1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm Josh Hammer, and this is the Josh Hammer Show. 2 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: So the mayhem in Minneapolis now spilling over to multiple cities. 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 2: It is coast to coast. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: Anarchy yet again in numerous large urban areas of these 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: United States, cities as far and wide as Houston, Texas, Cincinnati, Ohio, Washington, 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: d c Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and more, filled with angry protesters, 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: no doubt coronated in some fashion or another, calling for 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: the abolition of ICE, calling for ICE to get off 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: of their streets. This ultimately reached also Portland, Oregon. Pearl 10 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: And Oregon, one of the ground zero cities when it 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: comes to leftist insurrectionary anarchy in America. Porland, Oregon, you recall, 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: was a flame for large swaths of the summer of 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: law of the summer of twenty twenty, the summer of 14 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: the George Floyd Antifa BLM riots. Pearl And Oregon was 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: at the epicenter of all this yesterday because there were 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 1: multiple people who were shot in another confrontation between ICE 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: and various other federal agents and so called protesters aka 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: anarchists and rioters there in Portland, Oregon, all the way 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: out on the Pacific Coast DHS partufull Mandsecurity saying that 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: the Portland incident happened during a traffic stop of a 21 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: Venezuelan gang member and DHS SO Secretary Chris Noman her 22 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: entire organization, Trisia McLaughlin is the main spokesperson there at DHS. 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: DHS is saying that this Venezuelan gang member attempted to 24 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: run over agents with his car, So a very similar 25 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: story to what we saw earlier this week. Unfortunately, in 26 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: the Twin Cities where you had renade Nicole Good who, 27 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: based on all the video that we've seen, did indeed 28 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: attempt to run over or at bare minimum, it made 29 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: no effort to avoid giving the impression that she intended 30 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: to run over the ice agent in question there. So 31 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: the protests have now spread all the way out to 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: Porland as well. So we're dealing in again with coast 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: to coast chaos. And on yesterday's show, we were comparing 34 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: this to the summer of twenty twenty. Look, the summer 35 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty was one of the worst seasons of 36 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: my entire life. Chances are it was probably one of 37 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: the worst seasons of your entire life too. I have memories, 38 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: not so very fond memories as the case may be, 39 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: of early on in that horrific summer. So the COVID 40 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: nineteen lockdown started then in mid March of twenty twenty. 41 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: George Floyd dies in late May, so about two to 42 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: two and a half months later, And I just I 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: recall going to Chicago, going to the Windy City, in 44 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: the downtown, the Loop, River North, this real urban corridor. 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: It felt like a zombie apocalypse. All the storefronts are 46 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: brought up there. We're all in our mass at the 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: time because at the time, most people thought that COVID 48 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: nineteen was a was a lethal pandemic. By the way, 49 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: we're still winning an accountability for of all that which 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: the biomedical establishment got so horrifically wrong. And that was 51 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: only the beginning, because for months and months and months, 52 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: very much egged on by the Biden Harris campaign. Who 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: can forget how Kamala Harris vowed that she would make 54 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: donations and encourage supporters to make donations to the bail 55 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: fund for Black Lives Matter anarchists who were indicted and 56 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: arrested at various times. 57 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: Who can forget that? 58 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: So are we right now about to go back to 59 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: that this, this is the question right now. Donald Trump 60 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: stands for a lot of things. Immigration has been his 61 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: sinaquonon has been his number one issue since his descends 62 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: down the gilded escalator at Trump Tower now ten and 63 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: a half years ago, in the summer of twenty fifteen. 64 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: But you want to then get past the initial surface 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: issue of immigration, and immigration is the most important of 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: all the issues for sure, not downplaying immigration the slightest 67 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: is the only issue that touches on every single other 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: issue in our life, culture, economics, crime, national security, personal security, 69 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: and ultimately the most foundational questions in all politics, who 70 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: are we as a people and as a nation? So 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm not downplaying immigration the slightest. But when you get 72 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: past Trump's senator issue, immigration law and order has been 73 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: a key theme of President Trump's political bersona since he 74 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: ran for president successfully in twenty sixteen. Now, He's not 75 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: always been truly truly perfect on that. There was a 76 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: blip on the radar during his first term when he 77 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: signed the Misspeig Godden First Step Act, this jail break 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: legislation that was pushed by Kanye West and Kim Kardashian 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: and Jared Kushner and others, a very unfortunate bill. But 80 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: other than that blip in the radar, and especially especially 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: on the campaign trail in twenty twenty four and in 82 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: this second term. Above all, Don Trump has governed as 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: a law and order president. That is why he has 84 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: sent the National Guard into many cities in America, and 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: currently he's dealing with a bit of a setback recently 86 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: at the US Supreme Court when it comes to his 87 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: efforts to shape up the National Guard in cities where 88 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: they are not necessarily welcome to by the governor. As 89 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: a side, my unsolicited advice to administration on that is 90 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: fairly straightforward, which is, at least for now, put a 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: pause when it comes to sending the National Guard into 92 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: blue cities in blue states, so cities like Chicago, Illinois, 93 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: for instance, and focus for now on blue crime writen 94 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: cities in red states where the governor will welcome you in. 95 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Austin, Texas, Saint 96 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: Louis or Kansas City, Missouri. 