Between Brandon and 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: doctor doctor Horn. 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: Of course, you are will at the same time, you're 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: going to be as expousing, espousing lots of knowledge yourself, 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: you know, don't play yourself cheap there, bruh. Hey, But look, 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna start on a good note, and that is 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: that the Commanders won the game twenty four to seventeen. 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 2: You know, I just think that that's, you know, something 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: that worth for plotting man, the way to start the morning. 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: What do you think I guess for some fans that 29 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: are plauting because the season is over for the Commanders 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: and the season is just starting for this for Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: pardon me, the Eagles because they're going now. They play 32 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: this weekend. They played the Niners this weekend. So yeah, 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna take place. But Kevin, you know today's 34 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Black Monday. 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: This is right, right, Yeah, yeah, a lot of. 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: This several yeah, several coaches and management heads of these 37 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: NFL teams are gonna find out they're fired. Atlanta's already dumped. 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: Raheem Morris, their head coach after three seasons. Say that 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: brother's out of the door already. So he's number one 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: on he was Black Sunday for him. They didn't even 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: wait till the close of the season, because usually they 42 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: just a formality, they wait till the seasons over. But 43 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: let me just share with the family some of the 44 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: cities the teams that are on the bubble, they might 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: lose their coaches. Cleveland, Miami, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Arizona, Baltimore, 46 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: and the Jets. So all those head coaches of those 47 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: teams were probably showing the door sometime today. But what 48 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: else is going on? 49 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: Well, in regard to that, I'm a little confused about 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: the fact that the Commanders won the game and yet 51 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: lost their position as far as the pick goes. They 52 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 2: were at first gonna get the number five overall pick, 53 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: and now they've moved down to number seven. And so 54 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: what when you pick number seven? You try harder. 55 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: How does that work? 56 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: Well, let me put it in this, because you look 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: at the Commanders, Let's let's look at the Giants, who 58 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: were projected to be number one get the first pick, 59 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: which is what's the the blue chip player? And that 60 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: was and I think the consensuscy is going to be 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback out of Indiana who won the Mentoza, who 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: won the Heisman Trophy. But they beat the Cowboys, they 63 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: be the donas Cowboys, so they dropped down to copy 64 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: number two. 65 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: So he but let me ask you this. Then they okay, 66 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: so the Giants won the game, and that gave them 67 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: the number one pick. 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: No, they they were they were had they had the 69 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: worst record. It goes by the you're losing record, but 70 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: team has the losing record gets you know, it's above, 71 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: so it goes by that. So they had the worst 72 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: record in the league. 73 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: It's a pity pick. Then, yeah, the league says you 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: need some help. Obviously you need some help. Oh okay, 75 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: so the Commanders kind of wanted to lose yesterday. 76 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: It would have well and you know, and well it's 77 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: still early because they can still trade up for that 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: as well too, because you know, there's a lot of 79 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: a lot of positions that people want, the teams want. 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: They're looking out for what's best for the team. Some 81 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: will take the best player that's on the board and 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: then they hopefully they can use him as a trading 83 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: chip and move up. And you know, it's because they 84 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: already have a great quarterback. So they'll pick a quarterback. 85 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: They're not going to you know, stash him. They can 86 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: use them to trading Because many of these teams now 87 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: need to need quarterbacks. That's a key slot. This is 88 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: available this particular season. 89 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right then, well, you know, it's the 90 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the United States of 91 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: America and there's a new coin being designed to circulate 92 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: and it should begin sometime today with the face of 93 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 2: none other than President Donald J. 94 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 3: Trump. 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: And uh, you know, the US meant it is considering 96 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: a one door one dollar coin, which was a shunned 97 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 2: as a symbol of monarchy, but somehow the persuasion of 98 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: the president got the meant to desire to put the 99 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 2: face of Donald Trump on the one dollar coin. Would 100 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: you if I gave you ten of those one dollar coins, 101 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 2: which you spend them, would you keep them? 102 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't keep them. I wouldn't toss them, but I'd 103 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: spend them, write something beneficial, circulate them. Right, it's not 104 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: a souvenir. It's pretty that it wouldn't be a souvenir 105 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: for me. At least it's one dollar. Yeah, it's a dollar, 106 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: that's for sure. 107 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: It is. 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: You know, but how many people keep those gold coins, 109 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: you know, those gold one dollar coins. 110 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, Hey, I know folks who save two dollar 111 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: bills out a circulation real soon. 112 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, I remember I used to do that 113 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you know, that was 114 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: a need to circulate that, and that's the same thing, 115 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: you know. So the big news, though, Karl and I 116 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: know we're going to leave that to Brandon to analyze 117 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: all of it, is this strike over the weekend in Venezuela, 118 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 2: and it's called an incursion into Venezuela. It was audacious 119 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: and a surprising move for the president who campaigned against 120 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: American intervention. This it shakes his fist at America. First, 121 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on that? 122 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: Am of those that Donald Trump spent the night, you know, 123 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: texting on his social media eighty times man with in 124 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: less than two hours. You know, it's like to post 125 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: something eighty times within two hours, most people come to 126 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: two or three. He's the because he's upset because some 127 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: of the far right wing world leaders, despite him claiming 128 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: it was fake news, will never and he says they'll 129 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: never come the truth. That's one of the things he's said. 130 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: They were condemn him for his actions, and the UN 131 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: Security Council is going to discuss it this morning. At 132 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: the same time, Mantua's being a rain crossed down in 133 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: Lower Manhattan across of the U N on the east 134 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: side of Manhattan. They're gonna be discussing what to do 135 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: with this because this they don't know what this will 136 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: turn into. This will stop Donald Trump, will will he 137 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: go after it's threatening Columbia, threatening Greenland, and he's you know, 138 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: he's threatened Cuba. Well, uh, Marco Rubio is threatening Cuba. 139 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. You know, when the UN 140 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: whether they have any teeth or not, there's probably a 141 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: question for Brandon or for doctor doctor Horn, if you know, 142 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: let's just pass a resolution and condemn it. 143 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: And well, as I was watching it, as I was 144 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: watching the press conference, it was amazing to me how 145 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: President Trump kept calling on Rubio by his first name, 146 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: and well, well, we're gonna let Marco answer this, Marco, 147 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: what do you think?

You're right about it. 173 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit more than one percent 174 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: that are Bomba say it's like ten percent of the drugs, 175 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,479 Speaker 1: illegal drugs are coming to the country come from Venezuela. 176 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: Something like that. That was the number. I'm not quite 177 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: sure who the person who who said that. But other countries, 178 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: Colombia for example, exports more drugs in this country than Venezuela. 179 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: So that's the question. But maybe Brandon can help us 180 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: out with it.

And even though Maduro is a 220 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 4: you know, dictator and a terrible one at that, and 221 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 4: many I have seen the dictator, that it wasn't including 222 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: what's happening in our country, the United States. You you know, 223 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 4: it's against to even the policies, like you said, as 224 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: the international courts uh to to invade the nation and 225 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 4: kidnap the leader. Although we've done you know this before 226 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 4: if you remember back in the day with Panama, but 227 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 4: in this particular situation, it is it is Trump doing it. 228 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 4: And I have to say that, you know, there have 229 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 4: been experts who have talked about this over and over again, 230 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 4: and Trump has done this over and over again. And 231 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: I don't know if people, if you, if you had 232 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 4: anybody in your family, it's very elderly has gone through 233 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 4: any type of mental disorders. They've gotten older. Trump does 234 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: does something what's called sundowning, where he just kind of 235 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 4: you know, he he just goes manic at the end 236 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 4: of the evening and he does these you know, ah 237 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 4: true social flourishes, just throwing out you know, at one 238 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: point he did like one hundred or two hundred posts, 239 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: you know, just going manic. And he looks like he's 240 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: doing this more and more. And I why I do 241 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 4: think that he's halfway cognizant. I also believe that they're 242 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 4: covering up for something, which makes it even more despicable 243 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: because if he's, as an old term said, if he's 244 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 4: anywhere near off his rocker and making these decisions and 245 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 4: then standing up and asking other people to stand for them, 246 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: including Marco Rubio, and he's doing these things, he's not 247 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 4: Let's say that the ideals behind them, although even evil themselves, 248 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 4: may not be done by someone of sound mind and 249 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 4: someone knows this. 250 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Kevin, Okay, Brandon, Kevin here, I want to 251 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: ask you real quickly before we go to promotional considerations, 252 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: and that is when the president was as who's going 253 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: to run Venezuela. That's when he said the people behind me? 254 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: And that's when Marco Rubio stood up and began to 255 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 2: speak about, you know, the oil companies going to Venezuela, 256 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: et cetera. Is Marco Rubio going to be running Venezuela 257 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: as well as the Department of State. 258 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: I don't know. I neither do you and needed you know, 259 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 4: I mean, this is what I'm saying. This is what 260 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 4: makes it despicable. At least they the verse first reports 261 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 4: were saying that forty people are dead. You know, this 262 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 4: was a deadly attack. This isn't something where they just 263 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 4: you know, blew up some penguins somewhere. So you know, 264 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 4: I don't it's it's confused, it's you know, there is 265 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 4: some something, like I said, rooted in the oil companies 266 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: Exon and them where they're earlier. They want their infrastructure 267 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 4: back that they built to leave the nation drive its 268 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 4: own resources. They want the power that they had back. 269 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: At the same time, you noticed that he he he, 270 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 4: he's a Brown and Black countries again, Nigeria one of 271 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 4: the greatest oil holders in the world. As well, his 272 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 4: his attack on him talking about he's going for, you know, 273 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 4: to support the Christians. That kind of sounds and rings 274 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 4: out more Hitlarian than this particular situation. Hitler in what 275 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 4: he did in Austria, going for the the cultural chairmans 276 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 4: to you know, to protect them from being surrounded by 277 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 4: evil forces in Austria. Uh As Trump says he's going 278 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: to protect the Christians in Nigeria, but it's all about 279 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: power and oil and really attack on more melanivy people. 280 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: All right, hold up the right, dare brand.

Do you think this is a 286 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: move that we see in the foot now for twenty 287 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight, for the next election, that Marco Rubio stepped 288 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: up and you know bypassed the Vans.

At twenty one minutes after 295 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: the top there with our guest, the political blog of Brandon. 296 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: Of course, the big news of the day what happened 297 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: in Venezuela over the weekend. We woke to find out 298 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump had went in and snatched Nicholas Maduro, 299 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: he was in bed with his wife and snatched both 300 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: of them. They're now at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, 301 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: and later this morning they're gonna travels to Lower Manhattan 302 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: to be arraigned. And it's very interesting, as I mentioned 303 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: earlier in a conversation with Kevin. At the same time, 304 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: the United Nations is going to discuss what happened, or 305 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: what should they what role they're going to play in 306 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: all of this, or they're just gonna condemn it and 307 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: just issue a resolution a lot. But that's that's later on. 308 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: But my question to Brandon before we left the break, 309 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: this this move seems to elevate Marco Rubio coming up 310 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: for the next presidential election because, uh, Vice President Fans 311 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: has been being sort of silent. Are they trying to 312 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: put push it Advans to the side? How do you 313 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: how do you read what went on there? 314 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 4: I think that Mark Rubio has brown skin and he's 315 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 4: from Cuba, and uh, that's that's what they're doing. I 316 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 4: don't think that. I don't think that. I mean, I 317 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 4: don't know. Uh, I don't think anyone knows. Look, the 318 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 4: President has boasted. Trump has boasted that he has had 319 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 4: he's eight another one of third of three cognitive tests. 320 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 4: Think about that, you know he's and he had a 321 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 4: CT scan and then they're they're not expanding on any 322 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 4: of that. What What in the heck is going on 323 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 4: where they keep testing his cognition? What is happening and 324 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 4: he's trying to treat it as if it's something that's 325 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 4: you know, I'm very perfect. I get these great scores. 326 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 4: I'm better than Joe Biden. I'm better. But why would 327 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 4: you have to test somebody their cognition if they if 328 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: their cognition wasn't questioned. And I'm saying that in the 329 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 4: mixes while you're asking very perfectly same questions, I'm saying 330 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 4: that the situation itself may not be seen and that 331 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 4: is the real danger here. That the emperor has no 332 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 4: clothes and ain't nobody saying nothing, and we're sitting up 333 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: here and like I said, people's lives are then, yes, 334 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: of course it's absolutely clear that the oil companies want 335 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 4: this to go on. But remember, you know we've had that. 336 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 4: This is not the Monroe doctrine, as everybody saying, and 337 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 4: a Monroe doctrine was really about the United States flexing 338 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 4: and telling Europe to get up out of our hemisphere, 339 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 4: this part of the world. But be that as it may. 340 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 4: We have, as you call them, incursions in real politics, 341 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 4: especially with the Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union was 342 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 4: alive and well, all throughout Latin America. I mean, from 343 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 4: Cuba nineteen fifty two, Guatemala fifty four, El Salvador nineteen eighty, 344 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 4: Ondura two thousand and nine, Nicaragua the eighties, Panama eighty nine, 345 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 4: of course, Haiti, the entire history of Haiti, Peru sixty 346 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 4: two and seventy five, Dominican Republic in nineteen sixty five, Venezuela. 347 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: We've been down this road before, since two thousand and 348 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: two at this particular issue, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil sixty four. 349 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 4: I mean, we've we've forced or supported regime change and 350 00:19:54,440 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 4: chaos down there. Since our are the the Great White 351 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 4: Navy or Great White Way. I believe it was that Roosevelt, 352 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 4: Teddy Roosevelt called it. So when you ask me these questions, 353 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 4: I do want to keep in people's mind that that 354 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 4: sanity may the levels of sanity, however low they may be, 355 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 4: may be playing a role in this as well. I 356 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 4: don't know if you heard that speech when he first 357 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: started talking. I mean, it's it sounded like someone was, 358 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 4: you know, putting a pencil on a cassette tape and 359 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 4: just slowing it down as he was trying to talk. 360 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 4: I mean, he was turning into more slurs than anything else. 361 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I mean, Jem, he had twenty five 362 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: of the top there. And I mentioned this before he speaks, 363 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: he reads, because that's what he was doing. He stayed 364 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: to the script, and he reads like someone who's English 365 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: is the second language. 366 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 6: You know. 367 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: He sort of counts his words as they tell us 368 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: in this business and the teacher how to read it 369 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: read a script for you know, whether for the news 370 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: or for a commercial. It counts his words, and it 371 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: doesn't flow then as the other people you and I 372 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: are speaking of. It just it just flows with him. 373 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, like you're not quite sure of 374 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: the word or how to pronounce the words. But I'm 375 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: not sure if that's part of the cognitive decline that 376 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: you're you're replying that's taking place after all these he's 377 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: going to be eighty years old. And one of the 378 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: things too, Brandon, should we should mention that he first 379 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: said he had an MRI then and later they said 380 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: it was a ct scan. I'm not sure. I'm not 381 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: a medical doctor. Maybe when when doctor uh boleskups, you 382 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: can explain what's the difference between that, because somehow now 383 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: it's a CT scan and not an MRI, And somehow 384 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: you just got to figure it's they're changing the script 385 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: now to fit whatever it is that he's saying it is. 386 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: He said, you're right. He keeps saying he's cognitive, he 387 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: is good, he's uh. But then if he does have 388 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: if he is impaired, who's calling the shots? Who's making 389 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: the decisions? It's Stephen Miller when Rubio and Advance wasn't 390 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: in the room. That's where I'm getting at Will who 391 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: else is calling the shots? And he's just handing in 392 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: the script and telling him what to. 393 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: Do about Pete and Hecks. You think he might be 394 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 2: calling some shots. The war secretary. 395 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: Could be Brandon. What are your thoughts, realized Brandon Kevin, 396 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sorry, it looks like that. Okay, we'll 397 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: call it. Let me let's see if we get Brandon back. 398 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: Twenty six minutes after they are found, he just joined 399 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: us a political blog of Brandon is with us and 400 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: they're discussing. Of course that the big news over the weekend, 401 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: UH with the arrest of Nicholas Maduro. Right now, he's 402 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: in a a mitropouts from the detention center in Brooklyn. 403 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: They're going to motivate him over to Lower Manhattan where 404 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: he's going to be a reign along with his wife. 405 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: By the way, because he's been charged, he was charged 406 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: several years ago. This is nothing new, these charges that 407 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: are against him being a drug lord, and they'll, I 408 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: guess they'll break it down and they'll read him all 409 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: the charges and he'll enter a plea. Okay, So so 410 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Kevin ask a question again, Brandon your question. 411 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 2: H Yeah, Brandon, we were talking about Pete Hesef, the 412 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 2: War secretary, and maybe he is now going to be 413 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 2: calling more shots as well, because when the President was 414 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 2: speaking in that conference, he kept referring back to Heckseev 415 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: and or Marco Rubio. What do you think of that? 416 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 4: I think you're seeing somebody who is a bit confused 417 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 4: and is reach is reaching for people who he's had 418 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 4: discussions with. You know, they of course, you know, they 419 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 4: go over the preps for these speeches and he's deferring 420 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 4: as most you know, presidents would do. They would they 421 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 4: would they would go to the Secretary of Defense, but 422 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 4: they also would go to the generals, which he actually 423 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 4: did that as well. I think it's a very dangerous time, 424 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 4: I really do. I mean, we're talking about a a 425 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 4: slow motion coup that is going on right in front 426 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 4: of us, and it's only going to get worse. I 427 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 4: follow some particular doctors who are talking about what they see. 428 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 4: I am not an expert in those areas, and so 429 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 4: they're talking about some front lobe problems, his speech problems, 430 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 4: but also his son doubting and what he does over 431 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 4: and over, him falling asleep over and over again in 432 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 4: these in these meetings and stuff. And I'm bringing all 433 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 4: this up because they actually talked about it, Kav. They 434 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 4: actually brought it up, and they're saying, well, he's not sleeping, 435 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 4: he's resting his eyes and doing this. And imagine sleeping 436 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 4: when you're doing something like this when this type of 437 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 4: thing is going by. Like I said, he threatened Nigeria. 438 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 4: He threatened the nation of Nigeria and the people of 439 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 4: Nigeria talking about that they basically can't protect their Christians 440 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 4: so to speak now mind you you know this person 441 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 4: that doesn't give two hoots about it, but he's trying 442 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 4: to act as if that's the reason why. And I 443 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 4: don't know if a lot of people know this, but 444 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 4: Nigeria has one of the largest armies. It has, I 445 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: think it has the largest army in Africa. And like 446 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 4: it or not, or like the leaders are not or 447 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 4: understand or engage with them or not, they represent a 448 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 4: stabilizing force in parts of Africa. And then here comes 449 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 4: here he comes and uh, you know. 450 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 7: Just set us up. 451 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 4: And remember he said he was going to be the 452 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 4: peace president. You remember that. Ye, he's going to be 453 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 4: he said, he's here. Well, well it's from last year. 454 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 4: At this time he has bombed Venezuela, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, 455 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 4: and Somalia. Now which one of them? How many of 456 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 4: those countries, how many of those countries have people with 457 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 4: low melanin counts that most you might you might say 458 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 4: Iran in Syria maybe, but these this is really about, 459 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 4: you know, control, but it's also about the humanization and 460 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 4: how easy it can happen in these parts of worlds. 461 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 4: And no, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Moduro 462 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 4: was a hero. He absolutely was a dictator and an authoritarian, 463 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 4: and he did some things that his people are claiming 464 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 4: that are horrible. 465 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: But right there, Brandon, I want to go back to 466 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: Nigeria in a moment, thirty minutes off the top of 467 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: our family just waking up.

Uh, it's going to path 483 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: towards coming to this country. For Africanas, White Africanis, you're 484 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: saying that they're being abused by black citizens of South Africa. 485 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: Why didn't he do the same for Nigeria thoughts. 486 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 4: Because it's about melanin count Look what we're experiencing right now, 487 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 4: even food. Donald Trump is the insecurity, the underbelly of 488 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 4: white supremacy, the idea of white prement. I've been saying 489 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 4: this since, I mean since almost the very first day 490 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: that you've had me on that we're going through a 491 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 4: slow motion civil war, and the moment that in some 492 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 4: parts of this nation, I mean some parts of this 493 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 4: nation where you're seeing a hint of parity in the 494 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 4: ability for people to vote and to affect what's happening 495 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 4: in their in their region. Their response to President Obama, 496 00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 4: a serious legitimate candidate is an n hinged person who 497 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 4: does not who represents crony hirism, people who aren't, who aren't, 498 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 4: who don't have the accreditation, who don't have uh, the abilities, 499 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 4: and and quite frankly, uh, I'm going to use an 500 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 4: old old term, aren't up to snuff. To hold the 501 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 4: positions that they have. I'll give to you Pete hegship 502 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 4: coming in and just you know, you know, kind of 503 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 4: ripping through uh much of our defense forces firing black people, 504 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 4: like like really focusing on black folks. With the general 505 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 4: that he fired. They had to, they had to, they 506 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 4: had to promote a general Blok. This brother was so 507 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 4: high up they had to promote a white man below him, 508 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 4: just so that white man could fill the position. You 509 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 4: see what I'm saying these things, these are not rational situations. 510 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 4: They're not rational decisions, decisions made out of out of 511 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 4: from hatred, from the humanization. And when you do that 512 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 4: and the list proplanation in the world, what you're going 513 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 4: to end up with is cracking the logic and cracking 514 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 4: decisions where people end up dead. And this is one 515 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 4: thing that we're not talking about enough. With Venezuela. That 516 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: was the first when that number I gave, forty was 517 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 4: the first number of people that came out of the attacks. 518 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 4: Some people would say, well, that's minimal considering what they did, 519 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 4: but you know what represented that attack in the first place. 520 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 4: And what is Trump talking about? Watch what happens in 521 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 4: the next two weeks and what he says, and how 522 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 4: long he speaks for and what his rambling speeches turn into, 523 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 4: because for all the things that are being said and 524 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 4: being done, it's almost horrific to look and say this 525 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 4: is our leadership when you have people who lives are 526 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 4: on the line. 527 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: Brandon Kame Jeffrey has disputed Rubio's claim and said that 528 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: basically this is an act of war. He's outsting Madeuro 529 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: while partnering the head of Honduras claiming it was drug trafficking. 530 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: What's the difference in the drunk trafficking then, I just. 531 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 4: They just uh, Trump just pardoned one of the biggest 532 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 4: traffickers in the history of the world and actually in 533 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 4: the United States, the former leader, former former UH president 534 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 4: of Anduras and UH Orlando Hernandez. Excuse me one, Orlando Hernandez. 535 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: And so you know, the the the it's not irony, 536 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 4: it's it's a despicable second handness where you look at 537 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 4: one person you're doing this and then and of course 538 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 4: the argument is made that you know, we had to 539 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 4: go on there because you know, he somehow gives the 540 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 4: dang about uh the drugs and whatnot and so forth. 541 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 4: But of course that pardon in the first place. Then 542 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 4: that happened before he went in there. I pretty much 543 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 4: gauge anything he may have to say on the moral 544 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 4: tip or you know, to save it. You know, the 545 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 4: dictators always say this, and Carl, you know you have 546 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 4: a history. You understand this as well. That's the enemy 547 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 4: over there, that is a that's the thread over there. 548 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 4: You guys need to be saved, and only I can 549 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 4: save you. So give up some of your rights, put 550 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 4: me in power, and I will protect you. Every strong 551 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 4: man and strong leader and a person who wanted to 552 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 4: be a dictator and authoritarian in the world has always 553 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 4: said that. And they if they didn't have an actual debt, 554 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 4: they would create one. And that is what you're looking 555 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 4: at in this situation here. I mean, we were talking 556 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,959 Speaker 4: about it, Carl and I were talking about it not 557 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 4: too long about us. The attack on those voters who 558 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 4: were in the middle of the ocean. There was no evidence. 559 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 4: That is an act of war. There was no evidence 560 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 4: of people of whatever they said they were carrying, and 561 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 4: they were actually killing people and then showing it. Those 562 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 4: two things. You know, even even frog marching Maduro is 563 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 4: against international law, you know. But they're acting like I said, 564 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 4: he's as he descends, we're seeing more and more dictatorial actions. 565 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 4: And I really want people, I think, and I'm you know, 566 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 4: Carl's gonna have on some great experts. We're going to 567 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 4: be able to talk about our history in Latin America 568 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 4: and the disgusting gratifications of what has happened over the 569 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 4: years and how we've turned our back on it. To 570 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 4: give an example back in the day. I don't know 571 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 4: if a lot of people know this, especially younger cats, 572 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 4: is as part of propaganda against the Civic Union. If 573 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 4: someone could make it off the island of Cuba and 574 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 4: get to the United States of any parts, they were 575 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 4: given asylum almost immediately. If they could get from from 576 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 4: Castro's Cuba, if they can just get off the island 577 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 4: and get here, they were offered asylum. 578 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: Well, she's like a Brandon's line job.

