1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: We're facing off against an existential threat. There forty seven 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: years of terror activities. Blood on Iranian's hands, American blood. 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 1: They've been murdering us. They've been killing us. They've been 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: targeting civilians, they've been taking us hostage. They've been killing 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: us wherever they can. They've been killing our friends wherever 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: they can. They call us the Great Satan. They wanted 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: a nuclear bomb so they could wipe us off the planet. 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump better not use the F word there. 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: I've just summed up Jake Tapper's entire program yesterday, but 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: I do want to show you part of it. Go ahead, Jake, 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: get really serious on us, because you're the most serious 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: journalist in Washington. And we're going to get to that 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: story in just one minute. But first, you know, we 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: talk about government fraud and waste a lot here on 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: the program, and for medicare enrolies, well, they become a 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: prime target of fraudulent activity. You probably saw in the 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: news recently that Trump's doj went after some of the 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: largest medicare brokers in the country for claiming they were 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: on biased all the while they were secretly steering people 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: into the plans that paid them The most And the 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: part that people need to understand is in a lot 22 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: of cases that behavior is legal, but it doesn't mean 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: it's in your best interest. A lot of agents aren't 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: really working for you, they're working for the insurance company. 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: And that's why I point people, including my own mother, 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: to chapter. Chapter does medicare differently. Their advisors are salaried, 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: so they're not pushing plans based on commissions. In fact, 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: they're the only Medicare advisor that actually compares every plan 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: available nationwide, not just the select few. There's no cost 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: to talk to them, and in most cases they can 31 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: review your options in about twenty minutes. So if you're 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: turning sixty five or already on Medicare, called Chapter the 33 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: numbers five eight zero three zero eight zero nine seven five. Honestly, 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: other than watching this show, I can think of a 35 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: better use of twenty minutes. Now back to the video. 36 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: He has just threatened Ron in extraordinary graphic terms, giving 37 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: the Iranian regime just over a day to either make 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: a deal, reopen the strait of horror moves, or face hell. 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: If your children are watching, be warned the president did 40 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 2: not use polite language. Quote Tuesday will be power plant 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: Day and Bridge Day all wrapped up in won in Iran, 42 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: there will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. 44 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: Just watch. 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: We should note that destroying civilian power infrastructure is generally 46 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: considered to constitute a war crime under international law, though 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: the president could argue that the infrastructure has dual use 48 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: and also is utilized by Iran's military. 49 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Yes, he could make that argument, Jake, because it's true, 50 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: and of course he will make that argument. And you 51 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: know that to say, well, it should be noted that 52 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: this would be constituted a war crime. FDR's a war criminal, 53 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: Harry Truman's war criminal, President Eisenhower's warm criminal. Johnny Kennedy 54 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: is a war criminal. Lbjays Well, lbj actually is a 55 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: war criminal. But you get the point. Such nonsense. We'll 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: get into that whole thing in a minute. But did 57 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: you notice something? Did you notice something about Jake Tapper 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: in such serious and morose tones. I regret that I 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: have to deliver this news to you, but this is 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: just the state of the world we're living in. Warn 61 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: your children. I'm going to read every word of it 62 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: because you need to hear every word, but he didn't 63 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: read every word. Did you notice what he left out? 64 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: Why did he leave it out? Okay, Jake, let's have 65 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: it again, only because I love to hear you saying 66 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: what the President said. Open the freaking straight. All right, 67 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: here we go. Notice read with me. 68 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: Or plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: won in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open 70 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: in hell. 72 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: Just watch wait, keep going. See he stops there, he's 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: leaving out the best part. He says, Praise be to Allah, 74 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: President Donald J. Trump. So let's understand something about the 75 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: edisitorial standards at CNN. If you're Jake Tapper and you're 76 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: trying to make a point and drag Donald Trump and 77 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: act like you're just so morally and ethically superior than 78 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: that monster we have in the White House, it's just 79 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: fine to say the F word to make that point. 