Polls 13 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: show American evenly divided on the support for the ouster 14 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: of Maduro, and after announcing his bid an end too 15 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: his bid for reelection, Governor Tim Wallace's attacking Trump for 16 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: quote poisoning our people against each other end of quote. 17 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: We're going to play Senator John Kennedy's presentation of the 18 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: Somali fraud.

End of quote. House Speaker Mike Johnson said, 34 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: quote Congress is devastated to learn this morning of the 35 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: passing of our dear friend and colleague, Doug LaMalfa. Doug, 36 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: he said, was a lifelong resident of northern California and 37 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: deeply loved his people. He was a fierce fighter for 38 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: his state's vast natural resources and beauty. House majority with 39 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: Tom Emmer posted this, Jackie and I are devastated about 40 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: the sudden loss of our friend, Congressman Doug LaMalfa. Doug 41 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: was a loving father and husband and staunch advocate for 42 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: its constituents in rural America. End of quote. Doug LaMalfa 43 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: was one of only two Republican members of the California 44 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: delegation who openly supported me for governor. The other Wastelle 45 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: Michelle Steele, and I barely knew Doug LaMalfa before he 46 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: endorsed me. His jurisdiction was in northern California, and we 47 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: talked a lot about water rights and about the failure 48 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: of the state to prepare for fires and the need 49 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: for better water infrastructure. So I got to know him 50 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: pretty well, and he was such a down to earth 51 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: likable guy. Reminded me of Andy Griffith, Andy of Mayberry. 52 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: He was a farmer, he was unpretentious. I heard him 53 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: speak once and I went up to him and I said, 54 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: had he always been this relaxed in front of an audience, says, oh, no, 55 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: I was a terrible speaker. At one time. I was 56 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: very self conscious. But the more I did it, the 57 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: more I got loose, and I got comfortable, and now 58 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: I can do it pretty easily. He was a great, 59 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: great man. Meanwhile, another Republican member of the House, Representative 60 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: Jim Baird of Indiana, has been reportedly hospitalized after a 61 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: car accident, Fox News reporting he is in stable condition. 62 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: Now. 63 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: Regarding the oulster of Maduro, a Router's poll found out 64 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: a third of Americans disapprove, a third approve, and about 65 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: a third have no opinion one way or the other. 66 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: I will tell you, however, what Karine Jean Pierre, Biden 67 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: press secretary said about Maduro back in twenty twenty four. 68 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: Number thirty two. 69 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 3: Quickly turned to Venezuela, where Maduro once again demonstrated his 70 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 3: complete disregard for democratic norms and proceeded with his illegitimate 71 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: inauguration as president. Biden emphasized during his meeting with President 72 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: elect Edmundo Gonzales Urutio on Monday, January sixth, we believe 73 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: that it is essential that the will of the Venezuelan 74 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: people is respected. In coordination with our partners, We've given 75 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: Maduro and his representatives every opportunity to restore democracy, but 76 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: they haven't. So today we are building on all of 77 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: our previous actions and taking further major actions. We announced 78 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: new sanctions on key Maduro aligned officials as a part 79 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: of our efforts to hold them accountable, and we imposed 80 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: more visa restrictions totaling nearly two thousand individuals. We also 81 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: increased the reward amount to twenty five million dollars for 82 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: Nicholas Maduro and his so called Minister of Interior as 83 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 3: part of the Department of State's Narcotics Rewards program. 84 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: Increased the reward to twenty five million dollars for his arrest. 85 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: How are you going to achieve that now? This is 86 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: Senator Chris van Holland of Maryland, also way back in 87 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, number thirty one. 88 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 4: Well, we stand with the Venezuelan people, who overwhelmingly, it 89 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 4: turns out, voted for Bri Gonzalees and against Maduro. This 90 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 4: is why many of us call immediately for transparency for 91 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 4: the Magureau government regime to release the results. And there's 92 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 4: a reason Jose that they hit those results, because we 93 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: now know, because we've seen results that were released by 94 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 4: some of the opposition figures from about eighty percent of 95 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 4: the polling places that Gonzales has won comfortably here. And 96 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 4: so this is clearly an effort to deny the will 97 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 4: of the people. Duro lost, right, he is trying to 98 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 4: cling onto this claim of legitimacy that he won when 99 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 4: all the evidence shows otherwise. So this is why Secretary 100 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: of Blincoln did, in my view, the right thing, recognizing 101 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: the real winner here, Gonzales. 102 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: And this is why the. 103 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 4: United States is now going to use its levers and 104 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 4: influence to push for a negotiation to have a transition 105 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 4: to the truly elected leader guns. Now, obviously we know 106 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: Maduro and his cronies do not want to go quietly 107 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 4: into the night. But the United States needs to work 108 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 4: with our partner's allies in the region to ratchet up 109 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: the pressure on behalf of the Venezuelan people. 110 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: To ratchet up the pressure on behalf of the Venezuelan people. Now, 111 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: this is a former Democrat National Committee Press secretary about 112 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: how previous administrations talked a lot about how Maduro should 113 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: go but did nothing about it number twenty two. 114 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 5: Talk to me about why this hadn't happened before. I mean, 115 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 5: the charges against the indictment against Maduro and his wife 116 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 5: started back in twenty twenty under Trump's first term, and 117 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 5: in trying to catch him and trying to get him, 118 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 5: he remained in office. If you want to say that 119 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 5: in quotes, because you've told me before he wasn't legitimate. 120 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 5: He was addicted Ara Maduro, but then you look at 121 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 5: the bounty went up to twenty five million, but the 122 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 5: Biden Harris administration didn't go after him the way that 123 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 5: we're saying with the Trump administration. 124 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Look, that's exactly right. 125 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 6: I mean, there's no question that both Republicans and Democrats 126 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 6: administration in the past they a whole lot of talk 127 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 6: but did not followed through. With President Trump, it was different, 128 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 6: and this is something that Republicans and Democrats here at home. 129 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 6: She was supported, like you said, former President Biden supported 130 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 6: this when he was a center so right. I hope 131 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 6: that my fellow Democrats will will come and support this immediately. 132 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 6: And let me say also something too for the folks 133 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 6: that want to be quick in some of my Democratic 134 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 6: friends and say no, this is Trump trying to take 135 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 6: the oil and trying to take the old reserves of Venezuela. 136 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 6: It is true that Venezuela holds the largest old reserve 137 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 6: in the world. 138 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: But folks, let me be very clear that people who. 139 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 6: Are controlling the Venezuelan oil today, it's not the Venezuoland 140 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 6: and it's not America. It's the Chinese, It's Russia, it's Iran, 141 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 6: it's Hezbolan is hamasd So. I much rather have America 142 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 6: helping us renbuild a great name of what once was herons. 143 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: Venezuela was the most. 144 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 6: Powerful country in Latin America, and he can be the 145 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 6: biggest commercial partner for the United States. 146 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: We come back more about the Democrat hypocrisy on the 147 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: oulster of Maduro.

President Trump has dispatched some 176 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: two thousand ICE agents to the Minneapolis area, and Governor 177 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: Tim Walls calls it a war on the Somali community. 178 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: About this poll showing the third of American support the 179 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: alster of Maduro or third or not, and the third 180 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: have no opinion. Just over one in ten Democrats supported it, 181 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: two thirds Republicans say they approved, so once again, very 182 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: different reaction, divided by party lines. Back to the former 183 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: Democrat National Committee Press Secretary number twenty three. 184 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 6: Eric, this is an important, unhistoric day. Let me begin 185 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 6: by saying that this is a day not only for 186 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 6: the Venezuelan people that have been oppressed have been killed 187 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 6: by nicol As Mudura for the last twenty. 188 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: Five years, but it's a great day for America. 189 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 7: It's a great day for America. 190 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 6: Because now the leader of the Narco state of Venezuela 191 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 6: will no longer flawed or country withdraw, will no longer 192 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 6: kill for American children here at home. And that stops 193 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 6: one part. In great part, thank you to President Trump, 194 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 6: and thank you to Secretary of State Marc Ubi. 195 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Senator John Fetterman continues as my third most favorite Democrat, 196 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: followed by my mother and my brother Kirk number thirty five. 197 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 7: I don't know why we can't just acknowledge that it's 198 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 7: been a good thing. 199 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: What's happened? 200 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, I've seen the speeches from whether 201 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 7: it's Leader Schumer or kinds of past tweets from President Biden. 202 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 7: Now we all wanted this man gone, and now he 203 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 7: is gone. I think we should really appreciate exactly what 204 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 7: happened here and now, remember we all Democrats years ago 205 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 7: wanted to eliminate him, and they why have a bounty 206 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 7: of twenty five million dollars if we didn't want him gone? 207 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 7: Why would you do these things if you weren't willing 208 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 7: to actually do something other than harsh language. Let's remember 209 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 7: eight million Venezuelan were displaced and mass chaos, and now 210 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 7: they were shipping drugs to our nation as well too. 211 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 7: So for me, it's like, why why, as a Democrat, 212 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 7: you know, we can't just acknowledge that it was successful. 213 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: So Senator Feederman, you're saying, at one time democrats who 214 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: are criticizing Donald Trump for an illegal act. We're urging 215 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: in illegal act to remove Maduro, and now that Donald 216 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Trump has followed through, you're criticizing Donald Trump for doing 217 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: something that you want Biden to do. Huh again. This 218 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: is Anna Navarro, one of the co hosts on the 219 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: View number nineteen. 220 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 8: Your question. 221 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 9: Who voted for this? 222 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 8: The people in South Florida, the Venezuelan community, the Cuban 223 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 8: American community, then a kora when American community voted for this, 224 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 8: and for us, this is a very very happy day. 225 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 8: When we see a dictator who has been part of 226 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 8: oppressing and abusing the Venezuelan people for twenty five years, 227 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 8: when we see him in handcuffs and held to some 228 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 8: sort of accountability. It brought me into two tears. It 229 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 8: brought me great joy. And you know, I live in 230 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 8: South Florida. 231 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: But those these are you okay with the way that it. 232 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 8: Was done, But you can I think both things can 233 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 8: be true. I think you can criticize and ask questions 234 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 8: and have concerns about the way it was done and 235 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 8: what this means in the future. And I think you 236 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 8: can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, satistic son of 237 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 8: a is out of Venezuela. Yeah, because he has I think, 238 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 8: with eight million Venezuelan exiles all over the world, people 239 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 8: have fled from this man's tyrannical rule. 240 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: So for me, notice the applause from that left wing audience. Now, 241 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: this is the former CIA Special Ops agent on the 242 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: Morning Joe Show of All Places, number twenty. 243 00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 10: Nine, tal Moropolis. Before we talk about what happens next, 244 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 10: let's talk about what happened during the attack. And I've 245 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 10: seen you talk about how this was extraordinarily difficult and 246 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 10: yet the Military Special Ops CIA, everybody seemed to handle 247 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 10: it extraordinarily. 248 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 11: Well, So, Joe, this is really the product of twenty 249 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 11: years of close coordination between the CIA, my old organization, 250 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 11: and the Joint Special Operations Command. You know, this started 251 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 11: after nine to eleven, this lash up. I actually worked 252 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 11: with the Special Operations community, including Delta Force. This is 253 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 11: the unit that conducted this operation. We grew up together, 254 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 11: and this is kind of techniques and practices that have 255 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 11: been refined, and this is what you saw kind of 256 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 11: play out in Venezuela. The CIA reportedly had teams on 257 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 11: the ground that recruited a high level penetration of the 258 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 11: Maduro regime, and what they do is they kind of 259 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 11: established Maduro and his family's pattern of life, which then 260 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 11: allows for a special Forces team in this case Delta Force, 261 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 11: to come in and conduct this extraction operation. It really 262 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 11: is remarkable with certainly no killed in action, and at 263 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 11: the end of the day, this is something that I 264 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 11: think is going to be kind of written in intelligence 265 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 11: and special operations history. It's something that I think we 266 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 11: can focus on and think about. It's tactically brilliant, but 267 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 11: of course I think what comes next now and what 268 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 11: the discussion will then lead to is then kind of 269 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 11: this strategic dysfunction here, perhaps even in competence on not 270 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 11: having a day after plan. But really kudos to my 271 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 11: old organization, the CIA, and to the special operations world 272 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 11: for what was a really extraordinary operation. 273 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: Now you remember Blackhawk Down, What a disaster that was. 274 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: Remember the attempted rescue of the hostages held by Iran 275 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: by Jimmy Carter, What a disaster that was. What about 276 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: the pull out of Afghanistan? Didn't advise our allies he was 277 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: doing at Biden claim nobody advised him that the tall 278 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: obamaud come back. The Afghan government would melt away. General's 279 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: testified under oath, that's exactly what they told President Biden. 