Speaker 2: Hey, welcome into the christ Stigall Show podcast. Thanks a

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: lot for choosing this show because I realize there are

14
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: a gazillion of them you could be listening to instead.

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: So the fact that you subscribe to this one and

16
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: you don't miss it, it means a ton to us.

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 2: Thank you. There are a lot of people that work

18
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: very hard to make it happen, and there are a

19
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: lot of great people who sponsor our show too and

20
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: make it complimentary to you, like US medical plan dot com.

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: My friend John Roulman at US medical Plan dot com

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: is doing something with health insurance that there aren't many

23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: people in the country doing, and that is plugging you

24
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: in into about one hundred or so different private health

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: insurance companies across the country to give you the very

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: very best rates. Now, listen, I understand that right now,

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: particularly this time of year, is when people are doing

28
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: the open enrollment thing and they are very very confused.

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: If you are a supplemental health insurance buyer with Medicare,

30
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: there are a lot of choices out there. Are you

31
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: getting the best rates? Hard to know? John knows, though,

32
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: You've just got to give him a couple of minutes

33
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: on the phone. It will take a couple of minutes,

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: but you will save money. And you know how I

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: know because my own parents have saved hundreds of dollars

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: a month with John Rouman at US Medical plan dot com. Now,

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: if you are a small business owner and you'd like

38
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: to buy insurance for your employees, but you want to

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: save a buck or two, John knows exactly the best

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: rates on group insurance. You buy your own insurance for

41
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: your family in addition to employees, same deal. John's got

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: the best rates.

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 5: Do you know.

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 2: I have a friend who just got Cobra through John

45
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: and saved about six hundred dollars a month versus what

46
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: she was being offered through her former employer. John knows

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: how to save you money and keep you covered in

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: health insurance, but you've got to make the call eight

49
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: seven seven four one zero forty three twenty one eight

50
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: seven seven four one zero forty three twenty one or

51
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: US Medical Plan dot Com. I don't know what's hard

52
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: to understand about this. Ladies and gentlemen here, welcome in

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: on this Tuesday edition of The stick All Show. I

54
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: hope you're doing well. We're watching Caracas, Venezuela this morning

55
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: on the Salem News Channel, waving their flags with pride

56
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: lining the streets. They're very happy down there in Caracas,

57
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: despite Democrats, mainstream media, and frankly some who pretend to

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: be Republicans on our side but really are just clickbait.

59
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: I don't know Carnival Barker's for want of a better term. Look,

60
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: we're in a competitive era. It's twenty twenty six. Media

61
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: is splintering. People need attention fast, Eddy. The attention getting

62
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: show to do is to pretend that a show of

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: force and a president flexing, an American president flexing and

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: minding the hemisphere whose boss the show to get clicks

65
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: is to say this is an outrageous thing. This is

66
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: mission creep, This is totalitarianism. We don't do these sorts

67
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: of things. This isn't mega, this isn't America for this

68
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: is exactly America first. And that's not your show. If

69
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: you want one of those shows, there's certainly people out

70
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: there doing it. Mind you, they made their millions on

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: mainstream networks like Fox for years, and now they're pretending

72
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: to be you know, anti establishment woke ritists. I love

73
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: that these people that have made million, literally millions of

74
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: dollars sitting behind cable newsdesks for years and years, built

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: their fame behind the cable newsdesk. Now they're hosting shows

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: trying to convince you that the guy they stumped for

77
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: a year ago is a bad guy. Ed, I just

78
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 2: love and that somehow flexing American power and American might

79
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: for good is now in fact a perverse bad thing

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: and you should be highly suspicious of it. You would

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: expect as much from Democrats. But the cynical business model

82
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: now on our side is to try to convince people

83
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: in our own audiences that this is somehow a bad thing.

84
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: You're not going to find that here, though, Ed rest assured, no, absolutely, not.

85
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: How does that help the movement?

86
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 6: How does that help Donald Trump achieve what he's going

87
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: to achieve for us in this very short window that

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 6: we have until the midterms.

89
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get the sense that there are certain folks

90
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: that are no longer interested in being helpful. And I

91
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: don't mean just being helpful to power for the sake

92
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: of being helpful to power, like a propagandist. I don't

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 2: mean that, but a propagandist for the country, Damn straight,

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: I am. I am a propagandist for the United States

95
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: of America, and I'm apologetic propagandist for the United States

96
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: of America because I believe in the goodness and the

97
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: decency of the United States of America. I believe that

98
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: this is the greatest, best, last hope for free people

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: in the world. There is still as flawed as we are.

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: There is no better country. There is no better design

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: than this country. Its founding was simply genius. It was supernatural,

102
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: It was divinely inspired. I believe that I don't believe

103
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: that we are totalitarians. I don't believe that we're out

104
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: for conquest. This country has never been about conquest. I

105
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: believe Donald Trump when he sees a threat. He says,

106
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: we're neutralizing the threat, and we want a strong Venezuela.

107
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: We want the people of Venezuela to be strong and wealthy,

108
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: because when they're strong and stable and wealthy, they take

109
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: care of themselves. They fight to preserve what they have.

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: Most of all, they don't mean us trouble. They open

111
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: up commerce with us. They pump oil. We control the

112
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: western hemisphere. We keep the really bad guys that is

113
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: China in particular, and Iran, we keep them at bay.

114
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: We choke them off. This is not hard to understand.

115
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 5: This is.

116
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: Peace through strength. I mean, ever since I was a kid,

117
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: one of the very first things I understand about Ronald

118
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: Reagan was peace through strength. That is the easiest concept

119
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: to understand. Fascinating. Just goes back to when you were

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: in elementary school. Did you screw with the strongest guy

121
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: in class? If you you know, if there's a if

122
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: there's a kid in the hall that's towering over you

123
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: by you a couple of feet in elementary school, did

124
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: you screw with him or did you leave him alone?

125
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: I left him alone. Yeah, you go picking fights with

126
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: guys twice your size just for the sake of picking

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: fights because you want to assert your dominance. This is

128
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: pretty much kind of survival of the fittest nature. I mean,

129
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: this is kind of the way things work. You don't

130
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 2: screw with people who are bigger and stronger than you generally,

131
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: Is that true?

132
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not going to initiate a fight with someone

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 6: bigger and stronger than me, right, exactly?

134
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 5: Are you?

135
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: Are you going to plot with other little thugs who

136
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: are weaker to try to take out the bully generally speaking?

137
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: I mean, because it's you know, you know the old axiom,

138
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 2: if you're going to shoot at the king, you better

139
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: not miss. Yeah, yeah, it's a yes. I actually you would,

140
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: You're you're dueling your deal. You would, you would try it.

141
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: But the thing is you're dealing with a bunch of

142
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: lesser entities in China and Iran, in those that mean

143
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: US harm, who can't fund anything legitimate without the use

144
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: of drugs and oil. Right, That's how that's their mo

145
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: That's what funds everything they do, drugs and oil, drugs

146
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: and oil, drugs and oil. So what does President Trump do?

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: He takes out the drugs and he takes out the oil.

148
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: And now those that would mean us harm. They've got

149
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: one less card to play, and they were reminded who's

150
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: the big dog in town. I don't feel I don't

151
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: feel even a little bit sorry about that.

152
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 7: Ed.

153
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. I don't know what

154
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: that makes me. I don't know if that makes me

155
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: an old head. But I'm still call me crazy, but

156
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: I am still a flag waving American who believes we

157
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: are a force for good, not of conquests. We're not

158
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: trying to dominate Western hemisphere, and that we want to

159
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: run it all and make it the extension of the

160
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: United States. You know, I think the Greenland thing is

161
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: a joke. I don't think actually means that. It just

162
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: it upsets people. We're not out for conquest. We never

163
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: have been. And I don't believe Donald Trump is. I

164
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: see no evidence of that. He wants a stable Western hemisphere,

165
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: and he wants to tell the people that mean us harm,

166
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: You're not welcome here, and we're gonna cut the head

167
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: off the snake to make it known. We're not letting

168
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: you fund your operations. We're not gonna let you have

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: a base of operations in our backyard and get away

170
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: with it. We're not allowing it. It's that easy to understand,

171
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: and anybody who claims to be on our side pretending

172
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: that they don't or that you should oppose it. I

173
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: don't know what they're up to, but it's not damn

174
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: good in that's all I'll say. I don't know what

175
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: their motive is. I don't know what they're up to,

176
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: but it's not good. I don't either.

177
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 6: And especially we see the images from Caracas, we see

178
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 6: people who have fled Venezuela in America celebrating in the streets.

179
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 6: We see how the people have reacted to what Trump

180
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 6: and the US by and large has done.

181
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing is, I understand Democrats reflexively hate Donald Trump,

182
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: and they're going to reflexively oppose everything Donald Trump does.

183
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Here again, I find myself starting the year agitated that

184
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: there are supposedly people who I readily confess they have

185
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: audiences that are impressive. But again, they've amassed audiences and

186
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: fame and money from sitting behind cable news desks that

187
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: were pumped into people's homes for decades, and we're supposed

188
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: to listen to them now as legitimate sources. It frosts

189
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: me that they sit behind their little podcasts and pretend

190
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: that there's some kind of independent you know, from the bunker,

191
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: like I'll at least tip my hat to Alex Jones.

192
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: Alex Jones has never been a mainstream guy. Alex Jones

193
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: has never he amassed a following all on his own.

194
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: It's that art Bell scene and then then George Nora

195
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: after that. There are people in the media who I

196
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: never really paid much attention to, but God bless them.

197
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: They found an audience and they mined that audience, and

198
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: they worked hard for years and years and years to

199
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: build an audience of people that were just well, let's

200
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: just say they had alternative forms of you. I'll leave

201
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: it at that, no need to editorialize, didn't necessarily always

202
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 2: see I'd eye with him, didn't always disagree with them,

203
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: wasn't particularly interested in them. But they did it on

204
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: their own. They built shows questioning authority or what have you. Fine,

205
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: there's someone out there now who literally yesterday said, and

206
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm roughly paraphrasing, you know, if I still worked at Fox,

207
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: I know what they'd have me saying tonight. They'd have

208
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: me out there flag waving and pretending that this is

209
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: the greatest thing what Trump has done taking out Maduro

210
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: in Venezuela. Well, I'm sure glad I'm not at Fox anymore.

211
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: Fine for you to say. Now, you made your bones there,

212
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: you became famous there, and then you decided to go

213
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: to NBC and go to Vanity Fair parties and play

214
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: Miss Hollywood La La Land for a while and do

215
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: Vanity Fair cover shoots and you pretend that transgender kids

216
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: were fine and Aoka, by the way, look that up

217
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: she did. And now all of a sudden she's Miss

218
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: Glenn Greenwald, Alex Jones, damn the man fight after by

219
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: the way, she used Donald Trump and stumped all over

220
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: the country for Donald Trump. Now she pretends she's anti

221
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: Trump like She literally confesses on her show. If I

222
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: were still working for Fox, I would have said the

223
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: hoorish thing Fox wanted me to say. Thank God I

224
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: don't work there anymore. Now you can trust me, she

225
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: says on her show about Venezuela. Yesterday ed not kidding,

226
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: and she has one of the most popular podcasts today,

227
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: A woman who confessed, I have been highly compromised most

228
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: of my career. The reason I'm famous, the reason I

229
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: sit here, the reason you know me is because I

230
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: sat behind a cable newsdesk and towed the company line. Well,

231
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: I'm glad that monkey's off my back. Now I can

232
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: tell you what I really think, she claims last yesterday

233
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: on her show. Among the things she claims she now

234
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: thinks is, of course, that this is just outrageous that

235
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump would take out Maduro in Venezuela.

