shoot and destroy any small boats attempting 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.960 to drop mines and Straight of War Mouse, they're instructed 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.280 to shoot with no hesitation. The President's also directed mind 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.639 sweepers to intensify operations in the area, and I'm told 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.760 that this could take up to six months to clear 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.400 all the minds. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.040 Not good. So this is going to be. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.600 Tripling the effort to sweep minds which is already taking 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.240 place that I brought up on the show numerous times. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.520 So the tensions with Iran going up, and that's not 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.239 a great sign for markets and for vibes. Dow is 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.200 down a little bit, oil is up a little bit, 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.840 as you can imagine, even though gas prices overall are 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.360 still down, but some of those effects are lagging, and 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.000 they're still entirely too high overall to make Americans feel good. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.880 But the President is not satisfied with the progress, and 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.120 he is going to put his foot on the gas, 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.680 so to speak. Interesting that he knows that there are 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:47.640 hardliners and moderates, which comports with some of the establishment 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.560 media's reporting earlier in the week that it's actually very 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.320 chaotic at the top of the Iranian regime and directly 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.080 contrast to what I was told by the alleged Middle 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.040 East experts on the BBC when I was on a 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.560 couple of weeks ago, that there is total unanimity amongst 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.240 the leadership in the IRGC and Iran's government, that they're 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.920 all in the same page. It could never not be 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.960 on the same page. They're all interchangeable and they all 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.040 agree on everything. So the president's saying that's not the case. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.560 But we know it is clear that it's very difficult 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.400 to negotiate with the Iranians, and we're certainly seeing a 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.760 We're seeing Trump amp up the aggression. Other things that 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.320 is noteworthy. Iran is apparently now getting some of the 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:31.279 toll money that they were angling for from the straight tolls. Now, 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.960 personal level, I don't mind Iran taking a toll so 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.600 long as the whole operation is coordinated by the United 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.960 States and is basically a gift coming from US saying 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.280 that you can get some toll money, but provided you 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.800 don't do any more damage to the United States and 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.080 to the global economy and to enrich any more uranium 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.760 and loaded up on those intercontinental ballistic missiles that they've 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.839 still been developing despite Trump's insistence they stopped doing that 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.840 over a year ago. So here is what I'm being told, 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.360 and this is from pretty high level sources. I got 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.240 to say that I cannot name on the show, but 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.960 I'm told that really the hold up with the negotiations 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:06.800 is exactly what you would think. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:07.320 It is. 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.000 How long of a moratorium the Iranians would agree to 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:14.160 you for enrichment. So some of the Iranians are apparently 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.880 the hardliner so to speak, won a three year they 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.640 would compromise it a three year ban. That makes a 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.320 lot of sense. What is going to happen. It is 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.120 twenty twenty six. Can I get the Jeopardy music teed up? 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.919 What happens in the year twenty twenty nine, Ladies and gentlemen, 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.800 there will be a different president of the United States. 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.520 So that's what Iran wants, basically saying Trump, we will 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.560 not enrich so long as you're president, but as soon 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.760 as you're out, we're back on it. And so Trump says, 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.680 we want a twenty year ban, which seems like a 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.720 good number because a lot can happen between now. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.680 Twenty year. To me is kind of infinity. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.039 It's kind of as a twenty year ban, who knows 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.200 what the world's going to look like, And that's plenty 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.800 of time. If we are careful, for meticulous and if 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.360 we're effective with our policy towards Iran, in twenty years time, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.360 they could be just normalized in players in the regular 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.240 global economy, the way that we've been doing things with 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.960 Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Guitar and other Arab 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.120 nations in the region, who have just becoming part of 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.839 the global economy in a major way. So could Iran 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.400 be that way in twenty years. I think it's a 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.680 high enough likelihood. I like that number. I think it's 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.280 a perfectly adequate number. And so the debate is how 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.839 long so we're they gonna net out? Hopefully it's to 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.200 the higher end of that spectrum. But if Iran release 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.040 digs in, and then the question is are they digging 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.880 in or are they slow walking? The slow walking is 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.960 significant possibility because you see what's happening in the American 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.080 media today. I woke up today not quite as hot 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:40.760 of a news day as a couple days earlier in 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.640 the week. And when I woke up, I got to 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.000 see a lot of stories about how Americans are now 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.520 pinching pennies again because of energy costs, and I think 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.760 that's real. I think that's a real thing. People diverting 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.480 some of their funds, they're rebudgeting because gas prices are 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.800 too high. I'm seeing stories about how Trump's economic approval 0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:00.000 is that it's lowest number since in this term at least, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.440 and maybe overall, and all this is, of course war related. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.240 Iran is carefully scrutinizing these headlines and the air of 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.800 the belief. I can guarantee you I don't have the 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.160 benefit of talking to them firsthand. But I can guarantee 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.760 you that they know that the longer this thing goes out, 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.160 the more chaos, the more trouble it causes President Trump 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.360 at home. And that's the goal for them is the 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.520 longer they can hold out, they feel like the better 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.520 outcome they're going to get. So they want this thing 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.720 to drag out. They move slow anyway, and they wanted 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.520 to drag out because they know that America has to 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.400 win the war of messaging at home. This is sort 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.640 of a Vietnam Reducks in a lot of ways. The 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.840 President has to go back. He's to convince half of 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.920 his own base, the Magabase, and then all of the 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.960 people who have disagreed with him in the past. That 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.480 is a very tough thing. It's a very tough thing 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.680 to do. And credit to the President for doing it 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.000 as best he can. There's also been a shake up 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.280 at the top of the Navy. Trump has removed the 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.240 head of the Navy. He's replaced him with Hung cow 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.080 who is a regular on our Bright Part News daily 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.920 show in series XM. That we have so someone who 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.360 communicates with us, So it seems like it's an improvement. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.160 But a Navy Secretary John Fhalen has been oustered from 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.760 his position effective yesterday, and a lot of this has 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.640 to do with tensions with Pete Heggsath. So this is 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.080 a w for Pete Hegsath, which I think is generally good. 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:20.880 I've been trusting Hegxeth a lot on this stuff. He's 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.560 earned a lot of my respect during this process. Also 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.600 pretty communicative with us, but he thinks Phalan is moving 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:33.000 too slowly on shipbuilding reforms and he's had a He's 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.760 irritated the Defense Department by trying to go around heg 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.880 seth straight to Trump, which I understand that any level 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.400 of insubordination is not going to be a good look. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.120 It's going to cause a lot of tension, and I 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.319 hate that sort of drama in an organization. I think 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.520 Trump is probably more tolerant of it than others, but 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.200 Pete hegg sth not tolerant of it, it seems, and 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.920 pushed him out. Pentegon, a spokesperson announced that Hank cow 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.559 is coming in. He was the acting he's the acting 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.000 secretary now he's under secretary. Before fine with this, seems 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.720 like a bright part guy. There's also notes about Phalan 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.680 being on a Jeffrey Epstein plane flight, which who even 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.680 knows what that means, but certainly something that could be 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.040 used against you if you were This is the problem. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.600 If you don't have a clean slate, if you're in 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.120 a glasshouse, you can't cast stones. So if you're gonna 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.679 beast with people, maybe you did nothing. But the problem 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.680 is that if you have any skeletons in your closet. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.760 In Washington, it's a town that operates on leverage in 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.120 order to execute on power. So that's what's going on. 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.240 So the war's evolving, naval standoff going on both countries 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.520 now going back and forth, and some accused piracy. I'll 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.200 play a clip we come back from Caroline Levitt saying 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.800 that Aron's now engaging in piracy in the area. So, 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.040 sadly a step back, but hopefully only a momentary one, 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.600 and hopefully good news ahead. All right, but I'm gonna 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.679 tell you what to do because of all this chaos. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.199 If you take my recommendation when I started telling you 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.120 about how I am buying silver because of this right now, 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:58.679 a lot of folks in the now are looking at 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.280 silver numbers or I popping some experts heeed hitting one 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.160 hundred and fifty dollars an ounce this year Bank of America. 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.079 This could be double that, three hundred dollars by the 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.440 year end. Why is that silver is a fuel the 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.840 modern world. So if you want up silver panels, electric vehicles, 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.559 AI data centers, they don't work without it. It's critical 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.960 for advanced electronics and frankly for a national defense systems too. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.200 The reality is silver's a strategic industrial resource.

