I run the largest pro 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:09.960 American student organization in the country, fighting for the future 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.360 of our republic. My call is to fight evil and 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.520 to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.919 is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.200 if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.400 up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.600 stop sending your kids to college. You should get married 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.160 as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.280 Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.599 Go start atturning point, you say, high school chapter. Go 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.839 find out how your church can get involved. Sign up 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.839 and become an activist. I gave my life to the 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.200 Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.080 in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:46.000 Here I am. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:47.120 Lord, Use me. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:57.400 Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.400 is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.480 experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.000 my family, friends and viewers. 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.840 All right, welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. March fourth, 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:16.559 twenty twenty six, welcome, Blake. Lots to get to today 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.520 we have a jam pack show. I'm excited to announce 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.560 that we have Steve Toff who has he took down 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.520 took down Dan Frenchman, Dan Crenshaw, and that was a 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:32.559 big upset. Dan Crenshaw becomes the first incumbent House member 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.640 to lose his reelection bid. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.520 So he's done and so there you go. That is 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:39.160 a turning point. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.800 Action endorsed candidate taking out d Dan Crenshaw in Texas's 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:43.920 second district. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.800 To everyone who turned out Phoenix Woodlands. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:50.800 Area north of Houston, Houston, because you know you limited 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.600 veotix anyway. So we've got him in the second hour 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.280 at one point thirty eastern, so don't go anywhere. 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.400 We're excited to talk to him. We've actually also got 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:00.440 an admiral. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.320 We're going to talk tactics, what we know about chessboard 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.600 pieces moving across the board in the Iran War. But 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.560 we want to unpack everything that's going on right now 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.560 with the primary elections in Texas that happened last night 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.640 here on Real America's Voice. Steve Bannon did a bang 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.639 up job covering the outcomes last night, So kudos to 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.040 him had tip big time. But let's get into the 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.920 Senate race. Because this was the big one, and there's 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.200 a lot going on, you know, on the AG's house races. 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.120 We get that. Let's go, let's go to this. John 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.480 Cornyn looks like he eked out a victory over Ken Paxton. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.040 We endorse Ken Paxton. But the big story here, Blake 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.840 is it's hard to overstate how much of a David 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.520 versus Goliath story this. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:48.440 Actually, yeah, they. 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.360 Spent approximately what sixty million dollars. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.960 I've seen sixty I've seen seventy five. I've seen one 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:53.560 hundred and five. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.000 It depends huge amounts of money either way. They massively 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.360 spent to keep Cornyn in office. I would say corn 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.160 has to be one of the Republicans who sparks the 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.720 least enthusiasm among the base of his state and around 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:08.160 the country. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.000 Well, here's the angle here, though. If you're looking at that, 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:16.520 you see Wesley Hunt got almost three hundred thousand votes. Okay, 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.800 that is a lot of votes, and mark my words, 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.120 turnout's going to be even higher for the next for 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.840 the runoff. Okay, so what you're seeing is a forty 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.320 one point nine percent for Cornyn the incumbent over forty 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.079 point seven percent for Ken Paxton. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.400 I mean, it's just corn corn is a guy. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.480 I think it's pretty safe to say Paxton has advantaged 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.400 in the runoff. And the reason for this is Cornan 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.440 is a pro amnesty Republican, yes, well known for that. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.200 Also Wesley Hunt. Most of those votes for Wesley Hunt 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.640 are probably going to go to Paxton. And here's the 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.200 other thing. The Senate Leadership Fund was hitting Wesley Hunt. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.400 So if the Senate Leadership Fund is obviously wants John 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.880 corn they think John Cornyn is the more electable of 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.160 the two candidates, But then you go after Wesley Hunt, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.400 you're alienating Wesley Hunt's voters. I'm not exactly sure what 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.800 the logic was on that, But the piece here that's 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.240 important is the establishment wants John Cornyn. They think that 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.120 he is more electable. And maybe he might be maybe. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.560 Although it's okay he's a vote for amnesty. I would 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.680 rather not have a vote for amnesty in the Senate. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.760 He's a vote against so many things. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.080 He might be more electable or but here's the thing. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.799 They have said this about Ken Paxton from the jump. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.520 They have done this to him in every statewide election, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.200 and guess what, Ken Paxton keeps winning and winning by 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.760 a sizable majority. Now, I'm not saying that if you 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.360 put Cornyan up against Tall Rico that corn wouldn't get 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.800 maybe a percentage point more or a percentage point and 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.480 a half. But then you get this senator that's good 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.600 for nothing in the US Senate. We have enough of those. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.360 Ken Paxton is a fighter. He's proven he can win 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.040 statewide again and again and again. They always throw the 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.720 same attack lines at him. He's absolutely capable of winning 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.440 the against well. 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.880 That is the more important thing. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.280 Because the candidate on the Democrat side, I think we 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.039 were all hoping we would get to go against Jasmine Crockett. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.360 We all have found her highly entertaining. She's given us 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.440 a lot of enjoyment. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:16.960 Over the years. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:22.000 But Jasmine Crockett's somewhat long shot primary bid where she 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.000 opened with a video of President Trump calling her an 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.239 idiot while sitting there, has fallen short. She has fallen short. 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.800 We should bid farewell for her with one final video, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.600 I think, which is her coming out and saying that 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.760 the primary was rigged by the Republicans. We will note 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.240 primaries in Texas are just run by the parties themselves. 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.480 So I guess the Republican has infiltrated the Democrat Party 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:46.640 and just set. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:46.920 It all up. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.240 We'll bid her farewell with one last cry of racism. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.320 For seventy one alright has already stated we encourage each 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.719 and every one of you to remain resilient. We cannot 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.039 allow this type of behavior to be rewarded, because so 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.240 long as they know that they can win, even if 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.920 it means cheating, then they will continue. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:10.960 To do it. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.200 Wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait, hold on. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:18.200 I have been credibly informed that there is no such 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:23.760 thing as election fraud. I have been credibly informed. But 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.120 yet Jasmine Crockett alleges that there was cheating going on. 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.760 My favorite thing to see is Democrats alleging other Democrats 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.680 are cheating or in this case, I guess she did. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.719 She said that Republicans rigged it or something. I don't 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.839 know why we would rig it, Okay, I had, so 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.760 I begrudgingly am going to give Blake to a little 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.080 hat tip period a very good line about Tall Rico. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.360 Now Tall Rico, so that is that is who won 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.320 James Tolerance Ta Rico Presbyterian seminarian, I think is what 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:52.920 he was so and. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:54.599 But but is he moderate? 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.359 Well, so that's the thing is that they're going we 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.480 often kind of reintroduce talercate everyone. You're going to be 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.480 seeing him. He is now the standard bearer for the 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.000 Democrats this midterm. He is their guy. He's probably going 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.200 to get the most money. If he were to win 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.800 next November, it will be touted as their biggest win. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.800 We're going to see this guy everywhere, James tell Rico, 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.480 and they're going to tell you he's a moderate, he's 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.440 the new face of the Democrat party. He's Christian, he's 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.800 a good old boy, all these things. James tall Rico 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.920 is not moderate. He's just white. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.680 That's just all in it. He is a white male. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.920 Can we repeat that for the folks in the back 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.320 that maybe didn't hear you. James tall Rico is not moderate, 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:35.640 he's just white. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.080 It is the exact same thing they ran with Tim 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:43.520 Walls in last the well not a man there, but yeah, 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.640 Tim Walls. The point is they trot this guy out 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:50.200 and they say, look, he's a white, straight guy. You know, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.320 he hunts, he was on a football team or ago. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.800 He's moderate, He's safe for all of you when we 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.640 know because he tells you himself. He embraces all of 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.680 the worst, most radical policies of the Democratic Party, like 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.120 we have Gavin Newsom coming out and sort of signaling 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.760 now we should maybe chill out on the transgender stuff, guys, 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.560 when this guy is going out and uh saying stuff 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.120 like this four ninety five. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:22.360 God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.480 God is non binary. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.320 Or this where he said, uh, you know, there are 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.120 six biological sexes five twenty four. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.640 I want us all to be aware of is that 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.880 that modern science obviously recognized as that there are many 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.000 more than two biological sexes. 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.320 In fact, there are six, but six biological sexes, Like 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.000 this is the moderate, Say this is the moderate because 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.080 the radical debs they believe there's infinity sexes. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.200 At least he's limiting it to six. So this is 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.960 he is moderate. He's a total modern he only believes 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:01.720 in six sexes. So here's here's a Bible verse for you, 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.560 Blake James fourteen six. Jesus answered, I am the Way 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:11.040 and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:17.920 the Father except through me. Now Here ta Rico's take 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.000 on this five point thirty. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.080 Five leave Christianity points to the truth. I also think 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.680 other religions of love point to the same truth. I 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.839 think of different religious traditions as different languages. So you 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.880 and I could sit here and debate what to call 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.120 this cup, and you could call it a cup in English, 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.320 you'd call it something else in Spanish and French. But 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.839 we are all talking about the same reality. I believe 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.880 Jesus Christ reveals that reality to us, but I also 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.000 think that other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.160 with their own symbol structures. And I've learned more about 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.080 my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.280 Islam and Judaism, and so I see these beautiful faith 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.880 traditions as circling the same truth about the universe, about 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.640 the cosmos, and that truth is inher a mystery. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:09.679 Okay, Okay, I think it's worth repeating every time you 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.080 see these clips. I want you to tell yourself, James 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.400 taal Rico is not moderate. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.080 He's just white. Okay. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.640 I mean, so, I think we have we can come 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.880 up with various terms for what tall Rico believes, but 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.640 it's not for Christianity, that is, a er believer in 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.360 the Christ who said he was sent by God to 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.200 redeem sens or not answer the question well. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:34.040 And this is the thing. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:39.480 Left wing Christianity is an extraordinary intellectual exercise because you 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.480 can see there James tal Rico is twisting himself into 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:48.719 ideological and intellectual knots, trying to carve a way out 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.080 for a progressive to relate to what he's saying so 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.160 that they don't think he's a bigot, you know, not 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.600 like all us Maga Bible thumpers. And it's designed progressive 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.400 christian to blot out all the aspects of the faith 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:08.400 that don't align with the Democrat Party platform. Sat another way, 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.600 they put their own ideologies, their own wants, their own 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:16.719 appetites ahead of the commandments of God in scripture. And 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.960 that's why it's completely unrecognizable to your average Christian, to 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.840 your average Evangelical, to your average Catholic, to your average Orthodox. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.679 And this is a verse for James Tyalrico. I'd love 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.360 to get his feedback on the two Timothy four three 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.079 through four, for the time is coming when people will 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.720 not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.400 accumulate for themselves, teachers to suit their own passions, and 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.840 will turn away from listening to the truth and wander 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.120 off into myths. And that's what you're seeing with the 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.000 progressive Christians like James tall Rico. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:49.000 I feel like we. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.960 Need, we're gonna need a sustained investigation to find out 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:53.720 how many coexist. 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.200 Bumper stickers, James Tolerago. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.959 Hass on his car, on his computers, on various paraffine 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.160 alia throughout his life because the answer. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.800 Is not zero, the answer zero. 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.560 Well, and listen. To make a further point, this is 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.880 how James tall Rico uses scripture in his Christian faith, 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.880 and going to seminary of course, because because no seminaries 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:20.760 are progressive. Of course, to defend abortion, not just any abortion, 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.880 by the way, trans abortion as well. 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:23.640 Four ninety. 