Speaker 1: recommend to my family, friends and viewers. Visit Lear Alex
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: Ready to break the narrative, get the real story with
Speaker 2: no filters and no apologies. Cut through the noise with
Speaker 2: real conversation, real conviction, and real news.
Speaker 3: It's time for truth without spin. It's the Alex Marlow Show.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: The most meaningless DHS government shutdown is about to end.
Speaker 1: The House likely to pass a compromise Senate bill that
Speaker 1: got approved last night. I'll give you the details, give
Speaker 1: to you right now. One thing that we're seeing here
Speaker 1: is a cave for Republicans, as was probably inevitable. Democrats
Speaker 1: very good at standing together, holding the line, and John
Speaker 1: and his Republicans have agreed to a bill that excludes
Speaker 1: funding for ice and border protection customs and border protection.
Speaker 1: But after mitt, it's not a lot of funding because
Speaker 1: the vast majority of it was already funded by the
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. So I don't like the optics of
Speaker 1: the cave. But overall, if you look at what's happening
Speaker 1: right now, we had a seventy five billion dollars supplemental
Speaker 1: funding to the already ten billion dollars in funding four
Speaker 1: ICE in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. So ICE
Speaker 1: is tonning it in revenue right now. But they did
Speaker 1: not get the full funding that was allocated, which the
Speaker 1: Democrats will chalk up to a win, and people like
Speaker 1: you should be probably disturbed to the Republicans can't hold
Speaker 1: together even on fundamental stuff like that. So remember the
Speaker 1: Democrats imposed this shutdown, partial shutdown, which meant tsa workers
Speaker 1: about fifty thousand in total, we're working without pay. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump announced yesterday at a cabinet meeting that he intends
Speaker 1: for them all to get back pay. Those who hung
Speaker 1: in there and kept working. Many have missed at paycheck.
Speaker 1: Another payday was supposed to be today. Be a string
Speaker 1: to see if all those paychecks get out. Probably probably
Speaker 1: does not. Hundreds of quit and so all this has
Speaker 1: caused a lot of people that there's spring breaks kind
Speaker 1: of ruined. But the compromise right now is that Department
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security was suffering, and not just from the
Speaker 1: ICE funding, but SISA, Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency, Secret Service,
Speaker 1: and Customs of Border Protection all complained that they had
Speaker 1: not had enough funding, which could lead to degraded readiness.
Speaker 1: It could lead to higher risks of staffing shortages, strange
Speaker 1: counter terrorism capabilities, which is not great during the war.
Speaker 1: So it was inevitable that there was going to be
Speaker 1: some way for this thing to get opened up. But
Speaker 1: remember the Democrats, despite the fact that ICE was practically
Speaker 1: fully funded, tried to inconvenience the entire country to take
Speaker 1: this grand stand. And I'll tell you know when it's
Speaker 1: a grand stand, because that's when Corey Booker starts talking.
Speaker 1: And just for no good reason, he showed up at
Speaker 1: an airport. I think this was in Newark. I got
Speaker 1: to play this clip for all of you. If you're
Speaker 1: not seeing the visuals, I highly recommend subscribe the show
Speaker 1: on YouTube or Rumble or watch it on Salem NewsChannel
Speaker 1: the evening because you're gonna miss this cup five. Please
Speaker 1: guys the hell.
Speaker 5: Out of our airporvis Donald Trumps born chaos into our airport.
Speaker 4: In New Jersey. This is his way of doing things.
Speaker 5: Chaos, school team and corruption.
Speaker 1: Okay, positive, So he's got the visuals just beyond believe.
Speaker 1: He's got the whole the podium out, He's got some
Speaker 1: sort of a seal on I can't quite make out
Speaker 1: the exact seal. And no one's there. No one's there,
Speaker 1: there's no lines at this airport is not backed up
Speaker 1: at all. No one's watching Corey Booker speak. He's got
Speaker 1: a book coming out where he talks about how he
Speaker 1: gave that record speech in the Senate floor which was
Speaker 1: literally meant nothing. It wasn't even a filibuster. He honestly
Speaker 1: thinks the whole point of the Senate is just to
Speaker 1: talk and to say nothing. He should podcast. Maybe I
Speaker 1: could do a spin off show with him, Marlow and Booker.
Speaker 1: He would be a good show. We need more debate,
Speaker 1: he seems. Smiley's like a happy guy. Then what ahead
Speaker 1: of Scalp he's got as well. So just I love
Speaker 1: the optics of this, I'll give me a little more.
Speaker 5: Team and corruption that is visiting upon us now that
Speaker 5: scot Trump's bill fund TSA and has ice into our
Speaker 5: airport line get ice out of our airports. It's not
Speaker 5: good for our customers, it's not good for food.
Speaker 1: I would love to be a fly on the wall
Speaker 1: for that, just to see it take place. The fact
Speaker 1: that he's just speaking to no one. But anyway, still
Speaker 1: a cave from Republicans because they did not get everything
Speaker 1: that Trump wanted in the bill. I'm sure Trump won't
Speaker 1: be happy about this, likely past the House, and then
Speaker 1: we'll try to get more funding for ICE and other
Speaker 1: security measures in a reconciliation that will take place down
Speaker 1: the road. So that's where Ad Schumer praise Democrats. No
Speaker 1: blank check for a lawless ice and border patrol. This
Speaker 1: is the whole thing is they regard those that enforce
Speaker 1: our federal law as lawless. This is the gas lighting
Speaker 1: the Democrats do. They tell you that the people who
Speaker 1: are tasked with enforcing some of our most important laws
Speaker 1: are immigration and custom laws, those are the ones who
Speaker 1: are violating the law. The lying is just at a
Speaker 1: whole new level at this moment in Donald Trump's administration.