236
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 5: I I don't know.

237
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: I'm What frosts me the most is there are people

238
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: that listen to these people, and they're being encouraged to

239
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: feel badly about the United States. They're being encouraged. They're

240
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: listening to people run down the country, not just Trump,

241
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: run down the greatness of the country, run down the

242
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: whole point and purpose of what was done in Venezuela.

243
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't like it. You don't have to like Donald Trump.

244
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: You don't have to like Donald Trump's politics. We can

245
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: have a debate about it. But the idea that it's

246
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: something more than a strategic opportunity to assert our dominance

247
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: and mind people who we are and why we exist

248
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: in the Western hemisphere for peace and stability in the world.

249
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: To assert that to your audience, that it's something else

250
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: that's nefarious. Sure, it's good to be with you a

251
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: live look at the detention center there in Brooklyn where

252
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 2: the Maduro's, I wonder which floor they're on. You think

253
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: they gave them the penthouse suite there, And I don't

254
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: know what's considered the high value level for detainees and

255
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: the detention center I've never been in. You put them

256
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: up higher, you put them down low. Paul knows all

257
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: about it. Paul knew an uncomfortable amount about what goes

258
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: on at detention centers in New York. That's all I'm saying.

259
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: So Stephen Miller was appropriately sent out yesterday. This is

260
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: one of my favorite attack dogs from the White House

261
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: to deal with, you know, never mind the people I

262
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: was just talking about, to deal with people like Jake

263
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: Tapper and the others. Stare them down and tell them

264
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: what's what, and remind people that it's okay. Look, it

265
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: is okay. I think I don't think I have to

266
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: tell this audience, but I think it's important to say

267
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: out loud every now and again, it's okay to feel

268
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: pride in country. It is okay to feel proud about

269
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: the strength and assertive of American dominance. It's okay that

270
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: America holds the world's greatest power. That's okay, and you

271
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: should feel proud of that. Edie, do you feel proud

272
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: of that or not? I think that's what I know

273
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: you do. I'm asking rhetorically, but this is what throsts me.

274
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: This is what I'm getting at. Why does it seem

275
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: the left, never mind them, but it seems now it's

276
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: fashionable by some that purport to be on our side

277
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: to be ashamed of American strength and might and dominance.

278
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: What is that? Where does that come from? Exactly?

279
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 6: Honestly, I think it's just to be contrarian. Just in

280
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 6: this age where we have access to so many shows,

281
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 6: so many outlets with which to see them. I think

282
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 6: that's where it comes from. Because I don't know anybody

283
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 6: who is a conservative that is not proud to be

284
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 6: an American. I don't know anybody who is a conservative

285
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 6: who would not cheer.

286
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: On what just happened.

287
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: You know, we didn't lose any soldiers, thank the Lord.

288
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 6: I mean, this was the operations that Trump has conducted

289
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 6: as president, from Solomani to Midnight Hammer to what just

290
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 6: happened in Venezuela. I don't know any conservative in my

291
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 6: life that is not proud of operations.

292
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: Like that, as you point out, without loss of life,

293
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: surgical strikes done effectively, done under secret, done with full might,

294
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: no loss of life, and out not a prolonged stay,

295
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: not a forever war. I don't know what more you

296
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: could ask for, and I think your word contriaring is

297
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: exactly right. Here's Steven Miller, Peppering, Jake Tapper number sixty here,

298
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: if you would please Paully.

299
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 8: First of all, all of Venezuela experts agree. All Venezuela

300
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 8: experts agree that it would be absurd and preposterous for

301
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 8: US to suddenly flatter her into the country and to

302
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 8: put her in charge in the military would follow her,

303
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 8: and the security force US would follow her. This is

304
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 8: not a serious it's not even a serious question. So

305
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 8: should there be an election, let me, if you're giving

306
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 8: the floor for thirty seconds, let me tell you what

307
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 8: we are doing here, Jack, the United States. This is

308
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 8: sort of foundational. The United States is using its military

309
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,239
Speaker 8: to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're superpower,

310
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 8: and under President Trump, we are going to conduct ourselves

311
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 8: as a superpower. It is absurd that we would allow

312
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 8: a nation in our own backyard to become the supplier

313
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 8: of resources to our adversaries, but not to us, to

314
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 8: hoard weapons from our adversaries, to be able to be

315
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 8: positioned as an asset against the United States, rather than

316
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 8: on behalf of the United States sovereign con the Monroe

317
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 8: Doctrine and the.

318
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no sovereign countries that mean us harm in our

319
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: particular in our hemisphere. Jake, No, you can't allow it

320
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: more In a minute, I had to cut Stephen Miller

321
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: off there a little bit, so I think this is

322
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: worth hearing. I just think it's every now and again.

323
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 2: It's just worth hearing a little bit of testosterone on

324
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: behalf of the United States of America, particularly against a

325
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: guy like Jake Tapper who totally lacks it. Give me

326
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: number sixty again, and I'm going to give the full

327
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: runway to Stephen Miller here to lay out why it

328
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: matters that you have a strong United States of America,

329
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: not never mind globally in the Western hemisphere. And Jake

330
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: Tapper very very critical, looking on with great, great consternation,

331
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: looking down his snoot. He doesn't like this because Venezuela,

332
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: after all, a sovereign He says, Venezuela. By the way,

333
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: can we just quickly establish Venezuela was not sovereign. Venezuela

334
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 2: was ruled by a dictator who stole the election. And

335
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: even the guy who stole our election said he stole

336
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: the election, the Husk and his Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln.

337
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: It is widely understood by the European Union and everybody

338
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: else that that guy, that drug running thug that was

339
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: supposedly the president of Venezuela was not the legitimate leader.

340
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: So you can't have a sovereign country run by a

341
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 2: drug runner who stole the election. You can't have it.

342
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: So on its face, the premise that this is some

343
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: sort of sovereign democracy minding it's own business and it's

344
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 2: just a lie. But never mind all that. Back to

345
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: Steven Miller number sixty. Here we go.

346
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 8: First of all, all of Venezuela experts agree, all Venezuela

347
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 8: exwers agree that it would be absurd and preposterous for

348
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 8: US to suddenly fly her into the country and to

349
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 8: put her in charge. In the military would follow her,

350
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 8: and the security force US would follow her. This isn't

351
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 8: this is not a serious it's not even a serious question.

352
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 8: So should there be an election, let me, if you

353
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 8: give me the floor for thirty seconds, let me tell

354
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 8: you what we are doing here, Jenik, the United States.

355
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: This is sort of foundational.

356
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 8: The United States is using its military to secure our

357
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 8: interests unapologetically. In our hemisphere. We're superpower, and under President Trump,

358
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 8: we are going to conduct ourselves as a superpower. It

359
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 8: is absurd that we would have a nation in our

360
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 8: own backyard to become the supplier of resources to our adversaries,

361
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 8: but not to us, to hoard weapons from our adversaries,

362
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 8: to be able to be positioned as an asset against

363
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 8: the United States rather than on behalf of.

364
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: The United States sovereign.

365
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 8: The Monroe doctrine and the Trump doctrine is all about

366
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 8: securing the national interests of America. For years, we sent

367
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 8: our soldiers to die in deserts in the Middle East,

368
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 8: to try to build them parliaments, with Stephen trying to

369
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 8: build them democracies, to try to give them more oil,

370
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 8: to try to give them more resources. The future of

371
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 8: the free world, Jake, depends on America being able to

372
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 8: assert ourselves and our interests without apology. This this whole

373
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 8: period that happened after World War Two, where the West

374
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 8: began apologizing and groveling and begging, engaging these.

375
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 5: It's what I'm talking about, Jake, is the idea.

376
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 8: And by the way you do, I know you love

377
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 8: doing that smarty thing, Jake, and I was hoping to

378
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 8: be better than that this time.

379
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: I'm just I asked you about if it should be

380
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: an election exactly. I asked you if there would be

381
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 3: an election in Venezuela. That's what I asked. I said,

382
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: why was the president so quick to dismiss Machado? You

383
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: answer that question?

384
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 8: And then I said, the objective, Jake, is security and

385
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 8: stability for the people of Venezuela. With our help and leadership,

386
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 8: that country will become more prosperous than it has ever

387
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 8: been in his whole history.

388
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: Venezuela is a woman running in Venezuela right now is

389
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: and part of the majority of Regina off.

390
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 8: There will be there will be conversations shake about all

391
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 8: of these guy posts along the way. The reason why

392
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 8: I was giving you that speech, which I know you

393
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 8: didn't want to hear, is because you're approaching this from

394
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 8: the wrong frame, this neoliberal frame that the United States

395
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 8: jobs to go around the world and demanding immediate elections

396
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 8: be held everywhere, immediately, all the time, right away, to

397
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 8: no vacuums.

398
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 5: That's not what I think.

399
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: But you invaded the country.

400
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: We did into the country, and we seized the leader

401
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 3: of Venezuela.

402
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: Damn straight, we did. And I'm saying we're not going

403
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: So is.

404
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: The US going to have more elections that We're not

405
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: going to.

406
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 8: Let timpot communist dictators send rapists into our country, send

407
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 8: drugs into our country, send weapons into our country. Okay,

408
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 8: and we're not going to let a country fall into

409
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 8: the hands of our adversaries. The future of Venezuela working

410
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 8: with America is going to be so bright and so

411
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 8: incredible and so positive. And we'll have a conversation about

412
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 8: everything that you raised. But the priority right now is

413
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 8: the President has been made clear is a judicious, thoughtful,

414
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 8: careful transition process to secure a great future for Venezuela

415
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 8: and to secure a great future for America. All right,

416
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 8: Let's just take a moment and just acknowledge, Jake that

417
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 8: what we've witnessed under President trips leadership this last week

418
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 8: is one of the greatest foreign policy and military victories

419
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 8: this country has ever had.

420
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 5: The can go.

421
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: America holds the world's greatest power, not because we bragged

422
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: our way there or thumped our chests there. History shoved

423
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: us into the job of being the world's greatest power.

424
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 5: We just are.

425
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: I know that there seem to be people like Jake

426
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: Tapper and many others who aren't comfortable with that or

427
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: don't like that. It's now very fashionable to pretend that

428
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: the American way is not the strength that it used

429
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: to be. It's fashionable now to crap on the country.

430
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: It's fashionable now to say America needs to know its place.

431
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: It's fashionable now to say America needs to stand down

432
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: but out, ignore everything else, Ignore everyone else, not concern

433
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 2: itself with our enemies doing business in our backyard. It's

434
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: not our business. Just stay out of everyone else's business.

435
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: Let them do whatever they please. If your neighbors want

436
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: to host Narco terrorists and sell oil to fund evil

437
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: regimes that would do us harm, not our business, Just

438
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: stay out of it. Because homelessness or something as if

439
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: we can't walk in chew gum. At the same time,

440
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: that's the other thing that's started to get just under

441
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: my skin. I'm getting sick and tired of people saying

442
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: that we can't manage America's problems here at home. While yes,

443
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: in fact, neutralizing threats abroad, threats abroad do exist. It

444
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: is naive and foolish and silly to act like America

445
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,239
Speaker 2: First does not involve every now and again flexing and

446
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: asserting our dominance. What would you call America first if

447
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: not asserting our dominance? That, by definition, that's what makes

448
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: one first. Do you remember when Donald Trump on his

449
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: first term, was it one of those global confabs? And

450
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: everybody said on the left at the time, back when

451
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: it was fashionable for this to just come from the left.

452
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: It's now something that people claiming to be on our

453
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 2: side now do. But remember back when he was at

454
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: one of those global comfab things and he was shoving

455
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: his way to the front of the line for a photo.

456
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 2: You ever that I loved that video. He was kind of.