280 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: He ignored it, or didn't listen to it, or didn't 281 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: hear it, or forgot that he was told it. You 282 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: tell me eight nine billion dollars the military equipment left behind, 283 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: which very likely has been used to kill Americans in 284 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: that area. Hundreds of Americans left behind, thousands of Afghan 285 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: collaborated left behind, thirteen members military members at Abbegate killed. 286 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: And the way this was so incompetently done and fecklessly 287 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: done very likely incided Putin to invade Ukraine. He even 288 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: he has said so, very likely incited the Iranians to 289 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: assist the terrorists who pulled off that atrocity on October seven, 290 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. So this is risky. Suppose it had 291 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: blown up in a disaster, Iran's watching, Putin's watching, China's watching, 292 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: Hamas is watching. It was executed flawlessly. No Americans lives lost, apparently, 293 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: there were some injuries, but nothing serious, no assets lost. 294 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: Complicated mission one hundred and fifty aircraft used plus other assets. 295 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: Absolutely stunning, along the same lines as was the taking 296 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: out of three nuclear sites in Iran? Can you at 297 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: least applaud the execution of the mission, especially considering that 298 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: you wanted Moduro austed and accused Trump of not doing 299 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: anything to get rid of him as recently as a 300 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: year or so ago. Can you say hypocrisy? Triple eight 301 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 1: ninety seven one as ge, I'm Larry Blueberry Triple eight 302 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: nine seven one, Sage Triple eight nine seven one seven 303 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: two four to three, very elder say Sellem NewsChannel. One 304 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: of my liberal friends said that what Trump did was 305 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: a quote, violation of international law. I said, can you 306 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: give me the sites, give me the statute? What are 307 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: you talking about? International law? You mean the international criminal 308 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: Court that we don't even recognize as valid, The court 309 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: that is called BB not in Yahoo it war criminal. 310 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: The court that saur On mom Dami, the new mayor 311 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: of New York, apparently relying on when he says if 312 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: BB set foot in New York City, he'd have him arrested. 313 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: We don't acknowledge their jurisdiction. General Jack Keene number twenty four. 314 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: General that operation, this is my opinion, it was brilliantly executed. 315 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 11: No disagreement on that from you, I take it. 316 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: Oh, no, totally agree. Bring an operation absolutely flawless, to 317 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: be frank, which is highly unusual. So much led into 318 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: that achieving those results. One just the operational security of 319 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: the mission itself, thousands involved in it, and of course 320 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 2: administration leaders and their staffs involved as well, and no leak, 321 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: thank god for that. And the intelligence was clearly exquisite 322 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 2: to be able to know exactly where Madure was and 323 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: what they could do about it. He was inside a 324 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 2: military base, his compound, and yet we were able to 325 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 2: get in there with a relatively small force and get 326 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 2: him out in a matter of minutes. 327 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: During the press conference, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was 328 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: asked about notifying Congress and he said, well, this is 329 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: a different kind of mission required real time intelligence wouldn't 330 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: have been time. And Trump jumped in and said, we 331 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: can't trust Congress, not the leak they leak back to 332 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: Fetterman on better opportunities for Venezuelan's number twenty six. 333 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 7: I mean, everybody wanted to see about that video about 334 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 7: that boat, and now now we're not talking about that anymore. 335 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 7: It's like, well here, that's that happened. So you know, 336 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 7: for me, I think Democrats we all used to describe 337 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 7: him as a dictator or a tyrant, or a terrible person. 338 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 7: And it wasn't less than a year ago. President Biden 339 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 7: raised raised the bounty for twenty five million dollars less 340 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 7: than a year ago. And now here, here we're in 341 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 7: a better way to know. And that's why I think 342 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 7: as a Democrat, you know, just because it's a different 343 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 7: party here, it's like, I'm open to better opportunities for Venezuelan. 344 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 7: And now I turned to a lot of the Venezuelans 345 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 7: and our nation, and they're all celebrating these things. And 346 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 7: we all recognize that kind of warm collectivism socialism in Benezuela. 347 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 7: No one really liked to live under that, and they 348 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 7: had to flee that. And now here we have a 349 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 7: way forward. And now there's a trial, a public trial, 350 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 7: and now here, So that's the way it works. 351 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: I wonder what his fellow Democrats are saying about John 352 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: Fetterman number twenty seven. 353 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 7: I mean, look at the kinds of the kinds of 354 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 7: places that they understand, the good thing that happened here. 355 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 7: They're celebrating these kinds of a thing. And now we 356 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 7: want to remember the kinds of chaos and the suffering 357 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 7: that Medora brought to Venezuela. Why we all can't just 358 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,479 Speaker 7: call that as a good development now and be open 359 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 7: to better kinds of outcomes for that nation. You know, 360 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 7: our name was forced to absorb over five hundred thousand Vesuanians. 361 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 7: So now that's the kinds of chaos, and it's I 362 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 7: think it was appropriate and surgical. This wasn't a war, 363 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 7: this wasn't boots on grounds, and in that kind of 364 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 7: a way, this was surgical and very efficient. And they 365 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 7: want to celebrate our military. And now they're also putting 366 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 7: him on a trial. They didn't assassinate him, they didn't 367 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 7: disappear him. He's actually on our TV right now and 368 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 7: they're going to give him a trail. 369 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: Who knew that John Fetterman would be the most common 370 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: centical Democrat on the heel number twenty eight. 371 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 7: For seeing It's like, yeah, I mean for me, I 372 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 7: think I don't know why we can't just acknowledge that 373 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 7: it's been a good thing. 374 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 2: What's happened? 375 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 7: I mean, I mean I've seen the speeches from whether 376 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 7: it's Leader Schumer or kinds of past tweets from President Biden. 377 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 7: Now we all wanted this man gone and now he 378 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 7: is gone. I think we should really appreciate exactly what 379 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 7: happen been here, and I think we did, just as 380 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 7: I've salute our military what they've done that was really 381 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 7: surgical and precise and very efficient. So why we can't 382 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 7: celebrate these kinds of things. And I'm open to the 383 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 7: good opportunities that a better future for Venezuela after this happened. 384 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: As I mentioned just one intense express support for what happened. 385 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: What do you think there would have reacted to had 386 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: o Kamala Harris been president and done the same thing, 387 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: or had Biden done the same thing, or Obama done 388 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: the same thing? You think only one in ten would 389 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: have approved this rhetorical question.

This just end. Michael Reagan, 396 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: the eighty year old son of Ronald Reagan, has just died. 397 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: The Reagan Library Foundation issued a statement calling his death 398 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: a quote profound loss that his presence, warmth, and on 399 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: wavering commitment will be deeply missed at the Reagan Library 400 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: and far beyond its walls. Close quote. I've interviewed Michael 401 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: Reagan a number of times. He once even got his 402 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: father to send me something that his father autographed. I 403 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: was fortunate enough to be invited to the burial ceremony 404 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: for President Ronald Reagan and Seem Valley. I also was 405 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: honored to have had dinner with Nancy Reagan. Along with 406 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: Nina and Michael was a staunch conservative who believed in 407 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: his father's values, very different from ron Reagan Junior, who 408 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: became the very antithesis, at least politically, of what his 409 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: father represented. 410 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 12: Ri P. 411 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: Michael Reagan, Chris is in San Antonio. Chris, you're and 412 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: the Lario to show. Thank you so much for. 413 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 13: Calling Therenz though. Happy to know you're my friend, sir. 414 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 13: Thank you, yeah, you know. Rest in peace to the 415 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 13: Reagan family. God bless them for all that they've contributed 416 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 13: to this great republic. As I yes, sir, as I 417 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 13: hear the media punditry and the politicians and the like 418 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 13: take all these ridiculous comments about the beautiful Venezuela. What 419 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 13: would you call it? 420 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: The warm collectivism? No warm collective visness. 421 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 13: Warm collectivisions. That's right, that took place. I'm reminded of 422 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 13: two quotes, and one of them is from the great 423 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 13: Dennis Prager, where he said that the right fights evil 424 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 13: and the left fights those that fight evil. And the 425 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 13: other quote is from my favorite entertainer who says that 426 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 13: if this man being Trump walked on water, he'd be 427 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 13: a key to not being able to swim. These people 428 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 13: are too much. 429 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: They are Chris much. Thank you so much for that. 430 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Let me give you one of my 431 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: favorite lines. This is from a TV show, the show 432 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: the Keifer Sutherland started. Was it called twenty four to 433 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: forty eight? Mister m McConnell was a twenty four to 434 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: forty eight The Keefer Sutherland Show, twenty four Thank you 435 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: just let me hang there, okay? Took almost forty eight 436 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: hour for you to respond to that. There is a 437 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: a character played by William Devane. He played secondary of State, 438 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: I believe, and he had a son who was an 439 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: anti war activist and as Devane was about ready to 440 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: give a speech. His son was telling his father he's 441 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: going to go out and protest against nuclear proliferation and 442 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: talked about how horrible it is for us to have 443 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: all these weapons, and de Vane said this, Oh, spare 444 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: me your fifth grade. Michael Moore logic, America has enemies. Now. 445 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: When I support military action like this, as I did 446 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: the war in Iraq and still do, I was called 447 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: an apostate, as a small il libertarian, as if there's 448 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: a libertarian foreign policy. I don't believe that there is. 449 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: But the world is a very ugly dangerous place. There 450 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: are evil actors, and the sort of naive notion that 451 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: if just leave people alone, they'll leave you alone is 452 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: just not born out in the real world. There are aggressors, 453 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,959 Speaker 1: There are evil people with an evil ideology. Look at 454 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: radical Islam. The agenda of radical Islam is not just 455 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: to prevent a Jewish state of Israel, but to exterminate 456 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: all non believers, all infidels. The Quran offers non believers 457 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: three choices. You can convert. You can live as a 458 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: second class citizenship citizen and pay a fine, or you 459 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: can be killed. Pick one. Now, the good news is 460 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: that most of the world's over one point five billion 461 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: Muslims do not operate like that, do not practice that. 462 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: But if just a fraction does, we're talking about hundreds 463 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: of millions of people. I don't know what you do 464 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: about Hummas declaring their desire to eradicate all Jews everywhere, 465 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: referring to us as the big Satan and Israel as 466 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: a little Satan. What do you do about that? What 467 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: do you do about a regime like Iran that was 468 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: assembling nuclear capability until Trump set it back? Nothing, Cross 469 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: your fingers and hope for the best, or do something 470 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: about it. Obama said a nuclear armed Iran was unacceptable. 471 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: George W. Bush said it, Hillary Clinton said it. Trump 472 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: did something about it. But Trump's an evil guy, a 473 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: bad guy. As I was telling my liberal friend the 474 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: other day, I say, here, you are, in the comfort 475 00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: of your home up in Canada, away calling Trump everything 476 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: but a child of God, while he just took action 477 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: against Iran that made your life safer. Whether you appreciate 478 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: it or not, whether you know it or not, I 479 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: understand how and why Trump is a difficult man to like, 480 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: especially for people who believe that politicians should be paragons 481 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: of courtesy. I don't. I'm not voting for a fishing buddy. 482 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm not voting for pastor in chief. I'm voting for 483 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: somebody who will grow the economy, secure our borders, and 484 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: give us a strong national security defense, and recognize realistically 485 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: who our enemies are and do something about them before 486 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: they harm. That's what I want this business about. Who 487 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: would you rather have a beer with? First of all, 488 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't drink beer. Secondly, I couldn't care less. What 489 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: I care about is are you reducing the size of government, 490 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: allowing more money in the pockets of people, reducing regulations, 491 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: securing the borders, and governing as a commander in chief 492 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: of believes in peace through strength rather than the other 493 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: way around. Now, Relief Factor loves hearing from pain free customers. 494 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: Bill writes, I've been crawling under sinks, working long hours 495 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: for decades. My back and knees took punishment. I thought 496 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: pain was just part of the trade, but Relief Factor 497 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: surprised me. Within weeks, I was working without wincing. I 498 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: could get down on the floor and get back up 499 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: again without thinking twice. Bill knows hard work, knows pipes, 500 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: tools and long days on the job. But he didn't 501 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: know is how good life feels when the pain stops. 502 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: Tagging along. Relief Factor didn't change Bill's trade, it changed 503 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: his tomorrow. I've told you about my brother Kirk, who 504 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: followed my advice and then he was able to go 505 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: up and down the stairs in the morning without the 506 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: word back.

