1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Live from vall Hartbeyer and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. Maduro is about.

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: To meet with a judge. I only can say, okay,

4
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: because that's not the story. That he's going to get

5
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: more justice in the United States than he ever gave

6
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: any dissident in Venezuela. The irony is not lost on me,

7
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good

8
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: to be with you. Find everything over at Tony kats

9
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: dot com. I hope you had a wonderful New year.

10
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: I hope you're ready to get back at it live

11
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: streaming on the YouTube YouTube dot com slash Tony Katz.

12
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: You should get over there immediately, if not sooner. It's

13
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: story of the capture of Maduro that has so many

14
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: on the left so incredibly apoplectic. They're apoplectic because they're children.

15
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Now that should be seen differently as an attack on

16
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: people who are millennials with gen Z etc. No, no, no, no,

17
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: We've seen enough old liberal white women, enough boomers to

18
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: be a part of this group to know that this

19
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: isn't about your age. This is about your intellectual hefton

20
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: capacity actually believing somehow somewhere on some magical planet that

21
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: this communism still provides a value. You want people out

22
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: there engaged in protest against the capture of Maduro.

23
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: Screaming no war for oil.

24
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: God, the level of ignorance, the incredible level of ignorance.

25
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: Does anybody even know what they mean when they say

26
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: a war for oil? Is anybody aware of what they mean?

27
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: We will go through it. But let's start with Maduro,

28
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: going back to when the Biden administration had a twenty

29
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: five million dollar reward for his capture, going back to

30
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: the recognition that he was defying the will of the people.

31
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: He was not elected, yet he stayed in power. Go

32
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: back to his predecessor, the low life Hugo Chavez, who

33
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: said of George Bush after speaking at the un I

34
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: smell sulfur at this podium, as if George Bush was

35
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: the devil who expropriated.

36
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: Company after company after company, took.

37
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: Control of American oil interests in Venezuela, to which the

38
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: Venezuelans profited, and took it for himself and led the

39
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: people of Venezuela from being outrageously prosperous to eating pigeons

40
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: in two decades.

41
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 3: That's what communism does. And so we're clear.

42
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: All those people protesting no war for oil while they're

43
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: wearing caffeas are part of this Red Green alliance. They

44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: are indeed communists. They're the worst of the worst. They

45
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: favor death and destruction. They have no concepts that can

46
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: actually provide a value, as opposed to capitalism, which always

47
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: provides a value. They're wrong, and they're the enemies of America.

48
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: That's a harsh statement, but they are what they are,

49
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: what they are. They're the enemy. The Communists are the enemy.

50
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: And this Red Green Alliance, which is the Communists and

51
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: the Islamists looking forward and trying desperately to engage the

52
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: destruction of Western civilization an American might and strength. That's

53
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: the desire, that's the goal. That's what they're about. That's

54
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: why they're in tandem. For what other reason is the

55
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: communist playing dress up and wearing the kafia, which is

56
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: solely a oppression. Come fight me on this. I'll debate

57
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: this all day. They're not like us, They're not Americans

58
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: like us. These Americans who want to see America fail,

59
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: which is of course the question going into this midterm election.

60
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: Do you want a future for America. Yes or no.

61
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: That's the question, that is the only question. Do you

62
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: want a future for your children? Do you want a

63
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: future for your daughters? Do you want a future for society?

64
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: Because if you let these low life comedies take hold,

65
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: you have none. And Mam Donnie provesis don't worry. I'll

66
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: get into Mam Donnie's inaugural and his issues with rugged individualism.

67
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: He believes in the warmth of collectivism. Dear God, this

68
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: guy is gonna smile as he starves your kids. But Tony,

69
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: you can't talk like that. It all sounds so hyperbolic.

70
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: Let's talk about no war for oil. Let's talk about

71
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: this thing that was happening and that was occurring where

72
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: the lefties out there. They immediately took to the streets.

73
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: They took to the streets to say.

74
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: No war for oil.

75
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: And they were upset, and they were angry, and they

76
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: were all the things that one could could imagine. Do

77
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: we understand what that means? Because I don't believe they do,

78
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: because they are incredibly ignorant and shortsighted people. You'll notice

79
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: that this is the third or fourth time I've said

80
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: something derogatory about them. I have to figure out how

81
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: not to curse on radio. Everything after that I'm allowed

82
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: to do. And since I'm not a guy who is

83
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: going to engage in the foul language, I am the

84
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: guy who's going to say very clearly, these people are fools,

85
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: and they're a danger to you, to society, and to

86
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: your kids. They're a danger. It can't be said any

87
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: other way. And when I say they not like us,

88
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: I mean it. They are not like us. They don't

89
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: believe in America's future. No war for oil. What in

90
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: the world does that actually mean, no war for oil. Well,

91
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: in the pseudo intellectualism of their arguments, what they mean

92
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: is there is absolutely no reason whatsoever, no reason whatsoever,

93
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: we should be engaged in a war action so we

94
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: can control somebody's oil.

95
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 3: That's imperialism.

96
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: Let's start where we start here, just so you have

97
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: all the tools at your disposal to be able to

98
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: engage properly with these people who are out.

99
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: Of their minds. And they may very well be your aunt.

100
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: Your uncle, your parents, your brother, your sister, boyfriend, girlfriend.

101
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

102
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: When Hugo Chavez took power, he engaged in expropriation. There's

103
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: video out of there of him walking down streets. We

104
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: expropriate there, We expropriate there.

105
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: And now, of course he's not doing it in English.

106
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: But we're going to take control of all these buildings.

107
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna take control of all these places. We're going

108
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: to take control of all these areas. When that happened.

109
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: When that happened, he took American hardware. He took what

110
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: is rightfully property of the United States, United States companies.

111
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: Now the Communist doesn't accept this, because the Communist doesn't

112
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: believe in personal property rights. But the Communist is a

113
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: wholly damned fool, including Zarn Mamdani and everybody who ever

114
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: supported him.

115
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: But we should start there with that theft.

116
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: Then we should recognize that the oil was not utilized

117
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: for the benefit of the society event as well, it

118
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: was used for the benefit of Yugos Javez and then

119
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: Nicholas Maduro, not caring about the people. With Maduro's arrest,

120
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: you could argue it's a drug charge, it's a gun charge.

121
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: Capone was capone and they got it for tax evation.

122
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: You could argue this is the same thing, but as

123
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: a much deeper, deeper meaning as well. What he's charged

124
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: with versus what he's done. One could clearly state that

125
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: there is an opportunity here for the people of Venezuela

126
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: to be made whole, to have a better life. As

127
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,239
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, the people of Venezuela are celebrating,

128
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: to which the leftists in the United States is outraged.

129
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: How could you be celebrating?

130
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: The leftist has to live through the policies that Americans,

131
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: American liberals fantasize about.

132
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: They play about.

133
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: Remember all of those protests that we saw at Columbia

134
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: University or whatever.

135
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: These are people playing dress up.

136
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: They put on the Kafia and they pretend that they're

137
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: being locked out and they have to stay in this building,

138
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: and here's the administration. They won't even bring people water.

139
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 2: Bring your own damn water. There's a bathroom, Go get

140
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: some water. What's wrong with you? You have uber eats

141
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: on your phone. But they're play acting like they're the

142
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: poor people of Hamas, not of Gaza, not of people

143
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: being slaughtered by Hamas. They play acted that they were

144
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: Hamas because they have nothing they could do with their lives.

145
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: They have no issues, they have no problems, there's nothing

146
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: wrong going on with them.

147
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: They have to pretend that they are.

148
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: Outraged, and since they have been trained through their high

149
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: school years and through their college years, and through culture

150
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: to hate America's existence and to hate Western civilization. Anything

151
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: that can be seen as a press or pressor, that's

152
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: something they play with because that's the only thing that

153
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: they know. And America has to be the oppressor in

154
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: all cases. Maduro to them is not an oppressor. America is.

155
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: But the people who have actually lived through it understand

156
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: that the United States just did them a tremendous favor.

157
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: And they are in the streets celebrating because twenty six

158
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: years of this hell was enough. All of these lefties

159
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: in the United States, all of these Karens, all of

160
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: these liberal white women, these terrible people.

161
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: Play actors children.

162
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: That's how I started. The oil will be sold and

163
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: the people of Venezuela will profit. Warf oil is not

164
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: a bad thing. Let me say it again, warfo oil

165
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: is not a bad thing. I'll say it one more time.

166
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: There are a lot of wars. Oil is a big deal,

167
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: and only children don't think so. The problem for them is,

168
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: and maybe some other people haven't thought about it this way.

169
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: What do we mean by a war for oil? What

170
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: is it that we're referring to.

171
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: One must understand Frederick Bostiacht, the economist Bostiacht with one

172
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: of the something I talk about all the time to

173
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: myself is the idea of what is seen.

174
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: Versus what is unseen.

175
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: Now, a lot of us know this, and and I

176
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: guess an economist would would would engage it differently. And

177
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that my definition is pitch perfect,

178
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: but I think is close enough for government work, what

179
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 2: is seen and what is unseen, which another way could

180
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: be said of opportunity cost. Right somewhere amongst all of us,

181
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: we have this basic concept of opportunity cost. And whether

182
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: you're in business or not, if I do this, it

183
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: means I don't have time to do that. If I

184
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: put my money here, it doesn't mean I can put

185
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: my money there.

186
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 3: And you can apply it to business applied to life.

187
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: If I buy this pair of sneakers, if I get

188
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: these new Jordans, I can't afford this thing over here.

189
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: If I spend my time playing these video games, I

190
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: can't then do this other thing. Right, that's a way

191
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 2: to say it. You can't do it all. Opportunity cost

192
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 2: is investing hear me, I can't invest over there. Bassia

193
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: discussed this as the scene and the unseen.

194
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 3: What you see.

195
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: Is America taking out Maduro, this thug, low life scumbag.

196
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 3: And what you see is the United.

197
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: States gaining access control of this oil.

198
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: And so the leftist being.

199
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: Of low mind and an unwillingness to engage this process

200
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: that you and I are doing right now, because they

201
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: are they're unwilling.

202
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 3: They say, ah, so we're stealing the oil.

203
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: What they do not see is that if we have

204
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: the oil, China and Russia don't. This will anger the leftist.

205
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: But for the rest of us, whether we're Republicans or

206
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: conservatives or independents or moderates or agnostic politically, we could

207
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: see how that's a good thing, starving the Russians, further

208
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: starving the Chinese of their much needed energy, preventing them

209
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: from having a foothold in the Western hemisphere, which is

210
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: of course the conversation of the Monroe doctrine coming back

211
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: to life.

212
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: We'll get to that if we have.

213
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: Control, then the Chinese and the Russians don't. So we

214
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: took over another country to do that. No, we did, however,

215
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: take out a leader who was not the guy who

216
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: was the duly elected president. He wasn't the president, as

217
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio Keith pointing out of Venezuela. But he was

218
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: controlling the country and he was allowing drugs to be

219
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: brought into our country, and he had to be stopped.

220
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: And yes, the president has precedent that allows him to

221
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: make this move. I don't argue you that there can't

222
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: be a constitutional conversation have take place. Is this something

223
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: that requires a declaration of war? We brought it up

224
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: here repeatedly, we discussed it. We're not afraid of the subjects,

225
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: but the left is because they'll scream about that and

226
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: not see the precedent. I believe we can go to

227
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: Noriega and engage that they won't see the better life

228
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: for the Venezuelans, which they are celebrating themselves, and they

229
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: won't see the move here geopolitically because they don't have

230
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: the capacity for thought. What it's time bandits. They're devoid

231
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: the ravages of thought, but we are not. There's a

232
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: lot to what took place over the weekend, including skill

233
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: and precision, that is hard to fathom. The communists are

234
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: always wrong. The communists are always dangerous. The communists are

235
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: always deadly, and the communists always have to be thwarted

236
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: everywhere at all times, including right here in the United States.

237
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: The taking of Maduro. The more I think about it,

238
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: the more okay I am with it, and what it

239
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: is allowed creates great opportunity. I'll have more on this,

240
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: keep it here. I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony

241
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: Katz Today.

242
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: I can't believe I have to say this out loud now.

243
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: I did not buy a Rolls Royce.

244
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: I I cannot believe I have to say this. So,

245
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: first of all, Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good to

246
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: be with you live streaming on YouTube. Come check it

247
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: out for yourself, YouTube dot com, slash Tony Katz. Come

248
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: be a part of it. I did not get a Rolls.