457
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 6: Elbowing, remember that, d yes, and I left to some

458
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 6: of my against it, I'm like, no, this is amazing,

459
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 6: this is the best.

460
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: I loved that he was There were a bunch of

461
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: people in line for a photo or something, and he

462
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: kind of elbowed his way through and then he got

463
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: up to the front of the line and straightened his jacket.

464
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 2: That's right, Natty's here loved it. When narco terrorists and

465
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 2: communist regimes turn our neighborhood into a weapons pipeline. This

466
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: is not hard to understand. When our neighborhood becomes a

467
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: drug corridor, a chaos factory, hesitating to eliminate it is

468
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: not wisdom, folks, it's not thoughtfulness. It's malpractice. Great powers

469
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: do not sit around waiting for permission to protect their people.

470
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: Great powers act because someone has to act. The global

471
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: community this country, certainly led by both Democrats and Republicans,

472
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: have all acknowledged Maduro's a bad guy. Look, even John

473
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 2: Fetterman acknowledges Maduro's a bad guy and Democrats wanted him going.

474
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: Give me number fifty seven. Here's Fetterman, Democrat, one of

475
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: the most progressive Democrats, by the way, number fifty seven.

476
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 7: So Senator Chris Murphy, your Democratic colleague, called the operation

477
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 7: wildly illegal.

478
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: The America doesn't want this war. Nobody asked for this.

479
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 9: And I think the most important conversation to have is

480
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 9: Venezuela is not a security threat to the United States.

481
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: They're not threatening to invade us. Do you want to

482
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: take this on.

483
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, I respect my friend in Connecticut, but

484
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 10: we have different views on this and perhaps other views

485
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 10: as well. Again, I just said this on my social

486
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 10: media that you know, remind everybody that America is a

487
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 10: force of good order and democracy and we are promoting

488
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 10: these kinds of values. We are the good guys. You know,

489
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 10: let's pretend that how we are acting in a way. Now,

490
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 10: Remember we all democrats years ago wanted to eliminate him

491
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 10: and they why have a bounty of five million dollars

492
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 10: if we didn't want him gone? Why would you do

493
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 10: these things if you weren't willing to actually do something.

494
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean John Fetterman, who had

495
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: a massive stroke and still struggles to communicate, communicates it

496
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: better than some that claim to be on our side,

497
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: that actually stumped with this president when he was a candidate.

498
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: It's we don't source outsource American security to people who

499
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: don't pay the price when things fall apart. History is

500
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: brutally clear on this point. Weakness does not by peace.

501
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: It incentivizes chaos, and the bill always comes due when

502
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: you show weakness. Always. This week, starting tomorrow. I'm actually

503
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 2: authoring a three part series at my newsletter, the Hrump Society,

504
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: on what President Trump has now labeled the Donro Doctrine.

505
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 2: The Donro Doctrine using domestic strength foreign policy in one

506
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: single system, growth at home, enforcement abroad, trade creates, alignment,

507
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: power protects trade. America uses both so free societies don't

508
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 2: have to pretend the world is kinder than it is.

509
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: It's the Donro Doctrine, and we're going to be celebrating

510
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: it at the Hrump Society this week. Three part series

511
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 2: begins tomorrow. Let's head to the phones. Haven't taken a

512
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: call yet, you know this would be the first call

513
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: of the new year. I was so windy yesterday I

514
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: don't think I took a single phone called Nicholas's in Pennsylvania.

515
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: Happy new Year, Nicholas. I think I can still say that.

516
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: Welcome into the show.

517
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 11: Yes, so of course you can't. Happy new Year to

518
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 11: you and yours and your crew their I've been with

519
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 11: you from day one here, okay, and I'm a big fan, Chris.

520
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 11: I want to ask a simple question here, if I may,

521
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 11: what the hell good are these Democrats for? What good

522
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 11: of they've done for a great nation. What do they

523
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 11: do other than be a devious force, a detrimental force.

524
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 11: They really are an existential threat to this nation. They

525
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 11: hey us, they throw us under the bus. They're absolutely nuts.

526
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 11: What the hell good today? But you know what they

527
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 11: do good, Chris. There's civil tongue, silver tongue devils. I

528
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 11: call them word saucers. They could talk a brick off

529
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 11: the wall. And they're not stupid, they're smart, but they're crazy.

530
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 11: And I'm worried. I'm worried about the midterms because people

531
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 11: are stupid the way they vote. It's just done real.

532
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 11: I'm really worried, Chris.

533
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: You know, well, it's a little early to be worried.

534
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: So Nicholas, I understand your frustration. What you need now

535
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: are great unapologetic communicator. Steven Miller is doing that work.

536
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: I'd like to see more about other members of Congress.

537
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: Pete Hexath, Nicholas is doing that work. Give me number

538
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: fifty three. Here's Pete Hexath doing what Pete Hexath does,

539
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: going out there and flexing and unapologetically defending the commander

540
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: in chief and the work that his men and women

541
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: do in our fighting forces. Number fifty three from here.

542
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 12: On behalf of the president, who has, from his first

543
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 12: day in office, operated on a few core principles at

544
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 12: the baseline, pure unadulterated common sense. First, that a leader's

545
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 12: primary duty is to put America and Americans first. Second,

546
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 12: that the surest and only real path path to peace

547
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 12: is through strength. We're in the strength business. You are

548
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 12: in the strength business. And third that a nation that

549
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 12: cannot build things, a nation that can't create its own tools,

550
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 12: or its own defenses, or its own future, is a

551
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 12: nation that is in managed decline.

552
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 13: President Donald J.

553
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 12: Trump looked at that managed decline, a decline that it

554
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 12: been accepted by elites in both parties, and he rejected it,

555
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 12: and we fundamentally reject it. And in doing so, he

556
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 12: has unleashed a great American revival, a reawakening of our

557
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 12: industrial spirit and our national confidence, a new golden age

558
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 12: for America that you are all a part of building.

559
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: Precisely, and he continued in clip fifty four.

560
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 9: Not to mention drug boats in the Caribbean and the

561
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 9: Eastern Pacific carrying drugs headed to the United States a

562
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 9: poisoning the American people. We're not playing the whole catching

563
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 9: release game anymore. These are foreign terrorist organizations, the Al

564
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 9: Qaeda of our hemisphere, and we will sink every drug

565
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 9: boat headed in our direction.

566
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: Now, somehow, there are people and again, never mind Democrats,

567
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: there are people who claim to be Republicans or Trump

568
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: voters who say, this is not America first, this is

569
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: not mega And I don't know why American strength, American might, rebuilding,

570
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: American military, asserting American strength. I don't know what about

571
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 2: that is not maga, of course it is. They're very

572
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: wound up that Trump is threatening US action in five

573
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: other nations following. You know, Trump keeps winking at this. Hey, Columbia,

574
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: see what we did in Venezuela over the weekend. I'd

575
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: be ashamed if that happened. He's folks, he's flexing. We're

576
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: not going to war with all of Latin America. Just

577
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 2: calm the hell down and understand strength and don't apologize

578
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: for it for in a minute. Yes, I know it's

579
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: the holidays. I know this is not a time of

580
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: year most people think about losing weight. But you know,

581
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: our executive producer Fast Eddie is doing it. He's using

582
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: PhD weight loss right now as a weight loss tool

583
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: through the holiday season. It can be done. And you

584
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: know how, I know in just two weeks time. Right

585
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 2: now as we speak, he's on the program, and the

586
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: first two weeks of the program he's already dropped eight pounds.

587
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: Now you know, I told you the reason he's doing it,

588
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: because I told you I lost forty pounds in under

589
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: four months earlier this year. Eddie said, I want to

590
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: try it. I said, it's almost the holidays. He said,

591
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: I don't care. I want to try it. And he's

592
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 2: lost eight pounds in two weeks time. He works with

593
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: his counselor, same as I work with my counselor. I've

594
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: kept the weight off. I'm going to probably go for

595
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: another twenty in the new year. But the point is

596
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: right now, I've hit idle on purpose. I'm maintaining my

597
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: weight loss because my counselor at PhD Weight Loss has

598
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: taught me exactly what I need to do to maintain maintain,

599
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: and then when I want to re engage and kick

600
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: it into full gear and start losing more in the

601
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: new year, I can. The best part about PhD Weight

602
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: Loss this time of year is they're very well aware

603
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: this is a hard time to get people motivated to

604
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: lose weight. But if you find yourself motivated like fast

605
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: Eddie is, they're going to give you a heck of

606
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: a deal. Right now. They're making it even easier to

607
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: get started because they're going to waive your consultation fee entirely.

608
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: They're going to add two weeks to your program totally free,

609
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: and they're going to cover all costs of food. This

610
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: will be now. Everybody's going to start trying to lose

611
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: weight in January. Everybody will call and you're not going

612
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: to get a deal like this. Then you start this program.

613
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: Now you're going to get a huge savings and doctor

614
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: Ashley Lucas is going to throw in her brand new book,

615
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: which is also a great read. She is Maha as

616
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: they get. She has put together a marvelous way to

00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: save money where they can. If you buy your own

631
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: health insurance or if you're on Obamacare, you know how

632
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: expensive those premiums are getting. It's why I've sent my

633
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: own parents, my personal friends, and my colleagues to John

634
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 2: Rulman and his team at US medical Plan dot com.

635
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: John works with one hundred different private health insurance companies

636
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: across the country to find you the very best coverage

637
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 2: at the very best rates. My own parents saved four

638
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month each on their Medicare supplemental health

639
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 2: insurance premiums reaching out to John Roulman and Usmedicalplan dot com.

640
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: I have a friend in between jobs. She reached out

641
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: to US Medical Plan to replace her Cobra insurance rates

642
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: saved six hundred dollars a month. A personal friend who

643
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: buys his own families health insurance out of pocket. I

644
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: send him to John and now he's saving one thousand

645
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 2: dollars a month. Listen, folks, this is one of the

646
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: easiest ways to save appreciable money every month without sacrificing coverage.

651
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,800

652
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: to say Happy New Year? Still, can you still do that?

653
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: There's a great I just I just posted on Instagram.

654
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: I saw a clip come up in my reels of

655
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: a great curb your enthusiasm exchange Larry David had with

656
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 2: a woman in the gym. She said Happy New Year.

657
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: It was like the middle of the year or something,

658
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: and he was arguing with her about when the term

659
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: happy New Year expires, and by the way, why does

660
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: everything have to be happy? It was a classic Larry

661

00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: to my knowledge. Maybe the Ned Ryan of American Majority

680
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 2: jumping back in for the new year. Boy, news cycle

681
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: is white hot. Not just to speak of Venezuela and

682
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: what went on there, Something really important is going on

683
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: in Iran right now, and that is in the streets,

684
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: people roiling. You've got leadership there. The Ayatola and others

685
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: are now talking about maybe fleeing to Russia if things

686
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: continue to get ugly. In fact, I have a story

687
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: in front of me this morning that says Iran is

688
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 2: now offering monthly payments to citizens just to calm them down,

689
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: begging them please just calm down and we'll give you

690
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: cash if you'll stop giving us a hard time. That

691
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: speaks of a leadership that is really beginning to lose

692
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: its grip. Here to discuss it. I Raza Jafarzada. We've

693
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 2: had him on the show before. He has a great

694
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: resource to us. He is the deputy director of the

695
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 2: US Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran,

696
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: the author of the Iran Threat and mister Jivarzada. Happy

697
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 2: New Year, Welcome into the show, sir.

698
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 14: Good morning, good money, Chris, and happy new Year to you.

699
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 13: It's always a pleasure to be on your show. We

700
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 13: have a lot to discuss.