80 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: But don't you dare say anything that might sound like 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: you're making fun of Allah. I mean, what's wrong with 82 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: saying Praise be to Allah? I mean, honestly, if you're 83 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: a Muslim, would you be offended if somebody says praise 84 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: be to Allah. I guess it depends on the context 85 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: I suppose. I mean, technically, Allah is an Arabic translation 86 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: for God, so praise be to God. I got no 87 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: problem with it, although generally speaking, people who refer to 88 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: God as Allah, generally speaking, have a different theology than 89 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I do, certainly, But you know what, there are plenty 90 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: of Arab based Christians who speak Arabic and use the 91 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: word Allah when they refer to God, the Father in 92 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: the Trinity. So why would Jake Tapper edit out praise 93 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: me to Allah. He didn't edit out the word bastards, 94 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: he didn't edit out open the fucking straight, but he 95 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: did edit out praise me to Allah. That is Chef's kiss. Brilliant, 96 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: absolutely great. Now listen the reaction to this Trump of 97 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: this tweet. This post goes well beyond just Jake Tapper 98 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: acting like he's so much superior to everybody else. We 99 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: also had this Hakim Jeffries Haquem Jeffries, leader in the House, 100 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: took his sombrero mustache off to tweet this out. He said, 101 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: disgusting an unhinged Easter message from Donald Trump. Something is 102 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: really wrong with this guy. Thank you for your attention 103 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: to this matter. Just so you know, this was not 104 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: the president's Easter message. He didn't mention Easter in here. 105 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: He didn't say anything about the risen Lord. He didn't 106 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: say anything about the resurrection. Just so you know. By 107 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: the way he came Jeffries and his political party and 108 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: his friends in the media like Jake Tapper. If Trump 109 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: had wished everybody a happy Easter and said he has 110 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: risen and professed his faith in the resurrection came, Jeffries 111 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: would have probably put out the same statement, disgusting and unhinged. 112 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: How dare you separation of church and stay hate. 113 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer was also very upset about it. Happy Easter, America, really, Chuck, 114 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: As you head off to church and celebrate with friends 115 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: and family. The President of the United States is ranting 116 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: like an unhinged bad man on social media. He's threatening 117 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: possible war crimes and alienating allies. This is who he is, 118 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: but this is not who we are. Our country deserves 119 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: so much better. I will deal with the war crimes 120 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: thing in a minute. It's such a fake story. But 121 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: are really gonna do an entire news cycle of I 122 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: can't believe Donald Trump said that thing? On Twitter. God, 123 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: it's been ten years since he's been in the public 124 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: eye as a politician, over ten years, and it's been 125 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: twenty years since he got an account on Twitter. Can 126 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: we just get over this please? And by the way, 127 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: you're all celebrating and elevating and making a hero out 128 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: of Gavin Newsom for being just as unhinged and just 129 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: as offensive, but he's targeting Trump. So I'm sorry if 130 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: you're really wringing your hands and disgusted by the President 131 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: doing this, unless you're equally as disgusted of Gavin Newsom 132 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: for doing this, you really have no credibility. And actually 133 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: you should be more disgusted at Gavin Newsom because he's 134 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: a poser and fake Trump is who Trump is. I 135 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: it would be great if we could just have a 136 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: news cycle go without everybody screaming about what he says 137 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: on social media. But there is a bit of a 138 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: method to his madness for putting out this tweet. I'll 139 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: explain that a little bit later too. It's just so tiresome. Honestly, 140 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: after Kaffifi or was it Kafefi, I don't know how 141 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: to pronounce it, But after that one, I feel like 142 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: it's all been downhill for the confusion and the outrage 143 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: over Trump's social media posts, but I think my favorite 144 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: reaction was this one. 145 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 4: They just want to fly under the radar and hope 146 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: that he doesn't tweet about them or truth about them. 147 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: It's all about their self preservation and so no, I 148 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 4: don't expect that I would like to see that, but 149 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 4: it's usually only just you know, one or two people 150 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 4: in either chamber, and it's usually you know, very very muted. 