Speaker 1: But just recall that ICE was basically fully funded. Dendrew
Speaker 1: using the TSA workers and your travel plans is leverage.
Speaker 1: And all of this was for what to protect illegal
Speaker 1: alien criminals because they didn't like the surge of ICE
Speaker 1: that took place after all the leering centers were revealed
Speaker 1: in Minnesota and elsewhere. I started yesterday's show, I walked
Speaker 1: through at one legal alien violent crime after the next
Speaker 1: in this country this month. We need bigger ice presents,
Speaker 1: we need more ice funding, we need bigger crackdowns, and
Speaker 1: we also do need Republicans with the spine. This one
Speaker 1: I got admit, it feels like the sort of lower stakes,
Speaker 1: this cave. But the fact that the border is not
Speaker 1: being fully funded is a shame because it is imperative
Speaker 1: that we convince the public in order to make America
Speaker 1: a safer, more prosperous place. It starts with border protections
Speaker 1: and border enforcement. And sadly, it feels like at least
Speaker 1: twenty maybe even forty, maybe pushing even forty five percent
Speaker 1: of the country regard it as racist or insensitive or something.
Speaker 1: Just to enforce our border laws. We're the only country
Speaker 1: on earth that does not have a right to have
Speaker 1: a border, according to the Democrats that lead that party.
Speaker 1: So that's where we start the show today, and next
Speaker 1: I'll give in I Ran War update. So the Pentagon
Speaker 1: is apparently prepping a massive final blow versus Iran. It
Speaker 1: could involve taking this strategic carg island. It could be
Speaker 1: mean sending ten thousand combat troops. So that is the
Speaker 1: ground invasion that we had long feared could happen. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, all of this, to me is negotiating
Speaker 1: tactic from Trump. Trump wants to remind people over and
Speaker 1: over again that he is willing to do whatever is necessary.
Speaker 1: It's why even though that on a personal level, I
Speaker 1: don't like the idea of a ground war, I predict you,
Speaker 1: I particularly don't like the idea of one that lasts
Speaker 1: passed the spring. But Donald Trump is never going to
Speaker 1: tell you I will not do that. He will only
Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, I'm willing to do that. I'm willing
Speaker 1: to be completely crazy, which is ironically not crazy. It's
Speaker 1: a not crazy thing. That is to say. What is
Speaker 1: crazy is to announce these are we won't cross in
Speaker 1: order to pander politically domestically. And I must say he
Speaker 1: looks very confident. He had a cabinet meeting yesterday and
Speaker 1: he was just absolutely hilarious on this and then he
Speaker 1: called into Fox News right after the five and he
Speaker 1: was making a lot of jokes. This is one that
Speaker 1: I just irresistible. Cut four please, gentlemen, you kind of
Speaker 1: suggested that we knocked out Iotola Junior?
Speaker 4: Have we?
Speaker 1: And did the CIA tell you that Iotola Junior's gay?
Speaker 6: Well, they did say that, but I don't know who
Speaker 6: was only them, But I think a lot of people
Speaker 6: are saying that, which puts him off to a bad
Speaker 6: start in that particular country.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: So just in case you guys didn't follow that, the
Speaker 1: President United States said that puts him off to a
Speaker 1: bad start in that particular country. I mean that is,
Speaker 1: if you're on the golf course with your buddies and
Speaker 1: they let one loose like that, you'd be doubled over.
Speaker 1: And this is our president call him TV making fun
Speaker 1: of the gayetola just because hey, he's in Iran. It's
Speaker 1: not a good star in that country. When me leader
Speaker 1: that country is probably a bad thing.
Speaker 6: I have to smile to myself when I say, I
Speaker 6: see people trying to defend the Palestinian regime for women,
Speaker 6: women for Palestine, but they kill women. If you don't
Speaker 6: wear a certain group of if you don't wear a
Speaker 6: certain cloth all over your face, you have no chance
Speaker 6: of living. And you know when I look at gays
Speaker 6: for Palistine, but they kill gays, They kill them instantly,
Speaker 6: they throw them up buildings. And I'm saying, who are
Speaker 6: the gays for Pealasin And they have a significant amount
Speaker 6: of gays for Pelisin. Now, I think when you know,
Speaker 6: I did very well with the gay vote. Okay, I
Speaker 6: even had I even played the Gay National anthem as
Speaker 6: my walk off okay, and I think it probably helped me.
Speaker 6: But I did great with no Republicans ever gotten the
Speaker 6: gay vote like I did, and I'm very proud of it.
Speaker 6: I think it's great. Perhaps it's because I'm from he.
Speaker 1: Is the chat eptis playing it to me like I'm
Speaker 1: an eighth grader or something. I mean, he speaks so plainly,
Speaker 1: but it's also clear these are not great countries to
Speaker 1: be gay. And not only is he pro gay that
Speaker 1: he has the YMCA as his the Gay National anthem
Speaker 1: as his walkoff song. He loves that song. So Trump
Speaker 1: rides for the gays both in Iran, in Palestine and
Speaker 1: here in the United States. Palistine not a real place,
Speaker 1: by the way, it is the Palestinian territories. We'll call him.
Speaker 1: I'll be careful here, you guys. Roast me in the
Speaker 1: my email Aloha Alex Marler dot com. Always welcome a
Speaker 1: good roast there. All more war updates when we come back.
