It is 25 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: July twenty third, twenty twenty six. I'm at the remote 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: y Refic Studios. Blake is holding it down in Phoenix. 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: That were doing, Blake, I'm doing great because I'm at. 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: The real y Refic studio with. 29 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: You got my mic flag? You got my mic flag? 30 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: It's no, no, listen, it's on my microphone. Well, let's 31 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: not quibble over the details here, Blake. We actually got 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: things pasted in the House yesterday. But of course, because 33 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: it's DC, because this is America, I can't be without controversy. 34 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: And I am, of course referencing the new bill, the 35 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: Stop Insider Trading Act. Now, this was something that President 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: Trump had floated at the State of Union. Massive applause, 37 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: massive populist energy behind things like this. It is very 38 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 2: clear the American people do not want Congress trading based 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: on insider info, based on where the government's going to 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: be spending money, where regulations are going, what's coming out 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: of committee. We do not want them using that information 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: to then enrich themselves. And a lot of people all 43 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: eyes were on Nancy Pelosi of course she voted against this. 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 2: But the controversy here, Blake, is that House Republicans attached 45 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: aspects of the Save America Act requiring voter ID on 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: federal elections to this. So critics are calling this a 47 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: trojan horse, they're calling it a partisan sham. My question is, 48 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: why wouldn't you just vote for both because both are 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: very common sense pieces of legislation. Nevertheless, it does pass, 50 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: and I think this is a positive step in the 51 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 2: right direction. Is it everything I want bill to be? No? 52 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: I actually think there were stronger versions of this bill, 53 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: but first reaction to it getting passed. Then we'll go 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,559 Speaker 2: through some of the specifics here, Blake, Well. 55 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 4: I just what I would say is I've been around 56 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 4: the block on this and I don't think Republicans are 57 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 4: going to get any kudos if they can't get a 58 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 4: Senate to pass these things, and if they can pass 59 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: a ban on stock trading, if they can pass pieces 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 4: of the Save Act, both things they can do if 61 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: they get rid of the filibuster to do it. You know, 62 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 4: you could call it. You call it stop and save. 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 4: It sounds like a gas station, so you have you 64 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: pass stop, you pass save, you lower gas prices, and 65 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 4: that would be a pretty good message for the midterms. 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 4: But they've got to actually pass it, and I'm worried. 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: I am worried. The critics are. 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: Right that they attached the Save Act stuff so they 69 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: can make the bill sound more good for red meat conservatives, 70 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 4: and then they also know it will not pass out 71 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: of the Senate. 72 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: And it weans me to say that. 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: Only because we've been around the block all year on this, 74 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 4: and I guess here's my reaction. Yeah, My warning two 75 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: Republicans is this that if they managed to talk about 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 4: the Save Act all year, all of twenty twenty six 77 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 4: and then not pass it, they're gonna get whacked in 78 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 4: the midterms. And they'll deserve to get whacked in the midterms. 79 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: I don't disagree. I don't disagree, but here's so there 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: is a difference of opinion here. I've been texting and 81 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: calling all of my contacts in the Senate. It feels 82 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: very divided. There are glass half foles guys that are 83 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: saying this will pass the bird bath, which is again 84 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: the parliamentary rules of the Senate how you can pass 85 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: certain things through you know, a fifty vote threshold, as 86 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: opposed to a sixty vote threshold. Reconciliation is the process 87 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: that that's called. So we'll see some think it won't, 88 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: some think it will. I'm hearing both sides of that. 89 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: So I choose to be an optimist today, Blake, because 90 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: they actually moved something through that is common sense that 91 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: the American people want. Will. I was in the room, 92 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: Blake during the State of the Union when President Trump 93 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: first floated this idea, and I tell you that the 94 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: energy and the exuberance and the clapping, the applause for 95 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: that moment was huge. Then we got all distracted with 96 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: Iran and people forget about that moment. But coming off 97 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: the State of the Union was a huge, huge, populous, domestic, 98 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: wonderful vibe shift that we desperately needed in this country. 99 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: And this was one of the key pillars. Why do 100 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: I say that because we have populist energy, You got 101 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: to give the people some of these things in order 102 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: to get excited to come out for the midterms. Okay, 103 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: this is one of them. Let's talk about what the 104 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: bill does and what it doesn't do. The bill bans 105 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: purchasing covered investments, so that would be stocks of publicly 106 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: traded companies and comparable derivatives, so it bans the purchase. 107 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: It does not ban selling investments, so you can sell it, right, 108 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: you can sell it if you're already holding it. It 109 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: requires seven to fourteen days public notice before a sale. Okay, 110 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: that's a good thing, right. I think this is actually 111 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: a common sense compromise. Applies to members, spouses, and dependent children, 112 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: so you can't just like give the stocks to your 113 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: kids and then have them do your bidding. But no, no, no, 114 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: that doesn't work. It imposes fees for violations force sale 115 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: of improperly purchased stock, so if you do it wrong, 116 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: they're gonna make you sell it. Okay, So you don't 117 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 2: get to have all those and they're gonna impose certain fees. 118 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: It excludes certain funds, so you can still trade mutual funds, 119 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: all of those types of things, ETFs that just basically 120 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: follow the larger indexes it. So all of those things 121 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: I think are really good. These are common sense measures 122 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: that we've all sort of been wondering. Why haven't they 123 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: been in place since now Again, I'll just say there 124 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: was certain acts in the past, Blake. There was the 125 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: Ethics Acts or the Honest Act, which aim for full 126 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: bands on holding trading individual stocks with the divestment requirements 127 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: and coverage, so that doesn't happen, but it does build 128 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: on the twenty twelve Stock Act. So these are positive 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: steps in the right direction. But you're absolutely one accurate here. 130 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: The proof is in the pudding. The rubber meets the road. 131 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: In the US Senate, the question then becomes can we 132 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: get this through the parliamentarian? That is the question. Trump 133 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: is called to fire the parliamentarian. It's a Democrat, at 134 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: least that's what they said. I actually think that that's 135 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: not the right, proper, proper course ahead. What we need 136 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: to do is we need to do with Senate Senator 137 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: Mike Lee has been proposing, which is the talking filibuster. 138 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: Make these people stay in DC, no August recess, none 139 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: of this garbage. Do the work of the American people. 140 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: Make them outlast. You make them put their name on 141 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: the record say yeah or nay to this stuff, because 142 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: I think if they say if they vote know, then 143 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: the egg is on their face and that can only help. 144 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: That just needs to be needs. 145 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 4: To be the Republican approach on a lot of things. 146 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: Every bill we get up seems to be an omnib 147 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 4: us bill on everything, and so they don't make Democrats 148 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: vote up or down on things that could conceivably be 149 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 4: unpopular for Democrats to vote against. 150 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: I think about that a lot. 151 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 4: On the border, there's so many aspects of border security 152 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: of immigration that would are basically insane, And so you 153 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 4: could introduce a single subject bill to roll that back. 154 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: You can ram it through faster to force them to 155 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: get votes on it. And I just don't know why 156 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 4: Congress fails to do these things. And you could do 157 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 4: it on this Stock Act too. Just more people want 158 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 4: to see a Congress that feels like it's doing things. 159 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: And the way they feel like Congress is doing things 160 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: is not by holding hearings, it's not by holding press conferences. 161 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: The way they feel like Congress is doing things is 162 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 4: that they are voting on and passing stuff. And I 163 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 4: just often wonder what's going on with these guys. They 164 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 4: aren't even confirming Trump nominees as quickly as they could. 165 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 4: Here's the plan. If you want to win as a Republican, 166 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 4: the plan you should have is zero vacancies. You should 167 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 4: get to election day, midterm day with zero vacancies on 168 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: any position that Trump can make an appointment to all 169 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 4: of those people should be confirmed. Yeah, if you do that, 170 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 4: if you have go like I said, the Stop and 171 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: Save gas station, if you have Stop Act passed, so 172 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 4: that they can say we're doing something populist. We're not 173 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 4: enriching ourselves on insider trading, which is illegal for you, 174 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: but it's been legal for us for ages. If you 175 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 4: ban that, and if you pass the Save Act, and 176 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 4: you know, if gas prices get lower because of Iran, 177 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: we'll talk about that up ahead. 178 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: You have a good message, you can win the election. 179 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I totally agree. And again, one of the 180 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: issues in this election is going to be the economy affordability. 181 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: If you pass this, it's a huge symbolic victory that 182 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: the elites, the oligarchs, they don't get to enrich themselves 183 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 2: and put themselves ahead of the American people. That's why 184 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: I think this is so important. It's an important scalp 185 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: to win heading into the midterms. All Right, I'm so 186 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 2: decided to share with you guys. C fifteen from fatty fifteen, 187 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: the first emerging essential fatty acid to be discovered in 188 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 2: more than ninety years. It's an incredible scientific breakthrough to 189 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 2: support our long term health and wellness, and you guessed it, 190 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: healthy aging. Fatty fifteen co founder doctor Stephanie Van Watson 191 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: discovered the benefits of C fifteen while working with the 192 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: US Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of 193 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: older dolphins. Believe it or not. Based on over one 194 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: hundred studies, we now know that C fifteen strengthens our 195 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 2: cells and is a foundational healthy aging nutrient which helps 196 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: to slow aging at the cellular level. In fact, when 197 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: our cells don't have enough C fifteen, they can become 198 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: fragile in age faster, and when our cells age, our 199 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: bodies age two. This eventually led to studies finding the 200 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: first new nutritional deficiency to emerge in seventy five years, 201 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: called cellular fragility syndrome, caused by a lack of the 202 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: C fifteen. As many as one in three people worldwide 203 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: may have low C fifteen level and fragile cells. To 204 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: help support and optimize healthy aging, a team of doctors 205 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: funded by the US Navy spent over a decade to 206 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 2: develop the pure, science backed and bioavailable C fifteen zero 207 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: ingredient in Fatty fifteen. Thankfully, Fatty fifteen repairs age related 208 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: damage to cells, protects them from breakdown, and activates pathways 209 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 2: in the body that help regulate our sleep, our cognitive health, 210 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: and metabolism. This functionality leads to so many other exciting 211 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 2: benefits now and as you get older. In fact, seventy 212 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: percent of Fatty fifteen customers report seeing or feeling benefits 213 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: within sixteen weeks, including deeper sleep, calmer moods, better energy, 214 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: and overall improved health. Now that's essential. We're all aging, 215 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: which means that healthy aging starts from birth. Studies have 216 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: shown that C fifteen is a foundational nutrient that supports 217 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: healthy growth and development in children and supports our long 218 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: term health as adults. Fatty fifteen has three times more 219 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 2: cellular benefits than EPA and OMEGA three. By replenishing our 220 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: cells with the crucial CE fifteen nutrient, Fatty fifth teen 221 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: effectively repairs cells, reversus aging related damage and at the 222 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: cellular level, and restores our long term health and wellness. 223 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: Fatty fifteen was developed in support of healthy aging for all, 224 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 2: from kids to parents to grandparents.

