1 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm Josh Hammer, and this is the Josh Hammer Show. 2 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: The neo Confederate insurrection in Minnesota and across Democrat Bashon's 3 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: nationwide continues. As we've been explaining on this show for weeks, 4 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: the similarities are positively striking. Indeed, they are harrowing between 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: what is currently happening in the Twin Cities in Minnesota 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: and all of Minnesota by extension for the matter, and 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: what happened in the anti Bellum South in the lead 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: up to the Civil War. We have seen this refrain 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: over and over and over again that the federal government 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: that federal law does not apply here. We are not 11 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: going to allow the fence to come in and enforce 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: their law as he ex planned on yesterday's show. America 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: has litigated this question. We've litigated at numerous times. First 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in seventeen eighty seven. 15 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: What emerged from that convention was the supremacy clause of 16 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: Article six of the Constitution, establishing the supremacy of federal law. 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: We litigated tragically a second time. That came the form 18 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: of the Civil War. Over six hundred thousand Americans paid 19 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice to establish the proposition that federal law 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: is supreme over state and local law that purports to 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: nullify that federal law. And the third time at least 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: came the form of Jim Crow, the deserogation fights Eisenhower 23 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: sending in the National Guard in Arkansas, governor orvill Faubus. 24 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: All of that, there is another very important point. We 25 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: briefly allude to it, and I want to elaborate here 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: for tonight's opening monologue. What you are seeing playing out 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: in Minnesota is not just neo Confederate tactics. What you're 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: seeing is the Hamasization, or at least the Palestinization for 29 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: making up wards here bringing that particular conflict, that particular 30 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: horrific martyrdom jihadis mentality into Democrat mansions here in these 31 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: United States. Let's just walk you briefly through the history 32 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: here to get a better sense of what I am 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: trying to communicate to you. Before there was George Floyd, 34 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: there were other altercations between various black individuals and police officers. 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: That was the slow building up of the Black Lives 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: Matter tension that ultimately erupted in the Summer of Love 37 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: of the horrific anarchy of the summer of twenty twenty. 38 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: To be clear, I am not endorsing the notion at 39 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: all that there is a great, a great abundance of 40 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: quote unquote unarmed black individuals who are being gunned down 41 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: by police officers. That is one of the most pernicious, 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: pernicious myths that has gotten into the mainstream of American 43 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: political discourse for the past fifteen twenty years. As people 44 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: like Heather McDonald's at the Manhattan Institute have explained time 45 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: and time again with overwhelming statistical evidence, it is simply 46 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: not true. Nonetheless, Nonetheless, there became this impression the police 47 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: were going and trying to hunt down unarmed black individuals. Well, 48 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: one of the particular instances that really really fed fed 49 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: this beast of a left wing propaganda information operation was Ferguson, 50 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: Missouri in twenty fourteen. So Michael Brown, Michael Brown killed 51 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: in Ferguson, Missouri in twenty and fourteen. The media immediately 52 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: jumps all over the hands up, don't shoot. Do y'all 53 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: remember that? Well, for those of us who came in 54 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: political age during the Bush and or Obama administrations, we 55 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: probably do remember that. I rerdered that very well. There, 56 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: the whole hands up, don't shoot thing ends up being 57 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: a total lie. By the way, that's not what happened 58 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: to Michael Brown. Will hold the details aside. The point 59 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: is this was a seminal moment in the building up 60 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: a Black Lives Matter American anarchy. And I talk about Ferguson, 61 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: Missouri for present purposes because it was not lost at 62 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: that time that as this whole woke, intersectional coalition of 63 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: the left was really coming into its incipient form, into 64 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: its eventual and ultimate fruition, that fruition coming in the 65 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty summer and ultimately in the By administration, the 66 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Palestinian cause found a sympathetic cause there in Michael Brown 67 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: and Ferguson, Missouri. More generally, it was actually a whole 68 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: list of notable Palestine Arabs who came out in support 69 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: of Michael Brown's family and the people of Ferguson, Missouri. 70 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I was reading about it just to refresh memory. This 71 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: is an article posted to Electronic into Fada, a website 72 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: that I think speaks for itself. They come after yours, truly. 73 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: Any number of times. More recently, though, in the aftermath 74 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: of the horrific Hamas program. On October seven, twenty twenty three, 75 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: there was this very savvy propaganda video that Hamas put 76 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: out there. Say what you will about Hamas, and they 77 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: are a bunch of genocidal, seventh century aspiring Shreia supremacists, thugs. 78 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: They are absolutely horrific people there, but they know how 79 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: to dupe easily impressionable, vulnerable Western minds. 80 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: In fact, as. 81 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: Leo Leibovitz wrote in an essay for Tablet Magazine this 82 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: past August, many ways Hamas is actually winning the culture war. 83 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: In many ways, Hamas actually is is the man of 84 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: manipulating impressionable Western minds. So this video that came out, 85 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: I think it was literally film matching the tunnels of Gaza. 86 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: After October seventh, you have this hamasnik on campus or 87 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: in the tunnels, and he's speaking to a Western audience 88 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: there and he's saying that. He literally says, from Ferguson, 89 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: Missouri to Hearing Gaza, our fight is the same. Stop 90 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: me if you've heard that one before. This is intersectionality. 