701
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: We should do, and I want to get started with

702
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 2: this consternation in the streets of Iran. We've heard about

703
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: this for a long time, that the citizens of Iran

704
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: want something different, and they want rid of the regime

705
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: that governs them at present, and it seems like it's

706
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 2: gotten more aggressive or the volume is louder than we've

707
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: ever seen it before. What can you report about what's

708
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 2: going on there right now?

709
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 13: Chris, you're correct.

710
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 14: The uprising started back in at least twenty seventeen, and

711
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 14: every time the nations stood up, the regime tried to

712
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 14: suppress them, hoping that this will put an end to

713
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 14: all of the dissatisfaction and the discontent and the revolt

714
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 14: against the regime.

715
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 13: But they're dead wrong.

716
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 14: And this is the second week of uprisings that started

717
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 14: in Tehran by the small business people, the merchants against

718
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 14: the value irrenily currency losing big time, and so that

719
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 14: was augmented by other sectors of the society joining the

720
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 14: poor that deprived smaller towns and cities and expanded to

721
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 14: over one hundred cities in less than a.

722
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 13: Week on almost all provinces of Iran. And then the

723
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 13: students joined.

724
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 14: And the call basically is death to comedy, which is

725
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 14: the supreme leader of the Irano regime, Death to the dictator,

726
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 14: death to the oppressor, will be the Shah the supreme leader,

727
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 14: making it very clear that they don't want to return

728
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 14: to any form of dictatorships. They are looking forward for

729
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 14: freedom and democracy. Now, the foundational calls for these protests

730
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 14: are economic. You know, people are getting poorer and poorer

731
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 14: every day, and the Molos, who sit on the second

732
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 14: largest oil and gas reserves combined in the world, are

733
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 14: getting richer.

734
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 13: The revolution guards are getting more money.

735
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 14: The money goes to the proxies of the Irano regime,

736
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 14: to the development of nuclear weapons, their missile program, to

737
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 14: the drone program, and the people of Iran.

738
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 13: The only thing they get is executions. Chris.

739
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 14: You know, just in the twenty twenty five there were

740
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 14: twenty two hundred executions of prisoners, many of them politic

741
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 14: called prisoners and women, with the hope that this would

742
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 14: prevent another round of uprisings.

743
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 13: It backfired badly.

744
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: Ali Raza Jafarzada with US again, Deputy director of the

745
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 2: US Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

746
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: How much do you think the events in Venezuela over

747
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 2: the weekend have inflamed what's going on in the streets

748
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: of Iran. Have they been able to see it? I know,

749
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: media and social media access is controlled, tightly controlled in Iran.

750
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: But do you think what happened in Venezuela has resonated

751
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 2: in Iran.

752
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 14: What happened in Venezuela certainly didn't help Dietolas. I think

753
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 14: the most nervous person at the time was the Supreme leader, Comedy,

754
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 14: because he saw his biggest ally in the Western hemisphere,

755
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 14: Maduro gone, and this added to the concerns that he

756
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 14: already had when he lost his biggest ally in the

757
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 14: Middle East, that was Assad.

758
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 13: Who was ruling Syria. He was gone. A lot of

759
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 13: the proxies of the Iran O region.

760
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 14: On top of the list was Hezbolah were badly shattered

761
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 14: and weakened, and their nuclear weapons program, you know what

762
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 14: other advancements he had made is gone. So obviously this

763
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 14: was a tough time for the Molas and the people

764
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 14: see that, even though there is.

765
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 13: Censorship everywhere, but such a huge news.

766
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 14: There's not a single person in Iran that didn't see

767
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 14: Maduro going down. And they know about Madua because Maduu

768
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 14: had traveled to Iran and met with Hamedy. They made

769
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 14: a big thing about him and how Iran as you know,

770
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 14: as presence everywhere and the relationship between Venezuela and they

771
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 14: ran a regime has been very extensive and the people

772
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 14: were unhappy with the way the money was spent there.

773
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: Do you think the leadership in Iran, mister Giafarzada, are

774
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: they contemplating a what if scenario?

775
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 6: Now?

776
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: Do you think they're actually I read a story yesterday

777
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 2: that they were planning potential exits to Russia if need be.

778
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: I don't think Donald Trump is thinking about it.

779
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 5: I don't.

780
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 2: I don't know that that even would be the smartest move.

781
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting I'm cheerleading this, but I'm wondering do

782
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 2: they think, oh my gosh, Trump may come for us next.

783
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 15: Well, the biggest concern of the Mollahs, before you know,

784
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 15: the international situation shifting against him, has been always their

785
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 15: own population.

786
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 14: The regimes afraid of the organized resistance against Cietola.

787
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 13: You know, there's been nearly.

788
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 14: Forty years of resistance against the regime. That's the biggest concern,

789
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 14: and that just last week Supremedia comedy spoke and his

790
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 14: supporters in the room were chanting death in America, death

791
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 14: to the m K, which is the main organized force

792
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 14: opposing the Iran regime. This is the same force that

793
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 14: exposed the key and major nuclear sites of Iran. This

794
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 14: is the main force that is acting as the engine

795
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 14: for change, leading the protests and has been the main

796
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 14: victim of repression and killings and terrorism of the Iran regime.

797
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 13: I have before me right here a book. It's a

798
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 13: very thick book. You can see how thick it is.

799
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 14: It contains names and particulars of twenty thousand members and

800
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 14: supporters of this movement who have been killed by the

801
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 14: round regime for political reasons. So there's a history of resistance,

802
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 14: you know. You see the protests. It's not spontaneous. It's

803
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 14: not because something economic happened here and there.

804
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 13: It has deep roots.

805
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 14: There is a strong culture of resistance against the regime

806
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 14: and people are very clear on what they want. You know,

807
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 14: there's this movement is led by a woman, missus Mariam

808
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 14: Raja Vishi has introduced a platform for the future of

809
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 14: Iran that says the legitimacy comes only from ballot box,

810
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 14: separation of religion and state, gender equality, freedom of press,

811
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 14: freedom of political parties, freedom of religion, free market economy

812
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 14: and non nuclear Iran.

813
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 13: That's the future.

814
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: Mister Parsar was just about thirty seconds to go. If

815
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: the Molas, the Iatola, if they were no longer in

816
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: power and the people got their wish and this regime

817
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: was toppled, what do you think would come of Iran?

818
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 2: Would it become a democracy, would it become a capitalist economy?

819
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 2: What do you think?

820
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,959
Speaker 13: Absolutely it's going to be the democracy.

821
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 14: And I mentioned the organized sports that the platform they have.

822
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 14: They also have a plan for transition. They believe in

823
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 14: a non nuclear republican Iran. They believe in a non

824
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 14: beligerent Iran. But they're you know, very committed to the

825
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 14: principles of democracy and human rights and political purism, especially

826
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 14: when it comes to women. Chris just imagined when Iran

827
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 14: is free, it's a democratic is republic.

828
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 13: And what an impact it would have, not.

829
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 14: Just on some ninety million population in Iran, but the

830
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 14: entire region who have seen Tehran being the head of

831
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 14: the sake of war and terror.

832
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 13: Hopefully that will change and have a big impact globally.

833
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: Mister Giafarzada, we will stay close on this important story.

834
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: The world is shifting quickly and we hope Iran is

835
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: for the good part of that. Thank you for so much.

836
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: Happy New Year. We'll see in a minute.

837
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 13: Thank you, thank you so much happing here.

838
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: This guy, Graham Platner. We started covering him late in

839
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 2: the year up there in Maine. I don't know what

840
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 2: is in the water in Maine, but lordie, this is

841
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: the guy, the shirtless guy, the guy that said, I'll

842
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 2: prove I'm not a Nazi here, let me take off

843
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 2: my shirt. I think in campaign history a federal candidate

844
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: for office fasted he You'll have to check my homework

845
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: on this. I don't know that we've ever seen someone

846
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: run for federal office who's removed his shirt to prove

847
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 2: he's not a Nazi. I'm not sure that that's ever happened. Twice,

848
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 2: can you confirm?

849
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 6: I think I can confirm that. And yes, taking off

850
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 6: his shirt to prove that he had the Nazi tattoo

851
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 6: that he did have like that has been since fixed.

852
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: So again, if you don't know much about Graham Platner,

853
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 2: Graham Platner is running. He's vying with Governor Janet Mills

854
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 2: to become the Democrat nominee against Susan Collins, who is

855
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 2: running for her fifth term up there in Maine. Graham

856
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: Platner would like to be the senator from Maine, and

857
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: he got all liquored up and got himself a Nazi tattoo,

858
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 2: and he's acknowledged it. This is not me just speculating.

859
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 2: He said, oh, yeah, sure, but I was drunk because

860
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: as you know, and I as a former drinker, I

861
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: talked to you about this yesterday. As a guy who

862
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 2: drank a lot in his day, you know the number

863
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 2: of times I'd get liquored up and people had to

864
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: stop me stick all time to go home and sleep

865
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 2: it off. And I said, no, damn it, I want

866
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 2: a Nazi tattoo. They'd say no. But you know, but

867
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: for the grace of God, friends and family stopped me

868
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: fast Eddie during my drinking years from getting the Nazi

869
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 2: tattoo emblazoned on my pectoral as I wanted. Said, no

870
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: one ever. That's never happened in human history except by bigots.

871
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 2: So this Graham Platner guy gets he claims I got

872
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 2: drunk and put on a Nazi tattoo on my chest.

873
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 2: And he said, but don't worry, don't sweat it. It's

874
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: gone now. I put I had some guys tattoo over it.

875
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 2: You don't believe me here, and he rips his shirt

876
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 2: off on a show to show everybody that he's now

877
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: papered over the Nazi tattoo with some new ink. So

878
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 2: we're supposed to feel great about this, Well, Democrats do.

879
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 2: This guy has raised five million dollars since then, five

880
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 2: million dollars. He is far and away the front runner

881
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: probably to be the lead dog Democrat to take on

882
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 2: Susan Collins of Maine. Is that not amazing? But this

883
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 2: is who the Democrats are. They are Nazis, and they

884
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: embrace Nazis, and they embrace extremism. Did you see the

885
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: guy that vandalized jd Vance's home? Another one of these

886
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 2: trans wackos. Guy that thinks he's a girl and has

887
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: parents that donated eleven million dollars or eleven thousand dollars

888
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 2: excuse me to the Cackle Bridges campaign. It's who Democrats are, folks.

889
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: You know, through all of the news about Maduro over

890
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: the weekend and the new year starting and whatnot, Julie

891
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: Kelly I was watching her on social media and the

892
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 2: one thing she said is, boy, oh boy, the guy

893
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: that's undoubtedly the happiest about all of this, Jack Smith,

894
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: That's what I love about Julie. She always brings us

895
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: right back down to earth. She is at subs deck.

896
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 2: If you don't read her work, you really ought to.

897
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 2: Julie Kelly at subs Deck Julie Kelly dot subsdeck dot

898
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: com and joins us to kick off the new year.

899
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 2: Happy Insurrection Day. It just coincidentally happens to be the

900
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 2: sixth of January, which happens to be an appropriate day,

901
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: as you've probably done better reporting on Jay six than

902
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 2: anybody out there. So Happy Insurrection Day to you, and

903
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, madam.

904
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: Yes, Happy New Year, Chris, thank you for having me on.

905
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: And yes, happy five year anniversary believe it or not

906
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: of our fedsurrection that apparently, I think there's a hearing

907
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: being held today by Democrats who are still trying to

908
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: promote all of the lies about what happened before and

909
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: on that day. So this day will never will never

910
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: end for Democrats in the media, every day is January.

911
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: Sixth, Julie. I asked her rumfers at my newsletter on substack.