You're talking about the fires, and 614 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 4: I actually started the day in the San Bernardino Mountains 615 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 4: and made it all the way down to the day, 616 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 4: and so it just shows what happened from my perspective 617 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 4: and how I saw it and what happened in the evening, 618 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 4: and how I actually went up on the freeway. I 619 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 4: win you. You and I talked about this when you came 620 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 4: out here. I went up on the freeway on the 621 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 4: on ramp to see because it's a little higher. They said, 622 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 4: it's not even that late at night, but it was darker, 623 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 4: and to see how far away it was, less than 624 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 4: four miles away when it first started and I was 625 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 4: able to see it through the through the valley, and 626 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 4: then it just it was basically from then on there 627 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 4: three days of just staying awake and trying to fight 628 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 4: this thing as best we could all throughout the city. 629 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 4: So Altadena is dealing. And now, of course we've had 630 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 4: torrential rain for where in California we've had drought conditions 631 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 4: for quite some time, all cleared up in a week, 632 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 4: huge amounts of water. And so tomorrow I'll be taking 633 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 4: a drive through some of those same neighborhoods that she 634 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 4: drove through with us when you came out of here, Carl, 635 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 4: to see what they're looking like, to see the because 636 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 4: it hasn't been all storming, but it's been a constant rain. 637 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 4: And of course one of the problems is Carl, that 638 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 4: they've had to worry about because there's are hills, they're 639 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 4: in the side of a mountain, you know, and what's 640 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 4: going to happen and it's only going to be mudslides. 641 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 4: We're going to see people's land shifting. And then of 642 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 4: course the chemicals they did a good job of clearing, 643 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 4: but you know, a good rain could bring up some 644 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 4: other situations. So uh, there's just some fights to get through, 645 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 4: although there have been in short a couple days ago, 646 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 4: some of the first certificate of occupations have been handed 647 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 4: out in both Pasadena and Altadena for some homes that 648 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 4: were rebuilt from that year, from a year ago. 649 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: So and you mentioned, you know when when were they 650 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: you took me down what's it called Christmas Tree Lane 651 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: or something like. 652 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 4: That, Christmas Tree Lane, yestreet. 653 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 1: Line, right and any Christmas the networks did a peace 654 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: on that.

I was raised on 659 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 4: that street. My grandmother had a house on that street. 660 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 4: And every Christmas they would line the tree. It started 661 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 4: out nineteen twenty. It's one of the oldest celebrations of 662 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 4: its kind in the nation, and the by John Woodbury 663 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 4: and his son, who are the people that were called 664 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,320 Speaker 4: the founders of Altadena. And it's right off of the 665 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 4: street Woodbury and Santa Rosa. And yeah, they lit the 666 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 4: trees up again this year, although it's not as abundant. 667 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 4: It's up to the neighbors to kind of they kind 668 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,959 Speaker 4: of coordinate it and so. 669 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 5: On and so forth. 670 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 4: But yeah, I was raised on that street. That was 671 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 4: the first ten years of my life. Every summer up 672 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 4: there on that street. So they're trying to show signs of, 673 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 4: you know, still staying in the good fight. I don't 674 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 4: know if you saw it. During the Rose Bowl Parade, 675 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 4: there was a float from Alcadena. Most of the floats 676 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 4: that you see in the Rose Bowl Parade two very 677 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 4: specific things is they're all handmade, and they're made from 678 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 4: natural products, although some get a little bit more extravagant 679 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 4: than others. And most of them, not all of most 680 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 4: of them, although it might be maybe spot having sponsors 681 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 4: corporate sponsors, they represent cities, and Altadena actually had its 682 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 4: own float in the Rose Parade and someone had a 683 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 4: banner on it or a sign basically saying that we 684 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 4: won't sell Altadena strong, which has been the motto of 685 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 4: people not wanting to sell their properties to some of 686 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 4: these corporate entities, and the banner was confiscated a short 687 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 4: period into the into the role it made the turn, 688 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 4: which is the most famous part on Colorado and Orange grow. 689 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 4: So millions of people saw it and then some people, 690 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 4: some authorities came up and snatched it. 691 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, interesting, did not know that ten away from 692 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: the time. Let's go back to Venezuela. Though, before you left, 693 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: we had a tweet. I wanted to know if you 694 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 1: think that this was this was just to get away 695 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: from Epstein file. So all of this, this attack and 696 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: all this and do you think it could be that serious? 697 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 4: I think it served that purpose. It definitely though, has 698 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 4: been a build up for them to do this. This 699 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 4: isn't something that is that they just thought of. You know, Ah, 700 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,919 Speaker 4: the f C and files are going crazy, so let's 701 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 4: do this. As you can see, it's it was a 702 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 4: considered effort to muddy up the people of Venezuela and 703 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 4: as to make it look like they were they're a 704 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 4: bunch of drug runners and so we have to do 705 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 4: something about it. The the oil companies have been wanting 706 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 4: to get back into Venezuela for quite some time, a 707 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 4: big way where they're running because the same thing about Nigeria. 708 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 4: By the way, and you know this, Carl, there was 709 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 4: many also in Brazil. There are many of activists, people 710 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 4: of color all throughout those countries, you know, who see 711 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 4: the damage that the some of the uh, they don't 712 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 4: have the protections of the environmental protections that we have. 713 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 4: And even though ours are you know, strained to the 714 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,919 Speaker 4: to the to the n degree. There yeah, there, there, 715 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 4: there are there are people who who protest and try 716 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 4: to fight the destruction of their homelands through the situation 717 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 4: and when these corporations can't run roughshot. This is an 718 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 4: old tactic. By the way, I'm pretty sure your expert's 719 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 4: going to come on and talk about how the United 720 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 4: States and in the European nations have used force to 721 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 4: control population. It's not just colonization, it is extracting their resources, 722 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 4: which is, by the way, what France was doing in Vietnam. 723 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 4: No one talks about this. I don't know if it's 724 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 4: even taught in school that says, how did we end 725 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: up in the Vietnamese War? And it was about Vietnam 726 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 4: fighting for its own independence against the Japanese during World 727 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 4: War two, wanting to be recognized by the world and 728 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 4: in the world, essentially giving that country back to France, 729 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 4: a colonial power that got kicked out of there by Japan, 730 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,240 Speaker 4: and the Vietnamese vast said no. The Vietnam said no, 731 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 4: absolutely not, and Vietnam has large mineral deposits. I think 732 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 4: some of it being nickelutan and so forth, and something 733 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 4: that Japan needed to in order to fight a war, 734 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 4: and they fought back bravely and then they had to 735 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 4: fight the rest of the world to be recognized as 736 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 4: their own country. So are you saying that. 737 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Monte wants to get in on the conversation. 738 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: Ate away from the top day our family, just checking in. 739 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,240 Speaker 1: I guess this political blog of Brandon of course, discussing 740 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: what's going on in Venisuela. Montese's in the war room 741 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: in Pentagon City, Virginia. So Monte grand Rising, welcome to 742 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: the program, you know with Brandon. 743 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 3: Grand Rising. 744 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 8: I was calling talking about the business where we're having 745 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 8: over the weekend, and when I first saw what happened, 746 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 8: I kind of thought, you know, it was a good 747 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 8: thing for the American dollar. But then when I resoughted 748 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 8: all the countries that has assets and American dollars, you know, 749 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 8: they rapidly move it out of the dollar. Was going 750 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 8: to cause a dollar to crash more, which is going 751 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 8: to call more pain for you know, black people, you 752 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 8: know Americans, but especially black people, which will call more 753 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 8: pain for us, and a lot of people think they 754 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 8: went over there for just for the oil. When they 755 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 8: went over there, there's still the silver reserves, because the 756 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,840 Speaker 8: silver is an industrial metal that is needed for the 757 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 8: world reserves to make cell phones, cars, missiles, weapons, and 758 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,919 Speaker 8: that's and that's greatly completed. And so by going over 759 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 8: taking that, they solved two problems at one time. The 760 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 8: first problem is they solved, but they're trying to solve 761 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 8: it got national debt by taking them people's silver. And 762 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 8: the second one is they're trying to solve by taking 763 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 8: their oil. You know, I guess solve America's a natural 764 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 8: resource problem because the people that the Middle East has 765 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 8: already signed with bricks real recently, I think maybe two 766 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:54,879 Speaker 8: days ago. 767 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 3: But that's what I had to say. 768 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,479 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Brown, you want to well, there. 769 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 4: Is something there is something called the petro dollar. Our 770 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 4: civilization is still based on petrochemicals, from latex in paint 771 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 4: to every plastic nib that's on the end of your shoelaces, 772 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 4: to everything around you. Okay, and so the dollar does 773 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 4: remain strong, but the question is strong for who even 774 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 4: if the dollar is held up strung through this action 775 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 4: or made to be stabilized in this action, it doesn't 776 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,760 Speaker 4: mean stability for most of the people who would consider 777 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 4: themselves middle class on down, even upper middle class, Carl. 778 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 4: The we're I think we're gonna say it's faith to 779 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,439 Speaker 4: say that we're close to a new gilded age, and 780 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 4: it's remarkably imbalanced. You know, in California, minimum wage jobs 781 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 4: are twenty three dollars an hour. But that's only because 782 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,879 Speaker 4: California passed the law saying that that there must be 783 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 4: employers must add sixteen dollars to the national minimum wage 784 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 4: in order to pay to have a so that people 785 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 4: can get get paid a living wage. That means that 786 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 4: the national minimum wage, Carl, is still seven dollars in something, 787 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 4: Since seven dollars in something sence, you're essentially working for 788 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 4: two gallons of gas, you know, every album. And you 789 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 4: know what I want to say to that is, how 790 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 4: would stabilizing anything, well, you know, help to rectify the 791 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 4: imbalance that's going on in our economy. And I talk 792 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 4: about I've been you know, I'm not an expert. You 793 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 4: have great experts on they can all speak on this. 794 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 4: But one of the things that I deal with, especially 795 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 4: in dealing with sometimes. You know, I'm a little tinker 796 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 4: with computers and help people out all the time. Personal 797 00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 4: personal incomes, personal economies where people start making choices about things. 798 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 4: Do you look at the macro where Venezuela's oils Oils 799 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 4: talked about Trump just straight out and said something that 800 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 4: was just in any other day, Carl your your journalism 801 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 4: would have been on fire. You wouldn't be able to 802 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 4: put the phone down. You guys would be talking. The 803 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 4: man said, we're going to get our oil, said that 804 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 4: right in front of the tell of You know, that 805 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 4: is something that we've always known. But to say that 806 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 4: out front that way, right, But who's oil? Not the 807 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 4: oil for the people in the United States, It belongs to Venezuela. 808 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 4: So who's who is that supposed to serve? 809 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 9: And you have huge. 810 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,800 Speaker 4: Amounts of money. I mean, we're very close to having 811 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 4: a class or at least a couple of trillionaires where 812 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 4: money is glacierized in a few people's hands. We actually 813 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 4: do have a class of billionaires in this country. And 814 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 4: you cannot glacialize that much money out of the economy 815 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 4: without so many people suffering. It's it's in my in 816 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 4: my personal opinion, you're talking about something that it's almost 817 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 4: immoral because this so many have to give so much 818 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 4: in order for those conditions to exist. 819 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: I'll have that thought right there. We got to check 820 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: the trafficking weather in at different seas when we come back, though, 821 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: I had the feeling that this thing has not win 822 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: completely thought out. When he says we're going to run Venezuela, 823 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 1: We're going to take over the oil o. Our oil 824 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,360 Speaker 1: companies are going to run Venezuela. It seems like that 825 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: was just talking. It seems like there was no concrete plan. Again, 826 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 1: it may be a concept he likes to roll into that. 827 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on that when we 828 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,760 Speaker 1: get back. Family, YouTube can join our conversation with Brandon. 829 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: He's a political blogger. You can reach him at eight 830 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: hundred four or five zero seventy eight seventy six and 831 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 1: we'll take your phones after we check the traffic and 832 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 1: weather not different cities. That's an next family. A happy 833 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 1: New Year, folks. We haven't spoken to you in a while, 834 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: and thank you for joining us on this Monday morning. 835 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: Shout out to our teachers. By the way, teachers going 836 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: back to the classroom this morning and take every our 837 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: young ones. It's too after the top of the hour 838 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: political blog of Brandon and we're discussing, of course, the 839 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: biggest news item across the world today, what happened in Venezuela. 840 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 1: And my question to you Brandon before we left for 841 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 1: the traffic and weather update, was the fact that Donald 842 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: Trump announced that the American Oil Company is going to 843 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: run the oil industry in Venezuela. And this is a problem. 844 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: Part of this problem now shows up because Venezuela supplies Cuba. 845 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: They suppribly Russia and Iran with oil as well and 846 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: some of the other islands in the Caribbean on a 847 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: discounted basis. Do you think this is the part of 848 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: the plan that now this is an indirect way to 849 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,439 Speaker 1: cut off Russia and Cuba from from the discounted oil 850 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: from from Venezuela. He says that, you know, the system 851 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 1: is decrepit, it's it's out of a it's old and 852 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 1: it needs to be updated. And they'll decide who gets 853 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,240 Speaker 1: the oil, and it basically saying it's our oil, meaning 854 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,240 Speaker 1: United States oil. I want to get your thoughts. 855 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it is a lever of control. I 856 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 4: don't know. I don't think Trump would be allowed by 857 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 4: Putin to do anything they would be detrimental to Russia. 858 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 4: So I don't think. I don't think that would happen. 859 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 4: I think that it is some sort of lever of control. 860 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 4: But you know, putting Exxon and a couple of other 861 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 4: countries back in control of Venezuelan oil certainly seems like 862 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 4: it was one of the goals. I don't know if 863 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 4: you remember, but during Trump, when he was running, he 864 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 4: actually he had a meeting with the oil companies and 865 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 4: told them that if you donate to me, I will 866 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 4: you know, be able to do certain things for you, 867 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 4: and blah blah blah. And actually on your show, we 868 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 4: saw it as being akin to the business meeting that 869 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 4: happened in Berlin when Adolf Hitler was rising. Is one 870 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 4: thing that consolidated his powers. He got business entities together 871 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 4: and was able to get them to back him with 872 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 4: their money and resources and his rise to power. And 873 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 4: it was very important that that happened because his organizations 874 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 4: were starving. H they were cash poor. They were the 875 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 4: ranks were rich as far as you know, not rich, 876 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 4: but they had a lot of people, but they were 877 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 4: cash poort. So we had this meeting, this infant meeting, 878 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 4: infamous meeting called the Business Meeting, where he outlined German 879 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,439 Speaker 4: expansion and areas that a lot of these companies could 880 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 4: go off into and control should he be put in power. 881 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 4: And that's when they decided to back him. And it 882 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 4: was kind of the same thing when Trump spoke to 883 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 4: these oil companies. So I do think that there's some 884 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 4: sort of movement to increase the levers of power there 885 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 4: sure well. 886 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: Just five at the top of that, Brandon, And I 887 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: don't know, you're not a psychologist, but answer this question, though, 888 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,879 Speaker 1: the people, the rank and file of support Donald Trump, 889 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: they're not getting paid and there's nothing in there him directly. 890 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:59,839 Speaker 1: The billionaires getting money, all these oil tie guys, all 891 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 1: the he spoke to support Donald Trump, and he and 892 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,839 Speaker 1: they and supported him with cash, helping him build you know, 893 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,799 Speaker 1: build out the White House if you will, and all 894 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 1: of that kind of stuff and support his campaign with cash. 895 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: And they're the ones who are getting getting paid. They're 896 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: getting repaid for their loyalty. But the rank and file, 897 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 1: the MAGA group, who all they are blind blind loyalty 898 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump, they're not. They're not saying that their 899 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 1: resources in fact, they're paying more for goods and services 900 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: they may have, but still they still love Donald Trump. 901 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 10: Can you explain that to me? 902 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 4: I would say that, you know, it's very obvious to 903 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 4: the restoration of almost everyone here that we're dealing with 904 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 4: a cult. And I've kind of I've had discussions with 905 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 4: people about this. You know, in regards to trying to 906 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 4: woo MAGA people away from mag you. 907 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 7: Can't do that. 908 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 4: They have to leave on their own volition. They have 909 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 4: to leave on their own terms. You know, you're not 910 00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 4: There's nothing that you could say to a cult to 911 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 4: they have to come to it. You could provide them 912 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 4: with evidence, but they have to come to it themselves. 913 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 4: And even still, we're talking about something that was based 914 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 4: on blatant cruelty, the idea of being cruel to people, 915 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 4: the idea of having agency in people's bodies, over people's 916 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 4: bodies and minds and positions and futures. Do you really 917 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 4: want to work that hard to have that person next 918 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,440 Speaker 4: to you. They will vote their interest when they go 919 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,959 Speaker 4: through enough pain when he puts them through. But I'm 920 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 4: in order for that to happen, maybe sectors of our 921 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 4: economy have to be destroyed with the people, and I 922 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 4: don't want that to happen. I don't want people to 923 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:51,160 Speaker 4: be in the streets in my own opinion. But it's 924 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 4: you know, it's and it was based a lot of 925 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 4: it's based on race. And like LBJ said, you know, 926 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 4: if you can if you can give, you can have 927 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 4: the lowest wife man looked down on the on the 928 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 4: highest black man, you can pick his pocket, and if 929 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 4: you give him someone else to look down on, he'll 930 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 4: empty his pockets for you. And we've seen that, We've 931 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 4: seen that absolutely play out, and they will come up 932 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:15,879 Speaker 4: with their you know, they'll come up with a way 933 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 4: to reason this away. They'll come up with their own 934 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 4: broken logic to themselves and say why this was needed 935 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 4: and this was important to happen out even though you know, 936 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 4: this was never spoken of when he was running. As 937 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 4: a matter of fact, he remember he said he was 938 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 4: going to be the peace president and I just you know, 939 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 4: I just gave you, you know, seven countries that he's 940 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 4: bombed since he came in. And this is what's also 941 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 4: you know, Carl, I think there is something to be 942 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 4: said for the fact that when strong men get to 943 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 4: be seen as weak and are cornered they strike out 944 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 4: to make it look like they're strong again, you know, 945 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,720 Speaker 4: And that's where the Epstein files. That's where the Epstein 946 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 4: files come into plays as a as a something to 947 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 4: put him in position of weakness. So it's not necessarily 948 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 4: just the fact that the files existed and what was 949 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 4: going on, but it weakened his position, so he had 950 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 4: to he he this, you know, this strike as they 951 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 4: see it is an authoritarian would see it kind of 952 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 4: boosts him back into play. 953 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, at some point though, fatigue has to come in. 954 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we've been through a whole year with Donald 955 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: Trump now and I'm just I'm just I just thinking 956 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 1: we haven't seen anything yet. I mean, this is the 957 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: first year we got. We've got three more years of 958 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: this and for most people, they're just tired. They just 959 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: don't want anymore. They just you know, they they're craving 960 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: for And the polls are showing this right now, that 961 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: the polls are showing a favoring the Democrats. Uh, do 962 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 1: you think the maggot group and the people who are 963 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 1: the loyalist to Donald Trump are going to wake up 964 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: right about now? Or was it the people who were 965 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 1: on the swing who says I thought Trump was going 966 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: to do this, as you mentioned, he was going to 967 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: be the peace president. He's going to solve the economy 968 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 1: on day one and all this, all the stuff that 969 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 1: he's going to do. He's going to release the Appstein files. 970 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,719 Speaker 1: He hasn't kept his promises. So many of the people 971 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: in the country have saw that now against him. But 972 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 1: the hardcore MAGA group, when do you think they'll go 973 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 1: wake up? Is it going to take something personal? Is 974 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,399 Speaker 1: it when the when the healthcare now that this month, 975 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 1: now they when they get the healthcare bills. Do you 976 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: think that's going to wake them up? 977 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 4: I think I think personal struggle will bring some of 978 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 4: them to wake up, and they'll go into the voting booths. 979 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 4: And do you know, mind you, I'm not altogether sure 980 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:39,359 Speaker 4: that our voting is safe right now, given who now 981 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:46,240 Speaker 4: owns at least one of the vote voting companies actually 982 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:51,960 Speaker 4: was taken over by a gop cohort or someone who 983 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 4: is who believes in system, the conservative person. But I 984 00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:00,439 Speaker 4: think it's you know, I don't really delve too much 985 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 4: pass the idea of it being a cult, you know, 986 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 4: I'm not. I think what we have to concern ourselves 987 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 4: with is trying to ensure that people who who made 988 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 4: moves under MAGA never sit at the table of governance again. 989 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:24,720 Speaker 4: And that is very important because they obstructed when they could, 990 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 4: and they destroyed when they got power to build. And 991 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 4: in this very important I mean, you're seeing this person, 992 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green, who is now you know, attacking Trump 993 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 4: and saying, you know, and she just put a post 994 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 4: out today talking about basically showing the ridiculousness and the 995 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 4: lie of how he said he was going to be 996 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 4: the peace president and so on and so forth. I 997 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 4: think she put a post out in some respect something 998 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 4: about that. But she's not an ally. You know, she 999 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 4: worked tirelessly to help create this Frankenstein and that needs 1000 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 4: to be remembered and it needs to be repeated so 1001 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 4: that it's understood that, Look, you know this sometimes, you know, 1002 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 4: certain situations makes strange bedfellows war and politics. But you know, 1003 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,359 Speaker 4: while that's true, you still need to make sure that 1004 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 4: you understand what they were professing and what they have 1005 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 4: been professing for twenty thirty years, and then when they 1006 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 4: got in power, all of the damage that they've done 1007 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 4: just you know, sheer horrific damage where they've picked up 1008 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 4: American citizens and thrown them into some They've created concentration camps. 1009 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,399 Speaker 4: They've destroyed and broken up families. They've been you know, 1010 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 4: and the cruelty doesn't end there. It goes into the 1011 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,320 Speaker 4: monetary terms. It goes into educational terms, it goes into 1012 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 4: specific racial relations or racial relations in the United States. 1013 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 4: Is they've you know, ramped up hatred which has articulated itself, 1014 00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 4: and people of color being targeted, in many cases un alive. 1015 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 4: So we have to be very careful about how we 1016 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 4: approach this. You know, it can't be you know, what, 1017 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 4: what is their next move? Can we you know, commiserate 1018 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 4: with them as we go through this, you know, this 1019 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 4: struggle because you know, it's it's that whole thing of 1020 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 4: the the the the frog and the scorpion trying to 1021 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 4: get across the river, you know, and the frog and 1022 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 4: the scorpion have a conversation and frog scorpion says, if 1023 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 4: you take me across this river, you know, we'll be 1024 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 4: all right. I'll help you out. And the frog said, no, 1025 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 4: you're a scorpion. You're gonna sting me. Scorpions says, no. 1026 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 4: Frog takes across the river and halfway through the river, 1027 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 4: The scorpion stings him, and the frog says, why do 1028 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 4: you do that? He says, that can't help myself. I'm 1029 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 4: a scorpion. And at a certain point you have to 1030 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 4: take that logic and you have to say, Okay, what 1031 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 4: have they done in the past, what is it based on, 1032 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 4: and what they move forward? I would say that also, 1033 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 4: you know, this move on Venezuela is pure magna. You 1034 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 4: know the way it's being framed. Absolutely, you know, some 1035 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,400 Speaker 4: brown skinned people are a threat to us, and so 1036 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to go in there and clean it up. 1037 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 4: And you know, I'm going there and take somebody and 1038 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 4: actual people die. So you know, this this farce of 1039 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 4: what he's what he's saying too, and it's not even 1040 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 4: the farstest. You can actually be very clear about this. 1041 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 4: He was very clear about what he was doing was 1042 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 4: putting the oil companies back in charge of a sovereign nation. 1043 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 4: And I think that at the very least that's despicable. Now, 1044 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 4: do we want to continue to align ourselves that type 1045 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 4: of behavior? 1046 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 11: Is the question? 1047 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 1: Well, it's a big question there. And I guess the 1048 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 1: folks who think that way, you know your question, do 1049 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,800 Speaker 1: they do they really are they really thinking for themselves 1050 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 1: or they just caught up with they just swallowed drank 1051 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: so much of the kool aid, they just regriterate anything 1052 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 1: that they're said without even thinking about the consequences. Or 1053 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 1: do you think they because the support for Donald Trump's 1054 00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 1: because they believe in what he believes in. 1055 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 4: I mean, ask yourself about Nicki minaj I'm pretty sure 1056 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 4: we would have talked about that more if this had 1057 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,320 Speaker 4: not happened. There have been reports of what she did. 1058 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 4: If you don't know, Nick Minaje went on Turning Point USA, 1059 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 4: which is Charlie Kirk's organization to pie piper people funnel 1060 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 4: young people into the Maga mindset, which I could I 1061 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,919 Speaker 4: would say, is you know, once again a cult move. 1062 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:34,439 Speaker 4: But she went on stage with Charlie Kirk's widow as 1063 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:42,440 Speaker 4: the widow you know, mourns with you know, glitter and pyrotechnics, 1064 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 4: and she you know, she praised Donald. She praised the widow, 1065 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 4: and she was talking about Christianity and she said some 1066 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 4: really like you know, Donald's handsome and all these you know, 1067 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 4: weird things. And then people like Dale Hughley actually heard 1068 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 4: I heard it from his She was talking about, well 1069 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 4: what may be happening, is that she's trying to save 1070 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 4: her house because she got into some legal thing and 1071 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,439 Speaker 4: it turned into a judgment and that judgment has gone 1072 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,440 Speaker 4: against her, and so she may be making moves to 1073 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 4: try to say her house. I don't know specifically. 1074 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 5: I don't know that. 1075 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 4: I just hurted like everybody else. So you have to 1076 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 4: do your research and try to find out at the 1077 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 4: bottom of that is true. But you know, you have 1078 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 4: to be careful of how people are speaking. Do they 1079 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 4: really believe it or are they looking for, you know, 1080 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 4: a come up. You dig what I'm saying. And the 1081 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 4: reason why that's important is not we're not just talking 1082 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 4: about people on corners doing this. When you back and 1083 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 4: connect with that type of mindset, the authoritarian mindset, lives 1084 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 4: are at risk. Lives are risk, and so you know 1085 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:56,760 Speaker 4: when people when real lives and I'm not just talking 1086 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 4: about the fact that you know, our way of life 1087 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 4: is then, but actual people aren't alive on this planet 1088 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 4: and you have to be careful about that. So I 1089 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 4: don't think I don't think it's something to be played 1090 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 4: with a toy with. It's what I'm saying, all. 1091 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: Right though, Right then we've got to step aside for 1092 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: a few months. I've got some folks want to talk 1093 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: to you when we get back. Bob in Buffalo, Charles 1094 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,160 Speaker 1: in Baltimore Family YouTube can join our discussion with Brandon. 1095 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,479 Speaker 1: Reach out to us at eight hundred four five zero 1096 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,520 Speaker 1: seventy eight seventy six and we'll take your phone calls 1097 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: next and Grand Rising Family, thanks for starting your week 1098 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 1: with us.