91 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: This is this notion that so called oppressed peoples the 92 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: world over have all these things in common. 93 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 2: Therefore they must unite. 94 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: I say all that because Hamas understands that it is 95 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: to their political benefits to tie their wretched, ransom jedicidal 96 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: cause to try to gin up left wing sentiments here 97 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: in the United States and perhaps the Western world more generally. 98 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: That is very long winded. 99 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: Wind up what I'm going to say next, which is 100 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: that this relationship of Hamas trying to appeal to Westerners 101 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: is now also a two way relationship. You see, American 102 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: leftists are not just listening to the Hamas propaganda when 103 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: it comes through things like trying to tie Michael Brown 104 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: to Gaza in this ridiculous, outrageous, faux moral dichotomy of 105 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: oppressed depressor, this neo Marxist claptrap. No, they're actually now 106 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: taking the Hamas martyrdom playbook into the streets. That is 107 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: what is happening, Make no mistake about it. Renee Good 108 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago when she was killed by Jonathan 109 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: Ross in an act of self defense, that ICE agent there, 110 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: Renee Good, was radicalized by her local Tithes Foundation, Ford Foundation, 111 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: Soros Open Society Foundation, funded anarchic organization ice Watch. She 112 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: was put out there by this left wing NGO funded 113 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: anarchy movement, this neo insurrectionary cabal. She was put out 114 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: there to be a martyr. How do I know that? Well, 115 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: among other ways, I know that is because her partner, 116 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: her lesbian partner, was shouting her on drive Baby Drive. 117 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: I know you saw the same video that I saw, 118 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: and they're currently investigating that. The FBI cap hotel. They're 119 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: currently vest game to see what complicity, So we see 120 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: what complicity the deceased partner has in the decease death 121 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: at the hands of Jonathan Ross in the act of 122 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: self defense. Rene Good was put out there to be 123 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: a martyr. So too this past weekend out looks pretty 124 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: a nurse at the local VA hospital, as we've now 125 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: heard countless times, he too had his passions riled up, 126 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: riled up by reckless, reckless Minnesota politicians, people like Governor 127 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: Tim Wawas, people like Attorney General Keith Ellison, people like 128 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: Congresswoman Illin Omar, people like Mayor Jacob Fry. They are 129 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: trying to rile these people up to get out there 130 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: and guess to be killed. They know exactly what they 131 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: are doing, just like Hamas when they are in Gaza. 132 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: They have a profoundly cynical pr strategy. They put all 133 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: of their weapons. They hide their bases. They're rocket launchers, 134 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: they're mortars, there's small arms, grenades, all of it there 135 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: where they hide it in schools, in mosques, in unerra facilities, 136 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: unit nations, reliefs and works agency facilities, there essentially being 137 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: an extension of Hamas. Basically in Gaza, they know that 138 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: Israel's going to respond, They know that civilians are going 139 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: to be caught in this crossfire as human shields. That 140 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: is a feature, not a bug for Hamas. It is 141 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: the most cynical pr strategy known to mankinds. You deliberately 142 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: want your own people to be killed so that they 143 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: can be martyars in some greater costs. For Hamas, that 144 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: cause is the cause that they articulate quite clearly in 145 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: their founding charter from the late nineteen eighties. AMAS founding 146 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: Charter says in unambiguous terminology that their goal is the 147 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: murder the destruction of the state of Israel of all 148 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: of the Jews and all of the other quote unquote 149 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: infidels in the worlds, which they define as not just Jews, 150 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: but Christians and frankly most Muslims as well, who don't 151 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: abscribe to their particularly idiosyncratic brand of Sunni Shuria supremacism. 152 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: So too in Minnesota, you now see the Democrat establishment. 153 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, yes we saw just yes, 154 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: say Tim Walls gets on the phone with Donald Trump. There, 155 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: he pretends like he's offering some conciliatory gestures. There, Donald Trump, 156 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: wo's worth seeming to believe Tim Walls, at least to 157 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: an extent. 158 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: I'm not. 159 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: I'm totally sure that's justified, miss President there, But you 160 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: do you on this one? I suppose so Tim Walls 161 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: is mouthing the right platitudes. Jacob Fry continues to equivoc 162 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: case and vacillate and not give a straight answer as 163 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: to whether or not he actually wants to see ice 164 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: a bottle as although he definitely wants to see ice 165 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: taken out of Minnesota. But they know what they're doing 166 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: when these politicians Tim Walls, for months and months and months, 167 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: how many times has he compared ice and immigration forcemen? 168 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: How many times has he compared this to Nazi escatrocities? 169 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: How many times he knows what he is doing. He 170 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: is trying to get people to take matters into their 171 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: own hands. It's the exact same way that the years 172 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: and years and years of reckless rhetoric, of reckless rhetoric 173 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: of calling Donald Trump, hey Hitler write a Stalenie, a communist, 174 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: a fash is a Nazi. Eventually someone's gonna take matters 175 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: into his own hands. Oh wait, Thomas Matthew Crooks did 176 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: that in Butler, Pennsylvania about a year and a half ago, 177 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: almost took down Donald Trump. Very similar thing happened to 178 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: my friend Charlie Kirk in Utah this past September. The 179 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: left knows what it's doing. They are trying to get 180 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties era anarchy in our streets all over again. 