97 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: Places like that. 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense to me, So Trummore generally, though, 99 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to Washington, D c which has 100 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: seen a genuine, a genuine reduction in a violent and 101 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: property crime. He has been governing as a law and 102 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: order president. ICE is just one of the many law 103 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: enforcement agencies in the federal government. They exist to enforce 104 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: a certain sliver of federal law, this nation's immigration laws. 105 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: This nation has had immigration laws for a very very 106 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: very long time. In fact, it is constitutionally codified in 107 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: Article one section of the Constitution, the part of our 108 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: founding Charter that lists the enumerated powers of the Congress. 109 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: It is right there that Congress shall prescribe a uniform 110 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: rule of naturalization, thus implying that there is to be 111 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: such things as naturalizations, meaning that there's gonna be such 112 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: thing as welcoming in new immigrants. So the entire notion 113 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: of bringing new people similarting them naturalizing that this was 114 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: all part of who we are, and you need laws 115 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: to do that. ICE is there to enforce parts of 116 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: our immigration law. If you don't like the way the 117 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: ICE is operating, you have recourse. You can lobby your congressman, 118 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: you can lobby your center to change this nation's immigration laws. Heck, 119 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: I happen to be a big fan of Ice and 120 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: I have lobbied, and my own capacity as a commentator 121 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: and a columnist, I have been lobbying for years to 122 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: in his nation's immigration laws. I actually want them to 123 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: be stricter. Maybe you disagree, Maybe you want them to 124 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: be looser, more lax. Fine, that's your right. You can disagree. 125 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: As an American, we all have that right to form 126 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: our own political opinion, that to disagree on the key 127 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: issues that confront us. Alternatively, you have the right to 128 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: seek recourse in a federal court of law. You think 129 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: that a certain immigration statute is unconstitutional as written, or 130 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: perhaps as being applied in an unconstitutional, illegal, discriminatory, et 131 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: cetera fashion. Okay, maybe I don't agree, but you have 132 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: the right to make that case. Go find your local 133 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: open borders public interest law firm, La Raza, maybe it's 134 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: even the ACLU. Go find one of them and make 135 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: your case in court. You have that right as well. 136 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: What you do not have the right to do is 137 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: to be smirch, to decry, at minimum and at maximum, 138 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: to engage in potentially violent hostilities against this nation's law enforcement. 139 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: The rule of law is ultimately what separates civilization from barbarism. 140 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: Really it is actually that blunt. You can go back 141 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: to political philosophy one on one think about Thomas Hobbes, 142 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: the English political philosopher who was the predecessor of Swords 143 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: to John Locke, who most Americans are more familiar with. 144 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: Thomas Hobbs and his famous book. Leviathan wrote about what 145 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: he envisioned as the state of nature, and to Hobbes, 146 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: in Hobesian political theory, the state of nature was infamously 147 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: a war of all against all, this state of anarchy, 148 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: where we're all just in it to protect our own skin, 149 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: protect our own family, our own tribe or communi, et cetera. 150 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: And therefore, as part of the social contract, we give 151 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: a right to the government to prevent this state of anarchy. 152 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: These are the antecedents of modern Western political theory, the 153 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: likes of which it has existed at least in the 154 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: era of the nation states, the era of the Westphalian 155 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: nation state system the mid seventeenth century and onwards. We 156 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: need laws, and you need to have respect for law enforcement. 157 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: Without the rule of law, everything crumbles. You can't be 158 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: safe while walking on the sidewalk. You can't be confident 159 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: that you won't be mugged. Heck, here in Florida where 160 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: I live, a woman in her elder years was just 161 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: stabbed in horrific fashion in a Barnes and Noble in 162 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: a bookstore in Palm Beach County. I'm sick of hearing 163 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: these stories, whether there's stories about illegal immigrants, legal aliens, 164 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: whether the story is just about folks who should have 165 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: been institutionalized. How about the horrific murder of the Ukrainian 166 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: refugee in Sharle, North Carolinas, Whether it's legal aliens or 167 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: people who shouldn't be on the streets in general, you 168 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: know they're here legally, they should be institutionalized. The rule 169 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: of law must be made supreme. And this notion of 170 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: just bashing and bashing and bashing our law enforcement, it 171 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: has to stop. And yes, the rhetoric is out of control. 