151 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: This is outrageous behavior from this president. And I know 152 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 4: that we've said it before on this show and others 153 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 4: that if President Biden or President Obama had said anything 154 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 4: remotely like this, it would be NonStop coverage on every 155 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: SIN channel and everyone in the other side of the 156 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 4: aisle and the House and the sidate would be howling 157 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: about it. 158 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So a couple of things here that I hope 159 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: you noticed. If Joe Biden or Barack Obama said this 160 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: sort of thing, it would dominate the news cycle. Like 161 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: this is dominating the news cycle. I mean, she's saying 162 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: that as if this isn't She's literally on cable news 163 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: and they're literally dedicating an entire segment, if not an 164 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: entire show about this issue, and she's trying to make 165 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: the case that, you know, Trump never gets any attention 166 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: for this sort of thing. But if it were Biden 167 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: and Obama, boy, we'd hear about it all over the place. No, 168 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: we're literally hearing about it all over the place. I 169 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: just showed you, Jake Tapper. I just showed you ms NOW. 170 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: I just showed you, Chuck Schumer. I just showed you 171 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: to keep Jeffries. What world is she living in? 172 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: This? 173 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: Congresswoman, by the way, Congresswoman beca balance. Also, I do 174 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: like this part of her fake point that she's attempting 175 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: to make that everybody else on the ms NOW panel 176 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: is like, hmm, that's right. Boy. If Biden said something 177 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: like this, we'd really be hearing about it all over 178 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: the news. Well, no, really, just one channel. Honestly, if 179 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: Biden had said something like this, we'd all be so impressive. 180 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: He could put together three coherent sentences that would be newsworthy. 181 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: But did you hear this part? 182 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 4: But this, it would be NonStop coverage on every single channel, 183 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 4: and everyone in the other side of the aisle in 184 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 4: the house and the said it would be howling about it. 185 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: Everybody on the other side of the eye would be 186 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: howling about it, but not on her side of the aisle. 187 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: So thank you for proving our point. If he's your 188 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: guy in the White House and he does something that 189 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: you don't like, you're not going to say anything about it, 190 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: And if it's the other guy, you'll scream about it. 191 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter who the guy is. So setting all of 192 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: that hypocrisy and double standard aside, what about what the 193 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: president actually said. And you know, the comparison to Joe 194 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: Biden is apt here, because no, Joe Biden didn't ever 195 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: say say anything like We're gonna bomble your infrastructure if 196 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: you don't open the freaking straight. He didn't say anything 197 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: like that. But when asked about Iran potentially launching an 198 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: attack against Israel when he was president, he said, this 199 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: is from Iran, mister President. 200 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 5: I want to expectations sooner than later. 201 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: Iran in this moment, don't okay. So the president was 202 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: asked how imminent is an attack by Iran against Israel? 203 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: He said, first he said I don't want to get 204 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: into any national security situation, and then went ahead anyway 205 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: and said sooner rather than later. That's some real sound 206 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: and sober leadership, and then when asked what's your message 207 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: to Iran, he said, don't and of course Iran did 208 00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: multiple times. So yeah, it is an app comparison. What 209 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: if Biden did this, Well, Biden wouldn't do this, He 210 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: did that, and what did Trump say? Well, let's go 211 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: back real fast and take a look at what Trump said, 212 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: because context is everything. Trump said that on Tuesday, We're 213 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: going to go after power plants and bridges in Iran. 214 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: There's not going to be anything like it unless you 215 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: open the freaking straight you crazy bastards. You can hear 216 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: him shouting with the multiple escamation points, and he's saying 217 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: to our military adversary, right now, enough with this crap. 218 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, I understand there had been ongoing 219 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: negotiations behind the scenes with third party countries involved as well, 220 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: and the last time he was sort of dealing with 221 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: negotiations with Iran and he had reached a point where 222 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: it was like, all right, do this or else or 223 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: else ended up happening, right, So he's signaling to Iran, Okay, 224 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: we've reached the serious part. 225 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 5: Now. 226 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: The other context is very important because this happened at 227 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: a time where the American military just proved around that 228 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: we can do the near impossible. We operated on their 229 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: territory more effectively than they operated on their territory by 230 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: rescuing our downed pilots, getting them out unharmed and back 231 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: home before Iranians could get to it in Iran. And 232 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: after that context is everything. Just hours after that successful 233 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: mission took place and we saved our downed airmen, he said, 234 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: all right, now you see what we're capable of. Get 235 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: this done now. But all Democrats want to do was 236 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: talk about the F word, and they want to talk 237 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: about so called war crimes. And no, it's not a 238 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: war crime. If you're going after important infrastructure that is 239 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: utilized by the military to wreak havoc on our allies 240 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: and on our mil military. All right, that's not a 241 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: war crime, never has been, never will be. Please show 242 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: me the commanding authority that can lock up the president 243 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: for a so called war crime. And by the way, 244 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: while you're at it, you might want to look into 245 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: what Barack Obama did with his disposition matrix and various 246 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: people who were killed at the push of a button 247 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: via a drone because he felt like it one day 248 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: and then you can tell me about war crimes. Tell 249 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: me about Joe Biden going after a van full of 250 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: a family going to a wedding because he wanted to 251 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: distract from the abbey Gate terror attacks. And then you 252 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: can tell me about war crimes. Okay, thanks. War is war? 253 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: Do you know what a war crime is? So when 254 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: you're on the receiving end of it and you don't 255 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: like it, that's what you call a war crime. And 256 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: by the way, this is a regime that literally targets 257 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: on a regular basis civilian locations. This is what they've 258 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: done for forty seven years. I'm sorry. Is it a 259 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: war crime to attack an embassy and take everyone hostage 260 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: for four hundred plus days? I think it might be. 261 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: What did Iron do right after our military strikes five 262 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago? They attacked hotels in Dubai. They oh, you 263 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: can't go after an energy infrastructure. They literally did that 264 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia and in the Emirates. The Trump's a 265 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: war criminal? Fine, Why is that all what Democrats want 266 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: to talk about? Why are they focused on this? Well, 267 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: because they know what's going on right now with the 268 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: American people. They know that this is going on. 269 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 6: Look at this net favorability party ahead at this point 270 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 6: midterm of years with a GOP president. In twenty eighteen, 271 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 6: Dems were up by twelve. In two thousand and six 272 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 6: on net favorability, which party you like more? Dems are 273 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 6: head by eighteen. Republicans are actually ahead on net favorability 274 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 6: at this point by five points. So Democrats are just 275 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 6: simply put running behind their previous benchmarks, and they'd be 276 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 6: running well ahead of them if they want to take 277 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 6: back the United States Senate given that map. 278 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: To be clear, both parties are wildly unfavorable right now. 279 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 7: However, Democrats are even more unpopular. 280 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: So listen, I've said this to you before, because you 281 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: don't come here for hopium. You don't come here for 282 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: me to blow smoke up your skirt. I still don't 283 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: quite understand what that means. You don't come here for 284 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: me to be a cheerleader without having some sort of 285 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: intelligent and fact based analysis. And the fact of the 286 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: matter is that Democrats are poised to win the majority 287 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: in the House statistically, historically, that's what happens in yours 288 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: like this after a Republican wins the White House two 289 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: years ago. And the fact that Mike Johnson only has 290 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: a majority of what two three seats right now, makes 291 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: it that much easier. Democrats have much less room for error. Republicans. 292 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta sweep, they gotta do they gotta 293 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: have a perfect midterm election. Okay, but just understand that 294 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: if Democrats do in fact win the House, it will 295 00:16:51,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: be because they have overcome historically devastatingly unpopular numbers with 296 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: the American people. As of now, for the first time 297 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: in two decades, the off party following the presidential election 298 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: actually is less popular than the end party. That's bad, 299 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: and they know it's bad, and so they can't tell 300 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: you about themselves. They can't talk about their ideas or 301 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: their agenda or they're great politicians that are so inspiring. 302 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: All they want to do is talk about Trump and 303 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: act crazy to distract you from actually who they are 304 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: and what they plan to do. And the media, of 305 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: course is helping them out. They're in rupar Does he 306 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: have a job? I think he's considered a left wing 307 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: influencer in the news sphere. He says, the biggest story 308 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: in the world right now is that the president of 309 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: the United States. It is a demented old man who 310 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: takes pleasure in torturing and killing people. We torture people everybody. 311 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm old enough to remember when they 312 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: said about this about Dick Cheney and George W. Bush. 313 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: You know, the Republicans that they have respect for now whatever, uh, 314 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: killing be able, committing crimes with impunity, and yet most 315 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like 316 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: it is. It's true, Aaron, You're such a wise observer. 