181 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: They want fire, they want vandalism, they want arson. They 182 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: thrive when there is chaos. The right thrives when there 183 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: is order. The left thrives when there is chaos. They 184 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: are the movement of chaos. In many ways, they are 185 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: the movement of violence, going back to the very origins 186 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: of the left during the Robespier Raino of terror during 187 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century. They know 188 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing. Violence, chaos is endemic to leftism, 189 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: and they are really digging in right now, are they not. 190 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: They're not just useful idiots for the Hamas cause. This 191 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: is the Red Green Alliance flourishing in its fullest, most 192 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: fulsome form both tentacles, the Red and the Green, the 193 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: Marxists and the Islasts coming together for the sake of 194 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: what trying to throw their own people to be cannon fodder, 195 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: to be human shields in this case, for the anarchists, 196 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: for the quote unquote purporting greater good of abolishing immigration law. 197 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: It's horrific, it's evil, and as we said repeatedly on 198 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: the show, it must be quashed by any means necessary. 199 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Stay with us with the break, folks, we will be 200 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: right back on the other side. 201 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 202 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: So I want to talk about some other topic as well, 203 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: but for now, just a final word on what has 204 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: been happening in Minnesota. First of all, a word to you, 205 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: mister President, do not go soft on this one. There 206 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: are a lot of folks who are who are encouraging you, 207 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: miss President, to go soft. There has been some turnover 208 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: right now in the Customs Border Protection Border Patrol. Greg 209 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: Mavino seemingly is now out that he was just annointed 210 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: as one of the faces of this operation. Tom Homan 211 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: is going to Minneapolis. That's a very good move. But 212 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: do not back off, mister president. Do not take your 213 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: foot off the gas pedal. For every wobbly Pannikin, for 214 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: every weak minded person on the right who is encouraging 215 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: the vitiation and the undermining of the efficacy of federal law, 216 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: who is encouraging for federal law to not be applied, 217 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: For every one of these Pannikins, if you will. There 218 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: actually are some surprising people in the broader center in 219 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: the political spectrum who understand that federal law must be enforced. 220 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,479 Speaker 1: As we mentioned, there were the New York Times Santacological 221 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: recently top tier polster showing that Donald Trump's immigration agenda 222 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: still polls positively fifty to forty seven. There's also people 223 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: like John Fetterman. In fact, John Fetterman was on Fox 224 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: News talking about how the buydministrations complete and utter failure 225 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: to patrol and secure this nation's borders led to this moment. 226 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 2: Here was John Fetterman. 227 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 4: President Biden did a terrible job, and our border was 228 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 4: effectively open at that point. Whether Biden and majorcus did 229 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 4: not secure our border. And I tried to warn my 230 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 4: party back in twenty twenty three, that this would cost 231 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: this in the election, and America deserves to secure our border. 232 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 4: I don't know why every American can't agree with that thing. 233 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 4: And another thing is the truth that we should all agree 234 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 4: to deport all of the criminals that are here in 235 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 4: our nation right now and now. Is for me, as 236 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 4: a pro Democrat, pro immigration democrat, I do think we 237 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: need to develop a way for citizenship for the very 238 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 4: hard working migrants that are amidst this well now too. 239 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 4: So as long as I do have to give credit 240 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 4: to the president for securing our border and now that's 241 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 4: why order and arrest all of the criminals, and for 242 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 4: that and the tragedy that happened, and we've lost two 243 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 4: American citizens, I don't think anyone in America wants that 244 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 4: or that they would have voted for. 245 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: Those things, all right, So for every Pannican on the 246 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: so called controlled opposition, right there is a John Fairman 247 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: out there who is probably supportive of cleaning up Joe 248 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: Biden's mess. And lest you forget, this is ultimately Joe 249 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: Biden's mess, that that Joe Biden led in potentially upwards 250 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: of eight million or more. But the number that I 251 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: often see is eight million unvetted illegal aliens into this country. 252 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: That is what led to the current situation. If Democrats 253 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: had let that happen, If Democrats had any interest in 254 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: cleaning up their own mess, did any interest in directing 255 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: local and state officials to cooperate with the fence when 256 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: it comes to immigration enforcement. 257 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: If any of that happens, we wouldn't be here. 258 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: Credit to an extent to John Fareman for actually understand this. 259 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Mister presidents, do not take your foot off this gaspel. 