I'm 546 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 16: a retired marine. So I've been watching a lot of 547 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 16: YouTube and any other type of videos where people that 548 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 16: either left were there in Venezuela have said that there 549 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 16: are Russian troops, Chinese troops, and I don't know about Iran, 550 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 16: but there's somebody there in speaking for Iran. I guess 551 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 16: with the oil. 552 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, plus plus Cuban. My question is plus plus plus 553 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: Cuban troops. 554 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 16: Yeah, okay, So my question is one, is that that's true? 555 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 16: And then two, what do you think? Have you heard 556 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 16: anything about how they're going to handle this? I mean, 557 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 16: you have to almost put boots on the ground. 558 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, well, I've not heard anything about Chinese troops. 559 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: But I did hear that the people who were defending 560 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: Maduro his security detail, they were one hundred percent Cubans, 561 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: and that Cuba has essentially become has taken over Venezuela, 562 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: and Venezuela has become a client state of Cuba. There's 563 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: a tremendous Iranian influence. Whether Iranian troops are there, I 564 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 1: don't know, but I suspect if there are, a whole 565 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: lot of people are now going back home because they 566 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: are scared blankless of what Donald Trump is going to 567 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: do next, and he's not ruled out further military action. 568 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: By the way, Triple eight nine seventy one sage I'm lariode, 569 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: so let's get her teed up with that. Subde go. 570 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,439 Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one seven two four to three, 571 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: Triple eight ninety seven one s A g E. Larry Elders, 572 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: Salem News Channel. We're gonna talk about Senator Kennedy from 573 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: Louisiana blasting away at the Minnesota fraud, outlining exactly what happened. 574 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: Lawsuit says California's environmental policies played a huge role in 575 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: the Palisades fire, the fire that the lawsuit claims was avoidable, 576 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: all these deaths, seventeen thousand structures burned. Billionaire candidate for 577 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: governor of California says Bernie is right. We need Medicare 578 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 1: for all, also known as single payer, and a Minnesota 579 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: Hilton Hotel canceled reservations for ice A, all of this 580 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: and more triple eight nine seventy one sage. Now, before 581 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: we talk about what Senator Kennedy said about the Minnesota fraud, 582 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: I want to cardruple down on something I've been saying, 583 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: not just in the last few days, but over the 584 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: last few decades. We're talking about all this fraud, this 585 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: childcare stuff, this healthcare for indigen somalis, and this massive, 586 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: massive welfare state we have in America. The idea that 587 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: this is the federal government's job is a relatively new 588 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: phenomenon when you look at the history of this country. 589 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 1: Even as recently as twenty thirteen, according to the left 590 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 1: wing think tank the Brookings Institution, just forty two percent 591 00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: of Americans believed it was quote their responsibility of the 592 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: federal government to make sure all Americans have health care 593 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: coverage close quote. By the end of twenty twenty four, 594 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: roughly ten years later, the percentage who believe that it 595 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: is quote the responsibility of the federal government to make 596 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: sure all Americans have health care coverage had arisen to 597 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: sixty two percent. Well over ninety percent Democrats feel that way. 598 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: So think about that in twenty thirteen, forty two percent 599 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: of Americans thought it was a federal government's job to 600 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: make sure that everybody had health care coverage. Roughly eleven 601 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: years later, that number rises to sixty two percent. Now, 602 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: I have not seen any polls about how people felt 603 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, eighteen ten, eighteen twenty, eighteen thirty about a 604 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: similar question for other things that the needy might need, 605 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: whether it's health care, whether it's housing, whether it's shelter, 606 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 1: whether it's food. But my suspicion is that the percentage 607 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: of Americans who believe that it's the federal government's job 608 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: to do that probably was in that would have been 609 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: in the single digits. Why do I say that James 610 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: Madison is known as the father of the Constitution. He 611 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: opposed a bill in seventeen ninety two that would appropriate 612 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars for French refugees. Congress had passed that. 613 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: Madison said this, and I'm quoting him. I was there. 614 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article 615 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: of the Constitution which granted a right of Congress of expending, 616 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents with 617 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: respect to the words general welfare. I have always regarded 618 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: them as qualified by the detail of powers enumerated in 619 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: the Constitution. To take them in a literal and unlimited 620 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a 621 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: character which, there is a host of proofs, was not 622 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: contemplated by its creators. Close quote can't do it. The 623 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 1: Constitution sets forth the limited duties obligation to the federal government, 624 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: among them is not charity, said Madison, again, also known 625 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: as the father of the Constitution. Eighteen fifty four, President 626 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: Peers vetoed a bill to help the mentally ill. Can 627 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: you imagine some president vetoing a bill to help mentally 628 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: ill today? Here's what he said, quote, I cannot find 629 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 1: any authority in the Constitution for public charity. To prove 630 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: such spending would be contrary to the letter and the 631 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: spirit of the Constitution, and subversive to the whole theory 632 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: upon which the Union of these States is founded. Close 633 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: quote No, we can't do it, completely inconsistent with limited government. 634 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: Congress cannot take money out of the pockets of taxpayers 635 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: for a charitable reason that they deem to be appropriate. 636 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: Eighteen eighty seven, President Cleveland the only other president of 637 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,839 Speaker 1: the then President Trump to have two terms that were 638 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: non consecutive. He vetoed a bill to send money to 639 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: drought stricken counties in Texas. Can you imagine some presidents saying, 640 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to send money to a drought stricken area. 641 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland said this, and unquoting him, I feel obliged to 642 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,280 Speaker 1: withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent 643 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds. I 644 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: find no warrant for an appropriation in the Constitution end 645 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: of quote. And earlier, Jane Monroe, the president who did 646 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,919 Speaker 1: the Monroe Document doctrine. Fifth President Congress passed some money 647 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 1: to expand the Cumberland Road that would go through his 648 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: home state of Virginia and would benefit the home state 649 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: of Virginia. He cast one veto in his presidency and 650 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,919 Speaker 1: that was it. He said, yeah, I would benefit my state, 651 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: would benefit me. But where do I find the authority 652 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: to take money out of the pockets of the Americans 653 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: for the benefit of other Americans in other states? Vetoed. 654 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: My point is the Founding Fathers never ever ever envisioned 655 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: a government where we have FEMA, where we have Medicaid, 656 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: where we have Medicare, where we have Social Security, we 657 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: have all this stuff that we do something like eighty 658 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 1: sum odd anti poverty programs at the federal level, and 659 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: that doesn't include the ones at the state and local level. 660 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 1: I mentioned the summer that I work for the United 661 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: Way three months full time, the United Way of Cleveland. 662 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: That was what it's called a loaned executive, meaning that 663 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 1: they didn't pay me anything. My company, my law firm, 664 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: paid it paid my salary. And my job was to 665 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: meet with CEOs, tell them about the benefits of the 666 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: United Way and organize a presentation for their employees, which 667 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: I did. And my job was to try and raise 668 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: as much money as possible. And the United Way of 669 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: Cleveland was an umbrella organization, a nonprofit. They gave other 670 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: monies to other nonprofits much smaller, but there were conditions. 671 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 1: There were greed upon goals and standards to make sure 672 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: that the money was being spent. There were measurable achievements, 673 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,279 Speaker 1: so if the money was spent, if you didn't have 674 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: any positive achievement, positive benefit, they got cut off. And 675 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: these were programs for after school programs, for athletic programs, 676 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: various other charities. They had to apply rigorous screening process. 677 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: Money was monitored and if the nonprofit did not spend 678 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 1: the money wisely and effectively, they got cut off. That 679 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,399 Speaker 1: does not happen with the federal government. We've talked about 680 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: the book called Democracy in America written by a Frenchman 681 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: named Alexis de Tokville. He came to the country ostensibly 682 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: to study the prison system in America, but he w 683 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: wasn't around the country and he was just blown away 684 00:46:55,760 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: by what he saw were called mutual aid societies. And 685 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: these were nonprofit set up in the community for the 686 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,839 Speaker 1: benefit of the needy in that given community. And here's 687 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,239 Speaker 1: what he wrote in Democracy in America. Quote Americans of 688 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: all ages, all conditions, all minds, constantly unite. Americans use 689 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:24,720 Speaker 1: associations to fund seminaries, to build INDs, to raise churches, 690 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:32,280 Speaker 1: to distribute books, to send missionaries. They create hospitals, prisons, schools, 691 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: they associate end of quote. And then there's a question 692 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: about whether or not no questions asked, welfare benefits the 693 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: intended or does it create dependencies that brings us to 694 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 1: the amount of money that we're spending for somalis in Minnesota. 695 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 1: There was a study done by the Center for Immigration Studies. 