Also, Brandon gave us an update 1101 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 1: on the spending the one year anniversary of the those 1102 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 1: killer fires out in Altadena where he resides. Eight hundred 1103 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 1: and four or five zero seventy eight seventy six. I'm 1104 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,840 Speaker 1: of the call speak to Brandon. Bob's calling from Buffalo. 1105 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 1: He's online one Grand Rising, Bobby're on my political block 1106 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 1: of Brandon. 1107 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 11: You're a happy, healthy, and progressive new year to all 1108 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 11: of us. Have a comment in a question. The comment 1109 01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 11: is that Venezuela wasn't failure threat. I think it was 1110 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 11: an obstacle for something that they wanted, and they wanted 1111 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 11: to get that obstacle either way they posed it that 1112 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,600 Speaker 11: they were a threat by using drugs or whatever, but 1113 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 11: they were more an obstacle. They wanted the oil, so 1114 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,600 Speaker 11: they went and they got the oil. My question is, is 1115 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 11: the concept or the reality of checks and balances totally 1116 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:26,320 Speaker 11: out of the window. And you know when Putin wanted 1117 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 11: Ukraine the European Union, and they came as a counterbalance 1118 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 11: as a check on his desire to just take over Ukraine. 1119 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 11: But I don't see the international community or anybody coming 1120 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 11: as a check or a balance on the aspirations or 1121 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 11: the actions of Trump and his allies. There is the 1122 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:55,320 Speaker 11: idea or even the reality or the idea of checks 1123 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,920 Speaker 11: and balances is totally out of the window now, and 1124 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 11: they just can do whatever they want. Bullies like Putin 1125 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 11: or like Trump or whoever can do whatever they want 1126 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 11: to the week. The strong can do the week. Might 1127 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 11: doesn't make right, but it makes things possible. They can 1128 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 11: do it, so they do do it. I'm not sure 1129 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:14,440 Speaker 11: if that was clear or not. 1130 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: I think it was Brandon. 1131 01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 4: Carl's bringing on someone who who's an expert in this area, 1132 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 4: is I would say, on the political and though I 1133 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 4: know he was talking about geopolitically, the checks and balances 1134 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:35,160 Speaker 4: probably would be China, which is dangerous because you know 1135 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 4: you're coming in. 1136 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 12: There at all. 1137 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 11: There's a U income in any kind of. 1138 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:42,560 Speaker 1: Today. 1139 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, but let me but let me let me because I, 1140 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,240 Speaker 4: like I said, I'm not an expert in that, but 1141 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 4: but I think it's very important to to bring out 1142 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 4: something that's very important. 1143 01:03:51,680 --> 01:04:02,280 Speaker 13: China and Taiwan, Russian, yes, Russian, Ukraine, uh Pakistan and 1144 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,240 Speaker 13: India where they are Kashmir. 1145 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 4: Okay, now you're talking about places in dispute which may 1146 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 4: go the direction of Trump and just go in and 1147 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 4: take it. 1148 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 5: Now. 1149 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 4: I think China is something I think we have a 1150 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 4: very kind of a fifty year old view of China 1151 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 4: and Taiwan. I believe Taiwan actually is still propped up 1152 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 4: actually by China because the super rich and China need 1153 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 4: to find a way to funnel their money from the country, 1154 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 4: and that's primarily why Taiwan is still around. I believe 1155 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 4: that although Shanghai has some areas to do that. Now, 1156 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 4: I will say this though, and this is the microcosm 1157 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 4: to what you were talking about. The national On the 1158 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:49,800 Speaker 4: national level, you have a political party which is abdicated 1159 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 4: it the legislative branches job to counterbalance or to be 1160 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 4: a check and balance again on the presidency of the 1161 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 4: United States, the executive branch the United States of America. 1162 01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 4: The GOP has completely given itself over to Trump in 1163 01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 4: a very dangerous way. And like I said, this is 1164 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 4: one of those things that the Democrats, into my frustration, 1165 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,960 Speaker 4: don't bring up every day when people get angry. Why 1166 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 4: don't the Democrats do some Democrats do something it really 1167 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 4: they really should be naming Republicans all throughout the districts 1168 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,760 Speaker 4: and all throughout their state because this party has really 1169 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 4: destroyed and and I'm going to say it destroyed the 1170 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 4: checks and balances of the legislative branch on an executive 1171 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 4: branch where the way I think, like I said, it's 1172 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 4: very important to continue to point out. 1173 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 9: The cognition of this man who is now, who tries 1174 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,280 Speaker 9: to who tries to boast the fact that he has 1175 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:54,000 Speaker 9: taken three cognitive tests, which you know is a sign 1176 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 9: that somebody around him, many people around him, are worried 1177 01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,120 Speaker 9: that he is insane. 1178 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:00,600 Speaker 7: You know this. 1179 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,600 Speaker 4: I know, I know you were speaking on the geopolitical sense, 1180 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 4: in the global sense, but what I'm talking about is 1181 01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 4: the micro which actually affects the global sense, you know 1182 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,680 Speaker 4: what I'm saying, and I would I would, I would 1183 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 4: hope that you would listen later on when Carl brings 1184 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 4: on his experts to talk about, you know, the history 1185 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,280 Speaker 4: and the now and those because I can I read 1186 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 4: some of those questions are just I'm not an expert 1187 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,160 Speaker 4: and I'm not going to sit here and try they 1188 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 4: expound on. But I do believe I think you're correct 1189 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 4: and at least have been concerned about the checks and 1190 01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 4: balances of what's going on in Europe and what's going 1191 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 4: on and so on and so forth. By the way, 1192 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,920 Speaker 4: this is not new though for the United States, especially 1193 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,960 Speaker 4: in this hemisphere. I just I don't know if you 1194 01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,840 Speaker 4: were listening earlier, but I just named some of the 1195 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 4: some of the attacks and interventions that we did, and 1196 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,479 Speaker 4: this has been going on since we've had the power. 1197 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,600 Speaker 4: I mean, the Panama Canal is one of the things 1198 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,960 Speaker 4: that actually if you can, you know, talk about it, 1199 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 4: or anybody Carl can especially bring that up. Is you know, 1200 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 4: as an American looked upon as an American enterprise, which 1201 01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 4: we held in this part of the world for a 1202 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 4: good part of one hundred some years. 1203 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 1: So it's Brandon, Is this all part of the Monroe 1204 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 1: doctrine still anyflect as we speak? 1205 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 4: The Monroe doctrine was the young nation at the time 1206 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,640 Speaker 4: flexing its you know, getting its flex on to get 1207 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 4: rid of an old, creaky system, the colonial system from Europe. 1208 01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 4: It wasn't specifically what were you know, the geopolitics that 1209 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 4: we're talking about now. They didn't have the capability. I 1210 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 4: think Theodore Roosevelt when he put our navy on tour, 1211 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 4: was more in that direction. But I think there's something, Yeah, 1212 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 4: there's something to be said for. But this isn't kicking 1213 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 4: you know, Europe out of out of Latin America. It's 1214 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 4: kicking Latins out of Latin America, you know what I mean. 1215 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,280 Speaker 4: It's going into Venezuela and and trying to undermine it's 1216 01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:54,520 Speaker 4: it's sovereignty. 1217 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,040 Speaker 1: And since you mentioned Theodore Roosevelt, is that what the 1218 01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,040 Speaker 1: country needs at this point? Another Teddy row. 1219 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 4: You know, I know the first thing they need to 1220 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 4: do is is to, like I said, remove MAGA from 1221 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 4: the table of governance. That's the very first thing they 1222 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:15,280 Speaker 4: have done. Been remarkably destructive and one of the biggest 1223 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 4: problems that we have is, like I said, because it's 1224 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 4: the cult, you're never going to get accountability. So people 1225 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 4: hoping that, you know, all these other things happen, it's 1226 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:28,880 Speaker 4: they're not going to they're not going to acknowledge it. 1227 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,040 Speaker 4: And I will remind people and people, you know, they 1228 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:32,919 Speaker 4: kind of jump up and down when you make allusions 1229 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,479 Speaker 4: to Hitler or whatever. But there were German people who 1230 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 4: did not believe that they were being defeated or could 1231 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,759 Speaker 4: be defeated, almost up until the very end, until parts 1232 01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 4: of Berlin were flattened. So understand that. 1233 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:49,760 Speaker 5: That where we are. 1234 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 4: And I do believe that, you know, personal personal economies 1235 01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 4: come into play, Carls. So when folks start filling the bite, yeah, 1236 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 4: you're going to see some people who will come around. 1237 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 4: But that doesn't make him your allies. That just means 1238 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,200 Speaker 4: that they're they're looking out for themselves in their family. 1239 01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: Gotcha, twenty half the tough. Charlie's checking in from BALTIMORECE 1240 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 1: on like two grand rising, Charles. You're home with Brandon. 1241 01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:18,599 Speaker 5: Yes, that's how you don Brandon m good morning. All right, 1242 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,080 Speaker 5: all right, Well, I gotta look at what Donald Trump 1243 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:26,880 Speaker 5: is doing, and I'm really amazed by it because it 1244 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 5: seems like he's real money hungry, and I don't understand it. 1245 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 5: You know, every time I turn around, he's trying to 1246 01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:41,520 Speaker 5: make money for the country, like this is his own finances. 1247 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:47,000 Speaker 5: I mean, is that what presidents actually do? Because you know, 1248 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 5: we should be having, you know, something different. You know, 1249 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:56,639 Speaker 5: we should be having a federal reserve. But instead it's 1250 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,360 Speaker 5: like Donald Trump is raising this money to put in 1251 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:02,200 Speaker 5: the federal with deserve, and the federal reserve is being 1252 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 5: used like a rainy day fund. We keep saying, where 1253 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,479 Speaker 5: is all the money coming to fund all of this? 1254 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,400 Speaker 5: And then it comes out of the federal reserve or 1255 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 5: the rainy day fund or all these other places which 1256 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 5: are not traditional. Is that, you know, really the thing 1257 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 5: that is telling us that the government ended in nineteen 1258 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,720 Speaker 5: ninety nine because we don't have checks and balances anymore, 1259 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 5: because we don't have a traditional federal reserve, because they're 1260 01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,880 Speaker 5: making up stuff as they go, and now we're about 1261 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:36,919 Speaker 5: selling America. 1262 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 1: Let's give a chance to respond. Thanks, Charles, thanks for 1263 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:41,840 Speaker 1: your caring it. 1264 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 4: You know, I that's a very good question. I thought 1265 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 4: he first he was going to go down the road 1266 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 4: of how Trump is money hunger and his family or 1267 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 4: just you know, it's remarkable snatches and cash grabs, everything 1268 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 4: from crypto to you know, selling Trump's shoes to But 1269 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:08,599 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's ridiculous and it's remarkably corrupt 1270 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 4: in the face of it. Just because you're doing something 1271 01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 4: out front and doesn't make it okay. But I will 1272 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 4: say this, David K. Johnson, I don't know Johnston excuse. 1273 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,759 Speaker 4: I don't know if you ever had him on. He's 1274 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,559 Speaker 4: a journalist and an author, but he mostly deals with 1275 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 4: the economy. Talked about over the last couple of weeks, 1276 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:35,280 Speaker 4: the FED has made these remarkable cash infusions into the system, 1277 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,479 Speaker 4: to the banking systems, you know, tens and tens of 1278 01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 4: billions at a time, which he thinks and I'm not 1279 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 4: saying this is me, I'm saying this is from what 1280 01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,479 Speaker 4: I saw him say. He thinks that it is a 1281 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:53,600 Speaker 4: sign that they're trying to keep some of these banks afloat. 1282 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 4: Now do I think that's possible, Absolutely, I absolutely do. 1283 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:04,840 Speaker 4: I don't think that Trump had any any great plan 1284 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 4: or scheme. And also even Project twenty twenty five is 1285 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 4: as insane as it is when you start basing things 1286 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:21,360 Speaker 4: on hate and in this country and in division what 1287 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 4: you don't have is industry. What you don't have is 1288 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 4: the best the resources that you can use. And so 1289 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,720 Speaker 4: when that's when that immediately falls behind, you end up 1290 01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,240 Speaker 4: with giant holes and gaps in the Nation's almost as 1291 01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 4: if car you could write a sci fi movie about 1292 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,160 Speaker 4: basically excuse me, an outside of by political thriller about 1293 01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,600 Speaker 4: how some other nations came together to put Trump in 1294 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,200 Speaker 4: to do damage to this country because so much is 1295 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 4: it being done, and I don't think people really understand 1296 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,040 Speaker 4: they will if they start going through pain and a 1297 01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,840 Speaker 4: pain that doesn't let up, that can't find relief. One 1298 01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,920 Speaker 4: of the biggest problems with President Obama is that he 1299 01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:05,639 Speaker 4: actually helped usher people through some of those hardest times. 1300 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 4: He really did, which weren't started by him. It was 1301 01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,879 Speaker 4: started by Bush, you know, but he was the remedy 1302 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,040 Speaker 4: and he did such a good job, just like Biden 1303 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,400 Speaker 4: who did such a good job after the first Trump 1304 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 4: debacle that not enough people I think went through the paint. 1305 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,960 Speaker 4: I mean, if anybody wanted the baby on that, all 1306 01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 4: you have to do is look at the uh, look 1307 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 4: at the farmers and the farmers distant right, remember the 1308 01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:31,559 Speaker 4: soybean farmer, the first Trump's first administration, who were you know, 1309 01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:35,799 Speaker 4: flattened because the Trump started some he created some wackle 1310 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 4: trade war with China.

And it ended with 1314 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,599 Speaker 4: them getting a handout from the government of our tax dollars. 1315 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,639 Speaker 4: And they voted for Trump and then they turned around 1316 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:59,719 Speaker 4: and voted for him again. And the same thing is happening, 1317 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,599 Speaker 4: and he he's using the and he's going back to 1318 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,559 Speaker 4: the trough and getting people's money, getting taxpayer's money to 1319 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,240 Speaker 4: pay off some people.

And to say 1483 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 4: that you want all that to crumble now, it would 1484 01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,680 Speaker 4: be at odds with some of those plans. So I 1485 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 4: think sometimes we have to be very careful about what 1486 01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,800 Speaker 4: we're talking about now. And I've said this before and 1487 01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,760 Speaker 4: I actually have a piece that I'm very doing about this. 1488 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:25,439 Speaker 4: Older Black people need younger Black people. We need to 1489 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,320 Speaker 4: kind of get off this tip where we're talking about 1490 01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,240 Speaker 4: they don't know nothing, they're just doing this. You need 1491 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:33,759 Speaker 4: people who don't have the roots that you have, because 1492 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,320 Speaker 4: sometimes moves need to be made by people who cannot 1493 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 4: be controlled by those roots. They also have the energy 1494 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,800 Speaker 4: and their new way of thinking, quite often is what 1495 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 4: needs to occur to make changes in directions of the nation. 1496 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:53,000 Speaker 4: At the same time, younger black people need older black 1497 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,280 Speaker 4: people to maybe explain to them the pitfalls that they 1498 01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,519 Speaker 4: may come across, to give them the benefit of having 1499 01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 4: been there for at least a map of success on 1500 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,679 Speaker 4: how to do this, and also the resources that older 1501 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,960 Speaker 4: black folks may have I can help them move forward. 1502 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,360 Speaker 4: So there needs to be a balance of us having 1503 01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,320 Speaker 4: conversations to make these things happen and make them move forward. 1504 01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:18,640 Speaker 4: But yeah, I will say that that, you know, the 1505 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,720 Speaker 4: whole thing about wanting to burn all the way to 1506 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 4: the ground and sayf you know, anarchists always say this 1507 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 4: all the time, and they don't say specifically in violence, 1508 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 4: but they do say that the system should, you know, 1509 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 4: roll over and be destroyed. In many cases, I'm against 1510 01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,960 Speaker 4: crony capitalism, I'm against corrupt capitalism, but I am not 1511 01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:41,600 Speaker 4: a communist in that sense. I'm for I believe in entrepreneurship, 1512 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 4: and I believe that there ain't nobody who is better 1513 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:51,360 Speaker 4: at trying to move forward truthfully than blackfaulk. So to 1514 01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:53,759 Speaker 4: say that I want the whole system to no, I don't. 1515 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:57,759 Speaker 4: I don't personally don't, and I don't think that most people, 1516 01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:01,160 Speaker 4: because you know, Carl, unless you kind of scene what 1517 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:05,759 Speaker 4: can come of that. At the bottom of that ladder, 1518 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,919 Speaker 4: if you're talking about a civilization crumbling or the system crumbling, 1519 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:13,679 Speaker 4: the brutes take over. At the bottom of that ladder, 1520 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 4: the Trumps takeover, which is why they always try to 1521 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 4: tear everything down to that right, because their authoritarianism is 1522 01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 4: based on controlling you through what you think you need, 1523 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 4: through through through the fear of you not getting what 1524 01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 4: you think you need. Excuse me, So you know, that's 1525 01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 4: why they always One thing Trump can do is he 1526 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,280 Speaker 4: can create demons, and they demonize, you know, groups of people, 1527 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 4: They demonize countries, they demonize ideas and concepts so that 1528 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,240 Speaker 4: they can say only I can protect you, you know 1529 01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,080 Speaker 4: what I'm saying, And I'm not sure a lot of 1530 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:49,439 Speaker 4: people are willing for civilization to crumble to that era 1531 01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,360 Speaker 4: where everywhere you turn you have to deal with somebody 1532 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 4: like that, you know who who you know. Crony capitalism 1533 01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,599 Speaker 4: makes it engine where everybody, you know, as long as 1534 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,880 Speaker 4: they pay everybody off. That's the law, you know, that's 1535 01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,439 Speaker 4: the new law. Ma'n. Donnie came into office and he's 1536 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,040 Speaker 4: looking at changing some of the laws for what landlords 1537 01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,759 Speaker 4: can charge and excuse me, what the taxes they'll pay. 1538 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,120 Speaker 4: So if they raise rents on people, that's a good thing. 1539 01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 4: That puts a little bit more power in the pocket 1540 01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:20,760 Speaker 4: of the renter. And and so imagine if if you 1541 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:26,120 Speaker 4: if every block was different, you know, if everything crumbles, 1542 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,679 Speaker 4: and every block and every landlord as long as they paid, 1543 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,519 Speaker 4: you know, the big boss whatever could do, could charge 1544 01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,800 Speaker 4: whatever they want and do whatever they want. So you know, yeah, 1545 01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 4: I'm not for civilization turning up a belly in that 1546 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:40,479 Speaker 4: particular situation. 1547 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: Nah, shaving away from that topic, let me throw in 1548 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,000 Speaker 1: my two cents. You know, I think we're so into 1549 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,760 Speaker 1: woven in the fabric of this country that it's going 1550 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:50,920 Speaker 1: to affect all of us, not just black people. White 1551 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,719 Speaker 1: folks are going to get impacted too by this. They're 1552 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,720 Speaker 1: very big, and I think we have been through so much. 1553 01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 1: We're resilient, we used to being hardships. We can deal 1554 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 1: with it. But if some of them they've never seen 1555 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 1: what's coming down the pike, and bigga ones are going 1556 01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 1: to be really when they're impacted by some of these changes. 1557 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,320 Speaker 1: The ones are going to really have a time struggling 1558 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,559 Speaker 1: with to do it. But what we you know, we expect, 1559 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: we know how to deal with it. We can bounce back. 1560 01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,720 Speaker 4: You know that there's some there's some dirty appellations. 1561 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:21,479 Speaker 7: You know that. 1562 01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:25,040 Speaker 4: They're hardy right up in there. I'm not gonna take 1563 01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:28,360 Speaker 4: it away from from people whose families, you know, dug 1564 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,559 Speaker 4: coal out of mountains for generations. I'm not gonna take 1565 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:34,080 Speaker 4: it out of people whose families you know, took dirt 1566 01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:38,240 Speaker 4: patches and turned them into you know, uh, generating farms. Hey, 1567 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,599 Speaker 4: hard work is hard work. And I'm not gonna say 1568 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,280 Speaker 4: that other people can't go through and lessen. I will 1569 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:48,240 Speaker 4: say that the ruling class in this country has now 1570 01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:53,600 Speaker 4: has such generational wealth that you do that that that 1571 01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,240 Speaker 4: that the politics and the nature of politics have kept 1572 01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 4: them empowered to the point where you have someone who 1573 01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 4: is come completely ill fitted for a job r FK Jr. 1574 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:08,400 Speaker 4: Who is you know, he's deconstructing one of the greatest 1575 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:11,920 Speaker 4: institutions in the history. And I say this, and I 1576 01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,679 Speaker 4: don't say this lightly because you know, in a way 1577 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:18,719 Speaker 4: of science and understanding a germ theory in the possible 1578 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:22,720 Speaker 4: in what vaccinations have done uh to the world in 1579 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,040 Speaker 4: you know, don't get me started on anti vaxer's But 1580 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,800 Speaker 4: r fk Jr. Has done a tremendous amount of damage 1581 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:34,719 Speaker 4: to the CDC, to our health system.