Speaker 1: But obviously that's not a president who seems pretty confident
Speaker 1: and what he's doing, and that is reassuring. He's supposed
Speaker 1: to play that part on TV, but it is reassuring.
Speaker 1: I don't see the thing up there, guys, but I
Speaker 1: can tell you about my friends over at the International
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews, which just are doing incredible work.
Speaker 1: I spoke to Yael Exstein, who is a amazing person.
Speaker 1: She runs the organization, and they're in the heart of
Speaker 1: the matter trying to build literal bomb shelters for people.
Speaker 1: So they're trying to actually make it not only so
Speaker 1: that there are supplies to the basic aid food for
Speaker 1: people in need there, but they're actually building bomb shelters
Speaker 1: and they putting them in places like bus stops things
Speaker 1: like that, so that people if there is a missile
Speaker 1: attack while they're going through their lives, they can just
Speaker 1: hop right into a bomb shelter and they'll be safe.
Speaker 1: This is a very great cause and the are doing
Speaker 1: deep work that is necessary right now as Israel is
Speaker 1: torn by war. And so maybe you're thinking the elderly person,
Speaker 1: maybe you think of a family with children in your life,
Speaker 1: but we want people to be able to work in
Speaker 1: Israel and to thrive there because it's an amazing place.
Speaker 1: The one democracy, the place where you would want to
Speaker 1: be if you're in the Middle East without a doubt,
Speaker 1: is Israel, and we want to help them out as
Speaker 1: best we can. So act now. Please give forty five
Speaker 1: dollars right now, rush life saving essentials to the vulnerable
Speaker 1: people there under fire eight eight eight four eight eight.
Speaker 1: IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight. IFCJ you can
Speaker 1: go online, IFCJ dot org, IFCJ dot or give forty
Speaker 1: five dollars now. It's the least you can do. You're
Speaker 1: just feeling just a touch sleepier today, And then I'm reminded,
Speaker 1: do you know what Donald Trump likes to do? He
Speaker 1: likes to blow stuff up over the weekend. You know,
Speaker 1: I think this is my theory is it's because it
Speaker 1: doesn't move markets as quickly because stock market is not open,
Speaker 1: so people can have an overreaction and then start thinking, well, wait,
Speaker 1: what's he trying to do here? Was it successful? And
Speaker 1: they could dial it back in. So Saturday is bombing
Speaker 1: day here or late Friday night in the Donald Trump era.
Speaker 1: So pay attention this weekend, ladies and gentlemen, because there
Speaker 1: could be some good stuff that's happening in terms of
Speaker 1: maybe bringing this war to a close, maybe one last
Speaker 1: great show of force and start wrapping this thing up.
Speaker 1: That'd be nice to hear, even though I do feel
Speaker 1: like we're probably going to see a couple of more
Speaker 1: weeks of fighting, particularly in Iran. We're seeing that Iran's
Speaker 1: primary sea mins facility has been hit by an Israeli airstrike.
Speaker 1: That's positive. We're also seeing Brent oil topping one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten dollars again, and the reason why is because
Speaker 1: actually Chinese ships have been turned away from the trade
Speaker 1: of war moves. These ships are not just Chinese ships
Speaker 1: that are delivering oil specifically to China. A lot of
Speaker 1: them actually of goods that are Chinese goods that will
Speaker 1: be going towards America. But what's noteworthy here is that
Speaker 1: this actually will hurt China, and Iran's probably not happy
Speaker 1: with China right now because China is not really stepping
Speaker 1: up for Iran. So Iran and China not natural allies.
Speaker 1: Iran and Russia not natural allies, but they are allies
Speaker 1: by convenience and commerce at this point in time. And
Speaker 1: I think this is an opportunity for Trump to seize
Speaker 1: on this because Iran just seems very isolated in the world,
Speaker 1: China not lifting a finger, which they're not, Russia not
Speaker 1: really helping out very much as well, and now clearly
Speaker 1: Iran unhappy with China to stop these particular ships. It
Speaker 1: has sent oil prices up, which is a big cause
Speaker 1: for concern and all the more reason we have to
Speaker 1: wrap this stuff up quickly. But I feel like the
Speaker 1: Trump administration gets it. I'm not holding out. I'm not
Speaker 1: I am holding out hope for that. The Secretary of
Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio has got great command of what the
Speaker 1: sort of dividing lines are when it comes to our allies,
Speaker 1: allies around the world, and he was speaking about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: I think a little pull aside with the press, it's
Speaker 1: cut three pleases, play this please.
Speaker 2: In the United States is contently being asked to help
Speaker 2: an a war, and we have more than any other
Speaker 2: country in the war in the world on a war that's.
Speaker 1: Happening in another continent in the Ukraine. But when the
Speaker 1: US had a need, he didn't get profits positive responsibily.
Speaker 2: Right now he's just making the observation.
Speaker 1: Then, you know, I think there was a couple of good.
Speaker 6: Leaders in Europe said that this was not Europe for
Speaker 6: or Ukraine is not an America's.
Speaker 2: War, and you know we've contributed more to that fight
Speaker 2: than any other country in the world. So it'll be
Speaker 2: something to book, tam and where you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: take into.
Speaker 4: Account down the road.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's a great summary, and it's something to
Speaker 1: note that if you are a NATO nation and you
Speaker 1: did not step up, you're not trying to help, you're
Speaker 1: not trusting Donald Trump's leadership, then we're gonna note that
Speaker 1: and just the next time you need our help because
Speaker 1: you guys can't protect your own freedom without us, then
Speaker 1: it will processed. This information very important to understand that.