I just 232 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: saw this video. It's kind of related. It's not related 233 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: to anything, but if I saw it now, you guys 234 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 2: have to see it. Blake, I know you're a lifter. 235 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: You're a weightlifter. There's a lot of female sports news 236 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: going on. Oh is this Paris twenty twenty four? I 237 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: had no idea. I've never seen. 238 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's the It is the 239 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 4: Paralympics at least, so they're probably a little more easy going. 240 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 4: But you see the argument in the notes, you know, just. 241 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: Make me feel bad. You just I didn't know all this. 242 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 2: When I was laughing so hard about this in the break, 243 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: somebody said me this. We're gonna play it because I 244 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: think it's the perfect example of the Senate GOP. This 245 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: is a living embodiment of the Senate GOP. And then 246 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 2: they kick off for vacation. You'll see what I mean. 247 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: Top fifteen. 248 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 5: She's getting for one hundred and forty five kilas on 249 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 5: this occasion. 250 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: To solidify that position on the alloah. 251 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 6: Start. 252 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: I didn't know as the Paralympics, just to be just 253 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: to be clear. 254 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: All right, it's all right, there's there's Like I said, 255 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: they're debating in the notes other athletes at the Paralympics, 256 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 4: we're completing more full reps. For those of you who 257 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 4: couldn't see it, that was a woman out of powerlifting 258 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 4: competition and I'm not even sure her elbows. She's doing 259 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 4: the bench press and I think I think the bar 260 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 4: literally moves about one inch and it counts as a rep. 261 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 3: That definitely stands for me, that. 262 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: Is the GOP. Yeah, that is the GOP. In the Senate, 263 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: they think they get a whole month off if they 264 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: just you know, don't bend their elbows and then they 265 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: scream like they've done something great. Okay, I just we 266 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: just had to go over that. Here's what's really going 267 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: on here, though, And I want to get into this 268 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: because this now is becoming another front in this battle 269 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: for the Save America Act, which we all agree is 270 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: super important. But let's just hear the Democrats in their 271 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: own words. Okay. A journalist went and approached Pocahontas Senator 272 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren and asked about the fact that we now 273 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: have prooved I mean, there's definitely far far. This is 274 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: the tiniest tip of the iceberg. But now we have 275 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: proof out of New Jersey with the scandal unfolding where 276 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: we found out there is six six hundred non citizens 277 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: who are found on their voter rules. That number is 278 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: actually higher now it's five x higher that we've confirmed. 279 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: But Senator Elizabeth Warren is now asked about it because 280 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: there's proof some of them voted top fourteen. 281 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 7: Oh hi, just a quick question for you. 282 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 8: I know you're vehemently a post in Save America, but 283 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 8: does the recent revelation in New Jersey with the aliens 284 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 8: who are actually registered to vote change your opinion on 285 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 8: getting that legislation power. 286 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 9: It is already illegal for someone who's not an American 287 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 9: citizen to vote, period. 288 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 10: That's at least four hundred aliens that did that. 289 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 9: There are already laws to prevent that. People have violated 290 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 9: the law and they should be prosecuted. 291 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 10: Do you see anything's actually going to happen. 292 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 3: I thought Democrats always said that there's no evidence of that. 293 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 9: I don't understand why you want laws that are already there. 294 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 3: That makes me no sense. 295 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 2: But that's a complete straw man argument. It's the honor system. 296 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: And by the way, in nineteen States, did you know, Blake, 297 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: In nineteen States, they have the automatic DMV voter roll right, 298 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: the motor voter rule. And in those nineteen states, illegal 299 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 2: aliens and non citizens get driver's license, so you basically 300 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: have to go in and do an extra step to 301 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: make sure you don't get put on the voter roles. 302 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: It's it's that big of an issue, and it's all 303 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: on the honor code because the law says you cannot 304 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: check the ID during voter rege. Such a huge issue. 305 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: Jake Tapper is dropping just pearls of wisdom here on 306 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: CNN St. Nine. 307 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 7: You're in the country illegally and you get a letter 308 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 7: saying that you can vote, and you know you're not 309 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 7: supposed to Not only you're not supposed to vote, you're 310 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 7: not supposed to be there. 311 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: Why do you vote? 312 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: Like? 313 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: I mean, you could register for a party, some of that. 314 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 7: I mean, but I just like wonder, like that's some 315 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 7: stupid business. 316 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: I mean, it gets it gets out what we've talked about, 317 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 4: which is it's about the decentralization of everything. Is that 318 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 4: I think part of what's going on the Democrats, they 319 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: love the idea make it super automatic that these people 320 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 4: will register. That a lot of these people could you 321 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: could practically accidentally register to vote and end up I 322 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 4: don't want to say accidentally voting, but you can imagine 323 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 4: these people getting rushed along voting for something not really 324 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 4: maybe grasping the full consequences of it. And they make 325 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 4: it so easy throughout the process that it's not like 326 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: you even need to send an operative to illegally solicit 327 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 4: their vote. You just make it so they're automatically registered. 328 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 4: You tell people to vote, you offer to drive them 329 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 4: to the polls, you offer to provide an interpreter. And 330 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 4: if people illegally vote along the way without having to 331 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 4: be told to, oh, that's so much the better. They're 332 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 4: going to vote the way we want them to. And 333 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 4: a few dozen votes there, a few hundred votes here 334 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 4: that can get you extra wins along the way, and 335 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 4: it's just like mailing all the ballots to everybody. You 336 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: make it a decentralized process that nobody has to go 337 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: to jail for, even if it's super illegal, super flagrant 338 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 4: what they're doing. 339 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it just imagine just the logic that these people 340 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 2: are using. They've heard the details now, and Trump did 341 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 2: that whole press conference, a primetime address where we found 342 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: out there's over a quarter of a million in just 343 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: a handful of states they're on the voter rules. In 344 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: New Jersey we find out it's over thirty five thousand actually, 345 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: and many of them did vote, so the numbers higher 346 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: than six thousand, six hundred. We have that Trump truth 347 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 2: that confirms at and they don't care. They laugh at 348 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: it because they say nobody's gonna do this. Well, actually, 349 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: we have proof that people do it what we already have. 350 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 2: It's already illegal. Yeah, well it's on the honor system. Yeah, 351 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 2: but it's going to make it harder for Democrats to vote. 352 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: So how if you say they aren't doing it well 353 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: because you know black people and you know married women, 354 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: that doesn't make any sense. Oh, you're a racist. That's 355 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 2: how this debate is going. Fine, if they want to 356 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 2: go with that line of reasoning, make them do it 357 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: from the Senate floor and put their name on it. 358 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: Colorado is at it again, trying to silence free speech 359 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: because that's what they do. In Colorado, a state law 360 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 2: forces big businesses to refer to some customers with inaccurate pronouns, 361 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: even if using them would violate the business owners religious 362 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: beliefs or conscience. That's a violation of free speech. But 363 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 2: as Colorado has proved time and again, it has little 364 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 2: concern for the First Amendment. At Alliance Defending Freedom, they're 365 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: challenging the law on behalf of a Christian bookstore and 366 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: a sports apparel company. But a court recently ruled against them, 367 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: which is a huge, huge problem. With eightf's help, they've 368 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 2: appealed and they'll continue fighting to ensure Colorado doesn't get 369 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 2: away with this attempt to skirt the First Amendment.

