I realized that under a Trump administration, 12 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 4: whether it was last year in twenty twenty five or 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 4: whether it's this year in twenty twenty six, we're not 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 4: going to have a slow news cycle. And there's always 15 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 4: so much to talk about. It's hard to cram all 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 4: it into a program and break all of it down 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 4: to keep you post on what the heck's going on. 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 4: But by golly, Todd does it every single day, and 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 4: we're going to try and do the best and fill 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 4: his shoes today on the program. 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: It is the Tot Sernes Radio Show.

I have heard 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 4: the tweet tweet rumors that ice agents are moving their 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 4: way across multiple different portions of the country. In fact, 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 4: I heard last night here in Wichita we had seventy 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 4: ICE agents that actually showed up and started checking into hotels. 33 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 4: I know that's kind of crazy. So we'll break some 34 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 4: of that down on what we look like with the 35 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 4: ice and getting rid of frondsters, getting rid of the 36 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 4: illegal aliens, the criminal illegal aliens according to the Department 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 4: of Homely ind Security and Christie Nome and more.

We are going 39 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: to try if they do it sometime throughout the middle 40 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 4: of the day during the program today, we are going 41 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: to try and do the live stream and cover the 42 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: Greenland Denmark US conversations. Donald Trump has invited the leaders 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 4: of Denmark, the Prime Minister of Greenland over to the 44 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 4: White House They're going to have me have a conversation today. 45 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 4: I can't wait to see what this looks like because 46 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 4: I look, I've said it before, I'll say it on 47 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 4: Todd's show that if we somehow take over Greenland and 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 4: make it the fifty first state, which would be freaking awesome, 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 4: I will be the first one to move up there. 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 4: I enjoy my colder climate. I am not happy that 51 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 4: in which talk Candice, where I'm based out of it's 52 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 4: been sixty five degrees in Sunday for the past week 53 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: in January. Not okay with that, and I really want 54 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 4: to go to a colder climate. So I'll be the 55 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 4: first to admit that I will move up to Denmark 56 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 4: very or Denmark up in Greenland very happily if get 57 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 4: the opportunity to do so. It sounds like that price 58 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 4: tag could be relatively hefty, but Donald Trump wants to 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: make it project at Numero Uno for the administration. Well 60 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 4: it happened or not, We'll talk about that throughout the 61 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: program and see if the live stream happens anytime soon. 62 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 4: But nine oh one two six zero five nine nine 63 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 4: are one two six zero fifty nine twenty six. If 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 4: you want to jump on the show with us. I 65 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: really want to spend some time as we talk foreign policy. 66 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 4: I want to break down the ongoing Iranian revolution that 67 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: we're seeing right now and the fact that we've had 68 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: the internet cut out within the nation. We don't really 69 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 4: know what's going on on the inside. It's hard to 70 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: really gather some intel. President Trump saying that he is 71 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 4: trying to figure out what the heck's going on there, 72 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 4: and the potential slaughtering of thousands of people. We've heard 73 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: any numbers between three thousand up to like twenty thousand. 74 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: That's pretty chocking off right there. If that's actually happening, 75 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 4: then what do we do? And I ask you the 76 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 4: question for the conservatives, for the America First movement, for 77 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: the ones that are maybe non interventionalist, it was very 78 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 4: controversial just to go down and get Venezuela and Nicholas Maduro. 79 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: I ask you, is this a an America First agenda 80 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: if we got involved to help out the revolution right 81 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 4: now trying to topple a dictator, or is it one 82 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 4: where we sit back, wipe our hands clean and just 83 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: wait to see what happens. I am I'm more optimistic 84 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 4: now than I happened in a long time. And the 85 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: fact that and more sure that the people of Iran 86 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 4: started this revolution and wanting to topple the Iyatola, wanting 87 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 4: to topple their crazy Nazi dictatorial regime. They're massacring crazy 88 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: dictator they have right now. They started this because of 89 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. Donald Trump, when he went in, he didn't 90 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: start a long term conflict. He blew up the nuclear 91 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 4: base and Iran. He was boom in out. We did 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 4: it in a night, no issue. They didn't even know 93 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 4: about it, but it was over. That was pretty awesome, 94 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: and I think that was a big win for America. 95 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: America first and being able to get rid of a 96 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 4: new or at least downsize a little bit, the nuclear plan, 97 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 4: the projects that Iran's been trying to build after we've 98 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: been telling them for years not to do so. And 99 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 4: if that's the case, that kind of sparked something in 100 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: the Iranian people that, by the way, or the majority 101 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 4: Persian and not Muslim or Islamist, that say, hey, maybe 102 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: we should something different here. Maybe this is the opportunity 103 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 4: for us to actually begin to fight back. Then you 104 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: had the peace deal between Iran and Israel where they 105 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 4: we finally have a ceasefire between the two and the 106 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 4: Iranian people again at that time, said we have nothing 107 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 4: against the Israelis. We have nothing against the Jewish population there. 108 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: We get along just fine. Why in the world is 109 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: our government continuously sending drones over to Israel wanting to 110 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 4: harm them, wanting to blow them up? Why would we 111 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 4: do something like that? So we have no problem with 112 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: these people. And again that seed planted in the minds 113 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 4: of the people of Iran. Do we really want to 114 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: continue on allowing our government to be a puppet of China, 115 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 4: to be a puppet of Russia, and to maybe do 116 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: something just a little bit different, And again sparking that 117 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 4: seed because of Donald Trump. So for the America First Agenda, 118 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 4: the America First folks that are out there listening to 119 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: the Todd Sterns radio program, is it in our interest 120 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 4: as an America First agenda to assist the revolution, the 121 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: uprising of the Iranian people. I gotta say, probably the 122 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 4: coolest picture I've ever seen it, the coolest video I've 123 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 4: ever seen in my life, has been the picture and 124 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: I'm sure you've seen it. The Iranian woman that's in 125 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 4: like the biker jacket, that has her hair down, she's 126 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 4: she's got the picture of the leader there that she's 127 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 4: lighting it on fire and then lights a cigarette from 128 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 4: that fire that's from the picture. To me, that is 129 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 4: the coolest picture I've ever seen in my life. And 130 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: that is the sign of Hey, we're no longer going 131 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: to see women as like subhuman. We're actually gonna take 132 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 4: care of our people. And I think that's really neat. 133 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: So the fact that they're trying to do that, should 134 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: we would we get involved and actually help topple it. 135 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: I know that most conservatives are not really the fans 136 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 4: of regime changes, which is why it was controversial even 137 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 4: to go into Venezuela and take care of Nicholas Maduro. 138 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 4: But I ask you that question, should we be involved 139 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 4: in that or allow it just to play its cards 140 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 4: out for the most part. Nine one two six zero 141 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 4: fifty nine twenty six. Donald Trump did speak yesterday. He 142 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: was at up in Detroit for talking to automo automakers 143 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 4: and the auto industry, and it mentioned the idea and said, hey, 144 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 4: continue on, man, just keep doing the revolution. We're here 145 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 4: to support you. 146 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 5: To all Iranian patriots, keep protesting, take over your institutions 147 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 5: if possible, and save the name of the killers and 148 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 5: the abusers that are abusing you. You're being very badly abused. 149 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 5: If the numbers are right. Now, I hear five different 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 5: sets of numbers. I hear numbers. Look, one death is 151 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 5: so much, but I hear much lower numbers. And then 152 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 5: I hear much higher numbers. But I say, save their names, 153 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 5: because they'll pay a very big price. 154 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: So President Donald Trump, he's been one, for whatever reason, 155 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 4: very concerned about his legacy, very concerned about whether he's 156 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: going to quote get into heaven. His goal is to 157 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: try and create world peace. He's trying to create as 158 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 4: many peace deals as possible. While we're not in favor 159 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 4: of regime changes for the most part, getting rid of 160 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 4: a crazy radical dictator who's a puppet to Russia and 161 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 4: an adversary of ours and who slaughters their people if 162 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: they try to have any type of voice or opinion 163 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: at all. Is that something for the betterment of humanity 164 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: and for a relationship with the United States, for an 165 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 4: American first agenda. 166 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: I almost see it as a possibility. 167 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 4: I see that we could potentially see some benefit from 168 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 4: that from our side, not to put in someone that 169 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: we want, but someone that we could at least get 170 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 4: along with a bit more and deradicalize the Middle East, 171 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: which has been an ongoing movement. We see the United 172 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: Arab Emirates, we see other nations out there that are 173 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 4: getting rid of not the Muslim population in their country, 174 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 4: but the radical Islamist population in their nations. And that's 175 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 4: a good sign. In fact, we've gone so far that 176 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: now the United Arab Emirates apparentlier ending funding of students 177 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 4: that are going to the United Kingdom to get their 178 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 4: education because that's where all the radicalization's coming from. And 179 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 4: I find that kind of weird. So the world is 180 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: topsy turvy right now. And yet at the same time, 181 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 4: while we have the push for human humanity and human 182 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 4: rights in the nation of Iran, we have the progressive 183 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 4: side of the isle here in the United States that 184 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: continues to just say that Donald Trump is the Nazi, 185 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 4: Donald Trump is the fascist, Donald Trump is the racist, 186 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 4: and that ice, of course, is nothing more than the 187 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 4: Gestapo coming to round people up. 188 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 6: All have refused to back down. You all have decided 189 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 6: that this resistance is not one that can be intimidated. 190 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 6: We are showing the nation that regardless of what the 191 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 6: tyrant in the White House believes we know that we 192 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 6: are here to stay and this is our country. We 193 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 6: are going to make a life here, and we are 194 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 6: going to stand up for our neighbors here in Minneapolis 195 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 6: right now. 196 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 4: That is none other than Ilhan Omar, I would think, 197 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 4: and this is very fascinating to me, which I don't 198 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 4: quite understand the concept. Here we have again a revolution 199 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: for humanity, people actually living as human beings and not 200 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 4: as subhuman For a woman who has to cover herself 201 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: in the nation of Iran who used to have a 202 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 4: beautiful culture, and the could actually get an education, and 203 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 4: they could you know, beat entrepreneurs, and they could live 204 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: their life and actually show a little skin at the 205 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: beach or whatever they want to do, actually wear you know, 206 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 4: T shirts and jeans and something and not the crazy 207 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 4: garbs that they have to wear now under the current ayatola. 208 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: That you have this humanity movement that you would think 209 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 4: would be a universal agreement for the right and the 210 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 4: left here in the United States. We could all get along. 211 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 4: We could all, you know, even with our political differences 212 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 4: here domestically be like, hey, we're fighting for humanity. 213 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: That's kind of an awesome move. 214 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 4: And the right and the left could get together and 215 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 4: for some reason, the crazy radical pink cat wearing left 216 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 4: side of the aisle that was screaming free Palestine for 217 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,239 Speaker 4: the past couple of years. And of course it's Zionism 218 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 4: and it's the Jews that are taking over the Muslim 219 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 4: world and so on and so forth, which is why 220 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 4: they've been hating on Israel with the anti Semitism that 221 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 4: I never thought I would see so publicly in society. Today, 222 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 4: they're really quiet, like they're definitely quiet with supporting the 223 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 4: regime change right now. And I ran with the revolutionists. 224 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 4: Why well, we can speculate maybe because of Donald Trump 225 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 4: supporting it, maybe because they really just don't care about 226 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 4: the movement, but it was just anti Israel to the point. 227 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you've heard this argument or not. 228 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: Apparently the argument against the whole transition of regime change 229 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 4: in Iran from the left side of the aisle, supporting 230 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 4: it or not supporting it, is. 231 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: Because it's a Zionist movement. I know. 232 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: Let that one's thinking for a minute, the humanity of 233 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 4: allowing people to be treated like a human being in 234 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 4: Iran by toppling the Iyahtola regime is apparently the conspiracy 235 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 4: now is the movement from Israel wanting a more favorable 236 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 4: nation that's likable to Israel and wanting apparently Jews to 237 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 4: take over Iran. That's where the argument is. That's the 238 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 4: talking point we're hearing now from the other side. But 239 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 4: instead of focusing on this shoe, the Democrats pr Remember, 240 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 4: here's the thing. We're an election season. It's midterm season. 241 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 4: That means every statement, every rally, every bill proposed, everything 242 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 4: done by politicians in the United States this year, starting 243 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 4: right now, is a political message to try and get 244 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 4: re elected. Democrats are really focusing not on the Iranian 245 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 4: issue at all, but focusing on now the gestapo of 246 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: the Ice and Donald Trump being the Nazi radical fascist 247 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 4: that he is. And if you really thought he was 248 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 4: a dictator, you wouldn't be able to have the voice 249 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 4: that you are right now, because then you would see 250 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 4: what we're seeing in Iran right now with the slaughtering. 251 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 4: What a wild world. It is a topsy turvy one. 252 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: I never thought that up was down and down was up, 253 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: but here we are in opposite ville. Especially for the 254 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 4: other side of the aisle nine oh one two six 255 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 4: zero fifty nine twenty six. I want to get your 256 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 4: thoughts on all this. Should we be involved in the 257 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 4: revolution in Iran? Should we let it play out and 258 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 4: potentially see a slaughtering of their population? Or is it 259 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 4: in the America First agenda to be involved in topple 260 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 4: that regime and then let the people choose a new leadership.

But 266 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 7: instead of light, there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred showing 267 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 7: itself at a time meant for prayer and rejoicing. Times 268 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 7: like this remind us even with the ceasefire and Israel, 269 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 7: Jewish people are being targeted simply because of their faith, 270 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 7: and times like this remind us why the International Fellowship 271 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 7: of Christians and Jews exists to stand in the gap, 272 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 7: providing safety and security to God's people.

Three thousand five twenty thousand. 295 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 4: Whatever we're hearing right now, I don't really know, but 296 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 4: regardless what it is, even one is unacceptable and shows that, 297 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 4: you know, it's kind of a dictatorial regime out there 298 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 4: that at the same time, the Democrats are not focused 299 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 4: on human rights out there. Instead they're focused on the 300 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 4: gusta here in. 301 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: The United States. 302 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 4: Rachel Maddow was on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, which I 303 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: guess Jimmy Kimmel getting renewed for another year or so, 304 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 4: that's kind of weird.

A 324 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 4: dictatorial regime that apparently is now Donald Trump that if 325 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 4: you have silent and peaceful protests like this, that all 326 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 4: of a sudden, now that is going to change up 327 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: to three percent of the population. And where are we 328 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 4: starting to see that? Did she just equate Donald trumps 329 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 4: regene as a radical dictatorial regime in the country while 330 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 4: at the same time we're seeing literal slaughtering of thousands 331 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 4: of people in the Middle East, and this is where 332 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 4: their focus is. Come on, man, that takes it to 333 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 4: a holy level. I mean, I get it there. They 334 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 4: have an agenda.