Progressive 1655 01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,280 Speaker 4: is a you know, it can be kind of frosty 1656 01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:32,240 Speaker 4: because you know, what was considered progressive. Then we look 1657 01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:35,120 Speaker 4: at now as you know, uh normal or even in 1658 01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:39,599 Speaker 4: some cases slightly slightly conservative. But when you're talking about 1659 01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:42,240 Speaker 4: whether or not we're even looked upon as being human, 1660 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,320 Speaker 4: you know, the scale uh flies a little bit. But yeah, 1661 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:51,320 Speaker 4: there have been, there have been. The funny thing is 1662 01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:53,720 Speaker 4: that Truman actually had there were there were stories of 1663 01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:57,200 Speaker 4: Truman having links and ties to to the KKK when 1664 01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 4: he first started his political career. Uh. We We also 1665 01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,439 Speaker 4: do know that LBJ would have called himself a what 1666 01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:09,519 Speaker 4: was is a term that was used specific for his 1667 01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:13,680 Speaker 4: type of politics. As a Southern cracker, you need you 1668 01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:21,360 Speaker 4: needed an LBJ. Excuse me, Kennedy needed an LBJ to 1669 01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:26,240 Speaker 4: finish out his his national portfolio of power. LBJ was 1670 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:28,920 Speaker 4: indeed probably the most powerful politician in the nation. 1671 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 1: And so he though, did did LBJ believe in what 1672 01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:38,640 Speaker 1: Kennedy was doing it? Or or and just wanted to 1673 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:42,559 Speaker 1: finish Kennedy's plan? Or was that his you know, being 1674 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:45,000 Speaker 1: from the south, because we know that's why Kennedy depicted 1675 01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:47,639 Speaker 1: him to get the Southern vote. Do you believe that 1676 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:51,280 Speaker 1: this is he actually believed in what the Kennedys were sailing. 1677 01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:55,320 Speaker 4: It wasn't just the Southern vote. People forget that the 1678 01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:58,920 Speaker 4: Southern went for white folks. The Southern went very you 1679 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:01,760 Speaker 4: know far into the north. By the time I was 1680 01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,639 Speaker 4: coming up, they called those type of politicians blue dogs, 1681 01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:10,240 Speaker 4: the ones that that were basically uh that had very 1682 01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:12,280 Speaker 4: racist districts, and they went all the way up to 1683 01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:13,400 Speaker 4: the border of Canada. 1684 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:14,680 Speaker 15: So he was. 1685 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,320 Speaker 4: But his his power and his influence. Absolutely he wanted 1686 01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 4: Kennedy needed those quote unquote Southern votes, but he needed 1687 01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:25,680 Speaker 4: the power that LBJ had. It's interesting because a lot 1688 01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 4: of people talk about Kennedy as being this great president 1689 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:34,240 Speaker 4: and Camelot Southern Kennedy. You know, Okayed surveillance on doctor King. Uh, 1690 01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 4: the Bay of Pigs was a disaster. There's you know, 1691 01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,439 Speaker 4: there are there are a lot of l's that he 1692 01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,840 Speaker 4: took in his short period of time. He he his 1693 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:45,200 Speaker 4: speech about going to the Moon was in the Moon 1694 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:48,280 Speaker 4: was a in response to a couple of l's that 1695 01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 4: he had already taken, and the nation gearing up for 1696 01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,840 Speaker 4: that was partly because of the space race with the 1697 01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:59,320 Speaker 4: Soviet unions, which beat us in almost every category except 1698 01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,720 Speaker 4: landing somewhere and on the moon. So they first have 1699 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 4: a man and a woman in space and to do orbit, 1700 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:07,680 Speaker 4: and first satellite and first to senna an increase here 1701 01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:09,920 Speaker 4: in the space, first to go around the Moon with 1702 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:17,960 Speaker 4: with a satellite, with a with spacecraft. So yeah, lbj's agenda, 1703 01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:22,600 Speaker 4: in my opinion, was his own. It was remarkably progressive 1704 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,360 Speaker 4: for the time, and he basically said, I guess I 1705 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:28,120 Speaker 4: think he said to himself that I'm going to do 1706 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,920 Speaker 4: these things while I can. I'm going to do it. 1707 01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 4: And it took it would take a person who was 1708 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:35,720 Speaker 4: so powerful to do the stuff that he did. Now 1709 01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:43,479 Speaker 4: mind you some of the things that he initiated at first, 1710 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,880 Speaker 4: you know, once again, just like social Security when when 1711 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:52,519 Speaker 4: our FDR put him in black folks couldn't get they 1712 01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:55,720 Speaker 4: couldn't get that, the medical what's the name, early on, 1713 01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:57,800 Speaker 4: they couldn't they be you know what I'm saying. So 1714 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:02,280 Speaker 4: you know, there is there goes that fatalism that you 1715 01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,599 Speaker 4: were talking about about what we've been through and how 1716 01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 4: we you know, we we understand and am I saying 1717 01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:10,439 Speaker 4: this understanding? I think we're understanding. I'm saying, we know, 1718 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:15,240 Speaker 4: you know how policies that are supposed to help everybody 1719 01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:19,360 Speaker 4: don't always help everybody. And this is why we're able 1720 01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,360 Speaker 4: to look at I think Trump a bit more clearly. 1721 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,920 Speaker 4: There are there's still a pod of brothers who are 1722 01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:27,240 Speaker 4: MAGA who I think that you know, if they're not 1723 01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:31,000 Speaker 4: in on a griff, they're certainly you know they're they're 1724 01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:34,240 Speaker 4: they're delusional, But that's up to them, you know. I 1725 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,879 Speaker 4: think the rest of us are pretty pretty well solidified 1726 01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,160 Speaker 4: and understanding. That does mean we agree with everything else 1727 01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:42,400 Speaker 4: in the world, but we can't agree that there's a 1728 01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 4: danger that goes on with you know, looking towards what 1729 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,000 Speaker 4: MAGA and what Trump. 1730 01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:50,439 Speaker 5: Have to offer. 1731 01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:53,240 Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, Vice President Harrison did release 1732 01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:55,599 Speaker 4: the statement. In part of the statement, she said that 1733 01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:59,599 Speaker 4: the President is putting troops at risk, spending billions these 1734 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:03,040 Speaker 4: stables in a region and offering no legal authority, no 1735 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:06,720 Speaker 4: exit plan, and no benefit at home. He said, this 1736 01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:08,880 Speaker 4: is not about drugs and democracy. It's about oil and 1737 01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,479 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's desire to play the regional strong man. If 1738 01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:14,040 Speaker 4: he cared about either, he wouldn't pardon a convicted drug 1739 01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 4: draft drug trafficker. We talked about that earlier, the former 1740 01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:23,559 Speaker 4: leader of Honduras or who actually went to jail, who 1741 01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 4: was tried and convicted by the Biden administration. He wouldn't 1742 01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:31,040 Speaker 4: partner a convict drug dector or sideline Venezuela's legitimate opposition 1743 01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 4: while pursuing deals with Maduro cronies. And that's another thing, 1744 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,680 Speaker 4: you know, Malcolm Nance, I don't know if you know 1745 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 4: who he is a car I think you do, Carl. 1746 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:46,719 Speaker 4: He's a former special ops military man who became pretty 1747 01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 4: you know, famous for his talking head appearances all throughout 1748 01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:55,479 Speaker 4: our media. He actually pointed something out very important. He said, 1749 01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:00,960 Speaker 4: you know, Trump is not decapitating Venezuelan power. He just 1750 01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:02,720 Speaker 4: got rid of Maduro. He didn't get rid of any 1751 01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:05,280 Speaker 4: of the commanders that kept him in power. That's very 1752 01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:09,439 Speaker 4: important to understand, because what are you creating. If you're 1753 01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:12,679 Speaker 4: creating a vacuum, what you're going to see happen there 1754 01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:16,840 Speaker 4: is revolution unless those commanders are kind of brought to 1755 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,240 Speaker 4: heel or at least paid off by the entities that 1756 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:22,759 Speaker 4: are coming in, which is supposed to be the oil company. 1757 01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,920 Speaker 4: I mean, this is you know, this is remarkable that 1758 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,639 Speaker 4: this happened. In some of the language that is being 1759 01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:30,320 Speaker 4: used at this particular moment, this is stuff that would 1760 01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,880 Speaker 4: never have flown. Well, we're going to say what thirty 1761 01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:36,439 Speaker 4: years ago, the way that things have gone is just 1762 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:40,080 Speaker 4: it's just so crash and it's it's it's important that 1763 01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:43,600 Speaker 4: it's that it's actually being said out front, because, like 1764 01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:48,120 Speaker 4: you were saying, they're international crimes connected to this international war, 1765 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,000 Speaker 4: crimes connected to this. I mean, even down, I don't 1766 01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,519 Speaker 4: think people even understand. You're not supposed to frog march 1767 01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,200 Speaker 4: leaders and such, not as leaders and such, but you 1768 01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,759 Speaker 4: know prisoners when you take them prisons, you're not supposed 1769 01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:02,519 Speaker 4: to do that, and they certainly did that with Maduro. 1770 01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:03,400 Speaker 4: They certainly did that. 1771 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:08,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, as part of the plant to dehumanizing that was 1772 01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, Brandon, before we let you go, 1773 01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:16,000 Speaker 1: you're working on you're working on it for the Altadena fires. 1774 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:18,040 Speaker 1: Can you give us more information on that way? Can 1775 01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:18,439 Speaker 1: we see that? 1776 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:22,479 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, my, my, I'll put a link in when 1777 01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:25,760 Speaker 4: it's done for you so you can put it out. 1778 01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:29,680 Speaker 4: There's just it's just a piece in my experience in 1779 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,080 Speaker 4: dealing with the fire the first couple of days, and 1780 01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,800 Speaker 4: then later on what happened in the recovery, and then 1781 01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:37,639 Speaker 4: you know, what's going on today. Like I said, one 1782 01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:40,080 Speaker 4: of the most important stories that we've had out here 1783 01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 4: physically is that we've you know, had so much rain, 1784 01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:45,639 Speaker 4: a constant, consistent range, and that hasn't been storming. It's 1785 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,919 Speaker 4: not something you're going to read about in all the papers, 1786 01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,840 Speaker 4: but it's really really important. But you know, even even 1787 01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:54,080 Speaker 4: as a personal side, Carl, you know, I let my lawn, 1788 01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:58,280 Speaker 4: my backyard has overgrown with green because that was one 1789 01:39:58,280 --> 01:39:59,920 Speaker 4: of the things that I saw that that worked out 1790 01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,360 Speaker 4: as a retardant for some of the homes that didn't burn. 1791 01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 4: When I went and looked up and I also ran 1792 01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,639 Speaker 4: into a neighbor that's about a half a mile away 1793 01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,200 Speaker 4: from me or a mile away from excuse me, And 1794 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,719 Speaker 4: we had a conversation about those days and how one 1795 01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:18,479 Speaker 4: did this one the neighborhood was evacuated and one college 1796 01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:22,680 Speaker 4: kid stayed and when the fire jumped the street to 1797 01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:26,640 Speaker 4: a front lawn, he actually put the fire out. He 1798 01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:29,720 Speaker 4: used somebody's hose to put the fire out and possibly 1799 01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:33,599 Speaker 4: saved what could have probably would have ended up being, 1800 01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:37,759 Speaker 4: you know, the western half of Pasadena, a good chunk 1801 01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:40,000 Speaker 4: of the western Pasadena. He was the only cat there, 1802 01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:44,439 Speaker 4: the only one person. An extraordinary story, just an extraordinary story. 1803 01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 3: Sure. 1804 01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to talk about that as well later 1805 01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:49,920 Speaker 1: this week with one of the I guess you call 1806 01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 1: it her, a survivor of the Altadena fires. She's going 1807 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,519 Speaker 1: to be here this week. But Brandon, thank you again, 1808 01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:57,360 Speaker 1: and thank you for the information, and thank you for 1809 01:40:57,360 --> 01:40:59,599 Speaker 1: showing me around after the fires. We went out there, 1810 01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:02,840 Speaker 1: Brandon was my escort to show me how that because 1811 01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:05,120 Speaker 1: that's this neighborhood he lives in that was burned down, 1812 01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:08,599 Speaker 1: and all the is it back is that school back? Is? 1813 01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:11,360 Speaker 1: You showed me a school that was on the corner 1814 01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 1: and across the street from anything at all, this or 1815 01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:14,240 Speaker 1: a Bank of America. 1816 01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:22,080 Speaker 4: That's Elliott Elliott Elliott Middle School. They've actually done some demolition, 1817 01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,479 Speaker 4: demolition of the of the Great Hall. Uh So they're 1818 01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,479 Speaker 4: moving forward. There's a lot of some businesses are not. 1819 01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 4: And I explained that to you. I said, you know, 1820 01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:32,439 Speaker 4: especially with some of the homes. A lot of the 1821 01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:36,519 Speaker 4: people and businesses were asked rich and cash poor. Some 1822 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:41,560 Speaker 4: have sold, some haven't. That you know, there is a divide. 1823 01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:47,600 Speaker 4: There is a divide, uh in in in what strategies 1824 01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,320 Speaker 4: they should use, you know, me and you talked about 1825 01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,479 Speaker 4: that as well, because some black people say, hey, look, 1826 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:53,800 Speaker 4: we're gonna you know, we're gonna get up. But I 1827 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:55,360 Speaker 4: do want to say this one thing before I go. 1828 01:41:55,600 --> 01:42:00,040 Speaker 4: We went to a park called Charles White Park, and 1829 01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,120 Speaker 4: anybody can look him up. Charles White is one of 1830 01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:07,200 Speaker 4: the great artists, one of the great graphic artists as well, 1831 01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:10,080 Speaker 4: and of the United States. He's a black man, started 1832 01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:13,479 Speaker 4: in Chicago, actually started down south and ended up getting 1833 01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:16,559 Speaker 4: his bones in Chicago. And then he chose Alta Dina 1834 01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:20,880 Speaker 4: as his as his place to teach, as his ground 1835 01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:24,320 Speaker 4: zero to mentor people. And he's a brother and it 1836 01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:26,200 Speaker 4: is a is a black man that has a park 1837 01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:28,400 Speaker 4: up there, and I took Carl up there and we 1838 01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,400 Speaker 4: just looked at because some of the area around him 1839 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,240 Speaker 4: was completely flattened, but the park, of course, being in park, 1840 01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:37,519 Speaker 4: it stayed stayed together. But as a very if anyone 1841 01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:39,840 Speaker 4: want to call it, any kind of thing connecting with 1842 01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:42,920 Speaker 4: the ancestors to be able to stand there at the 1843 01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:46,240 Speaker 4: very least and say, okay, maybe we can rebuild around here. 1844 01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 4: So I think that they're going. They still have a 1845 01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:52,680 Speaker 4: lot Carl ahead of them. I don't know financially how 1846 01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:56,439 Speaker 4: it's going to, you know, play out. A lot of 1847 01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:58,800 Speaker 4: people are still trying to stay strong and stay in 1848 01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:00,439 Speaker 4: the neighborhood, so we'll see. I have a lot of 1849 01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:02,040 Speaker 4: family up there, like I told you, you know, I 1850 01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,160 Speaker 4: spent a great deal of my youth up there. 1851 01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:06,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, Brandon, thanks for sharing that with 1852 01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:07,599 Speaker 1: us this morning. 1853 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:10,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, take care of Car all right, Fain. 1854 01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:12,599 Speaker 1: That's the political block of Brandon thirteen at the top. Now, 1855 01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:16,000 Speaker 1: let's bringing doctor Gerald Horn, doctor Horn, Grant Rising, welcome 1856 01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:16,960 Speaker 1: back to the program. 1857 01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,040 Speaker 7: How are you for inviting me, Doctor Horn? 1858 01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:22,200 Speaker 1: First off the bat, we are you surprised what happened 1859 01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:27,400 Speaker 1: with the man with Mandu Wait, does is that shock 1860 01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:29,320 Speaker 1: you or did you expect that at some point that 1861 01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:30,880 Speaker 1: was down the road that was part of the plan 1862 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:32,360 Speaker 1: for this administration. 1863 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 15: Well, I expected what they call in the Pentagon kinetic action, 1864 01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:41,440 Speaker 15: that is to say, I expected bombings, perhaps an invasion, 1865 01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:47,600 Speaker 15: And I was not necessarily shocked by the chipnapping of 1866 01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:51,360 Speaker 15: President Maduro and his spouse. Of course, they'll be entering 1867 01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:55,800 Speaker 15: a courthouse in Manhattan within the next hour or so. 1868 01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,559 Speaker 15: It was a blatant violation of US law, a blatant 1869 01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:04,320 Speaker 15: violation of international law. Mister Trump has gone further to 1870 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:09,559 Speaker 15: threaten other nations in the hemisphere, including Mexico, Colombia, Cuba. 1871 01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:15,200 Speaker 15: Of course, it is not necessarily going to play well 1872 01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:20,520 Speaker 15: around the world. There's been condemnation from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Cuba. 1873 01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:25,240 Speaker 15: Of course, the Europeans, particularly the French, have been relatively 1874 01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:27,600 Speaker 15: mute because recalled that it was about a decade and 1875 01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:32,400 Speaker 15: a half or so that French paratroopers went into Cote 1876 01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:37,320 Speaker 15: de Vois Ivory coast and kidnapped the presidential candidate Laurent 1877 01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:39,880 Speaker 15: Bacco and his spouse, took them off to the Hague 1878 01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:42,559 Speaker 15: to stand trial, and of course they were acquitted and 1879 01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,960 Speaker 15: are back in their homeland. But in any event, we're 1880 01:44:46,560 --> 01:44:52,640 Speaker 15: entering a very dangerous new moment because if kidnapping of 1881 01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:57,360 Speaker 15: leaders is fair play, that won't necessarily just be outside 1882 01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,000 Speaker 15: of the United States. That could easily take place inside 1883 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:01,200 Speaker 15: at the United States. 1884 01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,479 Speaker 1: M check that fifteen and a half that topic, uh, 1885 01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:07,920 Speaker 1: doctor Horn. The UN is going to meet today at 1886 01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 1: the same time that Madua is going to be uh 1887 01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:14,879 Speaker 1: facing these charges in in the other part of Manhattan 1888 01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:18,200 Speaker 1: and Lower Manhattan. What's what's what can they u N 1889 01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:20,880 Speaker 1: do though? Can you just pass the resolution condemned him? 1890 01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:24,840 Speaker 1: It is it just tooth listen? Can they the u N, 1891 01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, imposed restrictions, do anything about what Donald Trump 1892 01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:31,240 Speaker 1: is doing because he's doing with unchecked impunity. What can 1893 01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:32,720 Speaker 1: the United Nations do. 1894 01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:38,040 Speaker 15: Well, it's at the Security Council, and Security Council is split. 1895 01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:41,400 Speaker 15: That's to say that the United States has a veto 1896 01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:46,799 Speaker 15: number one, number two. It's unclear if other permanent members 1897 01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:53,840 Speaker 15: such as Britain and France would ratify an anti US resolution. 1898 01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:57,400 Speaker 15: So there will be a lot of far breathing rhetoric. 1899 01:45:58,160 --> 01:46:01,080 Speaker 15: But I think that you have to look at what's 1900 01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:08,600 Speaker 15: happening incrementally. Increasingly, the United States is becoming isolated. Increasingly 1901 01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:14,160 Speaker 15: countries are looking to China and Russia for protection and 1902 01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,959 Speaker 15: that does not necessarily bode well for Washington. 1903 01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:21,320 Speaker 1: All Right, we come up with a break, Dr Horn family, 1904 01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:23,040 Speaker 1: You want to get in on this conversation with our 1905 01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:26,040 Speaker 1: guest is doctor Gerald Horney teaching the University of Houston. 1906 01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:28,519 Speaker 1: So about we're talking about what's going on in the 1907 01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:32,599 Speaker 1: world today, geopolitical analyst as well also an attorney, Doctor Horn. 1908 01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:34,760 Speaker 1: When you come back though the role of China and 1909 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,360 Speaker 1: Russia in this, because we understand the Russians are just there. 1910 01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:41,960 Speaker 1: The Chinese delegation just left, just left Venezuela just days 1911 01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:45,120 Speaker 1: before he was abducted. So I want you to get 1912 01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:47,160 Speaker 1: to your thoughts on that does how does that change 1913 01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:51,799 Speaker 1: the global landscape now with what happened with the Manduro family. 1914 01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:53,560 Speaker 1: You want to get in on this conversation again.