249
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: Here's what happened yesterday. So Sunday, everything was going fine,

250
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: going good. I'm posting some things, I'm doing my work.

251
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: I got hacked all of a sudden, can't log into

252
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: two Twitter X.

253
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: Huh, that's weird.

254
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: I just changed my password a couple days before. It's

255
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: very strange, and so I go to it. The next

256
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: thing I see is that, you know, I go through

257
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: the process to recover something, and and and it has

258
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: an email address that's not mine. Literally, at that moment,

259
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: I get a text from a friend of mine. You

260
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: know you've been hacked, right, I'm like, how do you

261
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: know I've been hacked? I expect them to say, because

262
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: I've done it, and now I want all the bourbon.

263
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: No DM started going out.

264
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: Direct messages started going out from my account from this

265
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: loser schmuck who's trying to get everybody to buy crypto.

266
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 3: And so the post was, hey.

267
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: Look what did it say producer Landon, Look what I

268
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: got with my crypto earnings.

269
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was something along the lines of like, well,

270
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: I've finally invested in enough crypto for years now and

271
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: I've been able to finally get my dream car of

272
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 4: a Rolls Royce.

273
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 2: So it said that I have invested and look at

274
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 2: my dream car, and it was a picture of a Roles.

275
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: STV I believe, Yeah, it was an TTV.

276
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: So now allow me. I did not. First of all,

277
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: I was hacked. And what's weird is immediately trolls were

278
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 2: all over me about it. So I got to assume

279
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: one of the trolls did it. I am in charge

280
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: of these people's lives. It's so insane. Every day is

281
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: something else they live and die bit by me being

282
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: in their head. It's crazy, surreal, and so first things first,

283
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: I did not buy Rolls Royce. I was hacked. Everything's

284
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: fine now, I hopefully it says that way. I did

285
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 2: not get a Rolls. I am not anti Rolls, but

286
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: I don't see me buying a Rolls Rice.

287
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: Now.

288
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 2: I did almost over the weekend by a Portie.

289
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: But it was not a new one.

290
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: It was used.

291
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: It was an eighty one. It's very I might still

292
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: do it, but.

293
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: The people who know me are like you'd get a

294
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: Porsche over a Cadillac. I am looking at a nineteen

295
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: seventy four El Dorado right now that has an interior that.

296
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: Looks like your great grandmother's couch.

297
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: That it's so cool landing hole that is my speed.

298
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: So if you ever see a post that somehow I've

299
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: bought a Rolls Royce, ask yourself. Has he put on

300
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: one hundred stations recently? And if not, then no, I

301
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: didn't get a roll This is Tony Patch. The rumormill

302
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: moved fast this morning, and it turns out to be accurate.

303
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota. I don't think he

304
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: sounds like that, but sure he is not running for reelection.

305
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 2: He was, and he has made the difficult decision not

306
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: to run for reelection. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good

307
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: to be with you. Translation. This a Somali fraud medicaid

308
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 2: scandal that his administration absolutely allowed to happen, has just

309
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: taken over his life and it will be too difficult

310
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: for him. So he went from being a vice presidential contender.

311
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: Let's make sure we're clear.

312
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: Tim Walls went from being a vice presidential contender to

313
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: being the top contender to be a contributor at MS

314
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: now in sixteen months. That's that is something else. So

315
00:20:53,800 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: he had himself a press conference today.

316
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 5: Well, good morning everyone, in happy new year.

317
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 6: Like many Minnesotans, I have to tell you, I was

318
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 6: glad to turn the page on twenty twenty five.

319
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 5: It was an exirly difficult.

320
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: Year for our state and it ended on.

321
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 5: A particularly sour note. For the last several years.

322
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 6: An organized group of criminals have sought to take advantage

323
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 6: of this state's generosity, and even as we make progress

324
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 6: in the fight against the fraudsters, we now see an

325
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 6: organized group of political actors seeking to take advantage of a.

326
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: Crisis that's so ugly and so gross. Can we start

327
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: truly at where we need to start? And that's not

328
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 2: even the level of fraud that's taking place not just

329
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, but all across the country, where you have

330
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: groups of people, not just Somali nationals, engaged in creating

331
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: these fraudulent daycare centers claiming their feet in kids. Nobody's checking,

332
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: nobody does the looking. They're taking in millions of dollars individually.

333
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: There's twenty seven businesses at this one location. This office

334
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: complex has fourteen businesses exactly the same, sometimes owned by

335
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: the same people. No one looked, no one cared to look.

336
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: The fraud is massive and widespread, massive and widespread. But

337
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: allow me to start where this story should start. This guy,

338
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 2: the governor who wants to blame people like Nick Shirley

339
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: and you and me for paying attention. That's what has

340
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: him angered that we're paying attention. This guy ran for

341
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: vice president of the United States. Where was the story

342
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: about this from the mainstream press. Where were the continual

343
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: stories about the fraud of the people of Minnesota.

344
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 3: There were none. There were none, And you and I,

345
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: you and me having a bourbon sitting on the barstool.

346
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: We know the answer to.

347
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: This before anybody says another word. Why were there no stories? Right?

348
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: You're one thousand percent correct because it would have hurt

349
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: him and Kamala Harris in beating Donald Trump, so they

350
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: kept it quiet. I want to make sure that that

351
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: always stays front and center in our minds, that this

352
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: is something we should.

353
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 3: Have well known about.

354
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: And the reason we didn't is because politically the media

355
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: did not care about the scandal. They don't care about

356
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: the scan, they don't care about the grip, they don't

357
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: care about the fraud, they don't care about the money

358
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: lost and the people screwed.

359
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: They care that they win. That's who they are. There

360
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: is no way this.

361
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: Story isn't something that gets discussed during a presidential election

362
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 2: when it's a vice presidential candidate who leads the state.

363
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 2: And there were people talking about these things on the

364
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 2: local level in Minnesota, people like j Coles KOLs and others,

365
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: and they deserve our respect and our thanks.

366
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: We don't get to see every story.

367
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 2: We live where we live.

368
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: We've got the.

369
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 2: Things that we're dealing with and it's a question whether

370
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: things bubble up.

371
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: In this case, it should have.

372
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: And I'll say, as a guy who does this, man,

373
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: I should have seen I should have seen that.

374
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 3: I should have known about that.

375
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: I should have been talking about it, I should have

376
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: been engaging in it. And it's a reminder to me

377
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: to be much more focused on these local stories, even

378
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: than I already am.

379
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: But the media that covers things every.

380
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: Day, this is a blatant act of suppression, blatant and

381
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: never would have occurred if Walls was a Republican And

382
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: you know it, and I know it, and they know it,

383
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: and he knows it. So he can get as angry

384
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: at Nick Shirley and the people who have been talking

385
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: about this story now as he wants. Who cares He

386
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: saw the fraud, he allowed the fraud. He continues, I

387
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: don't want to mince words here.

388
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 6: Donald Trump and his allies in Washington and in Saint

389
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 6: Paul and online want to make our state a colder,

390
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 6: meaner place.

391
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: First of all, it's hard to get colder than Minnesota. Secondly,

392
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: what allies does Donald Trump have in Saint Paul? Can

393
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: someone would someone do me a favor? Someone in the

394
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: in the in the chat room there in the livestream,

395
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: Would you do me a favor and would you look

396
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: up the registrations in Saint Paul, Minnesota Republicans a Democrat

397
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: and see what the favorability is to Democrats.

398
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: You would offer see this as a D plus right,

399
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: D plus seven.

400
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: Which means registration would favor Republicans by Democrats by seven points.

401
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: In some place else that might be Republicans by four points.

402
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: What is the D plus there Saint Paul, Minnesota. I've

403
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 2: never looked it up. He just had this press conference,

404
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: is the first time seeing it. Just like you, we're

405
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: doing this together. What allies does Trump have in Saint Paul?

406
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: It's just such garbage. It's Trump's fault that people are noticing.

407
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: Listen to his argument. His argument is, how dare you notice.

408
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: And talk about it?

409
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 6: They want to poison our people against each other by

410
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 6: attacking our neighbors, and ultimately they want to take away

411
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 6: much of what makes Minnesota the best place in the

412
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 6: country to raise a family. They've already begun trying to

413
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 6: withhold funds that were meant to help families afford child

414
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 6: and they have.

415
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: No intention of stopping there.

416
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 6: Make no mistake we should be concerned about fraud in

417
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 6: our state government. We cannot effectively deliver programs and services

418
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 6: if we can't earn the public's trust. That's why over

419
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 6: the past few years, we've made systemic changes in the

420
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 6: way we do business.

421
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about the systemic changes. By the way, Sarah,

422
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: who runs all our digital found the number Saint Paul,

423
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: Minnesota seventy one point five percent Democrat. What the hell

424
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: is he saying? What is he saying? Trump's allies in

425
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: Saint Paul. Three out of every four citizens a Democrat.

426
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm glad he notices we should do something about fraud.

427
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: I don't know why he didn't do it. I don't

428
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: know why he didn't ring the bell and say, hey,

429
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: Biden administration helped me out with this, unless, of course

430
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 2: bid An administration was cool with it.

431
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 6: We've gone to the legislature time and time again to

432
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 6: get more tools to combat fraud.

433
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 5: We've hired people.

434
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: What tool did you need to combat fraud?

435
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: What what tool was not out at your disposal to

436
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: combat fraud? What laws already existed on the books? Why

437
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: not just not approve anybody? Why not just stop the funding,

438
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: stop it cold until you've done an audit of every

439
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: single childcare center. All I know is the woman who

440
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: runs that stuff was out there saying we did a look,

441
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: and everybody's on the up and up, and of course

442
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: CNN did the same. Well, we called some daycare centers

443
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: and we were only able to speak to one, but

444
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: they told us they were totally legit, and we believed it.

445
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: And then we saw them later and they gave us

446
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: a note written by their mom and crayon, and we're like, oh,

447
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: now we've got substantial proof everything's fine. Those wascly Republicans

448
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: and their lies.

449
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: Guys. Do you ever wonder why we drink the bourbon?

450
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: Seventy one percent.

451
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: Democrat and he thinks that there's some great cabal against

452
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: him in Minnesota, who weren't.

453
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 6: We fired people who weren't doing their jobs. We've seen

454
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 6: people go to jail for stealing from our state. We've

455
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 6: cut off whole streams of funding in partnership with the

456
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 6: federal government where we saw widespread criminal activity. We put

457
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 6: new locks on the doors of our remaining programs, and

458
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 6: we've hired a new head of program integrity to make

459
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 6: sure that those locks can't be broken. All across this state.

460
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 6: Minnesotans are hard at work on this problem.

461
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: What did he just say? We put new locks on

462
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: the doors.

463
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 6: Hold on to make sure that those locks can't be

464
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 6: broken all across this We put new locks on the

465
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 6: doors of our remaining programs, and we've hired a new

466
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 6: head of program integrity to make sure that those locks

467
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 6: can't be broken all across this Can.

468
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: I can I get the name of this diversity higher? No? Oh, oh,

469
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: the new.

470
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: Head isn't the DEI thing. Hey, I don't know, I

471
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: don't know who it is. But what a thing to say.

472
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: We put locks on doors.

473
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: Wait, actual locks on doors because I was told by

474
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: the Democrats. Uh, you know, of course the doors are

475
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: already locked.

476
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: So which locks are we talking about?

477
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 5: Let them talk from this problem.

478
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 6: Advocates, administrators, investigators.

479
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 5: Are on the front lines defending the integrity.

480
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 6: Of our state's programs, and I want to give a

481
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 6: very heartfelt thank you to all of them.

482
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 5: There is more to do.

483
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 6: A single taxpayer dollar wasted on fraud should be intolerable.

484
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 6: And while there's a role to play for our everyone

485
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 6: from the legislature to prosecutors to insurance companies for local

486
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 6: and County government.

487
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 5: The buck does stop with me.

488
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 6: My administration has been taking fast, decisive action to solve

489
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 6: this crisis.

490
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 5: We'll win the fight against the fraudsters.

491
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 6: But the political gamesmanship we're seeing from holds up.

492
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: Holds up? Hold up?

493
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: What fast decisive action are you referring to? If I

494
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: were to engage a bit of paraphrase here.