We 370 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 4: have a Supreme Court that can challenge it and say 371 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 4: what you're doing is unconstitutional. What they're angry about is that, 372 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 4: so far, the Supreme Court has cited, for the most part, 373 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 4: with the majority of the Trump agenda, which they're not 374 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 4: happy about because the Supreme Court, to them, in the 375 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 4: court system in general, was supposed to be the blockade 376 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 4: to just make Donald Trump completely null and void and 377 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 4: irrelevant for the next four years, which is what they 378 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 4: were hoping for. To the point, actually, if you remember 379 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer, what a year ago now, about December January 380 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four, after the election. After the presidential election, 381 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 4: they said, well, our main front line to stop Donald 382 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 4: Trump was to try and try and confirm as many 383 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 4: federal judges as possible in the nation so that way 384 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 4: we could have the court utilized as a political weapon 385 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 4: against the Trump administration to challenge everything he does in 386 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 4: court and just essentially stop him. And they tried it, 387 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 4: ntil the Supreme Court ended up stopping it with a 388 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 4: nation wide injunction saying you're not allowed to do that. Hey, 389 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 4: federal judges, stay in your lane, bro, and only make 390 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: decisions that affect your district and where you actually oversee. 391 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 4: So that kind of shot them down because the Supreme 392 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 4: Court is actually well interpreting the Constitution, not being used 393 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 4: as a political arm of the DNC, and the Democrats 394 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 4: aren't very happy about that.

This is 508 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 12: not protests. 509 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 13: These agents are being assaulted day after day after day, 510 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 13: and so you need more trained bodies, and there just 511 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 13: aren't enough cops to help, especially if the locals aren't 512 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 13: going to get involved. So let's bring in the trained 513 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 13: National Guard or whoever in our military can help with 514 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 13: this situation and keep our agents and the community safe. 515 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 7: I don't know if you had a chance to see 516 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 7: the video early on from the Tennessee Highway Patrol. It's 517 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 7: a brilliant thing. You know, They're out there saying, oh, 518 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 7: the police are attacking, the police are trying to run 519 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 7: us ober. Of course, the video shows a completely different story. 520 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 7: At the end of the day, when you talk to 521 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 7: law enforcement, you would have the left, what have you believe? 522 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 7: They wake up every day saying, oh, I can't wait 523 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 7: to go kill an activist. But Betsy, it seems to 524 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 7: me that most, if not all, the law enforcement I 525 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 7: know are saying, I just want to get back home 526 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 7: to my family safely tonight. 527 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 12: You're absolutely right. 528 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 13: No cop wakes up in the morning and says I 529 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 13: can't wait to shoot someone today. It is a life 530 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 13: altering situation, and so the left wants you to believe. 531 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 12: And again this. 532 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 13: Goes back to George Floyd, This goes back to Michael 533 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 13: Brown and Fergus of Missouri. Every time that the left 534 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 13: can use this, especially these sanctuary politicians, every time this 535 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 13: comes up, they want to blame us for the violence. 536 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 13: Cops want to protect their commune, they don't want to 537 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 13: hurt people, but they ultimately want to go home to 538 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 13: their families. 539 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 7: That's it, all right, Betsy, great stuff has always good 540 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 7: to see you, my friend, Betsy. Brentnor Smith, thank. 541 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 4: You there it is Betsy Britton or Smith the National 542 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 4: Police Association, and Tom sat town with her during his 543 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 4: Newsmax's TV program. Fascinating conversation, and she's so right. This 544 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 4: is the same agitators that were the whole we've been 545 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 4: calling it the George Floyd two point zero protests up 546 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 4: in Minnesota, Minneapolis in that area, angry about ice. It's 547 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 4: the same ones that are just angry and just hate 548 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: cops in general. Most of the protests that you see 549 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 4: in the nation are just angry at just cops and 550 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 4: any excuse they can go after cops is kind of 551 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 4: what we're seeing right now now on the same front. 552 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 4: I want you to think about this from a psychological 553 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 4: warfare mindset. Right now, the focus is cops bad. We're 554 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 4: going to be this watch Ice movement across the nation. 555 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 4: We're going to follow them, we're going to agitate them. 556 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 4: We're going to make their life difficult. Which they're federal officers, 557 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 4: which means they can arrest you for impeding their operation. 558 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: Probably not a smart idea, but that's what they like 559 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 4: to do anyways. So I guess whatever, they're the wicked, 560 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 4: wild freedom fighters, except for people that are actually being 561 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 4: you know, slaughtered in other nations. But nonetheless it's the 562 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 4: priorities that they have for their own life that at 563 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 4: the same time, is it a distraction from the other 564 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 4: news out of Minnesota. And I don't think Minnesota necessarily 565 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 4: wants more news and attention because they have a lot 566 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 4: of issues going on right now with Governor Tim Walls 567 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 4: and the mayor of Minneapolis and going after Ice and 568 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 4: now all this fraud that's going on, which led to, 569 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 4: by the way, Tim Walls stepping down and not running 570 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 4: for re election for governor of the state, which means 571 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: that he pretty much. 572 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: He's the fall guy. 573 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 4: Let's admit it, right, he's the fall guy for this 574 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 4: whole fronster Somali population issue that according to ilhan Omarn 575 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 4: we played the clip earlier that she's just saying, well, 576 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 4: because we couldn't find all the fraud in the Somali population, 577 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 4: that now we're going after the other brown people in Minnesota, 578 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 4: which is the Hispanic population. That apparently that's what you 579 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 4: know that the focus is. We're just trying to find 580 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 4: somebody because we are in the desperate state of trying 581 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 4: to get some type of bad guy. And I find 582 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 4: that narrative kind of funny, but Donald jumps out enough 583 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 4: Man during a speech yesterday at the Auto Unions in Detroit, 584 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 4: said we're not playing these games anymore, and we need 585 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 4: to bring it back and refocus on what the priorities 586 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 4: are for policy in the nation. 587 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 5: And also we're freezing any in or welfare payments going 588 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 5: to illegal immigrants. That will start effective immediately. So when 589 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: illegals come into California, Gavin Newscomb, they come into they 590 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 5: come into California, and they send us bills for people coming. 591 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 14: In, We're not paying it. 592 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 5: So we're working on that very strongly. Just don't pay it. 593 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: We're just not going to pay the bill. 594 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 4: California may send us the bill for some kind of 595 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 4: social program, we're just not gonna pay it. 596 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: Now. 597 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 4: Of course, that again, like usual, be challenging courts and 598 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 4: we'll have to go through the whole process. Does you 599 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 4: have the right to actually do that? That will be 600 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 4: the challenge I know. Right now we're still battling on 601 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 4: whether the US Department of Agriculture can freeze these SNAP 602 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 4: benefits for states that have not provided the SNAP recipient 603 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 4: data over to the federal government. In the USDA, they 604 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 4: threaten that back in November at that last cabinet meeting 605 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 4: of the year. That hasn't happened quite yet, but we're 606 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 4: still working on it. We're working on cleaning up the fraud, 607 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 4: and that would be a great way to do it 608 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 4: if illegal migrants are receiving social benefits in some fashion. 609 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 4: As California tries to be the sanctuary state, Minnesota's trying 610 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 4: to be the sanctuary state. They're trying to protect a 611 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 4: lot of this fraud and distract us by demonizing Ice 612 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 4: and going after protests there as opposed to saying, hey, 613 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 4: there's a major problem we should probably focus on. Then. 614 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 4: I don't think that's a narrative that's really going to 615 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 4: work well for them, because again, this is not going away. 616 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 4: And if we're just ending the funding, guess what money 617 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 4: talks and it's a break. This is a huge opportunity, Dylan, 618 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 4: I'm glad you asked this question right. Here's a huge 619 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 4: opportunity for the left side of the aisle. They hate 620 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 4: the concept, or may not even be aware of the 621 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 4: concept anymore, of the idea of federalism. 622 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 2: Shoe off fans. 623 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 4: Anybody remember the term federalism what that actually means, meaning 624 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 4: states have the sovereign ability to make decisions outside of 625 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 4: the few duties that when we sign the Constitution, we 626 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 4: gave the federal government certain duties and powers under Article 627 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 4: one of the Constitution, what the role of Congress is, 628 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 4: what the role of the Executive branch is, what the 629 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 4: role of Supreme Court is. That we gave them specific 630 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 4: duties outside of that the Tenth Amendment State rights default 631 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 4: all the other powers back to the states. Now they've 632 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 4: gotten things kind of squirrely to recognize that immigration is 633 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 4: not a state policy. 634 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 3: They oversee, but. 635 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 4: It's the federal government's issue. But if they're worried about 636 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 4: welfare programs ending in their states, especially for those that 637 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 4: they want to protect that aren't supposed to be receiving 638 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 4: it because they're illegal aliens, and don't tell me it's 639 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 4: not happening, because we know that it is. If you're 640 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 4: really concerned about that, then maybe you should start wild 641 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 4: thought here using the concept of federalism, not allow the 642 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 4: federal government to dictate your policy at a state level, 643 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 4: by becoming more fiscally and financially independent. Wild concepts, right, 644 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 4: And this is something that Todd's talked about. I've talked 645 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 4: about quite a bit throughout different programs. We need to 646 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 4: get back to that anyways, and it not only helps 647 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 4: conservatives when a Democrats in power and Joe Biden's trying 648 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 4: to bully I'll never forget the conversation. If you remember 649 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 4: John Kasick, the former governor of Ohio. Not a big fan. 650 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 4: I grew up in Ohio. Not a big fan of 651 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 4: the guy. But when he was running for president the 652 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 4: first Trump turned around and John Kacick despised Donald Trump. 653 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 4: At that time, he was on the debate stage and 654 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 4: made a comment about I don't remember it was something 655 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 4: about gay marriage or abortion or some kind of social issue, 656 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 4: and he made the comment and openly said the quiet 657 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 4: part out loud on the debate stage that said, Yeah, 658 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 4: I would love to change policy on this issue as 659 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 4: a state, but I can't because if I did, then 660 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 4: the federal government has threatened to cut off the Medicaid 661 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 4: funding to the state of Ohio. And thirty percent of 662 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 4: the Ohio population at that time was on the Medicaid 663 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 4: program and we're kind of reliant on that. And that 664 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 4: was during the Obamacare time and Medicaid was getting the 665 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 4: ninety percent reimbursement from the federal government and that was 666 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 4: all a hefty chunk of their social programs. He openly 667 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 4: said it, I can't change state policy because if I did, 668 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 4: the federal government would cut off my funding. And that 669 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 4: tells us two things, right. It tells us number one, 670 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 4: the federal government has always been a mob like mentality, 671 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 4: the mobsters, regardless of what signs and power that the 672 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 4: federal government holds up financial burdens over the states in 673 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 4: order for them to dictate policy, which is wrong. And 674 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 4: number two, it really shows that well, the federal government 675 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 4: should be funding social programs and that states have kind 676 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 4: of had to bow down to the federal government on 677 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 4: multiple different manners. And it's been going on for a 678 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 4: long time, not just under the Donald Trump administration when 679 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 4: Democrats have said that now Donald Trump's bullying states by 680 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 4: threatening to cut off SNAP benefits if we don't receive 681 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 4: the SNAP data from the states, or the welfare programs, 682 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 4: if we don't like some of these programs. It's been 683 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 4: happening and going on for a long time, not just 684 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. But of course the media is not going 685 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 4: to report it that way. And if you want to 686 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 4: get out of that, if you want to get out 687 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 4: from under that burden. Then you stop accepting money from 688 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 4: the federal government and create your own state wide programs 689 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 4: that are funded by your state tax payers. Wild concept, 690 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: I know, but that's the way you gotta do it, 691 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 4: and that benefits both sides of the aisle to let 692 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 4: your state run the way that you actually wanted to run. 693 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: It's kind of like. 694 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 4: If your quasi out of the house, you're graduating high school, 695 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 4: you're about ready to go to college, and you're like, oh, 696 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 4: I want some financial assistance from mom and dad when 697 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 4: I'm in college. At the same time, I have a 698 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 4: whole bunch of plans me personally. I wanted to get 699 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 4: a tattoo. 700 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: Dylan. Do you have any tattoos? Dylan? 701 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 15: And do you have a tattoo? Yeah, you do have 702 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 15: a tattoo. Okay, when did you get it? Did you 703 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 15: get it in college? I got it right when I 704 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 15: turned eighteen. 705 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 4: Oh, you are a rebel man, you are, see. I 706 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 4: wanted one as well. My parents hated tattoos, and they 707 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 4: told me when I was in college, if you get 708 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 4: a tattoo, then obviously you can afford a tattoo, and 709 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 4: therefore you don't need any more financial assistance for mom 710 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 4: and dad when you're in college, and that was the 711 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 4: threat that they made. They held that over my head, 712 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 4: and I was not able to get a tattoo. I 713 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 4: know people are laughing right now and saying, oh my gosh, 714 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 4: really you're talking about tattoos. It's a great example because 715 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 4: I wanted to get a tattoo. I had to until 716 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 4: after I was off the financial support of mom and 717 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 4: dad in college, when I went off on my own. 718 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 4: Then I got my tattoo, and now I'm happy as 719 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 4: a clam. And now I want to whole bunch more tattoos. 720 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 4: But that's another story for another time. But it's the 721 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 4: same situation. If you don't want the rules of the house, 722 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 4: then you leave the house and you end up going 723 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 4: intoing your own thing. Democrats haven't quite figured that out 724 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 4: yet because they like the mothership of the grand large 725 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 4: government taking care of you, funding all of your programs 726 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 4: in like California, where you can get in massive amounts 727 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 4: of debt and you can just have the federal government 728 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 4: bail you out by subsidies coming in from other states. 729 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 4: Your thoughts on this in more nine oh one, two six, 730 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 4: zero fifty nine, twenty six.