But the question I had for you before 1928 01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,880 Speaker 1: we left for the break, Dr Horn, China and Russia, 1929 01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:34,920 Speaker 1: what are their roles? What do you see their roles 1930 01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:35,160 Speaker 1: in it? 1931 01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:35,880 Speaker 15: Uh? 1932 01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:38,880 Speaker 1: In what happened? You think they're going to speak out 1933 01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:44,439 Speaker 1: because the Chinese were supporting Mandala sporting Venezuela. Do you 1934 01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:46,840 Speaker 1: see do you see any changes there? What do you see? 1935 01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:48,720 Speaker 1: What are you looking through your crystal ball? What do 1936 01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:49,200 Speaker 1: you see? 1937 01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:53,400 Speaker 15: Well, you may recall that just before President of Maduro 1938 01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:57,120 Speaker 15: was kidnapped, he was meeting with Chinese representatives. That is 1939 01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:01,040 Speaker 15: to say that they were conferring because Venezuela is a 1940 01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:08,000 Speaker 15: major supplier of oil to China. Russia, of course, issues 1941 01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:13,800 Speaker 15: a stinging condemnation of this blatant violation of international law, 1942 01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:18,360 Speaker 15: and it's unclear, however, what they can do. However, we 1943 01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:22,760 Speaker 15: do know that the People's Bank in Beijing helps to 1944 01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:27,000 Speaker 15: support the United States government by buying US debt. That 1945 01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:30,040 Speaker 15: is powerful leverage. You may recall that the South Korean 1946 01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:35,519 Speaker 15: summit just in this fall from with President Trump and 1947 01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:40,799 Speaker 15: President Jing that basically United States cried up because China 1948 01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:46,480 Speaker 15: supplies rare earths that are essential for the production of smartphones, automobiles, 1949 01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:50,559 Speaker 15: the US military industrial complex, et cetera, and so China 1950 01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:53,320 Speaker 15: has a lot of leverage over the United States economy. 1951 01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:59,000 Speaker 15: It's unclear, well, whether they'll will apply it. They may 1952 01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:02,679 Speaker 15: wait until the United States picks off all of their 1953 01:49:02,720 --> 01:49:06,360 Speaker 15: allies like Venezuela and then comes after China, but then 1954 01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:11,240 Speaker 15: China will be at a disadvantageous position. I don't think 1955 01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:13,479 Speaker 15: that they'll wait for that disadvantageous moment. 1956 01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:17,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, because both China and Russia demanded that the United 1957 01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:20,960 Speaker 1: States release Mandua in just releasing a flat that's what 1958 01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,760 Speaker 1: they're saying. But how does this impact say, Cuba and 1959 01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:27,760 Speaker 1: all these other countries that Colombia that Donald Trump is 1960 01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:31,840 Speaker 1: threatening and they get well from Venezuela. How's that going 1961 01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:32,679 Speaker 1: to do go down? 1962 01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:36,360 Speaker 15: Well? You may recall it the marl Lago press conference 1963 01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:40,800 Speaker 15: on Saturday. Marco Rubia, who happens to be a Cuban extraction, 1964 01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:45,719 Speaker 15: was explicit and suggesting that the leaders of Havana should 1965 01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:48,439 Speaker 15: be worried. That that has been echoed by President Trump 1966 01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:52,960 Speaker 15: as a moral Lago press conference with his usual profane style, 1967 01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:57,120 Speaker 15: mister Trump suggests that President Petro of Columbia should quote 1968 01:49:57,160 --> 01:50:02,520 Speaker 15: watch its ass unquote. But this story is still unfolding, 1969 01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:06,720 Speaker 15: that is to say, with regard to the hearing in 1970 01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:11,400 Speaker 15: Lower Manhattan today, it's unclear to me if there will 1971 01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:15,400 Speaker 15: be enough evidence to convict President maduroll Now the trial 1972 01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:20,240 Speaker 15: will be elongated, mister Mdua may not be released until 1973 01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:24,760 Speaker 15: mister Trump leaves office. But that would be quite an embarrassment, 1974 01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:31,880 Speaker 15: obviously to Washington, and I have suggested publicly that the 1975 01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:37,200 Speaker 15: Maduro defense team should be consulting with the top lawyers 1976 01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:39,320 Speaker 15: across the United States, because one thing I know about 1977 01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:41,920 Speaker 15: lawyers is they'd like to be involved in cases that 1978 01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:46,040 Speaker 15: get newspaper headlines for various reasons, and that would be 1979 01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:50,519 Speaker 15: quite an embarrassment. Indeed, if mister Maduro is able to walk, 1980 01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:53,160 Speaker 15: although it may not happen anytime soon. 1981 01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:58,400 Speaker 1: Do you see any lawyers though, that would decided to 1982 01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:01,040 Speaker 1: fend against Trump. It seems like they all fall in 1983 01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:01,680 Speaker 1: line against it. 1984 01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:06,960 Speaker 15: I mean, we'll see what happens. I know one of 1985 01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:10,680 Speaker 15: the lawyers will be at the hearing today. I'm not 1986 01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,719 Speaker 15: sure what the other lawyers will be. I have suggested 1987 01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:16,240 Speaker 15: that the Extent for Constitutional Rights, which is a left 1988 01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:21,439 Speaker 15: leaning public interests law firm headquartered to Manhattan, coordinate the defense, 1989 01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:26,360 Speaker 15: that they should reach out to top lawyers like Theodore Wells, 1990 01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:32,680 Speaker 15: who's also headquartered in Manhattan, probably the top lawyer this 1991 01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:36,040 Speaker 15: trial lawyer in the United States. I doubt that then 1992 01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:39,000 Speaker 15: Crump will be interested in this case because he has 1993 01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:42,479 Speaker 15: enough on his plate, But there will be many lawyers 1994 01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:45,879 Speaker 15: who will be begging to become involved in this defense 1995 01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:49,040 Speaker 15: because it may wind up being the trial of the century. 1996 01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:53,160 Speaker 1: Gotcha twenty five at the top there. Tyrone's checking in 1997 01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:55,960 Speaker 1: from Baltimore has a question for his online three Grand 1998 01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:58,160 Speaker 1: Rising Tyrone with doctor Gerald Horn. 1999 01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:02,360 Speaker 16: Yes, yeah, that's a diff question, But Carl I sent 2000 01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:04,599 Speaker 16: you a copy of the speech Fericon made about this 2001 01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:07,800 Speaker 16: and the honorable mess of Lewis Fera Coon made about 2002 01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:12,559 Speaker 16: this in twenty nineteen when doing Trump forty five and 2003 01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:14,559 Speaker 16: Trump Trump was thinking about this for a long time, 2004 01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:17,720 Speaker 16: and he actually warned that they need to keep their 2005 01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:20,160 Speaker 16: hands off Venezuela and trying to stop trying to steal 2006 01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:22,920 Speaker 16: people's oil, you know. And he also says sayd that 2007 01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:27,120 Speaker 16: Jimmy Carter reviewed the elections. 2008 01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:30,360 Speaker 3: For Venezuela and that Jimmy Carter himself said that that's 2009 01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:36,400 Speaker 3: one of the most open and honest elections he's actually inspected. 2010 01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:39,120 Speaker 3: So the all of this scruggled. But about he's not 2011 01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:42,040 Speaker 3: the fair president. It's probably I'm just flapping the wins 2012 01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:44,960 Speaker 3: when you go into your investigation. I did have a 2013 01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:46,000 Speaker 3: question with regard to. 2014 01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:51,600 Speaker 16: Venezuela possibly become a member of the Bricks. They're not 2015 01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:54,680 Speaker 16: a member now because Brazil has not approved it, but 2016 01:52:54,720 --> 01:52:57,080 Speaker 16: this may force them to become a member. And I 2017 01:52:57,080 --> 01:52:59,840 Speaker 16: also would like the doctors take on what would happen 2018 01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:03,120 Speaker 16: if we if these other countries de dollar rise and 2019 01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:06,400 Speaker 16: explains their ways, what dedourization means in regards to the 2020 01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:07,240 Speaker 16: United States. 2021 01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:09,880 Speaker 3: I think my aunt Saltaire, thank you. 2022 01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:12,519 Speaker 4: Well. 2023 01:53:12,640 --> 01:53:17,880 Speaker 15: It was already reported that Venezuela was moving away from 2024 01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:22,679 Speaker 15: using the dollar in terms of petroleum sales, for example. 2025 01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:27,400 Speaker 15: He may recall that whenever there's talk about a regime 2026 01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:30,160 Speaker 15: moving away from the dollar, recall what happened to limbya 2027 01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:33,480 Speaker 15: more than a decade and a half ago under Kadafi, 2028 01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:36,880 Speaker 15: when there was talk in Triple Lee about moving away 2029 01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:41,840 Speaker 15: from the dollar sooner rather than later. Mister Kadafi was dead. 2030 01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:46,120 Speaker 15: But we also have to put this in a wider context. 2031 01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:48,559 Speaker 15: You may recall that just a few days ago, mister 2032 01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:52,400 Speaker 15: Trump issued his national security strategy, and to the surprise 2033 01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:55,760 Speaker 15: of many, he did not have Russia, North China and 2034 01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:59,639 Speaker 15: the crossairs. I think it's because he recognized that it's 2035 01:53:59,640 --> 01:54:03,839 Speaker 15: a fool errand to confront those two giants frontally. Instead, 2036 01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:07,080 Speaker 15: he said there should be a concentration on this hemisphere. 2037 01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:11,679 Speaker 15: The so called Monroe doctrine of two years ago, which 2038 01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:16,400 Speaker 15: he now calls the Dunroad doctrine, for example, and the 2039 01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:21,120 Speaker 15: kidnapping of Maduro is the first expression of this national 2040 01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:27,040 Speaker 15: security strategy, which is seeking to confront Russia and China 2041 01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:33,440 Speaker 15: through the back door by basically destabilizing each and every 2042 01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:37,120 Speaker 15: ally of Russia and China, because it won't stop with Maduro, 2043 01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:41,360 Speaker 15: it won't stop with Mexico or Cuba. If I were 2044 01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:45,680 Speaker 15: Ibraham Trory and Burkina Fossil, I'd be beefing up my security. 2045 01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:50,280 Speaker 15: Even President Ramaposa in South Africa should be concerned, given 2046 01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:54,640 Speaker 15: how he was ambushed in the Oval office. Even Canada 2047 01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,600 Speaker 15: should be concerned given the fact that mister Trump has 2048 01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:01,360 Speaker 15: expressed interest in Canada becoming the fifty first state. So 2049 01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:05,600 Speaker 15: we're in the law of the jungle right now, and 2050 01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:08,840 Speaker 15: I guarantee you it would not end well for Washington. 2051 01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:12,840 Speaker 1: All right. Twenty a half the top Tyrone implied it, 2052 01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,360 Speaker 1: but it didn't really ask it out straight. Is it 2053 01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:17,360 Speaker 1: all about the oil or is there something else going 2054 01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:18,800 Speaker 1: on here that we should know about. 2055 01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:22,000 Speaker 15: Doctor Horne, Well, it's about the oil. It's about gold. 2056 01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:27,400 Speaker 15: Venezuela has gold, Venezuela has rare earth. It's about sending 2057 01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:32,080 Speaker 15: a message to other nations, particularly Brazil. Brazil was obviously 2058 01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:37,200 Speaker 15: short sighted in blocking Venezuela joining the bricks, and of 2059 01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:41,480 Speaker 15: course it is seeded to Argentina joining the bricks. That 2060 01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:44,760 Speaker 15: was before the election of Trump ally president in Malay, 2061 01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:48,839 Speaker 15: but still there was a blunder by President Luma of Brazil, 2062 01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,600 Speaker 15: and as used to be said in the nineteenth century, 2063 01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:54,280 Speaker 15: you only have to beat once slave to keep the 2064 01:55:54,400 --> 01:56:00,320 Speaker 15: entire plantation in line. And this kidnapping of ahead of date, 2065 01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:04,240 Speaker 15: since a message to other leaders recalled that this is 2066 01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:08,640 Speaker 15: not new. Geronimo the great Native American leader, he was 2067 01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:13,400 Speaker 15: kidnapped and basically died in prison. Oceola, who was a 2068 01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:16,800 Speaker 15: Native American leader from Florida in the Antebellum period and 2069 01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:20,840 Speaker 15: happened to be a partial African ancestry. He had come 2070 01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:26,600 Speaker 15: to peace talks with the US piers and counterparts and 2071 01:56:26,720 --> 01:56:30,960 Speaker 15: instead was kidnapped and wound up in prison. In fact, 2072 01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:35,400 Speaker 15: he was decapitate it literally, So this is nothing new 2073 01:56:35,600 --> 01:56:39,160 Speaker 15: what has happened to President Maduro, but I guarantee you 2074 01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:41,000 Speaker 15: it will not end well for Washington. 2075 01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:44,480 Speaker 1: Thirty minutes at the top of our family just joined us. 2076 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:46,400 Speaker 1: I guess it's doctor Gerald Horn from the University of 2077 01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:48,480 Speaker 1: Houston got a question of comic reach out to us 2078 01:56:48,560 --> 01:56:52,080 Speaker 1: at eight hundred and four five zero seventy eight seventy six. 2079 01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:54,560 Speaker 1: Eric's calling us from Long Beach in California has a 2080 01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:57,760 Speaker 1: question for doctor Horne. He's online four Grand Rising Eric 2081 01:56:57,960 --> 01:56:59,400 Speaker 1: a question for doctor horn. 2082 01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:04,760 Speaker 17: Good morning, Grand Rising to you and your guests. Seemed 2083 01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:09,120 Speaker 17: like doctor Hornon's brought in some old old world politics 2084 01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:15,400 Speaker 17: and showing how they, you know, related to today. Well, 2085 01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:21,280 Speaker 17: my question is, uh, what is what is Congress going 2086 01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:25,840 Speaker 17: to do? Do you think Congress it's going to go 2087 01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:30,680 Speaker 17: back and institute it's prerogatives coming out of the out 2088 01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:32,560 Speaker 17: of the House. Of course, we're supposed to have all, 2089 01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:35,760 Speaker 17: you know, three branches of equal, co equal branch of government, 2090 01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:42,520 Speaker 17: but apparently just rolled over. So my question is when 2091 01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:46,360 Speaker 17: do you think the Republicans is going to actually remember 2092 01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:49,400 Speaker 17: that they are co equal branch of government and put 2093 01:57:49,480 --> 01:57:54,360 Speaker 17: a check on what mister Trump is doing. Now take 2094 01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:58,240 Speaker 17: the answer off there, Well, don't. 2095 01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:02,240 Speaker 15: Hold your breast. Was a republic can control Congress to 2096 01:58:02,360 --> 01:58:06,600 Speaker 15: show some backbone and spine. Although going out the door, 2097 01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:10,840 Speaker 15: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who is retiring from Congress as 2098 01:58:10,840 --> 01:58:15,360 Speaker 15: of today, was critical of this violation of international law. 2099 01:58:15,400 --> 01:58:19,240 Speaker 15: Senator Mike Lee of Utah was critical. Of course, a 2100 01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:24,080 Speaker 15: host of Democrats have been critical, starting with Kamala Harris, 2101 01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:28,960 Speaker 15: the former Vice president. But I don't necessarily expect any 2102 01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:33,240 Speaker 15: sort of muscularity from Congress with regard to this blatant 2103 01:58:33,320 --> 01:58:37,879 Speaker 15: violation of international law. With regard to the lower courts, 2104 01:58:38,120 --> 01:58:42,800 Speaker 15: they've been showing some originality and creativity. That's why I 2105 01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:47,040 Speaker 15: don't rule out the possibility of a fair hearing as 2106 01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:50,920 Speaker 15: federal court. It depends on the draw of the judge 2107 01:58:51,120 --> 01:58:53,960 Speaker 15: who the judge will be. With regard to the US 2108 01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:58,680 Speaker 15: Supreme Court, a so called coequal branch of the government, 2109 01:58:59,720 --> 01:59:04,480 Speaker 15: they with their sixth person conservative majority, have given thumbs 2110 01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:08,560 Speaker 15: up to fundamentally every hair brain scheme that the Republican 2111 01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:13,360 Speaker 15: writers come up with. So we are not in a 2112 01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:14,560 Speaker 15: good way right now. 2113 01:59:16,080 --> 01:59:18,640 Speaker 1: Wow, twenty eight away from the top that with doctor 2114 01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:20,960 Speaker 1: Gerald Horn. Doctor Horn a tweet question for you two, 2115 01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:23,400 Speaker 1: and I says, what do you think if he takes Cuba, 2116 01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:25,600 Speaker 1: the Cubans here would love him again? Do you think 2117 01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:28,200 Speaker 1: if that's that's in the cars? Oh, this is all 2118 01:59:28,280 --> 01:59:29,320 Speaker 1: by Marco Rubio. 2119 01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:36,680 Speaker 15: Well, many commentators have pointed out that when you had 2120 01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:42,000 Speaker 15: the invading force early Saturday morning, January third, that you 2121 01:59:42,080 --> 01:59:46,520 Speaker 15: have these slow moving Chinook helicopters flying low through the 2122 01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:52,160 Speaker 15: skies of Caracas that apparently were not shot at, and 2123 01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:54,600 Speaker 15: that has raised a number of questions, but in any case, 2124 01:59:54,640 --> 01:59:58,960 Speaker 15: don't expect that sort of reaction in Havana. As a 2125 01:59:58,960 --> 02:00:03,680 Speaker 15: matter of fact, South Florida, he West, might wind up 2126 02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:09,240 Speaker 15: being attacked because Cuba is only ninety miles away, for example, 2127 02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:14,120 Speaker 15: and that gives it a strategic advantage in terms of 2128 02:00:14,160 --> 02:00:16,440 Speaker 15: a possible potential US strike. 2129 02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:22,120 Speaker 1: Now, does Cuba have the weaponry to do that, Doctor Horn. 2130 02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:27,840 Speaker 15: Absolutely they do. I mean, the Cuban military is really 2131 02:00:27,880 --> 02:00:32,080 Speaker 15: the power behind the throne in Havana, just like in Venezuela, 2132 02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:37,040 Speaker 15: the Venezuelan military is the power behind the throne. They've 2133 02:00:37,080 --> 02:00:41,480 Speaker 15: been politicized since the days of former leader Hugo Chavez 2134 02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:46,160 Speaker 15: and recalled that when the US forces is struck on Saturday, 2135 02:00:46,320 --> 02:00:51,360 Speaker 15: they also bomb the mausoleum honoring Hugo Chavez as well 2136 02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:56,840 Speaker 15: as a final insult to the Venezuelan people. And the 2137 02:00:56,960 --> 02:01:02,640 Speaker 15: Cuban military is locked and loaded. And I would really 2138 02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:07,440 Speaker 15: caution mister Trump, who is obviously a feeling his oats 2139 02:01:07,520 --> 02:01:13,959 Speaker 15: right now, although once again he hasn't contemplated what comes 2140 02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:19,760 Speaker 15: the day after the Chavistas are still in power. The 2141 02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:24,360 Speaker 15: new president Deli Rodriguez has issued stinging condemnations on the 2142 02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:27,240 Speaker 15: one hand of the kidnapping of mister Maduro. On the 2143 02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:32,640 Speaker 15: other hand, she's pledged cooperation. There is daylight between Secretary 2144 02:01:32,680 --> 02:01:36,800 Speaker 15: of State Marco Rubio, who says that no, contrary to 2145 02:01:36,840 --> 02:01:39,160 Speaker 15: mister Trump, they won't be running the government. They'll just 2146 02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:42,560 Speaker 15: be coercing the government. Mister Trump continues to insist they'll 2147 02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:44,480 Speaker 15: be running the government, But I don't see how they 2148 02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,560 Speaker 15: can run the government when Chavistas is still in power, 2149 02:01:48,520 --> 02:01:51,880 Speaker 15: when there are no US forces on the ground in 2150 02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:58,720 Speaker 15: Caracas to ouse the Chavistas. So mister Trump is delusional. 2151 02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Even when he mentions that they're going to take over 2152 02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:05,839 Speaker 1: the oil industry in Venezuela. It seems like it, he says, 2153 02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:09,280 Speaker 1: a courting him our oil. I guess executives are going 2154 02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:11,840 Speaker 1: to be running the oil industry in Venezuela. But it 2155 02:02:11,840 --> 02:02:14,800 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he has a plan. I guess maybe 2156 02:02:14,840 --> 02:02:16,600 Speaker 1: a concept of a plan. How do you see all 2157 02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:16,880 Speaker 1: of that? 2158 02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:21,600 Speaker 15: Well, it's interesting. Jeffrey Sonnensfell, who is at the Yale 2159 02:02:22,240 --> 02:02:25,920 Speaker 15: School of Management, the Business School, is should along memoranda 2160 02:02:26,520 --> 02:02:31,400 Speaker 15: to us CEO's telling them to be cautious and commenting 2161 02:02:31,480 --> 02:02:34,680 Speaker 15: on what's happening in Venezuela. Because there's a lot of 2162 02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:39,160 Speaker 15: outrage on the streets of Latin America about what's happened, 2163 02:02:39,280 --> 02:02:43,880 Speaker 15: is reflected in the condemnations coming from otherwise cautious leaders 2164 02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:50,640 Speaker 15: like President Lula. This whole idea of kidnapping leaders could 2165 02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:56,080 Speaker 15: boomerang tremendously. You could see a wave of kidnappings of 2166 02:02:56,200 --> 02:02:59,160 Speaker 15: US CEOs, and that's what Jeffrey sonnens Fell was hinting at. 2167 02:02:59,280 --> 02:03:03,480 Speaker 15: For example, and with regard to the United States seizing 2168 02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:10,240 Speaker 15: the oil, well, mister Mdua has offered, quite frankly, that 2169 02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:14,360 Speaker 15: he was willing to share the oil bounty with the 2170 02:03:14,440 --> 02:03:19,120 Speaker 15: US oil companies. So obviously there's more at play than 2171 02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:22,720 Speaker 15: just seizing the oil. Also at play is a demonstration 2172 02:03:22,880 --> 02:03:27,040 Speaker 15: project to send a message to other nations in the 2173 02:03:27,080 --> 02:03:31,960 Speaker 15: hemisphere that they should not align with Cuba nor Russia 2174 02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:35,560 Speaker 15: lest they face the fate of mister Maduro. 2175 02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:38,880 Speaker 1: All right, hold that though, right there, twenty three away 2176 02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:40,080 Speaker 1: from the top of that way, take a show up 2177 02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:41,520 Speaker 1: and we come back that I once you break that down, 2178 02:03:41,560 --> 02:03:42,840 Speaker 1: I got a bunch of folks who want to talk 2179 02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:44,440 Speaker 1: to you family.