But the Iran conflict has continued to stop 383 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 4: and start and stop and start and have. 384 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 3: Ceasefires and then not have ceasefires, and. 385 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 4: It looks like we're grinding back towards the direction of 386 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 4: a showdown with the Islamic Republic. So we have a 387 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 4: new guest on to talk about that. He's a former 388 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 4: Navy EO D officer that is explosive ordinance disposal, highly 389 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 4: relevant to this conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. Tom Sour, 390 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: former Navy lieutenant commander. He's joining us now, Tom, give 391 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: us the big picture here, what is the current strategic 392 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 4: situation with the US versus Iran. I'll be honest as 393 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 4: a it's weird to say casual observer, but it feels 394 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 4: like we've been in this status point. This is like 395 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: the same thing has been had happening for months on end. 396 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 4: Have things been changing in the background. 397 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, hey, and thanks for having me, guys, huge honour 398 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 11: to be on here. 399 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 400 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 11: I got to say that I can understand why a 401 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 11: lot of people feel like this is meant to be 402 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 11: you know, we're just in this stalemate. But I really 403 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 11: don't think that's the case. 404 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 2: If you consider the. 405 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 11: Fact that Iran now has virtually zero power projection right 406 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 11: now outside towards its neighbors, aside from perhaps molesting shipping 407 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 11: traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which is continuing to 408 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 11: be less and less in being diminished day by day. 409 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 11: You're now also seeing the strangulation again of the blockcade 410 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 11: against Iran, which is gonna you know, that's not meant 411 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 11: to just squeeze if I'm gonna squeeze the people per se, 412 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 11: it's also meant to squee to squeeze the infrastructure, the 413 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 11: actual power structure of the Iranian leadership. So you know, look, 414 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 11: a lot of people are very anxious about this in 415 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 11: terms of like, does this mean we're going to go 416 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 11: take carg Island. I think that there are options on 417 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 11: the table out there that do not involve any sort 418 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 11: of a forever war or something like Iraq or Vietnam. 419 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 11: I'm not seeing anything like that. But also I think 420 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 11: it's important to point out that Iran's strategy here. If 421 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 11: I were the Iranians, I would probably follow the following strategy. 422 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 11: And frankly, I hate to be the one to say it, 423 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 11: but it's the same strategy that the Democrats have. And 424 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 11: what I mean by that is that Iran wants to 425 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 11: play this out, drag. 426 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: It out as long as possible. 427 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 11: Shoot stop say you know, they'll get get beat up 428 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 11: a little bit more, they'll say they want to talk. 429 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 11: Then they're going to say that we can't control some 430 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 11: of the military commanders in our provinces. They're going to 431 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 11: lash out again, go back and forth, and with their 432 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 11: goal is to drive up prices, right, you know, particularly 433 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 11: of oil, which you know, as we all know, translates 434 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 11: to prices everywhere else going up. Their goal is to 435 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 11: keep those prices up, keep this dragging out, which obviously 436 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 11: won't necessary politically bode well for President Trump in the 437 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 11: midterm elections. 438 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 10: And their goal is to have you. 439 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 11: Know, a loss of the House and or the Senate 440 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 11: in November, and then once the and then you know, 441 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 11: once the Democrats were to take power in Congress, their 442 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 11: goal is that the funding would get cut and we 443 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 11: would be forced with some situation where we have to 444 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 11: start leaving around alone. So that's what I mean when 445 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 11: I say that the IRGC, the UH you know Hamas, 446 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 11: Hezbollah who are funded and supported by them, and the 447 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 11: Democrat Party all have the same goal right now. 448 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 10: And I know that sounds a. 449 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 11: Little overly partisan, but it's just objectively true. 450 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's actually right. I think we've 451 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: all gathered that their ability to project strong military power 452 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: at this point is greatly diminished. I sort of was curious, how, 453 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: you know, the remains tom a bunch of these military 454 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 2: sites yet to hit, because that's what we're hearing. We're 455 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: hitting their radar, we're hitting their missiles, we're hitting their drones. 456 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 2: I was under the impression that we had destroyed more 457 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: of those, so I'm surprised that there are still so 458 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: many targets left to hit. Nevertheless, that's we're doing. I 459 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 2: want to play some clips here from Marco Rubio, who's 460 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: kind of going viral this morning, and then I'm hoping 461 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: you can take us inside the decision making structure, inside 462 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: the White House. Who are the players and what are 463 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: they What kind of positioning do they want? Right? Is 464 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 2: JD still advancing the piece? Is Rubio somewhere in the middle? 465 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: Does heg seth want to go really hard? We'll play 466 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: this really quick, sot to. 467 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 6: I saw you know, guys, I saw a Rachi, their 468 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 6: foreign minister, who the other day say or something about 469 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 6: their policies, and I for an eye. The president's policy 470 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 6: is ahead for an eye. I mean, honestly, that's what 471 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 6: it's going to be. I mean, they will pay a 472 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 6: very heavy price for the things they're doing. They're already 473 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 6: paying a very heavy price. You guys don't know it 474 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 6: because you don't cover it. You're not in Iran, you're 475 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 6: not in the street. They don't have a free media. 476 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 6: But they're going to continue to pay a very heavy price. 477 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: Goes on. And this is something called that I've been 478 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 2: texting with a bunch of people the last week, and 479 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 2: I've heard this phrase come up a number of times. 480 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: Is shia bravado. That's what they call it, Shia bravado. 481 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 2: He kind of references it here at tot seven. 482 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 6: And these people do a deal, they either break it 483 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 6: or after they make it. They want to change the deal, 484 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 6: So they're probably not ready to do a deal yet, 485 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 6: but they will be soon because the price they're paying 486 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 6: is very high. Despite their tough talk and their flowery 487 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 6: language and their stupid lego videos they put out. I've 488 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 6: never seen them, but they put these things out on 489 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 6: social media. Despite all that bravado, they are suffering tremendously 490 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 6: and they're going to suffer more until they come to 491 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 6: their senses. They're not there yet, unfortunately. 492 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 10: Yeah. 493 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 11: I think there's a lot to that, right there is. Well, yeah, 494 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 11: just the reaction I would say is, yeah, there is 495 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 11: a lot of that, like a bravado as you as 496 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 11: you talk about because you know so much of it. 497 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 11: It's like a lot of other cultures, of non Western cultures. 498 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 11: It's a very like face saving type of a culture 499 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 11: and remaining defiant. 500 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 10: Now, one thing. 501 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 11: I'd say that when you mentioned earlier is a lot 502 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 11: of their targets hadn't been hit yet. One thing that 503 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 11: I think is really interesting to point out is Uranians 504 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 11: were at least smart enough because look, a lot of 505 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 11: people think these people are just you know, dominant educated. 506 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 11: That's far from it. Uh, they are, you know, their 507 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 11: leadership is quite fanatical. But one of the things that 508 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 11: that you guys and the viewers shouldn't realize is that 509 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 11: they knew that if they got into a real conflict 510 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 11: with the United States as they have, that most of 511 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 11: their conventional forces, their conventional navy would go away. They 512 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 11: knew that right like they lost their ships, they lost 513 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 11: their you know, their what few submarines they have. They 514 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 11: now granted they've got conventional ground troops, but that's you know, 515 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 11: that's not really a threat to the region. So what 516 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 11: they did, and they knew that was going to go away. 517 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 11: But what they did invest a lot of time and 518 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 11: effort and money into is a lot of these you know, 519 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 11: hidden missile sites, launch sites, storage facilities. They're the so 520 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 11: called uh, you know, mosquito fleet, which what we call 521 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 11: fast inshore attack craft fact fayak, you know a lot 522 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 11: of that and so and also keep in mind the 523 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 11: coastline of Iran is about roughly the same length as California. 524 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 11: It's a lot of real estate and it's also pretty 525 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 11: craggy mountainous along most of that coastline, so you can 526 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 11: hide a lot of things in there. And one thing is, 527 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 11: while I think it's safe to say that the Iranian 528 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 11: coastline along the Persian Gulf and you know, and along 529 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 11: the Strait of Hormuz is probably some of the most 530 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 11: heavily surveilled in the world right now. So we are 531 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 11: watching at all times, and I think you're going to 532 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 11: start seeing that the future attacks are going to get 533 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 11: fewer and further between, because every time they make a move, 534 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 11: we see it and will most likely hit it or 535 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 11: be able to hit it. So that's one of the 536 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 11: things that I think between that and addition the blockade, 537 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 11: and also I've been told with not I haven't given 538 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 11: any of the details, but there are other options on 539 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 11: the table for the president to force a deal or 540 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 11: and it may be a deal that's not a great 541 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 11: one for them, but they have no other choice to accept. 