I like the 752 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 4: analogy we use the tattoo. I think that worked out 753 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 4: really well. 754 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 2: You know what. 755 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 4: That fit the narrative quite well on the idea of 756 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 4: becoming financially wicked, wildly independent as a state. And I 757 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 4: think that you should for sure because is Donald Trump, 758 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 4: by the way, not only stopped at the we're going 759 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 4: to stop welfare programs coming into states during his speech, 760 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 4: but he went as far as anybody who may be 761 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 4: considered a sanctuary state or city may also be ending 762 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 4: some of their funding. 763 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 5: Additionally, starting February first, we're not making any payments to 764 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 5: sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do 765 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 5: everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American 766 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 5: citizens and it breeds fraud and crime and all of 767 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 5: the other problems that come. So we're not making any 768 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 5: payment to anybody that supports sanctuaryites. 769 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 4: Look again, I mean it's going to be challenging court. 770 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,439 Speaker 4: We'll see if that actually follows through. But that's pretty 771 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 4: awesome if we're able to make something like that happen 772 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 4: and say if you're not abiding it. 773 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 2: Again, we have to understand. 774 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 4: Constitutional rule I'm glad that we have an opportunity to 775 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 4: do constitutional oversight one oh one on the Top Starnes 776 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 4: Radio program today for a Wednesday. Immigration is a federal policy. 777 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 4: It is not a state policy. It is not a 778 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 4: city policy. It's not a county policy. States and cities 779 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:08,240 Speaker 4: and counties cannot declare themselves as sanctuary for undocumented illegal aliens. 780 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 4: That's not how law works. Then if you think that 781 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 4: you can just take the responsibility into your own hands, 782 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 4: then you're sadly mistaken, and the federal government's going to 783 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 4: correct you on that pretty quickly. Kind of like if 784 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 4: you choose not to pay your taxes. It may be stupid, 785 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 4: we have to pay so many taxes, but if you 786 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 4: don't see how well that works out for you, because 787 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 4: it usually doesn't work out too well for most individuals. Now, 788 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 4: that's not to say that if the federal government does 789 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 4: not hold up there into the bargain bargain as someone 790 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 4: whose duty it is to oversee immigration policy, then you 791 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 4: have to figure it out on your own. And you'll 792 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 4: remember during the Biden administration when they were like, we 793 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 4: need to pass a bill, we can't enforce anything yet. 794 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 4: Then Texas took the matters into their own hands and 795 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 4: put the bowies out in the river. And they were 796 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 4: trying to stop it with themselves and deal with immigration 797 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 4: flooding in during that time, and then Trump came in 798 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 4: and within what three months, we saw zero crossings. It 799 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 4: changed pretty quickly on that front. So, yeah, we have 800 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 4: some work to do. Their priorities are kind of messed 801 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 4: up from the other side of the aisle, but they're 802 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 4: recognizing and hopefully they will realize pretty soon that the 803 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 4: funding will dry up for their states unless they make 804 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 4: some drastic changes and begin to work with us instead 805 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 4: of try and fight against us. We can do it 806 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 4: the easy way or the hard way, and we're going 807 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 4: to follow and abide by the Constitution, which leads to 808 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 4: By the way, I just saw a headline during the 809 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 4: break that the number of Democrats in the House of 810 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 4: Representatives has now reached sixty Democrats that are advocating for 811 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 4: the impeachment of Christine Nome as the Department of Homeland 812 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 4: Security because of all the ice issues in drama that 813 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 4: we're seeing.

A column is at the bottom of 863 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 4: the hour. I know, a weekly visit with her jumping 864 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 4: on the Ton Starns program to discuss multiple different issues, 865 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 4: and there's plenty to talk about. I'm still waiting, Dylan again, 866 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,879 Speaker 4: keep me aprized. We're waiting for the live video or 867 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 4: the potential conversation with Denmark and with Greenland that we'll 868 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 4: get to in just a moment here. Also, apparently Donald 869 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 4: Trump's about ready to do a signing ceremony for some bill. 870 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 4: We don't know what bill it is, so if any 871 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 4: of that happens during the program, we will go live 872 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 4: to those and cover some of it. But that being said, 873 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 4: there has been a lot of activity in Congress the 874 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 4: past few days. And I say that well quasi progressive 875 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 4: right and progressive being actual like productive, not progressive ideologically. 876 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 4: There has been a lot of movement because we are 877 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 4: two weeks away now three weeks away from the end 878 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 4: of the month of January. That means if Congress does 879 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 4: not approve the rest of the appropriations process, we could 880 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 4: see another government shut down. And if the government shuts down, 881 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 4: it won't be like it was last time in October. 882 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 4: But it's still a little ridiculous. Congress. You have one job, 883 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 4: bro one job, especially House representatives the power of the person. 884 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 4: You have one job pass the budget, and you have 885 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,280 Speaker 4: an entire year to do it. And for some reason, 886 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 4: we continue to put up a wall and fight this 887 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 4: over and we have these continuing resolutions, and we have 888 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,280 Speaker 4: these omnibus packages and all. 889 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 2: The other stuff. 890 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 4: The other projects that Congress is working on, though, include 891 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 4: some of the transparency. And there was a hearing yesterday. Shockingly, 892 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 4: not very shockingly, there was a person that was supposed 893 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 4: to show up for a hearing and did not show 894 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,439 Speaker 4: up where the House Oversight Committee was well, not really 895 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 4: expecting him in the first place. 896 00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 17: Think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. 897 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 17: And I think it's important to note that this subpoena 898 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 17: was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee. 899 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 17: This wasn't something that I just issued as chairman of 900 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 17: the committee. This was voted on by the entire committee 901 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 17: in a unanimous vote of the House Overside Committee to 902 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 17: subpoena former President Clinton and former Secretary. 903 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 2: State Hillary Clinton. 904 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 17: Hillary Clinton supposed to show up tomorrow. 905 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 8: We'll see what happens there. 906 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 17: But with respect to the former president, he did not 907 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 17: show up today. One reason I think most Americans want 908 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 17: President Clinton to answer some questions whore is because he 909 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 17: visited the White House. Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 910 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 17: seventeen times bab Bill Clinton was president. I've been in 911 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 17: Congress nine years. I think I've been to the White 912 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 17: House nine times to nine years. Epstein was in the 913 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 17: White House double the amount of time that I was underwing. 914 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 4: All right, So there it is, all right. The Epstein 915 00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 4: investigation still ongoing. I know this is kind of a 916 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 4: source for many people as well, because the Epstein case, 917 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 4: we were supposed to get all of the documents from 918 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 4: the Department of Justice, all of it was supposed to 919 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 4: be a dump like what two three weeks ago now, 920 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 4: and it hasn't happened. We've gotten a lot, but we 921 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 4: still have a lot more that needs to be dumped. 922 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 2: Out there. 923 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 4: There's still censoring and blocking some of the content that's 924 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 4: coming out of these documents, and I know it's very 925 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 4: frustrating for a lot of individuals, and to be honest, 926 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 4: out of all the great wins that we've had under 927 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 4: this Trump administration, and let's be honest, that's a lot. 928 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,919 Speaker 4: This presidential administration, this cabinet has been the most successful 929 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 4: and most productive administration in modern American history. Whether you 930 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 4: like the agenda or not, it's been the most productive 931 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,280 Speaker 4: and the most successful in getting and accomplishing their agenda 932 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 4: in any presidency of the modern American history. With the 933 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 4: amount of stuff that we've been able to do, peace deals, tariffs, taxes, 934 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 4: spending department and government efficiency with DOGE, the transparency that 935 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 4: we're working on, I mean, just across the board, Donald 936 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 4: Trump has been an absolute freaking rock star and it's 937 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 4: really awesome to see. But one of the down one 938 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 4: of the shadows lingering, the cloud lingering over this administration 939 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 4: has been the Epstein issue. And while it's now available 940 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 4: to be public and they're working on releasing a lot 941 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 4: more of these documents, Democrats have tried to play the 942 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 4: game where they've released a whole bunch of pictures that 943 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 4: show Jeffrey Epstein with Donald Trump, or Donald Trump with 944 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 4: the Epstein people, or in his vicinity or taking picture 945 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 4: with girls and everything. The problem is, none of it's 946 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 4: been bad, and they've been pictures that we've already seen, 947 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 4: or they've been in public areas where there's no shenanigans 948 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 4: actually going on. But those have been the selective photos 949 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 4: that Democrats in the Oversight Committee have been releasing to 950 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 4: the general populace. The problems that we have are the 951 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 4: ones that really, truly, honestly do have some questions to 952 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 4: be answered, because there's legitimate problems like I don't know, 953 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 4: Bill Clinton having a painting of him in a blue 954 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 4: dress at the Epstein Island that you should probably ask 955 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 4: about that, and they didn't show up. And the reason 956 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 4: they probably didn't show up in Hillary more than life, 957 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 4: he's not showing up today is because of the fact that, well, 958 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 4: they don't take it serious that it's going to be 959 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 4: a hearing. They're going to banter, we're going to grandstand, 960 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 4: make a few different audio clips and soundbits about how 961 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 4: angry we are about not showing up and getting down 962 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 4: to the root of the issue, and then we're gonna 963 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 4: blow off it and it's just gonna go nowhere. And 964 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,240 Speaker 4: I think that that's where Congress has been for a while, 965 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 4: and I think it's time for most Americans. I would agree, 966 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 4: and if you disagree, I'd love to hear from you 967 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 4: on the program that I think most Americans now are 968 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 4: tired of just the talking and they want action. I'm 969 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 4: pretty sure that we're tired and we want answers to 970 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 4: these issues and actual results as opposed to just the 971 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 4: bantering about how frustrated we are about the process in general. 972 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 4: So we'll keep you apprized of that. We'll see if 973 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:44,839 Speaker 4: Hillary actually shows up. 974 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 2: Not likely. 975 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 4: I'm putting my money not on that one. Haven't seen 976 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 4: any news on it yet. But Bill Clinton not showing 977 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 4: up yesterday. All right, Dylan, are we seeing anything about 978 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 4: Greenland yet? The Associated Press has a video of just 979 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 4: like the outside of the White House. Don't see any 980 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 4: movement on this whole Greenland conversation yet to. 981 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 15: You, No, I don't. I'm looking at the same shot. 982 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 15: It's a good shot. It's a beautiful shot. I mean 983 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 15: it's a beautiful I that's the most beautiful I knows 984 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 15: we've ever seen it. On the face of the earth. 985 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,320 Speaker 15: Oh wry, It's wonderful. I'm really excited to hear this conversation. 986 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 15: I've joked about this. 987 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 4: I know Donald Trump teased it when he first came 988 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 4: into office, of hey, we want to make Canada the 989 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,879 Speaker 4: fifty first state. They weren't very thrilled about that. They 990 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 4: got a little angry, which is why we saw a 991 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 4: little tariff tiff for a while between those two. That's 992 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 4: pretty much calm down now, but he's not let go 993 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 4: of this issue of Greenland. And I find that really fascinating. 994 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 4: Now for those that are andy, you're imperialist, You're taking 995 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 4: over another nation. That's not how things work in the 996 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,319 Speaker 4: twenty first century. That's had completely different conversation. You got 997 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 4: to remember that we've had a long history with Greenland, 998 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,840 Speaker 4: and I know back in the early nineteen hundreds, we 999 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 4: essentially gave Greenland over to Denmark to oversee and just said, hey, 1000 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 4: you guys kind of handle this. We're done with it 1001 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 4: with the area, although we probably had most purview of 1002 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 4: it at that time. Then in the fifties, at the 1003 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 4: same time, then Denmark allowed us to have military protection 1004 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 4: over Greenland. So we've had a long history with Greenland 1005 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,320 Speaker 4: over the decades, which has been honestly really cool. Donald 1006 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 4: Trump made a statement a couple of days ago about 1007 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 4: how you know we're just gonna go in and take 1008 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 4: it over, because well, they have two dog sleds that 1009 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,359 Speaker 4: are actually protecting it, and that was the statement, even 1010 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 4: how they have two dog sleds, they don't have any 1011 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 4: defense and if anybody tried to take them over, if 1012 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 4: Russia came in or China came in, they'd not be 1013 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 4: able to protect them, which was honestly kind of funny 1014 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 4: and really snarky towards Denmark. They probably didn't appreciate that. 1015 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,800 Speaker 4: But here's the kicker. Since these announcements have been happening, 1016 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 4: and apparently supposedly Vice President JD. Vance is going to 1017 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,319 Speaker 4: be sitting down with Denmark and with Greenland the Prime 1018 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 4: Minister of Greenland today at the Oval Office at some 1019 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 4: point today hopefully relatively soon. While that's happening, we're getting 1020 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 4: word from the English news about now how Denmark has 1021 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:06,879 Speaker 4: sent military forces to Greenland for protection and I I mean, look, 1022 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 4: apparently Greenland, Greenland can't defend itself, which is kind of funny, 1023 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 4: but why would you have to send armed forces to 1024 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 4: Greenland from Denmark. Donald Trump is not going We're gonna 1025 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 4: be very clear here. Maybe I'm wrong, we haven't been yet. 1026 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure Todd hasn't been wrong on this issue. 1027 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 4: I don't think that the United States is going to 1028 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 4: militarily invade Greenland, Dylan, I don't think that's gonna happen. 1029 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 4: That would be hilarious, but I don't think it's gonna happen. Yeah, 1030 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,439 Speaker 4: I agree, Yeah, I mean, maybe there's how many people 1031 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 4: Let's do a quick Google search on Live on the 1032 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 4: Air here, population of Greenland? What is that population of Greenland? 1033 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,760 Speaker 4: Because it's not very much. Oh, fifty six thousand people, 1034 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 4: that's it. Fifty six thousand that is I don't even 1035 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 4: know how to put a comparison to that. That's not 1036 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 4: a lot of people at all in the entire large 1037 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 4: span of Greenland. Now, I've said before I enjoy colder climates. 1038 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 4: I've been very angry. Our Christmas in Wichita, Kansas was 1039 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 4: seventy degrees on Christmas Day. It has been sixty five 1040 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 4: all the first week of January in Kansas. I'm not 1041 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 4: thrilled about that. I want to move to a place 1042 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 4: where in the summertime, it's like forty degrees. In the 1043 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,240 Speaker 4: winter time, it's like negative twenty degrees. And I'm completely content. 1044 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 4: So if we end up doing anything with Greenland, I 1045 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 4: will be the first to admit I will be the 1046 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 4: first one to move to Greenland, and I will be 1047 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 4: the fifty six thousand and first person to actually be there, 1048 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 4: because I guess there's just a really small population that 1049 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 4: we need to address and that we have a lot 1050 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 4: of resources there, and it's now priority Numero uno for 1051 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 4: the Trump administration, to the point now apparently they've put 1052 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 4: a dollar figure on the potential purchasing of Greenland outright 1053 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 4: of seven hundred billion dollars. And we're getting conflicting reports 1054 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 4: right now. We hear from Denmark itself saying there's no way, 1055 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,800 Speaker 4: absolutely not shut down conversation. We're not handing over Greenland 1056 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,840 Speaker 4: at all. We're hearing from the Prime Minister of Greenland 1057 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,400 Speaker 4: against saying the same thing. Absolutely no way. We're happy 1058 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 4: with Denmark. There's no way whatsoever that we're becoming part 1059 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:09,439 Speaker 4: of the United States. The independent journalists, on the other hand, 1060 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 4: from the United States apparently have gone to Greenland and 1061 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 4: have come out with the reports that say that overwhelmingly 1062 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 4: almost ninety nine percent of the population that they talk 1063 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 4: to are in support of becoming part of the United States. 1064 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 4: So the people are okay with it. The leadership's not. 1065 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 4: And that makes me wonder what kind of game is 1066 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 4: going to be played to try and haggle to potentially 1067 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 4: eventually sell off Greenland to the United States, or if 1068 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,360 Speaker 4: it's even worth doing that. Donald Trump apparently sees that 1069 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 4: it is. He sees that as a military opportunity for 1070 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 4: US being closer to Russia into China. He sees the 1071 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 4: resources potentially there, and we get a larger landscape and 1072 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,360 Speaker 4: we get a nice colder climate where we get to 1073 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 4: actually take care of you know, being Dylan, are you 1074 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 4: with me on that forty degree summers, negative twenty winners? 1075 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:53,919 Speaker 4: Are you okay with that? 1076 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 15: You know, I'm actually down for that because I like 1077 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 15: the cold, but Greenland is You're very very cool. I 1078 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 15: think that is very very cool. 1079 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 4: You're the first one that I've asked that question too 1080 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,359 Speaker 4: that actually agreed with me on that, because I get 1081 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 4: really crazy looks. I'm sorry, I can't deal with one 1082 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 4: hundred and ten degree whether during the summers. 1083 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 2: I just can't do it and you can't do it. 1084 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 15: We get terribly hot summers and yeah, our house is 1085 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 15: kept at sixty degrees. 1086 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 2: So that's all I'll say. I just can't do it. Yeah, 1087 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy. 1088 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,920 Speaker 4: So here's the question for you nine one two six 1089 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 4: zero fifty nine twenty six Is it worth purchasing Greenland? 1090 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 4: And do you think an over or under? Will it 1091 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 4: actually happen? Because it was a pipe dream. It was 1092 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 4: kind of a taunting, a trolling that Donald Trump started 1093 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,760 Speaker 4: with with this conversation a year ago. Now we're literally 1094 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 4: having Denmark and the Prime Minister of Greenland at the 1095 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 4: White House today with Vice President jd. Vance, potentially President 1096 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 4: Donald Trump after his bill signing ceremony he's going to 1097 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,359 Speaker 4: have later on today as well, potentially having those conversations 1098 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 4: with a dollar figure now of seven hundred billion dollars 1099 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 4: to outright purchase Greenland. Will it actually happen? Is it 1100 00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 4: just more of taunting to try and negotiate better trade 1101 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,360 Speaker 4: d what's the real story behind the scenes for the 1102 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 4: Trump administration to actually make this happen. But when Donald 1103 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 4: Trump locks in on something, he gets that tunnel vision. Man, 1104 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 4: he really really really wants it to happen, and when 1105 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 4: it does, he usually finds a way to make it happen. 1106 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 4: As mister business deal himself, mister real estate mongol himself, 1107 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 4: he finds a way to make a deal. And apparently 1108 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 4: Greenland is top a priority for him right now, according 1109 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 4: to sources within the Trump administration. Well, it happened or not, 1110 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 4: that's up for you to tell. I want to hear 1111 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 4: your thoughts. Nine one two six year old five nine 1112 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 4: twenty six. It is the Todd Starnes Radio program back 1113 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 4: after this, Hey, welcome back to it, The Todd Strange 1114 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 4: Radio programm Andy, Who's you're sitting in today? Moving those 1115 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 4: Liberty Liberty University studios out here to which Talk Kansas 1116 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,959 Speaker 4: my flagship station. Great to be on today for Todd, 1117 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 4: he is out and about doing his thing. We are 1118 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 4: possibly getting closer to a conversation with the Greenland chat, 1119 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 4: and should we be purchasing or taking over Greenland? Is 1120 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,320 Speaker 4: the question today? One two six zero fifty nine to 1121 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:02,800 Speaker 4: twenty six. I want to think about it from a 1122 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 4: different angle from the sense that we have an America 1123 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 4: first agenda. We're looking for the benefits of America and 1124 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 4: whether we should be taking over Land I saw actually 1125 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 4: a post on social media during the break of someone 1126 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 4: just commenting on the topic in general that said that 1127 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 4: this isn't the you know, a thousand years ago when 1128 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 4: we just militarily go and take over a nation, and 1129 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 4: now we take over this land. We're not doing imperialism. 1130 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 4: Here's the thing. We're not an imperialist nation. We're not 1131 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,759 Speaker 4: even with the whole Venezuela issue and Trump trolling, which 1132 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 4: the trolling is, let's be honest, next level when he 1133 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,759 Speaker 4: posts on his truth social a picture of him on 1134 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 4: like a Wikipedia page saying the new president of Venezuela. 1135 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 4: That's next le that's next level trolling. But we're not 1136 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 4: actually taking over Venezuela. We're kind of dictating policy right now, 1137 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 4: but we're doing it the right way. That if we 1138 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 4: are gonna take out a leader, then we're going to 1139 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 4: make sure the right person gets in office that's not 1140 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 4: going to be the same kind of person, just to 1141 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 4: refill the gap again, and that we're gonna have a 1142 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,760 Speaker 4: good relationship with them and that everybody can be happy, 1143 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 4: and that's the proper way to do it. This isn't 1144 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,320 Speaker 4: the George Bush era. We're going to take over Iraq 1145 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 4: then do the purple finger voting. If you remember that 1146 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,440 Speaker 4: everybody had the purple finger saying that they voted trying 1147 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,919 Speaker 4: to implement a constitution. When that style of governance went 1148 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 4: so far over their heads and they got the glossy 1149 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 4: eyed they had no clue how to actually work it, 1150 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 4: which is why it crumbled really bad. And then you 1151 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 4: had the different religious sect that just didn't like each other, 1152 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 4: and you had to try and get all of them 1153 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 4: to get along, and it was a major failure. That's 1154 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,400 Speaker 4: not what we're talking about here. With Venezuela, that was 1155 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,320 Speaker 4: strategic because we had Nicholas Maduro, who had a fifty 1156 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 4: billion dollar bounty on his head because he was human trafficking. 1157 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,919 Speaker 4: He had put assassination hits on the elected officials here 1158 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 4: in the United States. He was human trafficking, drug trafficking. 1159 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 4: He was just a bad guy and he was a 1160 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 4: wanted man, and we did a military operation with law 1161 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 4: enforcement to extract him, and we didn't take over the soil. 1162 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 4: It's not part of the United States. It quasi kind 1163 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 4: of is right now based on policy dictating that we're doing. 1164 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 4: But it's not going to be that way for long. 1165 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,399 Speaker 4: With Greenland. I don't know why Denmark is now sent 1166 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,720 Speaker 4: they've sent not only the military, but it's their Danish 1167 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 4: armed forces, or they've showed up according to a Danish 1168 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 4: broadcaster that said it on yesterday earlier today on Wednesday, 1169 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 4: actually saying that Denmark is deploying military equipment and advanced 1170 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 4: troops to the island to prepare for the possible arrival 1171 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 4: of large forces from the Danish Army and other branches 1172 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 4: of the armed forces to prepare for a potential invasion, 1173 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 4: saying quote, a more prominent and larger military presence will 1174 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 4: be had as a clear response to the challenges facing 1175 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 4: the Arctic. They didn't quite come out and say that 1176 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 4: it was a threat of Donald Trump in the United 1177 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 4: States militarily taking over Greenland, but they're just saying based 1178 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 4: on the challenges facing the Arctic. So unless there's a 1179 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,960 Speaker 4: mass of increase in polar bears invading Greenland, then I 1180 00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 4: think the only other threat they're worried about right now 1181 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 4: would be the threat of the United States. And that's 1182 00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 4: kind of laughable because we're literally about ready to have 1183 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 4: a diplomatic conversation about what goes on here. But on 1184 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 4: the America first agenda and looking at the priorities of 1185 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 4: what we want here. Venezuela was strategic because who controlled Venezuela. 1186 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 4: If it wasn't US, it was Russia. If it wasn't Russia, 1187 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 4: it was China. The resources, the gold or the diamonds 1188 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 4: or whatever they have there, The oil that they're producing 1189 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 4: right now, which is roughly a million barrels a day. 1190 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 4: Once we upgrade the infrastructure, it's going to be roughly 1191 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 4: two to two and a half million barrels a day 1192 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 4: of oil that they can produce that's being bought by US, 1193 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,000 Speaker 4: the United States, to help stabilize their economy, stabilize their 1194 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 4: value of their dollar. They can get their economy back 1195 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 4: on track. People can actually start celebrating again, open up businesses, 1196 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 4: do what they need to do. That's a great success 1197 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 4: for them and a benefit for US for more oil 1198 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 4: when we already have, by the way, record low oil 1199 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 4: prices with what thirty state thirty five states out under 1200 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,640 Speaker 4: three dollars a gallon, and that's a big win for 1201 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 4: US and record that we haven't seen since the last 1202 00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 4: Trump administration. Greenland is the same way, and I think 1203 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 4: that US keeping a closer eye on enemies over there 1204 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,040 Speaker 4: would be a relative benefit. So whether it becomes a 1205 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 4: fifty first state or whether we just take more responsibility 1206 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 4: over the nation, I think is something worth having a 1207 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 4: conversation about, and they see the value in that. We'll 1208 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 4: see if we can win over the Danish with this 1209 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 4: conversation that they've been pretty cold on even having in 1210 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 4: the first place. We got lots more to get you, 1211 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 4: plus Liz peek around the corner, Andy, who's're sitting in 1212 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 4: for the Todd Starns radio program? Lots more coming up? 1213 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 3: Stay here. 1214 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to it.