Speaker 1: The other big story of the day is, of course,
Speaker 1: the DHS funding bill that the resentate Republicans allowed through.
Speaker 1: They're gonna hold out hope they're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: get the remaining ICE fundings DHS funding through in a
Speaker 1: reconciliation package that will take place in presumably a few
Speaker 1: weeks or a month or so. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: hold my breath that's in Washington. Typically, if things don't
Speaker 1: happen right away, you can't count on them happening. Ever,
Speaker 1: and I just want to remind you of who the
Speaker 1: type of people who won this round. This is a
Speaker 1: gentleman named Eric Swaalwell, congressman is also running for governor
Speaker 1: here in California. I'm gonna play cut too, please.
Speaker 4: I don't want to give a penny more to TSA
Speaker 4: or DHS, even if they are already funded, because what
Speaker 4: I'm hearing from constituents and what I'm seeing is that
Speaker 4: they're dragging women by their hair, throwing him into unmarked vans,
Speaker 4: chasing people through the fields and factories where they work.
Speaker 4: They've committed public executions, two of.
Speaker 1: Them, mister Swalwell, I don't recall TSA being accused of
Speaker 1: pulling anyone by the hair and committing public executions. You
Speaker 1: didn't even know what he's talking about, just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a camera, let me in front of it. I've
Speaker 1: seen him in person Swallwell at a media hit in
Speaker 1: the past, and the guy just loves looking at himself
Speaker 1: in the camera.
Speaker 7: That's what he likes.
Speaker 1: He is a real narcissist. And just the thought of
Speaker 1: this guy running the state of California, it would be
Speaker 1: almost impossible. Aside from this is our current governor let's
Speaker 1: play cut six please, guys.
Speaker 2: So to be clear, the next president, whether it's President
Speaker 2: Newsom or someone else, you think, needs to elevate the debate,
Speaker 2: but also ensure accountability legal accountability for anyone who broke
Speaker 2: the laws.
Speaker 7: It's yeah, I think you have to knit that back
Speaker 7: and you have to do both because you because you,
Speaker 7: by definition, are doing both. It's not weaponizing grievance. It's
Speaker 7: not pursuing retribution in the spirit that defines Trump and
Speaker 7: Trump is and it's not about vengeance in that respect.
Speaker 7: It's not that. It's simply about accountability. That the chips
Speaker 7: fall where they may.
Speaker 1: So he wants a legal accountability. That was John Avalon
Speaker 1: who introduced that. Who's one of these guys who acts
Speaker 1: like he's a moderate but is agrees with Democrats in
Speaker 1: every issue it is. This is exactly why I wrote
Speaker 1: Breaking the Law. I'm warning all of you if you'd
Speaker 1: understand that the legal system is designed right now, many
Speaker 1: components of it, to stop Donald Trump. That is your
Speaker 1: number one goal. It is the number one resistance against
Speaker 1: Trump is the law fair apparatus. And you've mainstream Democrats,
Speaker 1: the guy who's the governor of the biggest blue state
Speaker 1: and is leading the presidential polls for Democrats, suggesting that
Speaker 1: we're going to have legal accountability for Donald Trump. Presumably
Speaker 1: people in Trump's orbit. They're coming after you. They're coming
Speaker 1: after Trump. They're never going to stop until all of
Speaker 1: us are debanked, deplatformed, and in jail. That's the warning
Speaker 1: I've got for all of you today. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back with more on the Alex Marlow Show. Candles were
Speaker 1: lit on Bandai Beach by families, by children, by people
Speaker 1: of faith to celebrate a festival of Light, a festival
Speaker 1: from Bible Times, one that Jesus himself celebrated, but instead
Speaker 1: of light, there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred, showing itself
Speaker 1: at a time meant for prayer and rejoicing. Times like
Speaker 1: this remind us that even with the ceasefire in Israel,
Speaker 1: Jewish people are being targeted simply because of their faith,
Speaker 1: and times like this remind us why the International Fellowship
Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews exists to stand in the gap,
Speaker 1: providing safety and security to God's people. The Fellowship brings
Speaker 1: together Christians and Jews to be a light to suffering
Speaker 1: Jews in Israel. The former Soviet Union or wherever the
Speaker 1: needs are greatest. Your gift today will provide the security
Speaker 1: the God's people so desperately need. Visit urgent I f
Speaker 1: CJ dot org. That's one word, urgent if CJ dot org.
Speaker 1: Or call now at eight six six three three eight
Speaker 1: I f c J. That's eight six six three three
Speaker 1: eight four three two five. All right, we're back on
Speaker 1: the show. Pretty exciting weekend ahead for me. I'm heading
Speaker 1: to an Evan see some of my colleagues and me
Speaker 1: on the stage with Larry Elder a event called Unite
Speaker 1: Ie Conservative Summit. Hopefully we'll get some coverage of that
Speaker 1: for you. But I was thinking about the state of
Speaker 1: my home state, where we have formulated this idea that
Speaker 1: we have a country that is running in one direction
Speaker 1: and we're going to run the absolute opposite direction. More woke,
Speaker 1: higher taxation, open the borders, LGBTQ for everyone. Is the
Speaker 1: state salvageable. I'm gonna be talking about that. I'll try
Speaker 1: to get some clips of that. But we have our
Speaker 1: guests here. Is that the situation. Okay, good, Okay. We
Speaker 1: got Carlo Sants here who's with us. She's from the
Speaker 1: she's formerly from the Trump administration. Where she was the
Speaker 1: Ambassador to Greenland and now works for the America First
Speaker 1: Policy Institute as the chair of their Foreign Policy Initiative. Carlic,
Speaker 1: great to have you on. Thanks you for being with me.