696 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: Among the adult age Somalis working age who lived in 697 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: the country more than ten years, half couldn't speak English 698 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: very well. What is that? Is that helping them or 699 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: is that making them more dependent? Is that sapping their 700 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: initiative their work ethic? We're going to talk about what 701 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: Senator Kennedy said coming up Triple eight nine seven one 702 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 1: s A G E. I M. Larry Elder, do not 703 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: leave town? 704 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 17: What more? 705 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one s A G E. Triple 706 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four to three Larry Elder, 707 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 1: Salem NewsChannel. Another point about private charity. When I work 708 00:48:53,760 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: for United Way and I had my own instrum duction 709 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,399 Speaker 1: on learning about the organization so I could talk about 710 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: it intelligently, one of the things that was emphasized over 711 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: and over again is that donors were far more likely 712 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: to donate if they thought the money was being spent efficiently, effectively, 713 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: and if you thought the money was being misspent, far 714 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: less likely to donate, which pressured these organizations into producing results. Also, 715 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: when you have to go to a church, synagogue, private 716 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,799 Speaker 1: charity to ask for help, there's a sense of gratitude, 717 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 1: a sense of appreciation when the government hands you would check, 718 00:49:52,840 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: no questions asked. Where's the gratitude, where's the appreciation? All 719 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 1: this fraud going on in Minnesota it is now estimated 720 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 1: to be at eight or nine billion dollars, probably higher 721 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 1: than that. And Governor Tim Walls, who was running for 722 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 1: a third term, has now said he's no longer going 723 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 1: to run. He's blaming Trump. We'll talk about that later on. 724 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,240 Speaker 1: Here is Senator Kennedy number twelve. 725 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 9: Mister President. As you well know, the American people were 726 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 9: the most generous people in the entire world. In our country, 727 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 9: when you are hungry, we feed you. When you are homeless, 728 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 9: we house you. When you're too poor to be sick, 729 00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 9: we'll pay for your doctor. We spend trillions of dollars 730 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 9: a year helping our friends and neighbors who are less 731 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 9: fortunate than will and that's rare in this world. I've 732 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 9: been all over our wonderful world. You have too, mister President. 733 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 9: And in many countries, if you get down on your luck, 734 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 9: they'll let you die in a ditch. But not in America. 735 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 9: Not in America. We take care of our fellow citizens. 736 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 9: But it's expensive. We spend trillions of dollars a year 737 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 9: to do this, and that money that we spend didn't 738 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 9: just fall from heaven. We thank Heaven for it, but 739 00:51:53,800 --> 00:52:02,399 Speaker 9: it came out of taxpayers pockets, and we shouldn't lose 740 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:08,959 Speaker 9: sight of that fact. Mister pressed it now, That's why 741 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 9: I get so irritated, irritating the wrong word angry. When 742 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 9: I find out that people take advantage of the American 743 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 9: people's generosity. It makes me. It makes me want to 744 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 9: knee someone in the groin. It just makes me furious, 745 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 9: and I think the American taxpayers feel the same way. 746 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 9: What I'm about to tell you, mister President, let me 747 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 9: apologize in advance, is deeply disgusting. It's deeply disgusting. I mean, 748 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:57,720 Speaker 9: it is clown world on steroids. And when I first 749 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 9: read about this, mister President, I read it a second 750 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 9: time because I was I experienced slack jawed astonishment. And 751 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 9: when I read it the second time and I realized 752 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,720 Speaker 9: that it was true, I just wanted to run away, 753 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 9: screaming what am I talking about, mister President. We have discovered, 754 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 9: the federal federal prosecutors have discovered that for the last 755 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 9: five years, there has been massive welfare fraud in the 756 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 9: great state of Minnesota. Massive. Over a billion dollars of 757 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 9: American taxpayer money has been stolen, just stolen. They can 758 00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,320 Speaker 9: call it fraud, but a better term would be stealing. 759 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 9: And this fraud has been centered in the Somali community 760 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 9: in Minnesota. Now, I'm not here to criticize the Somali community. 761 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 9: I'm here simply to describe what happened. The Somali community 762 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 9: in Minneapolis is about eighty thousand people. They're centered around Minneapolis. 763 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 9: And let me say it again, I'm not here to 764 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 9: detegrate the Somali people or people of Somali ancestry just 765 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,840 Speaker 9: because of the actions of a few. But it is 766 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 9: a fact that this one billion dollars in welfare fraud 767 00:54:53,719 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 9: occurred almost exclusively in the Somali community in Minnesota and 768 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 9: was orchestrated by people with Somali ancestry. That's a fact. 769 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 9: Facts aren't racist, facts of facts. So far, fifty nine 770 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 9: people have been had been convicted, eighty six had been charged, 771 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 9: and seventy eight of them are of Somali ancestry. That's 772 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 9: just a fact. Now, what these criminals did was it 773 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:43,840 Speaker 9: was they had three very elaborate schemes. The first scheme 774 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 9: was centered on supposedly feeding hungry children in the Somali community. 775 00:55:53,600 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 9: A group a nonprofit run by some people with some ancestry. 776 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 9: The name of the nonprofit uh was was called Feed 777 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:15,839 Speaker 9: Feeding Our Future, Feeding our Future. Feeding our Future went 778 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 9: to the to the welfare authorities in the state of Minnesota, 779 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 9: which of course was administering federal taxpayer money, and they said, look, 780 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 9: feeding our Feeding our Children said, Feeding our Future said, 781 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 9: we want to feed hungry children in the Somali community, 782 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 9: and the welfare people in state government in Minnesota gave 783 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 9: them the money to do that. It started out very small, 784 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 9: but the idea was that that Feeding the Future, the 785 00:56:55,360 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 9: the Somali nonprofit organization, would take this federal taxpayer money, 786 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 9: American taxpayer money and go to businesses. 787 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 1: Most of more on what Senator Kennedy said about Somali 788 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,040 Speaker 1: fraud and theft. When we come back, triple eight nine 789 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 1: seven one seven two four. 790 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 9: Three five, John sal. 791 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:25,280 Speaker 18: I said, you could be done. 792 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 19: I do in mind. 793 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 1: Come in late night in the morning. I just triple 794 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,120 Speaker 1: eight nineteven one s a g E. Triple eight nine 795 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: seven one seven two four to three Larry Elders sail 796 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,480 Speaker 1: in this channel, we're talking about Somali fraud with much 797 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 1: larger we're talking about why the government is in the 798 00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 1: business of welfare in the first place. Before going back 799 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 1: to Senator Kennedy, I mentioned earlier about dependency. Lennon Johnson, 800 00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:03,160 Speaker 1: of course, launched the graces in the sixties, and since then, 801 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 1: the percentage of kids who ended the world without a 802 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: father in the home merit of mother has skyrocketed, not 803 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 1: just in the Black community, but also in the white community. 804 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 1: And what the Gray Society did was to incentivize women 805 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 1: to marry the government, as I said many times, and 806 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 1: to incentivize men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility. 807 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 1: What do you think will be the effect of all 808 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 1: this welfare in the Somali community, five, ten, fifteen, twenty 809 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: years down the road. Right now, more than half of 810 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 1: children of Somali immigrants live in poverty versus only eight 811 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 1: percent of the native Minnesota population. Thirty nine percent of 812 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 1: working age Somalis have no high school diploma compared to 813 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: just five percent of Natives. And as I mentioned earlier, 814 00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: among working age adult Somalis, we have lived here for 815 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 1: more than ten years, half cannot speak English very well. 816 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,240 Speaker 1: Do you think this no question to ask fraud written 817 00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 1: welfare will and sentivise Somali's to be more self sufficient 818 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 1: to improve their educational skills or will it make them 819 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:27,360 Speaker 1: more dependent less productive? Back to Senator Kennedy. 820 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 9: Gave them the money to do that. It started out 821 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 9: very small, but the idea was that feeding the future 822 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 9: the Somali nonprofit organization would take this federal taxpayer money, 823 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 9: American taxpayer money and go to businesses, most of which 824 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 9: were Somali businesses in the Somali community and set up 825 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 9: feeding sites where they supposedly would take children to get 826 00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:06,800 Speaker 9: at meal on on paper, it sounded great. As I say, 827 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:13,080 Speaker 9: it started out very very small, just a few a 828 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:19,680 Speaker 9: few million dollars, but eventually it got bigger and bigger 829 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 9: and bigger and more businesses in the Somali community signed 830 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 9: up to be feeding sites and feeding our future. The 831 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 9: Somali nonprofit kept going back to the Social Services Department 832 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 9: in Minnesota saying we need more money, we need more money. 833 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 9: And at the height of the fraud of the fraud, 834 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 9: they were spending about one hundred million dollars a year, 835 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 9: not not over the lifetime of the program under a 836 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 9: million dollars a year. There's just one problem. There were 837 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 9: there were no home children. They were hungry children. They 838 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 9: just weren't getting any of the money. And the the 839 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 9: the businesses, many of which were some oddly owned, which 840 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 9: were getting some money to feed the children from from 841 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 9: Feeding our Future, the nonprofit that was quarterbacking this whole thing. Uh, 842 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 9: they weren't. They weren't giving any of the money to 843 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 9: hungry children. They were spending it. These businesses were spending 844 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 9: it on yachts and vacations and jewelry and and and 845 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 9: furniture for their home. That was scheme number one, but 846 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:54,080 Speaker 9: it got worse. The second scheme was supposedly, uh, to 847 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:58,240 Speaker 9: help people who are homeless. Remember I said in America, 848 01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 9: when when, when, when you're homeless, will house you? Well 849 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 9: that's what they were trying to do. In Minnesota, a 850 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:15,000 Speaker 9: nonprofit was set up, a game run by someone of 851 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 9: Somali ancestry. And this nonprofit went to a bunch of 852 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:26,919 Speaker 9: providers who supposedly were going to provide housing and they 853 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 9: told the welfare authorities in Minnesota that they needed millions 854 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:36,560 Speaker 9: of dollars to house people who were homeless, and once again, 855 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,200 Speaker 9: the program started out small when they started it in 856 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 9: twenty and twenty. These crooks started it in twenty and twenty. 857 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,240 Speaker 9: They said, well, only need two point six million dollars, 858 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,440 Speaker 9: but then in twenty and twenty one they said, we 859 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,360 Speaker 9: need twenty one million dollars more. 860 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 1: From Senator Kennedy, when we returned Triple eight nine seven 861 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 1: one seven two four three Triple eight nine seven one 862 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 1: s a g E.