Man, 1218 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 4: I cannot wait for those conversations. I cannot wait to see. 1219 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 4: I want to see Greenland. Is that number fifty one 1220 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 4: star on the American flat again? Trolling or serious conversation. 1221 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 4: It sounds like it's becoming more serious now with them 1222 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,120 Speaker 4: about ready to meet to earlier or later on today, 1223 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 4: really any time that we could see that. Also, we 1224 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 4: are following the Trump administration, could be signing a new bill, 1225 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 4: doing a bill signing ceremony here relatively soon. Would keep 1226 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 4: you a price and Tod startin. If you want more 1227 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,600 Speaker 4: information on Todd obviously Tom Starnes dot com, he can 1228 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 4: find his Facebook page. He had just posted a little 1229 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,200 Speaker 4: while ago. The ICE agent that was hit by the 1230 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 4: vehicle up in Minneapolis, I know the other side of 1231 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,240 Speaker 4: the He actually didn't get it hit, but the guy 1232 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 4: that did get hit has been reported that he is 1233 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:40,280 Speaker 4: in the hospital with internal bleeding, which is very sad. 1234 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,040 Speaker 4: So he thought some prayers to him and hopefully he 1235 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,120 Speaker 4: can have some proper recovery. This is a guy, by 1236 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 4: the way, that was dragged like six months ago, was 1237 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 4: dragged by a vehicle too from another protester that was 1238 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 4: fighting against ICE. Saw all the well wishes in quick 1239 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 4: recovery for him, while the Minneapolis mayor said that it 1240 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,720 Speaker 4: was nothing more than a slight bruise that was like 1241 01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 4: trying to shut the refrigerator door with your hip. By 1242 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 4: downplaying this, the guy's got internal bleeding because the lady 1243 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 4: ended up hitting him. While they try to say that 1244 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 4: ICE is the Gestapo trying to get us crazy times, 1245 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:13,560 Speaker 4: punt I want to shift gears and go over to 1246 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 4: the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Hotline as an annual or a 1247 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 4: weekly segment here on the tot Starance radio program. To 1248 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,920 Speaker 4: have our next guest on here as an American commentator column, 1249 01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:22,800 Speaker 4: to stand so much more. 1250 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 2: Liz Peak is with us today. Liz, how are you, 1251 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 2: my friend? 1252 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,400 Speaker 10: I'm terrific. Thanks so much for having me on. 1253 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, appreciate you jumping on here with the Todd Starns 1254 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,000 Speaker 4: Radio show. I got to ask you, we are getting 1255 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 4: closer to a sit down conversation for the potential purchasing 1256 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 4: of the sum of seven hundred billion dollars for Greenland. 1257 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 4: We've seen the report apparently this morning that Denmark has 1258 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 4: now sent the Danish Armed Forces for an increase in 1259 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 4: armed forces presence to Greenland with a concern of I 1260 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 4: don't know, an increase in polar bear activity or because 1261 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 4: of an invasion of Donald Trump with the military here 1262 01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 4: or something. But is this really happening? Are we about 1263 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 4: to see the potential purchasing of Greenland? 1264 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 10: No, when you say the Danish Armed forces, this is 1265 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 10: really a horrible thing to say, but immediately popped into 1266 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 10: my mind someone in Knights armor, you know, like a 1267 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 10: four cartoon people. We had lances et cetera. I've never 1268 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 10: heard of the Danish armed forces. I'm sure they're credible, 1269 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 10: but they're kind of a funny. 1270 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,920 Speaker 4: They're experts in jousting, Yes, they're experts in jousting. 1271 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 10: So so look, I think this is like the fifth 1272 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,760 Speaker 10: or sixth time in American history that we have gone 1273 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 10: after Greenland with purpose. People have made offers for Greenland, 1274 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 10: going back to you know, Eisenhower days, and before that, 1275 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 10: in the eighteen hundreds, we tried to buy Greenland. We 1276 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 10: tried to buy it when we bought simultaneously Alaska from Russia. 1277 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,440 Speaker 10: And by the way, think about that. I can imagine 1278 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 10: if Alaska we're still Russian owned, and whatever reason, it 1279 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 10: never has happened, even though we offered always far less 1280 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 10: than now. The island is worth. What is it worth? 1281 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 10: Really nobody knows, and Greenland Denmark says that they're not 1282 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:11,439 Speaker 10: interested in concluding a deal. I think Donald Trump would 1283 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 10: be a loon to actually invade Greenland. I don't think 1284 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,920 Speaker 10: that's really on the table. I may be wrong, but 1285 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 10: I don't think so. I think what he's doing is 1286 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 10: trying to pressure the government of Denmark into making a deal. 1287 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 10: And remember early on when this came up the first time. 1288 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 10: Denmark was not like resolutely opposed to it, and the 1289 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:35,400 Speaker 10: inhabitants of Greenland seemed somewhat open to it. And then 1290 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 10: I think the Trump administration got very aggressive on this, 1291 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 10: and so sure enough it resulted in the Danish government 1292 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 10: saying no way, because their own people were sort of like, well, no, 1293 01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 10: we shouldn't be doing this. This is bad to cave 1294 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 10: to Donald Trump, but bottom line, Trump's pretty good at 1295 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 10: doing deals. I think this would be an awesome geopolitical 1296 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 10: win for the United States strategically, as everyone has said, 1297 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 10: it's some very important assets, particularly as the ice barriers 1298 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:13,480 Speaker 10: to shipping into the Arctic have had more or less dissolved. 1299 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:18,520 Speaker 10: It's much easier now to access the Arctic, and Greenland 1300 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 10: would be a very very good opportunity for US. I 1301 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 10: think at the least we want to expand our military 1302 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 10: presence there and do some pretty significant deals on rare earth, 1303 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 10: which Greenland has in in tremendous quantities. 1304 01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a really great point. Like you said, if 1305 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 4: anybody's able to do it, even though we've tried it 1306 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 4: for years and decades, if anybody is able to do it, 1307 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,919 Speaker 4: it would be a real estate mongol deal negotiator, someone 1308 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 4: like Donald Trump who could actually step in and try 1309 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 4: and have these conversations. Why do you think that we're 1310 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 4: seeing Denmark want to hold on to it so badly, 1311 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,600 Speaker 4: but like you said, not do anything with it, to 1312 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 4: try and set the value of the land, to try 1313 01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 4: and see what resources and minerals they actually have want it, 1314 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 4: but they don't want to do anything with it. That's 1315 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 4: kind of weird to me. 1316 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, look, Trump derangement syndrome is not limited to 1317 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,960 Speaker 10: this continent. And the Europeans really hate Donald Trump. I 1318 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 10: mean the sort of best wing bureaucrats in charge of 1319 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 10: the EU and in charge of many of these countries 1320 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,040 Speaker 10: are not big fans of Donald Trump. But I also 1321 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 10: think look, from their point of view, they can extract 1322 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,439 Speaker 10: a bigger and bigger price if they behave that way. 1323 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 10: But to your point, what are they doing with that? 1324 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,760 Speaker 10: I mean, one thing one thought I have, and honestly 1325 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 10: I'm sort of spitballing here is as you know, it 1326 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 10: isn't just the control of rare earth that is important. 1327 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 10: That Chinese came in and undercut the rare earth pricing 1328 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 10: when we actually were the dominant producer many years ago 1329 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 10: and made it unprofitable for us. But what they really control, 1330 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 10: for a lot of other reasons is processing. And what 1331 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:59,040 Speaker 10: a great opportunity to set up some processing facilities in 1332 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 10: Greenland where you have an awful lot of land that 1333 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:08,600 Speaker 10: is unoccupied. It's a tremendous environmental issue processing these rare 1334 01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 10: earths because you have to protest huge amounts of ore 1335 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 10: to get it very small amounts of the material that 1336 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,680 Speaker 10: you're going after. But maybe Greenland is a place where 1337 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,680 Speaker 10: that could happen. Now you know that's going to inflame 1338 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 10: the idea people who are pretty set on Greenland being 1339 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:27,640 Speaker 10: this pristine landscape and it is that, But nonetheless, I 1340 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 10: think there are some opportunities there. And again, you know 1341 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 10: Denmark or why haven't they taken advantage of it? Well, 1342 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 10: let's see, when was the last time you heard about 1343 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 10: a really nature business or technological breakthrough out of Denmark. 1344 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 10: I don't mean to be unkind, but you know, Tivoli 1345 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 10: Gardens is what I think of when I think of Denmark, 1346 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,400 Speaker 10: and not much more than that. 1347 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 4: That's a great point. I love the Scandinavian countries, you know, 1348 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 4: I love it. And I've said if Donald Trump purchases Greenland, 1349 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 4: I will be resident number one to move up there 1350 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 4: into the cold client. I like my negative twenty degree temperature, 1351 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 4: so I'm totally happy with it. But you know, they 1352 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 4: are the Scandinavian areas, they just they just kind of 1353 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 4: go with the flow. They don't do a whole lot. 1354 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 4: We don't hear a lot of news coming out of 1355 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,040 Speaker 4: those areas, for sure. Let's shift gears. 1356 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:12,240 Speaker 2: Listen. 1357 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 4: I wanted to pick your brain on the Iranian revolution 1358 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 4: right now that's going on and the talking foreign policy, 1359 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 4: how much the US should or should not be involved 1360 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 4: in this. Donald Trump, speaking yesterday in Detroit, said this. 1361 01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 5: Still, all Iranian patriots, keep protesting, take over your institutions 1362 01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:35,440 Speaker 5: if possible, and save the name of the killers and 1363 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 5: the abusers that are abusing. You're being very badly abused. 1364 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1365 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,480 Speaker 4: So we don't know the numbers right now because they 1366 01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,600 Speaker 4: have cut off the internet. The nation's gone dark for 1367 01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,160 Speaker 4: the most part. We've heard numbers between three thousand to 1368 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 4: like twenty thousand people that have potentially been slaughtered by 1369 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,240 Speaker 4: the government. I know that there's a really big push 1370 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,960 Speaker 4: right now in the MAGA movement, the America First Movement 1371 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 4: to not be the regime changer, administration, or the toppling 1372 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 4: of nations getting involved. But at the same time, we 1373 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 4: have an opportunity to get rid of a really, really 1374 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 4: bad dictator in a puppet of Russia. 1375 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 2: How much should we be involved in this? 1376 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 10: Well, I think we should do everything we can to 1377 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:16,320 Speaker 10: help the movement that wants to get rid of the 1378 01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 10: Iatolas and the theocratic regime pursue that end. I don't 1379 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 10: think we should have boots on the ground. I don't 1380 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,679 Speaker 10: know that we should wage war against Iran. But for example, 1381 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 10: you mentioned they've shut down the Internet, they've shut down communications. 1382 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,160 Speaker 10: We can help with that. Elon Muskin help with that. 1383 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 10: I'm surprised that hasn't already happened because Musk very early 1384 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:42,600 Speaker 10: and the Ukraine War went in and established Starlink satellite communications. 1385 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,320 Speaker 10: I assume that that's going on in some capacity right now. 1386 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 10: Here's a big problem. And this is really a note 1387 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 10: to people who are enthusiastic about the Second Amendment. The 1388 01:08:55,560 --> 01:09:00,200 Speaker 10: reason this is really difficult and that even now the 1389 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,559 Speaker 10: toppling of the regime is unlikely according to an awful 1390 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 10: lot of people I speak to, is that the people 1391 01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 10: have no guns. It is a completely unfair, lopsided fight 1392 01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:17,719 Speaker 10: between a regime, the Iranian Revolutionary National Guard, all these 1393 01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:21,639 Speaker 10: militant organizations inside Iran. They are armed and they can 1394 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 10: shoot people. People cannot shoot back. So when Donald Trump 1395 01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:32,759 Speaker 10: says toppled the institutions, there's probably sheer numbers can probably 1396 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,720 Speaker 10: make some of that happen, but it's a really difficult thing. 1397 01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 10: So can we funnel or can we who operate operations 1398 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,640 Speaker 10: in Israel or someplace else funnel arms into Iran to 1399 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 10: make this a more fair fight? I don't know. I 1400 01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 10: mean that would obviously be You would think that intelligence 1401 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 10: assets would already be hard at work on that. And 1402 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,200 Speaker 10: I want to say something about this MAGA movement being 1403 01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 10: negative on what Donald Trump it wants to do. Here, 1404 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 10: the Maga movement is Donald Trump. There was no Maga 1405 01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 10: movement until the President came along. All these people who 1406 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 10: aspire to speak for the MAGA movement or for the President, 1407 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 10: it's complete nonsense. What we have seen from Trump is 1408 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 10: he will do whatever it takes and go wherever it 1409 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:25,679 Speaker 10: takes to further America's interests. People don't understand that Iran 1410 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:31,640 Speaker 10: spends billions of dollars every year basically trying to kill Americans. 1411 01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:36,280 Speaker 10: Israelis and the undermine the Gulf Arab nations, which are 1412 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 10: allies to the United States through the Houtis, the heads 1413 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 10: Bola group, which is over a billion dollars a year, 1414 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:47,040 Speaker 10: and Hamas, which obviously perpetrated one of the worst attacks 1415 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 10: from Israelis in the history of the country. They foment revolution, 1416 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:57,040 Speaker 10: they foment uh you know, upheaval in the Middle East, 1417 01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,640 Speaker 10: all kinds of things which are really really terrible for 1418 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,200 Speaker 10: the United States. So this isn't our best interest. That's 1419 01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,560 Speaker 10: why we bomb their nuclear facilities. We don't trust the Malas, 1420 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 10: we shouldn't trust Themlas. The fact that we are this 1421 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:15,160 Speaker 10: close to the Mola's being toppled. You can credit Donald Trump. 1422 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 10: He's squeezed this Iranian country rightly. So and if he 1423 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,960 Speaker 10: wants to pursue it further, I say, go at it. 1424 01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1425 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,360 Speaker 4: And he's done it the right way, right He's done it, 1426 01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 4: not by doing a long term conflict, not by getting 1427 01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,919 Speaker 4: involved with the military industrial complex. 1428 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:30,200 Speaker 3: It was. 1429 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 4: And I get the hesitation with some on the right side, 1430 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 4: or like we don't want to get into another conflict, 1431 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,320 Speaker 4: We don't want to long term twenty year George Bush war. 1432 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,960 Speaker 4: We don't want that stuff. Donald Trump's proven he doesn't 1433 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,320 Speaker 4: want that either, and he's not going to do it, 1434 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 4: which is why we went in, bombed the nuclear site 1435 01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,840 Speaker 4: and got out in a single night and don't even 1436 01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 4: know what happened until the next day, which is really great. 1437 01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,160 Speaker 4: Last question for you, Liz that we're talking about Liz Pee, 1438 01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,680 Speaker 4: columnisty and commentator, and we appreciate you. You mentioned the 1439 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:56,120 Speaker 4: MAGA divide right now. Are you concerned now that we're 1440 01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,280 Speaker 4: going into midterm election season the divide we're seeing in 1441 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:03,320 Speaker 4: the Republican Party on the America first, the isolationism, the 1442 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,719 Speaker 4: involvement in foreign policy, even the anti Semitism comments, which 1443 01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 4: are really kind of strange in today's times. Are you 1444 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,720 Speaker 4: concerned about a divide of the Republican Party as we 1445 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 4: get closer to election season. 1446 01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 10: I think the media has made much more of this 1447 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 10: than it exists. The anti Semitism, for example, I think 1448 01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:25,760 Speaker 10: is truly truly a fringe element on both parties. I 1449 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 10: think it's actually more prevalent in the Democrats. Look, Democrat 1450 01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 10: run media organizations love to suggest that Republicans are at 1451 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 10: war with Republicans. It is limited to very few people. 1452 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:42,040 Speaker 10: Tucker Carlton, Candice Owens. These people, they right now are 1453 01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 10: making a lot of noise. I don't think that they 1454 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 10: speak for me, or for you, or for most people 1455 01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:50,400 Speaker 10: who voted for Donald Trump. If you look at the 1456 01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 10: ratings on Donald Trump and most of what he does, 1457 01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 10: they're still pretty darn good. 1458 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true. 1459 01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 4: There are the rebel outsiders, and I hope that that 1460 01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 4: doesn't deter enough people. But I don't think here is 1461 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,639 Speaker 4: You're right. I mean, they may have a lot of viewers, 1462 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 4: followers making a lot of money off of this, but 1463 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,479 Speaker 4: at the same time, people realize common sense. 1464 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:08,960 Speaker 10: Let me let me say one other thing. I think 1465 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,960 Speaker 10: that divide to the extent that exists is going to 1466 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,679 Speaker 10: become more apparent as we get towards twenty twenty eight. 1467 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,719 Speaker 10: I think you're already seeing the lineup of people behind JD. Pence, 1468 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,760 Speaker 10: and there's people lining up upon Marco Rubio. I think 1469 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 10: those two are going to be very much in contention. 1470 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 10: They don't see eye to eye on everything, and let's 1471 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 10: have a conversation about it. But all this sniping and 1472 01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 10: you know, kind of bizarre. Nick Flentes, I mean, give 1473 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 10: me a break. The guy's a lunatic. So you know, 1474 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,559 Speaker 10: I have not much I really have not much respect 1475 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,759 Speaker 10: for people who take those people seriously. 1476 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:48,360 Speaker 4: I was going to say, I don't know.