Speaker 3: Hey, it's great to be with you.
Speaker 8: Alex And I just have to say I was actually
Speaker 8: the ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. I don't want
Speaker 8: to tick Denmark off that I don't give them credit
Speaker 8: because I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: They're in charge of Greenland in the Paroe Islands.
Speaker 5: No, no word.
Speaker 1: Well, you know where I want to go first, I
Speaker 1: have kipped my hand. Can we get Greenland please? Like
Speaker 1: I want to get it? Like? Can we get it?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 8: I thought that maybe there would be some kind of
Speaker 8: compromise that Denmark would get, but after seeing what you
Speaker 8: can did with our Diego Garcia base and Chego's Islands,
Speaker 8: I think we have to go hard on this and
Speaker 8: make sure that we have control of Greenland because we
Speaker 8: don't know what the Government of Greenland will do down
Speaker 8: the road. They want to make a deal with China
Speaker 8: if we're not there with our handout with a lot
Speaker 8: of money and investment. So they play both sides, the
Speaker 8: Government of Greenland and they're going independent. So I think
Speaker 8: you're right, Alex. I think we have to get a deal,
Speaker 8: and the UK has shown us we really can't trust
Speaker 8: even our closest friends.
Speaker 1: Well, this is what's interesting. Are we just playing the
Speaker 1: Secretary of State complaining about how no one NATO's lifting
Speaker 1: a finger with Iran. We're dealing with maybe the most
Speaker 1: evil regime on the planet. And I do want your
Speaker 1: thoughts in the Iran war here momentarily. And I'm someone
Speaker 1: who's generally not a I'm America first guy, like I
Speaker 1: don't want us doing interventionist wars, particularly the ground troops
Speaker 1: all around the world. But I mean, come on, they've
Speaker 1: been trying to enrich nuclear weapons. They want to use
Speaker 1: them against US, at a minimum for leverage and a
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, of course they would deploy it against
Speaker 1: does Nuclear war is not a joke. This is not
Speaker 1: some sort of figment of our imagination. They keep saying
Speaker 1: they want to do these things. Trump is trying to
Speaker 1: address it, and we can't get a single NATO nation
Speaker 1: to do anything. I mean, you twist maybe the UK's arm.
Speaker 1: They'll do a little bit, but that's not adequate and
Speaker 1: it's kind of scary, isn't it.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 8: It's scary because we've been funding NATO's defense for decades.
Speaker 8: We've actually been funding Europe in so many ways. Look
Speaker 8: at the trade deals. They gave them all the leverage
Speaker 8: and gave us almost none. Over the decades, we've really
Speaker 8: carried their weight. And now President Trump, after President Obama,
Speaker 8: did the same thing, asked them to you know, arm
Speaker 8: up and actually become capable allies, which is he even
Speaker 8: said that in his recent National Security strategy. We can
Speaker 8: see that they're not They're not stepping up. They're saying,
Speaker 8: this isn't our war. We have been there for them
Speaker 8: for decades. We kept we saved their hides in two
Speaker 8: world wars our time. American taxpayers took care of them.
Speaker 8: And they're not speaking German because of you and I
Speaker 8: and our and our ancestors.
Speaker 3: So what does that mean.
Speaker 8: It means NATO needs to step up when the US
Speaker 8: needs them. And this is a righteous cause. You know
Speaker 8: that the Iranian mallis from the pulpit and from the
Speaker 8: podium have officially said death to America. They're working on
Speaker 8: a nuclear bomb. They are a suicidal revolutionary group with
Speaker 8: crazy religious beliefs.
Speaker 1: And then they have.
Speaker 8: Those long range missiles. Now they're medium range, but they're
Speaker 8: working on long range. They lied and said they couldn't
Speaker 8: go that far, only two thousand kilometers, and now they
Speaker 8: hit right by Diego Garcia, so they actually can hit Europe.
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 8: It means President Trump was right and every US president
Speaker 8: before him showed fecklessness when it came to the world
Speaker 8: state sponsor of terrorism that threatened the people of the
Speaker 8: United States every single day.
Speaker 3: Officially, death to America is what they said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, So first off, what do you think
Speaker 1: is best case scenario for us? Because I think, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at oil prices, looking at some of the political
Speaker 1: headwinds we've got domestically, we want this thing to move quick.
Speaker 1: What do you feel like are the necessary steps in
Speaker 1: Iran where you feel like Trump can declear victory, we
Speaker 1: can move on with our lives.
Speaker 8: It's a great question because the American people want President
Speaker 8: Trump to focus on them and their well being, but
Speaker 8: he is.
Speaker 3: He can do two things at the same time. Let's
Speaker 3: not forget.
Speaker 8: He got that one big, beautiful bill passed with the
Speaker 8: help of the Speaker of the House, and that is
Speaker 8: helping every single American. Our tax refunds are bigger this year.
Speaker 8: They're almost four thousand dollars on average for the American family.
Speaker 3: But also if you have a small business, you.
Speaker 8: Can expend one hundred percent and then there's no tax
Speaker 8: on so many things like things like tips or medicare,
Speaker 8: and there's like a gazillion other things that are benefiting
Speaker 8: every single American in that bill that we're just going
Speaker 8: to start to unwrap this year as we learn more
Speaker 8: about it, because it's so gigantic. It's the biggest tax
Speaker 8: reduction in the history of our country. But this war
Speaker 8: is necessary. It's a righteous war. And I can remember
Speaker 8: being in the Bush White House and having his head
Speaker 8: of National Security reef me and tell me when he
Speaker 8: said they were enriching uranium and they were going to
Speaker 8: make a bomb, and they were already saying death to America.