I'll 2207 02:04:56,480 --> 02:05:02,360 Speaker 18: say my comment first. When Donald Trump had an interview 2208 02:05:02,520 --> 02:05:10,240 Speaker 18: after the Venezuela invasion, he was counted mentioning oil twenty 2209 02:05:10,280 --> 02:05:20,960 Speaker 18: five times in one news interview with reporters, and he 2210 02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:24,120 Speaker 18: used drugs in the beginning. And now we see it 2211 02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:28,920 Speaker 18: was always about the oil all the time. Now we 2212 02:05:29,080 --> 02:05:30,920 Speaker 18: have to take him at his word at some point 2213 02:05:31,040 --> 02:05:33,400 Speaker 18: what he say out of his mouth. So he just 2214 02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:40,080 Speaker 18: said again about the leader of Columbia. He need to 2215 02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:44,520 Speaker 18: watch his ass. This is his words. Now he's planning 2216 02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:49,800 Speaker 18: to go take the cocaine. He's a war criminal. Now 2217 02:05:49,960 --> 02:05:52,440 Speaker 18: what I say to I ask of you. My question 2218 02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:56,839 Speaker 18: to you, Doctor Horn, is it's been on this radio 2219 02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:01,120 Speaker 18: to debate back and forth everyone who has come on 2220 02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:04,400 Speaker 18: this show. If I get the chance, I'll ask the question. 2221 02:06:04,560 --> 02:06:08,680 Speaker 18: But it has been asked, should black people join the 2222 02:06:08,840 --> 02:06:13,840 Speaker 18: US military? And those of us who stand against joining 2223 02:06:13,920 --> 02:06:17,760 Speaker 18: it and know that it's not going to be any 2224 02:06:17,840 --> 02:06:20,640 Speaker 18: kind of Spook who sat beside the door, as if 2225 02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:24,080 Speaker 18: you're going to infiltrate this military, that's not what we're doing. 2226 02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:27,480 Speaker 18: We're looking at it as we're getting a job, a 2227 02:06:27,480 --> 02:06:31,280 Speaker 18: good job, we need a job, or like Geronimo Pratt, 2228 02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:35,680 Speaker 18: get the training and then use it for whatever. But 2229 02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:39,720 Speaker 18: Dick Gregory said, the blood is on your hands. This 2230 02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:43,000 Speaker 18: is why we stand against going into the US military 2231 02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:47,760 Speaker 18: because of these type of activities in this country as 2232 02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:51,080 Speaker 18: a history of this. So that's my question to you, 2233 02:06:51,200 --> 02:06:55,160 Speaker 18: should black people join the US military and be a 2234 02:06:55,240 --> 02:06:56,400 Speaker 18: part of this crack? 2235 02:06:58,480 --> 02:07:00,120 Speaker 1: All right? Thanks Reggie. 2236 02:07:01,200 --> 02:07:04,720 Speaker 15: Well, obviously I'm sympathetic to what Bregie is saying. I mean, 2237 02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:07,520 Speaker 15: first of all, it's a very dangerous job to be 2238 02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:11,720 Speaker 15: shot at to being pounded. For example, look at all 2239 02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:15,240 Speaker 15: of the body bags that are flown into Dover, Delaware 2240 02:07:15,520 --> 02:07:18,800 Speaker 15: on a regular basis, most recently a week or so ago. 2241 02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:23,120 Speaker 15: Recall what happened in Syria when you had these folks 2242 02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:29,320 Speaker 15: from the National Guard who were shot allegedly by US 2243 02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:33,120 Speaker 15: Allied forces. It's not only the US military, it's also Ice. 2244 02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:38,440 Speaker 15: ICE is offering fifty thousand dollars bonuses. That is to say, 2245 02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:42,600 Speaker 15: the immigration authorities were engaged in roundups and Chicago, Los 2246 02:07:42,640 --> 02:07:46,960 Speaker 15: Angeles and other major cities. So I would be very 2247 02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:51,920 Speaker 15: reluctant to give advice to join the US military or 2248 02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:53,920 Speaker 15: to join the immigration authorities. 2249 02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:54,040 Speaker 3: For that matter. 2250 02:07:55,600 --> 02:07:57,880 Speaker 1: Doctor Hall, let me ask you this question. What we're 2251 02:07:57,920 --> 02:08:01,120 Speaker 1: seeing now with the Venisraeli because at first he went 2252 02:08:01,160 --> 02:08:04,880 Speaker 1: in on the pretense that they're with the drugs coming 2253 02:08:04,880 --> 02:08:08,080 Speaker 1: from the country from Venezuela. Is the same thing what 2254 02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:12,600 Speaker 1: happened with the records of mass destruction during the Bush 2255 02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:16,760 Speaker 1: years in two thousand and three, saying that they had 2256 02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:20,760 Speaker 1: all these weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and he 2257 02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:23,320 Speaker 1: proved out, you know when we were calling power, Remember 2258 02:08:23,320 --> 02:08:25,040 Speaker 1: we had all that, the whole that thing, and then 2259 02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:27,360 Speaker 1: that's why they went in there in Iraq. Is this 2260 02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:31,760 Speaker 1: what we're seeing a replay just using different circumstances in Venezuela. 2261 02:08:32,840 --> 02:08:36,800 Speaker 15: What do you think history is repeating itself? Mister Trump 2262 02:08:36,880 --> 02:08:42,040 Speaker 15: is echoing George W. Bush in talking loosely about mission 2263 02:08:42,040 --> 02:08:46,120 Speaker 15: accomplished in terms of kidnapping mister Maduro and the spouse. 2264 02:08:46,880 --> 02:08:50,040 Speaker 15: But there's little understanding or recognition of what comes the 2265 02:08:50,120 --> 02:08:53,000 Speaker 15: day after. It's going to be even more complicated in 2266 02:08:53,160 --> 02:08:58,760 Speaker 15: Venezuela because, as noted, the Madua comrades still hold the 2267 02:08:58,840 --> 02:09:02,920 Speaker 15: reins of power, and they do not seem reluctant to 2268 02:09:02,960 --> 02:09:04,560 Speaker 15: give up the reigns of power. As a matter of fact, 2269 02:09:04,600 --> 02:09:07,800 Speaker 15: what I predict is that there will be a rallying 2270 02:09:08,200 --> 02:09:14,520 Speaker 15: around the regime in Caracas, not only by Russia and China, 2271 02:09:14,600 --> 02:09:18,560 Speaker 15: but by Brazil, which is noted, has been hesitant up 2272 02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:21,280 Speaker 15: until a day or two ago to express all with 2273 02:09:21,360 --> 02:09:27,240 Speaker 15: dearity with Venezuela and of course Venezuelan and Brazils Sarah 2274 02:09:27,320 --> 02:09:30,840 Speaker 15: lynthy border. So I think this is going to backfire 2275 02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:35,720 Speaker 15: against Washington in many ways and once again flagged the 2276 02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:42,680 Speaker 15: issue of US allies, including US corporate executives, being subjected 2277 02:09:42,800 --> 02:09:44,760 Speaker 15: to kidnapping and retaliation. 2278 02:09:46,520 --> 02:09:48,800 Speaker 1: Well, do you think we'll see a Trump tow as 2279 02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:51,080 Speaker 1: a Trump hotel in downtown Caracas? 2280 02:09:53,120 --> 02:09:57,680 Speaker 15: Well, it depends President Rodriguez, and Caracas has made it 2281 02:09:57,720 --> 02:10:02,920 Speaker 15: clear that her regime is willing to cooperate in collaboration 2282 02:10:03,560 --> 02:10:08,040 Speaker 15: with the US authorities, and so if it's mutually advantageous, 2283 02:10:08,160 --> 02:10:12,839 Speaker 15: I could see that happening possibly, But given mister Trump's 2284 02:10:12,920 --> 02:10:18,240 Speaker 15: bellicost and hostile rhetoric towards the regime who recalled that 2285 02:10:18,520 --> 02:10:20,720 Speaker 15: in an interview with The Atlantic just the other day. 2286 02:10:21,240 --> 02:10:25,280 Speaker 15: He says that as President Rorigez doesn't play ball, show 2287 02:10:25,640 --> 02:10:28,880 Speaker 15: face a fate more dire than that of mister Maduro 2288 02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:33,040 Speaker 15: and his spell. He's basically suggesting that she might be assassinated. 2289 02:10:34,120 --> 02:10:37,960 Speaker 15: That's not the kind of rhetoric that guarantees collaboration and cooperation. 2290 02:10:39,640 --> 02:10:42,640 Speaker 1: Gotcha twelve away from the top of it. Mike's reaching out. 2291 02:10:42,680 --> 02:10:46,120 Speaker 1: Tressi's on Life five.

This happened in Afghanistan 2305 02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:43,120 Speaker 12: and change of government. The United States will oversee this. 2306 02:11:43,240 --> 02:11:46,880 Speaker 12: And then Afghanistan is a democracy. Our Korea, we did 2307 02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:50,880 Speaker 12: it in Korea. South Korea is a democracy. We did 2308 02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:54,800 Speaker 12: it in Vietnam self. Vietnam is a democracy.