Also make sure to check out 1500 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,120 Speaker 4: the Newsbacks TV program with Todd later on this afternoon. 1501 01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 2: Great content. 1502 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,800 Speaker 4: I'm sure he'll have a lot more on all of 1503 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:53,280 Speaker 4: this as it progresses all throughout the day, on all 1504 01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,200 Speaker 4: of these issues. Nine to one two six zero fifty 1505 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 4: nine to twenty six nine one two six zero five 1506 01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:00,760 Speaker 4: nine two six I am. I love seeing when there's 1507 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:04,200 Speaker 4: a competition and there's a headline from what is this 1508 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,400 Speaker 4: at r dot org the Americans for Tax Reform. 1509 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 2: There is a. 1510 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 4: Battle right now in a good way on who can 1511 01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:14,800 Speaker 4: have the least and lower amount of taxes on a 1512 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,479 Speaker 4: state to state level. And if look, if we like 1513 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,679 Speaker 4: competition and if there's going to be competition for growth, 1514 01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 4: then that's a good thing. Now that we go into 1515 01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 4: midterm elections, which again be aware of what candidates are 1516 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 4: trying to do this year going into election season for 1517 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,320 Speaker 4: their grand standing or whatever else they do. That the 1518 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 4: Missouri right now is according to the governor Missouri, as 1519 01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:39,200 Speaker 4: they start off their state legislative session, they are calling 1520 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 4: for a zero percent income tax in the state of Missouri, 1521 01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,280 Speaker 4: and that's pretty awesome. Now coming from Kansas. We have 1522 01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,639 Speaker 4: some relatively high taxes here, income tax and sales tax 1523 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,200 Speaker 4: and property tax, although these property tax at a state 1524 01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:55,240 Speaker 4: level just went away at the beginning of this year, 1525 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 4: so that's good news. But that being said that we 1526 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 4: are still having a lot of taxes across the board 1527 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,640 Speaker 4: other states battling the same thing. What bothers me and 1528 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,519 Speaker 4: I think most conservatives probably agree with this on this issue, 1529 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 4: is when you try to entice businesses to come in 1530 01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 4: and invest in your community and build business and bring 1531 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,519 Speaker 4: in workers and be part of the community. Do you 1532 01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:20,919 Speaker 4: want a particular pitch from the local county state governments 1533 01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,120 Speaker 4: to say, hey, we'll give you these tax incentives and 1534 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:27,559 Speaker 4: perks if you come here, or and it's only specified 1535 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 4: to that business, or do you say, we just are 1536 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 4: going to lower our tax rates across the board to 1537 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,840 Speaker 4: incentivize anybody to come here. And I think that's what 1538 01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 4: you kind of want to do. You get enough to function, 1539 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,760 Speaker 4: and then you lower the taxes enough to incentivize people 1540 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 4: want to come. Because there is a state to state 1541 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 4: tax battle in Missouri. If they get rid of income tax, 1542 01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,479 Speaker 4: that's going to be a big win for the state 1543 01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 4: of Missouri. So I like the competition that we could 1544 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 4: see among states going into the legislative sessions of this 1545 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:57,559 Speaker 4: year across the nation of states trying to lower property taxes, 1546 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 4: lowering sales taxes, lowering income tax whatever, the main focus 1547 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,920 Speaker 4: may be to try to entice individuals to want to 1548 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,200 Speaker 4: flee flock there instead of flee from their states, kind 1549 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,840 Speaker 4: of like what we're singing California right now, or I 1550 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 4: don't know if you've seen Gavin Newsom, mister good suave 1551 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 4: hairman himself out in California. 1552 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:17,840 Speaker 2: The governor, do have California? 1553 01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, he's out there now and he's actually opposing 1554 01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:25,400 Speaker 4: what Democrats in the state legislature are trying to push, 1555 01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 4: which is a wealth tax. And if the wealth tax 1556 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:32,160 Speaker 4: actually goes into effect, there's been an announcement of twenty 1557 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,639 Speaker 4: billionaires in the state of California that have threatened to leave. 1558 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 4: And that's on top of all the other businesses that 1559 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,599 Speaker 4: have already left the state of California, all the people 1560 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,679 Speaker 4: that have already left the exodus that we're singing California already, 1561 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,880 Speaker 4: twenty different billionaires have threatened to leave Gavin Newsom with 1562 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,120 Speaker 4: the eyes on the presidential race of twenty twenty eight, 1563 01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,120 Speaker 4: saying that no, no, this is really bad. We can't 1564 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,160 Speaker 4: tax the wealthy like that. We need to incentivize them 1565 01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,599 Speaker 4: to stay here. Campaign tactic, state of desperation. You choose 1566 01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:19,879 Speaker 4: back after this, Live from. 1567 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 1: The Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

