WEBVTT - Dems Understand Immigration’s Importance. Do Republicans? 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.600 More domestic terrorism in New York City focused on the 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.840 immigration issue. The American left, the Democratic Party, they understand 0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:09.959 the stakes when it comes to the all important issue 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.239 of immigration in America. Does the American rights understand two 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.320 Republicans understand? I'm not sure I know the answer. I'm 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:25.160 Josh Amer and this is the josh Amershaw. So another 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.320 day ending and why. In another attempted terrorist attack, this 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:32.280 happened on Monday in New York City, a deranged former 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:37.000 US Army soldier and National guardsman tried to set off 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:41.199 an incendiary device outside of a of a federal building 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.120 in what seems to be an anti Ice terror attack. 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.680 This happened on Monday. Thankfully no one was harmed by this. 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.360 He was described by the Assistant director in charge of 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.040 the FBI New or Field office as an anti American, 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.960 anti government extremist SAMI if you've heard this before, an 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.760 anti ice, anti border contro type of American anarchists, the 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.800 very kind of individual I would argue that has had 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.399 the fans flamed by talking heads on the left side 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.720 of our political divide for months and months and months 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.160 really for the better part of this entire administration. How 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.200 many times have you heard that ICE or Nazis, that 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:21.080 ICE or Gestapo that ICE are are here to do evil, 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.240 that they are not fundamentally a source of law enforcements, 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.000 And hold aside the debates, if it's even a debate 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.320 whether or not law enforcement is even inherently a good thing. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.080 After all, we're talking here about people who invariably believe 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.880 that defund the police, defund prisons, defund ICE. These are 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.520 all reasonably suitable public policy goals. It's beyond parody, but 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.480 unfortunately it is where we are at. Here was borders 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.600 are Tom Hollman on Fox News talking a little bit 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.800 more about this attempted domestic terroist attack outside of federal 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.639 building in New York City on Monday. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.560 Well, first of all, I appreciate the cameras from Mandami 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.160 and Jeffries, but too little, too late. They spent a 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:02.560 year attacking IE imparent ICE. So that's abotised ICE. Collar fascists, 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.640 Ice or Nazis, ICE are racist. ICE is a secret police. 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:11.239 ICE is in a real law enforcement agency. Fail to 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.880 comply with ICE. I see the signs that a protest resists. 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:18.080 So look, they have educated people that they can resist ICE, 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.559 and they hateful writer continues, which we've had some tragedies 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.080 recently because people didn't want to comply with ICE. So 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.880 this is yet another example today. What happened in from 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.920 the Federal Building is another example of attacking ICE. And 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.160 I'm sure if you ask that person why he did it, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.680 he can repeat the talking points I just said that 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.560 you hear from Democratic members of Congress, the Democratic mayors 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.120 and governors who simply want ICE to go away. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.000 And that ultimately is the proof in the pudding. When 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.320 you hear the motives come out of the maths, oftentimes 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.079 what they say is they are just mimicking and eighteen 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.720 the talking points of well be left wing and Democratic 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.160 Party people like those in the DSA, people like Zoramdani, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.560 people like alexandrow coswork Has, who invariably are calling for 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.440 open borders or frankly for no border whatsoever. But I 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.880 have to ask this, for the better part of two 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.800 years now, you guys have been calling for no borders. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.360 You've been calling Iice Gestapo's nazis that. What didn't you 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.680 think was going to happen? Aha? Perhaps you knew this 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.600 was going to happen. Perhaps you knew that you were 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.520 trying to incite people who are easily riled up to 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.760 do exactly the kind of things that this deranged former 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.400 Army soldier and National artsman tried to do in New 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.920 York City on Monday. Maybe that's actually the entire point 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.800 of this entire exercise. The same way perhaps that Democrats 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.400 in some measure, in some non negtile measure, failed to 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.280 condemn the assassination of the Night Healthcare CEO of Brian Thompson, 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.840 the same way they failed to universally condemn the assassination 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.480 of my friend Charlie Carr, the same way they have 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.520 universally failed to condemn all sorts of acts of either 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.960 real or attempted political violence, the same way that there 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.720 are so many today who were still calling for the 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.920 assassination of President Donald J. Trump. Perhaps, by that same measure, 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.680 this was an attempt, I'll be an implicit, silent one 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.840 to try to get some crazy person to commit some harm. Now, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.560 on the integration front, more generally, it is worth noting 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.839 that the tr administration is continuing to deliver results. So 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.960 there was a new release from the Department of Homeland 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.080 Security that came out last week on July sixteenth, I 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.760 actually just saw for the first time this morning. So 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:36.760 