495
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: I would say, what is fast and decisive?

496
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: Is you realizing that the Nick Shirley video and the

497
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: attention it has garnered, and the conversations that have come

498
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: from it and from the original story by City Journal

499
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: via the Manhattan Institute, that has caused you to act.

500
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: This is a great example, an absolutely fantastic example of

501
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: the difference between the thermostat and the thermometer. The thermometer

502
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: registers temperature, it takes temperature. The thermostat actually moves the temperature.

503
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: And what happened was.

504
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: With this Nick Shirley video that's reporting from Crystal Rufo

505
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: and City Journal, is that it raised the temperature and

506
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: now you reading the temperature, were forced to respond and

507
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: deal with it. That's how you moved fast.

508
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 6: But the political gamesmanship we're seeing from Republicans is only

509
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 6: making that fight harder.

510
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 7: Lie.

511
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 6: I got Republicans here in the state legislature playing hide

512
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 6: and seek with potential whistleblowers.

513
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: Lie.

514
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 5: We've got conspiracy.

515
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 6: Theories, right wing YouTubers breaking into our daycares.

516
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 5: No, they're not demanding access to our children.

517
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: That didn't happen.

518
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 6: We've got the President of the United States demonizing our

519
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 6: Samali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on.

520
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: You can be angry at Trump's words all you want,

521
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: it does not change what has happened. And this is

522
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: why Tim Walls is not running for reelection now. He

523
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: has to.

524
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: Focus on this. It ended his political career.

525
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: And he will be a contributor on MS now that

526
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: is coming, just wait for it. But blaming Republicans, that's

527
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: the gamesmanship. We're supposed to be opposed to, the fraud,

528
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: all of it.

529
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: Honestly, good riddance. I'm Tony Katz angel a good.

549
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: of the truck. The two drivers. There's a question of

550
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 2: whether or not they're in the country legally. There's a

551
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: question of how they got uh these they how they

552
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: got their CDLs and no uh they they are are

553
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 2: people who I have the story correct, came from another country.

554
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 3: This stuff is happening everywhere.

555
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: What we have done, what we have allowed to take

556
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: place when it comes to these CDLs and the people

557
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 2: we have allowed to drive these commercial vehicles. These two, yes,

558
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: I knew they were not American citizens because they have

559
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: ice deportation holds.

560
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 3: What are we doing We don't have enough truckers.

561
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not an excuse.

562
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 3: It's not an excuse.

563
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: We have to be very proactive in not allowing this

564
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: madness to take place where people are getting killed drugs

565
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: or v run and we have people who are not

566
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: citizens making this happen.

567
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: I'm Tony Katz.

568
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: Line from the Heartland and the Crossroads of America. It's

569
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. Nicholas Maduro was arranged drug trafficking charges.

570
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: And as we've stated, that's the.

571
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 3: Just a little bit of it. That's all that is.

572
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: It is the.

573
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 8: All the other things, all the other pieces that are

574
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 8: involved here with who Madua was, what was happening in Venezuela,

575
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 8: and what this story is to the world.

576
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today.

577
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,160

580
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: This was the reporting from Spectrum, I believe.

581
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 3: Via c spam, York Cours and protesters alike.

582
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 9: Since this story broke, tell us what you're saying out

583
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 9: there right now. This was where Maduro is being held.

584
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 9: Of course, as I said, he's in court now, but

585
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 9: where he's being held.

586
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 10: Yes, chan And on Saturday night, there were hundreds of

587
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 10: Venezuelans who are outside the Metropolitan Detention Center absolutely jubilant.

588
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 10: They were crying tears of joy. They had Venezuelan flags

589
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 10: draped around them. They were singing songs and dancing because

590
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 10: for them, the capture of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro was

591
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 10: a huge deal and for them it was something to celebrate.

592
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 3: Now today there's.

593
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 10: Not as much action here at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

594
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 10: That action is outside the United States Southern District Court.

595
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 10: But earlier this morning, around seven to fifteen am, Nicholas

596
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 10: Maduro was transported by helicopter from here to that Wall

597
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 10: Street helipad and then taken to five hundred Pearl Street

598
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 10: in order to be arraigned and outside the United States

599
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 10: District Court. Down there, there is a bit of a

600
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 10: clash going on between people who are against the decision

601
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 10: to capture the Venezuelan president and Venezuelans who are absolutely

602
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 10: thrilled about the military operation that captured Maduro.

603
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 3: Let me translate that for you.

604
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 2: White liberal women are very angry, and communists are very

605
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: angry people who have had to live on your communists

606
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: and white liberal women are overjoyed. Communists are a real problem,

607
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 2: and the real problem is that they're real, stupid, dangerous, violent.

608
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: They have no regard for history or for facts. Rather,

609
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 2: they have only their ideology to keep them warm. Which

610
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: brings us to one of the ugliest things that we

611
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: have seen in a long time, this inauguration of Zarnmumdani. Now,

612
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: if you heard me on Newsmax last week, I was

613
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 2: very very clear that they are definitely New Yorkers.

614
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: Who have my sympathy.

615
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: They didn't vote for this, mom, Donnie got just over

616
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: a million votes, with just over two million votes cast,

617
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: there's no massive groundswell for this. New Yorkers didn't show

618
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: up for their own elections. Okay, what do you want

619
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 2: from me. It's not my fault, it's their fault. And yes,

620
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 2: there are New Yorkers who won't want this, but they

621
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: voted for this. They voted for a guy who the

622
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: first thing he did was say anything that was ever

623
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: said about anti Semitism, we don't talk about it anymore

624
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: because of course he's an anti semi. The guy has

625
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: anti capitalists, he's anti American New Yorkers. They bought their tickets,

626
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 2: they knew what they were getting into. I say, let

627
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: them crash. I said that repeatedly on Newsmax last week.

628
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: I don't feel anything for them.

629
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 3: I don't what am I supposed to do.

630
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 2: Someone I spoke earlier with Major Mike lyons Or retired

631
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: the United States Army.

632
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk to him.

633
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: I'll share with you his interview coming up, and he

634
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: breaks into great detail how the military prepared for this

635
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 2: operation against Maduro, what this means, how this engages the

636
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: world stage, the Russia conversation, the China conversation. Of course,

637
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 2: what's going on with Iran, because there are massive protests

638
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 2: in Iran right now. The media refuses to cover that story.

639
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: And it's very possible the Iatola is gonna have to

640
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 2: flee for his life. Trump is reshaping the world man.

641
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: Democrats certainly hate it because Joe Biden could only reshape

642
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: an ice cream cone. But this was this was Maumdanni,

643
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 2: This Mom Donni is inauguration and Zarmumdani is a communist.

644
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: We're not debating here, We're not going to agree to disagree.

645
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 2: He is what he is. All communists are dangerous people because,

646
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 2: knowing the reality of the horror of their ideology, they

647
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: continue to push it. The horror is clearly something that

648
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: is attractive and thrilling to them in a way that

649
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: I cannot comprehend, if only because I'm not a grulish monster.

650
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 2: It is not that there aren't people that I might

651
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: disagree with politically or disagree with me politically. If you

652
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 2: favor communism, you are a monster, Mom, Donnie, Bernie Sanders,

653
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: a Cassia Cortes. These are people who don't believe in

654
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: the America you and I believe in, and the people

655
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: who support them don't believe in America.

656
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 3: At all, and their anger.

657
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: For example, as we've stated about Maduro, is that how

658
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: dare you arrest somebody who supports our communist dream? Even

659
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 2: though it's not a dream for anybody who lives in Venezuela.

660
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 2: The progressive, the commune, this will always tell you. See

661
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: that's because communism hasn't actually been implemented properly yet. See

662
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: that's the problem. We need to do it better, we

663
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 2: need to do it properly. See. No, the problem is

664
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's it's those Republicans. It's the Republicans.

665
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: All that said, it's what does that have to do

666
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: with our with with Venezuela. It doesn't matter. We got

667
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: to blame the blame the Republicans. It's always somebody else's

668
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: fault as to why their disastrous ideology doesn't work. As

669
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: opposed to the recognition of hey guys, you know what,

670
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: this ideology sucks.

671
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: We should not do that, We should try something else.

672
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 2: Capitalism is better than communism, always, every day, and anyone

673
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 2: who doesn't believe that is wrong. I'll debate gladly on

674
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 2: the show call in Feel Free, Feel Free.

675
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 3: I am more than happy to rip asunder.

676
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: The radicalness of a position that somehow capitalism is bad.

677
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 3: Aha. What a foolish thing.

678
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: To say, Absolutely foolish, foolish to think that somehow communism

679
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: has a value.

680
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: And you saw all these.

681
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 2: Protesters out there over the weekend, and they're wearing cafias.

682
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 3: Again.

683
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 2: The Red Green Alliance something that we've been discussing here,

684
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 2: this connection point between the communist and the Islamist for

685
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: the desire for the destruction of Western civilization, destroying America.

686
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: And then they'll fight each other, but they have to

687
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 2: destroy us first. They have to destroy Western civilization first.

688
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: And that's why we have to vote on November third.

689
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 2: We have to win. They have to lose because they

690
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 2: can't run a society, but they're desperate, still even knowing

691
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: the truth, to push their ideology on you, me and we.

692
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 2: This was Mum Donnie's inaugural address.

693
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 4: Listen, long these communities have existed as distinct from one another.

694
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 4: We will draw this city closer together. We will replace

695
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 4: the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

696
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 4: If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York

697
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 4: yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it. Because

698
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 4: no matter what you eat, how you pray, or where

699
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 4: you come from, the words that most define us are

700
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 4: the two we all share.

701
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 3: New Yorkers.

702
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: Long can't describe the savageness in this statement that you

703
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 2: heard first.

704
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 4: These communities have existed as distinct from one another. We

705
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 4: will draw this city closer together. We will replace the

706
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 4: frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

707
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 2: If out that is a diseased mind at play. The

708
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: warmth of collectivism can be seen in Venezuela, where the

709
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 2: people eat pingent pigeons and are now cheering that Maduro

710
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: has been arrested.

711
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 3: That is reality.

712
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 2: People who have lived under the hellscape and pseudo intellectuals

713
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: like Zaron Mondani who want to institute this violence upon

714
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 2: the people and watch and you listen to the lemmings

715
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 2: who cheer for this.

716
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 3: In his cabinet, he is putting c. Weaver cea.

717
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 2: Now, I got to admit I wasn't too familiar with

718
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: Sea Weaver, but ce Weaver is the kind of person

719
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 2: who is writing in twenty nineteen. Private property, including and

720
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 2: kind of especially home ownership, is the weapon of white

721
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 2: supremacy masquerading as wealth building. What how in the how

722
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 2: how is private property white supremacy? Now, the communist doesn't

723
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 2: believe in private property. They believe they should be allowed

724
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: to control everything about you. And you already see Mom

725
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 2: Donnie going after landlords. Mam Donnie will move heaven and

726
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: earth to take property away from individuals. As a matter

727
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: of just understanding, I have often referred to the fact

728
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: that it's not about property. It's the right to say no.

729
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 2: If you do not have the right to say no,

730
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 2: you are not free.

731
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 3: You're just not. You have to be able to sow

732
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 3: to things.

733
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 2: But the argument is is that the if you cannot

734
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 2: own real property, you are you are you are a slave.

735
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: This government, this Mom Donnie government, wants to take private

736
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 2: property away from you. See Weaver spelled CEA. Maybe it's Cia,

737
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: Maybe it's CIA. She has also written there is no

738
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 2: such thing as a good gentrifier. Only people who are

739
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 2: actively working on projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism,

740
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: and people who aren't.

741
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 3: That's from July twenty eighteen, impoverished.

742
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 2: The white middle class home ownership is racist, failed public policy.

743
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: That's what she's written.

744
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 2: This white woman has written repeatedly, well, she is going

745
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: to be the tenant director for Mom Donnie.

746
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 3: In her own words, I think.

747
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 11: The reality is is that for centuries we've really treated

748
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 11: property as an individualized good and not a collective good,

749
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 11: and we are going to and transitioning to treating it

750
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 11: as a collective good and towards a model of shared

751
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 11: equity will require that we think about it differently, and

752
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 11: it will mean that families, especially white families, but some

753
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 11: pot families, whour homeowners as well, are going to have

754
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 11: a different relationship to property than the one that we

755
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 11: currently have.