542 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 11: But all that said is the Iranians pursued what they 543 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 11: called their Mosaic Plan. And I'm not sure if you 544 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 11: or your viewers are familiar with this, but in two 545 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 11: thousand and three, when they saw Iraq get absolutely pummeled 546 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 11: and the Saddam Hussein's government taken over in a matter 547 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 11: of weeks, you know, like, say what you want about 548 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 11: the occupation of Iraq. That was obviously a mess. I 549 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 11: participated in that, but we did take out their convention, 550 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 11: their government, and their conventional military very quickly because we 551 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 11: did decapitation strikes, destroyed all of their command and control communications, 552 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 11: and you know, they were blind very quickly and it 553 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 11: got over. It is over soon. So Iran saw that 554 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 11: and they said, oh crap, we need to be able 555 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 11: to plan against something like that. So what they did 556 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 11: with their mosaic plan is Iran has thirty one provinces 557 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 11: and each province is essentially its own command and control 558 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 11: see right where they have their standing orders. They know 559 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 11: what they're supposed to do in case they get into 560 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 11: a big shooting war with America or whomever else, but 561 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 11: in this case America, and they have their own I 562 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 11: guess you could say, self contained military fighting force. And 563 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 11: so what we're doing now to counter that is you've 564 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 11: seen some of the infrastructure we've been hitting is to 565 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 11: cut off and isolate. There's three providence provinces boushir Conzas 566 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 11: and I can't remember the name of the other one, 567 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 11: I apologize, that are along the coast there and basically 568 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 11: cutting them off in terms of power, rail bridges, roadways 569 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 11: to make sure that they are completely isolated, because those 570 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 11: are the biggest threats to American shipping. And even though 571 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 11: the actual firepower power projection capability against merchant traffic is 572 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 11: relatively low, the issue though, is that insurance companies don't 573 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 11: want to underwrite it or they make the premiums too expensive. 574 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: Now, I think that's all really really smart analysis. I 575 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: think the question and then becomes, you know, because I 576 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: keep hearing you know, Trump wants this done, which leads 577 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 2: me to believe that he wants a really, really forceful strike. 578 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,239 Speaker 2: It kind of makes me think back to you know, 579 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: Isis where he unshackled the military to defeat ISIS and 580 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 2: they got it done really quick. I mean, I think 581 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 2: that's kind of where his thinking is at. So, Tom, 582 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 2: your analysis is amazing. I think it's really helpful. Just breaking. 583 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 2: By the way, on at Axios, I guess he gave 584 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: an exclusive interview. President Trump says he is close to 585 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: making a decision, including strikes that would be bigger than 586 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 2: the ones carried out during Operation Epic Fury. So he's 587 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 2: seriously considering restarting major combat operations in Iran and even 588 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: bigger strikes. Right, So, even though we've continued hitting them. 589 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 2: Apparently he's got plans that he's very very seriously considering 590 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 2: that could go even further. Explain, as I said before, 591 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: inside the room, which voices are pushing for this, which 592 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 2: voices maybe want to see a different route, and what 593 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 2: would this larger plan entail in your estimation. 594 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 11: Well, despite the fact that I've got a lot of 595 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 11: friends at the White House of Pentagon and i'm there often, 596 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 11: nobody's sharing too much strategy with me. But I think 597 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 11: it's a fair estimate right now that it's pretty consistent. 598 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 11: What we're seeing here with this breaking news is pretty 599 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 11: consistent with what I was just speaking about on an 600 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 11: earlier segment that I would suspect that these massive attacks 601 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 11: would most likely be focused on, you know, the coastal 602 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 11: provinces where most of the attacks on shipping or it's 603 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 11: more like molesting attacks on shipping that really threaten and 604 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 11: makes you know, the shipping too expensive to underwrite, that 605 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 11: slows down the flow of resources through the strait. I 606 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 11: think it's we're going to see isolating isolation of those provinces, 607 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 11: like cutting off everything or you know, turn the way out, 608 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 11: cutting off rail bridges, highways, any sort of communication so 609 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 11: that those provinces. 610 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: There are no longer a. 611 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 10: Threat to shipping traffic right now. 612 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 11: So keep in mind that we've got our two biggest 613 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 11: objectives in this whole thing. Is one, first and foremost 614 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 11: is deny Around's ability to build a nuclear weapon. Now, obviously, 615 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 11: reasonable people can argue whether or not the fact that 616 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 11: any in your enriched uranium that's buried beneath a mountain 617 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 11: now in full of rubble and all that is completely 618 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 11: inaccessible or what. And so we can just check that 619 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 11: box off, and you know, just just keep an eye 620 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 11: on things and assume that they're not going to try 621 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 11: to rebuild. And if we have to come back and 622 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 11: mow the lawn, we will. Okay, that might be part 623 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 11: of that, but denying them access to nuclear weapons. And 624 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 11: then next is ensuring the Strait of Hormuz, which is 625 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 11: in international strait, is free for you know, it's complete 626 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 11: freedom navigation. 627 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 2: So those are those two objectives. 628 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 11: And keep in mind, like I mentioned, with that mosaic 629 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 11: plan that they are executing right now, is you know, 630 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 11: in my estimation, you know, we could wipe Tehran off 631 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 11: the map and very likely it wouldn't change the tactical 632 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 11: situation on the ground along the Strait of Hormuz. So 633 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 11: in addition, I think to probably taking out more leadership, 634 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 11: just as whoever is comes next in the seat decides, 635 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 11: hey maybe I like this position, and also, hey, I 636 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 11: don't want to have a bomb dropped on my head. 637 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 11: They those people might be more inclined to make a deal. However, 638 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 11: even if Tehran leadership does make a deal, it's not 639 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 11: a guarantee that some of these provinces and local IGC commanders, 640 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 11: IRGC commanders you know, on the ground are gonna listen 641 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 11: because they've got their standing ords. It's part of that 642 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 11: mosaic plan. Say, hey, if commanded control is knocked out, 643 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 11: don't anything anyone else says, carry out this mission. So 644 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 11: I think it really comes down less about you know, 645 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 11: neutralizing the head of the snake, and then really it's 646 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 11: like ta neutering their ability to project any sort of power, 647 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 11: even minimal power, such as you know, firing a few 648 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 11: rockets are drones at shipping traffic. Does that all make 649 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 11: sense to. 650 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 2: You, guys, Yeah, it makes perfect sense. And it seems 651 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 2: like I mean, I'm just reading the tea leaves here 652 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 2: that the basic prevailing sentiment within this administration right now 653 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 2: and probably the War Department, is that they need more pain. 654 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 2: That they're getting asked to make a deal. But basically 655 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 2: they're not working working forward in good faith and therefore 656 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 2: they need more pain. It seems like this is going 657 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 2: to happen, that the escalation is going to happen, and 658 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 2: then maybe they'll be willing to make a deal. There's 659 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 2: another front on this war, though, that people need to 660 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 2: keep their eyes on as we look at energy prices 661 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 2: Tom the Houtis are firing at Saudi shipping lanes now 662 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 2: as well in the Red Sea. And President Trump is 663 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 2: saying we're going to hold Iran responsible because that's a proxy. 664 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 2: What can you tell us about that? We have two 665 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 2: minutes remaining. What are you what are you looking for there? 666 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 7: Uh? 667 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 2: If we're going to hold Iran responsible, I mean, wouldn't 668 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 2: we just fire on the hoo thies? 669 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 11: You know, I'm actually no, that's a that's a fair point. 670 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 11: And I'm honestly surprised now because up until now the Houthis, 671 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 11: have you noticed, like have kind of stayed quiet, They've 672 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 11: stayed out of this fight. I'm actually surprised right now 673 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 11: I'm willing to bet that obviously that the Houthies uh 674 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 11: do get some support from the Iranians, obviously at least 675 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 11: a little bit, if not considerable. So uh, you know, 676 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 11: the Houthis, I think for a time were wisely staying 677 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 11: out of this fight, as in, like, we don't want 678 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 11: that heat right now, and they cannot sustain the type 679 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 11: of punishment that Iran has been taking. So when I 680 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 11: learned that, you know that they were firing at you know, 681 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 11: their mortal enemy, the saudiast or well, I guess mortal 682 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 11: enemies really is real. But you know something, the Saudi's 683 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 11: and the N's don't get along too well. So when 684 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 11: I heard about that, I was rather surprised. I think 685 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 11: you could probably see so much it would take us 686 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 11: a lot less for us to properly punish the hoo Thies. 687 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 11: And a lot of this really just comes down to geography. 688 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 11: And you know, I mean, look at you know, our 689 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 11: mutual good friend Jack Pasovic often loves to point out 690 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 11: the map right like map break, and you've got to 691 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 11: keep in mind that geography really matters. So where Iran, 692 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 11: especially the areas that we're concerned with, is super mountainous 693 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 11: hard to navigate, easy to hide things. You know, yes, 694 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 11: there are some mountains in Yemen, but it's a lot flatter, 695 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 11: and you know it's they're much more exposed, so their 696 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 11: power projection capability is a lot lower. So I'm willing 697 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 11: to bet that you know, somebody in Yemen had their 698 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 11: arm twisted or worse into doing this, because it's really 699 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 11: just a poor decision for them. 700 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 2: Tom Souer, former Navy EO D Officer, former Navy lieutenant commander. 701 00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 2: Excellent analysis that you know, matt break, sort of regional break. 702 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 2: We haven't covered this as much as maybe our audience 703 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 2: would have expected because it's just been this time, it's 704 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 2: been a stasis. But you're telling us it's a lot 705 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,240 Speaker 2: of pieces in motion, and we're going to be keeping 706 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: a closer eye at the coming days. Tom, thank you 707 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 2: so much. 708 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 11: Thank you gentlemen. 