That's Relief Factor dot Com. I want to 871 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:46,919 Speaker 1: emphasize something that Kennedy said earlier. He said it quickly, 872 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 1: he didn't elaborate. Americans are the most generous people on 873 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 1: the faces of the earth than we are. You look 874 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: at what the Japanese give the charity, the Germans to 875 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 1: give the charity, the Britgs give the charity. We give 876 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:06,360 Speaker 1: more during the Great Depression. During the Great Depression, before 877 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,360 Speaker 1: we had all this welfare step, before the New Deal 878 01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 1: kicked in, charitable giving skyrocketed. And after FDR announced all 879 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 1: these New Deal programs, charita continued to go up, but 880 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 1: not to the same rate, not to the same degree. 881 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: People felt that they'd given at the office. So it 882 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:34,520 Speaker 1: diminished the willingness of people to donate to charity, handing 883 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 1: over the responsibility to the federal government, which by definition 884 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 1: is less efficient, less effective. Again, as Milton Friedman said, 885 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 1: four ways of spending money, the least deficient is somebody 886 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,880 Speaker 1: else's money on somebody else, which is exactly what this 887 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:57,680 Speaker 1: Smaali stuff was. Back to Kennedy. 888 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,520 Speaker 9: Started it in twenty twenty, they said we only need 889 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 9: two point six million dollars. But then in twenty and 890 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 9: twenty one they said we need twenty one million dollars, 891 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:13,080 Speaker 9: and in the following years they said we need forty 892 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 9: two million dollars. The next year, then seventy four million 893 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 9: dollars to feed or rather to house the homeless, than 894 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:26,360 Speaker 9: one hundred and four million dollars a year, not the 895 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 9: total scheme a year. It's this one problem. None of 896 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 9: the money was going for housing. None of the money 897 01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:43,400 Speaker 9: was going to help people who were homeless. These providers 898 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 9: and this nonprofit that was coordinating it just put the 899 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 9: money in their pocket. But there's more. They came up 900 01:05:54,080 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 9: with a third scheme. This one is this one. This 901 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,920 Speaker 9: one makes you want to throw up on a potted plant. 902 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:17,960 Speaker 9: This one centered around autistic children once again. In this third. 903 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:26,480 Speaker 21: Program, a group group of of of providers, supposedly medical providers, 904 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,440 Speaker 21: got together and they went to the welfare authorities in 905 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 21: Minnesota and said, we need money to help autistic children. 906 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 9: You said, well, that's a wonderful thing to do. And 907 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 9: then these providers, once the welfare department and at the 908 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 9: state government in Minnesota gave them the okay, they went 909 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 9: out and started recruiting autistic children. He said, well, okay, 910 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 9: we have to get the word out somehow. But they 911 01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 9: couldn't find very many autistic children. So they started going 912 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 9: to parents in the Somali community and saying, can we 913 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:13,439 Speaker 9: call your child autistic? Can we certify that your child 914 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 9: is autistic? If you'll let us do that, we'll pay 915 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 9: you a bribe anywhere from four hundred dollars to fifteen 916 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:30,360 Speaker 9: hundred dollars a child. Now once again the program it 917 01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:38,680 Speaker 9: didn't start spit big. These were sophisticated crooks and its 918 01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 9: leader was a woman by the name of Asha farbond Hassan. 919 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 9: She was also in by the way, on the feeding 920 01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 9: of the children scam as well. And it is best 921 01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 9: we can tell. They approach parents only in the Somali community. 922 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 9: Once again, they couldn't find enough autistic children, so they 923 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 9: bribed the many parents in the community, gave them money 924 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:17,559 Speaker 9: to what to certify that their children were autistic. In 925 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 9: the first year, they only they were clever. They only 926 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:25,639 Speaker 9: asked for three million dollars. The second year in twenty nineteen, 927 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 9: they asked for fifty four million dollars. Then in twenty 928 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:35,120 Speaker 9: twenty they went up to seventy seven million dollars, and 929 01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 9: then in twenty twenty one they really got greedy. They 930 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 9: went to one hundred and eighty three million dollars, and 931 01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 9: in twenty two two hundred and eighty million dollars and 932 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:51,200 Speaker 9: in two thousand and twenty three four hundred million dollars. 933 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:59,440 Speaker 9: All total. In these three fraud schemes, these crooks stoled 934 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 9: one billion dollars of taxpayer money and as the work 935 01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,679 Speaker 9: the the well I started to say the worst part, 936 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 9: but let me amend it equally bad part. You say, well, well, hello, 937 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 9: how could this happen? Why isn't the people in the 938 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 9: Department of Social Services and the Welfare department in state government, 939 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,320 Speaker 9: when they saw these claims arising? Why why didn't they 940 01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,120 Speaker 9: say something? Didn't they go out and check these businesses 941 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,839 Speaker 9: that were supposedly sites to feed homeless children? 942 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:39,519 Speaker 6: Uh? 943 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,280 Speaker 9: Didn't they go go uh talk to some of the 944 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,320 Speaker 9: children and their parents to see if some of the 945 01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 9: children really were autistic? Didn't didn't the state authorities go 946 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,320 Speaker 9: out and say, can you show us one of the 947 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 9: homes that you're providing to the homeless people, after all, 948 01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:02,640 Speaker 9: was spending a billion dollars. They didn't because the politicians 949 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:09,040 Speaker 9: wouldn't let them. And and the crooks who were setting 950 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 9: all this up, they're pretty smart. I'll give you one example. 951 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:20,360 Speaker 9: Remember I talked about the nonprofit involved in feeding the 952 01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 9: so called hungry children called Feeding the Future. The rank 953 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 9: and foul employees and the welfare office started getting suspicious 954 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,720 Speaker 9: when the claims went up, and they contacted Feeding our 955 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 9: Future and they said, hey, what's going on here? You 956 01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,680 Speaker 9: know we're gonna start cutting off these claims because it's 957 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 9: getting a little bit bit expensive, and you know what, 958 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:57,679 Speaker 9: feeding our future did. They threatened the employees. They said, 959 01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 9: if you, if you cut off our money. 960 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 1: This was several days ago. Since san the estimated amount 961 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,599 Speaker 1: of fraud has risen from one billion to eight to 962 01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 1: nine billion dollars. Now. Relief Factor loves hearing from pain 963 01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:14,639 Speaker 1: free customers and hopes we can help you next. Here's 964 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,920 Speaker 1: what Bill says. I've been crawling under sinks and working 965 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,440 Speaker 1: long hours for decades.

Within weeks, I was working without wincing. 968 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:30,800 Speaker 1: I could get down on the floor and get back 969 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:34,160 Speaker 1: up again without thinking twice. End of quote. Bill knows 970 01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 1: hard work, knows pipes, tools and long days on the job. 971 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 1: What he didn't know is how good life feels when 972 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:44,759 Speaker 1: pain stops tagging along. Relief Factor didn't change Bill's trade, 973 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 1: it changed his tomorrow.

Since then, the estimate has 983 01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,599 Speaker 1: gone from one billion stolen eight or nine billion stolen. 984 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 1: We're going to finish his statement, and then the next 985 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 1: hour we're going to talk about the big article in 986 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:43,760 Speaker 1: City Journal about whether the environmental rules in California could 987 01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:49,120 Speaker 1: it prevented the massive, massive Palisades fire. The concern about 988 01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:57,439 Speaker 1: preserving archaeological sites and economically ecologically important plants might very 989 01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,439 Speaker 1: well have been the primary reason that the Palisades fire 990 01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 1: took place. But first back to Sanata, Canaedy. 991 01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,639 Speaker 9: They sent them an email and they did it by phone. 992 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:13,599 Speaker 9: They told the state agency that failing to promptly approve 993 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 9: new applicants from minority owned businesses would result in a lawsuit, 994 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 9: a lawsuit feeding accusations of racism that would be scrawled 995 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 9: across the news, Sprawled across the news, feeding feeding our futures. 996 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,679 Speaker 9: Went to the state and said, if you stop giving 997 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 9: us this money, we're going to call you racist and 998 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 9: we're going to sue you. And you don't want to 999 01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:52,519 Speaker 9: be in the news.

They did, They told 1001 01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,680 Speaker 9: the people higher up, the people with the flags in 1002 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 9: their office, and you know what, they did nothing. You 1003 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 9: know why, Well, here's what the legislative auditor in Minnesota said. 1004 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 9: He said that the threat of litigation and the negative 1005 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:22,120 Speaker 9: press affected how the state politicians used their regulatory power. 1006 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 9: And here's what a fraud investigator in the Attorney General's 1007 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:33,519 Speaker 9: office said. She said, there is a perception that I'm 1008 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 9: quoting now that forcefully tackling tackling this issue would cause 1009 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 9: political backlash from the Somali community, which is a core 1010 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 9: voting block for Democrats. And in fact, one of one 1011 01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 9: of the other witnesses and the fraud investigation said, look, 1012 01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,040 Speaker 9: total prosecutors, let me just give you a cold dish 1013 01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 9: of truth. The eighty thousand voting block of folks with 1014 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,760 Speaker 9: Somali ancestry. You gotta have their votes to win in Minneapolis. 1015 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,720 Speaker 9: And if you're a Democrat. You can't win Minneapolis, you 1016 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:26,879 Speaker 9: can't win in the state. So the politicians did nothing. 1017 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,040 Speaker 9: Don't just take my word for it, and don't blame them. 1018 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,120 Speaker 9: The state employees, they tried. 1019 01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,400 Speaker 1: When we come back, more on tender to Kennedy. It 1020 01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:44,599 Speaker 1: is the year anniversary of the LA wildfires. Could the biggest, 1021 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,839 Speaker 1: most deadly one been avoided?