756
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 2: The only way to take the property is via the

757
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: barrel of a gun.

758
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: So let us start with the fact that the communists

759
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: is violent.

760
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: The communists is dangerous, and the communists will hurt you

761
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: to get their way. They will utilize the courts, they

762
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: will utilize the law, they will send police down, whatever

763
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 2: forces they have to take from you what is yours

764
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 2: through your sweat and through your labor, or through your inheritance,

765
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 2: and they will say it belongs to them, that they

766
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 2: somehow know better to utilize it, they somehow know better

767
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 2: to operate it than you. The collect knows better. These

768
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 2: are violent, terrible people. They have to lose elections, and

769
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: we now get to watch New York fall apart as

770
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 2: a lesson for the rest of us. Don't do that,

771
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 2: but make sure we start where we start. All Communists

772
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 2: are violence. Every communist policy is a policy of violence.

773
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders is a communist and he's violence. Mamdannie's a

774
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 2: communist and these violence. AOC is a communist and she's violent.

775
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 2: They are all violent. Talk about the Green New Deal.

776
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: What wasn't violence about telling people what they can drive,

777
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: what they can't drive, forcing people into things that they

778
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 2: didn't want, and telling people when they can or can operate,

779
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: for example, their air conditioner, like you saw in California,

780
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: where they're desperate to move everybody onto electric so they

781
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: could control the grid. Nobody's making anything up here.

782
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 3: All we're doing is noticing what these people are.

783
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 2: They are saying, we're coming for the property, white people

784
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 2: who own property. Well that's the problem. That's not the problem.

785
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 2: Property is good. We're gonna come after the landlords. We're

786
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 2: gonna institute rent control. Best of luck finding an apartment

787
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 2: in New York. Everything that Trump did in New York,

788
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: they hate Trump for this, They hate Trump for that.

789
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: Those buildings Trump built are still bringing tax dollars.

790
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 3: Into New York. Trump did something for New York. Mom.

791
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 3: Donnie has done.

792
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 2: Zero, Deblasio did zero, Eric Adams did.

793
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 3: Zero, Nothing Kathy Hulkel.

794
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 2: Nothing Trump created jobs, created techs, benefits, and opportunities, and

795
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 2: has created real economic value and creates nothing.

796
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 3: It takes from the producers.

797
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 2: It's all it does.

798
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 3: It's all it does.

799
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: So while the people in Venezuela cheer that maybe the

800
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: communist hellscape is over, the people of New York are

801
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: cheering to implement a communist hellscape, as if somehow they

802
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 2: can do it better. You know, some people are really

803
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 2: slow learners, and no one should be like New Yorkers.

804
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 3: On Tony Kaunt's three More Things.

805
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 2: To get to some stories that are out there that

806
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 2: not enough people are talking about, and this one is

807
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 2: gonna grow. This guy Seth harp I saw laughing Wolf

808
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 2: talking about this good dude. Is Levingwolf over at Red State?

809
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 2: Or is he at town Hall?

810
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 3: Is a little bit everywhere?

811
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 2: This guy docks a Delta Force commander. Seth harp an

812
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: investigative reporter and author, had his post blocked on X.

813
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: He docks a Delta Force commander for kidnapping the rightful

814
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 2: president of Venezuela. First of all, he's not. The rightful

815
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,240
Speaker 2: president of Venezuela is Maduro, who pled not guilty.

816
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 3: I'll get to that.

817
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 2: This is the current commander of Delta Force, whose men

818
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 2: just invaded a sovereign country, killed a budge of mens, people,

819
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: kidnapped the rightful president. He then included a screenshot that

820
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: contained personal information about the commander and I believe about

821
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 2: the commander's children. His book The Fort Brad Cartel, Drug

822
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,959
Speaker 2: Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces is being turned

823
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 2: into a TV show by HBO. You're gonna You're gonna

824
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 2: put together a show with a guy who docks is

825
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 2: the names of children? Doxing right, exposing the names of children.

826
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 2: Scumbags exist everywhere. Then January sixth, did you know that's

827
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 2: called divorce day? There's something very ugly about this. There's

828
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: a spike in divorces that takes place in January, seemingly

829
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 2: because couples go through Christmas. They're like, all right, I'm

830
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: never doing that again. We're done here January sixth. And

831
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 2: they consider January a divorce month because people are thinking

832
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 2: about a fresh start. That is a societal ill kids.

833
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 2: And then there's Tony Dakoppel, who's gonna be the new

834
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 2: I Grew of CBS Evening News, and he wants you to.

835
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 3: Know, and I get it.

836
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 12: I get it because I've been hearing about it from

837
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 12: just about everybody for more than twenty years, as I've

838
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 12: traveled to America on this assignment, or that my mom's

839
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 12: neighbors in West Virginia, my own neighbors in New York City,

840
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 12: thousands and thousands of conversations in between.

841
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 3: Sometimes people want to.

842
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 12: Talk to me about our coverage of NAFTA or the

843
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 12: Iraq War. Other times it's all about Hillary Clinton's emails

844
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 12: or Russia Gate, or more recently, COVID lockdowns, Hunter Biden's laptop,

845
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 12: or the President's fitness for office.

846
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 2: So he has decided he's going to report the news

847
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 2: no matter what, and the left is angry with him

848
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 2: who wanted to report.

849
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 3: The news story?

850
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 13: And Tony Katz that are increasing the consequences of boots

851
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 13: on mcground When a five time draft dodger like Donald

852
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 13: Trump talks about it and bangs war drums from the

853
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 13: safety and security of his resort in Florida, I have

854
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 13: course Bristol, because I learned a long time ago. When

855
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 13: you know folks in Washington bang the war drums and

856
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 13: talk tough and pound their chest about what we're going

857
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 13: to do and sending boots on the ground. They're not

858
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 13: talking about their kids. They're not talking about their family.

859
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 13: They're not the ones that are going to have to

860
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 13: go do the thing. They're talking about young kids, our

861
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 13: brothers and sisters, our sons and daughters, people from rural towns,

862
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 13: working class Americans like I grew up with, that are

863
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 13: going to have to pick up rifles, jump in the tanks,

864
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,959
Speaker 13: jump in the ships and helicopters, and actually.

865
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 5: Do the tough work.

866
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 2: That's representative Jason Crowe, Democrat, with the same garbage argument

867
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 2: that I have heard my entire life. And I've always

868
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 2: known that it is an argument of children. But I

869
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 2: am much more comfortable with saying, my god, what a

870
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 2: stupid argument. And I would say that to the congressman

871
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 2: to his nose. I do not care if you served,

872
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: it's always somebody else's kid. We don't know that, we

873
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 2: don't get it. What kind of left this Tucker Carlson

874
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 2: Candace Own's ridiculous argument is this, it's always somebody else's kid, Congressman,

875
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean it doesn't get done. And you know

876
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 2: who sends somebody else's kid, Somebody from far away, Tony Katz,

877
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 2: Tony kats today, good to be here, good to be

878
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: with you. That means we should not, indeed go to

879
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: war for light and transient causes. That does not mean

880
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 2: we don't do anything anywhere. This is about your hatred

881
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 2: of Trump, not because you have some concern about members

882
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: in the military. This is me, a man who never served,

883
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 2: saying it to you. Congressman Crow, your argument is garbage.

884
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 2: The question is should we have now You can ask

885
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: the constitutional question, did we just engage in active war

886
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 2: with then Azuela? In active wars acts of war have

887
00:57:54,320 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 2: to be declared by Congress. That's a legitimate question. The

888
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 2: one one that we should discuss. A draft. Dodger bangs

889
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 2: his chest and send other kids, other people's kids to fight.

890
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: The draft.

891
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 2: Dodger was an elected president twice and very possibly three times.

892
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 3: Can I help you.

893
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 2: He's the commander in chief and you're not. And you

894
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 2: made a video telling members of the military not to

895
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 2: listen to the commander and chief. Is that what you're

896
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 2: angry about, Congressman Crow. Are you just angry about the

897
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 2: fact that they listened and they did their job, and

898
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 2: they trained, and they were efficient and they were effective

899
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: and they got the target and got out with their lives.

900
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,919
Speaker 2: Are you upset that they weren't killed so you could

901
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: scream about how Donald Trump got troops killed, never once

902
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 2: bringing up Abby gat and Joe Biden to Jensaki as

903
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 2: you sit there on her show on MS now and

904
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 2: pretend that she wasn't part of a cover up. Is

905
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: this your argument, Congressman Crow. One of the great flaws

906
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 2: in our society, sir, is that people who served somehow

907
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 2: and not all. I shouldn't say all, So maybe I

908
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 2: have to be a little more descriptive. There's a segment

909
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 2: of our population that believes if you didn't serve, you

910
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 2: don't get to speak.

911
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:26,959
Speaker 3: There's a segment of our.

912
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 2: Population that believes if you're not a woman, you don't

913
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 2: get to talk about abortion, which is amazing because they

914
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 2: finally understand what a woman is. To both of those arguments,

915
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: in both of those groups of people, I say, pound

916
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 2: Sand I'm an American citizen with a mind. I'll talk

917
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 2: about the military all I want. I'll discuss the fact

918
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 2: that we don't have a navy that's strong enough yet

919
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 2: we need three hundred and forty ships, and we need

920
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 2: to start building yesterday, I would say to the President

921
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 2: of the United States, we're not building fast enough. I

922
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 2: would say to anybody who tells me I can't talk

923
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 2: about an abortion because I'm a man, abortion's murder. I

924
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 2: don't need to be a man or a woman to

925
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 2: be able to understand that it's murder. It doesn't change reality.

926
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 2: The fact that I can't have an abortion doesn't change

927
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: whether or not I can discuss whether or not we

928
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 2: should be a country that engages an abortion. Because if

929
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 2: we're going to say you must be ex to do why,

930
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: I guess we should go back.

931
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 3: To only landowners voting.

932
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 2: If the Democratic Party wants to start a fight with me,

933
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm all in, because there's always room for a butt kicking.

934
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 3: The argument is bunk. Now.

935
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 2: I should be clear that the argument sometimes comes from

936
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 2: the political right that if you didn't serve in the military,

937
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: you don't get a say.

938
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 3: Of course I do.

939
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm a citizen of the United States. Of course I

940
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 2: get a say. And if you want me to respect

941
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 2: the service and then tell me I don't get to

942
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: talk about things, I don't know why you're asking for

943
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 2: my respect, because you ain't gonna get it. You don't

944
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 2: deserve it. Of course, it's always somebody who isn't serving,

945
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 2: sending other people's kids into harm's way. That's why when

946
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 2: we elect a commander in chief, we should make sure

947
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 2: that they have got the temperament to do the job properly,

948
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 2: and the military has the skill set to do the

949
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 2: job effectively, and they have the proper training. They have

950
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 2: the proper techniques, they have the proper hardware, they have

951
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 2: the proper attitude. They know their assignment, they know their mission.

952
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 2: They're practiced and ready for it. So when the moment comes,

953
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 2: whether it's a bombing rate of nuclear facilities in Iran

954
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 2: or taking Maduro out of Venezuela, they can do so

955
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 2: with such unbelievable accuracy that the rest of the world

956
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 2: is left saying, holy cow, did you see that?

957
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 3: Which is exactly what took place.

958
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 2: I would argue to the chagrin of Congressman Crowe, and

959
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep saying that he can come on the

960
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 2: show and we can discuss it.

961
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 3: Marduro has pled not guilty.

962
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 2: He is calling himself an innocent man, saying I was captured.

963
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 2: He said when he asked for his plea, I'm innocent,

964
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm not guilty. I am a decent man the president

965
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 2: of my country. But he is not the president of

966
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 2: his country. The election results show he is not the

967
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:46,959
Speaker 2: president of his country, and he stayed in power and

968
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 2: he jailed dissonance. Now, right now in Venezuela, an interesting

969
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 2: thing is taking place. Del Rodriguez is in charge. That

970
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 2: is the vice president, a technocrat as as described, and

971
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 2: you'll note there's been no move whatsoever to bring Gonzales

972
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 2: into the presidential palace, who won the last election, And

973
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 2: there's been no move as of yet to bring Maria

974
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: Karina Mikado in. Who's Maria Karina Mikado. You remember her.

975
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 2: She won the Nobel Peace Prize in twenty twenty five,

976
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 2: and she's the one who came out and said thank

977
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: you President Trump for being so supportive.