172 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: Out of control, it is directly incentivizing the instigating people 173 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to start throwing molotov cocktails, to getting in ICE's face, 174 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: getting in the National Guardsman's face, ultimately including such tragedies 175 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: as the fatal shooting of the National guardswoman in Washington, 176 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: CEA on Thanksgiving Eve. Tim Walls for what It's Worth 177 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: says that he's not using inflammatory terms. Yeah, okay, go 178 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: ahead and watch this. 179 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: They have determined the character of a thirty seven year 180 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: old mom that they didn't even know. Don't know. They've 181 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 3: determined that the actions are done. I don't know. I've 182 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: not used inflammatory terms of what happened. I've asked us 183 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: to find the answer. The only way we find the 184 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 3: answers is a thorough investigation. I don't have a predetermined notion. 185 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 3: Yes I saw the video, yes I saw that. But 186 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: a thorough investigation, we'll see what happened before that. It 187 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: will take all factors in and it will come up 188 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 3: with a fair and just conclusion and we will accept that. 189 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: Very very difficult for Minnesotan's to think in any way 190 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 3: this is going to be fair. When Christinoman was judge 191 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: jury and basically executioner yesterday, that's very very difficult to 192 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: think that they were going to be fair. 193 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: Okay, so judge jury and execution ere that's not inflammatory rhetoric, 194 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: Tim Walls, when you called Ice a mini Gestapo last summer, therefore, 195 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: directly comparing Ice to the Nazis was that inflammatory. 196 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: Get out of here. This has to stop. 197 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: People are going to get killed frankly, maybe that's even 198 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: the point, and Joshammer will be right back. It has 199 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: now been weeks of the most roiling protests that the 200 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: theocratic claricy in Tehran, Iran has faced in the entire 201 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,479 Speaker 1: existence of that most sordid of Islamist regimes. It's getting nasty. 202 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: So just yesterday on Thursday, we had on Rich Goldberg 203 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: of the Foundation for Defensive Democraties to talk a little 204 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: bit about how they are cutting off all the phone lines, 205 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: all of the Internet. They are in Iran, which typically 206 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: means that bad stuff is going down, and sure enough, 207 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: in the late hours local time of Thursday evening into 208 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: Friday morning, there were lots of reports of some bad 209 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: stuff going down there in Iran. There's an interesting account 210 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: on x that I follow, This account name mon Sure 211 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: this is her real name. Her account's name is neo Berg, 212 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: and she's been tweeting a lot. She's a Persian Jewish 213 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: woman if you believe her her bio, which I have 214 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: no reason not to believe, And she's been tweeting a 215 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: lot about the protests. And Neo Berg had this to say. 216 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: She claims it's coming from a source inside the Israeli 217 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: Massad again take with the Grant assaults. It's a bit 218 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: of a game of phone tag here, but fascinating stuff. 219 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: Here's what therese accounts, which I've come to personally to 220 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: mostly believe. Whatever it's worth. Here's what this account says. 221 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: Choose to believe it or not. But remember that I 222 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: was the first to insist Massad is involved in this uprising. 223 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: Until the last hour, at least fifty murders as of 224 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: an hour ago, those fifty murders from the regime on 225 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,599 Speaker 1: the protesters. However, Iranians have not left the streets and 226 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: they're fighting. So far, the massacres have not stopped, but 227 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: it's a battle. The Masad is active on the ground, 228 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: but they are discreet. They're currently handing out starlink dishes 229 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: to Iranians and give them vital information to stay safe. 230 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: Massad has uncovered that the IRGC, that's the Islamic Revolutionary 231 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: Guard Corps, the militant wing of the Islamist regime. There So, 232 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: Mazad has uncovered that the IRGC stores supplies weapons, water 233 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: and food underneath mosques and shrines. 234 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: We have ever heard that before? 235 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's exactly what Hamas does in Gaza too, 236 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: and many of these mason shrines are connected by tunnels. 237 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: They're directing Iranians to target these. Currently, the protesters are 238 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: trying to locate kammey Ny, the Iatol, the Supremelyda, trying 239 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: to locate his exact location. It's unclear if Masad or 240 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: the protesters have an assassination in mind, but they are 241 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: working around the clock. This is perhaps the most interesting 242 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: part of it of this post made. Some regime figures 243 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: are actually moving their families out of Iran, apparently, so 244 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: there's been all these rumors about the Ayatola kamme Ny, 245 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: who apparently has a backup plan in place if you 246 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: believe this reporting from the Times of London, the British paper. 247 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: Apparently Kameny has a plan in place in case the police, 248 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: in case IRGC, in case all of the various elements 249 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: the factions of the islamk Republic, if they all stop 250 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: defending the regime. Apparently the Kameny, the Ayatola, has a 251 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: plan to high tail and get over to Moscow with 252 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: a twenty person inner circle. Apparently the foreign Minister of 253 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: the reg the guy who leads their international negotiations for 254 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: what it's worth apparently right now, he's actually not even 255 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: inside Iran. Apparently he is in Lebanon. They're calling it 256 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: an official diplomatic visits. But his wife and children are 257 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: also there apparently, which really ultimately means that he is 258 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: there because he fears for his life. But the videos 259 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: and images that are coming out of Iran are utterly astounding. 260 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: You have in many of these cities all across the country, 261 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: you have local police that are risking at all, that 262 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: are putting their lives on the line, local police that 263 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: are basically sticking two middle fingers to the Islamis who 264 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,479 Speaker 1: run the country and are actually siding with the protesters. 