It is the first anniversary of the La wildfires. 1027 01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 1: There's a massive lawsuit that claims California's environmental rules and 1028 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:25,240 Speaker 1: policies are responsible for the Pacific Palisades fire. All of 1029 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:30,880 Speaker 1: that and more. Here is the rest of Senator Kennedy. 1030 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 9: The eighty thousand voting block of folks with Somali ancestry. 1031 01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,160 Speaker 9: You got to have their votes to win in Minneapolis. 1032 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 9: And if you're a Democrat, you can't win Minneapolis. You 1033 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:50,879 Speaker 9: can't win in the state. So the politicians did nothing. 1034 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:58,000 Speaker 9: Don't just take my word for and don't blame them. 1035 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:03,800 Speaker 9: The state employees they try. In fact, recently the state 1036 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 9: employees they just said, look, we've had enough. They posted this. 1037 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 9: These are over several hundred employees from the Minnesota Department 1038 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 9: of Human Service who administered this program, who just get 1039 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 9: up every day and go to work and do their 1040 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,639 Speaker 9: job and want to help people. This is what they 1041 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:34,879 Speaker 9: posted on social media. I'm quoting down, mister President. Governor 1042 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 9: Tim Walls is one hundred percent responsible for massive fraud 1043 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 9: in Minnesota. I'm sure he wasn't the only one, because 1044 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 9: this fraud was an open secret, but I'm quoting from 1045 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 9: what the employee said. Governor Tim Wallas is one hundred 1046 01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:58,200 Speaker 9: percent responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim 1047 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:05,839 Speaker 9: Walts know of fraud early on, said employees talking, hoping 1048 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 9: for a partnership and stopping fraud. But no, we got 1049 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 9: the opposite response. Tim Waltz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers, using monitoring, 1050 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:27,640 Speaker 9: using threats, using repression, and did his best to discredit 1051 01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 9: fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight 1052 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:44,680 Speaker 9: of retaliation by Tim Walls and an indifferent mainstream media. 1053 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:52,360 Speaker 9: It's scary, isolating, and left us wondering who we can 1054 01:18:53,080 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 9: return to. And now there are reports coming out, mister President. 1055 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 9: I don't know if they're true, but I know the 1056 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:08,479 Speaker 9: prosecutors are desperately trying to get the bottom up. And 1057 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 9: I don't want to say that this is true, but 1058 01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:16,479 Speaker 9: a report came out in a publication called Senate City Journal, 1059 01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:21,320 Speaker 9: which is published by the Manhattan Institute, and they are 1060 01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 9: alleging that money, part of this billion dollars that was stolen. 1061 01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 9: They are alleging that at least a portion of it 1062 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 9: went to a terrorist organization in Somalia that we've all 1063 01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:43,600 Speaker 9: heard of. It's notorious. It's an organization called Al Shabab. 1064 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 9: They hate Americans, they're terrorists. They want to kill Americans 1065 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,760 Speaker 9: and drink their blood out of a boot. They were 1066 01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:59,439 Speaker 9: taking a cut according to this claim. Again, I don't 1067 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 9: know if it's t true, but the prosecutor prosecutors are 1068 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 9: trying to get to the bottom of it. Now, there's 1069 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 9: been a lot of allegations about racism in these reports. 1070 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,599 Speaker 9: They're saying, oh, you're just picking on the Somali community. 1071 01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:28,040 Speaker 9: I'm not, and I don't think the American people are. 1072 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:33,519 Speaker 9: I think what they're picking on the crooks, they're picking 1073 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:38,639 Speaker 9: on crooks. What everything I just gave you facts, mister President, 1074 01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:42,680 Speaker 9: has nothing to do with race. But it is a 1075 01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:47,440 Speaker 9: fact that this one these one billion dollar script schemes 1076 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 9: were cooked up by leaders in the Somali community in 1077 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:59,400 Speaker 9: Minneapolis and in Minnesota. And it is a fact that 1078 01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 9: most of the businesses that participated in this fraud and 1079 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 9: this thievery were run by people of Somali ancestry. I'm 1080 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,800 Speaker 9: not saying that's a good thing. I'm gonna send some 1081 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 9: bat That's just a fact, and I don't think we 1082 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 9: ought not to talk about it. And it is a 1083 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 9: fact that the kickbacks paid to parents to allow their 1084 01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 9: children to be signed up as autistic in order to 1085 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:34,360 Speaker 9: get the federal taxpayer money, the parents were of Somali ancestry. 1086 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:38,600 Speaker 9: It doesn't give me any pleasure to say that, but 1087 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,920 Speaker 9: it is a fact. And it is a fact that 1088 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 9: the politicians, not the employees, the rank and file employees 1089 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:51,559 Speaker 9: and the welfare officers, but the politicians in Minnesota let 1090 01:21:51,600 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 9: this happen. It is disgusting, mister President, disgusting. We're trying 1091 01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:06,840 Speaker 9: to put together a budget right now, and we've got 1092 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:12,280 Speaker 9: state officials in Minnesota because they wanted votes that are 1093 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:16,320 Speaker 9: allowing people and their state who were cruks to steal 1094 01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 9: one billion dollars from the American taxpayer, money that could 1095 01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:24,439 Speaker 9: have gone to people who really were homeless, and children 1096 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:28,000 Speaker 9: who really were hungry, and kids who threw no fault 1097 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,920 Speaker 9: of their own, really were autistic, instead of stolen a 1098 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:36,040 Speaker 9: portion of which allegedly was sent to a terrorist organization 1099 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:43,519 Speaker 9: in Somalia. Man, these people ought to all be put 1100 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:50,120 Speaker 9: in jail, including the politicians. Makes me want to stick 1101 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 9: my head in another. 1102 01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:59,599 Speaker 1: Back in November, elin Omar attacked Trump because Trump dared 1103 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,960 Speaker 1: to size the fraud taking place in the Somali community. 1104 01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:03,799 Speaker 1: Number fourteen. 1105 01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:11,240 Speaker 19: What we also know is that there is not a 1106 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 19: single evidence that the President or his conies have put 1107 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:22,080 Speaker 19: forth that there are any single resource from taxpayers in 1108 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:28,439 Speaker 19: Minnesota that has gone to aid and obey terrorism. That 1109 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:34,440 Speaker 19: language is dangerous. That language puts the lives of Somali's 1110 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,360 Speaker 19: not only in Minnesota but across the country in danger. 1111 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,400 Speaker 1: But a month later she changed her tune. 1112 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 12: Number fifteen, who has tax dollars is being sent to 1113 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:53,320 Speaker 12: help with terrorism in Somalia? We want to know, and 1114 01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,479 Speaker 12: we want those people prosecuted, and we want to make 1115 01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:58,519 Speaker 12: sure that that doesn't ever happen again. 1116 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,200 Speaker 1: So went from there's no evidence to we want to 1117 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:06,759 Speaker 1: know those people to be prosecuted. Tim Walls, after announcing 1118 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,479 Speaker 1: he was not going to run for a third term 1119 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:13,880 Speaker 1: because of the Somali fraud, of course, attacked Trump number twenty. 1120 01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,080 Speaker 22: I don't want to mince words here. Donald Trump and 1121 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,280 Speaker 22: his allies in Washington and in Saint Paul and online 1122 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,840 Speaker 22: want to make our state a colder, meaner place. They 1123 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:27,240 Speaker 22: want to poison our people against each other by attacking 1124 01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:30,639 Speaker 22: our neighbors, and ultimately they want to take away much 1125 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 22: of what makes Minnesota the best place in the country 1126 01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 22: to raise a family. They've already begun trying to withhold 1127 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,720 Speaker 22: funds that were meant to help families afford childcare, and 1128 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,960 Speaker 22: they have no intention of stopping there. Make no mistake, 1129 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:48,360 Speaker 22: we should be concerned about fraud in our state government. 1130 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:52,719 Speaker 22: We cannot effectively deliver programs and services if we can't 1131 01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:53,839 Speaker 22: earn the public's trust. 1132 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:59,160 Speaker 1: Now, he did not mention Nick Shirley, the independent journalists 1133 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 1: that embarrassed everybody by name, but that's who we met. 1134 01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 1: Number twenty one. 1135 01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 23: We've got conspiracy theorists, right wing YouTubers breaking into our daycares, 1136 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 23: demanding access to our children. We've got the president of 1137 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:21,920 Speaker 23: the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating 1138 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,000 Speaker 23: funds that Minnesotans rely on. 1139 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,840 Speaker 9: It's disgusting and it's dangerous. 1140 01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:35,599 Speaker 1: And while we're talking about hypocrisy, this is President Joe 1141 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,760 Speaker 1: Biden in twenty twenty four explaining why the border is 1142 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,200 Speaker 1: not secure and blaming it, of course, on you know who, 1143 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 1: number thirty six. 1144 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,240 Speaker 9: Every day between now and November, the American people are 1145 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 9: going to know that the only reason the border is 1146 01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:56,840 Speaker 9: not secure is Donald Trump and as Magai Republican friends. 1147 01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 1: That is not Warren Well here reads. The border is 1148 01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,799 Speaker 1: not secured is Donald Trump and his Maga Republican friends. 1149 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,960 Speaker 1: The man returns to office in one month. Border is 1150 01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:16,120 Speaker 1: secured by Donald Trump and his Maga Republican friends. We 1151 01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:21,599 Speaker 1: come back. Was the Pacific Palisades Fire entirely avoidable? Triple 1152 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 1: eight nine seven one s A g E. I Am 1153 01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:31,080 Speaker 1: Larry Elder, do not leave town? Triple eight nine seven 1154 01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,240 Speaker 1: one sage triple eight nine seven one seven two four 1155 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:36,120 Speaker 1: to three Larry Elder sail on the news channel. It 1156 01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,760 Speaker 1: is the first year anniversary, if you want to call 1157 01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:42,120 Speaker 1: it that, of the LA Fires. Now, there's a long 1158 01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:47,160 Speaker 1: article about the mistakes were made, bad policy that resulted 1159 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:56,280 Speaker 1: in the Palisades Fire, seven thousand structures, destroy twenty three 1160 01:26:56,280 --> 01:27:03,280 Speaker 1: thousand acres, the deaths. The article is in the City Journal, 1161 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:08,760 Speaker 1: published by the Manhattan Institute. That's the publication that John 1162 01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 1: Kennedy just referred to. It's a conservative publication, so let's 1163 01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:15,320 Speaker 1: ignore that for now. I'm holding in my baby brown 1164 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,080 Speaker 1: libertarian fingers an article from the Los Angeles Times, which 1165 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:23,439 Speaker 1: is by no means conservative, and the very fact that 1166 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 1: this is in the LA Times is pretty stunning. The 1167 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 1: newspaper that endorsed the candidacy of Karen Bass, endorsed the 1168 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:40,639 Speaker 1: candidacy of Gavin Newsom opposed to recall headline LA Fire 1169 01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 1: Department leaders tried to cover up Palisades fire mistakes. The 1170 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:52,400 Speaker 1: truth still emerged. That's a headline. LA Fire Department leaders 1171 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 1: tried to cover up Pacific Palisades fire mistakes. The truth 1172 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:03,559 Speaker 1: still emerged. Very very long article. Only have time for 1173 01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 1: some excerpts. Quote. LAFD leaders have engaged in a campaign 1174 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:15,360 Speaker 1: of secrecy and deflection to avoid taking full responsibility for 1175 01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:21,320 Speaker 1: their mistakes in the January seven fire. With the first 1176 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 1: anniversary of the fire a week away, questions about the 1177 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:30,640 Speaker 1: missteps in the firefight remains largely unanswered by LAFD and 1178 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 1: Mayor Karen Bass Again, this is a paper that endorsed her. 1179 01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:44,840 Speaker 1: Listen to this. Pacific Palisades have been burning for less 1180 01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,439 Speaker 1: than two hours when word raced through the ranks of 1181 01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:52,920 Speaker 1: the LAFD that the agency's leaders had failed to pre 1182 01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,759 Speaker 1: deploy any extra engines and crews to the area despite 1183 01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 1: pointings of life threatening winds. The LAFD writes the La 1184 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,640 Speaker 1: Times has stopped granting interviews. Ramps in questions for The 1185 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:12,439 Speaker 1: Times about the matter, wonder why are you familiar with 1186 01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:20,880 Speaker 1: the Lochman fire? La C H M A N. Shortly 1187 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 1: after midnight on New Year's Day year ago, a man 1188 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:29,720 Speaker 1: watched flames spread in the distant hills and called nine 1189 01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:34,880 Speaker 1: to one. One very top of Lochman is where we are. 1190 01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:39,280 Speaker 1: He told the dispatcher. It's pretty small, but it's still 1191 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,240 Speaker 1: at the very top and it's growing. Referring to the fire, 1192 01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:49,000 Speaker 1: dispatcher responded, help is on the way. LA Times continues 1193 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:53,320 Speaker 1: A few hours later, at four forty two. Four forty 1194 01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 1: six am, the LAFD announced that the blades, which later 1195 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:01,240 Speaker 1: became known as the Lochman Fire, was fully contained at 1196 01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 1: eight acres. Top fire commanders soon made plans to finish 1197 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,320 Speaker 1: mopping up the scene and to leave with their equipment, 1198 01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 1: but firefighters who returned the next day complained to the 1199 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:23,720 Speaker 1: battalion chief that the ground was still smoldering and rock 1200 01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:32,000 Speaker 1: still felt too hot to touch, but the chief ordered 1201 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:36,400 Speaker 1: them to roll up their hoses and leave. The battalion chief. 