317 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: One thing we've noticed over here is that corporate legacy media, 318 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: like the New York Times and the Washington Post and ABC, CBS, 319 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: NBC and all the cable news networks, they're really reluctant 320 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: to criticize Donald Trump. If you notice that, that's a 321 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: trend we've been on top of for quite some time. 322 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: These people live in fantasyland, but this is the narrative 323 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 1: they try to get out. And then the talking points 324 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: go out yesterday after the President's tweet. Look at this. 325 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: It's uncanny, isn't it. Suddenly all of these congressmen and 326 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: influencers and senators are all saying the same thing. It's 327 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: time for the twenty fifth Amendment. Twenty fifth Amendment, because 328 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: Trump used the F word against our enemy twenty fifth Amendment. 329 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: They never asked for the twenty fifth Amendment when we 330 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: had a president with mashed potatoes for brains, But now 331 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: we need the twenty fifth Amendment. Even after Joe Biden 332 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: melted down on the stage and it was all determined 333 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: that he couldn't run for reelection, they were still fine 334 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: with him being president for another eight months and have 335 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: his finger on the nuclear button. But Trump tweets out 336 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: the F word and it's time for the twenty fifth Amendment. 337 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: They're terrified, and they have a messaging infrastructure that allows 338 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: this kind of garbage to happen. And by the way, 339 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: before they were dealing with the twenty fifth Amendment, they 340 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: were telling everybody all day Saturday that Trump had been hospitalized. 341 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: We haven't seen Trump in forty eight hours. Oh my god, 342 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: he's been hospitalized. Incredible reports that he's a Walter Reed 343 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: Medical Center. Speculations points to the president being in critical condition. 344 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: Everyone repeating it over and over and over the place. 345 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: Think about this for a minute. These are the same 346 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: people that go nuts if Trump appears on a television 347 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: show in prime time where that he goes to the 348 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: Supreme court, or he does an address to the American 349 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: people where he shows up at a football game or a 350 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: baseball and he's like, why is Trump everywhere? And then 351 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: he takes forty eight hours to oversee as commander in 352 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: chief a critical rescue operation of a down to airman 353 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: behind enemy lines, and they're. 354 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 8: Like, where is Trump? We haven't seen him for forty 355 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 8: eight hours. He must be dead. They are obsessed. It's 356 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 8: like broke Back Mountain in DC right now. They just 357 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 8: can't quit Trump. All right, I'm sorry I made that comparison, 358 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 8: but you get the point. Yeah, Trump was missing for 359 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 8: forty eight hours. No he wasn't at well to read. 360 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 8: No he wasn't in critical condition. No he wasn't dying. 361 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 8: This is what he was doing. We got him, my 362 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 8: fellow Americans. Over the past several hours, the United States 363 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 8: Military pulled off one of the most dear bring search 364 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 8: and rescue operations in US history for one of our 365 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 8: incredible crew member officers, who also happens to be a 366 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 8: highly respected colonel and who I am thrilled to let 367 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 8: you know is now safe and sound. This brave warrior 368 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 8: was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran 369 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 8: being hunted down by our enemies who were getting closer 370 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 8: and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone 371 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 8: because his commander in chief, Secretary of were a chairman 372 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 8: of jointed chiefs of staff, and fellow warfighters were monitoring 373 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 8: his location twenty four hours a day and diligently planning 374 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 8: for his rescue. Can I just pause for a second, 375 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 8: if you were following this story the way I was 376 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 8: over the weekend, it's one of the greatest things that 377 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 8: our American military has ever done. And know it's not 378 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 8: you know, winning World War Two, it's not d Day, 379 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 8: moving heaven and earth to rescue this man behind enemy 380 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 8: lines the way that we did, knowing what would have 381 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 8: happened to this man if God forbid he fell into 382 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 8: the hands of our enemy. And by the way, does 383 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 8: this not convey to everybody who were dealing with with 384 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 8: a run Everybody was thinking the same thing about the 385 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 8: hell on earth that this colonel was going to have 386 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 8: to live through if he ended up being a hostage 387 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 8: of the Iranian regime. Do you realize what they were 388 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 8: going to do to him? Do you realize how they 389 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 8: were going to humiliate him? Do you realize how they 390 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 8: were going to torture him. Do you realize how they 391 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 8: were going to exploit him and use him. 392 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: And by the way, democrats and the media and the 393 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: people in the media who opposed this military effort, they 394 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: would have gladly gone along and carried the water for 395 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: the tyrannical Iranian regime who exploited this man, saying, see, 396 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: this is why. 397 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: We've got to end this. Now find your off ramp. 398 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 