Man, 1582 01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 4: We've missed a lot of this already. But apparently the 1583 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:12,360 Speaker 4: Prime Minister of Greenland and the spokesperson whoever it is, 1584 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 4: from Denmark is making a public statement now. Apparently there 1585 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 4: has not been an agreement to purchase Greenland for the 1586 01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,559 Speaker 4: United States. But let's go live to that right now, 1587 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 4: shall we? 1588 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:28,800 Speaker 18: US has historically been a bit reluctant. Hopefully that would 1589 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 18: change now there's a dialogue within the Nature Framework and 1590 01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:37,559 Speaker 18: we want to step up and hopefully that could also 1591 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 18: accommodate some of the President's concern But it's not that 1592 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,679 Speaker 18: I'm now, you know, saying everything is solved. 1593 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,920 Speaker 8: It's not self. We didn't manage. 1594 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:50,799 Speaker 18: But I honestly speaking, I didn't believe that that was doable. 1595 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 18: We didn't manage to change the American position. It's clear 1596 01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:02,679 Speaker 18: that the President has this wish of conquering over Greenland. 1597 01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 18: We made it very very clear that this is not 1598 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 18: in the interest of the Kingdom. There's a government in 1599 01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,320 Speaker 18: Greenland with support from three quarters of the Greenlandic population. 1600 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,520 Speaker 18: The Premiere made it very very clear yesterday that Greenland 1601 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,599 Speaker 18: for the time being and for for super future will 1602 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 18: remain within the Kingdom of Denmark. 1603 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 8: And therefore this is. 1604 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,720 Speaker 18: A common position that we want to work with our 1605 01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 18: American friends and allies, but it must be a respectful 1606 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:34,479 Speaker 18: corporation and it must. 1607 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 8: Respect the red lines. 1608 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:37,360 Speaker 3: Should we take a. 1609 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 18: Very final question and then come on, there's a fight 1610 01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:46,920 Speaker 18: going on now about Yeah, okay, yes, we can do 1611 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:52,560 Speaker 18: that afterwards, a constructive meeting. 1612 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 15: You said, Greenlandic attitude is a good meeting. 1613 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,439 Speaker 19: How do you feel about out the thread being of 1614 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:02,040 Speaker 19: the table? 1615 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,599 Speaker 20: So we still have the American administration. 1616 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,799 Speaker 19: That wants to have fuel and being. 1617 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 9: Part of the United States, And you say last the 1618 01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:14,880 Speaker 9: last reason that, well, we hope that we can find. 1619 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,880 Speaker 11: A way, but how do you actually feel it can't 1620 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:19,160 Speaker 11: be very sort of security. 1621 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:26,680 Speaker 19: I think that it's never been so important to initiate 1622 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,680 Speaker 19: that we are allies. We are friends, we have been 1623 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:35,960 Speaker 19: incorporated in many many years. We have history together, so 1624 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:40,000 Speaker 19: it's all ours interest to find the right balances. So 1625 01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,080 Speaker 19: I don't think I can say it longer than that. 1626 01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 19: Of course, we have a work to do in the 1627 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,800 Speaker 19: future and uh, and for us, the most important is 1628 01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:59,679 Speaker 19: that that that you find the normalized relationsship we used 1629 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,960 Speaker 19: to have, and it's very important and I think that 1630 01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:07,479 Speaker 19: we have initiated so many times where we stand and 1631 01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:12,880 Speaker 19: our turbolitic and location and everything that is very important, 1632 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:13,519 Speaker 19: and we. 1633 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,040 Speaker 4: Do it all right, all right, let's go ahead and 1634 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,920 Speaker 4: pot that down so well, I guess we swinging a miss. 1635 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 4: I guess right now, at least the Vice President Jade 1636 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 4: Vance and Secretary of State Mark or Rubio coming out 1637 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,879 Speaker 4: of the meeting with Denmark and with Greenland, and apparently 1638 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 4: no deal has been struck. Dylan, could you imagine, I mean, 1639 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,400 Speaker 4: Donald Trump wants this thing. Man, They've even put a 1640 01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,680 Speaker 4: price take out on a seven hundred what is a 1641 01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 4: seven hundred billion dollars or whatever he's trying to offer 1642 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,919 Speaker 4: for this thing. He really, really really wants Greenland. Obviously 1643 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,840 Speaker 4: right now they have no interest in selling it over 1644 01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:45,719 Speaker 4: to us. The legacy of Donald Trump. We haven't invaded Iran, 1645 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:50,599 Speaker 4: we haven't invaded Venezuela, we haven't invaded Russia, we haven't 1646 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,920 Speaker 4: invaded China. Could you imagine the legacy of Donald Trump 1647 01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 4: invading Greenland? Does the military invasion of Greenland? 1648 01:22:58,920 --> 01:22:59,240 Speaker 8: Wow? 1649 01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:00,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1650 01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:03,839 Speaker 15: If this is the first one, I don't know if. 1651 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 2: That's the first one. Like, we're not going to take 1652 01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:06,799 Speaker 2: over any other nation. 1653 01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:08,640 Speaker 4: But we really want Greenland and we'll do it to 1654 01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,320 Speaker 4: the point of actually taking over that nation, which is 1655 01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,920 Speaker 4: why according to the Danish broadcaster, they say that they 1656 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:19,200 Speaker 4: have sent the Danish military forces to Greenland for would 1657 01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:21,840 Speaker 4: they say challenges in the Arctic right now, which I 1658 01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,479 Speaker 4: don't know what those challenges necessarily are. But you said 1659 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:26,559 Speaker 4: before we came on, when it was top of the hour, 1660 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,599 Speaker 4: before we came in, they were talking about the dog 1661 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,120 Speaker 4: flit the sleds because Donald Trump said the only security 1662 01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,720 Speaker 4: they have are two dog sleds and that's it for 1663 01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:34,559 Speaker 4: the nation. 1664 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 15: Yeah, he was like, I know, you know, Trump mentioned 1665 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,600 Speaker 15: the dog sleds, and you know it's true. We do 1666 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 15: have dog sleds and we have to get around that 1667 01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 15: way in the snow, so it's hard. 1668 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 2: That's that's great. I love it. 1669 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,840 Speaker 4: Well done. The trolling of Donald Trump continues. I don't know, man, 1670 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:51,960 Speaker 4: We'll we'll see whether it happens or not. It sounds 1671 01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 4: like they are adamantly no, like, yeah, we'll strength of 1672 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,200 Speaker 4: relationships with the US, but we're not going to be 1673 01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,879 Speaker 4: controlled or owned by the United States in some fashion. 1674 01:23:59,520 --> 01:23:59,920 Speaker 2: We'll see. 1675 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,760 Speaker 4: When Donald Trump has laser focused on something man, he's 1676 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 4: all about it, and we'll see it where that progresses. 1677 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 4: But another bummer for the Trump administration right now. And again, 1678 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:11,479 Speaker 4: if I have any optimism of anybody that can do 1679 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 4: it, it would be Donald Trump, It would be JD. Vance, 1680 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 4: it would be Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. That 1681 01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,840 Speaker 4: is a a team right there, man, and hopefully we 1682 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,680 Speaker 4: can see something happen forward. All right, I want to 1683 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:22,599 Speaker 4: shift gears nine oh one two six, zero fifty nine 1684 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,400 Speaker 4: twenty six. Welcome into it, Todd Starnes Radio program, Andy, 1685 01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:30,280 Speaker 4: who's're sitting in today for a Wednesday today yesterday? Back 1686 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:33,759 Speaker 4: on the home front here domestically, the US Supreme Court 1687 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 4: has been discussing probably one of the dumbest conversations I've 1688 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,479 Speaker 4: ever heard in my entire life. And I did not 1689 01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 4: realize that it took super duper expert legal scholars in 1690 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:50,479 Speaker 4: the nation to decide what the gender of female female 1691 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,800 Speaker 4: versus male may or may not be. I did not 1692 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 4: realize it took a super duper high education of really 1693 01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 4: smart people in the nation to make a decision on 1694 01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:05,120 Speaker 4: what gender is in the United States. I did not 1695 01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:09,040 Speaker 4: realize that it took that much brain power to figure 1696 01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 4: that out. 1697 01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:10,760 Speaker 2: I thought we had this. 1698 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,439 Speaker 4: Kind of figured out, I don't know, six thousand years 1699 01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,680 Speaker 4: ago or something, but apparently not. And now it's at 1700 01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,720 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. And even the fact that the US 1701 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,800 Speaker 4: Supreme Court is hearing a case like this really, to 1702 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,679 Speaker 4: me at least shows where culture is. The hearing yesterday 1703 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,720 Speaker 4: we're kind of interesting. I did hear a little bit 1704 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,600 Speaker 4: of tidbits here and there of the attorney that's advocating 1705 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 4: for the actual common sensical standpoint of what a male 1706 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,759 Speaker 4: and female was was answering a question from Clarence Thomas 1707 01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,559 Speaker 4: yesterday on exactly what this stance looks like. 1708 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 21: States have long assigned students to sports teams by sex. 1709 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 21: West Virginia is no different. Maintaining separate boys and girls' 1710 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:51,240 Speaker 21: sports teams ensures that girls can safely and fairly compete 1711 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:55,439 Speaker 21: in school sports. The question today is whether this enduring 1712 01:25:55,479 --> 01:26:01,679 Speaker 21: structure can continue. It can Title nine, it's sex separated teams. 1713 01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:03,840 Speaker 21: It does so because by the hold on. 1714 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,200 Speaker 4: Before we go any further, I want to remind you, 1715 01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:06,720 Speaker 4: for those that may not know what Title nine is. 1716 01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 4: Title nine was created for women. Right we had a 1717 01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:13,280 Speaker 4: world when women were you know, the civil rights movement, 1718 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 4: and women were trying to be in the workplace, and 1719 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 4: women were trying to not be abused and taken advantage 1720 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:21,719 Speaker 4: of by men in athletics or in certain college areas, 1721 01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:24,439 Speaker 4: or affirmative action or whatever. That we created Title nine 1722 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 4: for protections of women, particularly in athletics for high school 1723 01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:30,720 Speaker 4: and college to make sure that men don't come in 1724 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:34,600 Speaker 4: and dominate it. And the progressives the left side of 1725 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,639 Speaker 4: the aisle were the ones that hyped this up back 1726 01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,760 Speaker 4: in the day where feminist where wicked, wild thinkers were 1727 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,720 Speaker 4: creating equality for everyone and it was all great. Now 1728 01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,720 Speaker 4: we have a Democrat party that is saying that we're 1729 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,960 Speaker 4: going to change what Title nine is. And Joe Biden 1730 01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:52,480 Speaker 4: tried to do this under his administration to include transgender 1731 01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 4: individuals AKA allowing men to pretend to be women, to 1732 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,960 Speaker 4: come into athletics and dominate all their records, beat up 1733 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,640 Speaker 4: all the women, take over the entire industry. 1734 01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:03,479 Speaker 2: And be like, we're here for women. They're the ones 1735 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:04,120 Speaker 2: with the pink. 1736 01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,400 Speaker 4: Hat wearers, right, and for some reason they're all for 1737 01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,240 Speaker 4: this whole Title nine issue. And that's what this case 1738 01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,080 Speaker 4: is about right now, is about how we define Title 1739 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,880 Speaker 4: nine based on how we show a definition of sex 1740 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:21,400 Speaker 4: and gender in the country of male female xx chromosomes 1741 01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:25,120 Speaker 4: x y chromosomes, and that apparently is a very difficult challenge. 1742 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:27,720 Speaker 4: Again to allow the super duper elite to this nation 1743 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:29,759 Speaker 4: to have to duke it out in court to figure 1744 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:31,720 Speaker 4: this out. That to me seems like a kind of 1745 01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,600 Speaker 4: a waste of taxpayer money, a little bit of a 1746 01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:34,439 Speaker 4: stupid conversation. 1747 01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:36,200 Speaker 2: But here we are in twenty twenty six. 1748 01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:39,920 Speaker 21: Right, it does so because biological sex matters in athletics 1749 01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 21: in ways both obvious and undeniable. The text, history, context, 1750 01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:50,800 Speaker 21: and structure of the statute, alongside regulations expressly authorizing what 1751 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,240 Speaker 21: West Virginia has done, confirm as much. 1752 01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,120 Speaker 4: All Right, it's kind of a weird conversation for sure. 1753 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 4: And now we have to have this all the way. 1754 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,320 Speaker 4: I mean, if we have a decision at the federal level, 1755 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,799 Speaker 4: I guess that lays down the law. It really stamps 1756 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,599 Speaker 4: that approval of what a man what a woman actually is. 1757 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 4: It's weird we have to have that. But welcome again 1758 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,880 Speaker 4: to society in today's terms. That's where we go to 1759 01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,759 Speaker 4: our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Hotline, where Todd on his latest 1760 01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:19,160 Speaker 4: Newsmax TV program sat down with Bruce Pearl with the 1761 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 4: Auburn men's basketball team to discuss some of these issues, 1762 01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 4: and this is what they had to say. 1763 01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,479 Speaker 7: Well, joining me now is the great Bruce Pearl, a 1764 01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:30,520 Speaker 7: senior now senior Fellow at the America First Policy Institute. 1765 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,240 Speaker 7: I've got to call you a coach. I hope you 1766 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:36,680 Speaker 7: don't mind, Bruce, but I'm just curious. You've had a 1767 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,120 Speaker 7: front row view to how all of this is actually 1768 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:42,960 Speaker 7: impacting young student athletes. And I'm just curious how has 1769 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,040 Speaker 7: the transgender movement impacted women's sports. 1770 01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:50,000 Speaker 14: Well, Todd, it's great to be with you. Why are 1771 01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 14: we here, I mean, how are we even having this 1772 01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:57,519 Speaker 14: discussion about whether or not boys should be playing against girls? 1773 01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:02,040 Speaker 14: It just doesn't make any sense. I had the great privilege, Todd, 1774 01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 14: of coaching alongside the legendary Pat Summit. Pat's not here 1775 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,160 Speaker 14: to talk, so I'm going to sort of talk for her. 1776 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,439 Speaker 14: I watched those girls train, I watched them in the 1777 01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,280 Speaker 14: weight room, I watched them in a court. I to 1778 01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,439 Speaker 14: become a lady ball and live up to the standards 1779 01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:19,000 Speaker 14: of being a woman and playing at the highest level 1780 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:23,559 Speaker 14: of intercollegiate basketball. They've earned that right, but it would 1781 01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:28,479 Speaker 14: be completely unfair and unsafe to ask those women to 1782 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 14: play against biological men. And I can't believe that in 1783 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:37,760 Speaker 14: this country's desire to be fair to everyone, we're not 1784 01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,920 Speaker 14: able to make that distinction. It's not safe, it's not right. 1785 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,479 Speaker 14: Last thing I would say about this, Todd is, look 1786 01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:48,439 Speaker 14: what we've done with Title nine. It's been amazing. How 1787 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,679 Speaker 14: giving women the same rights as men to come to college, 1788 01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,800 Speaker 14: to play sports, to be able to compete on an 1789 01:29:55,880 --> 01:30:00,120 Speaker 14: equal playing field, which is what it's all about in 1790 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,439 Speaker 14: the colleges that may not have thought about going to 1791 01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:06,719 Speaker 14: your universities before. It's changed what our campuses has looked 1792 01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:10,639 Speaker 14: like scholarships and so why mess with a really good thing? 1793 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:11,160 Speaker 14: You know? 1794 01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:15,120 Speaker 7: Coach Becky Pepper Jackson is a fifteen year old biological male, 1795 01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:18,000 Speaker 7: declared himself a girl in the third grade, and now 1796 01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:20,479 Speaker 7: he is the one at the center of today's Supreme 1797 01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 7: Court hearing. Let's take a listen. 1798 01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:26,360 Speaker 20: Sport is something that everybody should have the opportunity to 1799 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:32,160 Speaker 20: do if they want, and it should we should all, like, 1800 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:34,840 Speaker 20: we should all be able to have that chance even 1801 01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:36,960 Speaker 20: if like people don't want it, like it should still 1802 01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 20: be there. 1803 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:37,800 Speaker 19: For them. 1804 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,720 Speaker 20: I just I wish these people would educate themselves, just 1805 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:44,920 Speaker 20: so they would know that I'm just there to have 1806 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:45,559 Speaker 20: a good time. 1807 01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:47,439 Speaker 12: That's it, all right. 1808 01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:50,080 Speaker 7: So this guy coach, he placed third in the girl's 1809 01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:54,320 Speaker 7: discus throw in West Virginia last year. I'm just wondering, 1810 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:58,639 Speaker 7: does his biology infringe on the opportunities that young girls 1811 01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:00,080 Speaker 7: might have in sports? 1812 01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 14: Of course it does. And Todd, we were raised right, 1813 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,400 Speaker 14: We're supposed to protect our girls. We're supposed to protect 1814 01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:08,880 Speaker 14: our women. You're supposed to protect your daughter, and I'm 1815 01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:12,680 Speaker 14: supposed to protect my granddaughters. And I want these individuals 1816 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:14,040 Speaker 14: that want to be able to play in sports to 1817 01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,360 Speaker 14: play in sports. But girls should play with girls and 1818 01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,479 Speaker 14: boys should play with boys. I mean, back of the day, 1819 01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:23,240 Speaker 14: there was a mensroom in a women's room. It wasn't 1820 01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,120 Speaker 14: very confusing. And if I was in high school and 1821 01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:29,080 Speaker 14: I saw a gal in the men's room or a 1822 01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,559 Speaker 14: guy in the women's room, that would be okay. They'd 1823 01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:34,160 Speaker 14: be going down to the office. I don't understand why 1824 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:35,040 Speaker 14: this is an issue. 1825 01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:38,080 Speaker 7: Coach, what of athletes? What are those young athletes told 1826 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:41,280 Speaker 7: you back when you were coaching? What were they telling 1827 01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,560 Speaker 7: you about these transgender athletes. 1828 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:46,760 Speaker 14: You know, Todd, what they were talking about is the 1829 01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:50,200 Speaker 14: sacrifices that they're making as athletes, how hard they've had 1830 01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 14: to work and how hard they've had to train, and 1831 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 14: how meaningful it was to be able to be on 1832 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:59,080 Speaker 14: a team and experience what it's all about in the 1833 01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,240 Speaker 14: leadership and the scrifice. 1834 01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:02,599 Speaker 2: To be part of a team. 1835 01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:05,599 Speaker 14: And now, because there are some boys that are wanting 1836 01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:07,840 Speaker 14: to play on those teams and some schools feeling like 1837 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 14: they have to give them the opportunity to play, it's 1838 01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:15,200 Speaker 14: taking away opportunities for girls. And that's just not wrong. 1839 01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:16,040 Speaker 8: That's wrong. 1840 01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:19,920 Speaker 14: It is not fair. And what I'm concerned about, as 1841 01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 14: much as I am about them winning their awards and 1842 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:24,560 Speaker 14: getting their medals and all that stuff, it's just a 1843 01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:27,360 Speaker 14: safety and security. I mean, I was with a young 1844 01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:30,639 Speaker 14: lady last night that was playing volleyball and she got 1845 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,160 Speaker 14: smashed in the face by a ball that was slammed 1846 01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:36,400 Speaker 14: down on a spike from a man, and she had 1847 01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:39,519 Speaker 14: some real problems where their eyesight and a lot of 1848 01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:43,479 Speaker 14: different things. So we've got to protect the women their 1849 01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:45,479 Speaker 14: rights to be able to compete and a fair and 1850 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:48,840 Speaker 14: a safe place. And so I hope it's nine zero, 1851 01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:51,479 Speaker 14: and you know what, if it's not nine zero the 1852 01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,760 Speaker 14: Supreme Court, something's wrong. 1853 01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:56,160 Speaker 7: Well, we know at least one of them doesn't know 1854 01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:59,240 Speaker 7: what a woman is. So we've got that going for us, 1855 01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 7: a coach before we let you go. I think ultimately 1856 01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,400 Speaker 7: all of this again, it's not a political issue. I 1857 01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:07,720 Speaker 7: actually think this is a spiritual issue. I think it's 1858 01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 7: an attack on the very idea of God, a God 1859 01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:15,000 Speaker 7: who created male and female. That's what I think this 1860 01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:16,920 Speaker 7: is really all about. I know you're a man of faith. 1861 01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:21,200 Speaker 14: What say you, Well, I agree with you completely, and 1862 01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:25,559 Speaker 14: there's got to be a very clear, you know, separation. 1863 01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,560 Speaker 14: I can tell you that sometimes when I go to 1864 01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,840 Speaker 14: synagogue at an Orthodox church, the men are sitting with 1865 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:33,160 Speaker 14: the men are sitting and the women are sitting with 1866 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,160 Speaker 14: the women are city. There's a very very clear distinction. 1867 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:40,479 Speaker 14: God makes a very clear distinction. Therefore, I'm going to 1868 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,880 Speaker 14: make that distinction. And there's plenty of room for all 1869 01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:46,400 Speaker 14: of us. We just got to keep everybody safe and 1870 01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 14: keep it fair. 1871 01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:50,720 Speaker 7: Well said, all right, Bruce Pearl, great to see you. 1872 01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:53,400 Speaker 7: Thank you for joining us here on Newsmax this evening. 1873 01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:55,960 Speaker 4: All right, So that again, that was that time, sit 1874 01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:58,120 Speaker 4: down with Bruce Pearl with the Auburn men's basketball team. 1875 01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:01,720 Speaker 4: Great conversation, and Ton's absolutely right. That's the only conclusion 1876 01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:03,840 Speaker 4: that I think we can come to a conversation like 1877 01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,639 Speaker 4: this is it's got to be a spiritual war, because 1878 01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 4: I understand there's a lack of common sense in the 1879 01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,200 Speaker 4: world today, but that's taking the lack of common sense 1880 01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,599 Speaker 4: to an entirely different level. That is the only other 1881 01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:20,120 Speaker 4: logical explanation on why we're having such ridiculous, stupid, absurd 1882 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,880 Speaker 4: conversations in society today. Your thoughts on this When we 1883 01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:24,400 Speaker 4: come back at nine oh one two six zero fifty 1884 01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:27,000 Speaker 4: nine twenty six, it is the Todd Starnes Radio. 1885 01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:37,599 Speaker 8: Program's back to it. 1886 01:34:37,479 --> 01:34:39,599 Speaker 4: It is the Todd Starnes Radio Program nine one two 1887 01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:41,479 Speaker 4: six zero fifty nine twenty six. If you want to 1888 01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 4: jump on the program. The title nine battle with the 1889 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 4: Supreme Court still a wild one to me. And when 1890 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:51,000 Speaker 4: we make the decision, here's while the Democrats try to say, 1891 01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,920 Speaker 4: like we had heard from Whoope Goldberger earlier. 1892 01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:54,879 Speaker 2: She goes, where's the government? 1893 01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:57,839 Speaker 4: Why are we actually seeing any type of government oversight 1894 01:34:58,000 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 4: or something? 1895 01:34:58,640 --> 01:34:58,800 Speaker 19: Right? 1896 01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:02,240 Speaker 11: Where is the government? We are do you realize we 1897 01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:07,840 Speaker 11: don't have a government, we don't have the power, and 1898 01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:13,800 Speaker 11: this is a huge and should be our biggest right now. 1899 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 8: It is that. 1900 01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:18,919 Speaker 22: Be yeah, because all of this is happening. 1901 01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:23,240 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, there is no one doing checks and ballast. 1902 01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:26,320 Speaker 12: Where is the government? Why aren't they. 1903 01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:26,800 Speaker 3: Doing their jobs? 1904 01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:29,639 Speaker 4: Where is the checks and ballist? So here's the question. 1905 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:33,120 Speaker 4: Then if the Supreme Court comes out and makes a ruling, 1906 01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 4: because they are the they're supposed to interpret the law 1907 01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:37,960 Speaker 4: of the land. In my opinion, I think we've given 1908 01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:39,880 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court just a little bit too much power 1909 01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:42,920 Speaker 4: over the years by always turning over to the courts 1910 01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 4: to make a decision, to always use them as a 1911 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:48,040 Speaker 4: political arm, primarily from the left side of the aisle, 1912 01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:50,559 Speaker 4: to try and use it for a political agenda or 1913 01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:54,240 Speaker 4: to stop a certain political agenda from the opposition. We've 1914 01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 4: given them way too much power. But we still have 1915 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,040 Speaker 4: for the most part, the idea of a check and 1916 01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:01,080 Speaker 4: balance system. If the Supreme Court comes out in rules 1917 01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:05,439 Speaker 4: that there is a biological difference between boys and girls, 1918 01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:08,320 Speaker 4: which golly, if they can't make that decision, then we 1919 01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:11,519 Speaker 4: have a serious problem. If they make that decision, and 1920 01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:14,559 Speaker 4: they make that ruling under the checks and balance system. 1921 01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:17,680 Speaker 4: Will the Democrats abide by it? Will they support it? 1922 01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:20,360 Speaker 4: Will they agree with it? They'll shut out the issue 1923 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:22,760 Speaker 4: and we can move on. Comes to women's sports and 1924 01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:27,360 Speaker 4: Title nine protections, No, that would be my prediction. No, 1925 01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,559 Speaker 4: Why because they'll just say that it's corrupt and now 1926 01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:32,200 Speaker 4: we have to stack the courts the next time that 1927 01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:35,240 Speaker 4: we get the majority reinforcing the idea. These elections and 1928 01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,920 Speaker 4: the midterms really have consequences. We got lots more coming 1929 01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:55,240 Speaker 4: up for the Tod Sterns Radio program.