This is told there for a bit. This 2320 02:12:26,400 --> 02:12:29,680 Speaker 12: is bigger than ol Chapo, al Chapo and Noya use 2321 02:12:29,760 --> 02:12:34,400 Speaker 12: the Noriega platform, and it's got more indictments than Noriega. 2322 02:12:34,640 --> 02:12:39,000 Speaker 12: It's gonna stick light clue on the wall oh looks 2323 02:12:39,080 --> 02:12:40,080 Speaker 12: really good, really. 2324 02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:40,800 Speaker 6: Goods give much. 2325 02:12:40,800 --> 02:12:43,240 Speaker 1: Hey, thank you Mike for your comments. Let's give doctor 2326 02:12:43,240 --> 02:12:45,600 Speaker 1: Horne a chance to spawning. He's chomping at a bit 2327 02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:49,720 Speaker 1: to respond to what you just said. Go ahead, doctor Horne, will. 2328 02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:51,880 Speaker 15: Your column may be the only person that planet Earth 2329 02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:56,040 Speaker 15: who feels that there is democracy in Afghanistan after decades 2330 02:12:56,080 --> 02:12:59,600 Speaker 15: of US interference. In fact, Afghanistan is a model of 2331 02:12:59,720 --> 02:13:03,440 Speaker 15: gen a party, which is something relatively new in recent 2332 02:13:03,520 --> 02:13:06,080 Speaker 15: times in terms of the way that women and girls 2333 02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:09,720 Speaker 15: are treated, not allowed to be educated. For example, with 2334 02:13:09,880 --> 02:13:13,960 Speaker 15: regard to Vietnam, the United States did not intend whether 2335 02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:18,440 Speaker 15: to be Communist Party rule in Vietnam, which has been 2336 02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:23,360 Speaker 15: the case ever since the United States evacuated ignominiously in 2337 02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:27,600 Speaker 15: April nineteen seventy five in the face of defeat. With 2338 02:13:27,680 --> 02:13:31,640 Speaker 15: regard to the legality under US law, well, I assume 2339 02:13:31,760 --> 02:13:34,720 Speaker 15: that under Venezuelan law they could have a warrant for 2340 02:13:34,800 --> 02:13:39,600 Speaker 15: the arrest of President Trump for violating their airspace and 2341 02:13:39,760 --> 02:13:44,760 Speaker 15: killing dozens of individuals there, and consent a team into 2342 02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:49,080 Speaker 15: Washington to enforce that arrest warrant. I mean, what's sauce 2343 02:13:49,120 --> 02:13:52,040 Speaker 15: for the goose? Is sauce for the Ganders with regard 2344 02:13:52,160 --> 02:13:56,040 Speaker 15: to drugs. As has already been noted, mister Trump has 2345 02:13:56,160 --> 02:13:59,960 Speaker 15: dropped the whole question of Maduro being a narco traffic 2346 02:14:00,720 --> 02:14:03,400 Speaker 15: and instead has stressed the question themorial. And of course 2347 02:14:03,440 --> 02:14:08,160 Speaker 15: that's consistent with the US authorities who have argued over 2348 02:14:08,240 --> 02:14:11,560 Speaker 15: the years that Venezuela is not a major supplier of 2349 02:14:11,600 --> 02:14:15,000 Speaker 15: sentinel or the elements that are going to fentinyl. That's China. 2350 02:14:15,080 --> 02:14:18,200 Speaker 15: But don't expect the United States to be sending a 2351 02:14:18,240 --> 02:14:21,400 Speaker 15: team to Beijing to arrest President Jiju and Pin. 2352 02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:25,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for responding to mine, because that you know, 2353 02:14:25,480 --> 02:14:29,440 Speaker 1: obviously those are the Republican talking points that he's a issuing. 2354 02:14:29,920 --> 02:14:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, we've heard them before. And keep listening to 2355 02:14:32,720 --> 02:14:35,680 Speaker 1: one side of the conversation, you don't hear the whole conversation. 2356 02:14:35,960 --> 02:14:38,320 Speaker 1: So hopefully he was still listening. But here's a question 2357 02:14:38,360 --> 02:14:41,840 Speaker 1: for it for taking another coffee again tweets about this, 2358 02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:43,840 Speaker 1: doctor Horne. Do you think this is all a big 2359 02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:46,919 Speaker 1: distraction that take us away from from one the Epstein 2360 02:14:46,920 --> 02:14:49,480 Speaker 1: files and two the economy and what's going with the 2361 02:14:49,520 --> 02:14:50,400 Speaker 1: healthcare as well? 2362 02:14:51,840 --> 02:14:52,080 Speaker 7: Well. 2363 02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:56,680 Speaker 15: A number of intelligent comment commentators have pointed out which 2364 02:14:56,720 --> 02:15:02,280 Speaker 15: you've just suggested that there are millions of pages about 2365 02:15:02,480 --> 02:15:07,320 Speaker 15: the Epstein pedophile case. They're in store to be released 2366 02:15:07,440 --> 02:15:10,280 Speaker 15: in coming days and weeks. There have already been thousands 2367 02:15:10,280 --> 02:15:14,240 Speaker 15: of pages already released, and they have painted a very 2368 02:15:14,280 --> 02:15:19,640 Speaker 15: disturbing picture of the relationship between this pedophile and mister Trump. 2369 02:15:20,280 --> 02:15:24,280 Speaker 15: Certainly he has an interest in distracting from this scandal. 2370 02:15:25,120 --> 02:15:29,320 Speaker 15: He has denounced the former allied, Marjorie Taylor Green, because 2371 02:15:29,360 --> 02:15:34,080 Speaker 15: she wanted these files to be released. Certainly, the affordability 2372 02:15:34,200 --> 02:15:38,080 Speaker 15: question does not play to the strengths of mister Trump's platform. 2373 02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:44,200 Speaker 15: Whoever goes to a grocery store recognizes that prices are going. 2374 02:15:43,960 --> 02:15:44,600 Speaker 11: Through the roof. 2375 02:15:45,520 --> 02:15:48,120 Speaker 15: That is one of the reasons why he did not 2376 02:15:48,800 --> 02:15:52,240 Speaker 15: necessarily denounce mister Mundanni when he showed up in the 2377 02:15:52,280 --> 02:15:55,240 Speaker 15: Oval office a few weeks ago. And I'm happy to 2378 02:15:55,280 --> 02:15:58,680 Speaker 15: say that mister Mundanni, the Mayor of New York, has 2379 02:15:58,760 --> 02:16:04,760 Speaker 15: criticized the kidnapp. Oh, mister Maduro in a spouse and 2380 02:16:04,840 --> 02:16:08,920 Speaker 15: I'm waiting to hear something similar coming from our leaders 2381 02:16:08,920 --> 02:16:10,640 Speaker 15: in the Congressional Black Caucus. 2382 02:16:11,400 --> 02:16:13,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, they'd be quiet for questionself. We'll see what happens. 2383 02:16:13,920 --> 02:16:15,480 Speaker 1: There's six minutes away from the top of the I'm 2384 02:16:15,480 --> 02:16:17,680 Speaker 1: a from Anaheim sent a question for you, but let's 2385 02:16:17,720 --> 02:16:20,080 Speaker 1: go to Greg and Upper Marlboro, Maryland. He has a 2386 02:16:20,160 --> 02:16:22,120 Speaker 1: question as well. He's on line three Grand Rising. 2387 02:16:22,160 --> 02:16:22,360 Speaker 3: Greg. 2388 02:16:22,440 --> 02:16:23,960 Speaker 1: Your question for doctor Gerald Horn. 2389 02:16:25,200 --> 02:16:30,760 Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, doctor Horn and brother Carl. I guess 2390 02:16:30,800 --> 02:16:34,080 Speaker 6: my questions last comment. I used to attend lectures back 2391 02:16:34,080 --> 02:16:40,720 Speaker 6: in the day of Brother Steve Coakley and he discussed trilateralism. 2392 02:16:42,360 --> 02:16:45,320 Speaker 6: Were talking about twenty years ago, twenty five years ago. 2393 02:16:45,720 --> 02:16:50,080 Speaker 6: And basically what Trump is doing is implementing the tenets 2394 02:16:50,879 --> 02:16:53,920 Speaker 6: from the position papers of the Trilateral Commission, and that 2395 02:16:54,080 --> 02:16:59,760 Speaker 6: was to say that they have always intended to consolidate. 2396 02:16:59,200 --> 02:17:03,439 Speaker 14: Paul him as Fear into one segment. 2397 02:17:03,080 --> 02:17:07,600 Speaker 6: Of the Trilateral Commission. So when you hear Trump talking 2398 02:17:07,600 --> 02:17:13,280 Speaker 6: about Canada, Mexico and all and every every country in 2399 02:17:13,320 --> 02:17:18,240 Speaker 6: this hemisphere, basically that was part of the plan of 2400 02:17:18,720 --> 02:17:22,160 Speaker 6: the Trilateral Commission, according to you know, you know, the 2401 02:17:22,160 --> 02:17:26,160 Speaker 6: elections of Brother Steve and others who taught that eons 2402 02:17:26,240 --> 02:17:29,560 Speaker 6: eons to go. So I'm not surprised. What I am 2403 02:17:29,640 --> 02:17:34,240 Speaker 6: surprised that is how naive that a lot of brothers 2404 02:17:34,879 --> 02:17:37,279 Speaker 6: who kind of thought that this guy was an outsider 2405 02:17:38,240 --> 02:17:40,960 Speaker 6: who was gonna drain the swamp and all this crazy 2406 02:17:40,959 --> 02:17:43,720 Speaker 6: stuff like that. And notice how he had a complete 2407 02:17:44,160 --> 02:17:48,279 Speaker 6: about face. But none of these people want to acknowledge 2408 02:17:48,320 --> 02:17:50,160 Speaker 6: that they were wrong about this guy, you know, the 2409 02:17:50,160 --> 02:17:54,560 Speaker 6: whole time. And I just wanted to ask doctor o'horn 2410 02:17:55,160 --> 02:17:58,720 Speaker 6: if he's familiar with the whole agenda of the Trilateral 2411 02:17:58,760 --> 02:18:02,280 Speaker 6: Commission as far as consolidating. 2412 02:18:01,440 --> 02:18:03,120 Speaker 14: This whole hemisphere. 2413 02:18:04,480 --> 02:18:09,520 Speaker 6: One currency for this whole reason, basically setting up the 2414 02:18:09,560 --> 02:18:10,240 Speaker 6: new world order. 2415 02:18:11,120 --> 02:18:12,640 Speaker 1: All right, Greg, thank you. 2416 02:18:14,640 --> 02:18:19,279 Speaker 15: Trilateral Commission of decades ago. But recall the times of change, 2417 02:18:19,400 --> 02:18:24,400 Speaker 15: because in the early iteration of the Trilateral Commission, the 2418 02:18:24,560 --> 02:18:29,879 Speaker 15: idea was that Canada, for example, would be in lockstep 2419 02:18:29,959 --> 02:18:34,120 Speaker 15: with the United States of America. The NaSTA North American 2420 02:18:34,160 --> 02:18:38,039 Speaker 15: Free Trade Agreement now the us MCA, the US Mexico 2421 02:18:38,240 --> 02:18:42,520 Speaker 15: Canada Agreement was part and parcel of that kind of scheming. 2422 02:18:43,040 --> 02:18:45,400 Speaker 15: But mister Trump has turned the tables now. He says 2423 02:18:45,400 --> 02:18:49,160 Speaker 15: he wants Canada to be the fifty first state. For example, 2424 02:18:49,640 --> 02:18:53,600 Speaker 15: he's talked about invading Mexico. Under the Trilateral Commission, Mexico 2425 02:18:53,640 --> 02:18:55,600 Speaker 15: would be considered to be an ally of the United 2426 02:18:55,640 --> 02:18:59,240 Speaker 15: States of America. We should not downplay the kinds of 2427 02:18:59,440 --> 02:19:03,080 Speaker 15: change that is taking place right now. With regard to 2428 02:19:03,120 --> 02:19:07,560 Speaker 15: the trilateral partners, they were the Western Europeans and Japan, 2429 02:19:08,320 --> 02:19:12,840 Speaker 15: But now mister Trump has been threatening Western European nations. 2430 02:19:13,080 --> 02:19:16,680 Speaker 15: For example, he says in this national security strategy that 2431 02:19:16,720 --> 02:19:20,240 Speaker 15: their face was so called civilizational erasure. That's his phrase, 2432 02:19:20,320 --> 02:19:24,800 Speaker 15: not mine. Because of immigration. He suggested the Nazi friendly 2433 02:19:24,920 --> 02:19:29,400 Speaker 15: parties be backed, which is outraged the ruling party in Berlin, 2434 02:19:29,560 --> 02:19:33,119 Speaker 15: not to mention the ruling party in France. So yes, 2435 02:19:33,200 --> 02:19:35,320 Speaker 15: I'm familiar with for a lateral commission, but I'm also 2436 02:19:35,520 --> 02:19:38,720 Speaker 15: more familiar with how things have changed since it was 2437 02:19:38,879 --> 02:19:40,000 Speaker 15: originally enunciated. 2438 02:19:46,160 --> 02:19:48,800 Speaker 14: The only thing I'll add or to submit. 2439 02:19:48,560 --> 02:19:52,320 Speaker 6: To you, though, if the in game is consolidation, and 2440 02:19:52,440 --> 02:19:57,680 Speaker 6: everything that Trump is doing is talking about consolidation by force. Again, 2441 02:19:57,800 --> 02:20:00,600 Speaker 6: to me, he's not an outside He's just carrying out 2442 02:20:00,760 --> 02:20:07,280 Speaker 6: an agenda that was you know, already again intended to like. 2443 02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:08,600 Speaker 14: Twenty five thirty years ago. 2444 02:20:09,040 --> 02:20:13,000 Speaker 6: And for them to call the oil in Venezuela as 2445 02:20:13,120 --> 02:20:15,840 Speaker 6: their oil, that's America's oil again. 2446 02:20:16,320 --> 02:20:17,760 Speaker 1: And Greg, we're gonna let you go because we got 2447 02:20:17,760 --> 02:20:19,280 Speaker 1: to take a short break. We gotta take another look 2448 02:20:19,280 --> 02:20:21,200 Speaker 1: at the trafficking reather worm one more time. But I 2449 02:20:21,200 --> 02:20:22,720 Speaker 1: thank you for your question and get the gist of it, 2450 02:20:22,760 --> 02:20:24,680 Speaker 1: and I like doctor Horn respond when we get back, 2451 02:20:24,680 --> 02:20:26,600 Speaker 1: it's two minutes away from the top. They have family. 2452 02:20:26,840 --> 02:20:28,680 Speaker 1: I guess it is doctor Jerel Horn from the University 2453 02:20:28,680 --> 02:20:30,680 Speaker 1: of Houston is also an attorney. By the way, you 2454 02:20:30,760 --> 02:20:33,080 Speaker 1: got a question about what's going on in Venezuela and more, 2455 02:20:33,160 --> 02:20:35,440 Speaker 1: reach out to us at eight hundred four to five zero. 2456 02:20:35,560 --> 02:20:37,720 Speaker 1: This is seventy eight seventy six. I will take your 2457 02:20:37,720 --> 02:20:40,520 Speaker 1: phone calls next and Grand Rising family. Thanks for rolling 2458 02:20:40,520 --> 02:20:42,560 Speaker 1: with us on this Monday morning fast again. Your week 2459 02:20:42,640 --> 02:20:44,600 Speaker 1: started with us and our guest, the doctor Jereld Horner 2460 02:20:44,720 --> 02:20:47,880 Speaker 1: talking about international politics with doctor HORNA. I want to 2461 02:20:47,879 --> 02:20:50,920 Speaker 1: thank greg for mentioning Steve Coca. Steve Coca did do 2462 02:20:51,040 --> 02:20:54,080 Speaker 1: a lot exposed about the time Trilatle commissioning. In fact, 2463 02:20:54,640 --> 02:20:57,920 Speaker 1: as far as naming the persons involved in the Triloutle conditions, 2464 02:20:58,600 --> 02:21:01,920 Speaker 1: tryline Trianlattle commission. Some of those names would surprise you 2465 02:21:01,959 --> 02:21:04,960 Speaker 1: as well. But doctor Horn, I guess what gregor Is 2466 02:21:05,120 --> 02:21:08,160 Speaker 1: question is basically, are we seeing the Monroe doctrine being 2467 02:21:08,160 --> 02:21:10,760 Speaker 1: played out as a sort of Trump doctrine in this 2468 02:21:10,840 --> 02:21:12,000 Speaker 1: part of the hemisphere. 2469 02:21:13,120 --> 02:21:16,600 Speaker 15: Well, mister Trumpet has said as much, has noted he's 2470 02:21:16,920 --> 02:21:20,000 Speaker 15: rebranded it as the don World doctrine, so to speak, 2471 02:21:20,320 --> 02:21:24,920 Speaker 15: recalled that two centuries ago, then US President James Monroe 2472 02:21:25,320 --> 02:21:28,680 Speaker 15: was suggesting that European power should stay out of this hemisphere. 2473 02:21:28,959 --> 02:21:33,960 Speaker 15: But what's oftentimes forgotten is that President Monroe emphasized that 2474 02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:36,680 Speaker 15: the United States would not get involved in European affairs, 2475 02:21:37,120 --> 02:21:41,279 Speaker 15: which is obviously not taking place given the existence of NATO, 2476 02:21:41,400 --> 02:21:45,320 Speaker 15: the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Given the fact that last year, 2477 02:21:45,600 --> 02:21:48,240 Speaker 15: at the beginning of the year, Vice President JD. Vance 2478 02:21:48,440 --> 02:21:52,840 Speaker 15: gave political advice backed up by action, as to who 2479 02:21:53,040 --> 02:21:57,120 Speaker 15: European government should elect as their leaders, followed by the 2480 02:21:57,200 --> 02:22:01,360 Speaker 15: National Security Strategy in December twenty twenty five, which gave 2481 02:22:01,480 --> 02:22:07,320 Speaker 15: similar sorts of advice. So this is all nonsense. This 2482 02:22:07,800 --> 02:22:12,520 Speaker 15: idea number one, that the United States can dictate who 2483 02:22:12,959 --> 02:22:17,039 Speaker 15: countries in this hemisphere should consort with sovereign countries. By 2484 02:22:17,080 --> 02:22:20,320 Speaker 15: the way, it would be as if China told the 2485 02:22:20,400 --> 02:22:24,959 Speaker 15: United States not to have relationships with Great Britain, for example. 2486 02:22:25,920 --> 02:22:30,599 Speaker 15: This is not only inconceivable, but if you were somehow formulated, 2487 02:22:31,040 --> 02:22:34,600 Speaker 15: it would be rejected unilaterally in both Washington and London. 2488 02:22:35,920 --> 02:22:38,280 Speaker 1: Got you three after the tough ELEMENTI market from Anna, 2489 02:22:38,280 --> 02:22:41,040 Speaker 1: I haven't sent a question for you. March question Brother 2490 02:22:41,080 --> 02:22:44,240 Speaker 1: and Koshy's College from Chicago's online for Grand Rising Brother 2491 02:22:44,320 --> 02:22:48,480 Speaker 1: and Cosy your question for doctor Horn Brian Randing. 2492 02:22:48,200 --> 02:22:50,480 Speaker 3: And John both my brothers. 2493 02:22:51,280 --> 02:22:51,800 Speaker 7: I was. 2494 02:22:53,760 --> 02:22:59,080 Speaker 3: Galming into foreign affairs earlier this year, and the counselor 2495 02:22:59,120 --> 02:23:07,959 Speaker 3: on four really presented two possible processes that could occur 2496 02:23:09,360 --> 02:23:13,400 Speaker 3: as far as international politics are concerned. And the first 2497 02:23:13,440 --> 02:23:16,640 Speaker 3: one was that they presented which I agree with doctor Warren. 2498 02:23:16,720 --> 02:23:22,320 Speaker 3: It sounds kind of issy, is that there are spells 2499 02:23:22,360 --> 02:23:27,720 Speaker 3: of influence in which China would control Asia, Russia would 2500 02:23:27,720 --> 02:23:33,040 Speaker 3: control Europe, and the United States would control the America 2501 02:23:33,120 --> 02:23:37,400 Speaker 3: over here. And in order for that to work for America, 2502 02:23:39,040 --> 02:23:41,640 Speaker 3: it would be dangerous for US because it means we 2503 02:23:41,680 --> 02:23:44,280 Speaker 3: would have to be depopulated and they would have to 2504 02:23:44,440 --> 02:23:50,600 Speaker 3: import more. White population is shrinking here, so they would 2505 02:23:50,640 --> 02:23:54,520 Speaker 3: have to import more Europeans and deport more of us, 2506 02:23:54,600 --> 02:23:59,000 Speaker 3: which this birthright citizenship move that they're making now with 2507 02:23:59,080 --> 02:24:03,680 Speaker 3: the Supreme court seems aim to do is to attempt 2508 02:24:03,680 --> 02:24:08,240 Speaker 3: to deport us. But I don't think that China and 2509 02:24:08,320 --> 02:24:12,960 Speaker 3: Wrassia would agree with the spirits of influence because I mean, 2510 02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:16,960 Speaker 3: who would trust the United States. And you know, in 2511 02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:21,000 Speaker 3: our analysis of Donald Trump and what he's doing, I 2512 02:24:21,000 --> 02:24:28,000 Speaker 3: think we personalized him too much. His first tour as president, yeah, 2513 02:24:28,080 --> 02:24:30,240 Speaker 3: well we could say it was most of him. But 2514 02:24:30,400 --> 02:24:34,000 Speaker 3: now he is being backed by the Federal of Society, 2515 02:24:34,120 --> 02:24:38,400 Speaker 3: the Heriticy Foundation, all of these think tanks to tech boroughs. 2516 02:24:38,800 --> 02:24:42,320 Speaker 3: So this is why he's picking these people like Pete 2517 02:24:42,360 --> 02:24:48,440 Speaker 3: Head said, Hawk pig Hall said, and right think RFK 2518 02:24:49,360 --> 02:24:54,240 Speaker 3: because in the contingency that power, they lose power. These 2519 02:24:54,280 --> 02:24:57,480 Speaker 3: people will be prosecutable. So no one with good sense 2520 02:24:57,520 --> 02:25:00,800 Speaker 3: of taking these positions. But I would just deal. Would 2521 02:25:00,879 --> 02:25:06,600 Speaker 3: noctor one has to say about Russia and China as 2522 02:25:06,600 --> 02:25:09,160 Speaker 3: far as trust in the United States and the sphere 2523 02:25:09,320 --> 02:25:10,680 Speaker 3: of influenced deal. 2524 02:25:12,760 --> 02:25:15,200 Speaker 15: Well, First of all, I don't think that this idea of 2525 02:25:15,480 --> 02:25:18,640 Speaker 15: sperits of influencers want to fly. I mean, for example, 2526 02:25:19,320 --> 02:25:23,320 Speaker 15: number one, if you're saying that China should control Asia, 2527 02:25:24,040 --> 02:25:27,600 Speaker 15: well they get the best deal. It has the most 2528 02:25:27,600 --> 02:25:31,240 Speaker 15: significant population and in any case, India will not go 2529 02:25:31,320 --> 02:25:35,360 Speaker 15: along with China controlling Asia, given the fact that India's 2530 02:25:35,400 --> 02:25:40,560 Speaker 15: population is larger than that of China as we speak. 2531 02:25:41,200 --> 02:25:44,320 Speaker 15: Second of all, when we speak of Trump, at least 2532 02:25:44,360 --> 02:25:47,080 Speaker 15: when I speak of Trump, I'm using him as a 2533 02:25:47,120 --> 02:25:52,320 Speaker 15: shorthand we're speaking of the multiple forces that are backing him, 2534 02:25:52,520 --> 02:25:55,800 Speaker 15: the so called Maga Coalition. But keep in mind that 2535 02:25:55,879 --> 02:26:01,360 Speaker 15: the MAGA Coalition is split on this question of Venezuela. 2536 02:26:01,680 --> 02:26:07,160 Speaker 15: It's split on this question of bombing of other nations. 2537 02:26:07,440 --> 02:26:12,520 Speaker 15: Recalled that just before January third, that Steve Bannon, the 2538 02:26:12,680 --> 02:26:18,480 Speaker 15: erstwhile counselor to mister Trump, criticized mister Trump for suggesting 2539 02:26:19,240 --> 02:26:23,640 Speaker 15: that the United States might intervene in Iran, for example, 2540 02:26:23,640 --> 02:26:27,039 Speaker 15: in light of the demonstrations of the Iranian people over 2541 02:26:27,320 --> 02:26:32,000 Speaker 15: high prices and affordability, for example. So there are splits 2542 02:26:32,080 --> 02:26:35,760 Speaker 15: within the Maga Coalition, which is good news because we 2543 02:26:35,879 --> 02:26:38,760 Speaker 15: can play upon these splits. They're splits in the Maga 2544 02:26:38,760 --> 02:26:43,600 Speaker 15: Coalition with regard to the Prosionist forces to make Israel 2545 02:26:43,640 --> 02:26:46,480 Speaker 15: great again forces and to make America great again forces. 2546 02:26:46,560 --> 02:26:50,920 Speaker 15: Splits between the Prosionist forces and those like Nick Quaints 2547 02:26:51,120 --> 02:26:54,879 Speaker 15: of the Hitler's cool faction of the Republican Party, who 2548 02:26:55,080 --> 02:26:58,560 Speaker 15: was given a softball interview by Pucker Carlson. So they're 2549 02:26:58,560 --> 02:27:01,480 Speaker 15: all sorts of split within the MAGA coalition, which does 2550 02:27:01,520 --> 02:27:06,160 Speaker 15: not bode well for the long term viability gosh. 2551 02:27:06,040 --> 02:27:08,359 Speaker 1: Ada after the top, as I mentioned, Mark from Anaheim 2552 02:27:08,520 --> 02:27:11,000 Speaker 1: has said a tweet four. He says, Mark says hello. 2553 02:27:11,080 --> 02:27:13,879 Speaker 1: He says, the Dolls Act, the Monroe Doctrine, and the 2554 02:27:13,920 --> 02:27:17,400 Speaker 1: Christian Doctrine of Discovery are alive and well. Because I 2555 02:27:17,400 --> 02:27:20,039 Speaker 1: want to say, for many decades, oil was seen as 2556 02:27:20,080 --> 02:27:23,760 Speaker 1: the prize. However, the paradigm has shifted somewhat since water 2557 02:27:23,959 --> 02:27:27,360 Speaker 1: and lithium are replacing oil as the prize. He goes 2558 02:27:27,360 --> 02:27:29,320 Speaker 1: on to say, the current plan is for the US 2559 02:27:29,360 --> 02:27:32,680 Speaker 1: to control everything from the northernmost tip of North America 2560 02:27:32,760 --> 02:27:36,680 Speaker 1: to the southernmost tip of South America. Russia controls all 2561 02:27:36,720 --> 02:27:39,760 Speaker 1: of Europe, and China controls all of Asia. The continent 2562 02:27:39,800 --> 02:27:42,720 Speaker 1: of Africa will be divided between the Big three. And 2563 02:27:42,920 --> 02:27:46,800 Speaker 1: as already in such nations as Kenya and Ghana, there 2564 02:27:46,840 --> 02:27:50,480 Speaker 1: are creating what its term smart cities which do not 2565 02:27:50,520 --> 02:27:52,800 Speaker 1: answer to the nation's government. And he says, what do you. 2566 02:27:52,800 --> 02:27:56,760 Speaker 15: Say, well, first of all, but we go to guard 2567 02:27:56,800 --> 02:28:00,240 Speaker 15: the controlling petroleum, which is obviously an ambition that of 2568 02:28:00,280 --> 02:28:03,760 Speaker 15: mister Trump. He should pay attention to what's happening with 2569 02:28:03,920 --> 02:28:06,760 Speaker 15: regard to green energy. He should look at the article 2570 02:28:06,840 --> 02:28:08,760 Speaker 15: that appears of the New York Times just a day 2571 02:28:08,840 --> 02:28:12,400 Speaker 15: or two ago about the rise of cheap Chinese made 2572 02:28:12,440 --> 02:28:17,920 Speaker 15: solar panels which have helped to relieve the electricity crunch 2573 02:28:17,959 --> 02:28:21,520 Speaker 15: and crisis in South Africa, amongst other nations. I have 2574 02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:24,080 Speaker 15: to say once again with regard to this notion of 2575 02:28:24,160 --> 02:28:29,480 Speaker 15: series of influence. It may look okay or even rational 2576 02:28:29,560 --> 02:28:34,440 Speaker 15: on paper, but India gets a vote, and India and 2577 02:28:34,520 --> 02:28:38,560 Speaker 15: China fought a bitter war in nineteen sixty two. Mister Trump, 2578 02:28:39,600 --> 02:28:43,360 Speaker 15: at least in Trump one, had this idea of helping 2579 02:28:43,440 --> 02:28:46,240 Speaker 15: to recruit India in an anti China coalition. So the 2580 02:28:46,920 --> 02:28:51,000 Speaker 15: idea that China would control Asia run smack dab into 2581 02:28:51,080 --> 02:28:54,560 Speaker 15: the question of what India will have to say about this. 2582 02:28:55,640 --> 02:28:59,880 Speaker 15: The Europeans are not necessarily going to accept Russia could 2583 02:28:59,879 --> 02:29:04,360 Speaker 15: throw in Europe. Look at they're taxing their citizens to 2584 02:29:04,520 --> 02:29:09,200 Speaker 15: the bone to raise money to fund the Ukraine war effort. 2585 02:29:09,200 --> 02:29:11,320 Speaker 15: After mister Trump is trying to pull the plug on 2586 02:29:11,400 --> 02:29:15,039 Speaker 15: the Ukraine war effort, so they're not necessarily necessarily going 2587 02:29:15,080 --> 02:29:19,280 Speaker 15: to accept Russian hegemony in Europe. And we've already been 2588 02:29:19,320 --> 02:29:23,160 Speaker 15: talking about how the Brazilians and the Canadians and the 2589 02:29:23,240 --> 02:29:26,080 Speaker 15: Venezuelans are not necessarily going to accept the US hegemony 2590 02:29:26,280 --> 02:29:30,320 Speaker 15: and the Americas. So I think that those who have 2591 02:29:30,400 --> 02:29:33,000 Speaker 15: this idea about spirits of influence need to give it 2592 02:29:33,040 --> 02:29:33,959 Speaker 15: a reality test. 2593 02:29:35,080 --> 02:29:35,760 Speaker 7: Gotcha? Ten? 2594 02:29:35,800 --> 02:29:37,560 Speaker 1: After that time they ask some more folks want to 2595 02:29:37,560 --> 02:29:40,160 Speaker 1: talk to you, Doctor Horn. Mark's calling from Houston is online. 2596 02:29:40,200 --> 02:29:43,360 Speaker 1: Six grand rise and mark your question for doctor Gerald Klark. 2597 02:29:44,959 --> 02:29:48,560 Speaker 19: Well, grand rise, that morning. Y'all doing all right this morning? 2598 02:29:49,760 --> 02:29:52,080 Speaker 15: Yes, sir, yes, sir. 2599 02:29:52,320 --> 02:29:54,360 Speaker 19: I just want to ask one of questions. Why I 2600 02:29:54,440 --> 02:29:57,840 Speaker 19: finish up and answer it began, But I just wanted 2601 02:29:57,840 --> 02:30:00,640 Speaker 19: to remember back in two thousand, it's you know, twenty 2602 02:30:00,680 --> 02:30:04,560 Speaker 19: six years ago. Now you know Bluish versus Goal. I 2603 02:30:04,600 --> 02:30:07,320 Speaker 19: want you to remember that. Then you remember the Supreme Court. 2604 02:30:07,360 --> 02:30:08,680 Speaker 19: I didn't want to show you how they put him 2605 02:30:08,680 --> 02:30:10,680 Speaker 19: in the office. Then you want to hear this word 2606 02:30:10,680 --> 02:30:13,440 Speaker 19: when Trump rans the office, it says take back, So 2607 02:30:13,520 --> 02:30:13,879 Speaker 19: you're going. 2608 02:30:13,800 --> 02:30:15,000 Speaker 6: To take back this country. 2609 02:30:15,160 --> 02:30:17,119 Speaker 19: We get what I'm saying. Now we talk about birth 2610 02:30:17,160 --> 02:30:21,680 Speaker 19: white citizens and all of a sudden, remember this, Uh 2611 02:30:22,240 --> 02:30:24,720 Speaker 19: we talked about Afghanistan with colon power when they said 2612 02:30:24,760 --> 02:30:29,120 Speaker 19: that Dodim Musain who had weapon of mass destruction or 2613 02:30:29,160 --> 02:30:31,360 Speaker 19: we found out that was true, I mean not true. 2614 02:30:32,080 --> 02:30:33,760 Speaker 5: Say, man, do you think. 2615 02:30:33,560 --> 02:30:38,680 Speaker 19: That uh Trump and whatever is going on in this country, 2616 02:30:39,040 --> 02:30:40,879 Speaker 19: do you think that this man is going to actually 2617 02:30:41,440 --> 02:30:43,520 Speaker 19: come out of the White House now? I mean, because 2618 02:30:43,959 --> 02:30:45,920 Speaker 19: it just seems like a pattern that it's going on 2619 02:30:46,040 --> 02:30:49,000 Speaker 19: right now. These people are trying to do something and 2620 02:30:49,120 --> 02:30:51,119 Speaker 19: we just got to look at the signs right now. 2621 02:30:51,400 --> 02:30:54,160 Speaker 19: You know it's manding when they kidnapped these people and 2622 02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:57,879 Speaker 19: you know, took took the leader, you know. 2623 02:30:57,879 --> 02:30:58,640 Speaker 5: From the country. 2624 02:30:58,959 --> 02:31:00,800 Speaker 19: So do you think that this man is going to 2625 02:31:00,840 --> 02:31:04,640 Speaker 19: really if he's still alive three years from that, because 2626 02:31:04,640 --> 02:31:06,840 Speaker 19: I just want everybody know the man guess only then 2627 02:31:06,959 --> 02:31:09,360 Speaker 19: out its own a year now and it seems like 2628 02:31:09,400 --> 02:31:11,200 Speaker 19: he's been there for five to six years. 2629 02:31:11,560 --> 02:31:12,600 Speaker 9: This is not looking good. 2630 02:31:12,640 --> 02:31:13,720 Speaker 4: Do you think he's coming out? 2631 02:31:14,040 --> 02:31:15,080 Speaker 11: That's not working at. 2632 02:31:16,760 --> 02:31:16,840 Speaker 3: All? 2633 02:31:16,920 --> 02:31:18,680 Speaker 15: Right, thank you said, do you think he's coming out? 2634 02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:23,800 Speaker 15: Do I think he's going to leave office prematurely? Yeah, yeah, 2635 02:31:24,520 --> 02:31:28,160 Speaker 15: I don't. It's difficult for me to say yes because 2636 02:31:28,200 --> 02:31:32,800 Speaker 15: that would require impeachment. And if he was not impeached 2637 02:31:32,879 --> 02:31:38,880 Speaker 15: in twenty twenty one after unleashing a mob on Congress 2638 02:31:38,879 --> 02:31:43,000 Speaker 15: in order to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, and 2639 02:31:43,040 --> 02:31:46,320 Speaker 15: he was not impeached then, and there's still a supine 2640 02:31:46,440 --> 02:31:50,440 Speaker 15: Republican control of Congress, it's difficult for me to imagine 2641 02:31:50,560 --> 02:31:54,040 Speaker 15: how that Republican Congress could impeach him now. Of course, 2642 02:31:54,080 --> 02:31:56,200 Speaker 15: there'll probably be a turnover in the House. There will 2643 02:31:56,200 --> 02:32:00,240 Speaker 15: be a speaker, King Jeffreys, a Democrat from Brooklyn, eating 2644 02:32:00,760 --> 02:32:06,760 Speaker 15: the House after November. But Pole suggests that the Republicans 2645 02:32:06,800 --> 02:32:10,440 Speaker 15: will still control the Senate and impeachment has to be 2646 02:32:10,520 --> 02:32:14,199 Speaker 15: voted on in terms of removal of office by the Senate, 2647 02:32:14,240 --> 02:32:18,680 Speaker 15: and a'll see the Republicans basically removing another Republican from 2648 02:32:18,879 --> 02:32:24,360 Speaker 15: the White House. So, mister Trump, I think the only 2649 02:32:24,400 --> 02:32:28,879 Speaker 15: way he'll leave office before twenty twenty nine is horizontally, 2650 02:32:29,040 --> 02:32:32,879 Speaker 15: not vertically. All right, I got a tweet question for you, 2651 02:32:33,000 --> 02:32:34,679 Speaker 15: carried out in a castle. 2652 02:32:35,680 --> 02:32:38,600 Speaker 1: Well thirteen after the top. They are doctor horn At 2653 02:32:38,600 --> 02:32:42,280 Speaker 1: tweet from a brother Leroy and Louisiana he says, ask 2654 02:32:42,400 --> 02:32:45,320 Speaker 1: doctor Horn and the greatest scheme of things. Can we 2655 02:32:45,400 --> 02:32:49,080 Speaker 1: see the fingerprints of Project twenty twenty five? Because I say, 2656 02:32:49,080 --> 02:32:52,040 Speaker 1: people like Kevin Roberts, who's from my home area, head 2657 02:32:52,040 --> 02:32:55,800 Speaker 1: of the Heritage Foundation, Brandon Carr, Russell Vault, and that's 2658 02:32:55,800 --> 02:32:57,920 Speaker 1: a guy you need to watch, and all the people 2659 02:32:57,959 --> 02:33:00,360 Speaker 1: that put together the Project twenty twenty five. Can we 2660 02:33:00,400 --> 02:33:03,039 Speaker 1: see that what is going on is the blueprint from 2661 02:33:03,080 --> 02:33:06,400 Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five people, Because people got to remember 2662 02:33:06,400 --> 02:33:09,560 Speaker 1: that Trump is not the smartest person in this administration. 2663 02:33:10,080 --> 02:33:13,680 Speaker 1: He's quote now, he's words. He is mainly a useful 2664 02:33:13,920 --> 02:33:17,520 Speaker 1: racist idiot. And basically the tweet from brother Leroy is 2665 02:33:17,520 --> 02:33:19,440 Speaker 1: saying that these folks that he mentioned are really running 2666 02:33:19,480 --> 02:33:23,600 Speaker 1: the country and not Donald Trump. What say you, doctor Horn, Well. 2667 02:33:23,480 --> 02:33:25,800 Speaker 15: I think that there are a class of individuals who 2668 02:33:25,959 --> 02:33:31,119 Speaker 15: running the country and mister Trump emble of the chairperson 2669 02:33:31,280 --> 02:33:35,480 Speaker 15: of the Executive Committee of the US ruling the leaf 2670 02:33:35,760 --> 02:33:38,440 Speaker 15: that rules the country. Now with regard to Project twenty 2671 02:33:38,520 --> 02:33:41,240 Speaker 15: twenty five, it's very important to keep up on the 2672 02:33:41,280 --> 02:33:44,680 Speaker 15: news because in the last few weeks there's been a 2673 02:33:44,760 --> 02:33:50,720 Speaker 15: split in the Heritage Foundation, led by your homeboy Kevin Roberts, 2674 02:33:51,080 --> 02:33:55,520 Speaker 15: and in fact, many have defected to a competing foundations 2675 02:33:55,600 --> 02:33:59,360 Speaker 15: led by former Vice President Mike Pence, who of course 2676 02:33:59,600 --> 02:34:03,560 Speaker 15: is in bad relations with mister Trump and the Trump Forces, 2677 02:34:04,200 --> 02:34:09,600 Speaker 15: the so called Advancing American Freedom Coalition. A major reason 2678 02:34:09,760 --> 02:34:12,480 Speaker 15: for the split is what I just mentioned a moment 2679 02:34:12,600 --> 02:34:16,720 Speaker 15: or two ago, the split between the pro Israeli forces 2680 02:34:17,120 --> 02:34:21,600 Speaker 15: and the forces that are increasingly critical of Israel. Speaking 2681 02:34:21,720 --> 02:34:26,360 Speaker 15: of Tucker Carlson, Canvas Owens, the black woman flamethrower who 2682 02:34:26,400 --> 02:34:31,840 Speaker 15: married to fabulous wealth, for example, and the Project twenty 2683 02:34:31,879 --> 02:34:37,360 Speaker 15: twenty five and Heritage Foundation. People were seen as too 2684 02:34:37,440 --> 02:34:41,440 Speaker 15: sympathetic to Tucker Carlson and all the rest, which led 2685 02:34:41,480 --> 02:34:46,040 Speaker 15: to these mass affections to Mike Pimps's side. So those 2686 02:34:46,080 --> 02:34:48,920 Speaker 15: are tensions and contradictions we need to be aware of 2687 02:34:49,040 --> 02:34:52,080 Speaker 15: so that we can capitalize on them. 2688 02:34:52,560 --> 02:34:55,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the same split the starter with Charlie Kirk, 2689 02:34:55,360 --> 02:35:00,320 Speaker 1: though doctor Harn some people claimed that he was speaking 2690 02:35:00,320 --> 02:35:02,680 Speaker 1: about against Israel when he when he was taken out. 2691 02:35:02,720 --> 02:35:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there's also a speculation about the shooting, whether 2692 02:35:06,760 --> 02:35:08,800 Speaker 1: it was just you know, the person that they've arrested, 2693 02:35:08,879 --> 02:35:12,160 Speaker 1: or was this a sniper attack and where did to 2694 02:35:12,240 --> 02:35:14,200 Speaker 1: come from? The speaking and it all start when he 2695 02:35:14,240 --> 02:35:16,800 Speaker 1: started speaking about Israel, and as you mentioned Candide and 2696 02:35:16,840 --> 02:35:21,959 Speaker 1: Owens and also the caution now and the other fellow 2697 02:35:22,200 --> 02:35:26,280 Speaker 1: uh speaking about Israel? Is this where this is coming from? 2698 02:35:26,720 --> 02:35:27,199 Speaker 1: Do you think? 2699 02:35:28,879 --> 02:35:34,560 Speaker 15: Well, Charlie Kirk murderer is a key question because Candace 2700 02:35:34,640 --> 02:35:38,320 Speaker 15: Homans has really been capitalizing on that she was a 2701 02:35:38,520 --> 02:35:43,000 Speaker 15: former comrade of Charlie Kirk, and she has been floating 2702 02:35:43,040 --> 02:35:48,320 Speaker 15: all these theories about how possibly Israeli forces were involved 2703 02:35:48,720 --> 02:35:53,680 Speaker 15: in his killing. It is evident that before he was killed, 2704 02:35:53,760 --> 02:35:57,800 Speaker 15: Charlie Kirk was in the process of breaking with pro 2705 02:35:57,959 --> 02:36:01,320 Speaker 15: Ziona's forces. Whether or not that means that the latter 2706 02:36:02,040 --> 02:36:04,560 Speaker 15: were involved in this assassination is a force of a 2707 02:36:04,560 --> 02:36:10,959 Speaker 15: different color. But this fragmentation of the Maga coalition is 2708 02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:14,800 Speaker 15: good news because it's going to be difficult for them 2709 02:36:14,920 --> 02:36:17,800 Speaker 15: to fight us when they're too busy fighting themselves. 2710 02:36:19,959 --> 02:36:21,840 Speaker 1: Got you seventeen out of the top of that'sco New 2711 02:36:21,920 --> 02:36:25,080 Speaker 1: York City, Jase reaching outdresses online three grand rise in Jay. 2712 02:36:25,200 --> 02:36:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm with doctor Gerald Horn. 2713 02:36:28,360 --> 02:36:33,160 Speaker 7: Yes, good morning. It seems to me that at some 2714 02:36:33,400 --> 02:36:38,760 Speaker 7: point in time, the Congress and the Senate is gonna 2715 02:36:38,840 --> 02:36:43,640 Speaker 7: have to stand up to deal with this animal because 2716 02:36:44,760 --> 02:36:48,040 Speaker 7: he's just totally out of control.