260 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: A final quick legal note as well. Here we talk 261 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: a lot about what to actually do about these so 262 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: called sanctuary jurisdictions. For a very long time, I have 263 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: been saying that there is ample Supreme Court president to 264 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: allow the administration to defund them in their entirety. There 265 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: was a case for nineteen eighty seven at the Usupreme 266 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: Court called South Dakota versus doll. This is a case 267 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: where the federal government was trying to get the states 268 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: to assist them in enforcing a universal nationwide twenty one 269 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: year minimum drinking age. 270 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: And the question here is. 271 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: Whether or not the federal governments can can withhold or 272 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: thread to withhold federal funding to the states in order 273 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: to induce them to assist the federals with a policy. Again, 274 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: in that case, it would be raising the drinking age 275 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: from eighteen years old to twenty one. So to today, 276 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: the fellow governments can do that as long per the 277 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: Supreme Court in ninety seven, as long as there is 278 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: a nexus, there is a relationship between the funding that's 279 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: being withheld and when you're trying to induce the. 280 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: States to do so. 281 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: Back in this Southcote versus DOAL case, the relevant funding 282 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: pertain to federal highway funds. So essentially, let's say South Dakota, 283 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: if you want federal highway funds, you better enforce a 284 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: twenty one years old drinking age. The court said that's okay. 285 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: So to today, DOJ gives massive, massive funding to many 286 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: local police departments all throughout the United States. I've been 287 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: saying for a long time now, forget about just not obstructing. 288 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: If these local police departments want any funding at all, 289 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: per South Dakota, be dole. Make sure that they are 290 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: assisting assisting ice when it comes to offering over aliens 291 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: who have a detainer and things like that. Excuse me 292 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: that there was ample presant to support that that sort 293 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: of thing. Well, speaking of the demonization of Ice, the 294 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: one thing that that must be noted just just it 295 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: continues just to bother me at a profound level, is 296 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: the way that leading Democrats just routinely compare, routinely compare 297 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: immigration forcement to Nazism. Today is actually International Holocaust Remembers 298 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: to Day. January twenty seventh, every year is International Holocaust 299 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: Remembrance Day. And that's because this is the day that 300 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: the most infamous of the concentration camps Auschwitz berknow this 301 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: the day that that was liberated. And you have to 302 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: mess up pretty badly to get rebuked by a Holocaust museum. 303 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: But that's actually exactly what happened just this week to 304 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: the attlebrain governor, the demagogue in chief there out in 305 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: the land of ten Thousand Lakes, Tim Walls himself. So 306 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: in case you missed it, here again it was Tim 307 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: Wallas at a press cons this past weekend talking about 308 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: and Frank, of all people, bowl and Ice in Minnesota. 309 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, 310 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 3: afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading 311 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 3: that story of Anne. Frank, somebody's going to write that 312 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 3: children's story about Minnesota, and there's one person who can 313 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 3: end this now. 314 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: So I mean just upholling stuff. And in response to that, 315 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: just yesterday on Wednesday, the US Holocaust Museum tweeted out 316 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: quote Anna Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she 317 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for 318 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions Minneapolis, exploiting the 319 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially it's anti Semitism surches. You know, 320 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: as I said to one of my friends, how badly 321 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: do you have to mess up to get rebuked by 322 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: a Holocaust museum? 323 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? I mean literally, what is 324 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: wrong with you? 325 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 5: Truth? 326 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: He told. Democrats have been doing this for a year. 327 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: So I remember when AOC was first elected to the 328 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: Congress in twenty eighteen as part of that first Mitrom 329 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: election backlash to Trump's first term. Historically, again, the opposition 330 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: party typically wins in these first Midtro elections. And then AOC, 331 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: in a very first year in Congress, within a few months, 332 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: was comparing these ice facilities on the border to concentration camps, 333 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: to which I say, screw you, screw you and the 334 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: horse that you wrote it in on. This is appalling, appalling stuff. 335 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: The Holocaust was the culmination of many, many years of horrific, 336 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: demonic propaganda campaigns, and it was also the apex of 337 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: the capacity for human evil. There be any number of 338 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: other horrific genocides, many over the past century, tragically. In fact, 339 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: communism actually has a higher overall death toll than fascism 340 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: when you combine the tens of million slaughtered by Stalin 341 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: and the Soviet gulac system, along with the arguably even 342 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: higher number forty fifty sixty millions slaughterer by Mao Zedong 343 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: and the Communist Chinese. 344 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: So communism has. 345 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: A higher death toll. But the sheer, systemic, robotic nature 346 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: of the Nazi genocide, the gas chambers, it is unique 347 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: and in the most evil possible sense, and shame to 348 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: an extent that I can't even quite elaborate on those 349 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: who would water down what happened in Germany between nineteen 350 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: thirty nine to nineteen forty five of the all is disgusting. 