709 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 2: Good conversation is about respect. It's how we create a 710 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 2: space where people are able to share their ideas and 711 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 2: be heard. Charlie knew that Turning Point still knows that, 712 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 2: and TikTok has always strived to build the kind of 713 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 2: place that thrives on respectful connection, where curiosity fuels connection, 714 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 2: and we can share what's on our minds and learn 715 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 2: from each other. When ideas meet respect, good things happen. 716 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 2: On TikTok. You can find a mechanic explaining the why 717 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 2: behind a problem most of us wouldn't even know how 718 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 2: to name, or a father sharing a lifetime of knowledge 719 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 2: with his viewers. Viewers who listen discuss, and then they respond. 720 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 2: TikTok turns connection into community through small acts of understanding. 721 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 2: You can feel it in the comments and the thank 722 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 2: you from a stranger halfway across the world. TikTok is 723 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 2: a place where respect opens the door for discussion, and 724 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 2: discussion helps us build something real. We've got a great 725 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 2: guest in store. His name is Oron McIntyre. You've seen 726 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 2: him here before, host of The Oran McIntyre Show. He's 727 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 2: a columnist for The Blaze and you can find him 728 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 2: on Exit oron McIntyre. Please do check him out. He's 729 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 2: a smart guy and a thinker. We're gonna be talking 730 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 2: about something else. Congress Scott passed yesterday and that was 731 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 2: the NDAA and inside of that, there are some provisions 732 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 2: that have caused a lot of controversy, and the one 733 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 2: that's getting the most attention is section two nineteen. But 734 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 2: there's another section six twenty two that I actually think 735 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 2: I have more issues with, and we're gonna unpack that 736 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 2: with Orin McIntyre right now, orin welcome back to the show. 737 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 10: Thanks for having me, guys. 738 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 2: All right, So why don't you explain to nineteen and 739 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 2: six twenty two Orrin, and we will unpack them from there. 740 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 7: So two nineteen is getting all the attention. That's the 741 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 7: one that just past the house, and a lot of 742 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 7: people are saying that this is totally integrating the Israeli 743 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 7: military and the US military. We're merging both of these forces, 744 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 7: and that's not correct. What this is is a way 745 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,280 Speaker 7: in which we can work with each other on different 746 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 7: dynamics when it comes to logistics chains, developing of technologies, 747 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 7: a lot of integration when it comes to looking at 748 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 7: AI drones, cybersecurity, possibly even things like directed energy weapons. 749 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 7: This is an agreement that looks a lot like the 750 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 7: kind of things we have, but they are NATO countries. 751 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 7: The only problem is we're not actually in a technical 752 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 7: alliance with Israel. We don't have any real documents drawn 753 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,720 Speaker 7: up that ultimately put us in some kind of defense 754 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 7: treaty with Israel, and the other half of this is, well, 755 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 7: we were kind of trying to get out of NATO, right, 756 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 7: We've been talking about how it isn't great that we're 757 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 7: integrated with all these other countries that they're relying on 758 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 7: us for their defense, and this looks an awful like 759 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 7: we're kind of reinstantiating NATO, but only between US and Israel. 760 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 7: So it's not anything as hyperbolic as people make it 761 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 7: out to be, but it is still I think a 762 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 7: step in the wrong direction, especially under the area of cybersecurity, 763 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 7: because we do know that Israel does spy on the 764 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 7: United States. Some people justify that and say, hey, every 765 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 7: nation's going to do that. Some people say, you know, no, 766 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 7: that's terrible. But either way, I don't think we should 767 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 7: be integrating cybersecurity with a nation that ultimately has a record. 768 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 10: Of spying on us. 769 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 7: I also am strongly of the belief that Machiavelli is 770 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 7: right about politics and foreign mercenaries and foreign auxiliaries. You 771 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 7: never should fight a war with other people's troops, other 772 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 7: people's technology, because you are not sovereign over them. You 773 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 7: are dependent on something you do not control. And when 774 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 7: we are talking about eliminating redundancies like two nineteen does. 775 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 7: What we're really saying is we're gonna not make some 776 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 7: of these things. We're gonna give the Israelis the opportunity 777 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 7: to build them or work on them. Those kind of 778 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 7: things integrate them. And so we don't want to be 779 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 7: dependent on any Israeli technology, not because there is really, 780 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 7: but because we just shouldn't be dependent on anyone else. 781 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 7: As we learn from COVID when we didn't produce antibiotics 782 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 7: or ventilators, that's not great for us. So I think 783 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 7: two nineteen is probably a poor decision, but it's not 784 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 7: as distressing as six twenty two. Now, six twenty two 785 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 7: is a Senate provision, so it is separate and has 786 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 7: not passed yet. Because this has not passed the Senate, 787 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,919 Speaker 7: it would most likely end up in reconciliation if both 788 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 7: of these were going to move forward. And what six 789 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 7: point twenty two does is it requires intelligence sharing with 790 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 7: Israel unless the President goes to Congress and specifically asks 791 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 7: to not have to do that. So what it does 792 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 7: is it automates all intelligence sharing with the Israelis, and 793 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 7: it removes the article to authority of the president to 794 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 7: have control of intelligence. He has to go back to 795 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 7: Congress in order to say no, I'm going to stop 796 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 7: sharing that intelligence again. I just think that it is 797 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,439 Speaker 7: bad to have an automatic position where the president does 798 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 7: not have control over intelligence agencies and instead there's more 799 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 7: power now in the deep state if this passes to 800 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 7: control the flow of intelligence unless the president can literally 801 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 7: go to Congress and get approval to do his job. 802 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that's all really well stated. Go ahead, 803 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 2: But that's all well. 804 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 4: That second part there just limiting the president's ability to 805 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 4: make decisions on what seems to me a very core 806 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 4: national security matter. There is there an argument in favor 807 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 4: of this. Is it one of those things in Congress 808 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 4: that sort of got slipped in somewhere along along the 809 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 4: way and a lot of people don't know what they're 810 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 4: voting for. Are they making the case for why this 811 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 4: is so important? I guess is it? Probably? I'm thinking 812 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 4: of it up on the fly. Are they basically worried 813 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 4: we'll have a DSA president and the future who tries 814 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 4: to shut this down and they want to block that preemptively? 815 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 3: But just how did this come about? What's going on here? 816 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 2: Well? 817 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 7: I think the benign argument would be that this simply 818 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 7: automates a process that's ongoing anyway. We're already allies with Israel, 819 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 7: We're already sharing intelligence on a regular basis, and so 820 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 7: this just was out the process. We have five Eyes 821 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 7: agreements with other nations, and this would create a similar 822 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 7: scenario except for this thing where it inhibits the president 823 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 7: from stopping this unless he gets the congressional action. 824 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 10: I do think that the. 825 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 7: Motivation for both of these is ultimately to kind of 826 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 7: remove the Israeli relationship from the democratic process. As you said, 827 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 7: there's a high possibility that Democrats and well, frankly in 828 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,320 Speaker 7: a decade maybe even the Republicans would not be huge 829 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 7: fans of close integration with Israel. And what this does 830 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,800 Speaker 7: is make that automatic and makes it creates a level 831 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 7: of bureaucracy that is hard to overcome in order to 832 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 7: stop it. And this is where the deep state comes in. 833 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 7: This is where we get the deep states automating all 834 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 7: of these processes, removing them from the constitutional authority that's 835 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 7: vested in either the Congress or the president, and instead 836 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 7: making sure that the bureaucracies automatically carry out these agendas 837 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 7: no matter who gets elected. So I do think there's 838 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 7: a little bit of hedging here. And this is why 839 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 7: I've heard from many people that many people in the 840 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 7: White House and the government Pentagon they don't really want this. 841 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 7: They're already working with Israel. They don't need any kind 842 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 7: of encouragement to so. So it feels like there is 843 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 7: the pressure is really coming from the Congress, the legislators 844 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 7: who are interested in locking that position away from presidential 845 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,479 Speaker 7: authority rather than the president or you know, the current 846 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 7: Pentagon looking to make this change. 847 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you've made some really tremendous points 848 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 2: here or I and I would just say I checked 849 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 2: with my sources to your last point there with the 850 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 2: Department of War, and basically their position is we don't 851 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 2: need this. We're already working very closely with Israel. I 852 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 2: think the other so our own Department of War. I mean, 853 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 2: I can't underscore that enough doesn't want this deal. Their 854 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 2: official position is there against this. The other thing that 855 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 2: I think was a really good point to Blake's earlier 856 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 2: point was this stripping of article to power from the 857 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 2: president to do what he feels his best. Now that 858 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 2: might be you know, inconsequential right now with President Trump 859 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 2: in the White House. But it does feel like a 860 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 2: hedging for potential future Democrat presidents and ensuring that this 861 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 2: sort of alliance stays intact. I see it on multiple levels. 862 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 2: Multiple things can be true, namely that Israel can be 863 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 2: really freaking good at making military tech. I mean, they 864 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 2: got lasers that are shooting down drones, and there could 865 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,760 Speaker 2: be some economies of scale, there could be some advantages there. 