912
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: By the way, well I'm shamelessly self promoting. I asked

913
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 2: what they thought was going to be the biggest deal

914
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: Trump could do for twenty twenty six, like what would

915
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: make the greatest impact, What are they most excited for?

916
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: And I gave them a list of choices. Among them,

917
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 2: you know, juice, the economy, fire the FED chair. Let's

918
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: see what was another one, do away with the filibuster.

919
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 2: And I've forgotten all the choices, but one of them

920
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: was justice. I want to see justice done. I want

921
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: to see some prosecutions. I want to see DOJ move

922
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: and far and away. That's what took it, Julie. Then

923
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: they don't want to talk about the economy more. They

924
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: don't want to talk about law enforcement more in the

925
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 2: sense of you know, even domestic you know, the border

926
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: or whatever. It's all important. But what I gather is

927
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: people listening to us right now, the lion's share of

928
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: them still feel unsatisfied that justice is being served. Do

929
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: you share that point of view?

930
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: I absolutely do, And of course your astute followers and

931
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: readers are right on target. And I think that looking back,

932
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: this would probably be one of the biggest criticisms of

933
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: the president's first year. Not necessarily the president, because of

934
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: course he's dealing with so many crises that are emerging

935
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 1: and then left behind by the Biden regime, but also

936
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: just the Department of Justice and making sure and Congress right,

937
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: Congress has a role here. So we just saw this,

938
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: and I know we'll talk about Jacksmith's deposition, but I

939
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: think we all envision a lot of public hearings with

940
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: a lot of these characters like Jack Smith taking public testimony,

941
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: exposing what was done to the president, exposing what was

942
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: done to the January sixth defendants on a weekly basis,

943
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 1: and we just didn't see that. So I think that

944
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: that is a huge disappointment. But I do see that

945
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: even Senator Charles Wrestley, who's the chairman of the Senate

946
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, said last week that they were going to

947
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: start holding a lot of these hearings early in twenty

948
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: twenty six, so we can start making this public. Because

949
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: of course, you do need the public to mention of this, Chris,

950
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: to justify indictments, whether it's against Jack Smith and his

951
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: team of thugs or anyone else who was involved in

952
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: these j six prosecutions, FBI officials, a FBI agents, So

953
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: there does have to be a public component to bring

954
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: the grassroots motivation behind it and support behind it. And

955
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: I think it was the lost opportunity in twenty twenty five,

956
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 1: and so I think it's very important for your listeners

957
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: and for your readers and followers to help continue to

958
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: push for this sort of public accountability and then yes,

959
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: bring some charges, bring some indictments against these people, because

960
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: if we don't, we know what's going to happen next

961
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: time Democrats have power.

962
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 2: Here's my default position. And I know it's not an

963
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: acceptable answer to people who want this dealt with swiftly

964
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 2: and aggressively now, but I just keep coming back to

965
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 2: this default statement, and you tell me what you think

966
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 2: of it. Can there be anyone who wants Jack Smith

967
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 2: and the abuse that he wrought? Can there be anybody

968
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 2: that wants him brought to justice more than Donald Trump?

969
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: I would not think so. Well, he and I might

970
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: be tied, but I of course will refer to the

971
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: President because he was the one tormented directly by Jack Smith.

972
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: But I will tell you following both of those cases

973
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: in person in the courtroom, you know, numerous times in Florida,

974
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: three times in Washington for those hearings, eating these court filings,

975
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 1: seeing who these people were, not just jacksoniths his team,

976
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: but trust me, he's at the top of my list,

977
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: and he certainly has to be at the top of

978
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: the President's list. So now that we have this public testimony,

979
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 1: now people can see exactly what the s dirt bag

980
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,959
Speaker 1: is made of, and everyone around him shares the same

981
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: worldview that he does, which is, bottom line, very dangerous belief.

982
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: To prosecute people, including a former president, for exercising his

983
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 1: free speech right and his constitutional duties as president really

984
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: terrifying stuff. So you are correct, no one can want

985
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: it more than the president. Again, he's got commensiful but

986
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: he's got to push Congress as well and his DJ Okay,

987
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: we have this, what are the next steps?

988
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, is it I don't know because I'm not

989
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: in his head and I'm not in the room. Is

990
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 2: it that he's not a guy that dwells a lot

991
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: in the past and a it's just kind of dealing

992
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 2: with fires in front of him. To me, I've always

993
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 2: thought if my home was rated, if they tried to

994
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 2: jail me in four different courts of law under false pretenses,

995
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: if they tried to kill me, I'd be pretty interested

996
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 2: in seeing justice carried out on that front. But I

997
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: don't know the man. Do you think genuinely he's just

998
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: I've moved on. Let Pam handle that. If she finds something, great,

999
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: if Cash dig something up, great, But I'm moving on.

1000
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 2: I can't believe that. So but maybe I don't know.

1001
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 16: I don't.

1002
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, having met with him a few

1003
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: times and talking with him not just about the law

1004
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: fair against him, of the judges more importantly who allowed it.

1005
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: And I think this is another thing that our side,

1006
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: the Magabase, is very upset with that all of these judges,

1007
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: particularly someone like Jeb Bosberg, there are not there's no

1008
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: movement on impeachment proceedings against these judges because the bottom

1009
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: line is they're the ones who allowed all of this

1010
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: to happen.

1011
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 2: So I don't want to interrupt it. I am interrupting you,

1012
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: but let me make this point. Then do you think then,

1013
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 2: because you say, for all of those right reasons, you're

1014
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 2: pointing out, what's Donald Trump? People say, you say, my

1015
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 2: readers say, I'm frustrated there's no movement, What then do

1016
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 2: you say about that? In relationship to the boss, is

1017
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: he not doing enough to make it happen? Does he

1018
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 2: trust that his people will in due course? And we

1019
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 2: just don't know that the wheels are grinding slowly, like,

1020
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 2: what's the why If people are dissatisfied, Trump cares about it.

1021
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 2: Trump knows people are dissatisfied. What's the disconnect, I guess

1022
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 2: is my point.

1023
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: I do think part of it disconnect to the extent

1024
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: it exists, and I'm not really sure that it does.

1025
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: But making sure that the right people are in place.

1026
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: We have the new US attorney who is just confirmed,

1027
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: Jason Communis in southern Florida, and this is where grand jury,

1028
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: I believe two grand juries have been in paneled to

1029
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 1: examine this grand conspiracy case, and that could be where

1030
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: Jack Smith and his team and everyone involved in the

1031
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: mar Lago raid will be held accountable. Because here's the

1032
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: biggest problem, Chris and I don't really think it's a disconnect.

1033
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: I think it's just putting the right people in place,

1034
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: paneling these grand juries, looking at the potential charges, hauling

1035
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: people before these grand juries, just like Jack Smith did

1036
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: in the DOJ before him did in both of those cases,

1037
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: the Document's case in the J six case, making sure

1038
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: they can get an indictment. Look what's happening in Washington, DC,

1039
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: and this is really problematic as well. You have grand

1040
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: juries made up of DC residents who are refusing to

1041
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: sign off on criminal indictments brought by the Trump DOJ.

1042
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: This doesn't just relate to people who are charged with, say,

1043
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: throwing a subway sandwich at a federal officer who's trying

1044
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: to execute a warrant for an illegal immigrant. They're doing

1045
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: this for career curent they are refused. There's an entire

1046
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: group called Free DC, a nonprofit that is counseling DC residents.

1047
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: They're holding workshops. They're holding one next week about what

1048
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: they call how to be a skeptical juror. Now that means,

1049
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: and we've already seen this happen over and over federal

1050
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: grand juries in DC refusing to sign off on criminal indictments,

1051
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: also refusing to convict people who finally are indicted. So

1052
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: this is a huge problem in Washington, DC, which is

1053
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: why it's very good news that this grand conspiracy case

1054
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: apparently is going to be handled in Southern Florida. The

1055
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: judge who will oversee at least one of those grand

1056
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: juries Amien Cannon, who was vilified by the media for

1057
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: her very tough scrutiny in presiding over the document's case

1058
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: and eventually dismissing that indictment in July twenty twenty four,

1059
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: after determining that Jack's appointment violated the Constitution. You'll note

1060
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: that everyone sort of forgot about that, Chris, last week

1061
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,479
Speaker 1: when they were covering Jack Smith and the media who's

1062
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: saying how great he did, Everyone except for me and

1063
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: a few others, forgot to mention that the document's case

1064
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: was dismissed because she determined that his appointment violated the

1065
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: appointments clause. So she will be presigning over one, which

1066
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: is very good news because I saw her in action.

1067
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: She is extremely smart, She's very well prepared, she's very tough.

1068
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: She is not afraid of asking questions of either side.

1069
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: So this will be very good news. So let's start

1070
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: off with a hopeful note, Chris, for all of us

1071
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: who want this accountability brought to these degenerates like Jack Smith.

1072
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: But you know time is ticking and we need to

1073
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: see some accomplishments or some movement. I think pretty quick.

1074
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 2: She is at subseac read every word she he writes

1075
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: Julie Kelly dot substack dot com. Real clear investigations. We

1076
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 2: will stay in touch this year as we always do.

1077
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, my friend, Thank you so much.

1078
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you and yours, Chris, thanks so much.

1079
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 2: Still to come, Congressman Wesley Hunt will join us. He

1080
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 2: represents at present the thirty eighth district of Texas. But

1081
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 2: U Texans, this is going to get interesting down there.

1082
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 2: He wants Cornan's Senate seat, and as you know, there's

1083
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 2: a dogfight and a primary to take that seat away

1084
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: from Cornan. But also as he has a history in

1085
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 2: service to this country in the United States Military, his

1086
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 2: insights into the raid over the weekend of Maduro I

1087
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 2: think will be great as well. And Steve Moore, O

1088
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Chief Economist, is still to come on the economic outlook

1089
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six. Did Mike Walls, the Ambassador to

1090
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 2: the UN, was he listening to the show yesterday?

1091
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 5: You think, ed?

1092
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 6: I'm starting to think there are a lot of people

1093
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 6: in the admin tuning in, Chris, the things you were

1094
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 6: talking about even before the New year, specific words. We

1095
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 6: know the media already stole Maryland, Dad, Maryland Man.

1096
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 2: They stole that. But yeah, I think so, PAULI Number

1097
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 2: fifty two, if you please, Mike Walls, Nicholas Maduro is

1098
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 2: responsible for.

1099
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 7: Attacks on the people of the United States for destabilizing

1100
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 7: the Western Hemisphere and illegitimately repressing the people of Venezuela.

1101
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 7: As Secretary, Rubio has said, there is no war against

1102
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 7: Venezuela or its people. We are not occupying a country.

1103
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 7: This was a law enforcement operation in furtherance of lawful

1104
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 7: indictments that have existed for decades. The United States arrested

1105
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 7: an arco trafficker who is now going to stand trial

1106
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 7: in the United States in accordance with.

1107
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: The rule of law for the crime.

1108
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 7: He's committed against our people for fifteen years.

1109
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 2: And very quickly Number fifty one Marco Rubio in response

1110
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 2: to what the UN says about it, Oh.

1111
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 16: Ear, you're wrong in your question. Number one. Venezuela is

1112
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 16: a major source. And the reason why is the following.

1113
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 16: And I've seen a lot of this reporting and it's

1114
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 16: fake reporting, and I'll tell you why. It says that

1115
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 16: somehow Venezuela is not involved in the drug trade because

1116
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 16: the UN says they're not involved in the UGE. I

1117
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 16: don't the UNN. I don't care what the UN says.