265 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: There are parts of Iran that until a day or 266 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: two ago, parts of Tehran, the capital, I should say 267 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: that up until a day or two go, we're not 268 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: joining in the rest of the freight. Those were seen 269 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: as bastions, as holdouts for regime loyalty. But we can 270 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: now safely say, based on all that we've seen here 271 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: that the city of Tehran is pretty much all united, north, south, east, west, 272 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: All the parts of city are basically now united. They're 273 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: in the capital. When it comes to trying ultimately to 274 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: pressure this regime to step down, So first and foremost 275 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: pray for the Iranian people, like genuinely actually do it. 276 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: Persia is a very very very proud, long, beautiful in 277 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: many ways culture. Persian civilization goes back two and a 278 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: half millennia. One of my favorite holidays on the Jewish calendar, 279 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: the holiday of Porum, which is a holiday based around 280 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible, takes place 281 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: in ancient Persia. Persians go back a long time, and 282 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: prior to the Islamist takeover of that country in nineteen 283 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: seventy nine, it was still in many ways it was 284 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: a little authoritarian under the shop, but in many ways 285 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: it was still a beautiful civilization as recently as not 286 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: my lifetime, but saw the older adults still let me 287 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: to stay their lifetime. And sure enough, if you actually 288 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: look at the polls today it's not always easy to 289 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: get reliable polling on this matter, but the Iranian people, 290 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: the Persian people today, if you look at most of 291 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: the cross tams Poles, are way less extreme in their 292 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: worldview than most of the Arab countries around them. Even 293 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: the Arab countries that have renounced islmism and have adopted 294 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: a more moderate flavor of Islam. This has been one 295 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: of the tragedies for the past four and a half 296 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: decades in Iran is that this horrific regime, this regime 297 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: which has been responsible for more bloodshed than any other 298 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: state actor. When it comes to funding Hasbola. When it 299 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: comes to funding, the who theis young. When it comes 300 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: to murdering hundreds and hundreds of American soldiers with those 301 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: roadside IEDs in Iraq, this regime is a terrible fit 302 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: for the Iranian people. The onus is on President Trump, 303 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: and President Trump gets this, the onus is on him 304 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: to not let this opportunity go to waste. I'm not 305 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: saying you flying in the hundred first airborne to liberate 306 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: a Ran in the name of Globo Homo, as Tucker 307 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: Carls would say, No, that's obviously not my stance. But 308 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: you have to offer support to the protesters, maybe engage 309 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: as our guests yesterday Rich Goldberg speculated in things like 310 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: cyber attacks, But don't let this go to waste. One 311 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: of the great stains of Barack Obamas presidential legacy, and 312 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: there were many, one of the great stains was that 313 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: he lets the last large scale Iranian uprising in two 314 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, the so called Green Revolution, go to waste, 315 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: mister presidents, do not do that this time. For what 316 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: it's worth, Donald Trump showing no sign that he intends 317 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: to let it go to waste. Here was Donald Trump 318 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: speaking on his very topic to Sean Hannity on Fox News. 319 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 4: But I have put Arano noticed that if they start 320 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 4: shooting at him. These people are totally unarmed people, and 321 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 4: they love their country. 322 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: They want something to happen. Look at their country. 323 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 4: They've gone, they've gone back one hundred and fifty years. 324 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 4: But I've follow them that if they do an anything 325 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 4: bad to these people, we're going to hit him very hard. 326 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 5: So if there is mass murder by the Iranian Ayahtols 327 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 5: and those leadership, you're pledging to the people of Iran 328 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 5: that you will come to their aid. 329 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 4: I've said it very loud and very clearly. You know 330 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: that's what we're going to do. 331 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: Dal Trump doesn't mince words, folks. He's shown that time 332 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: and time again. The B two bombing run over the 333 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: Iruni MUCRE facilities last June, the couragous operation against Ices 334 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: at bogohraam to save the beleaguer pursue to Christians in 335 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: Nigeria on Christmas, just a couple of weeks ago, the 336 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: operation to extract Nicholas Maduro and his wife in the 337 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: middle of the night, just last weekend in Cracas, Venezuela. 338 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: When dal Trump says something, he means it. The question is, 339 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: have we already reached the line that dald Trump is 340 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: describing there to Sean Hannity, Have we already reached the 341 00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: line of mass states murder of instantly pro testing civilians. Distance, 342 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: It's very hard to get an accurate death toll, but 343 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 1: right now it's clearly over fifty, possibly even higher than that. 344 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: And what is that? 345 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: What does that doesn't mean for the United States to 346 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: get involved? 347 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: Well, we'll leave the details to the policymakers. 