978
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 3: She handled it very well.

979
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 2: She is a Venezuelan politician and an activist pushing against

980
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 2: the Maduro regime. She is not in charge. Well, what

981
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 2: exactly is going on here? What exactly is happening here?

982
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 2: How why haven't there been moves to say this is

983
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 2: the duly to president, he's in charge, get rid of

984
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 2: the whole Maduro regime. We should be clear that what

985
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 2: we're seeing is still this regime and its remnants holding

986
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: on and that this military and others have found no

987
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 2: reason to sway yet. So there's a money conversation, there's

988
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 2: a fear conversation, a host of things. The Vice President

989
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 2: Delsea Rodriguez has stated that she wants to find a way.

990
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 2: First of all, they want Maduro back, best of luck.

991
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 2: There work a way to create a relationship with the

992
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 2: United States.

993
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should be afraid. I mean they should be,

994
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 3: which is.

995
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 2: Really a conversation for the rest of the world as well.

996
01:04:56,360 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 2: When the Israelis engaged the pager attack against Tesbla, the

997
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 2: pager attack showed what the Israelis were capable of. Very often,

998
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 2: what you realize from these things is that you don't

999
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 2: want to actually show what you're capable of, because by

1000
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,919
Speaker 2: showing what you're capable of, now people can be aware

1001
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 2: of what you're capable of.

1002
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 3: It's better to keep them guessing.

1003
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 2: But the Israelis decided at that time that it was

1004
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 2: the right move to make. They had a chance to

1005
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 2: really weaken this terrorist regime do so they did it.

1006
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 3: I do not know.

1007
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 2: If the military wanted to show the US military wanted

1008
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 2: to show that they have the capability of taking helicopters,

1009
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 2: landing at a military base, killing anybody who gets in

1010
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 2: their way, grabbing the target, and extracting them.

1011
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 3: In six minutes.

1012
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 2: Someone pointed out on Twitter x, which was great if

1013
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 2: you saw Stranger Things the finale a spoiler alert. The

1014
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 2: speech that Will Buyers gives coming out of the closet

1015
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 2: took more time than it took the US military to

1016
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 2: land at a Venezuelan military base where Maduro is guarded

1017
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 2: by Cubans. Take out the guards, get Maduro, and get

1018
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 2: them out.

1019
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's unbelievable.

1020
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,479
Speaker 2: And then there was did you you must have seen

1021
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 2: this already.

1022
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 3: You must have seen Marco Rubio.

1023
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 7: On with.

1024
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 2: Margaret Brennan, who hosts UH Face the.

1025
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 3: Nation over there.

1026
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 2: I'm curious, and she's she's confused, and she's lost, and

1027
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 2: she's curious.

1028
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 9: By the Trump administration decided to leave it intact and

1029
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 9: only arrest Nicholas Maduro and his wife. The person who

1030
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 9: controls the police, the chief thug dis Cabello. He's the

1031
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 9: Interior minister. He's been indicted by the United States. He

1032
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 9: was in that indictment the administration released. He's a narco terrorist.

1033
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 9: There's a twenty five million dollar price on his head.

1034
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 9: He's still in place. The defense minister who has deep

1035
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 9: ties to Russia, fifteen million dollar price on his head,

1036
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 9: he is still in place. I'm confused. Are they still

1037
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 9: wanted by the United States? Why didn't you arrest them?

1038
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 9: If you are taking out the narco terrorist regime.

1039
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 7: You're confused. I don't know why that's confusing.

1040
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 3: They're still in Pudib.

1041
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 7: We're going to go in and wrap up.

1042
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 14: You're going to but yeah, but you can't go You're

1043
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 14: going to go in and suck up five people. They're

1044
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 14: already complaining about this one operation. Imagine the howls we

1045
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 14: would have from everybody else that we actually had to

1046
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 14: go and stay there four days to capture four other people.

1047
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 7: We got the top priority.

1048
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 14: The number one person on the list was the guy

1049
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 14: who claimed to be the president of the country that

1050
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 14: he was not, and he was arrested along with his wife,

1051
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 14: who was also indicted. And that was a pretty sophisticated

1052
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 14: and frankly complicated operation. It is not easy to land

1053
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 14: helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in

1054
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 14: the country. The guy lived on a military base Land

1055
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 14: within three minutes, kick down his door, grab him, put

1056
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 14: him in handcuffs, read him his rights, put him in

1057
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,799
Speaker 14: a helicopter, and leave the country without losing any American

1058
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 14: or any American assets. That's not an easy mission. And

1059
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 14: you're asking me why didn't we do that in five

1060
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 14: other places at the same time.

1061
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 7: I mean, that's absurd.

1062
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio is so good.

1063
01:08:52,680 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 2: He's so good, it is absurd. It is absurd. It's

1064
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 2: absurd to think that Maduro was the was actually the president.

1065
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 2: It's absurd. But he has Maduro has said not guilty.

1066
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 2: He thinks himself decent and the president of his country.

1067
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 2: This trial will go on. We'll see how it plays out.

1068
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 2: But for the people upset that Trump engaged this operation,

1069
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 2: that is all for show. The Biden Harris administration at

1070
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 2: a twenty five million dollar bounty on Maduro's head. This

1071
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 2: is all about Trump hate and not about anything in reality.

1072
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 2: These people wouldn't know reality if it bit them. I'm

1073
01:09:45,800 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 2: Tony Katz. This is Tony Kats today.

1074
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 3: So I was asked whether or not this is a

1075
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 3: legit story.

1076
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 2: Homeland Security posting on Twitter x that Hilton Hotels is

1077
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 2: denying them access.

1078
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 3: And they published the tweets on x.

1079
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 2: Where they say after further investigation online or they publish

1080
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 2: the emails on Twitter X after further investigation online, we

1081
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 2: have found information about immigration work connected with your name

1082
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 2: and we will be canceling your upcoming reservation. This email

1083
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 2: is in regards to the reservation you made with the

1084
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 2: Hampton Inn Lakeville property. We have noticed that influx of

1085
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 2: government reservations made today that have been made for DHS

1086
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: and we are not allowing any ICE immigration agents to

1087
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 2: stay at our property.

1088
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 3: If you are with.

1089
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 2: DHS or immigration, let us know as we will have

1090
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 2: to cancel your reservation.

1091
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 3: What are you? Are you certifiably insane?

1092
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 5: Helton.

1093
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 2: By the way, we took a quick look at Hilton

1094
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 2: Stock as I'm talking to you right now, to eighty

1095
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 2: eight point sixty seven.

1096
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 3: It's been in basically the same range for the last month.

1097
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 2: That that's crazy. That is crazy that they canceled the reservations.

1098
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 3: I'll get more in that.

1099
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 2: Story when I have it.

1100
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 3: Keep it here. This is Tony Kats today.

1101
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:50,560
Speaker 1: Why from Vaal Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America.

1102
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 3: It's Tony Cats Today.

1103
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 2: It seems quite obvious that the vast majority of America

1104
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 2: and Americans don't understand what it took to act captured

1105
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:06,799
Speaker 2: Nicholas Maduro, the not elected leader of Venezuela. Tony Katz,

1106
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good.

1107
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 3: To be with you. It took a lot.

1108
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,959
Speaker 2: The practice, the skill of the daring, or the military

1109
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 2: expertise is a huge part of the story. But a

1110
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 2: larger part of the story, maybe a secondary part of

1111
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 2: the story, is the idea of what it is we've

1112
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 2: actually done here. How does this now not only engage

1113
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 2: legally as people question the constitutionality, which I think the

1114
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 2: president does have, but rather what is the story that

1115
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 2: is now told militarily to the rest of the world.

1116
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 3: Major Mike Lyons joins me right now, retired.

1117
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:49,759
Speaker 2: United States Army West Point graduate military analysts. Let's start

1118
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 2: with the basics here. Talk to me about what you

1119
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 2: can as you've done your research regarding this operation and

1120
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 2: what it took to be a to get these helicopters landed,

1121
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 2: to get Maduro apprehended, and then be able to leave

1122
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 2: without quite well, basically a shot being fired at American trups.

1123
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 15: Happy New Year, Tony.

1124
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 16: No question, this was likely one of the most sophisticated

1125
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,879
Speaker 16: and important military missions in the history of our country

1126
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 16: in that without done without any casulies whatsoever. One hundred

1127
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 16: and fifty aircraft. But let's take it even step back further.

1128
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 16: You know, I've been talking for months about what we're

1129
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 16: doing in the Caribbean, why are we bringing all these

1130
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 16: military assets there, and been talking to special operators about

1131
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 16: what to do, and none of us, none of us

1132
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 16: envisioned this kind of mission that was going to take place,

1133
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 16: and it's because we just thought it would be too

1134
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 16: high a body count. We just didn't think that the

1135
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 16: country would tolerate the kind of casualties that normally would

1136
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 16: go into this. The fact that there were no casualties

1137
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 16: is just, you know, nothing short of miraculous. And so,

1138
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 16: you know, we thought, you know, the army wasn't there,

1139
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 16: and so because the army wasn't there, that we weren't

1140
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 16: going to put twenty thousand troops on the beach someplace.

1141
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 15: We weren't going to do a d DA type invasion here.

1142
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 16: And so one hundred and fifty aircraft first take out

1143
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 16: their air defense systems in layers. So if you've got

1144
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 16: you know, Russian essay three hundred systems. Now, once again

1145
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 16: the United States shows that they're no, don't match for

1146
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 16: anything that we've got. Then they turn the lights out

1147
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 16: in Caracas and turn the lights out in the place,

1148
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 16: go in, do a black Hawk down type xviil an

1149
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 16: extraction there and again seventy fifth Rangers involved on the ground.

1150
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 16: We've we're seeing the Cuban government report thirty two of

1151
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 16: their security forces were killed. It's just the level of violence, security,

1152
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 16: the level of guile, the level of surprise, all of

1153
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 16: those things. Principles of war made it happen. It is

1154
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 16: the only country in the world that could have done

1155
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 16: a mission like that.

1156
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned the missile defenses and the essay

1157
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 2: three hundred odd. There's the SUE four hundred. I think

1158
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 2: it's the s U three hundred and the s U

1159
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 2: four Hundredsay but SU and this is a missile defense

1160
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 2: system created by the Russians, owned by a fair amount

1161
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 2: of countries, including some NATO nations like Turkey, and was

1162
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 2: meant to be, you know, the killer to our.

1163
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 3: F thirty five strike fighter.

1164
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 2: I want to get into that story in just a moment,

1165
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 2: but let's go back to nobody would have envisioned this

1166
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 2: type of takedown of Maduro. Talk to me about what

1167
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 2: it was.

1168
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 16: Right, the fact that he had surrounded himself both with

1169
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 16: personnel in a fortress area, in a well inside the country,

1170
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 16: in a military that had competency, and so it's possible

1171
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,520
Speaker 16: that the military was paid.

1172
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 15: Off and they knew that this was coming.

1173
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,679
Speaker 16: And from that perspective, we see that the current vice

1174
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 16: president now is starting to cooperate there.

1175
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 15: So they had the.

1176
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 16: CIA, and what they did to lay the groundwork for

1177
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 16: this operation was pretty substantial as well, because it obviously

1178
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 16: didn't leak in, it didn't get to Maduro and he

1179
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 16: was not able to you know, we saw the story

1180
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,799
Speaker 16: about him getting to a safe room, but the point

1181
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:11,719
Speaker 16: was the channel that was created, the pathway that got

1182
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 16: the helicopters took to get to that spot, to get there.

1183
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 15: Once there, how.

1184
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 16: Quickly they overwhelmed any of the human security that was

1185
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,839
Speaker 16: around him, knew exactly where the building was, knew exactly

1186
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 16: all his habits. You know, the level of detail as

1187
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 16: the CIA did to set the table for this was

1188
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 16: also pretty amazing.

1189
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:34,520
Speaker 2: Talking to Major Mike Lyons, retired United States Army Military Analysts,

1190
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 2: West Point Graduate, you know, we talk about what it

1191
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 2: took to set this up. They rebuilt his lack of

1192
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 2: a better word, fortress where he was spending a time

1193
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 2: on this military base, and people forget that it was

1194
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 2: on a military base. They were able to duplicate it,

1195
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,600
Speaker 2: replicate it, and then they trained on it. It is

1196
01:16:55,640 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 2: the stuff of movies, is what they did here. The

1197
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 2: ability to keep this a secret. Right. First you have

1198
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,600
Speaker 2: the hit on the Iranian nuclear facilities.