last week DHS and CBP Customs Border Protection announced fourteen 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:41.320 consecutive months of zero releases at the southern border. That 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:47.400 is absolutely positively astonishing, astonishing considering the depths of open 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.760 borders to pravity during the height the apex of the 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.440 Biden Harris regime, where you had millions people flung across 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.080 the border completely unvetted. We had no idea who the 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.000 heck they were. They were oftentimes criminals, they were raped, 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.520 they were transnational terrorists. We had no idea, absolutely no clue, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.280 no clue, and in our estimation here on the show, 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:07.839 that's one of the reasons why Trump on the election 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.200 was because of just how bad that border was. Fourteen 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.440 months now reports DHS and CDP of zero of zero 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.680 releases at the border. That is absolutely astonishing. Bill Malugan, 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.679 the Intrepid Immigration Center reporter over at Fox News, also 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.719 reporting on some new data from ICE. This data came 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.440 in just yesterday on a Monday, so Bill Malugan put 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.520 on x quote new ICE data dump reveals the agency 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.120 has carried out three hundred and fifty six thousand, three 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.600 hundred and nine deportation so far in fiscal year twenty 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.919 twenty six began last October first. That averaged out to 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:45.159 roughly twelve hundred and sixty per day. ICE currently has 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.719 sixty five and a half thousand people in ICE tension, 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.320 nearly forty thousand of whom have criminal convictions or pending 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.120 criminal charges. So the average deportations comes out, as it said, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.080 to one thousand, two hundred and sixty per day. That's 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.920 pretty good. There's definitely some room for improvement, I would 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.400 argue there, but that's pretty good as far as as 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.360 far as things go. Now, the politics of this are 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.920 are are super interesting. Recall that last week, as we 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.920 discussed with our guests Will Chamberlain recently last week, there 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.599 was a bit of this back and forth when it 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.160 comes to the Secretary of DHS, Mark Wayne Mullen. Mark 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.320 Wayn Mullen initially bowed to pressure, bowed to political pressure 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.400 from Maine and Texas. There were deaths as a result 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.640 of crazy people trying to shoot ICE agents, and Mark 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:33.640 Wayn Mullen said, let's stop the automobile pullovers, the detention 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.200 in vehicles, and then Trump comes off the top and says, actually, no, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.080 that's capitulation to the old warders left. We're gonna keep 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.479 on doing this forarhicular stops, So the politics of this 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.960 start to get very interesting. More on that in just 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.520 a segment for now. Folks that want to tell you 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.279 about our sponsor today's show, and our sponsor is Angel Studios. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.800 You know, we're living in a moment when conviction is 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.640 too often treated as a liability and silence is rewarded 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.239 over speaking the truth. That's one reason Charlie Kirk American 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.240 Martyr is such an important documentary. At its core of 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.039 this isn't a political story. It's the story of a 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.080 man whose faith shaped his public life, whose courage came 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.080 from his convictions, and whose legacy challenges all of us 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.000 to think more deeply about what it means to live faithfully. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.400 Charlie believed that our faith shouldn't be confined to the 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.320 pews over the weekend, but it should inform how we 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.120 engage the culture around us with conviction, humility, and purpose. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.480 Charlie Kirk's life raises a question every believer should wrestle with. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.800 When our values are tested, will we stand firm? If 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.000 you believe stories like this matter, go to Angel dot 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.920 com slash Hammer become an Angel Guild member today watch 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:40.360 Charlie Kirk American Martyr. It's new documentary out from Angel 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.200 Studios Again. Folks go to angel dot com slash Hammer 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.320 help bring more stories of faith, courage, and conviction to 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.560 audiences around the world. Angel dot Com slash Hammer join 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.000 the Angel Guild today. Angel Studios is the sponsor for 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.120 today's show. So another new initiative that is coming from 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.880 the immigration apparatus of Eatru administration. This time it's actually 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.160 coming from a DOJA, not from DHS. This was actually 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.440 just announced on Monday. Was a new press release came 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.240 out from the Part Justice on Monday that said called 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:12.680 the Trump Minstration continues the largest denaturalization efforts ever. So 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.040 the dj announced today that had filed denaturalization actions in 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.080 various US districourts against ten individuals accused of serious offenses 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.280 including sexual abuse of a child's healthcare and wire fraud, 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.440 immigration fraud, and conspiracy to possess with the intense to 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:31.080 distribute cocaine. So they are pursuing denaturalization, which, as you 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:32.800 can likely survived by the name, means that you have 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.479 a naturalized citizen and you're trying to strip them of citizenship. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.079 A lot of folks say this is a Nazi fascist tactic. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.360 Whatever it's not. There's a statute in the books that 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.160 it has been authorized in this for a century or more. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.840 It is a very very very old statute and it 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.640 frankly ought to be used. So there definitely are some 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.640 indications that deministration is leaning into this issue. After all, 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.720 you wouldn't have this press release coming out in the 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:59.080 summer of a midterm election year. You wouldn't have dhs 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.480 trump in the fact that the southern border is now 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.240 deeply secure. But on the other hand, there are some 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.960 worrying indications worrying us here on the show, that is 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.520 that many administration and many Republicans in general are backing 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.959 away from this issue. I just mentioned Mark Wayne Mullin's 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.280 convenience flip flop after Trump came over the top to say, actually, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.080 We're going to continue to engage in these vehicular detentions. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.040 When it comes to ice officers, I see nixed signals 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.240 more generally when it comes to elected officials on the 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.559 Republicans side of dial. When it comes to conservative consultants, 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.000 the kse Tree class, those in and around the Beltway. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.640 There's a lot of debates, and not all of it 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.559 is on one side when it comes to how much 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.760 the Republican Party and conservatives on the outside should lean 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.880 into the immigration issue this November. In other words, I 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.720 see something of a mismatch. Democrats have their ducks all 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.440 lines up in a row. They are totally in unison. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.680 They are in lockstep. They are in sync when it 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.600 comes to messaging the importance of this issue from they're 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:05.440 harrowing dystopian perspective. That perspective calls for no borders and 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.760 for free migrants, and for no ice and for no 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.440 law enforcem when it comes to enforcing immigration law. It's 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.800 anarchic and it is dystopian. But they're very clear understands 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.200 the match to that on the other side of the aisle, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.160 on the right side, should be crystal clear. It should 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:28.760 be borders, security, rule of law, law enforcement ultimately oriented 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:33.400 towards protecting the health, safety, and flourishing of the American 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.959 people and the American way of life. This is an 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.559 even broader point to make here, and it is as follows. 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.800 Demographics in some cases actually are destiny. Not all cases, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:49.280 but in some cases demographics Indeed, our destiny demographics is 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:50.800 doing a lot of the work here. I'm not saying 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.120 that racist destiny, God forbid, but I am saying that 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:59.199 if you are trying to maintain Americanism, cultural Americanism into 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.920 this next millennium, now that we've celebrated our tun and 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:06.480 fiftieth anniversary, it is crucial that we only bring in 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:11.360 new people here who not only love this country, but 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.760 have something to add, contribute, and will fit in seamlessly. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.760 Cultural compatibility is a sine qua non an indispensable condition 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.880 for the preservation of the American Republic and American way 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.480 of life into the next quarter millennium and beyond. I 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.760 don't hear many Republicans talk about this. Some do. Eric 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.240 Sreman Missouri comes to mind, the Senator who's a quite 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.520 good senator at that. Some of them do. Many of 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:40.040 them don't lean into this issue. Hispatus came over to 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.720 Republicans during the Trump era. That wasn't in spite of 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.840 Trump's immigration stance. It was because of it. They were 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.079 repelled by the open borders' policies. Yesterdyear, they saw no difference. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.760 Run on bold colors, run on a stark contrast to 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.640 the borders left Republicans might find out that if they 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.680 do so, they will get much more success then a 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.160 lot of the bed wedding castry consultants otherwise would think 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.120 would go to a quick breakflats. We'll be right back 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:13.640 with more on the other side. Welcome back. So ten 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.559 nights in a row that the United States has now 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.360 struck Iran. Now there is an Iranian official who flew 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.199 to islam Bot Pakistan to meet with Pakistani mediators. Stop 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.520 me if you've heard this one before. Pakistani mediator is 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.280 trying to reach some sort of a cord, some sort 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.959 of equilibrium between the United States and Iran. Again, it's 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.320 deja vu all over again, as the late Great Yogi 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.880 Bera would have said. Nonetheless, despite the fact that Iran 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.120 is meeting with some mediator, you've had ten straight nights 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.559 of the United States and Iran engaging in mutual crossfire. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.200 Just this morning, actually there was another blow, quite literally 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.160 and proverbially, you had another tanker, reports Trayanks to Fox 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.880 and there was another tanker that was hit off the 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.720 coast of Oman early this morning by the IRGC, by 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.320 the Iranian regime. And this tanker that was hit off 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.800 the coast of Amon. The crew had to flee and 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.400 abandon the vessel. Meanwhile, Iron continues to target American assets 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.960 and some non American just induscriminate civilian assets. All throughout 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.960 the region, places like Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, et cetera, et cetera, 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.679 et cetera, all remain under attack. So in short, this 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.960 thing is not showing much of an off ramp at 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.960 this time. And this is the pickle that Donald Trump 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.480 finds himself in, is he wants this war to come 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:31.880 to a swift conclusion. Apparently, these rumors that we've been 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.080 reporting here on the show that Trump is considering a 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.160 dramatic escalation, trying to immitize and end by going really 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.560 hard on the presidence to immanitize the end. By the way, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.720 who could have gone that crazy idea? Oh yeah, you 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.480 the listener of the viewer would have gone that idea 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.920 here on the show, if you were listening way back 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.040 in March. We've been saying that consistently for four months. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.320 But apparently the rumors is that President Frum himself is 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.920 now coming to that conclusion. So there's a possibility here 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.640 of a of a pretty dramatic escalation. We think over 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.079 the next call it week or two. It's very hard 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.000 to put a time frame on these things. But again, 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.040 as we meant yesterday there were a lot of American 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.880 refueling planes that were sent to the region. It seems 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.120 like there are chips on the board when it comes 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:19.080 to potentially finishing this war on something remotely resembling a 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:24.600 just and acceptable outcome for theministration. Meanwhile, Democrats are continuing 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.760 to essentially make fun of President's Trump. They see a 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.480 president who, as we've conceived here on the show, has 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.360 been a little bit all over the map when it 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.240 comes to his conduct and his waging of this war effort. So, 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.400 for instance, here was Senator Mark Warner who was on 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.960 CNBC who says that he thinks the presidents ought to 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.080 declare victory and get out of this war with the Ron. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.640 Here was Center Mark Warner on CNBC. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.120 Well, I think the president out of Claire victory and 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.320 get out of this war of choice, because if you 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:57.400 look at the four criteria he laid out at the 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.640 beginning regime change, well not so good. We got a 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.880 crowd that's worse than ever. The enriched uranium they've got it. 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.280 It would take fifteen thousand troops on the ground, probably 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.680 four over a week to extract it. I don't think 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.480 anybody wants that. The missiles and drones clearly they've got 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.600 that capacity. And what was so crazy is this administration 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.960 turned down the Ukrainian technology that has figured out how 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.960 on a cost effective basis to shoot down Iranian drones 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.280 and hey, straight to hormoes, you know, gases back at 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:31.560 four dollars, diesels above five. And our image in that 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.360 region in the world is that ourn all time low. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.000 Back to China. A pole came out last week showing 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.400 a China viewed more favorably than America around the world, 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.920 even amongst our biggest allies. A lot of this was 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.360 due to this folly of this war of choice. I 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.040 could tell you as a chair of former chair of 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.640 the Intel Committee, there was no imminent threat from Iran, 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.720 so it'll be embarrassing. But the president I had declared 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.720 victory and get out as smoothly as possible, So. 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.640 He is deeply exagering center more when it comes to 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.200 this phrasing of so called war of choice, Arad's been 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.040 trying to kill President Trump literally quite literally. There was 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.280 a Pakisan national currently sitting in a federal prison cell 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.880 in New York City because he was dually convicted by 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.040 injury of his peers for trying to do exactly that, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.920 to assassinate Trump on behalf of the Revolutionary Guard Corps. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:20.880 We know they've tried to take out members of the 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.560 Trump family, including his daughter Ivanka. They tried to take 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:27.280 out various former top officials, people like Mike Pompeo, people 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.520 like John Roland. So there's notion of a war of choice. 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.240 I totally reject that. Our view here on the show 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.120 is that Trump is trying to not start a new 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.000 forever war, but trying at times it seems to conclude 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.480 the forever war launched forty seven years ago by the 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.560 radical apocalyptic Islamist Mullas of the Azong Republic of Iran. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.120 Other than that, unfortunately, there definitely is some truth to 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.800 what Senator Warner is saying there. You only get so 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.640 many bites at the apple. You have to startready finish, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.480 otherwise you look like a paper tiger. 0:16:59.520 --> 0:16:59.920 He mentioned. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.720 I think back to the earlier days of this war 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.399 at the United States, after we launched the decapitation strike 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.360 against Iotola comment and it took him out. The People's 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.600 Liberation Army, the Army of China went a record breaking 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.280 amount of time without sending any military aircraft or vessels 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.280 into the Strait of Taiwan. In other words, they were subdued, 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:28.320 they were scared. They're not scared anymore. That's a problem. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.880 On a similar notes, here was Senator Chris Murphy, one 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.880 of Senator Warner's Democratic colleagues, who said on MS now 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.199 that Iran is not really scared of escalation because they 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.040 know the US will likely stop before they stop. Here 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:42.440 was Senter Murphy on MS now. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.399 There does not appear to be any path to passing 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.200 another reconciliation bill in the Senate. Senate leadership on the 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.920 building side is basically foreclose that option. And it's obvious 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.000 why they do not want to put Republican senators on 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.240 the record and support of this disastrous and unpopular war 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.800 just months before or the election. So there doesn't appear 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.480 to be a path to replenish the funds. And you 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.040 know what you saw today was some administration officials starting 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:15.879 to come out anonymously and say that this president's escalatory 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:20.520 strategy cannot work because there has been so much damage 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:25.439 done to US infrastructure. They're running out of interceptors that 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.600 they're going to put a lot more troops in danger 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.160 through this escalation because they can't protect troops any longer. 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.960 And the reality is, Chris, even if we gave them 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.280 a quick, short term infusion of money, they can't replace 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:41.359 these really complicated missiles and interceptors overnight. You know, we 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:45.199 make ten Tomahawks a year, I think. So they're in 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:48.240 a spot where, even with new money, they have put 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.639 our forces in really grave danger. And Iran knows that, 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.440 which is why Iran isn't really scared of escalation. They 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.840 know that the United States will likely have to stop 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.639 far before Iran has to stop. 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.480 Mister President, don't you want to prove their democratic doubter 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.840 is wrong? Don't you want that? Now? Trump, to his 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.480 great credit, had what seemed like to melate a great 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.200 mean this morning with President Yoseph I. Jun of Lebanon 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.879 that was there in the White House. Trump deserves a 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.679 lot of credit actually for trying to broker this dayton 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.840 between the United States, well really between Israel and Lebanon, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.120 with the United States doing the brok ring. We've mentioned 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:24.920 here on the show how This seems to be a 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.720 bit of a side by side, ancillary bit of diplomacy 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.080 broker primarily by Rubio and the state departments that happened 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:37.240 alongside the highly flawed run MoU. It's really promising thus 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:38.960 far what we have seen when it comes to Israel 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.240 and Lebanon. So thus far we've seen some Israeli troops 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.359 that have withdrawn from the so called pilot zones are 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.800 calling in these places where the Lebanese armed forces, the 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.080 conventional military of Lebanon is going in. Ultimately, all of 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.439 this is trying to secure the area from Hesbal, as 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.040 Trump said this morning with Yosef Iyjun. Ultimately it is 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.080 on Lebanon to enforce their make sure the Hess Bowl 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.080 is not a threat. When it comes to the Iran issue, though, 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.280 things could be heating up soon. So the WHO thies 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.840 this morning saying that they are opening potentially a new 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.440 blockade when it comes to the Red Sea that's in Yemen. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.199 So the whole region is escalating. A lot of this 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.600 was easily foreseeable. Again, the easiest thing for the President 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.080 United States to do at this particular juncture is to 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:24.119 prove the haters wrong, prove the doubters wrong, to find 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.480 some goals and then work backwards to achieve secure those goals, 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.480 and may it happen a sp because frankly, this is 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.160 already dragged on too far. If you'd ask me back 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.720 in early March whether we'd still be fighting Iran in 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.520 late July, I would have said no. I did not, 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.119 frankly see that come. So we're gonna have a very 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.320 interesting guest for you after our next Mercier break, and 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.200 it's gonna be a conversation primarily about Bernie Sanders and 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.000 the left. So I want to tee up that conversation 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.800 by playing this clip for you. This is Bernie Sanders 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.560 who was campaigning for a viciously, viciously anti not to say, 0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.920 is anti American? Can that abdu El Sayed? In Michigan. 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.040 This was happening earlier this week. Here was Bernie Sanders 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.240 campaigning for well and is a miss sympathizing candidates for 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:07.880 the US Nate out in Michigan. 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:14.040 We must not give one nickel more of US taxpayers 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:30.720 to the extremist government in Israel. Not another nickel now 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.840 a pac Man not like that. But that is what 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.720 the American people want. They want to tord Mets that 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:41.800 education childcamp not goard. 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.800 Ah. Yes, he says, they're all campaigning for Abdul el Sayad, 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.240 a Muslim candidate so radical that he said he would 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.200 not condemn Ayotola commedy because it might offend his constituents. 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.280 That's who Bernie Sanders is campaigning for. Both of We're 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:57.919 going to go to a short commercial break and then 0:21:57.920 --> 0:21:59.680 this I'm going to bring on a guest who has 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.639 a thing or two to say about his former boss, 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.200 Bernie Sanders. Joe Rubin joined us after the break, Stay 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:11.399 with us, Welcome back. So the longtime followers of this 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.280 program know that we typically engage a conversation with folks 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:16.960