348 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: Frankly, I have great trust in the President, in the 349 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Raising Kine, in Secretary Hegseeth, 350 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: in Secretary Rubio. I have great trust them to formulate 351 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: a concrete, tangible game plan. 352 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: But at a moment like this. 353 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: Where the axis that opposes America un her interests is 354 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: weakened Venezuela, Maduro, well they're gone for now' see what 355 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: happens with Delsa Rodriguez the new socials in charge. But 356 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: for now Maduro's out, the Cuban regime absent to Venezuela, 357 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: and oil is now tottering. Russia looks simply embarrassed given 358 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: their S three hundred missile defense and work in Iran 359 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: or Venezuela, and they're wounded in Ukraine also looks a 360 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: bit silly, given that they stood nominally for Iran and Venezuela. 361 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: Don't let this go to waste a geopolitical chess board. 362 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: With this horrific Isla's regime not in power in Iran 363 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: changes everything. The Middle East would be totally upended overnight. 364 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: And with an up ended Middle East and the chance 365 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: for broader rock pro chemont and peace between the Arab world, 366 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: the Persian world aka Iran, and the Jewish world aka Israel, 367 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: you're looking at a totally changed geopolitical map. President Trump 368 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: has his eyes on the prize here. What exactly that means, 369 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: We're not entirely clear yet, but a lot of good 370 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: stuff ahead. 371 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: That I have no doubt. We'll be right back. 372 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: I think back, just to finish up our thoughts here 373 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: on Iran venezuel and all this, I think back oftentimes 374 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: to what happened last June where there was this twelve 375 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: day war where the Israeli military he took out a 376 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: lot of the initial Iranian air defense infrastructure, and then 377 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: the United States comes in with those big swooping B 378 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: two bombers for the death blow, for the coup de gras, 379 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: if you will, at the end the analogy that I 380 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: made the time for the basketball fans and that this 381 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: is something of an alley oop. Think about Kobe Bryant 382 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: dishing off to Shaquille O'Neil for an alley oop back 383 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: in the day twenty five years ago for the Lakers, 384 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: give or take. And I think back to the polling 385 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: at that time. There was a CBS News poll at 386 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: that time which showed that ninety four percent of self 387 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: identified MAGA Republicans supported President Trump's actions against the Iranian 388 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: nuclear facility ninety four percent. It really does make you 389 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: wonder all all of these doomsdayers, what Dan Bongino calls 390 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: the black pillars, It really makes you wonder what audience 391 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: are they speaking purportedly on. Behalf of the folks like 392 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, who exactly are you speaking for for the 393 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: six percent of so called MAGA that opposed Iran. I 394 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: think of that now in the context of the current 395 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: Iranian protests and the Maduro toppling and extraction, because there 396 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: was another brand new poll from the same polster, CBS News, 397 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: a brand new poll that just came out on Wednesday 398 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: from CBS News. So the question is, do you approve 399 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: disapprove of the US action removing extracting Nicolas Mudua and 400 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: his wife from Krakas, Venezuela. MAGA Republicans get this ninety 401 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: seven percent approval, literally an even higher approval than the 402 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: bombing of the Irani nuclear facilities last June. So you know, 403 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: I mean, there's all this drama, all this drama online, 404 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: and those of you who follow the online discourse closely 405 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: you know that, for better or worse, I have oftentimes 406 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: been at the center or near the center of much 407 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: of this drama in recent months, especially since the horrific 408 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: assassination of my friend and our Kyle Goods sale Le 409 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: Media Charlie Kirk. But I look at things like this 410 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: conversation a few nights ago between Tucker Carlson and Making Kelly, 411 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: where they're condemning the Maduro operation. 412 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 2: Billy, you're speaking for the three percent. 413 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna pound your chest and say I'm MAGA while 414 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: speaking of behalf of the literal three percent of people 415 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: according to the CBS News poll who are pro Maduro MAGA. 416 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: It just doesn't quite make sense. And you know, in 417 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: line with this notion, this notion contrary to all the 418 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: online misinformation, this notion that MAGA as a matter of doctors, 419 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: a matter of principle, and as a matter of what 420 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: the actual MAGA voters believe, this notion that MAGA does 421 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: support a slightly more robust internationalism. That's not to confuse 422 00:24:53,040 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: it with Swashbucklington Bush era neo consertism. No one is 423 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: trying here to resuscitate the era of Dick Cheney and 424 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: Donald Rumsfeldt. No One Team America, World Police, liberate the 425 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: world the name of democracy. 426 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 3: No. 427 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump clearly is not the kind of guy 428 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: who buries his head in the sand like an Ostrich 429 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: and just has no interest in the rest of the 430 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: world around him. And you know what's interesting is his 431 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: own vice president, Jade Vance. There's something of a Beltway 432 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: centric conversation happening right now between the perceived may not 433 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: be able, the perceived tension between the Vice President Jade 434 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: Vance and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio 435 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: is really having a moment. He's the Secretary of State, 436 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: he's a national security advisor. He's pulling off this Henry 437 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: Kissinger esque bouncing of these two very important roles. I'm 438 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: sure you've seen the memes online. Rubio is going to 439 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: be this. He's going to be that. He recently was 440 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: joking that he's not going to become the head coach 441 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins in his hometown of Miami, Florida. 