From my friends at Lear capital right now, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.559 our Jewish friends feel forgotten. There's a Jewish woman named Esther, 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.920 and I'd like to tell you about her. In her 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.360 home in Israel, Estra is living through days and nights 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.960 of fear, sirens sounding, rockets screaming through the sky, long 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.280 stretches spent in a bomb shelter. Eighty four years old, 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:35.360 Esther's elderly, fragile and alone. Imagine that no help, no 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.480 food deliveries, no medical care, no one knocking at the 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.520 door in a warzone. But because of friends like you, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.440 Esther is not alone. Through the fellowship, you were there, 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.960 bringing food, meeting urgent needs and reminding Jewish people like 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.280 Esther you are not forgotten in times of fear and uncertainty. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.200 Your compassion brings hope and help. Esther asked that you 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.800 hear these words to those who give. You were doing 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.240 a very great mitzvah, a good deed you give from 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.120 your hearts. May God protect you your prayers for God's 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.679 protection and for the piece of Jerusalem. Give Jewish people 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.439 like Esther hope. Stand with Israel in prayer by visiting 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:21.640 support IFCJ dot org. That support IFCJ dot org one 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.360 thing that's a silver lining to the Iran war dragging 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.320 out a little bit. Is the country that's suffering the 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.560 most is China, and I think this is probably an 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.360 ad of benefit to the war itself, but also might 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.120 compel us to drag things out longer than necessary, and 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:34.640 I hope not. 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.400 But China is a major. 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.480 Buyer of Iranian oil and a lot of their economic 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.920 interests are based on keeping the Straight open. Chi Jinping 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.640 stepped in and has suggested that they need to open 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.440 up the Straight so that China can benefit. It handles 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:51.200 about twenty percent of global oil shipments go through That's straight, 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.000 and China is the major beneficiary of all that, plus 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.319 a lot of Chinese goods in general. Are going back 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.560 and forth on that. But is noteworthy that Chijinping publicly 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.920 demand the reopening of the Strait to normal traffic, applying 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.080 pressure on Iran, and Iran is losing allies like Iran 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.760 even lost the Taliban as an ally, so the Taliban's 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.640 mad because Iran is bombing other Arab nations and Taliban 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.280 not generally moral paragons, like hey, what's going on here? 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:17.160 You guys got to stop? 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.640 But they said the straits impossible to the opening the 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.200 straits impossible, and the talks have been rejected. But there's 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.119 all just trash talk. You're trash talking people, the Iranians. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.240 But unfortunately not a lot of good news to report 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.520 this morning. I will say the White House is talking 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.679 tough and I'll hear some of this. Let's play the 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.040 Press Secretary Caroline Levett play cut eighteen. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:42.240 Gentlemen, Iran has gone from having the most lethal navy 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.560 in the Middle East to now acting like a bunch 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.040 of pirates. They don't have control over the Strait. This 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.040 is piracy that we are seeing on display. And the 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.200 naval blockade that the United States has imposed continues to 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.560 be incredibly effective. And to be clear, the blockade is 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.360 on ships going to and from Iranian ports, and the 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.320 point of this is the economic leverage that we maintain 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.640 over or on now right. 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.559 So they are acting like pirates, and I think that's 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.599 noteworthy because it's also a weak look. I think that 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.400 word is deliberate, because it makes them seem like they're 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.960 a roade nation and not really to be taken seriously 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.960 and to be dominated, which is gonna be a lot 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.960 of the talk in Washington these days. Senator Tubberville spoke 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.600 pretty clearly about this directly to the President on Fox 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.400 Business Play Cut fourteen Team. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.440 The one thing that I'd love for him to do 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.000 is take a big map and circle about twenty targets 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.680 and don't let them put people around the targets. Just 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.960 put twenty twenty targets on. Say listen, we're gonna block you. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.440 We're gonna keep you from getting anything in or out, 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.840 and then we're gonna take away your money. And then 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.400 every once in a while, I'm gonna hit one of 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.320 these targets and you're not gonna know which one we're 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.000 gonna hit, and we're gonna hit them one at a 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.920 time and just put the pressure on them. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:51.480 Yeah, I hit them one a time. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.400 Put the pressure on They've been devastating a lot of ways. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.120 But of course that might make it seem as though 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.080 it's gonna be a longer road to be able to 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.360 to get to a sort of long lasting piece. But 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:04.960 I do think we had a few more weeks to go, 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.680 so maybe the move is to just be a little tougher. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.360 Maybe it's time to get tough, to quote one of 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.400 Trump's books, and we're going to continue to track how 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.520 so many people in the American media, both throughout the 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.640 political spectrum, are aligned against the president and are trying 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.840 to side with their allies. The latest person to throw 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.760 their hat in that ring is Pete boot Edge Edge 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.160 Edge Edge. He's on Stephen Colbert Show that used to 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:30.920 be a comedy show and now is just a political 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.480 puntry show. Completely cut seventeen guys, how do. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.000 You view America's role in the world. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:42.960 Diminished? Sadly? I mean, you know, when I was a student, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.120 it was just understood that the US was the leading 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:49.960 nation in the world, not just the biggest, not just 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.400 the richest, not just the most powerful, but the country 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.360 that people look to because of our values as well 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.720 is because of our strength. And now under Donald Trump, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.440 there are by some measures, more people around the world 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.760 who trusts China to do the right thing than the 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:08.600 United States. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.920 So China good, America not as good as China, even 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.720 though China is the ones who are suffering the most. 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.000 And just how do we forgive China for inflicting a 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.800 pandemic on the rest of the planet just five six 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.040 years ago from a lab growing viruses? 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.200 We justly forgive them for that trying to murder. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.840 Us with fentanyl that they get south of our border, 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.720 that gets brought up through our open southern border and 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.560 then kills one hundred thousand plus Americans every single year. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.360 They're trying to literally kill us right now. With that, 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.200 they've got a genocide going on. They're racist people, they're 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.640 a anti women people. It's just overall, I don't don't 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.280 understand this. So China is more respected. It's more respected 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.160 because of one thing. I don't see it up here, guys. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.960 One of the things that is remarkable about this is 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.080 that they're complimenting a genocidal regime because they hate Trump 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.640 so much. Mark that down, all right. I'm gonna share 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.400 with you something I was doing. Some I did yesterday 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.320 yes Y's Day. I hit some golf balls and I 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.320 went for a run and that man, I was gonna 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.119 hit my some power led. My good friend of Tom Kerber, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.200 He's got the super Palm ten fifty for me. He's 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.359 got other great products as well. I use on my knee, 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.080 which I did yesterday, lower back as well, and I'm 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:14.720 feeling better. 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:16.000 It's just what I. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.000 Want at home because non invasive, no drugs, nothing addictive. 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:21.880 I don't need to go to a doctor's office. 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:26.280 It's all with the science of photobiom photo biomodulation, red 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.800 light therapy. This is in vogue right now, you guys know. 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.080 It is the super Palm ten fifty. It's impressive deeper 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:37.920 light penetration to stimulate cellular energy, anti inflammatory, helped your arthritis, 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:42.680 your back pain, joint pain, gout, muscle recovery. The handheld 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.640 super Palm ten fifty eliminates hotspots spreads light evenly over 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.680 a wide area, making it five to nine times more 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.240 effective than his competitors. Some Power led is a medical 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:58.680 grade PBM device used by dentists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, wellness centers. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.720 You have to go to some Power use the code 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.800 Marlowe and get ten percent off SunPower led dot com 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.479 for the best red light therapy around. 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.560 How do you view America's role in the world. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:22.440 Diminished? 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.560 Sadly? I mean, you know, when I was a student, 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.680 it was just understood that the US was the leading 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.520 nation in the world, not just the biggest, not just 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.919 the richest, not just the most powerful, but the country 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.880 that people look to because of our values as well, 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.240 is because of our strength and now under Donald Trump, 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:48.000 there are, by some measures, more people around the world 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.280 who trust China to do the right thing than the 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:52.040 United States. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.440 And they said, here's what you do boot edge edge 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.000 say edge like the edge of a building. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:05.040 Edge foot edge ye, And why does he stop at 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.359 two edges? You need to just keep going boo je 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.240 je jet jetge, I keep going, That's what I do. 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.879 So but he's a scary guy because he's gonna run 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.160 for president even though he's at a party that's obsessed 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.639 with race. And I guess say, one of my favorite 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.399 moments of the week so far was I think I 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.480 really nailed the Kamala Harris impression when she was doing 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.280 a caricature of a sassy black woman. You doesn't have 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.240 to pull that up in prior shows, but that was 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.240 fun doing that. But he's pulling zero percent with black 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.040 people and still wants to be president of a party 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:32.960 that's obsessed with race. 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.919 But if we give people like these guys like. 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.879 Pete Boodh edge edge edge edge power, then they're just 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.680 gonna use it to investigate Republicans. Conservatives understand this. With 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.600 the SPLC story, which I will get back to momentarily, 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.800 that this investigation the DJ has that they're just an 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.760 AstroTurf organization that is doing the work of the far 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.600 left of the Democrat Party, and they do have on 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.000 the horizon partnerships with a Democrat administration. Should Kamala Harris 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.600