3: This is a disaster. This is all Trump's fault. This 399 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 3: is horrible. They don't care about this man. They were 400 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: more than willing to use his life and his. 401 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: Dire circumstances for their own political purposes, knowing what this 402 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: man would have had to deal with if he had 403 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: been captured by the Iranians. What a race against time 404 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: and what an incredible moment when you've got the IRGC 405 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: in their own country trying to track down and find 406 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: this guy, and then the United States military successfully tracking 407 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: him down, getting him and getting him out of there 408 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: behind enemy lines on Iran's territory. We proved that we 409 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: are more effective and devastating in Iran, operating in that 410 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: country than the Iranian military is operating in Iran. The 411 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: movies that will be made about this last forty eight 412 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: hours that we've all been through. I cannot wait. And 413 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: I'm already getting emotional thinking about it, because you know what, 414 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: as someone who has very close friends and family who 415 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: are in the military, knowing that they are in harm's way, 416 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: and it sucks. It sucks, and it's out of your control. 417 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: And you know that your family member or your friends 418 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: signed up for this and they knew what they were 419 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: getting into. And let me tell you something. I have 420 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: people close to me in the Marines who are there 421 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: right now waiting. They're on the ships off the shore 422 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: of Iran. They're waiting for the call if we have 423 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: an operation that requires Marines. I have very close friends 424 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: and family members in the Navy who are also part 425 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: of this engagement right now when they are operating in 426 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: this engagement. I also have friends and family who are 427 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: Marines who are not over in Iran. And the ones 428 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: who are not over in Iran want to be there. 429 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: They wish they were there. This is who these men are. 430 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: They are right where they want to be, and they 431 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: ask just one thing. If they end up like this colonel, 432 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: this Air Force officer, this a special weapons officer. If 433 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: if they end up shot down behind enemy lines and 434 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: they are alive and they are following their training for survival, 435 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: all they ask is that we go and get them, 436 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: that we don't forget them, that we don't leave them behind. 437 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: And let me tell you something what happened here in 438 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: this operation. The next aircrew that has to go into 439 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: a jet and strap in to go do the next 440 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: mission in Iran, they are going to strap in that 441 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: much tighter, They're going to fly that much faster, and 442 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: they're going to be that much more devastating. The kind 443 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: of zeal that they are going to fight with now 444 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: knowing that this military and our country has their backs. 445 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: It's what the war fighting ethos is all about. And 446 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: for the people who don't get it, or who want 447 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: to criticize or exploit this moment, you will never understand. 448 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: I'm in the business of trying to get people to understand, 449 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: but I feel like if we can, if we're too 450 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: far apart on something like this as fundamental as this, 451 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: I sadly look at you and say, you will never 452 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: really understand. Let's just agree with respect to go in 453 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: our opposite directions. This was incredible and all Jake Tapper 454 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: wants to do, is Trump using the effort in a tweet? 455 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: Because yeah, maybe he was a little jacked and fired 456 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: up after this. All King Jeffries wants to talk about 457 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: is how Trump defaced Easter. All the media wants to 458 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: talk about is the twenty fifth Amendment. After lying to 459 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: you saying that Trump was ill and in his deathbed, 460 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: the members of the opposing party to the president were 461 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: few and far between. And that's why it brings me pleasure, 462 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: and I do mean pleasure to tell you about one 463 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: Jay Johnson. He was the Secretary of Homeland Security under 464 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: President Obama. This is not his first time being critical. 465 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: Excuse me, I apologize, Secretary Johnson. This is not his 466 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: first time willing to give raise to the Trump administration's 467 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: handling of national security affairs. And by the way, he 468 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: was incredibly critical of Alejandro mayorkas a guy on his 469 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: team when he lifted open the borders and let millions 470 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: of illegal immigrant criminals into this country. Jay Johnson was 471 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: there to say that was mad. And he was there 472 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: yesterday to praise the. 473 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 5: Effort, this operation for the first pilot and this second pilot, 474 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 5: so remarkable exercise demonstration of US military courage, technology power. 