442 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: So Rubio is really heavy own and he was correctly 443 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: seen as the real driver of the administration's policy in Venezuela. 444 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: Well JD Vance, who unfortunately, from my vantage point, has 445 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: failed to do anything to himself from Tucker Carlson, Jadvans, 446 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: who is known to have not full on isolationists, but 447 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: slightly different foreign policy instincts, at least from Mark or Rubio. 448 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: There's something of a perceived tension between them, and a 449 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: lot of the folks were saying, oh, why wasn't Jada 450 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: Vance at Mara Lago during the Operation your mileage may 451 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 1: vary as to all that. We're not going to get 452 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: into it right now on this show. I say all 453 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: that because even Jade Vance, who comes from that wing 454 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: of the movement, or at least is closer to that 455 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: way in the movement. Even he wrote Bussy supports another 456 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: Western Hemisphere Trump Forum policy initiative, which is the attempted 457 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: purchase or annexation of Greenland. He was Vice President Jady 458 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: Vance talking about this on Fox News. 459 00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: The President is. 460 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 6: Going to make the ultimate determination here, but there's been 461 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 6: a lot of belly aching from Europe, and Europe has 462 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 6: failed to contend with the fundamental argument the President and 463 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 6: the entire administration has made Greenland is critical not just 464 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 6: to our national security, but to the world's national security. 465 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: People don't realize this. 466 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 6: The entire missile defense infrastructure is partially dependent on Greenland. 467 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 6: If God forbid, the Russians are the Chinese not saying 468 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 6: they're going to but if God forbid in the future, 469 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 6: somebody launched a nuclear missile into our continent. They launched 470 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 6: a nuclear missile at Europe. Greenland is a critical part 471 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 6: of that missile defense. So you ask yourself, have the 472 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 6: Europeans have the Danes done a proper job of securing 473 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 6: Greenland and making sure it can continue to serve as 474 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 6: an anchor for world security and missile defense? 475 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: And the answer is obviously they have it. Okay. 476 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: So the point is that even the Vice President, who's 477 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: still buddy Buddy Wodtark Carlson, even he agrees clearly as 478 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: you've seen it in his voice there with this interest 479 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: in Greenland. Truld Be told those of you with a 480 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: long enough memory, you'll recall that it was actually during 481 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: the first Trump administration that these rumors first started speculating, 482 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: as in the final year or two of the first 483 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: Trump term that at first kind of simmered to the 484 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: surface that Donald Trump was interested potentially in trying to 485 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: make an offer to Denmark for Greenland. Tom Cotton, the 486 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 1: Center from Arkansaw wrote an op ed for The New 487 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: York Times August twenty six, twenty nineteen, title this op ed, 488 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: we should Buy Greenland. The opbed began as follows. 489 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 2: Quote. 490 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: After news leaked last week that President Trump had expressed 491 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark, his critics predictably derided 492 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: him as a crazy But once again, the president is crazy. 493 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 2: Like a fox. 494 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: The apposition of Greenland would secure vital strategic interest for 495 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: the United States, economically benefit both US and Greenlanders, and 496 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: would be in keeping with American and Danish diplomatic relations. 497 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: Strategically positioned in the Arctic Circle, Greenland has long attracted 498 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: the attention of American policymakers. As far back as eighteen 499 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: sixty seven, Secretary of State William Seward explored the acquisition 500 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: of Greenland's around the time that he negotiated the purchase 501 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: of Alaska from the Russians. In nineteen forty six, the 502 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: Truman administration offered one hundred million dollars to Denmark to 503 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: acquire Greenland's. By the time, President Truman argued that Greenland 504 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: was quote indispensable to the safety of the United States 505 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: at the time in the context of the growing Soviet 506 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: threat there in World War Two. I bet you didn't 507 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: know that Harry Truman, Harry Truman, the Democrat, Harry Truman 508 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: offered one hundred million buckaroos to the Danes for Greenland. 509 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: So all the corporate media now is saying, oh my god, 510 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is crazy. I mean, can you look at 511 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: the history, can you look at the history there William Seward. 512 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: Seward's folly, that's what That's what they call it. His 513 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: purchase of Alaska, by the way, an amazing purchase. He 514 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: thought about this shortly after Abraham lincoln assassination in eighteen 515 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: sixty seven. Harry Truman, just after we defeated Imperial Japan 516 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: and Nazi Germany, made an offer. 517 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: To the Danes. This is not crazy at all what 518 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is doing. 519 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: Would it be crazy to actually militarily invade, given that 520 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: Denmark the nominal notional control of Greenland, then that they 521 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 1: are Anito country. 522 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: Sure, but it's not gonna happen. 523 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: This tough talk, this bluster, this braggadoe show, this quintessential 524 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: Trumpy and brogado show that you're hearing right now. It's 525 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: an opening gambit, folks. It's the art of the deal 526 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: one oh one. You start off talking more aggressively, Ultimately 527 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: you're willing to settle for something less. 528 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: Now, is it? 529 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: The nicest thing in the world? Does make everyone feel happy? 