Speaker 8: It's not that long ago, maybe twenty years ago or so.
Speaker 8: And I said, well, are you going to use the
Speaker 8: bunker buster bombs and take out this effort, this nuclear enrichment,
Speaker 8: And he said, no, We're going to leave it.
Speaker 3: For the next team.
Speaker 8: So that's what has happened in every single administration on
Speaker 8: both sides of the aisle. President Trump sees a problem,
Speaker 8: he takes care of it. He's not a war president.
Speaker 8: He's not into endless wars and changing hearts and minds.
Speaker 8: He's into protecting the American people, whether it's in our hemisphere,
Speaker 8: in Venezuela or Iran. And this is also all about
Speaker 8: countering China. This is this is a very big play
Speaker 8: he's doing. It's important, and yes, our gas prices are
Speaker 8: a little higher, but a political president wouldn't have done this.
Speaker 8: He would have said, ah, I want to keep it
Speaker 8: low because the midterms.
Speaker 3: He's actually doing the hard work.
Speaker 8: And that's why I really hope that voters will step
Speaker 8: out and will support President Trump and their Republican candidates,
Speaker 8: because if we support them, they will win, and he
Speaker 8: can continue to be winning and securing us going forward
Speaker 8: for the next two years, rather than facing impeachment. After impeachment,
Speaker 8: we've seen this movie before, nobody wants to see it again.
Speaker 1: Carlos santrom Afpi is with me. He says something really
Speaker 1: interesting the era that this is also about countering China.
Speaker 1: I think that's invariably true, and I think that basically
Speaker 1: everything Trump does internationally is designed to counter China, but
Speaker 1: he'll never say this directly because he knows that that
Speaker 1: hurts any negotiations with China. And they are superpower, so
Speaker 1: we have to work with them on certain things. So
Speaker 1: I think it's very smart, but he can't walk us
Speaker 1: through as exact thinking, what do you think it is
Speaker 1: Visa VI China and Iran?
Speaker 8: Yeah, And first of all, all political opinions are my own.
Speaker 8: I speak only for myself and no one else. But
Speaker 8: so what it is if we look at China as so,
Speaker 8: they are in an unrestricted warfare against us in every way, right,
Speaker 8: whether it's territory influence operations, whether it's the talent bringing
Speaker 8: in Chinese people to spy in our universities that are
Speaker 8: funded by our tax dollars. All of these things a
Speaker 8: territory buying, you know, land near our critical infrastructure. So
Speaker 8: they are in an unrestricted warfare and they have threatened us.
Speaker 8: We're not going to send the rare earth you need.
Speaker 8: We're actually not getting all the rare earths we need,
Speaker 8: even in spite of them saying we'll put a pause
Speaker 8: on that, and we need it for our defense equipment,
Speaker 8: which we are rolling through because of these you know,
Speaker 8: incursions into Venezuela and now getting things right in Iran.
Speaker 8: Those poor people in Iran, right, I mean, that's another
Speaker 8: side benefit is they are hoping to have democracy, to
Speaker 8: have the rule of law, to have freedom of the
Speaker 8: sexes and freedom of religion, freedom in their courts and
Speaker 8: not coercion, that women can vote and can merit and
Speaker 8: divorce like we can have in the West. And so
Speaker 8: there's a group NCRI that is working toward that, that
Speaker 8: has sells all throughout Iran. But the RIRGC, which is
Speaker 8: not just in control of the defense in Iran, but
Speaker 8: often a lot of the businesses.
Speaker 3: They if you.
Speaker 8: Cut off the head of the snake, which President Trump
Speaker 8: and Israel did like day one, it was extraordinary. They
Speaker 8: still have over thirty different regional control centers, so it's
Speaker 8: so diversified that it's hard to end this conflict and
Speaker 8: not have them pop up in one or two other places.
Speaker 1: This is exactly my concern. Yeah, this is exactly my
Speaker 1: concern is that, so what does a piece look like
Speaker 1: after but considering how factional the nation.
Speaker 8: Is, right, well, President Trump, the Trump administration and Israel
Speaker 8: just took two people off their hit list. One is
Speaker 8: the Iranian Foreign Minister and the other is the parliamentary speaker.
Speaker 8: Those two people are working on the peace talks, and
Speaker 8: they said there, if their lives end, that's the end
Speaker 8: of the peace talks, which means they're he and perhaps
Speaker 8: will be part of a governing infrastructure in the future.
Speaker 8: People we can work with, like President Trump is working
Speaker 8: with the former vice president from Venezuela, and you can
Speaker 8: see good things happening. But how he's countering China in
Speaker 8: this move is the energy that was coming from Venezuela.
Speaker 8: Sixty to eighty percent of it was going to China.
Speaker 8: Iran ninety percent of their energy was going to China.
Speaker 8: Now the Venezuelan energy is coming to the US and
Speaker 8: after a ten year pause, we're once again refining that
Speaker 8: energy and selling it.
Speaker 3: And I think that Venezuela is benefiting.
Speaker 8: They're getting some of the millions of dollars that are
Speaker 8: flowing back into their economy so that the people of
Speaker 8: Venezuela can rebuild their economy which has been destroyed by
Speaker 8: the socialism and the narco terrorist Maduro there in Venezuela. China,
Speaker 8: Russia and Iran had huge influence operations there in Venezuela,
Speaker 8: but in Iran that energy. President Trump is talking about
Speaker 8: Carg Island. He's been talking about it since nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 8: so he really does understand the situation. But I worry
Speaker 8: about us getting into a ground war there and getting
Speaker 8: you know, immeshed into something that's hard to.