351 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: Of course, these are the exact same people who are 352 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: invariably turning the Nazi label on the Jewish State of 353 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: Israel itself and accusing Israel of genocide. I actually had 354 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: an op ed at Fox news dot Com just this 355 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: past weekend about the pending ICJ International Court Justice case 356 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: being brought by South Africa, which is now an anti white, 357 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: racist tinpot dictatorship down there. This case is being brought 358 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: by South Africa against Israel accusing Israel of genocideing in 359 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: Gaza over the past few years. We're not going to 360 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: do a deep dive on this, but the notion is 361 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: Israels has commitd genocide in Gaza is it is frankly 362 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: too offensively stupid to even feel the need to combat 363 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean any definition of genocide whatsoever. Again, we're 364 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna hold that aside because I respect this audience. I 365 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: respect that you don't need me to tell you how 366 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: utterly insane that argument actually is. But the point is this, 367 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: whether it is South Africa at the ICJ, or whether 368 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: it is Tim Wall speaking from the press conference Life 369 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: Turn in Minnesota this past weekend, stop doing this. The 370 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: Holocaust was uniquely evil. The word genisi was literally created 371 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: as a reflection of that. Have some darn respect for 372 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: God's sake. If you find yourself one to make these analogies, pause, 373 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: look in the mirror and ask where the heck you 374 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: went so wrong in your life? But this is where 375 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: you've stooped unbelievable stuff. Think, list to the break, folks. 376 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: I'm Josh Hammer. We'll be right back on the other side. 377 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 378 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: So it is International Holocaust Remembrance today is a very 379 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: occasion to remember the six million Jews and many others 380 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: incentively as well, who were slaughtered by the absolute embodiment 381 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: of evil on the face of the earth, which was 382 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: the Third Reich, the Nazi regime. And it's something of 383 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: a reminder that there are always regimes that aspire to 384 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: exterminationist ends. And won has ever read classical political philosophy, 385 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: who has read their Bible? You know that there have 386 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: been rulers, despots, dictators, kings, moner archs, etc. Went back 387 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: a very, very very long time. Who harbor the most 388 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: evil aspirations when it comes to what they intend to 389 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: do and inflict upon they're fellow human beings. Well, one 390 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: of those regimes today is the Islamac Republic of Iran. 391 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: Most Americans don't think day to day about Iran. They 392 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: probably wish actually that that problem would go away. 393 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 2: So do I For that matter, There The. 394 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: Problem is that Iran thinks a lot about the and 395 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: Iran does not want the problem to go away. The 396 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: regime was literally found in its current form in nineteen 397 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: seventy nine in the tail end of the Jimmy Carter 398 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: presidency with the infamous four hundred plus day hostage crisis 399 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: in Tehran where Americans were taken hostage at the embassy. 400 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: At that time, this regime was founded on anti American hatred. 401 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: They view the United States as the embodiment of the West, 402 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: the West that they so deeply despise and abhor to 403 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: this day. In the Iranian legislature, which is something of 404 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: a Potempican legislature, is really the so called Aatola, the 405 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Leader commedy who really calls the shots day day, 406 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: But the potempkicin legislature on a daily basis, they still 407 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: chant death to Israel, death to America, which they referred 408 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: to as the Little Satan and the Big Satan, respectively. 409 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: As we've been covering now for weeks, Donald Trump is 410 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: still at this standoff as to whether or not he 411 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: is going to follow through on his red line threat 412 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to military action against the moles, potentially 413 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: against the so called iotol himself commenting, so the absolute 414 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: latest is Trump is now saying that Iran has called 415 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: numerous times to try to make a deal. This is 416 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: as the USS Abraham Lincoln. This aircraft carrier strike group 417 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: has indeed now arrived. It's in the Indian Ocean into 418 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: the Persian Gulf area. There is well within striking distance 419 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: of Iran if the commander in chief so chooses to 420 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: engage in some sort of kinetic hostility. Donald Trump referring 421 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: to this as a big armada, which is kind of 422 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: a funny anachronistic bit of verbiage. Armada referring to initially 423 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: really the Spanish armada from the sixteenth century or so. There, 424 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: So kind of funny language from Donald Trump there. But 425 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: the point is there is this gargantuan aircraft carrier strike group. 426 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: To be clear, it's not just an aircraft carrier. Strike 427 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: group entails an aircraft carrier. There's destroyers, there's lots of 428 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: warplanes there, there's nuclear submarines. 429 00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a big deal. 430 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So this is a big deal that you don't 431 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: do unless you are very very serious about potential military action. Now, 432 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: just this past weekend, the head of Sencom of US 433 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: Central Command, which is the part of the US military 434 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: that is tasked with overseeing the Middle East. 435 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 2: He arrived. 436 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: The head of Sencom arrived in Israel this past weekend actually, 437 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: where he met with the chief of staff of the IDF, 438 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: the Israel Defense Force is there and it was widely 439 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: reported that among the topics that they discussed were the 440 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: potential for hostilities against Iran. There was a rumor a 441 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago that Donald Trump was ready to 442 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: launch some sort of strike to follow through on his 443 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: red line threat that he issued before the Iotola started 444 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: murdering tens of thousands of his own citizens. There was 445 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: a rumor that Bibi Natiyah, who had told Donald Trump 446 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: to actually not do this yet because Israel was not 447 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: prepared yet for the for the Iranian response against Israel. 448 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: There I was skept goal of that at the time. 449 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: I'm somewhat less skeptical now as I read more reporting, 450 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: it seems to me the potentially that reporting maybe was accurate. 