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.000 Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:31.920 trans community needs abortion care too. Defending Trans Texas is 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.840 something we have to do every day at the state Capitol, 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.400 and you better believe I'll be getting sermons on that too. 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.679 So when I use the word woman, it should not 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.079 be understood as an exhaustive term, but rather as a 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:49.600 as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy. 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.040 Okay, so I'm going to note something. So for those 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.120 against say he was preaching Saint Andrew's Presbyterian church, I 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.280 want to go back to his whole Every religion is true. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:03.920 Saint Andrew is an apostle, and according to tradition, he 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.760 is martyred on an ex cross because he will not 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.120 follow the Roman gods. He will not follow other the 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:14.080 pagan gods. He preaches that Christ is the savior and 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.120 the only you know is the way and the truth 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:18.760 of life, and that God is the only God. And 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.840 for that he is executed according to Christian tradition. That 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.959 is why he is Saint Andrew. 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:24.400 So how can. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.520 James go out there and say, well, actually, the Romans 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.760 were also just on their way to the truth, and 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.120 you know he probably should have been more tolerant of that. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.439 Well, he probably would have said, well, the Romans were 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:34.960 not practicing a religion of love. 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.800 He might have said the bet because the Romans, the 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.000 Romans didn't have nearly the problem with abortion that the 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:40.920 early Christians did. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.959 But no, he says they were wrong on that one too. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.319 Listen, be careful and beware of false teachers that will 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.880 lead you astray, and they will tell you whatever their 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.480 itching ears want to hear because they are avoiding persecution 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.200 for the truth. That is essentially what this is. God says, 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.679 do you fear man? Do you fear God? 0:13:59.080 --> 0:13:59.360 Well? 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.679 When you watch down scripture and when you put your 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.280 own intellect and your own ideologies and your own political 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.160 platform ahead of what scripture says, well, that's false teaching 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.520 and it's extremely dangerous. But wait, there's more. James tall 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.319 Rico's bad on the border. Can you imagine being a 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.320 Texan and being awful on the border, and you. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.520 Have a Republican's bad on the border in the Senate 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:21.160 for Texas. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.000 Right, fair enough, four ninety four. 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.600 Our southern border should be like our front porch. There 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.440 should be a giant welcome mat out front and a 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.520 lock on the door. We can welcome immigrants who want 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.880 to live the American dream. We can build a pathway 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.360 to citizenship for those neighbors who have been here, making 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.760 us richer and stronger, and we can keep out people 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.440 who mean to do us harm. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.600 Giant front porch welcome. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.080 He is not moderate, He's just a white guy, and 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.560 they're going to endlessly do this spent and it's really sinister. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.880 As as Christians, we have to be especially alert when 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.560 they put these fake Christians in front of you and 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.520 they say, oh, yeah, he's he loves Jesus too, and 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.800 when they're preaching something that is really evil. When he 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.240 is preaching literal child sacrifice in a supposed church, that 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.680 is honestly far worse and far more sinister it than 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.480 if he was just a non religious democrat. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:14.320 Woe unto you. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.960 As America turns two hundred and fifty, we want to 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.040 help Good Ranchers take a moment to remember the people 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.480 who built it, and those, of course are America's ranchers. 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.440 For over two hundred and fifty years, ranchers had worked 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:32.800 tirelessly to feed America through droughts, wars, recessions, pandemics, changing politics. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.560 They don't stop and that is the kind of legacy 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.480 Good Ranchers was built on. Unlike others, Good Ranchers is 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.680 a meat company that's one hundred percent committed to America, 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.840 not just in words, but in practice. Every cut they 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.280 offer is raised on local American farms and ranches, from 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.840 the pasture to the final seal on every box. So 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.840 as we head into a year meant to celebrate American culture, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.080 Good Ranchers stands right at the heart of that story. 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.040 I am actually a good Rancher subscriber myself, and I 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.360 love how easy it is to manage my orders.