1118
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 16: The uend doesn't know what they're talking about. Maduro is

1119
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 16: indicted by a grand jury in the Southern District of

1120
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 16: New York. That means the Southern District of New York

1121
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 16: presented the evidence to a grand jury, and a grand

1122
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 16: jury indicted him, and then a superseding indictment came out

1123
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 16: that was unsealed about a year and a half ago

1124
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 16: that specifically detailed Maduro's actions.

1125
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there you go. And by the way, Jonathan

1126
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 2: Turley says, this indictment is devastating incidentally as a legal matter.

1127
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: So there's walls. We're not at war. Rubio says, I

1128
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 2: don't care what the un says. By the way, more

1129

1149
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: it's always important to talk with people who do the

1150
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 2: work or have done the work when you talk about

1151
01:03:55,560 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 2: the unbelievable surgical removal of the maduros from Caracas. We

1152
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 2: talked with Senator Dave McCormick yesterday on the show about

1153
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 2: his work and doing the very same thing with Noriega

1154
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 2: back in eighty nine. To know what it takes to

1155
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 2: actually have been through it in service to your country

1156
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 2: is quite another thing, and so that's why we're always

1157
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 2: so blessed to have guests who know the work, have

1158
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 2: done the work or related work. Like Congressman Wesley Hunt.

1159
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 2: He is a representative of the thirty eighth district of Texas,

1160
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 2: but prior to that his service included a deployment in Iraq.

1161
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 2: He flew fifty five combat air missions, two deployments to

1162
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia an Apache helicopter pilot. He knows his stuff,

1163
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: is my point. He also happens to be running for

1164
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 2: Senate down there in Texas and joins us this morning. Congressman,

1165
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Happy new Year, Good to see you, sir.

1166
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 17: Happy new year to you. I hope you're having a

1167
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 17: blessed one. God bless you brother. Thank you for having

1168
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 17: me on the show.

1169
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,439
Speaker 2: Of course, I can't help but think when you see

1170
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 2: something like we saw this weekend, for you personally, having

1171
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 2: the background, it must just continue to instill a great

1172
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 2: deal of pride. Knowing to hear General Cain lay out

1173
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 2: the precision, I was captivated and I didn't serve a minute.

1174
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 17: Yeah, it was unbelievable. What an unbelievable mission. You want

1175
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 17: to talk about precision, You want to talk about execution.

1176
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 17: You want to talk about the world's greatest fighting force

1177
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 17: and action to do what they did, And I was looked.

1178
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 17: At two o'clock in the morning following the whole thing.

1179
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 17: When it broke, my phone started blowing up, and I

1180
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 17: remember thinking about, oh my gosh, the special operations, the

1181
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 17: planning of just how meticulous this was planned out, the

1182
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 17: communication that had to happen across agencies, the intel that

1183
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 17: was gathered, just how amazing this hit was was something

1184
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 17: that again should definitely go down into history books. It's

1185
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 17: one of the greatest shows of force of our military

1186
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 17: mind that we have seen in the history of this country.

1187
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 17: And of course it comes under the leadership of Donald Trump.

1188
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 17: And again, you know, a couple of days ago, when

1189
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,959
Speaker 17: Marco Rubio was given his was given his brief, he said, if.

1190
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 5: You don't know now, you know this guy means business.

1191
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 17: When he tells you that he is going to put

1192
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 17: America first, save Americans, protect Americans, stop our young people

1193
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 17: from dying because of Narco terrorist states.

1194
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 5: Guess what he's going to do it This should be

1195
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 5: a shot.

1196
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 17: This is shot across the bow for anybody that doesn't

1197
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 17: think that President Trump and this administration means business. This

1198
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 17: was outstanding. And I got to say this as well.

1199
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 17: I'm a guy that's not from endless wars. I'm a

1200
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,439
Speaker 17: guy that fought in one of these endless wars. I'm

1201
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 17: the guy that doesn't want to risk our greatest treasure,

1202
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 17: which is our sons and daughters that choose to give

1203
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 17: their lives to this great nation. So the fact of

1204
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 17: the matter is, in thirty minutes, this guy accomplished what

1205
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 17: it took the Bush era years to never accomplish. And no,

1206
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 17: we're not in the endless war. No, look at what

1207
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 17: happened in Iran. We're not in the endless war. We're

1208
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 17: not in the endless war here either. And again, this

1209
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 17: is how you put Americans first. This is the definition

1210
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 17: of America first, and it means America is leading, but

1211
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 17: doing it in a way that's not in an old

1212
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 17: legacy Miacom fashion.

1213
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,479
Speaker 2: I love it. I do two Congressmans. You know, Donald

1214
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 2: Trump's not afraid of showing strength, and he's not afraid

1215
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 2: to use the weaponar in the men and women who

1216
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 2: have the talent to deliver it. But he's also very

1217
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 2: profoundly aware of endless quagmires that he wants nothing to

1218
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 2: do with. And I think we can have both. I

1219
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,919
Speaker 2: think he's demonstrating both when I see him, do these

1220
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 2: things lead these things? I think to myself, this is

1221
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 2: a guy who's profoundly aware of what you just described,

1222
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 2: what you'd been through in the Bush era. These endless

1223
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 2: and I think you know we're all sensitive to it,

1224
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 2: these meat grinders without end We think, oh, here we

1225
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,919
Speaker 2: go again. But that's not Donald Trump. So I don't

1226
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: think here we go again can apply when you're talking

1227
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 2: to Donald Trump.

1228
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 5: Not at all.

1229
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 17: I remember my colleagues on a left for clamoring about

1230
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 17: how we're going to be in World War three after

1231
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 17: the yearran hit, And guess what, We're not world War three.

1232
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 17: In fact, we actually stable lives the region even more

1233
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 17: the most stable that has been since he was president

1234
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 17: last time. And then now we're looking at this strike today,

1235
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 17: as we sit here today, and you start to realize that, no,

1236
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 17: this is a president that wants to lead. This is

1237
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 17: a president that wants to have a strong show of

1238
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 17: force so that the world knows that there is a

1239
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 17: leader of the war. We are in charge. And no,

1240
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 17: this isn't a rebuilding operation. No I don't see brigades

1241
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 17: and regiments and battalions entering Caracas.

1242
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 5: I see none of the above.

1243
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 17: What I do see is a strategic play to strengthen

1244
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 17: America's position on the global stage. And then We're going

1245
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 17: to continue to do so and continue to lead throughout

1246
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 17: other regions of the world. And I love watching my

1247
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 17: Democrat colleagues sit here and now support Narco terrorist states.

1248
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 17: It's absolutely hilarious. This was an absolutely this was a

1249
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 17: brilliant hit. This was brilliantly done, brilliantly planned, and brilliantly executed.

1250
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 17: And that now I'm watching Democrats defend Narco terrorist states,

1251
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 17: defending Cuba, defending Venezuela. Come on, and the President t

1252
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 17: dureau enough warning.

1253
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,480
Speaker 5: He didn't listen. He paid the consequences.

1254
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 2: Tell me what you say to those and you read them,

1255
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 2: you see them, I hear them. You hear them who

1256
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 2: vote Republican or maybe did or have or would vote

1257
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 2: for President Trump, will vote for you. And they say,

1258
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 2: this is an America first? How is this America first?

1259
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 2: Congressman Hunt, what's your answer?

1260
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 5: Of course, it's America first.

1261
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 17: And where President Trump promised was for us not to

1262
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 17: get these endless quagmires. That is not what this is.

1263
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 17: By the way, he offered Maduro a deal months ago.

1264
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 17: Moduro didn't take the deal. Moduro said that Americans are cowards.

1265
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 17: He said, come in get me, and he was blustering

1266
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 17: and talking all this trash and guess what he found

1267
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 17: out found the hard way he tried to could a

1268
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 17: deal with him. He didn't want to come to the table.

1269
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 17: The same thing with they're on. They tried to deal

1270
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 17: with them, they didn't want to come to the table.

1271
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 17: So now you have to pay the consequences. So this

1272
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 17: is in fact America First, and America First just doesn't

1273
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 17: mean that we just ignore everything and don't pay attention

1274
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 17: to what's going on in the world. America First means

1275
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 17: that we lead from the front. And guess what, we

1276
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 17: also don't get into endless wars and endless quagmires. That's

1277
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 17: exactly what's happening right now. And then on top of that,

1278
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 17: we get whale and oil as well. Are you kidding me?

1279
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 17: I mean again, one of the most vast resources in

1280
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 17: the world. Like, this is an issue of national security.

1281
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 17: So instead of fighting endless wars, we are now fighting

1282
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 17: these narco terrorist states with their economy, with using their resources.

1283
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 5: This is a novel idea.

1284
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,719
Speaker 17: We are putting troops on the ground, we are thinking

1285
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,919
Speaker 17: more economically, we are thinking about how they impact OPAK.

1286
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 17: We're thinking about what our positioning is on the global

1287
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 17: energy scale. This is brilliance. Trust me, this is exactly

1288
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 17: what we voted for. And keep in mind again as

1289
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 17: somebody that has deployed to Iraq, that deployed to Saudi Arabia,

1290
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 17: so sur Arabia, the fifty five combinate admissions in Baghdad,

1291
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 17: fought in one of these wars. I am telling you

1292
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 17: this is the way moving forward. It's absolutely brilliant. I

1293
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 17: am here for and people need to understand. They have

1294
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 17: to trust the process and know that in President Trump's heart,

1295
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 17: this is not about getting in endless wars.

1296
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 5: It's about positioning us as first in the world.

1297
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 2: Let me shift Congressman Wesley Hunt, Texas representative of the

1298
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 2: thirty eighth district running for Senate seat over there on

1299
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 2: the Senate side, So you want to leave one chamber

1300
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 2: join the other. As we look at twenty twenty six

1301
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 2: in the midterms, can you forecast anything for me by

1302
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 2: way of what you think can be accomplished on your

1303
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 2: side where you said at present what you'd like to

1304
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 2: see happen on the Senate side, or are we just

1305
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 2: going to be in perpetual campaign mode with not a

1306
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 2: lot of legislative action. In twenty six, I.

1307
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 5: Think we're going to see some muslative action.

1308
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 17: I keep in mind, we have a very very slim

1309
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 17: majority in the House, and so when you think about

1310
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 17: how the difficulty it is to get something across the

1311
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 17: finish line, when it really it only takes one or

1312
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 17: two people that can kill any kind of legislative agenity,

1313
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 17: you have to keep that in mind. And we have

1314
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 17: a relatively slim majority in the Senate. That's actually why

1315
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 17: I am running for Senate to ensure that we keep

1316
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 17: the majority next cycle. I mean, keep in mind, we're

1317
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 17: going to have a fight in North Carolina. We're gonna

1318
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 17: have a fight, man, We're gonna have a fight in Georgia.

1319
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 17: We have a two three seat majority with the Vice

1320
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 17: president's support. And guess what, we have got to keep Texas.

1321
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,719
Speaker 17: We have got to keep the Senator from Texas. Read

1322
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 17: both me and Tad Cruz. Has to happen in order

1323
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 17: for us to be able to legislate on the second

1324
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 17: half of a President Trump's final presidency. And so I

1325
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 17: am running because I am the best candidate in this

1326
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 17: race that can win the primary and win the general.

1327
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 17: It won't cost us hundreds of millions of dollars. We

1328
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 17: have a twenty four year incumbent that has already spent

1329
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 17: seventy million dollars in this race, and the base has

1330
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 17: left him end of discussion. And so what I am

1331
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 17: offering is a true America First patriot, somebody that back

1332
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 17: President Trump. On day one, I was the first person

1333
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 17: in the country to endorse them, and that's where the

1334
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 17: party is. We need young freedom fighters like myself to

1335
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 17: continue on with.

1336
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 5: The President's legacy. Look, there is a reason why jd.