But uh, the protests, 1982 01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:16,640 Speaker 4: the violence, we've seen, the shooting on that happened just 1983 01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 4: a week or so ago up in Minneapolis, with the 1984 01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,000 Speaker 4: protests against ice. We have this ice watch all over 1985 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,639 Speaker 4: the nation. People are just angry. What's the mindset right now, 1986 01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:27,679 Speaker 4: because I would think standing in front of a vehicle 1987 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:30,839 Speaker 4: or blocking traffic for law enforcement probably not the smartest 1988 01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:31,320 Speaker 4: thing to do. 1989 01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:36,559 Speaker 22: Their rage is making them go out of their minds, 1990 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:40,320 Speaker 22: their age, Their rage is driving them crazy, I mean literally. 1991 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:45,240 Speaker 22: And the thing is that it is a rage that 1992 01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:50,559 Speaker 22: can easily and has easily shifted to the problem of 1993 01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,040 Speaker 22: the week or the you know, the fall guy of 1994 01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:55,200 Speaker 22: the week. In other words, you know, it could be 1995 01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,919 Speaker 22: just as easily ice as it was to the police, 1996 01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:00,439 Speaker 22: as it was to Trump, as it was to I mean, 1997 01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:02,719 Speaker 22: just pick, take a pick. 1998 01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:04,240 Speaker 10: It's like it's like whack a mole. 1999 01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:08,639 Speaker 22: They're just trying to get rid of anybody or any 2000 01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:14,519 Speaker 22: group of people who of course anti Semitism can't forget that, 2001 01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:19,120 Speaker 22: get rid of the Jews. But it is so like 2002 01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:23,960 Speaker 22: it's so just ingenuous because it is so so you know, psychotic, 2003 01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:29,360 Speaker 22: so hysterical, because because they can so easily move from 2004 01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:32,600 Speaker 22: one person or group to another. You know, it's just 2005 01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:36,519 Speaker 22: they're looking for outlets to express their rage as the 2006 01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:40,880 Speaker 22: world at their life. Really, what it is is they're 2007 01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:45,759 Speaker 22: they're not happy. They're very unhappy people, and they want 2008 01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:49,120 Speaker 22: to you know, the world hasn't given them their life, 2009 01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:52,559 Speaker 22: hasn't given them what they want, and so what they 2010 01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:55,200 Speaker 22: do is take it out on people who they think. 2011 01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:57,280 Speaker 22: You know, they blame this one this week and that 2012 01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:00,760 Speaker 22: one this week, that week, and and you know, just 2013 01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:04,439 Speaker 22: to let everybody know how angry they are. And it's 2014 01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:08,920 Speaker 22: really and of course, you know, I cannot forget to 2015 01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:13,040 Speaker 22: mention Trump arrangement syndrome because I've been working for almost 2016 01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:17,200 Speaker 22: a year now on refining the diagnosis of Trump arrangement syndrome, 2017 01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:20,360 Speaker 22: because I'm just about ready to propose it to the 2018 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:25,759 Speaker 22: American Psychiatric Association for inclusion in their Diagnostic and Statistical manual. 2019 01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 22: So some of this is also Trump's arrangement syndrome because 2020 01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:35,960 Speaker 22: like for example, Ice, you know, you know, they see 2021 01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:40,160 Speaker 22: Ice as an extension of Trump or the police as 2022 01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:42,040 Speaker 22: an except because Trump is trying to bring law and 2023 01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:45,719 Speaker 22: order and get rid of illegal migrants, so they see 2024 01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:47,080 Speaker 22: him in all of this too. 2025 01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:50,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot to cover there for sure. That 2026 01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:52,720 Speaker 4: is hilarious, by the way, and well done on trying 2027 01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:55,799 Speaker 4: to prevent Trump arrangement syndrome as an actual mental issue, 2028 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,720 Speaker 4: because it really seems to be prevalent these individuals, like 2029 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,280 Speaker 4: you said, the victimhood status, which is just reinforcing this mindset. 2030 01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:04,439 Speaker 4: I've never been able to make it much in life, 2031 01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:06,559 Speaker 4: so therefore I'm just going to be angry about everything 2032 01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,519 Speaker 4: that can't be healthy for you. Is it, Carol, to 2033 01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:11,400 Speaker 4: say that I'm just gonna wake up in the in 2034 01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,479 Speaker 4: the morning and say I'm so angry at the world. 2035 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:15,840 Speaker 4: I need to find something to go and fight because 2036 01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:17,280 Speaker 4: I'm just not happy with my life. 2037 01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:21,760 Speaker 22: Yes, that's what it is, and of course it logically 2038 01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,840 Speaker 22: it doesn't make sense. I mean, it's you know, and 2039 01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:28,880 Speaker 22: these are people who they didn't just wake up and 2040 01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:31,559 Speaker 22: and have this. I well, first of all, some of 2041 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:35,720 Speaker 22: it is is has been has been sown into them 2042 01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 22: by the education. You know, people who are younger, the 2043 01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:42,320 Speaker 22: younger generations have been taught to do this literally taught 2044 01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:46,519 Speaker 22: to do this to hate America. So but it's these 2045 01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:50,479 Speaker 22: are people who you know, didn't like, uh, didn't do 2046 01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:53,920 Speaker 22: well with authority from the time that they were kids 2047 01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,120 Speaker 22: and with their parents. I mean, so much of this 2048 01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:57,880 Speaker 22: is like teenage rebellion. 2049 01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:00,000 Speaker 4: Is this I was gonna say, is this the general 2050 01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:03,920 Speaker 4: that never got told no? Maybe the participation trophy, the now, look, 2051 01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:07,080 Speaker 4: I'm a millennial, so you know, my generations known for this. 2052 01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,719 Speaker 4: But the generation that was never told no, their parents 2053 01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:12,040 Speaker 4: were more as friends than they were actual parents, that 2054 01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:14,519 Speaker 4: they got everything they wanted. And now that they're in 2055 01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:17,040 Speaker 4: the real world and they I said it before, that's 2056 01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:20,799 Speaker 4: when Donald Trump won the first time for that generation. 2057 01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:23,960 Speaker 4: It was essentially the first election that they had lost 2058 01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,320 Speaker 4: because they had had Barack Obama growing up and getting 2059 01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,000 Speaker 4: whatever they wanted at that time from their side of 2060 01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:30,519 Speaker 4: the aisle. That they're not used to being told no, 2061 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:31,880 Speaker 4: and they don't know how to handle it. 2062 01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:35,000 Speaker 22: Yes, yes, that is a big part of it too, 2063 01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:39,320 Speaker 22: of course, you know, it's it's sort of both sides. 2064 01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:41,639 Speaker 22: Like on the one hand, if then they haven't been 2065 01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:46,160 Speaker 22: they're not used to being they want their their participations medals, yes, 2066 01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:52,040 Speaker 22: but also they're angry a lot of them, you know, 2067 01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,719 Speaker 22: I guess depends on which generation and depends on which 2068 01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 22: what kind of parents you had, but a lot of 2069 01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 22: them started by being angry at their parents. I mean, 2070 01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,280 Speaker 22: you know that's part of it too, That is that 2071 01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:08,000 Speaker 22: is happening now. There is such rebellion going on by 2072 01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:13,360 Speaker 22: people by the younger generations because you know, like, for example, 2073 01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:17,240 Speaker 22: people who have been taught to hate America and who 2074 01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 22: are therefore leftists hate their parents if they are rightist, 2075 01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:26,639 Speaker 22: you know, it's they're conservatives. Yeah, and that's a big 2076 01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:29,040 Speaker 22: thing that's happening now to the same thing with like, 2077 01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:33,720 Speaker 22: for example, the the parents or mother at least of 2078 01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:39,400 Speaker 22: the woman you know, miss good who does bad in Minneapolist. 2079 01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,960 Speaker 22: You know, she was apparently her parents or her mother 2080 01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:47,640 Speaker 22: was conservative, is conservative, and so there's some there is 2081 01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:49,920 Speaker 22: some literal rebellion against the parents. 2082 01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:52,880 Speaker 4: Interesting, it's wild.