451 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: Maybe Israel indeed was lobbying in the President of United 452 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: States Donald Trump for more time prepare. But based on 453 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: what happened this past weekend with the sencom head visiting 454 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: the chiefest staff of the IDF. There seemed to be 455 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: now simpatico that these two countries, the US and Israel, 456 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: are locked up there. So if I were going to 457 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: make a prediction as to what is to come next, 458 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: I do think that there is going to be some 459 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: sort of kinetic action. Again, if you listened to yesterday's 460 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: show where we were talking with Mike Durant of the 461 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: Husson Institute, Mike Durant, actually I actually predicted that a 462 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: year from now kaim and he is probably not going 463 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: to be in charge. Whether or not that actually means 464 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: the genuine fall of the Aslamak Republic is anyone's guess. 465 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: But at this point, at this point, it seems to 466 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: me more likely than not that the United States is 467 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: going to do some serious damage in Iran and potentially 468 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: potentially again go for kamme Ni himself. Again, I've said 469 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: this many times been in case you forgot. My basic 470 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: stance on this is I don't like the whole draw 471 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: red line stuff. I like to keep your options more secretive, deliberate, 472 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: and ultimately kind of call your shot. Teddy Roosevelt speaks softly, 473 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: carry a big stick all that, but the draw red 474 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: line and your bluff is called essentially there, then you 475 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: gotta take action there. So I think that Donald Trump's 476 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: hand is more or less forced on this one. 477 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 2: Now. 478 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,479 Speaker 1: One thing that's been interesting is watching how not just Israel, 479 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: but all the various other Middle East countries are reacting 480 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: to the possibility of yet more hostilities between the United 481 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: States and the Iszonma Republic of Iran. It's been widely 482 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: reported on the one hand that you have some more 483 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: moderate Muslim Arab country such as the UAE, for instance. 484 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: They're probably the number one example that apparently, if you 485 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: believe the reporting, have been lobbying the Trump minstration to 486 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: actually follow through on this thread and to have some 487 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: sort of strikes against Iran. On the other hand, there 488 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: are other trees, namely Kattar Turkey, and here's where it 489 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: is interesting. Apparently Saudi Arabia, apparently Saudi Arabia under Mohamed 490 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: bin Samon, has also been lobbying to tch administration to 491 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: actually not go ahead and to follow through on this 492 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: red line threat. And this is now just the latest 493 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: indication that Saudi Arabia is drifting in an unfortunate direction. 494 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: So a lot of people who follow Middle East media 495 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: very closely have noted that over the past just the 496 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: past month. One has a very recent thing, just over 497 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: the past month, month and a half, Al Arabia, which 498 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: is the Saudi state backed TV network operating in Riad 499 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: at the state capitol. I've actually been on Al Arabia 500 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: English language programming numerous times actually, but their Arabic speaking 501 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: channel that the main Al Urbia has really been fanning 502 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: the flames of anti Semitism and anti Zionism over the 503 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: past month, month and a half in a way that 504 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: was totally totally different. Recall that for a very long 505 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: time the rumor was not necessarily if Saudi Arabia would 506 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: join the Abraham Accords circle of piece. But when really, 507 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: I mean that was not that long cut that we 508 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: were having that conversation as to when the inevitaal would 509 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: happen there, And increasingly this now seems really like a 510 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: long shot. Saudi is now actually essentially in active hostilities 511 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: against the UAE, I mean, I mean Saudi the UE. 512 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: We We're about as close as two countries could possibly get. 513 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: The UE is basically a small adjunct of Saudi Arabia 514 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: now they're actually going to battle against each other in 515 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: Yemen in the midst of this who the Yemen Civil War. 516 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia is now on the wrong side of that, 517 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: or at least the more Islamist aggressive side thee back 518 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: in the more moderate forces there and on an i'll orb. 519 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: Over the past month, they've been saying that the UAE 520 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: itself is a is a Zionist trojan horse, the Abraham 521 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: a Cords itself or a Zionist plot. Where in the 522 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: world is this coming from is one is one obvious question. 523 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: I think that also raised there because they seemingly came 524 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Well one possibility. One possibility is that 525 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: the trudministration hasn't effectively been exercising leverage. They've kind of 526 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: just taken the Saudis for granted. The United States for 527 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: a very very long time has considered Saudi Arabia has 528 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: been as one of its lynchpins of Middle East geopolitics 529 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: and national security strategy. Now it's standing in the fact 530 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: that Saudi Arabia was the country that produced most of 531 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: the nine to eleven hijackers the pilots there. Notwithstanding that 532 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: the country itself overall has been considered integral to US 533 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: security in the region, at least as far back as 534 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: the islmust takeover in Tehran, maybe even further that, going 535 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: back all the way to World War Two, the nineteen fifties. 536 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: But has the US taken sadi Aa for granted? We 537 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: provide a lot of weaponry, a lot of machinery, a 538 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: lot of large and small arms to the Saudi military. 539 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: They're flying F fifteen's, F thirty five's American made aircraft. 540 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: We train the Saudis how to fly that aircraft. 541 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 2: Is it really not? 542 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: Can we just ask in return that they not side 543 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: with the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran not to try to 544 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: lobbyist away from a strike against Iran. It was just 545 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: a few months ago that the Saudis were allowing were 546 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: allowing the US and apparently Israel to use their airspace 547 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: to attack Iran. It's a very very recent thing, mister President. 548 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: The ball is in your court on this one. The 549 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: Joys reason holds a lot of leverage over Saudi Arabia. 550 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: It's a very very important country. Stop this bleeding staunch, 551 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: this get them back in the axis of moderation. 552 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 3: There. 553 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: There's a very very very importance situation here.