475 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 5: I would encourage the President and the Secretary of Defense, 476 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 5: consistent with operational security, share as much of that with 477 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 5: the American public so that the American public can appreciate 478 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 5: what goes into This kind of operation was more complicated 479 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 5: than the bin laden operation. 480 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: More complicated than the bin laden operation. And he's right 481 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: because the bin laden operation, they had like over six 482 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: months to plan for it. They knew it the layout was, 483 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: They knew exactly where he was, they knew what the 484 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: architecture of the building was. They knew who was living 485 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: next door, they knew their schedule, they tracked them. They 486 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: knew exactly what room he was living in. This operation 487 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: took place in a wooded crevice on a mountain side 488 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: of a foreign country, and they only had forty eight 489 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: hours to respond and figure it out and get it done. 490 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely incredible. And why was it important? Well, let's let 491 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: General Frank McKenzie, retired Sentcom Commander, have the last word 492 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: here to explain to you why this was so important, 493 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: why it was so phenomenal, why it could be the 494 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: turning point in this war, and yes, why President Trump 495 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: then felt embolden to put out a tweet that you 496 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: may not like the language of, and I may not 497 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: like the language of, but could very well end up 498 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: being an incredibly effective way to let our enemies know 499 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: that we got them right where they don't want to 500 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: be had. Sometimes you got to put it in pretty 501 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: explicit terms. 502 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 7: So it took just under forty eight hours to find 503 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 7: the missing weapons systems officer after the jet they were 504 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 7: in went down in a remote and mountainous area of 505 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 7: southwestern Iran. The weapons officer was hiding in a mountainous crevice. 506 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 7: We're told by a senior administration official, what's your assessment 507 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 7: of how the search and rescue operation went? 508 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 9: So I think i'd draw two lessons from it. At first, 509 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 9: of all, the excellence of the Joint force, our ability 510 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 9: to rapidly pivot to look for a down aircrewman. We 511 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 9: trained for this endlessly. It's a part of every time 512 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 9: we send aircrew over enemy territory. We have detailed, elaborate 513 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 9: plans to go get them. It's a very basic part 514 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 9: of who we are as American fighting men and women. 515 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 9: So that plan swung into action. I think it was 516 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 9: executed pretty effectively. As always, you've got somebody on the ground, 517 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 9: maybe injured. They got to get to a position where 518 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 9: they can hide until you can get to them. All 519 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 9: that seemed to work out very well, and you know, 520 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 9: we did in fact lose a couple of aircraft in 521 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 9: that mission. But I would just tell you it takes 522 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 9: a year to build an aircraft. It takes two hundred 523 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 9: years to build a military tradition where you don't leave 524 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 9: anybody behind. You take the aircraft trade any day in 525 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 9: a situation like this. The other lesson I think is 526 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 9: a hard lesson for Iran. First of all, they were 527 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 9: not able to find the missing air crew and second, 528 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 9: you know, they put a broad appeal to their people 529 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 9: to turn him in reward, asking for all kinds of leads. 530 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 9: That does not appear to have been successful, and that 531 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 9: would I think that's maybe a sign of disaffection, don't know. 532 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 9: But you can't be happy with that if you're a 533 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 9: senior leader in Tehran this morning. 534 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: Nope, you're real unhappy in fact, and you know it's over. 535 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time now. And maybe President 536 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: Trump telling them that they should open the fing straight 537 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: you're crazy bastards, might actually be the message that they 538 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: needed to hear. At that moment when they were that 539 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: demoralized in the general's right. There are plenty of videos 540 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: that show Iranians out in the villages in the areas 541 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: near where the search and rescue was going on, blocking 542 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: the roads so that the IRGC couldn't get through, milling 543 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: about in the middle of the town in the middle 544 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: of the night to sort of keep a distraction from happening, 545 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: so that the Americans can get in and out. What 546 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: a story and deserves a lot more time in the media. 547 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: But you know, when you're running a cable news station 548 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: and you're a really important and serious journalist like Jake Tapper, 549 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: you need to make choices now and again. Gee, do 550 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: we talk about the incredible efforts of our military and 551 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: rescuing this guy and this feel good thing this really is. 552 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: Should that be what we focus on right now? No, 553 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: Trump dropped an f bomb, breaking news. Let's go with that. 554 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: God bless our troops. Say a prayer for them, each 555 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: and every one of them. Police Amst.