1199
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 3: Now you have this.

1200
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 2: I have heard all sorts of things about Pete Hegseth

1201
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 2: as the Secretary of War. I have heard about how

1202
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 2: the non coms love him, maybe the officer corps sees

1203
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 2: things differently, certainly how the media is desperate to get

1204
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 2: him out and has been. And there are mistakes the

1205
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 2: chat on signal and some other moves made on.

1206
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 3: A personnel level.

1207
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 2: But this is the second time, major, where we have

1208
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 2: seen absolute perfection from our military in a way that

1209
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 2: people didn't think, as you're describing.

1210
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 3: It, did not think could happen.

1211
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 7: Right?

1212
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 3: Accept that good?

1213
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 2: Or is this the military actually now being allowed to

1214
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 2: do what it does well?

1215
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 15: Maybe a little bit of both.

1216
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 16: I think that they have good intent from the commander

1217
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 16: in chief and from him They know what the mission is.

1218
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 16: I have been reinforcing that there's professionals up and down

1219
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 16: the line here, the JASAT commanders, even when it comes

1220
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 16: to targeting those drug boats, right, I mean, they know

1221
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 16: what they're doing, They are clear with their orders, they

1222
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 16: recognize their legal That that whole kerfuffle about you know,

1223
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 16: obeying I legal orders and the like was just just

1224
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 16: more distraction that these professionals didn't need. The people that

1225
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 16: are running our military are of the highest caliber, the

1226
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 16: highest commitment as to what they're doing. And again in

1227
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 16: this in this particular case, I'm sure there was a

1228
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 16: couple of times that even the Secretary felt that, boy,

1229
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 16: this is going to be a real reach to try

1230
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 16: to do this, and the fact that we pulled it

1231
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 16: off was just amazing. You know, two things you heard

1232
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 16: General Kane talk about, you know, kind of basically planning

1233
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 16: to fail. That's the difference between this mission now and

1234
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 16: you know, I still have the scars of nineteen eighty

1235
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 16: and what happened in Iran and that desert and that

1236
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 16: failure of that mission, and the fact that they didn't

1237
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 16: have you know, we don't have one the same radio

1238
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 16: frequencies back then. The failures and the silos that were

1239
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 16: created that without inner agency. We've come from that spot

1240
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 16: to now where we are today, where you heard General

1241
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 16: Kane talk about the joint force, the joint force, and

1242
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 16: that's what this was all about, all about the joint force.

1243
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 16: The fact that everybody did their role, brought their core

1244
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 16: competency to the table. Helicopters, planes, navy, everything, everybody did

1245
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 16: their role in this and that that's the secret. Now,

1246
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 16: that's why the United States is the best military. Well,

1247
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,640
Speaker 16: it's also why the Russians are wallowing in Novacaine in

1248
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 16: Ukraine because they just they fight still very siloed and

1249
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 16: they can't break out.

1250
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 15: Another separate issue.

1251
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 2: Though, talking to Major Mike Lyons, retired in the United

1252
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 2: States Army military analysts, let's get into how it's not

1253
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 2: a siloed The Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians are all

1254
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 2: affected by this.

1255
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 3: But I take it.

1256
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 2: To the piece you wrote over was it real clear

1257
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,759
Speaker 2: policy or one of the real clear places, right, which

1258
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 2: was about the Trump his doctrine of visible leverage, right,

1259
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 2: and how that plays into President Trump and basically this

1260
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 2: rethink and this remodel of the Monroe doctrine. James Monroe

1261
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 2: President James Monroe saying we must thwart European influence in

1262
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 2: the Western hemisphere.

1263
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:24,839
Speaker 3: Well, you take a look.

1264
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 2: At Venezuela and their connections to the Iranians, the Chinese,

1265
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 2: and the Russians. Is is this? It is this the

1266
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 2: proof and the message to the world that the Monroe

1267
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 2: doctrine is well in effect and simply this hemisphere is

1268
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 2: ours and you can go find someplace else to play.

1269
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1270
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 16: Absolutely, so I'm glad you brought that up, because it's

1271
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 16: exactly what ends up happening here is Trump now gains

1272
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 16: the leverage of control of Venezuelan oil.

1273
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 15: And I don't see anything wrong with that.

1274
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 16: Okay, we we we took Maduro out under the guise

1275
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 16: of the drug cartel, and that that that's that.

1276
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 15: To that excuse soda, so to speak.

1277
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 16: But the bottom line is now U US controlling Venezuela

1278
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 16: and controlling the energy in the oil. There is the

1279
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 16: leverage that Trump needs against China's the leverage it needs

1280
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 16: he needs against Canada, I mean, of all things. And

1281
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 16: it's clearly what he what he was after, which which

1282
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,640
Speaker 16: again I don't see if you're an American, what is

1283
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 16: wrong with that?

1284
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 15: And it's in our hemisphere.

1285
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 16: And it's not that the Venezuelan people are going to

1286
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 16: be pour over it when they're not going to be

1287
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 16: destitute of it.

1288
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 15: But we're going to use it as leverage against the Cubans.

1289
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 15: We're going to use it as leverage to restore democracy.

1290
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 16: We're going to use his leverage to bring to bring,

1291
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 16: you know, lift all the boats within our hemisphere. So

1292
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 16: we've ignored South America for a long time. I think

1293
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 16: it's it's pretty interesting that that people are concerned about,

1294
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 16: you know, all of a sudden, that that we're the

1295
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,839
Speaker 16: mean people taking three hundred you know, three hundred billion

1296
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 16: pairs of oil from the Venezuelans. We're not doing that,

1297
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 16: but we are controlling it that Chinese are no longer

1298
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 16: getting it, the Russians won't be able to sell military

1299
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 16: equipment to Venezuela and more, and Urania is gonna have

1300
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 16: to close down the drone factory that they had set

1301
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 16: up in Venezuela.

1302
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 15: Uh So, again all good.

1303
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 16: I wouldn't go as far as calling it the don

1304
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 16: Road doctor, and I wouldn't go there with it. But

1305
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 16: this is this is a long time coming, and I'm

1306
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 16: glad to see our country.

1307
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:18,759
Speaker 2: The president President Trump and that presser on Saturday morning

1308
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 2: referred to it as the Don Road doctrine. But to

1309
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 2: the larger point, this is about sending the signal. This

1310
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 2: certain there's no way to look at what happened and say, well,

1311
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 2: this was a peaceful move. This was an austrageously strong

1312
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 2: move that was meant to send the message. I have

1313
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 2: a theory on what that message truly is. But how

1314
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 2: do you see and others within the military analyst world,

1315
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 2: how does that message received and what was that message

1316
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 2: to the rest of the world.

1317
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 16: Oh, the message to first of all the Chinese and

1318
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 16: is that we're not going to let you take any

1319
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 16: foot hold at all within our hemisphere. That's number one.

1320
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 16: So that first and foremost most supporting. I mean, the

1321
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 16: Chinese delegation was there the day before.

1322
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 15: Now again you.

1323
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 16: Talk about also tell the fact that the Chinese didn't

1324
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 16: know that the mission was going on, because if they

1325
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 16: did know something this happened, they surely wouldn't have put

1326
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,679
Speaker 16: their people at risk of being anywhere near that place

1327
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 16: when this took place. So again, the level of secrecy, surprise.

1328
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 16: Only the United States could have pulled this off. You know,

1329
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 16: we're somewhat concerned about the Chinese military, obviously because of

1330
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 16: what they've built, But at the end of the day,

1331
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 16: they haven't fought in a war since nineteen seventy nine.

1332
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 16: They didn't do well then, and who knows what's going

1333
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 16: to happen once if the bullets start flying. I still,

1334
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 16: you know, the Chinese couldn't possibly get into Taiwan and

1335
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 16: take their leader like we did and make that situation

1336
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 16: there any different, make it less kinetic. So again, messages

1337
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 16: were sent to the Chinese, to the Russians about their

1338
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 16: equipment they're gone, and surely to the Ranians. So the

1339
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 16: Uranians wanted this oil as well. The Chinese wanted this oil.

1340
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 16: The Chinese were looking for the Venezuelan oil. So now

1341
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 16: all these tankers are going to be seized and the

1342
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 16: world energy markets are totally different.

1343
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 2: Talking to Major Mike Lyons, retired United States Army military analysts,

1344
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 2: let me stay on the topic and hit it from

1345
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 2: another direction. The Chinese were in Venezuela, they were meeting

1346
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 2: with Maduro. So were the Russians, and they were there

1347
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 2: on the day in that twenty four hour period where

1348
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 2: Maduro was taken. So your point of they clearly weren't

1349
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 2: aware because they would have been nowhere near the place

1350
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 2: and therefore tipping off Maduro that maybe something was an issue.

1351
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 3: That is very true.

1352
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 7: Now.

1353
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 2: The other way we said is they knew exactly what

1354
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 2: the United States was going to do and didn't tip

1355
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 2: their hands that they knew what the United States was

1356
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 2: going to do because it didn't affect them. So we

1357
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 2: do have to ask ourselves what is it that the.

1358
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 3: Chinese are aware of?

1359
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 2: But you brought up something that I have been saying,

1360
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,560
Speaker 2: others have discussed. I believe Gordon Chang is one of

1361
01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 2: these people and others. The question what they're not? The

1362
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 2: Chinese are indeed a paper tiger, whether or not they

1363
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 2: can actually sustain a punch to the nose. Is this

1364
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,719
Speaker 2: a basically a taking away of affront in their desire

1365
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 2: for Belton Road in trade, their desire for conquest and

1366
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 2: hegemony not only in the Pacific grim but they've been

1367
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 2: working on spending billions of dollars to have conquests in

1368
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 2: South America and Central America like they have in African nations.

1369
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 2: How much does this thwart their plans and how would

1370
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 2: we be able to see it militarily that it has.

1371
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 15: Oh, it totally thwarts their plans. Again, it gets back

1372
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 15: to energy.

1373
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 16: They're they're not going to have the energy capability to

1374
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 16: project the kind of power that they want to project

1375
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 16: throughout the world.

1376
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 15: This is the name of the game since the Second

1377
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 15: World War.

1378
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 16: I mean, the Japanese failing to knock out the United

1379
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 16: States energy reserves and gasoline and petroleum reserves when they

1380
01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 16: came into Pearl Harbor was one of the strategic mistakes

1381
01:25:59,880 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 16: that ended up making tactically first, but then obviously it

1382
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 16: impacted them because it allowed the United States to continue

1383
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 16: to continue the war there. The Chinese have really have

1384
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 16: got to go back to the basics now and go

1385
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 16: back to focusing on their backyard and knowing that this president,

1386
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 16: like you heard Mark Rubia say, he's going to say,

1387
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:20,800
Speaker 16: you know, he says what he means, He's going to

1388
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 16: do what he says he's going to do. There's no

1389
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 16: more playing around about that. The leverage now we have

1390
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:29,560
Speaker 16: over China with this oil that it's not unlikely that

1391
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 16: that Trump does a deal with China that eventually allows

1392
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 16: venezuela and oil to flow back to China.

1393
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 15: But we're going to get something for it. There's something's

1394
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 15: going to happen for it.

1395
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 16: So again it gets back to the leverage and the

1396
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 16: leverage that he creates and gets it very clearly. Anybody

1397
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 16: can see it. This is what's going on.

1398
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 2: I've got more with Major Mike Lyons coming up in

1399
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 2: just a little bit, because there's a lot of moving

1400
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 2: parts regarding this takedown in Madureau and what it means

1401
01:26:57,360 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 2: the world over.

1402
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 3: Keep it here on, Tony Katz. This is Tony Kats today.

1403
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would be surprised that London and

1404
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 2: the Mayor Sadiq Khan, in his infinite bigotry, would have

1405
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 2: issues with Israel. And you're like, Tony, how did this

1406
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 2: become an Israel conversation? It wasn't because I just decided

1407
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 2: to bring it up. It's because of something that happened

1408
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 2: over New Year's When you take a look at the

1409
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 2: New Year's celebration that they had in London.

1410
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 3: Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, good to be with you.

1411
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 7: Right.

1412
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 2: They got whether they call the Millennium Wheel that they've

1413
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 2: got going on there, and they put there on the

1414
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 2: wheel all the flags of all the nations, they're all there.