This is Admiral Bob Harward 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.560 He grew up in Iran, graduated from the Tehran American 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.840 School and speaks Farsi. A former Navy seal and Vice admiral, 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.480 he led US operation in Afghanistan in Iraq served as 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:07.960 Deputy commander of the US Central Command, I mean, counter terrorism, 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.960 all the things. This is a very accomplished gentleman, Admiral 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.239 Bob Harwood. Welcome to the show. Honored to have you. 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.600 There's so much news out of Iran. Give us the 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.960 big picture of view right now. How are our troops 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.080 along with the israel How are they performing? Are we 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.360 ahead of schedule, behind schedule? Your assessment, sir, incredible. 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.959 The whole thing, from cradle to grave is just incredible. 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.080 That's the best description I can have. That we had 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:41.320 a leader who was finally, after forty years, willing to 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:46.200 take the political risk to stand up to this repressive 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:50.080 regime that has been killing our people, attacking our partners 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:54.000 in the region, attacking us in cyber and panetic activities 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.560 in Iraq and Yemen. So that in itself is incredible. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.919 Then the actions of our military the real testament, the 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:07.159 long term investments, the long term commitment, the professionalism of 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:11.879 our military, and the capability and capacity of our military 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.560 to come in here in a matter of days and 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:19.720 really obliterate their integrated air defense system, their ability to 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:25.400 project power. So it's just unprecedented. And then most important 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.080 is you've noted the strategy and what this means. This 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.840 changes the geopolitical content of a world as we know it. 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.600 Right now, we've removed one of the axis of evil 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.120 that everyone's acknowledged for the last three or four decades. 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.520 Or it's just incredible in every way. 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:48.000 So I want to play this clip from Secretary of 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:52.040 War Pete Hegseth talking about kind of the initial volley 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.080 and return fire that we saw from around. He talks 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.640 about it as a scripted play, like a football team 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:58.720 for eighty two. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:03.000 But I like in Iran's predicament to a football team 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.359 who scripted the first twenty plays of a game. The 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.120 team knew what plays to run because their first few 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:13.160 drives were scripted. But now that the game has started 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.720 and the blitz is on, they don't know what plays 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:18.800 to call, let alone how to get in the huddle 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:24.720 and call those plays. Iran's senior leaders are dead. The 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:29.879 so called governing council that might have selected a successor dead, missing, 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.720 or cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.280 same room. 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.280 General's, mid level officers, enlisted ranks. 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.720 They can't talk or communicate, let alone mount a coordinated 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.080 and sustained offensive. The Iranian Air Force is no more 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.600 built for nineteen ninety six, destroyed in twenty twenty six. 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.840 The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.400 So now this, I mean, all of this is amazing. 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.520 And Pete hag Seth basically said that you know their 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.800 aired defe This is about We're about to command this 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:03.879 guy's over Iran in a day or two, less than 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.960 a week. But then the question, then, Sir, becomes how 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:09.640 long does this take? 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:16.359 Because we are seeing the concerns Admiral about missile stockpiles. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.480 Does the US have enough for this to go weeks 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.640 months on end? Can we win that war of attrition 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.840 with whatever Iran's built up? That's a concern I'm seeing 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.640 a lot of people have, and we are seeing, for example, 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.199 people are betting money on this sort of thing, and 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.200 the prediction markets say there's only about a forty percent 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:40.520 chance that the regime falls by July. Can the us 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.480 sustain this if the fight is going into April, May, 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:44.760 the summer, June, July. 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.280 Well, first off, I just agree with that premise completely. 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:53.040 And again, our stockpiles are less relevant once we stop 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:57.880 the ability to project power. If they can't launch missiles, 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.840 they can't launch drones, they can't mind the straits of 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:04.200 our mows. Who cares how long it takes. They can't 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.280 hurt us, they can't hurt our allies. Time is on 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.320 our sides, and do we arm the courage? Do we 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.960 move arms into the people the opposition? Look, we've had 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:20.280 thirty years of hunting people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yem and everywhere. 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:24.600