1202 01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:44,640 Speaker 1: Five days after that, the morning of January seventh, an 1203 01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:49,080 Speaker 1: LAFD captain called fire Station twenty three with an urgent 1204 01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:56,800 Speaker 1: message the Lochman Fire had started up again. LAFD officials 1205 01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:01,320 Speaker 1: were emphatic early on that the Lochman Fire was fully extinguished, 1206 01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:05,400 Speaker 1: but both inside and outside the department many were certain 1207 01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:18,280 Speaker 1: it had rekindled. In the after action report that was 1208 01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:22,800 Speaker 1: ordered by the mayor, it contained only a brief mention 1209 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,320 Speaker 1: of the Lochman Fire. I'll tell you more about the 1210 01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:31,439 Speaker 1: Lockman Fire when we talk about the city journal magazine 1211 01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:38,280 Speaker 1: La Times talks about no pre deployment, massive mistake, life threatening, 1212 01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:43,519 Speaker 1: destructive windstorm coming in the past. The LAFD readied for 1213 01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:48,400 Speaker 1: powerful windstorms by pre deploying large numbers of engines and 1214 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:55,839 Speaker 1: crews to the areas most at risk, in some cases 1215 01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:59,040 Speaker 1: requiring a shift of hundreds of firefighters to stay for 1216 01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:03,559 Speaker 1: a second shift to ensure there was enough personnel to 1217 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:08,840 Speaker 1: attack a major blaze. None of that happened in the Palisades, 1218 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,040 Speaker 1: with its hilly terrain covered in bone dry brush, even 1219 01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:15,960 Speaker 1: though the Weather Service had flagged it as one of 1220 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,519 Speaker 1: the regions at extreme risk. Again, this is the early 1221 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:28,000 Speaker 1: time saying this. Without pre deployment, just eighteen firefighters were 1222 01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:33,840 Speaker 1: on duty, LAFD commanders decided to staff only five of 1223 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 1: the more forty engines available. On January sixth, officials decided 1224 01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:50,400 Speaker 1: to pre deploy just nine engines to high risk areas, 1225 01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:55,400 Speaker 1: adding eight more of the following morning, none of which 1226 01:32:55,720 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 1: were sent to the Palisades. Now, let's talk about this 1227 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:06,439 Speaker 1: after action report. In March, writes the La Times, a 1228 01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:10,680 Speaker 1: working group was formed inside the LAFD to prepare the 1229 01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:18,839 Speaker 1: Palisades fire after action report, but there was all sorts 1230 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:27,840 Speaker 1: of interference, deletions, minimization. Captain Harold Kim wrote to the 1231 01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:31,959 Speaker 1: battalion chief, I am concerned about the interference from outside 1232 01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 1: entities that may attempt to influence the direction of report takes. 1233 01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:43,160 Speaker 1: LA Times writes as a report got closer to completion, 1234 01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:49,000 Speaker 1: LAFD officials worried about how it would be received, privately 1235 01:33:49,040 --> 01:34:00,920 Speaker 1: formed a second group for crisis management, basically to minimize news. 1236 01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,960 Speaker 1: LA Times continues. Over the next two months, the report 1237 01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:13,000 Speaker 1: went through a series of edits behind closed doors. Final report, 1238 01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:17,559 Speaker 1: very different than the initial one, said the pre deployment 1239 01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:24,000 Speaker 1: measures went above and beyond the standard practice, clearly untrue. 1240 01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:33,680 Speaker 1: Former la FD assistant said, when deception is normalized, it 1241 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 1: normalizes operational failure and puts people at risk. Ind of Cote. Now, 1242 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you about the Lockman fire when 1243 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:43,680 Speaker 1: we come back. This is very important.

That's reliefactor dot com. 1256 01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:24,280 Speaker 1: Now let's turn to the long article in the City 1257 01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:29,559 Speaker 1: Journal again. I'll just reach you certain excerpts, and it's 1258 01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:40,280 Speaker 1: about the lochmanfire when that was supposedly fully contained eight 1259 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:45,400 Speaker 1: acres as opposed to the twenty three thousand acres that 1260 01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:58,479 Speaker 1: were burned, sixty eight hundred structures, destroyed, twelve people, LA's 1261 01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:02,200 Speaker 1: worst urban wildfire catastrophe. I'm referring to the Palisades fire. 1262 01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 1: And the article talks about the various things that were 1263 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:09,680 Speaker 1: not done, some of which we talked about a moment ago. 1264 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:15,040 Speaker 1: Dry fire hydrants the dry reservoir for over a year, 1265 01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:23,599 Speaker 1: the failed to deploy personnel fire trucks. But something often 1266 01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:29,479 Speaker 1: overlooked is the reason that this Lockman fire erupted again 1267 01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:37,200 Speaker 1: and widespread. The normal kind of fire suppressman tactics, clearing 1268 01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:42,880 Speaker 1: brush control burns were not done in this area. Why 1269 01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:50,719 Speaker 1: to protect quote sensitive natural and cultural resources, including endangered plants, 1270 01:36:51,880 --> 01:37:03,080 Speaker 1: Native American archaeological sites quote. This allowed nearly a half 1271 01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:10,240 Speaker 1: century of accumulated vegetation that provided fuel for the fire. 1272 01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:18,360 Speaker 1: One of the litigants in the lawsuits says that essentially 1273 01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:25,600 Speaker 1: what California did was put plants over people. In October, 1274 01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:30,439 Speaker 1: a federal investigation confirmed that the Palisades fire was not 1275 01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 1: a new ignition, but a holdover fire from the Lockman fire. 1276 01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:43,400 Speaker 1: For six days. According to the FEDS, the fire smoldered 1277 01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:48,440 Speaker 1: underground in the root systems of the park's dense vegetation. 1278 01:37:54,320 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 1: The warnings were there. Firefighters on the scene express concern 1279 01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:06,160 Speaker 1: that the fire remained active. Nevertheless, the firefighters were ordered 1280 01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:11,320 Speaker 1: to leave the smoldering burn, even as weather forecasters talked 1281 01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:15,559 Speaker 1: about these winds we talked about earlier. Quote, why were 1282 01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:18,559 Speaker 1: firefighters pulled off of a fire that was still visibly 1283 01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:22,639 Speaker 1: smoldering and why did no one monitor the burned scar 1284 01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:28,879 Speaker 1: as dangerous fire conditions approached. New evidence from the lawsuit 1285 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:33,479 Speaker 1: and public records provide the answer, one that comes directly 1286 01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:39,240 Speaker 1: from fire to California State Parks policy. In November twenty 1287 01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:43,639 Speaker 1: twenty four, just weeks before the Polisads fire, California State 1288 01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:50,880 Speaker 1: Parks completed a draft wildfire management plan for Topanga State Park. 1289 01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:57,120 Speaker 1: Thereby reveals a system of policies and maps designed to 1290 01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 1: restrict firefighting operations to protect sensitive and cultural natural resources. 1291 01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,519 Speaker 1: Designated large areas as so called avoidance areas, where normal 1292 01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:17,640 Speaker 1: firefighting tactics would be restricted. No heavy equipment, no vehicles, 1293 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:30,160 Speaker 1: no retardant allowed. When a State Parks employee texted the 1294 01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 1: lafd's heavy equipment supervisor to ask its crew about the 1295 01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:37,880 Speaker 1: Lockman fire, should respond to it. The supervisor responded, and 1296 01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:42,599 Speaker 1: I'm quoting the supervisor, heck, no, that area is full 1297 01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:46,280 Speaker 1: of endangered plants. I would be a real idiot to 1298 01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,200 Speaker 1: ever put a dozer in that area. I'm so trained. 1299 01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:57,200 Speaker 1: Close quote. This deference to environmental restrictions will established, according 1300 01:39:57,240 --> 01:40:04,800 Speaker 1: to retired LAFD Battalion chief my castile quote, there's an 1301 01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:08,760 Speaker 1: understanding that this is an ecologically sensitive area, so we 1302 01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:17,120 Speaker 1: better tread lightly. End of quote, prioritizing ecological preservation over 1303 01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:24,679 Speaker 1: fire protection, even in areas adjacent to nearby densely populated neighborhoods. 1304 01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:35,519 Speaker 1: This is what essentially caused the Palisades fire to irupt 1305 01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:40,880 Speaker 1: the way it did. Galvenusom of course, is blaming it 1306 01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:46,720 Speaker 1: on the weather and on climate change, but then that's 1307 01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:51,760 Speaker 1: Galvinussom Now Relief Factor loves hearing from pain free customers. 1308 01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:55,400 Speaker 1: We hope we can help you next. Bill Wrights, I've 1309 01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:59,080 Speaker 1: been crawling under sinks, working long hours for decades, my 1310 01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:02,000 Speaker 1: back and knees to the punishment. I thought pain was 1311 01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:05,800 Speaker 1: just part of the trade, but Relief Factor surprised me. 1312 01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:08,840 Speaker 1: Within weeks, I was working without winsday. I could get 1313 01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 1: down on the floor and get back up again without 1314 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:14,960 Speaker 1: thinking twice. End of quote. Bill knows hard work, knows pipes, 1315 01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:17,679 Speaker 1: tools and long days on the job. What he didn't 1316 01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,759 Speaker 1: know is how good life feels when pain stops. Tagging along. 1317 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,439 Speaker 1: Belief Factor didn't change Bill's trade, but it did change 1318 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:27,280 Speaker 1: his tomorrow.

There's 1332 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 25: only about twelve percent of the Somali's not on welfare, correct, correct? Okay? 1333 01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:23,799 Speaker 1: Not not not on not on some form of welfare. 1334 01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:28,000 Speaker 25: Yes, okay, So all the rest of them are all 1335 01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:31,880 Speaker 25: on staff benefits. Why would they be worried about beeding 1336 01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 25: the future? 1337 01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:36,200 Speaker 1: Why would they be worried about, say again. 1338 01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 25: Beating you know where they was feeding all these starting kids. 1339 01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:48,360 Speaker 25: You know, the program was feeding our future. 1340 01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:51,400 Speaker 1: That's right, So they are they're already getting snap benefits, 1341 01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:53,599 Speaker 1: right okay? 1342 01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:56,720 Speaker 25: And the second one, what do they need deal they 1343 01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,040 Speaker 25: care for when none of them have a job. 1344 01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:05,519 Speaker 1: Well, some of them have jobs. The bottom line, however, 1345 01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:08,960 Speaker 1: is that, assuming you need daycare, what do most people 1346 01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:13,639 Speaker 1: do in order to get daycare? They rely on friends, family, 1347 01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:17,719 Speaker 1: and neighbors. Overwhelmingly, that's what people use for daycare. For daycare, 1348 01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:21,960 Speaker 1: childcare because trust is a big deal. You want somebody 1349 01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,439 Speaker 1: to be trustworthy for you to leave your kid there 1350 01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:31,439 Speaker 1: for hours.