Saudi is a 582 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: country that can be bent to the American will. The 583 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: question is whether or not you are willing to stand 584 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: up these countries that have pledge these astronomical levels of 585 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: investment recalled. Donald Trump visited Riyad, Abu Dhabi and Doha 586 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: this past May, got astronomical pledges from these very wealthy 587 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: Gulf Arab monarchies. There, all you have to do is 588 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: essentially turn the screws and make the ask, because if 589 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia starts to get cozy with Iran, that's bad news. 590 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: That is very very bad news for the Middle East. 591 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: That's very very bad news frankly for the world. So 592 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: this can still be stopped. And there's absolutely no reason 593 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: why the Saudis and Amerdis, for God's sake, two countries 594 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: that could not have been closer. There's no reason for 595 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: them to be sparring with each other. There So mister 596 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: President's you have orchestrated how many peace deals? I lost 597 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: track our media asbad John in the A, Pakistan and Camodia, Thailand, Kongo, Rwanda, 598 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: literally can't remember. Surely, mister President, you can get in 599 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: there with Wikoff with Kushner, with the whole team diplomacy 600 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: and try to stop this internescine arab fighting between the Saudis, 601 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: Amaradis and Thereaboy. 602 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 2: Try to pull sad Arabia. 603 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: Back away from this deeply Islamist troublesome pro Muzzle Brotherhood, 604 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: pro Iran bent back towards the access of moderation in 605 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: the Middle East. It's actually really really important, frankly, that 606 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: they do exactly that. I want to talk about one 607 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: other thing that has been really bothered me over the 608 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 1: past few days before we close out today's show. So folks, 609 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: those who don't know me very well, I'm very big 610 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: sports fan. In fact, before I was into any of this, 611 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: before I was really into the news and politics and law. 612 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: I am a lawyer, but before I was into any 613 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: of that stuff, I was always into sports. My dream 614 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,919 Speaker 1: job growing up actually was to be a sports center 615 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: anchor on ESPN. I have such fond childhood memories of 616 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: being homesick from school. Being sick is not fond memory, 617 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 1: but being there and just watching Sports Center on repeat 618 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: from like seven am to noon. I used to just 619 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: totally geek out on NFL Sundays, twelve straight hours of 620 00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: NFL programming. 621 00:34:59,200 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 2: There. 622 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: In high schoo my dream job shifted to being the 623 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: general manager for a major League baseball team. I used 624 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 1: to subscribe to a publication called Baseball America, which specializes 625 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: in advance statistics for the minor leagues and places like 626 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: that there, so I was really really into this. Actually 627 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: interned for a sports agency in college, and also I 628 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: interacted one summer for the US Tennis Association. I love tennis, 629 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: and this is one of my favorite sports really my 630 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: entire life. Probably the very first sport actually that I 631 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: learned to play. It's probably like that or baseball, if 632 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: I had to guess there. And I've been watching some 633 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: of the Australian Open recently. There are four Grand sum 634 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: events in the annual tennis calendar. You start in January 635 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: in Melbourne, Australia with the Australian Open, and then in May, 636 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: sometimes into early June, but at least in late May 637 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: then you have Roland Garros otherwise known as the French Open. 638 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: That's that deep, beautiful rich red clay, raw Field and 639 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: Nadal used to dominate as the King of Clay. And 640 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: then about three or four weeks later, towards the end 641 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: of June into early July, then you go across the 642 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: English Channel into London for Wimbledon on the grass court, 643 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: my personal favorites of the four Majors. And then you 644 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: end around Labor Day weekend with the US Open Arthur H. 645 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: Stadium in New York City. This incredible, incredible pageantry. And 646 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: let me tell you, I have very fond memories of 647 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: actually being an intern there at the US Tensilization many 648 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: many years ago. I remember eating a player, dining next 649 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: to Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and all this fun stuff. 650 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: So I've been watching the Australian Open for the past 651 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: week and a half or so and it will end 652 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: this Sunday. These tournaments are always two weeks. And there 653 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: have been a couple of instances of American stars who 654 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: have been asked about the Minnesota ice Trump situation, and 655 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: these are leftists who are ensconced in the sports journalism 656 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: and professions. For instance, at least one of these reporters 657 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: asked this question comes from a publication called The Athletic, 658 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: which is owned by The New York Times. It is 659 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: a left wing mouthpiece when it comes to sports information there, 660 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: and they're asking Americans basically as to whether they're a 661 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: shamed whether they're ashamed of their country that they represent. 