Speaker 3: Get out of, that becomes sticky.
Speaker 8: So I do hope that they bring this to a
Speaker 8: peace agreement soon and that they bring our men and
Speaker 8: women home.
Speaker 1: Carla explain to me carg Island, the strategic importance of
Speaker 1: it and what President Trump sees there.
Speaker 8: So that's where most of the energy from Iran goes
Speaker 8: to before it's loaded onto the tankers and sent to
Speaker 8: their clients.
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of it was going to China.
Speaker 8: Now China Iran is charging ships about two million dollars
Speaker 8: per ship to pass through the Strait of Hormus. One
Speaker 8: of the most important things that President Trump, along with
Speaker 8: our allies, has to do is reopen the Strait of Hormuse.
Speaker 8: That's going to be hard because they can even load
Speaker 8: munitions onto jet skis. How do you you know, combat
Speaker 8: all the jet skis and and then perhaps drones in
Speaker 8: the water and other means of attacking ships.
Speaker 3: This is going to be a huge challenge.
Speaker 8: President Trump is up to the task because he has
Speaker 8: the greatest information of any world leader. But as a
Speaker 8: matter of fact, it is a really tough challenge.
Speaker 6: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: Carlo Sans was the former ambassador to not just Greenland
Speaker 1: but the entire But you know, I want to ask
Speaker 1: you more more about Greenland when we come back. Can
Speaker 1: you hang with me for another short second, But I
Speaker 1: do want to ask you about the future of NATO,
Speaker 1: the future of Greenland, and of course you were ambassador
Speaker 1: to the entire Kingdom of Denmark. I'm last focused on
Speaker 1: Denmark itself today, but I want to know more about
Speaker 1: strategic and boards of Greenland, how a deal could come together,
Speaker 1: And to ask you something important. If NATO's not helping, now,
Speaker 1: what on earth are we even doing in NATO? Explain
Speaker 1: our benefit All that's going to come up After the
Speaker 1: break with Carla Sands from the wonderful AFPI, we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. I've been talking about this for a few
Speaker 1: months now. Why because it's important and it's helping me.
Speaker 1: It's a handheld red light therapy device for pain and
Speaker 1: inflammation called the super Palm ten fifty. I use it
Speaker 1: right at home, and what I really like about is
Speaker 1: it's actually working on my back and my knee and
Speaker 1: no drugs, no invasion, and wow, have I generally noticed
Speaker 1: a difference? Okay, here's how it works. Some power led
Speaker 1: makes devices that deliver red and near infrared light energy
Speaker 1: directly into your cells reduces pain and inflammation. The science
Speaker 1: is called photo biomodulation or PBM, also known as red
Speaker 1: light therapy. You guys have heard about that this isn't
Speaker 1: some dye wellness fad, though PBM has been researched around
Speaker 1: the world for decades. In fact, according to the PBM Foundation,
Speaker 1: over one hundred million patient treatments have been performed without
Speaker 1: any documented side effects. The engineering is impressive too. Some
Speaker 1: power led devices feature a patent pended cooling system that
Speaker 1: lets you hold it closer to your skin, allowing deeper
Speaker 1: light penetration to reach your pain and inflammation. You can
Speaker 1: treat arthritis, knee pain, back, even tonitis, joints, and more.
Speaker 1: The handheld super Palm ten fifty also creates what's called
Speaker 1: a wall of light. The LEDs project at a ninety
Speaker 1: degree angle, which eliminates hot spots and spreads light evenly
Speaker 1: over a wider area, making it five to nine times
Speaker 1: more effective than many alternative technologies. These are medical grade
Speaker 1: PBM devices you can use at home, and they're also
Speaker 1: used by dentists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, wellness centers, and even researchers
Speaker 1: studying PBM. If you want to learn more, check them
Speaker 1: out at SunPower led dot com. If you use the
Speaker 1: code Marlow, you get ten percent off. Feel better, be better,
Speaker 1: treat your pain and inflammation at home, just like I do.
Speaker 1: Sunpowerled dot com. Use the code Marlow.
Speaker 9: Right well.
Speaker 1: Write team in the show here. Greg Evans, our executive producer,
Speaker 1: Sean McConnell runs the board. Roger Wicker, Junior, Rick Lock,
Speaker 1: Garrett Shollie, Matt Sebel, Brandon Couples, Misty Callahan, John Cassio,
Speaker 1: Daniel West. That's the team and they do a very
Speaker 1: nice job. Carlo Sands disconnected for some reason Ambassador's hands
Speaker 1: and I was going to ask her about the nature
Speaker 1: of NATO and if NATO's not helping now, then I
Speaker 1: feel like they're running a major risk here because we
Speaker 1: fund NATO, they don't do much for us. They're completely
Speaker 1: vulnerable without our help, particularly those European nations, And then
Speaker 1: I don't know why this wouldn't be an incident where
Speaker 1: they would say, okay, well we'll pitch in a little bit.
Speaker 1: But they're just deeply in fear domestically of Islam, like
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I talked to Colonel Allen West
Speaker 1: about this on a podcast I did just this week.