866 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 2: But what you said was very important. It's essentially an 867 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 2: agreement that we will not make certain aspects of our 868 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 2: own military tech. That feels like a recipe for disaster 869 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 2: potentially down the road, and I don't love that. And 870 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 2: then again on the intel sharing, we're already sharing intel, 871 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 2: but we can turn it off, turn it on. They 872 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: do spy on us, we probably spy on them. It 873 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,280 Speaker 2: feels like the lines need to be very clear. Israel 874 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 2: is amazing at fighting its wars. We can learn things 875 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 2: from them. We do learn things from them. But here's 876 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 2: my last point. We really haven't touched on this yet. 877 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 2: Israel needs its own read them obviously from a practical standpoint, 878 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 2: but from an optic standpoint, they cannot be perceived as 879 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 2: a vassal state of the United States, either domestically or internationally. 880 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,879 Speaker 2: People cannot see them that way. And I think that's 881 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 2: really really critical because this these sections could give the impression, 882 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,359 Speaker 2: even though we said it's overblown, that that is the case, 883 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 2: that they are just a vassal state of the United States. 884 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 2: So these for all these reasons and more, I am 885 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 2: against the both section two nineteen and six twenty two. 886 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 2: But six point twenty two is the real poison pill here, 887 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 2: and I just want to reiterate something two things can 888 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 2: be true at once. This is not an anti Israel. Position. 889 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 2: This is a pro America position. This is a what 890 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 2: makes sense position, And six point twenty two strips the 891 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 2: president of Article two authorities that that that's kind of insane. 892 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 2: The question now becomes does it have a chance of 893 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 2: passing in the Senate? And what are you hearing on that. 894 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 10: It's a difficult question. 895 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 7: I mean, obviously we know that the House just passed 896 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 7: two nineteen and six twenty two is part of the 897 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 7: Senate bill, so it would even have to go through 898 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 7: the reconciliation process. It might not survive that as well. 899 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 7: I do think that it is probably likely to eventually 900 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 7: get past but I hope that is not the case. 901 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 7: And the problem really is the frame that this sets. 902 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 7: As you noted before we went to break, this is 903 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 7: bad for America and Israel. 904 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 10: This is bad for sovereignty across the board. 905 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 7: And right now AOC is out there yelling about two 906 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 7: nineteen saying that it's selling our entire military out to Israel, 907 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,360 Speaker 7: that it's merging our forces and handing over all our sovereignty. 908 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 7: And while that's a really big overstatement, ultimately she gets 909 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 7: to make that argument because the Right is making bad decisions. 910 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 7: They're making decisions that don't seem to benefit America first. 911 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 7: And so while I think her argument is hyperbolic, and 912 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 7: those hyperbolic arguments don't help us to understand the nuances 913 00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 7: of what's actually occurring here, that doesn't mean that we 914 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 7: should reflexively just support the thing, because I do think 915 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 7: there are very serious problems here. Again, we are working 916 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 7: from a point of nationalism, and what I'm hearing more 917 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 7: and more from both Israeli nationalists and American nationalists is 918 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,320 Speaker 7: that it does not benefit either country to be dependent 919 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 7: on each other. But we both need our sovereignty, we 920 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 7: both need our respect, we both need our authority, and 921 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 7: that can happen when we're integrating all of our systems 922 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 7: that's set such a close level. That's the opposite of sovereignty. 923 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 7: So I think for the sake of both nations, we 924 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,839 Speaker 7: need to encourage our senators to reject this imposition on 925 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,399 Speaker 7: the president and his authority. Like I said, I don't 926 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 7: think the White House wants this. I don't think the 927 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 7: military wants this. I think this is just a move 928 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 7: by legislators who have some our ulterior motives, or perhaps 929 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,440 Speaker 7: they think they're doing the right thing by protecting an 930 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,840 Speaker 7: ally by removing it from the democratic process. But ultimately 931 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 7: this is something that is going to read terribly for 932 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 7: both the US and Israel in the pr war and 933 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 7: in the idea that we're currently involved in this conflict. 934 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 7: I just don't think it's wise at this moment to 935 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 7: a shrine a relationship that many people are saying we 936 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 7: should probably disentangle and allow for sovereignty on both ends. 937 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 4: Or I talked about this with Charlie often, and I 938 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,720 Speaker 4: think we're all aware there's a lot of anti Israel 939 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 4: sentiment rising on the right. There's also just a rise 940 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 4: of anti Semitism on the right, and what I argued 941 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 4: with him, is I think a lot of this just 942 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,759 Speaker 4: comes from it's not and implicit they're always going to 943 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 4: hate them. It's that a lot of young people they've 944 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 4: grow up and they just they feel like they've seen 945 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 4: story after story where lawmakers are just literally prioritizing a 946 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 4: foreign country, or where it feels like like we're basically 947 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 4: our country is being a sucker. And I think that 948 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 4: if you just dial back that aspect of feeling like 949 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 4: we're suckers, they would get over this and they would 950 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 4: be fine with having them as an ally in the 951 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:51,800 Speaker 4: Middle East. 952 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 3: But these these kind of weird acts. 953 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 4: Where they're creating a relationship that doesn't exist with literally 954 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 4: any other country, seems it's what creates a lot of 955 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 4: the bad blood. 956 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 10: I agree on one hundred percent. 957 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 7: I think it's not even often Israeli official saying anything 958 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 7: that's the problem. You have politicians, American politicians saying I 959 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 7: only went into Congress to fight for Israel. You have 960 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 7: people like Tammy Bruce as a spokesman for the United 961 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 7: States government saying, actually, I think America is the best 962 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 7: country in the world except for Israel. 963 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 10: Like that's just not healthy. 964 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 7: That looks bad for everybody, and I don't think anyone 965 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 7: in Israel asked Tammy Bruce to say that. 966 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 10: But when you have people. 967 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,439 Speaker 7: Going out and saying that, you can see why young 968 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 7: people look at this and say this is just not 969 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 7: a good relationship to be in. 970 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 10: I agree that ultimately what we have to. 971 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 7: Do, what must be done, is we must decouple the 972 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 7: government of Israel from the idea of all Jewish people. 973 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 7: It is not fair to judge all Jewish people by 974 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 7: the government Israel, or the government of Israel by Jewish people. 975 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 7: These are not one and the same. These are not 976 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 7: the same category. And you can have concerns about a 977 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,880 Speaker 7: relationship with Israel, could have concerns with actions of the 978 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 7: Israeli government and be fine with Jewish people in the. 979 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 10: United States and abroad. This is just not healthy to 980 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 10: have this idea. 981 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,280 Speaker 7: If Americans criticize their government, they're not attacking the American people. 982 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 7: If someone says, hey, I like Israel, I think it's 983 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 7: an ally in many ways. But ultimately there are aspects 984 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,280 Speaker 7: of this relationship that are unhealthy. That is not anti Semitism, 985 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 7: that is not an attack on the American people. And 986 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 7: by the way, Charlie was attacked as an anti Semite 987 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 7: for voicing exactly this belief. And I think if he 988 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 7: has the courage to go out and say the things 989 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,919 Speaker 7: that he said about that relationship, we should be able 990 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 7: to do the same. Charlie loved Israel, he loved the 991 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 7: Jewish people, and no one believed except the worst possible 992 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 7: actors who were trying to smear him, that some criticism 993 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,800 Speaker 7: unhealthy aspects of that relationship is an attack on Jewish 994 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 7: people in general. 995 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 10: I think that just has to be the standard going forward. 996 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree. He actually devoted, to Blake's point, 997 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,080 Speaker 2: he devoted a ton of energy to making sure there 998 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,280 Speaker 2: was this sort of third option. You're not either four 999 00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 2: or against. There's multiple multiple spots in between where you 1000 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 2: can still be four Israel for the Jewish people, but 1001 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 2: be able to point out legitimate criticisms or have critiques 1002 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 2: about the arrangement, right, And I think that's great. I 1003 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 2: just want to I want to reiterate something here. The 1004 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 2: Department of War is against this section two nineteen and 1005 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 2: six twenty two. That should tell you everything you need 1006 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 2: to know. We already have a very close working relationship. 1007 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 2: The thing that as I've been sitting here pondering or 1008 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 2: in yeah, six twenty two, this intel sharing mandating it 1009 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 2: stripping Article two powers from the president, massive mass and 1010 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 2: poison pill. But the other part of it, we've just 1011 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 2: seen this play out so many times. If you give 1012 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:47,360 Speaker 2: America the option to not develop or manufacture certain aspects, 1013 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,880 Speaker 2: whether it's a chip or it's a piece a component 1014 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 2: that goes into a missile or a plane, we will 1015 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 2: stop doing it. What happens when our interests diverged with 1016 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,439 Speaker 2: Israel in the future, because they've diverged with the UK, 1017 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 2: they've diverged with austral Tell you where we have similar arrangements. 1018 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 2: Will that be a leverage point to force us into 1019 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 2: certain actions. I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm 1020 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 2: saying you're opening the door for something like that to happen, 1021 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 2: and then we don't make the peace that we need. Okay. 1022 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 2: I just this thing is bad optically in it and 1023 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 2: I think it's in the wrong direction or in McIntyre, 1024 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 2: thank you for joining us.