662 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and actually watch both of these clips. 663 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,959 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and begin with the female tens player 664 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: who's asked about this. She is a very well known 665 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: American TENNS player with the name of Amanda Honesto Mova. 666 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: Go ahead and watch this. 667 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 5: Like in my other press conference, the fact that I 668 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 5: didn't want to answer a question that was obviously intended 669 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 5: for just like a headline and clickbait, that was my 670 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 5: right and it had nothing to do with my political 671 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,959 Speaker 5: views or anything like that. So the fact that people 672 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 5: assume that they know like my stance on certain important 673 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 5: topics is just wrong and it's not factual. But yeah, 674 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 5: that's it's tough, but I've learned to get used to it. 675 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 5: And yeah, I felt like my tweet was just not 676 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 5: worth it, and like I just didn't want to get 677 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 5: my energy. 678 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: All right, So she's explaining why she did not answer 679 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: this other dumb question about whether she's proud to be 680 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: an American with everything happening with Trump and Ice, whether 681 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: she's proud id to be to be a Russian immigrant, 682 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: things like that. They're very similar situation. By the way, 683 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 1: by an American who advanced pretty far in the Australian 684 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: Open by name of Leerner ten also the son of immigrants. 685 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 2: Go ahead and watch this clip as well. 686 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 6: It's been a big day for both you and Ivoyovitch. 687 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 6: She really sort of feel like the the future for 688 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,919 Speaker 6: American tennis between you. It's also interesting that you're both 689 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 6: second gen immigrants to the US, like in the context 690 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 6: of everything that's happening at the moment with Trump and Ice, 691 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 6: like what does your heritage mean to you? And how 692 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 6: important are immigrants to America and American sport today? 693 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't I really wanted to talk about that 694 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 2: right now, all. 695 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: Right, So, in a word, good for both of them, 696 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: Good for both these individuals. But by the way, Amanda Anisimova, 697 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: you know from a clearly Russian heritage is better as Russian. 698 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: His name agets. I mean, have you ever met someone 699 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: who fled so he had communism. Who is anything other 700 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: than on the political rights? I really I have a 701 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 1: lot of Russian friends, a lot of friends who personally 702 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: were born in the Old Soviet Union, who were born 703 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: in Moscow, whose parents fled. They're pretty much to a tee, 704 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: they are all conservative. So clearly the reporter a total 705 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: dimwit and not really thinking that one through. And good 706 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: for learner ten as well as learned. Ten had a 707 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,320 Speaker 1: great run here. He is now out unfortunately, but he 708 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: had a great run, and he too is like, you 709 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: know what, I'm not touching that. 710 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 2: The question is why. 711 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: The question is why do we have these dimwit reporters 712 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,720 Speaker 1: who are playing these clickbait gotcha games with these amazing athletes, 713 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: athletes who are representing their country on the most prestigious, 714 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: biggest sporting stages in the world, in this case, the 715 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 1: first of the four tennis Grand sent Events. It is 716 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: because they are ideological actors. They're there to advance their ideology. 717 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: Sports for them is simply the means to do so. 718 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: The end is leftism. The means have to be subsumed 719 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: to the end. It's kind of a Lenskyism, isn't it. 720 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: Saul Lensky, when of Barack Obama's great mentor is back 721 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: at Chicago Community Organizing, infamously taught in his Rules for 722 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: Radicals that the ends always do justify the means, as 723 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: Joseph Stalin and his his second and third in command, 724 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: as they all put it around the time of the Helotamore, 725 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,359 Speaker 1: the deliberate starvation of the Ukrainians for to six million 726 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,720 Speaker 1: of them slaughtered during this deliberately induced famine nineteen thirties. 727 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: As the Stalinists put it at the time, if you're 728 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: going to make an omelet, you have to break a 729 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,720 Speaker 1: few eggs. That's the ends, just by the means. Mentality, 730 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: that's Lensky. I'm not saying that these liberal reporters playing 731 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 1: these stupid Gatchi games are supportive of mass starvation, deduced famine, genocide. 732 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying, though, that on a lower level is a 733 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: similar mentality. But more generally speaking, lower Ingram had this 734 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 1: right many years ago when she famously said about Lebron James, 735 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: shut up and driple. Sports is, in theory, a grand unifier. 736 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: It should be at least we cheer on the Olympics. 737 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: The winter limbings are coming out in just a couple 738 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: weeks here in Italy. Shouldn't we all Republican Democrat left 739 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: right alike rally around the flag? Is this not one 740 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: of the only remaining unifying cultural totems, one of the 741 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: only remaining comm denominators. Is there nothing else that we 742 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 1: can look to to hold us together? For a long time, 743 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: that was sports. That's slipping. That's why ESPN is getting 744 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: decreasing ratings. Why Clay Travis was able to sell out 745 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: Kick to Fox News for a oodle's rules of money there, 746 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: it's changing. I hate it as a sports geek, as 747 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: a ports nerd big fan, I really really absolutely hated. 748 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: I hope it changes, but frankly, I can't say that 749 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm too optimistic about that. Hope it enjoys today show. Everyone, 750 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 1: have a great rest of your evening. I'm Josh Hammer. 751 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: We'll see you right back here tomorrow.
