Okay, so some people 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.479 watching the streams that they're panning over to me right now, 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.040 which is very I haven't seen that one before. All Right, 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.600 those of you in the radio audience probably wish I 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:54.160 came in a little bit hotter. But I'll get hot 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:55.800 I'll get We had a lot to do today. We're 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.040 we be talking about the Iron War. Got them updates there. 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.880 I'm gonna update the Joe Kent situation. I'll give you 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.400 a save Act update. We're talking a little more AI today. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.280 I just came back from some of the most bizarre 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.440 meetings that I've ever been witnessed to in my life. 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.679 In Silicon Valley. I'll give you some detail on that, 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.559 probably not a ton because of the most fit's off record, 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:14.960 but I got a lot of information, a lot of 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.360 very interesting information about what is the present in the 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.200 future when it comes to AI, and not all of 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.120 it's negative. Tell you that so well, some of that 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.880 on the show as well, plus a always always here 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.839 some variety by way of some James Tallerico unbelievable clips. 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.320 Got some of that to come later in the show. 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.959 But let's start the Joe Kent situation, which is Trump's, 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.280 one of top Trump's I think most popular amongst the 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.200 grassroots appointees. Someone who was a top player in our 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:47.720 intelligence community and intelligence space was resigned yesterday and did 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.320 so in a way that was designed to optimize attention 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.440 for himself. And all of it was under the auspices 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.320 of that Trump's war in Iran is not going well. 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.200 It's going badly. There's all these horrible things that are 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.800 taking place. And the problem is is that Joe Kent, 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.720 believe it or not, just a couple of weeks ago, 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.200 a couple of months ago, certainly a year ago, was 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.160 one of the people who was warning of the threat 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.360 of Iran, I want to play this cup for you guys. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.560 This has cut seven. Please from just seven months ago 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.160 on the very popular Sean Ryan podcast has played this, 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.480 please cut seven. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.760 To the direction that we're heading in right now unless 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.040 we make some serious changes. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.880 I mean, it's already I've already heard rumors that fifth 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.400 grew the audience here in the audio. No one's here 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.840 in the audio, okay, So can't laid out exactly how 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.400 much of a threat Iran is in this clip that 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.639 I'm attempting to play and hopefully I can play later on. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.600 And this is consistent with the way he's talked in 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.799 the past. In January of twenty twenty, definitely, I personally 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.080 think we should have crushed their ballistic and new capabilities. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.960 But Trump has a plan and he has definitely earned 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:02.399 the confidence of any clear eyed observe. Also, an interesting 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.200 thing that came across my feet on Next to Everything 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.040 app from Michael Tracy, who's a reporter, gets a lot 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.400 of good scoops. This is from twenty twenty three. Joe 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.399 Kent condemns attacks on Israel and Biden Perez's weak leadership. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.440 So he is talking about Maria prestern for the draft. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.120 Darnt they like? 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.120 That's that's the logical conclusion to the field. Unseat in 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.640 Congress is why he ended up in the administration. And 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.480 he was saying that Joe Biden and that administration made 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.200 the attack, the October seventh attack possible in twenty twenty three, 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.160 which is exactly what I argue in my research and 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.040 I've written skill. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.160 They're still registering for the draft, aren't they? 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.000 Why that's allowed for Hamas to feel empowered to engage 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.520 in that way? And Okay, we got the clip. Let's 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.040 play the clip. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.480 They're still registering for the draft, aren't they? 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:50.600 Like? 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.520 That's that's the logical conclusion to the direction that we're 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.880 heading in right now, unless we make some serious changes. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.000 I mean, it's already it's I've already heard. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.520 Rumors that fifth grew is going to be sundednized to 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:08.480 Iraq because of the escalated, yeah, situation with Iran. Now, yeah, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.480 I mean most Americans aren't aren't aware of it. We've 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.680 our troops in Iraq and Syria have been attacked one 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.840 hundred and fifty plus times by Iranian proxies. And when 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.599 we say Iranian proxies, we've got to be clear on 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.400 what that is. That's the Iraqi government that we pay 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.280 because after the Iraqi military we spent two trillion on 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.919 surrendered isis. We had to go back in there in 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.360 very short order and stand a military back up again. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.000 And guess who filled the breach. The SA malicious controlled 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:32.719 by Iran did. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.600 It is very well stated, and this is the whole 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.960 point that I've been noting for the last few weeks, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.120 is that every single attack on Americans and Americans allies 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.279 in the region, that Iranian money behind it. And believe 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.240 it or not, even some American money. Because a lot 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.640 of you are very skeptical of how we're doling out 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.320 our political welfare or whatever you want to call it, 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.400 to foreign nations, foreign aid, whatever it is, that we're 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.680 not being judicious enough and how we're and we could 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.680 be sending it to the bad guys, even bad guys 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.080 who wishould do his harm. Think about Joe Biden leaving 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.640 all of that weaponry in Afghanistan that's clearly been used 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.960 against Americans, against American allies. This has been our pattern. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.240 And so we need strong minded people who can see 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.240 evil and see that we need to oppose evil and 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.120 stand up to evil, but also we need to stop 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.920 funding some of this stuff in look into that at 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.960 a very minute level, and we're not doing so. We 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.400 thought Joe Kent was one of those guys, and all 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.800 of a sudden he's abandoned ships, specifically because he says 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.360 the US is being controlled by Israel, even though and 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.520 to read this quote, he in his condemnation of the 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.920 October seventh attack, he refers to Israel as an ally 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.640 multiple times, and he says he will not authorize one 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.160 cent of financial aid to Iran, and I will make 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.080 sure Israel gets the weaponry they need to keep themselves secure. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.200 So that's him seven months ago, this is him in 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.479 twenty twenty three and twenty twenty He's saying Iran nuclear 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.200 capabilities and ballistic capabilities need to be attacked. And that's 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.040 exactly what Trump is doing. And the more I'm thinking 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.040 about this war, the more I think that so many 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.240 people who I think generally aligned with me and a 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.120 lot of stuff are really succumbing to media doomerism and 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.400 are not actually paying attention to what's going on. There's 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.839 very loud chorus that we're already in a quagmire, that 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.600 Trump and no plan. But if you look at it methodically, 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.960 one day after the next, we keep taking out whoever 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.200 is the most important person. Overnight last night Israel took 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.320 out Iran's intelligence minister. But one thing that's interesting about 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.200 that is no one even knew who he was answering to, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.479 because we took out his boss, and his boss and 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.880 his boss. And now we're left with the cardboard cutout, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.760 the Gayetola, who was too dumb to be the iotola 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.440 according to his own dad. And we're acting as though 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.799 we're getting our clocks cleaned here, which is just not true. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.920 We've gone after its ballistic missile arsenal, We've gone after 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.400 the nuclear infrastructure, We've gone after Iran's air defenses. All 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.960 this effectively, we've gone after Iran's proxy command architecture. All 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.000 this stuff is essential to being able to declare victory 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.880 at some point. It's not us failing here. This is 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:10.040 us actually succeeding to some degree. To what degree is 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.640 it enough? I don't know. And the Trump administration is 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.800 not defined what victory looks like. I imagine that's strategic. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.800 And again I'm giving them a little bit of time. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.800 At least three months was kind of the number I've 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.240 in my head. Keep an eye on that summer when 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.760 an election season heats up, when the summer cruit comes in, 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.680 summer mix, the blend, whatever we call a formula, it's 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:35.440 going to drive up gas prices. But overall, we've had 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.280 decades of kind of efecklessness in terms of opposing Iran. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.000 They're enriching uranium up to sixty percent, which is there's 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.760 no civilian use for that. All this designed to destroy 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.120 America in our allies, and disrupt the global economy, disrupt 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:53.000 global peace, the world order, and to it ultimately advanced 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.360 radical Islam, which is not democratic, is very oppressive and 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.760 goes against all of our Western Judeo Christian democratic values. 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.360 One thing that's noteworthy to me and all this, that 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.120 I think is not being emphasized, is that there was 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.239 a report that was largely tied to the Iranian media, 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.760 who's not credible here that Chinese tankers are getting through 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.080 this straded war moves and our tankers are not, and 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.360 tankers going to the West, and that's part of the problem. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.600 But we're really relying on the word of the Iranian 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.320 government for that, which is not adequate. Of course, not 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.840 it's all propaganda, it's all fog of war. So if 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:35.120 we continue to decimate their defenses, their ability to rebuild 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:40.080 their leadership infrastructure, then I don't want us all mopen 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.120 around because we read something on social media that we 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.199 didn't like, and for Joe Kent to make this one 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.000 to eighty this quickly with only the explanation that we're 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.360 just taking orders from Israel, which I just don't see 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.080 how that's the case. I think Donald Trump has always 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.280 known that Iran is a major threat. And when you 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:03.160 see nuclear war as a imminent threat, as I know 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.320 the Trump administration does, and I believe correctly, then this 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.000 is the only approach that works, is to try to 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.480 do some damage quickly and then hopefully leave. Now we 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.160 haven't gotten the leave part, and I hope it happens soon. 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.760 And I don't know what Trump parameters are for victory, 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.800 and I'm looking forward to seeing that. But I just 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.200 want to emphasize that there's something up here going on 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.280 with Joe Kent. There's something going on. He's gonna speak 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.080 to Tucker Carlson to day. Let's see if they do 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.160 anything fair to get in the real nitty gritty of 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.440 what's going on here. But someone got to him. I 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.960 don't know how they got to them. I don't know 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.199 what other There's some other detail here in this algebra 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.120 problem that we're missing. There's another variable. There's either some 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.280 dirt on someone. There's either some fight, some beef, or 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.520 some broader ambition, maybe a bag of cash somewhere for someone. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.560 I don't know what it is, but there's something up 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.240 to see this sort of a one eighty, and I 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:54.680 want you to get cowed into it, to think that 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.320 we're somehow wildly losing when you're seeing devastating blow after 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.840 devastating blow from the Trump administry. If we can get 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.840 out soon to clear victory, be in great shape. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:03.719 All right. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:05.960 Israel is the hot topic right now, so I've been 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.760 opening pretty much every show with so many opinions and 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.880 emotions surrounding it, it can feel hard to know where 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.000 to start. Well, the Bible tells us I will bless 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.120 those who bless you. That isn't just a comforting promise, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.000 It's a clear calling from God, and today, with anti 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.320 Semitism rising around the world even here at home, that 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.959 calling is more urgent than ever. At a time when 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.400 Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats, and more 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.040 violence than ever. Christians have a powerful opportunity to respond 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.480 with God's love and to say you are not alone. 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.760 When Christians choose to bless Israel, we're not entering a 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.160 political issue.

He's 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.800 still cardboard cut out. He popped up for two seconds 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.560 and seems to be very very dumb from all the 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.079 reports that we can gather about him. And now there 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:34.319 are rumors that Mossud Pozeshkian, who is the president of Iran, 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.319 now wants to resign, and we don't know if that's true, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.040 so but it could be the case, but it certainly 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.520 doesn't seem like we're on the brink of losing the war. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.240 The whole trick is is that whether or not we 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.880 can open up that straight and the other thing is 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.960 is trying to keep an eye on are the Iranian 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.520 tankers going to China? Are those getting out? Because if 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:56.600 they are, that changes things, I think in terms of calculations, 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.559 because if China, which had a very rough year, They've 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.080 had a lot of problems in China and they continue that. 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.360 We continue every day bripe Oart News, we keep reporting 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.800 on all sorts of different bad news for China. One 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.160 thing that we got going on today is Afghanistan and 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.760 Pakistan are now officially at war, and these are belt 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.679 in road countries and now they're blowing each other up. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.720 China is on a terrible run here, so if they 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.120 can't get that oil, then this could lead them to 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.480 pressuring Iran and saying, hey, you're gonna have to relent here, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.079 because that is I think what's really sustaining Iran right 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.280 now is being able to ostensibly get oil to China. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.040 But that might not even be the case. We do 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.240 not have a good way of tracking this initial reports, 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.320 I don't trust them, and so now I think it's 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.400 an open question. Mark that down you're hear hearing here. First, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.679 I think it's an open question if China is actually 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.640 getting rainy and oil, and if they're not, then I 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.240 think we're in a much stronger position than the pretty 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.840 strong position I've already laid out. So you little faith. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:47.079 We got to give the president a little bit of 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.080 time on this. And I think people who are trying 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.720 to resign and then play up their resignations is just 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.439 undermining the war effort. And we are in a war. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.040 That's what it is. It's a hope it doesn't last 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.439 much longer, but it's what It is important to note 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.600 that stuff. Another thing, you a way, allies not stepping up. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.640 They never step up. They always underfind and underperformed. Trump 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.120 spoke about this a little bit. I don't play this 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.480 cut fourteen please. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.880 All of the NATO allies agreed with us, but they 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.560 don't want to, you know, despite the fact that we 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.280 help them so much. We have thousands of soldiers in 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.160 different countries all over the world, and they don't want 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.120 to help us, which is amazing, I mean amazing. And 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.360 I didn't do a full court press, because I think 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.200 if it did, they probably would be So I think 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.600 NATO's making a very foolish mistake. And I've long said that, 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.280 you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.080 be there for us. So this is a this was 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.360 a great test because we don't need them, but they 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:46.080 should have been there. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.920 Absolutely fantastic point. I've been a NATO skeptic for a 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:51.760 long time. I just don't trust that they would be 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.880 there for us when we need it and we do 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.640 fund it, And it just seems like the only time 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.240 NATO's in the news is when we're trying to remind 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.720 them that they're not pulling their weight, and that is 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.920 where we're at. And it feels like Trump is fighting 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:06.880 a war notches with Iran, but he's fighting on so 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.040 many fronts. He's fighting it. Of course with the pr 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.240 battle with our media. Democratic Party is not helpful. Obviously 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.680 reading against us in a lot of ways. Part of 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.440 the anti war right, who with whom I agree on 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.880 a lot of stuff, they're really trying to be very 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.560 negative here and very quickly doomers and I just don't 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.800 dig it. I just it's very tough to be able 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:28.960 to win these things, and you got to get the 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.680 present little bit of leeway here. And he's up against 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.640 so much NATO not helping as well. And I'll tell you, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.040 if Trump doesn't succeed here, you run the risk of 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.640 giving the country over to clowns like this. This is 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.200 games Tall Rico, who is running for senate in Texas. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:42.280 Can you play cut six please? 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:42.600 John. 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.160 We have I think heard more and more issues of 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.000 animal welfare. I think not just because it's the right 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.960 thing to do and the moral thing to do, but 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.960 also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.480 climate change. It is now existential that we try to 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.800 reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.400 animals in all aspects of society. And so I am 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:08.160 proud to say that our campaign has officially become a 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:14.600 non meat campaign. So we we are only buying vegan 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.720 products from from our local vegan businesses. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.120 The only vegan so no pizza either. So he's running 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.240 for senate in Texas. This is twenty twenty two, by 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.320 the way, this clip, he's double massed here, I think 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.680 in I'm sorry twenty two. Yeah, So this is like 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.320 two years after the pandemic got going. He's still got 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.880 the cloth mask on, which never worked for a second. Well, 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.080 he's speaking easily, socially distanced, and he is saying no 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.400 meat on the campaign the home of barbecue in America. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:41.320 No meat. 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.840 I'll tell you, when I have barbecue, I wash it 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.880 down with the die Coke. That's what I do. I've 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.400 been doing my whole life. That's the drink I grew 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.680 up with. It's the one that you gotta have at 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:56.600 a barbecue or whenever you're having your big day out. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.440 That is in the break room. It is how you relax. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.760 It is how you have that crisp case that just 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.280 cuts through that barbecue fat and sauce so good. The 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.240 iconic brands that made the American story Coke, Doctor Pepper, 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.920 diet Coke, et cetera. These have been making our history 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:13.840 for the last one hundred years. With everyone talking about 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.600 American jobs. These companies behind these beverages, they walk the 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.760 walk the whole time Americans. Beverage company companies making American 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.520 products with American workers in America's hometowns and the employee. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.840 Over two hundred and seventy five thousand men and women 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.080 in all fifty states. These are people who show up 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.000 every day, do the work and get you those Crispy 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.000 die Cokes you need with your barbecue. We deliver for 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.560 America dot org. To find out about these great companies. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.680 We deliver for America dot Org. Portion of the show 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.480 responsored by American Beverage Association. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:46.520 All Right, we. 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.159 Got one clip I want to share with you Rick 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.200 Renell talking about Joe Kenton his resignation, which I think 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.639 this was a pretty clear analysis what's going on. Grenell, 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:57.879 certainly fan favorite of the base, is one of the 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.920 most I think energetic of Trump's supporter, has been with 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.159 him for a long time, pretty trustworthy on this stuff, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.000 with great national security, foreign policy backgrounds. Play cut four 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:06.840 police guys. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.720 If you can't work for the President of the United 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.280 States and his policies or her policies in the future, 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.760 then what you have to do is get out of 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.160 the way. Because I don't have any patience for these 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.520 people who don't like the policy or don't want to 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.440 implement the policy. Well, then you shouldn't get paid by 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.320 the federal government. I think every single person who works 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.439 in the federal government should sign up to implement the 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.560 president's policy, and that if it's a Democrat or a Republican, 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:38.120 you have to implement the policy. But we have too 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.880 many people with big egos in Washington that somehow think 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.200 they get to stop the policy or I have an 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.439 opinion that matters, that's so. 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.960 Right on, and it's just the whole point is that 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.240 we have a democratic system where you elect an executive 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.399 chief executive. It's a president, he's got a vision for 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.560 this stuff, and then when he appoints you to stuff, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.679 it's not your job to grandstand. And if you're electing 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.640 your own district and you're representing a striking and feel 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:04.080 like you're carrying out those what your constituents want, that's 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.280 one thing. But when you're in an appointed position where 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.440 you're serving at the president's leisure and you're going out 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.159 of your way not only to resign, but to do 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.840 it in a way that's so self aggrandizing. This should 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.080 be off putting to people in this incredibly performative era 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.480 that I'm just so struck by this. It feels like 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.200 everywhere we go there's always performance art that's taking place, 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.200 and I just feel like we could use a little 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.040 bit less of this. I see this in the Hollywood 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.840 class I see this in the media class, and I 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.440 certainly see it in the political class. And it's time 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.240 to start acknowledging when this stuff is happening, pointing it 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.399 out and saying all these people are doing is grandstanding 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.159 really important stuff, okay. And the other thing is it 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.560 distracts from things that are really, I think quite important 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.639