But here's a. 1062 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 12: Huge Brittany Hicks fan. I mean, we're all big Britney 1063 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 12: Hicks fans over here. 1064 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,879 Speaker 10: So with the audience, will okay, hold on there, We'll 1065 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 10: get it. 1066 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,919 Speaker 2: So we have to Yeah, we have to actually get 1067 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 2: the Shane Gillis moment. I think it was like you 1068 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,399 Speaker 2: got it, you got it, he shouts out the w NBA. 1069 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 2: Please get that clip that the w NBA star in 1070 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,200 Speaker 2: the in the row. We'll play that as soon as 1071 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 2: we have it, So Sophie, Sophie Cunningham says, hey, men 1072 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,400 Speaker 2: shouldn't be in women's sports, and it's become like a 1073 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 2: whole thing because I I don't know, like when we 1074 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 2: tell you that woke is not dead, it's just paused. 1075 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 2: It's dormant while President Trump is in office. This is 1076 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 2: clue number eight hundred and seventy eight thousand. Okay, let's 1077 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 2: go ahead and play. So she gets asked by this 1078 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 2: and she had a great answer, Sophie Cunningham. We really 1079 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 2: like what she's about, what she's doing. Top five. 1080 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 13: On that same vein and that story with ESPN, you 1081 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 13: talked about wanting to protect young girls who shouldn't have 1082 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 13: to go against biological men. 1083 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 2: Just can you expand your viewpoint on that? 1084 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 13: I mean, I think I said what I said. I 1085 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 13: think it's kind of common sense, and I think I'll 1086 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,840 Speaker 13: always believe in that. I think it's really important to 1087 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 13: protect children, and that's little girls who are also involved 1088 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,319 Speaker 13: in that category. And so I stand on what I 1089 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,399 Speaker 13: said and I always believe that. 1090 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 2: All right, So Alex, the controversy doesn't end there, because 1091 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 2: you know, we had to get somebody from the view 1092 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 2: chiming in. In this case it's Meghan Rappano who lost 1093 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,240 Speaker 2: a soccer match to fifteen year old boys. But that's fine, 1094 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 2: she's got something to say here. Tot six. 1095 00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 14: They're going after trans people in sports, and they're using 1096 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 14: this as a wedge issue because we love sports, and 1097 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 14: you know, we don't want our little girls to be 1098 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 14: unsafe in sports. 1099 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 7: And it's like. 1100 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 13: Unsafe from who? 1101 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,399 Speaker 14: But okay, but now we're using this as like an 1102 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 14: overarching thing, when really what we're attacking women. We're saying 1103 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 14: if you look like this as a woman, you can play. 1104 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 2: Not if you look if you are a woman. 1105 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 10: Wasn't that guy in the Odyssey? 1106 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 12: But wasn't that guy in the Odyssey, by the way, 1107 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 12: the one you just played, the little guy with the 1108 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 12: blonde here like the safe saying no the So first 1109 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 12: of all, I hate all this because I want Sophie Cunningham. 1110 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 12: Sounds totally rational, very brave of her to stand up 1111 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 12: and make this point. But this is getting me further 1112 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 12: away from my ultimate goal, which is I want to 1113 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 12: see five guys who are former or current NBA players 1114 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 12: just announce that their women go down the NBA and 1115 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 12: just run up the score and just see how big 1116 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,320 Speaker 12: of a blowout. 1117 00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 2: You we could get. 1118 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, exactly, I want to see. I'm an accelerationist in 1119 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 12: this regard. I will not rest until five guys dominate 1120 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 12: the WNBA and bring home a championship. And so until 1121 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 12: I see that, then I'm not going to be satisfied 1122 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 12: with the woke moment. So I'm pretty upset about this 1123 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 12: because she sounds totally rational and normal, and we're all 1124 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 12: gonna have to talk about this because it's a positive 1125 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 12: for girls. But come on, guys, we could see the 1126 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 12: biggest blowout in WNBA history if we just take this 1127 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 12: experiment just one more step further with the appropriation of 1128 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 12: women's sports by men. 1129 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 2: I totally agree we should do. They don't even have 1130 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 2: to be like, you know, starters from the NBA. We'll 1131 00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:38,439 Speaker 2: get the back bench. 1132 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 4: I think the freshman all star team of like high 1133 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 4: school like high school freshmen, I think could probably win 1134 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 4: the w NBA. 1135 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 10: I would like to, I mean, with Megan, I would 1136 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 10: like to see that. 1137 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 12: But all in all seriousness, yes, sovietning m it's very 1138 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 12: brave what she said, and if you listen the full explanation, 1139 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 12: she says, it's because I'm protecting girls and I think 1140 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 12: girls should have a place where they do well in sports. 1141 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 12: And we've always talked about this as a society that 1142 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 12: we want girls to be able to be treated equally. 1143 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 12: It doesn't treat them equally if you let men come 1144 00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 12: in and win the sport. And she knows she's going 1145 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 12: to get hatred for this, and she still went out 1146 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 12: and said it, and that's awesome. It's actually and here's 1147 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,160 Speaker 12: a hot take for you. I think it's actually cooler 1148 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 12: than her pointing in a humorous way at another player. 1149 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,439 Speaker 12: But I will back all this up by saying, yet again, 1150 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 12: we're talking about the WNBA and it has nothing to 1151 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 12: do with anything that's happening on the court. It only 1152 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 12: has to do with the political stuff that happens in 1153 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 12: between plays. It's never about their skill as basketball players. 1154 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:39,360 Speaker 12: And I do find that amusing. 1155 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 2: Well, the question is you know what skill? Genuinely, I 1156 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 2: will take it back. Caitlin Clark is the most skilled 1157 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 2: WNBA player that I've seen. That she plays like a guy, 1158 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 2: like she can actually compete. I'm blown away. Sopha Cunningham's 1159 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 2: apparently very good, but there are skilled players I'm being 1160 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 2: a little harsh, but yeah, your point is apt Like 1161 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 2: the WNBA still can't get its act together and make money. 1162 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 2: It exists at the you know, because of the largesse 1163 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 2: of the NBA. 1164 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 3: Well we should push back on that. We should push 1165 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:15,520 Speaker 3: back on that a little. I will. 1166 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 4: I will say as much as I dump on the WNBA. 1167 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,200 Speaker 4: I'm not an avid follower like Andrew. What I will 1168 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 4: say is it is a testament to American greatness and American. 1169 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:25,920 Speaker 3: Enthusiasm and how go get her. 1170 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 4: We are that we made women's college basketball a thing 1171 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 4: a lot of people follow and care about. I have 1172 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 4: a friend, his boomer parents are just die hard Yukon 1173 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 4: women's basketball fans, and he follows them, and I believe 1174 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 4: the WNBA, like actually has real attendance. 1175 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 3: Now thanks to Caitlin Clark. 1176 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 4: She's on the apparently she's on the cover of the 1177 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 4: new NBA video game that you can play if you 1178 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 4: get the deluxe edition. She's the cover athlete. They still 1179 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 4: call it NBA, but they did put a w on 1180 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 4: the cover. I just feel like it's an American accomplishment 1181 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,520 Speaker 4: that we're so into sports that we made a somewhat 1182 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 4: inferior product. 1183 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 3: But aimed at women, an actual thing. 1184 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 4: That is constantly thrown at me when I visit ESPN, 1185 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 4: and they haven't given up yet. 1186 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 2: Here's the problem, though, this is like now bleeding into 1187 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 2: the White House press briefing room. This is like, this 1188 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 2: is getting out of hand, like Top seventeen. 1189 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 4: Sofia Cunningham and. 1190 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 5: The end WNBA has been attacked as a maga barbie 1191 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 5: for saying it's common sense for men to not be 1192 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 5: in women's sports and locker rooms. 1193 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:29,920 Speaker 14: Is the President following this story? 1194 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,480 Speaker 5: I know he is following the story, as you know. 1195 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 5: This is something the President feels strongly about as well, 1196 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 5: and the American people do too, that men should not 1197 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 5: be playing in women's sports. It's completely ludicrous that anyone 1198 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 5: could support that. It's even more ludicrous that you do 1199 01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 5: have Sophia Cunningham, a female athlete herself very accomplished in 1200 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 5: her own right, coming forth and speaking that truth that 1201 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 5: men shouldn't play in women's sports. We want to protect 1202 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 5: women and girls, and the backlash she is receiving from 1203 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,959 Speaker 5: Democrats and left wing fingers across the country is astonishing. 1204 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 5: They are clearly very out of touch with the American 1205 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 5: public on this issue. Which again is an eighty twenty issue. 1206 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 5: It's common sense, it's rooted in basic biological fact. 1207 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think Maga Barbie actually has a 1208 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:13,640 Speaker 2: nice ring to it. Alex. 1209 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:15,439 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's great, it's great. 1210 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 12: It's all good and also is funny how Trump is 1211 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 12: now just a constant fixture in sports. He got FIFA 1212 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,760 Speaker 12: to change their roles. There was a report that after 1213 01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 12: Bryson Deshambeau got assessed at two shot penalty the British 1214 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 12: Open over the weekend, he wanted to call Trump and 1215 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 12: get Trump the way in over a British golf tournament. 1216 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,440 Speaker 12: I mean, it is just he just looms large over everything. 1217 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 12: That's where we're at, and I'm here for it. The 1218 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,479 Speaker 12: entertainment value just through the roof. 1219 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 2: Well you saw that with the Spain team when they 1220 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,360 Speaker 2: won the World Cup. They wanted President Trump to be 1221 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 2: out there. 1222 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:45,880 Speaker 3: Trump. 1223 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,200 Speaker 2: They were all doing the Trump dance. Yeah, and there 1224 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 2: was actually what I think the guy who scored the 1225 01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 2: winning goal actually was wearing a Make Spain Great Again hat. Yes, 1226 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 2: during the parade. So You're so right, he looms so 1227 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 2: large and you know I'm here for But all that 1228 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 2: being said, to wrap this up, in a nice bow here, gentlemen, 1229 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,200 Speaker 2: the whole thing is ludicrous. It makes me sad that 1230 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,640 Speaker 2: we are still dealing with this issue that should have 1231 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 2: been put to bed a while ago. And I just 1232 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 2: want to reiterate, Evil never sleeps. Woke is not dead. 1233 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 2: It's just sleeping. It's dormant. I shouldn't say it's sleeping 1234 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,439 Speaker 2: because I just said evil never sleeps. But they are 1235 01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 2: going to mount a comeback and they will try and 1236 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,560 Speaker 2: regain territory here. The fact that Megan Rappino goes on 1237 01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 2: there and says that men, you know, banning men and 1238 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 2: women's sports is an attack on women. That's how crazy 1239 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 2: these people are. It's completely ludicrous. But Sophie Cunningham is 1240 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 2: a national treasure. 1241 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm happy there's finally a WNBA story that 1242 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,240 Speaker 4: I can get excited about. 1243 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,320 Speaker 3: As excited as as you are, Andrew. 1244 01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 4: All the time, because I know you are deeply you're 1245 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 4: deeply passionate about it, even if you have to hide it, 1246 01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 4: even if you have to suppress it. 1247 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 3: We know you love it. We know you're super excited. 1248 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 2: Alex. Did you know that that Blake does not have 1249 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 2: a Do you know that Blake does not own his 1250 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:06,439 Speaker 2: own girl. 1251 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 3: I have girl. 1252 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 2: I used the girl last night. 1253 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 12: It's the it's I had heard that, which is a disgrace. 1254 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:17,200 Speaker 12: I might add that that is an absolutely I'm going 1255 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:18,160 Speaker 12: to fix it for him. 1256 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 10: I don't need to pile a lot. 1257 01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 12: I feel like Blake was a conscientious objector to the 1258 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 12: w NBA segment anyway, so now and I was just 1259 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 12: really piling on. But I think overall just to recap 1260 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 12: seriousness aside her argument, Sophie Cunningham's argument, which is that 1261 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 12: this protects girls to keep guys out of sports. 1262 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 10: Isn't that the logical one? 1263 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 3: Isn't anyone who. 1264 01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,640 Speaker 10: Refutes that kind of retarded? 1265 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 2: Well said, hi, folks, Andrew Colvett.