I doubt that he'll 1376 01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:55,320 Speaker 1: take you up on the offer. By the way, why 1377 01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:59,800 Speaker 1: would Trump support school choice the people that wo had 1378 01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:02,240 Speaker 1: been fit most by school choice, or poor people living 1379 01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:03,760 Speaker 1: in the inner city, Why would he care about that? 1380 01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:10,200 Speaker 1: And speaking of billionaires and millionaires, far more billionaire supported 1381 01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:12,840 Speaker 1: the candidacy of Kamala Harris and supported the candidacy of 1382 01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:17,479 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I'm just saying, Diane is in Vancouver, Washington, 1383 01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:18,760 Speaker 1: dianea're and the Larry Old Show. 1384 01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:23,400 Speaker 26: Hi, Larry, thank you for taking my call, my pleasure. 1385 01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:29,320 Speaker 26: The reason I'm calling is I believe that the reason 1386 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:33,519 Speaker 26: why Comula wanted to chose Tim Wallas to become a 1387 01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:37,519 Speaker 26: running her running mate instead of Sapiro, who was much 1388 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:42,400 Speaker 26: more qualified than Tim Walls, is because of. 1389 01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:45,000 Speaker 20: The fact that she raised over a billion dollars. 1390 01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:48,240 Speaker 26: For her campaign in a short amount of time, which 1391 01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:52,560 Speaker 26: is unheard of. And I think that they use the 1392 01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:59,839 Speaker 26: Minnesota system that the Somalis used to raise that campaign. 1393 01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:04,720 Speaker 1: Well, Diane, I really don't think that that's how she 1394 01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:07,400 Speaker 1: raised all that money. Their whole bunch of very very 1395 01:46:07,439 --> 01:46:12,679 Speaker 1: wealthy people along the lines of the actor George Clooney 1396 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:16,639 Speaker 1: passed the hat for her. They all thought that Donald 1397 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,679 Speaker 1: Trump is a Nazi and a fascist and all that stuff. 1398 01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:21,559 Speaker 1: So there's no evidence that the money in her campaign, 1399 01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:25,080 Speaker 1: although I'm not saying it's impossible, came from these Somali 1400 01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:31,160 Speaker 1: childcare programs. I think she chose Tim Wallas because I 1401 01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:33,720 Speaker 1: think she felt threatened by Josh Shapiro. You're right, he 1402 01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:38,080 Speaker 1: would have been a far better candidate. I think perhaps 1403 01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,839 Speaker 1: also Josh Shapiro's being Jewish might have been a problem. 1404 01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:44,439 Speaker 1: You know, the Democratic Party has a real problem with 1405 01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:47,679 Speaker 1: anti Semitism, and Josh Shapiro is not only is Jewish, 1406 01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:50,759 Speaker 1: but he's a staunch pro Israel ally and that probably 1407 01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:56,000 Speaker 1: did not go well with their base. I suspect don 1408 01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:58,160 Speaker 1: is in Colorado Springs. Donn, you're in the Lario to. 1409 01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:03,320 Speaker 20: Show hi, Larry. I just want to say thank you 1410 01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:07,920 Speaker 20: so much for what you do. And I really, I 1411 01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:13,200 Speaker 20: really am so grateful that President Trump is exposing all 1412 01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:19,880 Speaker 20: of this fraud because in Colorado, specifically in Douglas County, Colorado, 1413 01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:24,880 Speaker 20: if you are a parent that has the child disabilities 1414 01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:28,080 Speaker 20: and if you need a little bit of assistance maybe 1415 01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,479 Speaker 20: for rent, they will take your child away from you 1416 01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:33,599 Speaker 20: and place them in foster care like they did mine. 1417 01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:39,479 Speaker 20: And then they denied us help when we needed just 1418 01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:42,919 Speaker 20: a little bit. And then they paid the foster family. 1419 01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:45,280 Speaker 15: This is just a. 1420 01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:47,400 Speaker 20: Small part of it, a small portion of it. For 1421 01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:50,760 Speaker 20: nine months, they paid them for my same child, my 1422 01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:54,320 Speaker 20: child with the same thing. He has downs in German. 1423 01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:57,400 Speaker 20: He does have a bunch of medical conditions which they 1424 01:47:57,400 --> 01:48:00,759 Speaker 20: accused me of making up. That they paid the Medicaid 1425 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:05,040 Speaker 20: paid them almost sixty thousand, six zero thousand dollars for 1426 01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:08,839 Speaker 20: just nine months of my sen's care. Plus they received 1427 01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:12,920 Speaker 20: my friends social Security income. That's just a small portion 1428 01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,960 Speaker 20: of it. And that there wasn't any assistance for us. 1429 01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:21,520 Speaker 20: There wasn't just a few hundred dollars for us. And 1430 01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:23,680 Speaker 20: and that means do I feel entitled? 1431 01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:26,879 Speaker 15: But these. 1432 01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:31,960 Speaker 20: If these programs are available to people, they be available 1433 01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:34,439 Speaker 20: to the people who really need it instead of paying 1434 01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:39,559 Speaker 20: the people who who know how to manipulate the system. 1435 01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:44,679 Speaker 20: And you know, when we when we when we applied 1436 01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:46,720 Speaker 20: for any kind of assistance, we had to I had 1437 01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:49,519 Speaker 20: to jump through hoops to get it to get to 1438 01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:51,160 Speaker 20: two hundred dollars. 1439 01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:53,480 Speaker 10: And these people. 1440 01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:56,400 Speaker 20: Didn't have to supply any kind of verification whatsoever that 1441 01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:59,200 Speaker 20: might even needed, any kind of care outsoever. 1442 01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:06,600 Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like California. You're in California illegally. You 1443 01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:11,640 Speaker 1: can get healthcare, insurance, driver's license in state tuition that 1444 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,840 Speaker 1: somebody born and raised in America outside of California cannot get. 1445 01:49:15,080 --> 01:49:17,439 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. I'm Larry Older. 1446 01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:24,800 Speaker 26: Last she was just walking down the street singing. 1447 01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:31,200 Speaker 1: Spot triple ate ninetevene one s A G E triple 1448 01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:34,520 Speaker 1: eate nineteventy one seven two fourty three, Larry Elder, Salem NewsChannel. 1449 01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:41,440 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about Trump arrangement syndrome. Here's 1450 01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:46,400 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett on the View calling Donald Trump the Maduro 1451 01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:48,519 Speaker 1: of the United States number thirty seven. 1452 01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,960 Speaker 27: And you know, I do want to just say this. 1453 01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:56,439 Speaker 27: Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate as 1454 01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:58,600 Speaker 27: we sit here on January sixth, I do want to 1455 01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:02,000 Speaker 27: be clear some else was trying to be a Maduro 1456 01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:05,240 Speaker 27: of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the 1457 01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:09,320 Speaker 27: exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful. I 1458 01:50:09,360 --> 01:50:13,040 Speaker 27: also want to point out that we now in the 1459 01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:16,000 Speaker 27: state of Sexis and around this country are enduring this 1460 01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:22,840 Speaker 27: ridiculous redistricting scheme again because he doesn't really believe in 1461 01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,920 Speaker 27: free and fair elections. So again this idea that he 1462 01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,080 Speaker 27: is doing this for a great reason. He made it clear, 1463 01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,160 Speaker 27: because it's my understanding that when he went into that 1464 01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:34,960 Speaker 27: press conference he said at least twenty times. 1465 01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:37,120 Speaker 17: Oil oil oil oil, or sure did. 1466 01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:40,559 Speaker 27: Listen to him when he speaks, he's telegraphing, and so 1467 01:50:41,640 --> 01:50:44,120 Speaker 27: Jack Smith, I hate that he did not get his 1468 01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:46,479 Speaker 27: day in court. I hate that for the American people. 1469 01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:51,240 Speaker 1: I have a question in response to what Jack mcrockett said. 1470 01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:57,240 Speaker 1: Remember that video that service personnel put together advising service 1471 01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:00,400 Speaker 1: members that they had the right to refuse an unlawful order. 1472 01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:07,920 Speaker 1: How many of them refused to be dispatched to Venezuela. 1473 01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:13,920 Speaker 1: How many of the one hundred and fifty aircraft team said, 1474 01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going, it's unlawful. How many of the other 1475 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:20,000 Speaker 1: first personnel that we're involved in this mission, very complicated, 1476 01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:24,439 Speaker 1: said it's unlawful. One of those in that video was 1477 01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:29,599 Speaker 1: Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. He was on the John Stewart 1478 01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:33,479 Speaker 1: Show and was asked whether he thinks the narco terrorist 1479 01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:40,520 Speaker 1: strikes against the boats are illegal he wouldn't answer Number thirty. 1480 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:44,839 Speaker 11: Four, Are the boat strikes illegal? 1481 01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:48,240 Speaker 17: Well, so, I've been asking this question for a long time. 1482 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:50,840 Speaker 17: I'm on the Armed Services and the Intelligence Committee. They 1483 01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:55,800 Speaker 17: have some complicated legal rationale forty pages of why these 1484 01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:58,800 Speaker 17: are legal. It's questionable at best. And by the way, 1485 01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,880 Speaker 17: that's my urse. It was fatanyl, then it was cocaine, 1486 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,840 Speaker 17: then it was about regime change, then it was about oil. 1487 01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:07,360 Speaker 9: So but what I'm do? 1488 01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,920 Speaker 11: You see my point? 1489 01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:11,840 Speaker 9: Your point, I don't. But at our point. 1490 01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:14,599 Speaker 17: Our point is to members of the military who don't 1491 01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:19,720 Speaker 17: get reminded of this offense. When something is clearly unlawful, 1492 01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:23,679 Speaker 17: you have an obligation not to follow those orders. It's 1493 01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:26,040 Speaker 17: a pretty simple thing. And we've seen in our history 1494 01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:30,640 Speaker 17: multiple times when even under those circumstances, members of the 1495 01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:33,759 Speaker 17: military have done stuff that was clearly over the line. 1496 01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:42,120 Speaker 1: Didn't answer the question, did he are they unlawful? Well? Check? Please, 1497 01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:49,080 Speaker 1: let's do this again tomorrow. God bless, what can I 1498 01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:50,840 Speaker 1: say my mouth? 1499 01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:56,919 Speaker 9: But Mike has been drunk all across America. 1500 01:52:57,240 --> 01:52:57,720 Speaker 2: That's enough. 1501 01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:00,760 Speaker 9: Put down the mind. The elders show, Oh we're 1502 01:53:00,960 --> 01:53:04,240 Speaker 26: So happy, and the tower we're going to stace is