530 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: Jolly that we're talking about annexing a European territory? Maybe not, 531 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: to which I say, who cares? The United States has 532 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: such a long, long history when it comes to territorial 533 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: purchases and acquisitions. Louisiana purchase is the most prominent of 534 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: them all, but there's more than like a possible count 535 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: the Gadsden purchase from Mexico, any number of other islands 536 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: in the Pacific, Puerto Rico by treaty, briefly, the Philippines, 537 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: and on and on and on we go. There is 538 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: a long history of the US purchasing an acquiring territor 539 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: by various means. Greenland fits neatly into that puzzle. The 540 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: Arctic is, indeed, as tom Con and jade Vans both argue, 541 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: a crucial, crucial part of the world for global security 542 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to Russia and China, we should have 543 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: more assets there in the Arctic and Canada. Given their 544 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: current leadership, maybe you can't always trust them. It'll be 545 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: great if we had our own Arctic footprints and bigger 546 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: than just Alaska. That means Greenland. President Trump is right 547 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: on Greenland. I wish nothing the best in his pursuits 548 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: of acquiring that island. We'll be right back. Welcome back, 549 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: especially welcome back to those of you currently watching on 550 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: the Sale News Channel. This is our first week on 551 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: Salem News Channel. We are just delighted, thrilled, and honored 552 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: to be in the ten pm weeknight primetime slot here 553 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: on the Salem News Channel. So, if you're new to 554 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: the program, whether you're watching or listening all across the 555 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: Salem Podcast network, watching on Newsweek's YouTube page, or elsewhere, 556 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: perhaps you don't know as much about my backgrounds. You 557 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: might not know that among the things that I am 558 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: is a lawyer by background. I'm still senior counsel at 559 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: the Article three Project. You can check us out at 560 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: Article three project dot org. We fight for President Trump's 561 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: conservative judicial nominees, we fight against lawfare, and we fight 562 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: for the rule of law. More generally, the topic of 563 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: tonight's opening monologue, well, that's to say that I follow 564 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: U Supreme Court and federal litigation very closely. There are 565 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: any number of big cases that we are still expecting 566 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: this term. So the question as to when exactly these 567 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: cases will ultimately be decided. There's a case out of 568 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: Colorado on whether or not a ban on on so 569 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: called conversion therapy when it comes to homosexual inclinent youth 570 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: and teenagers, whether or not that it's constitutionally permissible. There 571 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: is the birthright relationship case, a tremendous case. We will 572 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: get into a greater detail yet again around the time 573 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: that that case comes out, there's the case on Donald 574 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: Trump's tariffs, his sweeping reciprocal tariff policy, which he is 575 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: enacting unilaterally under a late nineteen seventies Jimmy Carter era 576 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: emergency statute. It's a very interesting statutory debate as to 577 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: whether or not this statue provides administration with the ability 578 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: to do this unilaterally. Apps into additional congressional legislation. There's 579 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: fascinating stuff when it comes to the Voting Rights Act 580 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: and this whole notion of so called majority minority congressional districts. 581 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: One of the only times that you're actually allowed to 582 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: use race as comes in this really arcane and deeply 583 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: problematic area of Voting Rights Act of nineteen sixty five litigation. 584 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: That's the case, actually 'um expecting cautiously a very sound result. 585 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 2: That's about the case as well. 586 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: When it comes to the notion of so called independent agencies. 587 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: This is the Slaughter case. This is a case that 588 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: will determine hopefully whether or not such so called independent 589 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: agencies as the FTC, the FCC, and similar organizations whether 590 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: or not they are constitutional. The short answer is they're not. 591 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: You're either in an Article one the Congress, you're an 592 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: Article two to the executive branch, you're in an Article 593 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: three the judiciary, or you're out of here. There's only 594 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: three doors. There's no fourth door. That case has tremendous potential, 595 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: tremendous potential to reshape the unaccountable bureaucracy, the fourth state. 596 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: So Theupreme Court announced a decision day earlier, say, on 597 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: a fri January ninth, and there were all sorts of 598 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: possible indications that maybe they would get into one of 599 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: these higher level cases. There's a lot of chatter, at 600 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: least in my lawyer circles, so whether or not they 601 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: might decide the tariff case. A tariff case. Recall, there's 602 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: a lot of business. There are billions, maybe even trillions 603 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: of dollars of business that are awaiting shorty some sort 604 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: of firm a guidance on the tariffs before they make 605 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: investment decisions or importation or export decisions. So a lot 606 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 1: of folks thought that they would release that opainting today. 