Alex. I want to tear our 1285 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:51,160 Speaker 2: attention to the DSA rise because it's something that is 1286 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 2: causing a lot of stir and I'm pretty amazed. Actually, 1287 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,320 Speaker 2: it's just how popular they are within the grassroots of 1288 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,120 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. Let's go ahead, play a clip from 1289 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 2: James Carville to get us into this segment three. 1290 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:09,000 Speaker 15: And these people are paternalistic and it's a bunch of 1291 01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 15: over educated, little white turds who think they know more 1292 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 15: than other people know. 1293 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:15,480 Speaker 12: They think they know. 1294 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 3: More than you do. 1295 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:22,920 Speaker 15: You should do these people with extreme, extreme skepticism. 1296 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 2: He calls them little white turds. And then you get 1297 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 2: this interesting clip from a quote from Punch Built Bowld 1298 01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 2: News from Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina, who's obviously 1299 01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 2: a black man. He said, I saw a picture that 1300 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 2: concerned me coming out of Michigan. And he's of course 1301 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,000 Speaker 2: looking at lsied race there, which is a he's a 1302 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 2: far left radical Muslim DSA supported candidate for Senate. I 1303 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 2: saw a picture that concerned me coming out of Michigan. 1304 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 2: I saw the rally. I didn't see a single person 1305 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 2: that looks like me. That tells me all I need 1306 01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 2: to know. So you got, we're calling them white turds. 1307 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 2: Clyburn's worried there's no diversity. It does seem like the 1308 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 2: rise of DSA is really the rise of entitled white 1309 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:10,680 Speaker 2: radical progressives. 1310 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 4: It's clear like this is a manifestation of the race 1311 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 4: obsession on the left. Like a lot of their biggest 1312 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:21,960 Speaker 4: ideological left wingers, they're really far on the left. They're 1313 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 4: more open to the socialism, outright communism stuff, yet they've 1314 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 4: also been marinating in race politics for so long. If 1315 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:32,440 Speaker 4: you're on the left, you can't really view your movement 1316 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 4: as fully legitimate unless you have the right number of 1317 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,680 Speaker 4: brown faces to prove that you're a pan ethnic coalition, 1318 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 4: or you know that you're not white. Basically, they all 1319 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 4: merining in this, but I do want to pushback. 1320 01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 3: It annoys me. 1321 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,160 Speaker 4: I don't want us to just say, oh, it's a 1322 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,400 Speaker 4: bunch of spoiled white kids, because then we're practically indulging 1323 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,440 Speaker 4: the same thing. And it also I think it pushes 1324 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 4: a myth that black Hispanic Asian Democrat voters are not 1325 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,080 Speaker 4: going to vote for this if it becomes the new 1326 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 4: party orthodoxy. A lot of the time, the people who 1327 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,120 Speaker 4: back this in big cities, they're just they're part of 1328 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:11,400 Speaker 4: the Democrat patronage apparatus. They make sure that, oh, every 1329 01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 4: time a Democrat wins, we get a new pay raise 1330 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,880 Speaker 4: for public employees for you know, we get all these 1331 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 4: like union carve outs, like they're all part of this apparatus, 1332 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:22,559 Speaker 4: and they just don't want someone to mess it up. 1333 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 4: And that's usually the biggest reason I think they're not 1334 01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 4: getting on board with like really radical DSA stuff. They 1335 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,760 Speaker 4: just they think the current system's great. They don't want 1336 01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:31,880 Speaker 4: to mess it up too much. 1337 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 3: But it is very. 1338 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,920 Speaker 4: Revealing of how long the left has been stuck in 1339 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 4: this race. Cul de sac that when radical ideas pop up, 1340 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 4: the first thing that comes to mind is are the 1341 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 4: people pushing it white or not? The best argument against 1342 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 4: it is the people pushing it are insane and they're 1343 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 4: going to destroy America. That's how I feel about it. 1344 01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 2: Well, and here's my big problem with this. We talk 1345 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 2: about l SI ed a lot of our audience. Probably 1346 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 2: this is my fault in Blake's fault, sure, but we 1347 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:03,240 Speaker 2: don't talk about the Republican candidate enough. And so part 1348 01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 2: of this, you know, I do think you know, people 1349 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,320 Speaker 2: are now saying AOC's probably gonna run for president, and 1350 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 2: she's got this great chance to win. Part of her 1351 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 2: notoriety is because she was an easy punching bag for 1352 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,680 Speaker 2: us on the right, because she said all of these 1353 01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 2: obscene things. ELSI da saying it, mom Donnie saying, we're 1354 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,639 Speaker 2: making them more famous. But here's candidate Mike Rogers out 1355 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,879 Speaker 2: of Michigan, who has a real shot of winning, especially 1356 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,799 Speaker 2: if Elsi had wins the primary. Here it's Nott sixteen. 1357 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,719 Speaker 8: We think we do better against both. Have to remember, 1358 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,840 Speaker 8: I mean, one is obviously more radical. Abduel Is I 1359 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 8: think far too radical to be a serious Would he 1360 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 8: be a better match for you. I think we're going 1361 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,599 Speaker 8: to win on both of them. I'll tell you why. 1362 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:47,120 Speaker 8: They both support doing away with guest powered cars and 1363 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,719 Speaker 8: making you drive an ev the government man in Michigan. 1364 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 8: Oh yeah. They both believe that men should be in 1365 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 8: women's sports. They both believe in high taxes. They both 1366 01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 8: oppose the overtime taxes relief that the President gave us. 1367 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 8: By the way, we have three million Michigan working families 1368 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,040 Speaker 8: that are benefiting from no tax on overtime. They want 1369 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 8: to put it back. So those things are the same. 1370 01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 8: We can do very very well because we're making that 1371 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:17,240 Speaker 8: contrast of the high cost of living, poor education, loss 1372 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 8: of manufacturing jobs under Democrat leadership in Michigan. We're going 1373 01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 8: to change that. 1374 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 2: We got to get this guy over the finish line 1375 01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 2: in Michigan, and there are headwinds, Alex. This whole thing 1376 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 2: makes me think of a question for you, and I 1377 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,760 Speaker 2: just want to be very clear. I think the rise 1378 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 2: of DSA is a terrible development for the country. I 1379 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:39,839 Speaker 2: think it reveals an underlying rot within the body politic 1380 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:43,679 Speaker 2: that these ideas that have been tried historically and failed 1381 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 2: again and again and again and led to despair, destruction, 1382 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 2: and death and misery. In the twentieth century, they're being 1383 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 2: re imagined, reinvented. I think it's a terrible thing, but 1384 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 2: it does provide a political opportunity, at least in the 1385 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,320 Speaker 2: short run, while enough of us still have our senses 1386 01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 2: about us to fight this, and it could get people 1387 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,200 Speaker 2: like Mike Rodgers into the US Senate. Do you agree 1388 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:05,960 Speaker 2: or disagree? 1389 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 12: I totally agree. It is very high stakes, but it 1390 01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 12: does make it so that it is they're more beatable 1391 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 12: and we should be historically weak right now, but I 1392 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,000 Speaker 12: don't think we are because their candidates there're not charismatic, 1393 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:19,719 Speaker 12: and their ideology is not coherent. 1394 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,719 Speaker 10: That they're pro super gay, but. 1395 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 12: They're also pro Islamists now, which is random. And they 1396 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:27,559 Speaker 12: are socialists, but they want of an open border, which 1397 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 12: is impossible one or the other, but again of both. 1398 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,240 Speaker 12: And this racial stuff that Blake is talking about is 1399 01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,760 Speaker 12: really important here because it's really about coalition mobilization. It's 1400 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 12: not just about making all politics about race in a 1401 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,439 Speaker 12: dei sense. It's about they know in order to move voters, 1402 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,800 Speaker 12: they move blocks of people by race. And Carville is 1403 01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 12: making a claim the Democrat establishment is going to keep 1404 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 12: those races, those blocks of racial voters. So it's not 1405 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,559 Speaker 12: just about, oh, this sounds very woke. There's more to 1406 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 12: it than that. This is actual politics that we're talking 1407 01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 12: about here, and it is a big chance for Republicans 1408 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 12: because I don't I've haven't seen them this disconnected as 1409 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,639 Speaker 12: a movement in my whole life. 1410 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 3: Man. 1411 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 4: I don't think it's I don't think it's incoherent. I'll 1412 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 4: disagree with you there. They can be pro Islam, Islamist 1413 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 4: and pro LGBT. They can be pro open borders and 1414 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 4: pro socialism because both of those things are things that 1415 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 4: allow you to destroy America, destroy the things that made 1416 01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 4: it successful for so long. It's almost the politics are 1417 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 4: beside the point. What's really is it's the id, it's 1418 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:29,759 Speaker 4: the will to destroy. It's this resentment based gut feeling, 1419 01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,400 Speaker 4: and they'll seize anything that can. 1420 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 3: Let them tear it down. That's why it's scary. 1421 01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 4: But there is an opportunity to get great guys like 1422 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 4: Mike Rodgers into the Senate. 1423 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,400 Speaker 3: Alex, thank you for joining us. We'll see you very soon. 1424 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,519 Speaker 4: I'm sure check out your local WNBA team to make 1425 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 4: Andrew happy. 1426 01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:46,759 Speaker 3: We'll see all of you tomorrow. 1427 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 12: For more on many of these stories and news you 1428 01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 12: can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com