1415
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: You you look, there's a Palaestindian flag. There's a Palestinian flag.

1416
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 2: Don't ask me, it's not even a place. But there's

1417
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 2: an American.

1418
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 3: Flag, and there's this, that and the other.

1419
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,719
Speaker 2: Oh look, there's the Israeli flag right under the flag

1420
01:27:54,760 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 2: of Japan. Except it's not the Israeli flag. They had

1421
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 2: a flag that was white and it had the two

1422
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 2: blue stripe, says the Israeli flag has at the top

1423
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 2: and the bottom, and then of course in the middle

1424
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 2: is the Star of David. The Gewish star. Star is missing.

1425
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 2: The star is missing. The Israeli flag is not the

1426
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 2: Israeli flag. The people of London, whoever put on this

1427
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 2: event for New Year's erase the Israeli flag will Maybe

1428
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 2: you just got to be impressed that they had themselves

1429
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 2: in a year celebration, because so many cities didn't for

1430
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 2: fear of Islamic terrorism, of violence as opposed to putting

1431
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 2: down the Islamists with such massive force that they simply scream,

1432
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 2: please stop hurting us. I'd rather just be left alone.

1433
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 3: I'd rather than do none of this.

1434
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 2: But they engage in violence everywhere they are, so they

1435
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 2: have to be stopped. It's just reality. I don't want

1436
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 2: to listen, like you don't want to listen to these

1437
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 2: people make the claim of oh, you're just an Islama

1438
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:03,759
Speaker 2: phul oh, why don't they just shut up? A fear

1439
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 2: of Islam, a fear of terrorism, a fear of Islamic terrorists. Absolutely,

1440
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 2: except I don't think it should be met with fear

1441
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 2: and cowering. I think it should be met with such

1442
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 2: overwhelming force that people wonder.

1443
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 3: What's gonna happen next.

1444
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 2: If anybody has to be afraid, I want it to

1445
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 2: be Islamist now. I would rather that everybody left everybody

1446
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 2: else alone. But Islamists don't do that. They don't do it,

1447
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 2: and so in some cities around the world they don't

1448
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 2: even have the celebration, but in London they just is

1449
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 2: erased the Israeli flag.

1450
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 3: You understand the levels of bigotry.

1451
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,640
Speaker 2: Here, the levels of hate here, the levels of stupidity

1452
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 2: and ignorance and arrogance. And this is all because of

1453
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 2: King Charles, because he won't say stop it.

1454
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 3: Keir Starmer is a damn fool.

1455
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,720
Speaker 2: He's an ignorant man, he is an oath he is

1456
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 2: a buffoon, and he's going to lead the UK into ruin.

1457
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 2: King Charles, all the same things said about him, except

1458
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 2: he didn't know how to handle Prince Andrew or former

1459
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 2: Prince Andrew whatever's title is now, won't stand up for

1460
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 2: the nation.

1461
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 3: So why it's all up to William.

1462
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 2: Prince William is King William is either going to save

1463
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 2: the monarchy and save the UK, save England for only

1464
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 2: just for the memory of his grandmother, or he's going

1465
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 2: to be the last King of England.

1466
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:29,679
Speaker 3: That is it.

1467
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 2: There is no other conversation, and he has to start

1468
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 2: applying pressure to these elected officials. Who the hell are you?

1469
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 2: We don't act with this level of bigotry here. We

1470
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 2: support the UK first, and we recognize that Israel is

1471
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 2: a nation and Palestine isn't just the opposite of what

1472
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 2: the despicable Parliament did.

1473
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 3: He's got to go on the record because if he's

1474
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 3: not willing.

1475
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,640
Speaker 2: To, well, then I guess he agrees with them, and

1476
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 2: that means the end of the royal line and he

1477
01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: will be the last to sit on the throne. And

1478
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:03,679
Speaker 2: if that's what he wants, that's what he gets. If

1479
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 2: that's what the future king wants. He wants it to end,

1480
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 2: and he wants his children not to have this, okay,

1481
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 2: but as Versusity Khan, the mayor, and as for London,

1482
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:18,840
Speaker 2: as for the UK, they know their biggest My god,

1483
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:20,599
Speaker 2: I don't mean I'm not even so sure.

1484
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 3: They can come. And I know you agree with that.

1485
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 3: Keep it here. This is Tony Kats today.

1486
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that the

1487
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 2: taking of Maduro was about the oil. I don't know

1488
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 2: why that's so frightening to people or angering to people. Well,

1489
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 2: it's not angering to people. It is angering to children

1490
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 2: who parade on the leftist side.

1491
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 3: Tony Kats, Tony Katz today. Good to be here, Good

1492
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 3: to be with you. Mike Lions joins us right now.

1493
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 2: Major Mike Lyons, retired United States Army military analysts, and

1494
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 2: we've been having this conversation about the capture of Maduro,

1495
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 2: and certainly the conversation that this is about oil is

1496
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 2: a huge part of the story, just not how the

1497
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 2: political left is engaged in that story because they want

1498
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 2: to go out there and engage protests and no war

1499
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 2: for oil, because they're never so happy as when they're protesting,

1500
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,600
Speaker 2: because that's the only place where they feel like, I

1501
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,600
Speaker 2: don't know, they have some purpose or some usefulness.

1502
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 3: But I'll leave my politics aside just for a moment.

1503
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 2: I want to get before we get into the oil conversation,

1504
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:27,839
Speaker 2: back to something you said about the defense systems, because

1505
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 2: this taking of Maduro has now shown that you have

1506
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 2: thirty two dead Cubans, which means Cuba was providing protection

1507
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 2: for Maduro, which is a very strange thing to hear.

1508
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 2: Why would anybody think that the Cubans could actually do this?

1509
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 2: And when you see how easily we were able to

1510
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 2: get Blackhawks in and out, I believe it was black

1511
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:52,679
Speaker 2: Hawk helicopters, the SU three hundred, the SUE four hundred,

1512
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 2: This missile defense system that's supposed to be from the

1513
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:59,720
Speaker 2: Russians be able to take down patriots and take down

1514
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 2: the thirty five Strike fighter from the US.

1515
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be the F thirty five Killer.

1516
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 2: Turkey, which was instrumental in creating the F thirty five,

1517
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,720
Speaker 2: was actually a purchaser of the SGU four hundred. I mean,

1518
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:15,680
Speaker 2: it was infuriated the United States at the time. And

1519
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 2: now we're saying that the Russian missile defense system that

1520
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 2: the Turks purchased and was supposed to be able to

1521
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 2: take out the F thirty five can't detect and take

1522
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 2: down a helicopter. I mean, that's that is one hell

1523
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:33,960
Speaker 2: of an exposing and talk about weakening the Russians to

1524
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:34,559
Speaker 2: what extent?

1525
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 3: Is that accurate?

1526
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:37,599
Speaker 15: No, it's one hundred percent accurate.

1527
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 16: And it's not only they can't take them out from

1528
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,680
Speaker 16: the strategic level with that with that system, but they

1529
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 16: couldn't even take it out from the tactical level. There

1530
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:48,799
Speaker 16: was no air defense systems that were around that fortress.

1531
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 16: For example, I mean Blackhawk down was taken down by

1532
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 16: you know, a very low grade system, you know, handheld

1533
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:58,639
Speaker 16: a system that was able to hit the jail rod

1534
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 16: of a helicopter that create chaos for the United States.

1535
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,000
Speaker 16: The same thing could have happened here in SA seven

1536
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 16: or something like that is what it was, or an

1537
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,639
Speaker 16: RPG I guess is what what took that down.

1538
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:08,799
Speaker 15: But they didn't even have that.

1539
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,959
Speaker 16: You know, we were able to get helicopters literally inside

1540
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 16: the wire into the fortress. And then you know, got

1541
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 16: asked the question about you know, if if Venezuela thinks

1542
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:21,679
Speaker 16: that were they're being attacked, you know, they they have targets,

1543
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 16: they could they could have hit the Navy that was offshore,

1544
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 16: like what would have happened then once they we attacked

1545
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 16: multiple military sites there. It just again goes to show

1546
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 16: they didn't scramble jets, they didn't do anything. They didn't

1547
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,840
Speaker 16: response to this whatsoever. Maybe they thought they were gonna

1548
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 16: have to respond asymmetrically if troops are going to ever

1549
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 16: show up, but there was again no response was a

1550
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 16: really interesting sign. Maybe maybe they were paid off, but

1551
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:46,640
Speaker 16: they also showed no capability.

1552
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 2: Is it your contention as you take a look at

1553
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 2: the Venezuela military, which is not small by any any

1554
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:59,919
Speaker 2: any stretch. Under the the vice president, who is a

1555
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 2: zero loyalist del Rodriguez. The claim now is that she

1556
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 2: wants to desperately work with the United States. But this

1557
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 2: is a technocrat, This is somebody in the Maduro mold,

1558
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 2: and certainly is not somebody who would still seem as legitimate,

1559
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,639
Speaker 2: would not be seen as legitimate by the Venezuelan people

1560
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 2: considering two stolen elections, right, does the Venezuelan military have

1561
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 2: any capability to respond? Is it even possible that they

1562
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 2: would try to respond against our fifteen eleven warships in

1563
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 2: the Caribbean, fifteen thousand troops.

1564
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 15: There no, they couldn't.

1565
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 16: The only way they could is if we had made

1566
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,800
Speaker 16: the mistake by doing the D Day type invasion that

1567
01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 16: I was talking about before, and we put twenty thousand

1568
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 16: troops there and we actually did an invasion, and then

1569
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 16: you create the asymmetrical warfare where they would have an

1570
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,639
Speaker 16: advantage over And now we have a rock that's your

1571
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 16: rock analogy, But everyone projecting it right now is way

1572
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,599
Speaker 16: off base because it wasn't an invasion and it wasn't

1573
01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:55,800
Speaker 16: regime change. We took the leader out and they've got

1574
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 16: the same a person that's running their country. We didn't

1575
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 16: take out the henchmen. You saw that comment that they

1576
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 16: wanted to know why we didn't take more people out.

1577
01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 16: We took the right guy out that that was indicted

1578
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,799
Speaker 16: by US Corte law and brought him to justice. So again,

1579
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:14,439
Speaker 16: without having troops on the ground there, we would be

1580
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 16: it would be a very bad move for us to

1581
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 16: anoun and invade Venezuela and bring ourselves into this close

1582
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 16: battle where that then then perhaps they would have some

1583
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 16: way to combat against them.

1584
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 3: I have that clip if you want to hear it.

1585
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 3: I have Margaret.

1586
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 2: Brennan on cn NON CNN on CBS. Yeah, with one

1587
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 2: of the more peculiar arguments here it is. This is her,

1588
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 2: She's speaking to the Secretary of State Marco Rubio and

1589
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 2: trying to make the argument of well, you had Maduro

1590
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,719
Speaker 2: on the most wanted list, right, Biden and Harris offering

1591
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 2: up twenty five million dollars, but you had all these

1592
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 2: other people, why didn't you take them as well? This

1593
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 2: is Brennan asking the question, and then Rubio answering, there

1594
01:36:58,240 --> 01:36:58,719
Speaker 2: is why.

1595
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 9: The Trump administration just decided to leave it intact and

1596
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:06,280
Speaker 9: only arrest Nicholas Maduro and his wife. The person who

1597
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 9: controls the police, the chief thug, dis Cabello. He's the

1598
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 9: Interior minister. He's been indicted by the United States. He

1599
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 9: was in that indictment the administration released. He's a narco terrorist.

1600
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:20,559
Speaker 9: There's a twenty five million dollar price on his head.

1601
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 9: He's still in place. The Defense minister, who has deep

1602
01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 9: ties to Russia, fifteen million dollar price on his head,

1603
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:31,559
Speaker 9: he is still in place. I'm confused. Are they still

1604
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 9: wanted by the United States? Why didn't you arrest them?

1605
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:38,480
Speaker 9: If you are taking out the narco terrorist regime.

1606
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:41,639
Speaker 7: You're confused. I don't know why that's confusing.

1607
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 3: They're still in, Um, we're not.

1608
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 7: Going to go in and they wrap up.