It's really strange. 2121 01:47:04,880 --> 01:47:06,560 Speaker 4: And for the ones that say that they're there for 2122 01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:09,640 Speaker 4: the people of Palestine, they've been persecuted, they've been you know, 2123 01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:13,280 Speaker 4: the genocide happening from the Israelis and the Zionists into 2124 01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:15,720 Speaker 4: the people of you know, the Gaza strip in Palestine. 2125 01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:18,080 Speaker 4: It's very strange. And then we look at this Iranian issue, 2126 01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:20,639 Speaker 4: and I would think that for the feminists, the pink 2127 01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:23,880 Speaker 4: cat wearing radical left wing democrats that want all these 2128 01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:27,719 Speaker 4: rights for women, would support a revolution in Iran, especially 2129 01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:30,720 Speaker 4: where women are seen as less than, you know, subhuman, 2130 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:32,920 Speaker 4: they have to cover their entire bodies and cover their 2131 01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:34,920 Speaker 4: face and everything, and that they would be supporting this 2132 01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:37,840 Speaker 4: type of revolution. So, like you said, it's either TDS 2133 01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 4: because Donald Trump wants the revolution so therefore they're okay 2134 01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 4: with with this terrorist regime, or they just don't care 2135 01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:48,360 Speaker 4: because like you said, it's not about the emotional connection 2136 01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:51,240 Speaker 4: of actually fighting for what they say. They're just doing 2137 01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:53,759 Speaker 4: it because either they're being paid for it or because 2138 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:56,720 Speaker 4: it's a job. And here's the crazy part, Carol, is 2139 01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:01,960 Speaker 4: that we're hearing apparently the talking points against supporting the 2140 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:05,680 Speaker 4: revolution is because the revolutions being supported and funded and 2141 01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:09,600 Speaker 4: organized by the Zionists. And apparently the Jews are the 2142 01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:12,719 Speaker 4: ones that are trying to topple the Iranian regime. Carol, 2143 01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:14,880 Speaker 4: this is a crazy world right now. 2144 01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:20,400 Speaker 22: Yes, yes, all of these crazy you know ideas that 2145 01:48:20,479 --> 01:48:24,040 Speaker 22: are just whipping around. And you know, you would think 2146 01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,600 Speaker 22: because in general, the leftists for the victims, right, like 2147 01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:31,800 Speaker 22: the supposed Talestinian victims. Yeah, so you would think they 2148 01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:35,760 Speaker 22: would be for the citizens of Iran who are the victim, right. 2149 01:48:35,800 --> 01:48:40,639 Speaker 22: But now, because that doesn't compute in fact, in fact 2150 01:48:41,120 --> 01:48:44,000 Speaker 22: in New York. Do you know, I just did a 2151 01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:47,960 Speaker 22: podcast on this, my Terrorist Therapists podcast, which it actually 2152 01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:51,080 Speaker 22: is on.

But also do you know, 2164 01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:25,080 Speaker 22: and I didn't know this until I was doing research 2165 01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:29,040 Speaker 22: for this particular episode, all right, I forgot about it. 2166 01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:32,720 Speaker 22: I don't know, but this is this year will be 2167 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:41,320 Speaker 22: the fourth anniversary of the n y p DS.

Wow, like commemorating the n y p D. 2169 01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:51,000 Speaker 22: Now you might ask, why does the NYPD, you know, 2170 01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:57,160 Speaker 22: uh support the terrorists basically running around and I mean, here, yes, 2171 01:49:57,200 --> 01:50:01,439 Speaker 22: we're all you know with hear these women in Iran, 2172 01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:05,320 Speaker 22: particularly right now are taking off their hugeobs, you know, 2173 01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:11,000 Speaker 22: to make show there their refusal to be subjugated anymore. 2174 01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:15,680 Speaker 4: And in New York, yeah, we're celebrating it. 2175 01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:17,160 Speaker 2: I mean, what a wild time. 2176 01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:19,320 Speaker 4: It's a crazy it's a crazy time to be alive 2177 01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:22,360 Speaker 4: for sure, which I just it's hard to fathom that 2178 01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:23,840 Speaker 4: that's where we're at in society. Carol, we got a 2179 01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:25,519 Speaker 4: couple minutes left here, but I want to shift gears 2180 01:50:25,720 --> 01:50:28,240 Speaker 4: and talk about the violence in the United States. Obviously, 2181 01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:30,559 Speaker 4: the assassination of Charlie Kirk a few months ago, the 2182 01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:33,679 Speaker 4: attempt assassination of President Trump a couple of years ago. 2183 01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:36,600 Speaker 4: Are we singing from what you're seeing from a psychological 2184 01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:40,040 Speaker 4: standpoint in society because of the rage that we're seeing 2185 01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:43,080 Speaker 4: from one side of the aisle. Are we starting to 2186 01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:47,280 Speaker 4: see the normalizing of political violence in our culture? And 2187 01:50:47,439 --> 01:50:49,439 Speaker 4: is that something that we just have to accept as 2188 01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:51,479 Speaker 4: a reality or can we do something about it? 2189 01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:57,600 Speaker 22: Yes, Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more the normalization 2190 01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:01,080 Speaker 22: of violence because these people are not getting punt. I mean, 2191 01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:03,400 Speaker 22: it should have been from the get go that these 2192 01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:06,800 Speaker 22: protesters at colleges and all that should have had some punishment. 2193 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,160 Speaker 22: But instead, even for those colleges where they did call 2194 01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:13,320 Speaker 22: the police, and those were very few, the police would 2195 01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:15,080 Speaker 22: take them in and let them out the same day, 2196 01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:19,160 Speaker 22: just like with criminals. This is a very dangerous situation. 2197 01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:23,000 Speaker 22: You know this, we are at risk. All all of 2198 01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:26,000 Speaker 22: America is at risk of violence coming to your town 2199 01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:29,000 Speaker 22: like towns that were quiet, you know where you never 2200 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:31,960 Speaker 22: like other than New York City, or whether than Washington, 2201 01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:34,719 Speaker 22: d C. Or places or or Oregon, you know, places 2202 01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:40,320 Speaker 22: where you have come to expect violence, even just hometowns, 2203 01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,800 Speaker 22: you know, quiet hometowns. Nobody is getting the point where 2204 01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:46,800 Speaker 22: nobody is staked to go out of the outside, which 2205 01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:52,920 Speaker 22: of course is going to be uh intensifying the agoraphobia 2206 01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,000 Speaker 22: that we developed during COVID when we weren't allowed to 2207 01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:58,160 Speaker 22: go outside in some places, right. 2208 01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:00,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, And a lot of people still want to do that. 2209 01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:02,519 Speaker 4: We're seeing people fight left and right still to try 2210 01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,600 Speaker 4: and do remote working and work from home because they 2211 01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:06,920 Speaker 4: don't want to go out into society. And that's dangerous, right, 2212 01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:10,080 Speaker 4: I mean that isolationism, that loneliness. That's one of the 2213 01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:12,280 Speaker 4: leading causes of mental health problems right now. 2214 01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:16,719 Speaker 22: Yes, yes, way before COVID, studies you know have shown 2215 01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:20,800 Speaker 22: that isolation in itself, for you know, just just people 2216 01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:24,840 Speaker 22: who isolated can cause all kinds of physical problems like 2217 01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:27,920 Speaker 22: heart attacks and strokes and all kinds of physical problems, 2218 01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:30,720 Speaker 22: and as well as psychological problems. And you know, when 2219 01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:36,240 Speaker 22: you're when you're staying inside, you become you can develop 2220 01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:40,320 Speaker 22: paranoid ideas about the other you know, the people who 2221 01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:44,360 Speaker 22: are outside.