Speaker 1: It's a nice reminder. I got some big podcasts coming
Speaker 1: out over the weekend. We're talking to Ron, We're talking Israel,
Speaker 1: We're talking about a bias on university campuses. Can AI
Speaker 1: revolutionize the way we do education and perhaps stick it
Speaker 1: to those woke universities. So I got a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff happening. But I had a podcast up earlier this
Speaker 1: week with Alan West. We talked about exactly this topic,
Speaker 1: about how these nations are completely beholden to the far left,
Speaker 1: secular and Islamist wings of their base, which is really
Speaker 1: running so much of Europe right now, and I find
Speaker 1: that to be deeply disturbing. So we'll have to get
Speaker 1: her back at some point, because I want to plan
Speaker 1: to get Greenland, if for nothing else. Our friend Scott Jennings,
Speaker 1: Our dear friend Scott Jennings who is out there way
Speaker 1: on a limb and he is saying that he demands Greenland.
Speaker 1: So we got to do it for Scott like he
Speaker 1: really was one of the original guy who said we
Speaker 1: needed Greenland. And it's the China thing. As always, China's
Speaker 1: not is becoming an Arctic power. We need to be
Speaker 1: aware of this. China is not a player in the
Speaker 1: Middle East. Thus us opposing China and Iran is really good.
Speaker 1: And China has not been a player in the Arctic,
Speaker 1: but they want to be and they're striving to be.
Speaker 1: And that's why we need to have that territory weed
Speaker 1: more control over Greenland. Plus we'll always figure out a
Speaker 1: way to get more resources, because that's just what Doug
Speaker 1: Bergham does, Like he just goes out figures out how
Speaker 1: to get the resources. Bringing all that goal back from Venezuela.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite stories of the week absolutely is
Speaker 1: that one. All right, A couple other items here to
Speaker 1: wrap up that was on my list, the Mark Wayne
Speaker 1: Mullen confirmation. There's been a lot of fallout with the
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel complaining he's a plumber. John Fetterman, who is
Speaker 1: just very clippable on the show was on This is
Speaker 1: I Think Chris Cuomo show on News Nation talking about
Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen and I really like this exchange.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 1: Can we play cut one please.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that you thought he was a good
Speaker 2: fit for the job because I've never seen anybody in
Speaker 2: that position with no experience in law enforcement, let alone
Speaker 2: homeland security.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Well may Arcus may have had some experience, and
Speaker 9: the the border turned into an absolute disaster, you know,
Speaker 9: and I.
Speaker 1: Referred to as it's just first of all, the premise
Speaker 1: from Fredo Cuomo just unbelievable. The guy with the best
Speaker 1: foreign policy in my lifetime is been Donald Trump, who
Speaker 1: is a businessman in reality TV star as president, and
Speaker 1: he has been the best by far. Joe Biden had
Speaker 1: by far the worst, even though he fashioned himself as
Speaker 1: a leading light on foreign policy in this country. So
Speaker 1: I just the credentialed class is what's gotten us in
Speaker 1: all this mess. That you don't have a right to
Speaker 1: do something because you're merely a US senator, so you
Speaker 1: can't run a barber homeland security. That's not a good
Speaker 1: enough resume item for Fredo. He needed to I don't
Speaker 1: know the walk a beat. As a cop, I would
Speaker 1: have been opposed to that. But what is he requesting here?
Speaker 1: And then Fetterman's retort, Well, my Orcus was really qualified.
Speaker 1: He'd completely run up through the ranks at Homeland Security,
Speaker 1: and then he opened the borders and caused devastation for
Speaker 1: this country. Countless lives lost, community's broken because of my
Speaker 1: orcas as Paul, so, really nice answer, and that was
Speaker 1: sharp by Fetterman. I mean, it's a I know he
Speaker 1: had the health that you just droke and stuff. That
Speaker 1: was sharp. Let's do a little more.
Speaker 9: As their version of mayarchus, you know, but you know,
Speaker 9: I do believe he's committed, and we've had multiple conversations
Speaker 9: and his top priority is to secure our border, round
Speaker 9: up all of the criminals, and they're not going to
Speaker 9: have any more things like Minneapolis and that tragedy. And
Speaker 9: I would point out that, to my knowledge of what
Speaker 9: I've reported, there is no Ice presence in Minneapolis anymore
Speaker 9: right now. So you know, we have a choice to
Speaker 9: find someone to work with. And now that's that's the
Speaker 9: choice that I made, and there were multiple Democrats private it's.
Speaker 1: A I will say, though, and this is fear, is
Speaker 1: it the The reason why I don't give vetterman and
Speaker 1: quite as many spins as a lot of my other
Speaker 1: colleagues is that he still does vote wrong a lot,
Speaker 1: even though he's expressed ave more of a voter ID.
Speaker 1: He voted against the latest round of we need to
Speaker 1: have voter I d at the poll. So it's part
Speaker 1: of the nature being a Democrat and it's very sad.
Speaker 1: All right. A couple of tech issues to wrap things
Speaker 1: up today. NASA is starting preparations for the Artemis iw
Speaker 1: Moon mission. We've not been to the moon since nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy two. I will tell you this is I'm not
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist guy, but my favorite conspiracy theory is
Speaker 1: that we never went to the moon, because it's just
Speaker 1: shockingly illogical to me. We would just go, and I
Speaker 1: think only like ten or eleven people have ever been,
Speaker 1: almost all of them are dead. The youngest person who's
Speaker 1: been to the moon, I think, is eighty nine. That's
Speaker 1: just very strange that we did this as a country.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad we're going back, so to speak. So
Speaker 1: lift up for April. First, last one federal judge blocking
Speaker 1: the Pentagon from labeling Anthropic a supply chain risk. Now
Speaker 1: federal judge are trying to run big tech and defense
Speaker 1: scary stuff. Law Fair is a big threat. See you
Speaker 1: next week. Go in peace, love, and serve the Lord.