1609
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:46,800
Speaker 14: You're going to but yeah, but you can't go You're

1610
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 14: going to go in and suck up five people. They're

1611
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 14: already complaining about this one operation. Imagine the howls we

1612
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 14: would have from everybody else that we actually had to

1613
01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 14: go and stay there four days to capture four other people.

1614
01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 7: We got the top priority.

1615
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 14: The number one person on the list was the guy

1616
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,120
Speaker 14: who claimed to be the president of the country that

1617
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 14: he was not, and he was arrested along with.

1618
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:07,639
Speaker 7: His wife, who was also indicted.

1619
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 14: And that was a pretty sophisticated and frankly complicated operation.

1620
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 14: It is not easy to land helicopters in the middle

1621
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:16,679
Speaker 14: of the largest military base in the country. The guy

1622
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 14: lived on a military base, land within three minutes, kick

1623
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 14: down his door, grab him, put him in handcuffs, read

1624
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 14: him his rights, put him in a helicopter, and leave

1625
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:27,719
Speaker 14: the country without losing any American or any American assets.

1626
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 7: That's not an easy mission.

1627
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:30,559
Speaker 14: And you're asking me why didn't we do that in

1628
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 14: five other places at the same time.

1629
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 7: I mean, that's absurd.

1630
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 3: You forget how good he is. Yeah, and he is

1631
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:40,280
Speaker 3: very very good.

1632
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 2: There is Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, talking to

1633
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 2: major Mike clients, also very good, retired the United States

1634
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 2: Army military analyst. The oil.

1635
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,320
Speaker 3: And you see the screaming of no war for oil.

1636
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 2: This isn't about whether or not the US is going

1637
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:58,439
Speaker 2: to profit off the oil, which knowing President Trump, of.

1638
01:38:58,400 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 3: Course we will.

1639
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 2: This is about, you know, to this is the economist

1640
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 2: Frederick Bastiat, the scene and the unseen. It's that the

1641
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,759
Speaker 2: oil is not going to end up in the hands

1642
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 2: of the Russians or the Chinese. Right you explain that

1643
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 2: it's that's geopolitical, that military strategic importance of keeping the

1644
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:22,799
Speaker 2: oil away from them as a pretext to this capture.

1645
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's that simple. And how people don't think you

1646
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:27,640
Speaker 15: know that?

1647
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,640
Speaker 16: I guess the MAGA crowd is saying, you know, for

1648
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 16: some reason, the America First doesn't stop at the end

1649
01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 16: of our shorelines and and stop at the oceans. America

1650
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 16: first means we act in the best interests of our country,

1651
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 16: and it's not in our interests of our country to

1652
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 16: have Russia, China and Iran have access to three hundred

1653
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 16: billion barrels of reserve crude oil. It's just not it's

1654
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 16: it's in our best interest to have control over that.

1655
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 16: So and if you don't see that, I don't know

1656
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:57,759
Speaker 16: what to tell you. So that's part of this process.

1657
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 16: And sure we're not stealing it. We're not going to

1658
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 16: make Venezuela destitute over it. It's going to get more shared.

1659
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,680
Speaker 16: It's going to be used as leverage to fix situations

1660
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:10,759
Speaker 16: like in Cuba. It's going to make Mexico pay attention.

1661
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:12,960
Speaker 16: Everyone is now, I guess I go back to Canada.

1662
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 16: Canada thought that we're going to do a deal with

1663
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 16: Trump on oil. Those days are over now because Venezuela

1664
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,840
Speaker 16: pumps the same kind of oil that the Canada does,

1665
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:22,320
Speaker 16: and if we decide to build an infrastructure down there,

1666
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 16: then we don't necessarily need Canadian crude oil. Now they'll

1667
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 16: maybe do a deal with China then who knows. But

1668
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 16: but again, the leverage that's been gained by this, but

1669
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:33,240
Speaker 16: oil energy has always been a strategic atchet in our lifetimes, Tony,

1670
01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:35,760
Speaker 16: in our lifetimes, it will always be.

1671
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 15: As much as.

1672
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 16: Everybody wants to go green and go to other locations,

1673
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:44,439
Speaker 16: not happening. It's we're going to stay addicted to this

1674
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 16: product for a very long time as a society, whether

1675
01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 16: we like it or not.

1676
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:53,040
Speaker 2: We could say addicted, and people can downplay it all

1677
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 2: they want. We live in the real world, and oil

1678
01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 2: runs of the real world. And the real world also

1679
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 2: involves keeping others at pay.

1680
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 3: And that's why this oil.

1681
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:05,519
Speaker 2: Conversation, as you mentioned, it goes back to this Monroe

1682
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 2: doctrine conversation. And one of the things this shows is

1683
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 2: and it exposes, is the capability of America's military might

1684
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:18,600
Speaker 2: as opposed to the Barack Obama years, as opposed to

1685
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 2: the Joe Biden years, although he at least had some moves,

1686
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 2: there has been a real desire not to show our

1687
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 2: strength and our capability. Now I'm not a guy who

1688
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 2: is a fan of military parades, but I am absolutely

1689
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 2: a fan of being able to utilize our skill set

1690
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:36,200
Speaker 2: in a way that makes the world say, oh, dang,

1691
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 2: I didn't know they could do that.

1692
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 3: So now that the world knows we.

1693
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 2: Can do that twice twice, we've been able to do

1694
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:49,759
Speaker 2: this in less than a year. Is there a change

1695
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:56,559
Speaker 2: that you see to strategy globally? We have discussed whether

1696
01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 2: or not the threat is coming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine,

1697
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 2: the conversations in the Middle East, in Iran, or is

1698
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 2: the threat uh China and only China and that should

1699
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 2: be our only focus. Has this been able to the

1700
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 2: utilization of this skill set of ours? Has this been

1701
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:20,599
Speaker 2: able to help the Trump administration decide here's where our

1702
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 2: focus has to be in Wine.

1703
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 15: I think I think it's always good.

1704
01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 16: We're projecting power and creating that the turns that we've

1705
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 16: long lost under. We had nothing under the Biden administration,

1706
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 16: and Obama picked and choot, you know, chose when when

1707
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 16: he decided to flex his muscle there. I think that

1708
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:42,559
Speaker 16: the first Trump administration was just so scattered that they

1709
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 16: weren't really sure. And him taking the four years off

1710
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:47,760
Speaker 16: and assembling on the team he has has put put

1711
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 16: us in place now for you know, real missions. But

1712
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 16: I'll bring up the thing about partners, because now it's

1713
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 16: going to be a good time to be a.

1714
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:57,880
Speaker 15: Partner of us. And and what you know, watching you

1715
01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 15: know the.

1716
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 16: Europeans, you know, the Germans and the French, thinking that

1717
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 16: they're going to all of a sudden get together and

1718
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 16: stop the Russians. Everyone is delusional and they know it.

1719
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 16: And so so now it's going to be a good

1720
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,000
Speaker 16: time to be to be a good partner of the

1721
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 16: United States. And imagine if we turn a country like

1722
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 16: Venezuela and make that a good partner. I mean, obviously

1723
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 16: we're going to go after you know, some of the

1724
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,799
Speaker 16: bad people there look to hold an election at some point.

1725
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:26,760
Speaker 16: But this Trump administration has the real possibility of projecting

1726
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 16: power in such a way that gets democracy. I've always

1727
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 16: felt that the United States when we did a rock

1728
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 16: we try to import democracy and we should have imported

1729
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:41,679
Speaker 16: capitalism and that and that if we'd done that then

1730
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,040
Speaker 16: then we might not have seen the insurgy that took place. Well,

1731
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:47,439
Speaker 16: that's going to happen here. We're going to likely improve

1732
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 16: the economic value of Venezuela first, We're going to get

1733
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 16: that up and running, and then we'll bring democracy second.

1734
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 16: I think that's the way to go here. And when

1735
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 16: you have the military that we have to do it

1736
01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:59,360
Speaker 16: now projects the power that gives you the right to

1737
01:43:59,400 --> 01:43:59,680
Speaker 16: do it in that.

1738
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:02,839
Speaker 2: Direct Before I let you go, Major Mike Lyons, retired

1739
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:07,719
Speaker 2: United States Army military analyst, in this conversation of oil

1740
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 2: and in this conversation of who has really got to

1741
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 2: rethink now they're positioning you have to bring up the Iranians,

1742
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 2: where the Iotola is losing control. There are massive protests

1743
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 2: going on in Iran that the media is not covering.

1744
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 2: Iran has executor over nineteen hundred people in twenty twenty

1745
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:29,360
Speaker 2: five alone that has been up. The sanctions are having

1746
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 2: a real effect and people have had enough. They are

1747
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:35,799
Speaker 2: fighting back. And Venezuela was a place where the Iotola

1748
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:37,960
Speaker 2: man thought he could have escaped to the word on

1749
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 2: the street is that he's trying to talk to Moscow

1750
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 2: about being able to escape there, as if somehow Moscow

1751
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 2: would actually want him. But the story here is with

1752
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:49,759
Speaker 2: this movement, with this control of oil, it also allows

1753
01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 2: for a flood of oil, further decreasing the purchasing power

1754
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 2: and capabilities of the Russians and the Iranians. So if

1755
01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:01,520
Speaker 2: the Iatola is watching this, what he is that strategic

1756
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 2: thinking in Iran right now?

1757
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 16: Yeah, I've seen it reports about him looking to go

1758
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:11,799
Speaker 16: to Moscow. This again unthinkable on some level. Iran greatest

1759
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:13,639
Speaker 16: foreign policy failure our country post.

1760
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 15: World War Two.

1761
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:16,840
Speaker 16: We've talked about that before, and the fact that he's

1762
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:19,519
Speaker 16: just going to tap out just is incredible to me.

1763
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:22,879
Speaker 16: That the Republican guards and the security forces are collapsing

1764
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 16: around him as well, and I guess at some point

1765
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 16: human nature takes over and survivability comes to the forefront,

1766
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 16: and people look at that. First, we have to watch

1767
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 16: Iran see what happens, because again, that's another tremendously resourceful,

1768
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:43,720
Speaker 16: intelligent country underneath this cloud of Islam that it's not

1769
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:47,760
Speaker 16: been allowed to project positively in the international community. I get,

1770
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 16: you know, Obama tried to get them part of the

1771
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 16: international community, but giving them four billion dollars of cash,

1772
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 16: you know, all I did was fund Hamas and fund

1773
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 16: terrorist organizations. If you could turn if you could turn

1774
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 16: Iran away from that access of China, Russia in North Korea,

1775
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 16: that would be nothing short than spectacular and maybe three

1776
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,639
Speaker 16: years from now, that's what we're talking about. But Iran,

1777
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,720
Speaker 16: there's a tipping point taking place in Iran right now.

1778
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:15,759
Speaker 16: We've also put C seventeens in London and in England.

1779
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 16: It looks like that the Trump administration is saying that

1780
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 16: if you if you harm those protesters, we're going to

1781
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 16: do something. And we've got that capability now, so we'll

1782
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:24,040
Speaker 16: see what happens.

1783
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 2: Major Mike Lyons retired United States Army military analyst on

1784
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:29,559
Speaker 2: the Twitter X m Aj.

1785
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:30,479
Speaker 3: Mike Lyons.

1786
01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 2: Lyons, be sure to follow him there. I appreciate you

1787
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 2: taking the time to be with us, and more we

1788
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 2: get to I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Kats today.

1789
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:43,160
Speaker 2: So Maduro is on trial in the United States. Tim

1790
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 2: Walls is dropping out of the governor's race in Minnesota.

1791
01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 2: My gosh, things are moving and happening. And both of

1792
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 2: these things are weirdly connected because it's a conversation of

1793
01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 2: national security. Because if we're gonna say, look at what

1794
01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 2: Samali nationals did, although more people, just Somali nationals are

1795
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,640
Speaker 2: engaged in the fraudum in Minneapolis.

1796
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 3: Who are we letting into the country.

1797
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 2: If we're gonna talk about Maduro, you gotta talk about

1798
01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 2: about national security because oil is national security. Because our

1799
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 2: strength and the ability of the military to project that power.

1800
01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 2: I mean, this is huge stuff. Can the election, the

1801
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:25,679
Speaker 2: midterm elections be one on national security? Because the original

1802
01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:27,840
Speaker 2: thought would be absolutely not. This is an economic election.

1803
01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 2: Don't be ridiculous, and I still think it is. But

1804
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,080
Speaker 2: what if this national security plays a part. I am

1805