1337
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 17: Vance is forty years old, Marco Rubio is in his

1338
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 17: early fifties, the Secretary of War is in his mid forties.

1339
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 17: I'm in my early forties as well. Because it's time

1340
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 17: to have young blood enter the Senate so we can

1341
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 17: continue this agenda for the next ten twenty years. And

1342
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 17: that's why I'm running. And when we accomplished that, that

1343
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 17: is how we are going to keep the America First

1344
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 17: agenda running in the second half of President Trump's presidency.

1345
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 2: How can people be helpful Congressman, if they're interested, particularly

1346
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 2: detections listening.

1377
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 2: not moral vanity, its obligation. Trump understands it. American strength

1378
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 2: is required here more tomorrow. The Dilbert creator a guy

1379
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 2: who has become a really interesting communicator over the year.

1380
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 2: Scott Adams. You might know him. He seems to be

1381
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 2: gravely ill, dying of a pretty aggressive form of cancer.

1382
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 2: It appears he had this to say on social media

1383
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 2: and it caught my eye. I didn't get to it yesterday.

1384
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 2: Give me number forty two if you would please. Here's

1385
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 2: Scott Adams talking about his illness and thinking about the

1386
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 2: next steps.

1387
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 18: Whenever I talk about the simulation, and especially when I

1388
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 18: talk about my own impending death, many of my Christian

1389
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 18: friends and Christian followers save me. Scott, do you still

1390
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 18: have time? You should convert to Christianity, and I usually

1391
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 18: just let that sit because that's not an argument I

1392
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 18: want to have. I've not been a believer. But I

1393
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 18: also have respect for any Christian who goes out of

1394
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 18: their way to try to convert me, because how would

1395
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 18: I believe you believe your own religion if you're not

1396
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 18: trying to convert me. So I have great respect for

1397
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 18: people who care enough that they want me to convert

1398
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 18: and then go another way to try to convince me.

1399
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 18: So you're here for the first time today that it

1400
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 18: is my plan to convert, So I still have time,

1401
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 18: but my understanding is you're never too late. And on

1402
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 18: top of that, any skepticism might have about reality would

1403
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 18: certainly be instantly answered if I wake up and heaven.

1404
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 18: I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that

1405
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 18: I would wake up and heaven if I have a

1406
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:36,799
Speaker 18: good life. Yeah, I don't necessarily have to state something

1407
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 18: in events, And so to my Christian friends, yes it's coming,

1408
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 18: so you don't need to talk me into it.

1409
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 2: So I'm only going to interrupt this to say that.

1410
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 2: Scott Adams later posted Infectious yesterday. He politely requested after

1411
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 2: this announcement that Christians back off of him like this

1412
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 2: between me and Jesus, leave me alone. This is interesting

1413
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 2: to me only because number one, I admire Scott as

1414
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 2: a communicator, and I just I don't I hope I

1415
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 2: won't know for a long time what it is to

1416
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: stare down the barrel of this. But it seems like

1417
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 2: there are a lot of good people that I know

1418
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 2: right now who are staring down the barrel of their

1419
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 2: own mortality. We all are. But I mean, I'm talking

1420
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: about illness and things like that, and Scott is kind

1421
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 2: of entering into one of these grand bargains. Well, if

1422
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 2: it's real, I guess what can it hurt? All right? Fine,

1423
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 2: I believe you know, we as Christians know it's more

1424
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 2: than that. But but I will say, what a remarkable

1425
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 2: first step. And Scott begging now those of us who

1426
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 2: are believers to not badger him and beat him up.

1427
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 2: I mean, the man's dying of cancer and he's coming

1428
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 2: around to having a conversation with Jesus and exploring it.

1429
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 2: I hope he gets to know Christ and I hope

1430
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 2: he he genuinely does repent and take it to heart.

1431
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 2: But it is important for us, and it's a reminder

1432
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 2: as he's kind of begging Christians, hey back, don't beat

1433
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,560
Speaker 2: me up about this. The gentle art of persuasion was

1434
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 2: also something Jesus asked of us. So it is critically

1435
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 2: important when someone's willing to listen and entertain, that you

1436
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 2: pray for them and you work with them, you don't

1437
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 2: badger them. And so I'm happy for Scott and I

1438
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 2: do pray that he gets to know christ Ornament. Kicking

1439
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 2: off twenty twenty six with an a brilliant optimistic he

1440
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 2: closed out the year and twenty twenty five feeling great.

1441
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 2: I wonder if now does he have a New Year's hangover?

1442
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,560
Speaker 2: Is he still feeling good? Steve Moore, our chief economist

1443
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 2: and friend over the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. Happy new Year,

1444
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 2: Steve o.

1445
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 19: Hey christ great to be with you.

1446
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 5: Happy New Year to you.

1447
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 19: By the way, I was thinking when you were talking

1448
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 19: about CBS, I probably haven't watched a network news show

1449
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 19: in twenty years.

1450
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 13: I mean, do you watch it anymore?

1451
01:18:58,680 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 5: I mean no, I watched it.

1452
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 19: Watch sometimes I watch YOX News, but I can't remember.

1453
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 19: I think Walker Cronkite was still around the last time

1454
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 19: I watched a network news show.

1455
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 2: When I was a kid and studying broadcasting, not so

1456
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 2: much journalism, but I remember the big three for me

1457
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 2: were Tom broke Off, Peter Jennings and.

1458
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 5: Dan Rather Right. I remember that, yep.

1459
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,919
Speaker 2: And I used to think, well, that's the gold standard,

1460
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 2: that's the truth. Those three guys mean us well, and

1461
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 2: we'll tell us everything we need to know.

1462
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 19: Well, then I started to sink, here's the point that

1463
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 19: I think is really a very positive thing is that

1464
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,799
Speaker 19: you know, you had those three networks that basically command

1465
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 19: wor like a monopoly on news. And what's exciting today

1466
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,839
Speaker 19: is you can get your news from thousands and thousands

1467
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,879
Speaker 19: of places. I mean, can you can watch the Chris

1468
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 19: Stigall Show or listen to your show and get news.

1469
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:55,839
Speaker 19: And that I think should create more honest news because

1470
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 19: for conservatives like me, I just turned off CBS, ABC,

1471
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 19: NBC because I didn't believe a word they were saying.

1472
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 2: That's it and there has to be Look, if you're

1473
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 2: going to succeed in this game, now, there's got to

1474
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 2: be accountability. You can't well, not everybody, but I can

1475
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 2: say any kind of crazy thing I want, but if

1476
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 2: it's not true or it doesn't come to fruition. After

1477
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 2: a while, you just lose any credibility at all. So

1478
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 2: it's sort of self auditing. Because media has become so splintered.

1479
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,719
Speaker 2: You've got to be dependable and reliable and be honest

1480
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 2: when you're not, because if you don't, there's a thousand

1481
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 2: other options, you know.

1482
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 19: So here's a pretty amazing story related to what we're

1483
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 19: talking about. I was just editing our hotline right before

1484
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 19: I came on, And if people want to get that,

1485
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 19: just go on least prosperity dot com and you can

1486
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 19: get that for free every morning. But there's a story

1487
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 19: about this. I wasn't really aware of it. My friend

1488
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 19: John von you know, made me aware of it that

1489
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 19: this just independent journalist went to these daycare centers. You're

1490
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 19: probably familiar with this story and he started videoing what

1491
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 19: was going on in these daycare centers. Hundreds of millions

1492
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 19: of god went into these daycare centers and there are

1493
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 19: no kids on there.

1494
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:03,719
Speaker 5: It was a.

1495
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 19: Complete sod And but my point is it CBS didn't

1496
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 19: break that story, NBC didn't break that story. See, this

1497
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 19: was just a guy with a camera. He should he

1498
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 19: should get a Pulitzer prize.

1499
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,600
Speaker 2: That's it's journalism. It's it's what they used to do.

1500
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 5: You go up.

1501
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 2: But I mean I remember local even local news used

1502
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 2: to have the consumer reporter guy. They would you know,

1503
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 2: you would, you would ride in and go ABC Cement

1504
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 2: Company really screwed up my concrete job in the driveway,

1505
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,839
Speaker 2: and then the local reporter would go knock on ABC

1506
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 2: Concrete and say, hey, you screwed over mister Wilson. Are

1507
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 2: you gonna give his money back? That That was like

1508
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 2: serving people once upon a time. They don't do that

1509
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 2: anymore so anyway, not why you're here. This Venezuela raid, though,

1510
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 2: is why you're here. You wrote a piece, yes, cry

1511
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 2: for Venezuela. Here's the thing, Steve Moore, and I knew

1512
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 2: you were going to bring this to light. Here's why

1513
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 2: this is different than Iraq. Here's why this is different

1514
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 2: than Afghanistan. I keep saying, Venezuela not too terribly long

1515
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 2: ago in your lifetime and mind, Venezuela used to be

1516
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 2: a thriving, capitalistic democracy, and the people that live there

1517
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 2: remember it well and they want to return to it.

1518
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 2: That's what makes it different than Iraq. First and foremost,

1519
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 2: in my opinion, yours.

1520
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, look, this This was a dictator. This was guy

1521
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 19: who was thrown out of office by the you know,

1522
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 19: by the voters, and yet refused to leave. I laugh

1523
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 19: at my some of my democratic friends, who all they've

1524
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 19: been talking about, you know, during the Trump era is

1525
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 19: you know, danger to democracy, danger to democracy? Well what

1526
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 19: about and tru I mean, the guy wouldn't leave, and

1527
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 19: he impoverished his own citizens. I mean, things got so

1528
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 19: bad in Venezuela that people were literally eating the animals

1529
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 19: in the zoo because they didn't have food. You have

1530
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 19: a country that you're quite right, that the that became

1531
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 19: a fairly wealthy country and a robust middle class. And

1532
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 19: today in Venezuela, eighty percent, eight out of ten Venezuelans

1533
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 19: live in poverty, and almost half of Venezuelan's live in

1534
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 19: abject poverty, meaning they can barely find enough food to eat.

1535
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 19: So where are all these humanitarians on the left, Why

1536
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:18,520
Speaker 19: are they protesting?

1537
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 2: This was a liberation of This was the nineties. What

1538
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:25,520
Speaker 2: you're describing was the nineties for Venezuela.

1539
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 19: True that recently you mean, well you mean the fact

1540
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 19: that it was once a rich country. Yeah, yes, Well,

1541
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 19: look here's the thing Venezuela has many of the richest

1542
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 19: assets in the world. I mean, the value of their

1543
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 19: oil is estimated to be well over a trillion dollars.

1544
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 19: And so how do you ruin a country, How do

1545
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 19: you drive a country into abject poverty?

1546
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 13: It would be like if Saudi Arabia were poor.

1547
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 19: That's how crazy it is.

1548
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 2: And the need to control. Here's the other thing that

1549
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 2: frosts me. It is completely fine logical fare for the

1550
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:13,799
Speaker 2: President of the United States to say, we United States

1551
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 2: Industry and Commerce invested a boatload of money in you,

1552
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 2: and then you went down there and you stole it all.

1553
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 2: And we're kicking down the door, and we're going to

1554
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 2: write this ship and we're going to get that oil

1555
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 2: out of the ground because we put a lot of

1556
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 2: money of ours into it. That's truly fine and justified

1557
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:30,759
Speaker 2: to me. Steve O correct.

1558
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 19: Yeah, Well, they expropriated all that oil and then they

1559
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 19: destroyed the fields. You know, their oil production is down

1560
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 19: by two thirds because they were too That's the problem

1561
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 19: with socialists and communists. So when they give you the

1562
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 19: warm embrace is they're so incompetent they couldn't even drill

1563
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 19: the oil. So their oil production is down by two

1564
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,719
Speaker 19: thirds because they were just too stupid to figure out how.