607 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: Some folks thought that that Voting Rights Act Racial Redistion 608 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: case Mike Mounth Today, it turns out that only one 609 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: opinion was actually released earlier today, a somewhat more obscure 610 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: case called a bo versus the United States. We're not 611 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: going to get into the details too much here. It 612 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: basically involves a statute called the Hobbes Act. The Hobbes 613 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: Acts was a statute that is enacted in nineteen forty 614 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: six that makes it a crime to commit, attempt to commit, 615 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: or conspire to commit robbery, attempted robbery, or extortion across 616 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: state lines. Again, the details here are not worthing into, 617 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: but suffice to say there are going to be many 618 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: big cases upcoming at the Supreme Court. We're actually getting 619 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: ready now for a huge day at the Supreme Court 620 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: this Tuesday. This coming Tuesday, the Justice will hear or 621 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: arguments in two combined consolidated transgender related cases. Well, the 622 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: justices do is when you have very similar fact patterns, 623 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: similar cases, they oftentimes then consolidate, trying to then save 624 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: resources for purposes of judicial economy and thereby give a 625 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: ruling that will bind not just one state when it 626 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: comes to one law, but ideally multiple states when it 627 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: comes to multiple laws. So the two cases that are 628 00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: coming this Tuesday are titled Little the Cox and West 629 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: Virginia versus b p J. 630 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 4: So. 631 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,280 Speaker 1: One challenger is a twenty four year old quote unquote 632 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: transgender woman, which means that it's a biological man, and 633 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: another is his fifteen year old high school student, who 634 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 1: again identifies as female, but again is also a biological man. 635 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: The question in both instances. In both instances here, which 636 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: come out of the states of Idaho and West Virginia, 637 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: is whether or not these states bans on biological males 638 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: competing in women's sports, whether or not this is legal, 639 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: or whether it violates Title nine. I can't help but 640 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: smile a little bit because I find this debate simply preposterous. 641 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: Title nine was an amendment to these Civil Rights Act 642 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: that was fought for by feminists, by the second wave 643 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: femine of the late nineteen sixties early nineteen seventies. It 644 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: was fought for by the great female athletic champions of 645 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: the day, thing of people like Billy Jing King, the 646 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: tennis player. 647 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,919 Speaker 2: Now Title nine has been weaponized, to be sure. 648 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why when it comes to 649 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,439 Speaker 1: the NCAA and college athletics, say a university cannot have 650 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 1: more male teams than female teams. There's been all swords 651 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 1: of ways that it's been distorted and weaponized, but Title nine, 652 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: at its core. 653 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 4: Is a. 654 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: Law that prevents a university from engaging in sex discrimination. Again, 655 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: the interpretation has been botched, but fundamentally it's a noble law. 656 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: Sex discrimination is wrong. And I find this whole army 657 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: preposterous because the transgender lobby and the plaintiffs, those who 658 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,720 Speaker 1: are bringing suit against these Idaho and West Virginia laws, 659 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: these cases that will be consolidding to argue this Tuesday, 660 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: are basically arguing that this law, Title nine, that was 661 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: passed to prevent sex discrimination, well, actually what it actually 662 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: means is that it mandates sex discrimination. That's what they're arguing. 663 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: Trust me, the lawyers will not frame it that way. Okay, 664 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're not gonna phrase that way in court 665 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: because they'll be conceding that their case stinks and it's garbage. 666 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: But that's actually what they're arguing. If it is permissible, indeed, 667 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: perhaps if it is required that biological males compete against 668 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: biological females in athletic competition, then you are obliterating the 669 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: distinction between sexes. In that case, sex discrimination is not 670 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: merely not verbodin, it's required, it's mandatory, you have to 671 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: have it. The good news is that I think this 672 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: court is going to do the right thing when it 673 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: comes to these cases. There is be recent ish precedents 674 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: of this past term. This past summer twenty twenty five, 675 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 1: the Scrimetti case out of Tennessee. So in US versus Scrimmetti, 676 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: the court held that Tennessee's ban on genital mutilation and 677 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: chemical castration aka puberty blockers hormone therapy, that they're banned 678 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: on these horrific pseudo treatments and the name of or 679 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: really u quote unquote treangender medicine. The court held that 680 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee's ban on that was okay. This is an idiological six' 681 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: three split of the, court with Even John roberts and 682 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: the various other centrist conservatives joined the. Majority so if 683 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: pass is, prologue and in this CASE i actually think 684 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: it might, be it seems to me like The court 685 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: is likely going to do the right. Thing, unfortunately sometimes 686 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: you never. Know Neil, gorsage after, all one of the 687 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: First trump terms Nominees Neil gorsage did give us the 688 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: stink bomb opinion Of, bostock a case in twenty twenty 689 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: that unfortunately red transgenderism into a different part of The 690 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: Civil Rights act in that. Context in that case it 691 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: Was title, seven Not title. Nine so it is not 692 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: outside of the real possibility that the side of civilizational, 693 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: sanity of common sense and basic human deseasey. LOSES i 694 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: think we will, win but you never know until it's, over. 695 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: Folks when The founders found this country and they wrote 696 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,760 Speaker 1: about how we hold these truths to be self, evident 697 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: one of the things that is most self evident of 698 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: all is that sexual dimorphism is, real male and. Female 699 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: he created. Them It's genesis, one twenty. Seven this case 700 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: is really not any more complicated than. That that's what 701 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: it's about at its. Core god will in justice do 702 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,919 Speaker 1: the right. Thing AS i, SAID i think they.