1565
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 5: To do it.

1566
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,920
Speaker 19: I mean, this was this was a liberation, I think,

1567
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 19: And look, I'm not a nation building guy, Chris, you know,

1568
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 19: I hope we I'm glad we took. This is an

1569
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 19: amazing military feat that will go down in history, is

1570
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 19: one of the greatest military feats of all time. We

1571
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 19: should basically say, okay, this is your country, get a

1572
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 19: democratic leader in who will who will not, you know,

1573
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 19: destroy the country, and then we should we should pull out.

1574
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,719
Speaker 19: I don't want to stay there, but I am certainly

1575
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 19: glad for the thirty million Venezuelans. I mean, look all

1576
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 19: these people protesting the streets. I thought they wanted people

1577
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 19: a middle class. I thought they wanted people to do better.

1578
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 19: I thought they wanted freedom. And yet that's what, byen,

1579
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:39,879
Speaker 19: what Trump has given Venezuela. And these leftists in America

1580
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:41,760
Speaker 19: are opposed to that.

1581
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:42,799
Speaker 13: I don't understand.

1582
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight million people fled that country. Eight eight million people.

1583
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,760
Speaker 2: It's just staggering. So anyway, thank you for writing that.

1584
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,879
Speaker 2: You wrote, Yes, cry for Argentina or cry for Venezuela.

1585
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:56,679
Speaker 2: I love that piece.

1586
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 19: Quickly arms at a time, Chris, when you know, at

1587
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 19: the same week that this happened, New York inaugurates a

1588
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 19: crazy left wing socialist.

1589
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm pulling who literally says I want to

1590
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 2: be Maduro. I want to be the guy we just

1591
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 2: extracted and took to court, says the mayor of New York. Ironically.

1592
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, unbelievable.

1593
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 11: Italy.

1594
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,799
Speaker 2: Fox Business has a fascinating story how Italy's Prime Minister

1595
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 2: Maloney has sparked an economic turnaround twenty twenty two.

1596
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 5: Steve O.

1597
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 2: Here's the numbers for Maloney. Italy's deficit eight point one

1598
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 2: percent of GDP unemployment December twenty twenty two almost eight percent.

1599
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 2: Inflation exceeded twelve percent today an estimated three point one percent,

1600
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 2: the deficit, inflation dropped a one point one percent, unemployment

1601
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 2: dropped by half since twenty twenty two. Yeah, frankly, she

1602
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 2: embraces Trump and that kind of economic resurgence.

1603
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 19: Yeah, exactly. And I predicted this, I think on your

1604
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:03,640
Speaker 19: radio show or several years ago, that a Trumpian revolution

1605
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 19: is going to happen all over the world, and that's

1606
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 19: what we're seeing. You've seen it in Italy, you've seen

1607
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 19: it in Chile, you've seen it in Argentina. You know,

1608
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:14,919
Speaker 19: there's no reason that Venezuela and the South American countries

1609
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 19: can't be rich again follow the Trump model. Free markets,

1610
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 19: free enterprise, low taxes, power to the people. I would

1611
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,839
Speaker 19: say that the big movement around the world is citizens

1612
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 19: around the world are tired and fed up with arrogant,

1613
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,320
Speaker 19: self serving politicians who say they care about people, but

1614
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 19: they just care about themselves. So this is an exciting time.

1615
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 19: I'm totally bullish on the US economy, and I think

1616
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 19: if the rest of the world will follow Trump's lead,

1617
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 19: this could be a real renaissance period for the whole world.

1618
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 2: And as we spoke earlier, what's going on in Iran.

1619
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 2: That's terribly exciting too. You can feel that it's just

1620
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 2: busting out all over I haven't felt this excited since Brexit, really,

1621
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's exciting to see people waking.

1622
01:27:58,040 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 13: Up, see other people.

1623
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy new Year, my friend. We'll have you back

1624
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 2: next week and every Tuesday. Steve Moore, Happy new year, sir.

1625
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 5: Back in my nom.

1626
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So here we are in the new year. Nothing

1627
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,640
Speaker 2: has moved on the Obamacare front, I know, and a

1628
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 2: lot of people are concerned about health insurance rates. Don't

1629
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 2: be not until you've at least picked up the phone

1630
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 2: and called US Medical Plan. My friend John and the

1631
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 2: team at US Medical Plan have helped countless numbers of

1632
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 2: friends of mine, colleagues of mine, and even my own family.

1633
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 2: John Ruhlman and his team US medicalplan dot com. If

1634
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 2: you're a senior citizen and you think to yourself, I

1635
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:42,560
Speaker 2: cannot spend this much money a month on a supplemental

1636
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 2: health insurance policy, guess what he'll do. He'll go to

1637
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,759
Speaker 2: work and you'll find you a private sector health insurance

1638
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 2: policy for your supplemental insurance, and he's going to find

1639
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 2: it for a lot cheaper. My parents each each saved

1640
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,479
Speaker 2: four hundred dollars a month because I plugged them into John.

1641
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 2: Everybody from members of this show to friends of mine,

1642
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 2: personal friends of mine who are in between jobs, and

1643
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 2: we're going to spend hundreds of dollars on Cobra in

1644
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 2: some cases thousands. Friend of mine said, I save six

1645
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 2: hundred bucks a month just by reaching out to John

1646
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 2: for a gap insurance plan instead of the Cobra plan.

1647
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes he can beat your employer's health plan. Not all

1648
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 2: the time, but sometimes that's the great thing. If you

1649
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 2: reach out to John and say, hey, can you help

1650
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,479
Speaker 2: me with this rate, He's not afraid to tell you. Look,

1651
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 2: that's the best rate you've got. Stay with them. He'll

1652
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 2: tell you that. But odds are if you're a small

1653
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 2: business owner and you provide health insurance, if you buy

1654
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 2: your own out of pocket. There is private sector health

1655
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 2: insurance out there that's not Obamacare, that is a lot cheaper.

1656
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 2: But you got to make this call. You want to

1657
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 2: save some money this year, This is the easiest way

1658
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,759
Speaker 2: to do it if you buy your own health insurance

1659
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:47,599

01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:59,560

1663
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 2: four came to a conclusion, we had a big live event.

1664
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 2: Several of the Salem media hosts, myself included. We were

1665
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 2: still doing the local show in Philadelphia at the time,

1666
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 2: and we had a big party, a live event. Gallagher came,

1667
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:15,599
Speaker 2: Larry Elder came, Hugh Hewittt came. It was an October event,

1668
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 2: just before the election. We weren't sure the outcome, but

1669
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,760
Speaker 2: one thing we were sure of was Tim Walls, who

1670
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,600
Speaker 2: I called the human mascot at the time, was one

1671
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 2: of the most ridiculous people. Despite being dangerous and insane,

1672
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 2: he was just ridiculous fastedding. It was this evening in

1673
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:34,559
Speaker 2: October of twenty twenty four that I debuted, and I

1674
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 2: really think I nailed it. I debuted the human mascot

1675
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 2: Tim Walls. Now, those of you who aren't watching on

1676
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 2: the Salem News channel, you won't be able to see it.

1677
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 2: You'll have to go to my Salem or excuse me,

1678
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 2: my social media account. I posted it there yesterday. But

1679
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 2: I think I stuck the landing on this, don't you think.

1680
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 6: A big time Chris? Absolutely, this was one of the

1681
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 6: coolest and I actually forgot the human mascot.

1682
01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 2: It's a perfect nickname, too, Tim Walls, the human mascot.

1683
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,759
Speaker 2: Here I am arriving on the Battleground Talkers tour stage,

1684
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 2: October twenty twenty four, number sixty one, Paul if you please.

1685
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:30,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1686
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:33,799
Speaker 2: So for those of you, it was met with wild,

1687
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,679
Speaker 2: raucous applause. I've always thought this guy is dangerous too

1688
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 2: fast Eddie. Just to go on record, have I not

1689
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:41,680
Speaker 2: from the day he was introduced to the nation as

1690
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,639
Speaker 2: Cackle Bridges pick, Have I not said that? I think

1691
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 2: he's the most dangerous Democrat there is.

1692
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, Chris, those exact words, the most dangerous.

1693
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 2: Yes. In fact, let's go back to it. It was

1694
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend of twenty twenty four, not long after

1695
01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 2: he was chosen. I said this number sixty two, if

1696
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 2: you please, Paul.

1697
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:03,600
Speaker 19: An attack on my children for showing love for me,

1698
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 19: or it's an attack on my dog.

1699
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that.

1700
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 19: And the one thing I'll never do is I'll never

1701
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 19: demean another member's service in any way.

1702
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:13,559
Speaker 18: I never have and I never will.

1703
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 2: So this guy is uniquely dangerous, as I hope you know,

1704
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:23,640
Speaker 2: he may actually be more dangerous than she is. And

1705
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 2: I'm kind of serious. The more we know about this guy,

1706
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 2: I'm this might be too bold. I'm prepared to say

1707
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 2: this guy might be an agent of China. Like I

1708
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 2: think the Bidens were bought off by China. I think

1709
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 2: this guy might outrite work for China. And I'm kind

1710
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 2: of not kidding. If you told me this guy was

1711
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:50,480
Speaker 2: a communist Chinese spy, I believe it. He's uniquely dangerous,

1712
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 2: and you are he apparently is not going to weather it.

1713
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that he was working for China. That

1714
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:58,600
Speaker 2: might be the only correction I'll have to make, is

1715
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 2: maybe a Somalia instead, class Eddie. Nine billion dollars in

1716
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,719
Speaker 2: fraud up there in Minnesota, too much for the human

1717
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 2: mascot to weather. He announced yesterday he's not going to

1718
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 2: run for a third term.

1719
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 6: Your thoughts, I'm happy to see him go because I

1720
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 6: do think he's dangerous, and I do think he's an

1721
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 6: agent of a foreign country.

1722
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 2: I do too. You'll never convince me he was not

1723
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,760
Speaker 2: a foreign operator. Him and that crazy wife of his.

1724
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:27,160
Speaker 2: Good riddance to the most dangerous individual we've seen, Todate.

1725
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 2: I think Zoronmandanni is about to give him a run

1726
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:33,440
Speaker 2: for the money. But I think Tim Walls was uniquely

1727
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 2: awful in a number of ways, and I saw it

1728
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,479
Speaker 2: from downtown. He was a special kind of insidious, and

1729
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm glad to see he's gone, stepping into the role

1730
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:51,480
Speaker 2: Minnesota nice. The tradition continues. The total phony Mammy Dearest

1731
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 2: is now reported to want the job fast Eddie. We're

1732
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,639
Speaker 2: going to go from Elmer Fudd, the guy who looks

1733
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 2: nice in a flannel, supposedly who was a raging, psychotic, angry,

1734
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 2: left wing lunatic. Now, mommy dearest may want to leave

1735
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 2: the Senate and become governor of Minnesota. This is the

1736
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 2: same woman who says she's Minnesota nice and throws binders

1737
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:16,960
Speaker 2: at her staffers' heads full of rage and eats with

1738
01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 2: that's what's about right right now, and eats with Colmbs

1739
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 2: and then makes the staff go wash the calm. That's right,

1740
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,599
Speaker 2: Senator Amy Klobashar, mommy dearest may become the next governor

1741
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,960
Speaker 2: of Minnesota. I don't know you people in Minnesota, God

1742
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 2: bless you. I don't know. Is it the cold? Is

1743
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 2: that what it is? They just don't get enough people

1744
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 2: out to vote these lunatics out. They're sending in a

1745
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 2: bunch of Feds to flush this Somali brought out too.

1746
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:42,360
Speaker 2: We'll see you tomorrow. So that's a wrap for another