Before we left, Jay was 2730 02:37:23,480 --> 02:37:25,560 Speaker 1: proposing a question for doctor Horn. So Jay, I'll let 2731 02:37:25,600 --> 02:37:27,360 Speaker 1: you finish posing your question for doctor Horn. 2732 02:37:28,560 --> 02:37:35,039 Speaker 7: Yes, two things, but the main concern is what's gonna 2733 02:37:35,120 --> 02:37:42,480 Speaker 7: happen with Bukino Fasso. Will Bukino Fosso be able to 2734 02:37:42,680 --> 02:37:49,800 Speaker 7: defend themselves against an attacked by America because it seems like, 2735 02:37:50,200 --> 02:37:55,520 Speaker 7: you know, France is extremely extremely upset with Bikino Fosso 2736 02:37:55,640 --> 02:37:59,760 Speaker 7: because they're they're basically cut them off economically with that 2737 02:38:00,800 --> 02:38:06,160 Speaker 7: is a beautiful thing. And also in regards to I 2738 02:38:06,200 --> 02:38:12,960 Speaker 7: think someone mentioned it earlier China and Veniceeuhela. From my understanding, 2739 02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:21,360 Speaker 7: China had deals with venez Auhela in regards to the oil. 2740 02:38:21,520 --> 02:38:28,680 Speaker 7: What happens to this now that basically America has tooken 2741 02:38:28,760 --> 02:38:34,200 Speaker 7: over the veniceeuhel And oil and it seems to me 2742 02:38:34,320 --> 02:38:39,320 Speaker 7: in regards to that takeover, they're just gonna allow these 2743 02:38:40,320 --> 02:38:46,760 Speaker 7: American oil companies to come in and I would guess 2744 02:38:47,240 --> 02:38:55,039 Speaker 7: rebuild it the oil and Venezuela and charge Americans for 2745 02:38:55,959 --> 02:39:01,160 Speaker 7: as Trump payback for them donating all the money and 2746 02:39:01,240 --> 02:39:05,680 Speaker 7: getting them back in all there and last three, doctor Horn, 2747 02:39:06,480 --> 02:39:11,560 Speaker 7: my prediction is by the end of the year, the 2748 02:39:11,600 --> 02:39:17,080 Speaker 7: animal will be like you said, rising and took an 2749 02:39:17,360 --> 02:39:21,160 Speaker 7: adult that. Thank you as always, my great Africans. 2750 02:39:22,200 --> 02:39:23,760 Speaker 1: All right, thanks to Horne. 2751 02:39:24,840 --> 02:39:27,959 Speaker 15: First of all, with regards to Venezuelan oil, has noted 2752 02:39:28,920 --> 02:39:35,680 Speaker 15: the Maduro comrades still hold power and Karaka this was 2753 02:39:36,040 --> 02:39:39,920 Speaker 15: a decapitation strike. They seized the leader and his spouse. 2754 02:39:40,000 --> 02:39:43,080 Speaker 15: They did not destroy the ruling party. They did not 2755 02:39:43,160 --> 02:39:47,359 Speaker 15: destroy the Venezuelan military or the Venezuelan police. They're still intact. 2756 02:39:48,320 --> 02:39:52,360 Speaker 15: So it's premature on the part of mister Trump to 2757 02:39:52,480 --> 02:39:57,560 Speaker 15: talk about running Venezuela or inviting in US oil companies 2758 02:39:57,600 --> 02:40:01,200 Speaker 15: to fix the infrastructure. This will have to be negotiated 2759 02:40:01,760 --> 02:40:05,160 Speaker 15: with regard to Bikina fosso well. Obviously there's a split 2760 02:40:05,240 --> 02:40:06,959 Speaker 15: in West Africa. On the one hand, you have this 2761 02:40:07,080 --> 02:40:12,119 Speaker 15: the Health States led bar Bikina Fasso, Nijer Mali for example, 2762 02:40:13,040 --> 02:40:16,760 Speaker 15: and then you have a block that includes Cote du Grois. 2763 02:40:17,040 --> 02:40:19,280 Speaker 15: Recall what I just said about how President of Wichar 2764 02:40:19,360 --> 02:40:25,080 Speaker 15: rob was put into power at the point of French Bayonets, 2765 02:40:25,120 --> 02:40:28,640 Speaker 15: seizing his opponent Lauren Bacco and his spouse and sending 2766 02:40:28,680 --> 02:40:32,120 Speaker 15: them off to the Ague to stand trial. Nigeria is 2767 02:40:32,160 --> 02:40:35,720 Speaker 15: the superpower of that region. It is firmly in the 2768 02:40:35,840 --> 02:40:39,840 Speaker 15: US camp called that. On Christmas Day, mister Trump, with 2769 02:40:39,920 --> 02:40:45,280 Speaker 15: the cooperation of the Nigerian authorities, bombed in Northwest Nigerian, 2770 02:40:46,040 --> 02:40:49,440 Speaker 15: which is dangerously close to the Health States. Even though 2771 02:40:50,160 --> 02:40:54,360 Speaker 15: the so called religious Zelots who call themselves Muslims or 2772 02:40:54,360 --> 02:40:58,480 Speaker 15: in the northeast part of the country. That's like there's 2773 02:40:58,520 --> 02:41:01,320 Speaker 15: a problem in Seattle or a new bomb in Boston, 2774 02:41:01,520 --> 02:41:06,879 Speaker 15: for example, or vice versa. So it's too soon to 2775 02:41:07,040 --> 02:41:10,200 Speaker 15: make predictions about what will happen in Burkina, Fostero and 2776 02:41:10,240 --> 02:41:13,400 Speaker 15: the so helled States. But certainly they're following the news 2777 02:41:13,440 --> 02:41:15,959 Speaker 15: just like we're following the news, and I'm sure they'll 2778 02:41:16,000 --> 02:41:19,840 Speaker 15: be tightening security. They'll be tightening their relations with China 2779 02:41:19,920 --> 02:41:23,360 Speaker 15: and Russia, perhaps Cuba as well, which is one of 2780 02:41:23,400 --> 02:41:26,039 Speaker 15: the many reasons why I think that this kidnapping of 2781 02:41:26,120 --> 02:41:28,080 Speaker 15: Maduro and his spouse will backfire here. 2782 02:41:29,160 --> 02:41:31,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me just add to that. Donald Trump alerted 2783 02:41:31,840 --> 02:41:35,480 Speaker 1: the oil companies here Stateside that he was going into 2784 02:41:36,000 --> 02:41:40,160 Speaker 1: and kidnap Maduro before he even did it. He told 2785 02:41:40,240 --> 02:41:42,119 Speaker 1: he gave him a tip. He also gave some news 2786 02:41:42,120 --> 02:41:45,520 Speaker 1: people that he likes a tip. But Bikino Fassa dot 2787 02:41:45,560 --> 02:41:47,160 Speaker 1: torn I'm not sure if you've heard that there was 2788 02:41:47,200 --> 02:41:51,520 Speaker 1: supposed to be a coup attempt that was thwarted, may 2789 02:41:51,560 --> 02:41:54,640 Speaker 1: have been yesterday in Bikino Fosso, so they're on the 2790 02:41:54,680 --> 02:41:57,200 Speaker 1: alert there. And what happened to some of the reports 2791 02:41:57,200 --> 02:42:00,360 Speaker 1: that I've seen is that the residents of Bikino Foshi. 2792 02:42:00,720 --> 02:42:03,800 Speaker 1: They all went to the you know, to protect the 2793 02:42:03,879 --> 02:42:06,120 Speaker 1: protect their leader because what they saw was happening. They 2794 02:42:06,200 --> 02:42:08,080 Speaker 1: heard that a coup at tempould take place and the 2795 02:42:08,080 --> 02:42:10,920 Speaker 1: French had sort of infiltrated, and they went there to 2796 02:42:10,959 --> 02:42:14,200 Speaker 1: make sure that no harm comes to Tahraar. So yeah, 2797 02:42:14,800 --> 02:42:16,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're sure if you've heard those 2798 02:42:16,360 --> 02:42:17,520 Speaker 1: reports as as well. 2799 02:42:18,480 --> 02:42:20,920 Speaker 15: Well I heard those reports. But with this underscores as 2800 02:42:20,920 --> 02:42:23,560 Speaker 15: well is that we need more organization on this side 2801 02:42:23,600 --> 02:42:27,920 Speaker 15: of the Atlantic. So the demids of trans Africa under 2802 02:42:27,959 --> 02:42:31,480 Speaker 15: the leadership of the late Randall Robinson, there have not 2803 02:42:31,760 --> 02:42:37,560 Speaker 15: been organizations headquartered in Washington with staff and resources to 2804 02:42:37,680 --> 02:42:43,800 Speaker 15: mobilize our community with regard to these challenges to African sovereignty, 2805 02:42:44,720 --> 02:42:50,520 Speaker 15: and that needs to be reinvigorated. Or alternatively, we need 2806 02:42:50,640 --> 02:42:55,480 Speaker 15: existing organizations to develop a branch or an armed focused 2807 02:42:55,560 --> 02:42:59,960 Speaker 15: on the question of solidarity in the Caribbean and in Africa. 2808 02:43:00,320 --> 02:43:04,040 Speaker 15: Because Mia Motley, the Prime Minister of Barbados, has been 2809 02:43:04,120 --> 02:43:07,400 Speaker 15: quite outspoken of late on climate change or reparations to 2810 02:43:07,520 --> 02:43:12,200 Speaker 15: descendants of enslaved Africans and the Americas. Barbados only has 2811 02:43:12,240 --> 02:43:16,680 Speaker 15: a population about three hundred thousand. If this trend of 2812 02:43:16,840 --> 02:43:21,480 Speaker 15: kidnapping leaders continues the pace, she might be in the crossairs. 2813 02:43:21,800 --> 02:43:25,040 Speaker 15: What are we going to do if that happens besides complaint? 2814 02:43:26,520 --> 02:43:30,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a conversation with the Ambassador Aaron Conna 2815 02:43:30,480 --> 02:43:33,680 Speaker 1: Chernbari Quah on Sunday and she basically said her group 2816 02:43:33,920 --> 02:43:37,000 Speaker 1: ad d I they're basically trying to fill that gapium 2817 02:43:37,040 --> 02:43:40,000 Speaker 1: the vacuum that you discussed. So we could probably hear 2818 02:43:40,000 --> 02:43:42,520 Speaker 1: from her in a few weeks about how they intend 2819 02:43:42,600 --> 02:43:44,760 Speaker 1: to do that because they've been working closely with the 2820 02:43:44,800 --> 02:43:48,039 Speaker 1: folks in Bikino Fossil twenty eight minutes after the top 2821 02:43:48,080 --> 02:43:50,480 Speaker 1: they have family eight hundred four or five zero seventy 2822 02:43:50,520 --> 02:43:53,080 Speaker 1: eight to seventy six. Sister Denise Muhammedi has joined us 2823 02:43:53,080 --> 02:43:55,480 Speaker 1: from Richmond. Slama Lek and my sister, you're on with 2824 02:43:55,520 --> 02:43:56,359 Speaker 1: doctor Gerald. 2825 02:43:56,120 --> 02:44:00,720 Speaker 20: Horn Well, Niga Salona. That a crazy Thank you for 2826 02:44:00,800 --> 02:44:04,320 Speaker 20: taking my call. I'd be looking forward to doctor man 2827 02:44:04,560 --> 02:44:09,120 Speaker 20: when it comes on. My question is we've seen over 2828 02:44:09,160 --> 02:44:13,160 Speaker 20: the years invasions and captures of leaders. 2829 02:44:12,800 --> 02:44:14,080 Speaker 17: All over the world. 2830 02:44:14,800 --> 02:44:18,920 Speaker 20: This was a legal invasion, this was illegal capture. Have 2831 02:44:19,040 --> 02:44:22,720 Speaker 20: our brother man Dua and we also have seen a 2832 02:44:22,720 --> 02:44:26,880 Speaker 20: lot of our people, leaders in power being betrayed. Our 2833 02:44:26,959 --> 02:44:31,760 Speaker 20: cabinet members, so called associates, friends, saw the treats of Mumba. 2834 02:44:32,120 --> 02:44:35,520 Speaker 20: We even saw it on this soil Hampton Mark clock 2835 02:44:35,680 --> 02:44:41,760 Speaker 20: from Chicago and all of their congresss. My question is 2836 02:44:41,760 --> 02:44:46,279 Speaker 20: is it possible somebody in whether Maduda's cabinet has something 2837 02:44:46,280 --> 02:44:48,320 Speaker 20: to do with portraying him. 2838 02:44:48,600 --> 02:44:53,280 Speaker 15: Thank you for taking my call. It's possible. The New 2839 02:44:53,360 --> 02:44:57,879 Speaker 15: York Times reports that there was CIA penetration of the 2840 02:44:57,959 --> 02:44:59,000 Speaker 15: highest levels with. 2841 02:44:59,080 --> 02:44:59,920 Speaker 4: The Maduro. 2842 02:45:01,480 --> 02:45:06,560 Speaker 15: And that in the run up to January third, you 2843 02:45:06,760 --> 02:45:13,560 Speaker 15: had the National Geospatial Agency, which is a companion agency 2844 02:45:13,600 --> 02:45:17,560 Speaker 15: of the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency, that 2845 02:45:17,720 --> 02:45:22,600 Speaker 15: was monitoring mobile phones. For example, you had drones in 2846 02:45:22,680 --> 02:45:26,000 Speaker 15: the air over Caracas, which was seeking to monitor the 2847 02:45:26,040 --> 02:45:30,560 Speaker 15: whereabouts of mister mcdurol, because like many leaders, he would 2848 02:45:30,640 --> 02:45:34,480 Speaker 15: spend the night at this place and then the next 2849 02:45:34,560 --> 02:45:37,920 Speaker 15: night he'd spent it at that place, for example. So 2850 02:45:38,160 --> 02:45:41,280 Speaker 15: even if you remove the human element in terms of 2851 02:45:41,520 --> 02:45:49,760 Speaker 15: CIA penetration, there's electronic monitoring and that can be quite effective. 2852 02:45:50,560 --> 02:45:52,720 Speaker 15: And I should also add something that has not been 2853 02:45:52,760 --> 02:45:57,160 Speaker 15: noted to this point. If the United States is capable 2854 02:45:58,040 --> 02:46:02,720 Speaker 15: of kidnapping a leader in Canakas and forcing that leader 2855 02:46:02,800 --> 02:46:06,200 Speaker 15: to stand trial, well, then obviously that opens the door 2856 02:46:06,920 --> 02:46:10,000 Speaker 15: the similar types of renditions right here in the United 2857 02:46:10,040 --> 02:46:13,720 Speaker 15: States of America, or as mister Trump floated a few 2858 02:46:13,760 --> 02:46:17,440 Speaker 15: months ago, kidnapping leaders in the United States and sending 2859 02:46:17,440 --> 02:46:20,279 Speaker 15: them to prisons in El Salvador, for example. 2860 02:46:22,040 --> 02:46:26,080 Speaker 1: Something's a ponders out there. I want you, want to 2861 02:46:26,080 --> 02:46:28,520 Speaker 1: ask you about the slavery gun on in the East 2862 02:46:28,560 --> 02:46:30,680 Speaker 1: and North Africa. But before we do that, though, Dante 2863 02:46:30,760 --> 02:46:32,760 Speaker 1: has a question for you. You're coming from Baltimore's on 2864 02:46:32,840 --> 02:46:36,039 Speaker 1: line three, Grand Rising. Dante, your question for doctor. 2865 02:46:35,760 --> 02:46:39,840 Speaker 21: Horne, Hey Grand Rising family, and hey doctor Horne. I 2866 02:46:39,879 --> 02:46:43,280 Speaker 21: had a quick question in reference to I'm Dante with 2867 02:46:43,440 --> 02:46:46,800 Speaker 21: Maculate Triple, our group where we refer business to each 2868 02:46:46,800 --> 02:46:50,600 Speaker 21: other as our community. But I've wanted to ask you 2869 02:46:50,800 --> 02:46:54,080 Speaker 21: because I want to have a guidance of what companies 2870 02:46:54,200 --> 02:46:57,280 Speaker 21: should we be focusing on, because as black people, we 2871 02:46:57,600 --> 02:46:59,640 Speaker 21: always seem to get the last end of the curve. 2872 02:47:00,120 --> 02:47:03,160 Speaker 21: What companies should we be focusing on? Following with Donald 2873 02:47:03,160 --> 02:47:05,600 Speaker 21: Trump and them a reference to the oil things and 2874 02:47:05,640 --> 02:47:09,880 Speaker 21: stuff like that going on, meaning like maybe companies that 2875 02:47:09,920 --> 02:47:12,800 Speaker 21: we should invest in because our companies are Chevron is 2876 02:47:12,800 --> 02:47:14,640 Speaker 21: going to get it and things like that, meaning we 2877 02:47:14,680 --> 02:47:17,200 Speaker 21: need to start with a new curve. Everything that was 2878 02:47:17,280 --> 02:47:19,360 Speaker 21: normal about making money is going to be out. So 2879 02:47:19,400 --> 02:47:21,560 Speaker 21: that's my question to you, because you're a critical thinker, 2880 02:47:21,920 --> 02:47:24,240 Speaker 21: what do you think we as a black people should 2881 02:47:24,280 --> 02:47:27,440 Speaker 21: start doing. As far as, of course, following what Trump 2882 02:47:27,440 --> 02:47:30,040 Speaker 21: and them are doing, meaning stocks, cryptocurrency, we have to 2883 02:47:30,080 --> 02:47:32,040 Speaker 21: learn something different. But what do you think as far 2884 02:47:32,080 --> 02:47:34,840 Speaker 21: as those companies that are over there in Venezuela. Since 2885 02:47:34,840 --> 02:47:37,800 Speaker 21: you're kind of well rounded with that Venezuela, is there 2886 02:47:37,800 --> 02:47:40,840 Speaker 21: other companies oil companies that we should invest in over 2887 02:47:40,879 --> 02:47:42,600 Speaker 21: there or over here that you can think of. 2888 02:47:44,080 --> 02:47:46,240 Speaker 15: Well, you know, I'm not an investment counselor, but I 2889 02:47:46,280 --> 02:47:50,360 Speaker 15: will say it's pretty muture to start thinking about the 2890 02:47:50,480 --> 02:47:54,160 Speaker 15: US oil companies that could profit from exploitation of veness 2891 02:47:54,160 --> 02:47:57,959 Speaker 15: One resources, because I keep saying that the regime is 2892 02:47:58,000 --> 02:48:02,800 Speaker 15: still intact and they've already offered entrede to US companies. 2893 02:48:03,240 --> 02:48:08,280 Speaker 15: Chevron obviously is already there. For example, with regard to 2894 02:48:08,280 --> 02:48:12,080 Speaker 15: investments generally, you may be aware of the fact that 2895 02:48:12,120 --> 02:48:15,280 Speaker 15: Michael Berry, who was involved in the movie The Big 2896 02:48:15,320 --> 02:48:19,240 Speaker 15: Short he bet upon the collapse of the housing market 2897 02:48:19,280 --> 02:48:22,480 Speaker 15: and made a pretty penny. Now he's betting on the 2898 02:48:22,520 --> 02:48:28,279 Speaker 15: collapse of AI. Look at all of these investments in Nvidia, 2899 02:48:28,520 --> 02:48:34,160 Speaker 15: a multi tradeon dollar corporation, Meta, Facebook invested in AI, 2900 02:48:34,800 --> 02:48:39,760 Speaker 15: Alphabet Google invested in AI, Microsoft invested in AI. He 2901 02:48:39,840 --> 02:48:42,320 Speaker 15: sees that as a bubble that's bound to be pricked. 2902 02:48:42,400 --> 02:48:46,760 Speaker 15: He's betting that there will be a collapse of that 2903 02:48:46,920 --> 02:48:51,040 Speaker 15: AI bubble. And so he's betting against the continued rise 2904 02:48:51,360 --> 02:48:53,960 Speaker 15: of the AI sector of the economy. And of course, 2905 02:48:54,400 --> 02:48:57,280 Speaker 15: just like you can bet that stocks will go up, 2906 02:48:57,360 --> 02:49:00,560 Speaker 15: you can also bet the stocks will go down. And 2907 02:49:01,120 --> 02:49:03,840 Speaker 15: actually I'm not an investment counselor, but I think he 2908 02:49:03,879 --> 02:49:04,440 Speaker 15: has a point. 2909 02:49:05,600 --> 02:49:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I said in a conversation with brother Sidiki about 2910 02:49:08,040 --> 02:49:10,520 Speaker 1: that as well. Twenty seven minutes away from the top day, 2911 02:49:11,040 --> 02:49:13,720 Speaker 1: Dr Holmer tell us about it. This issue is slavery 2912 02:49:13,800 --> 02:49:17,400 Speaker 1: still in effect in Northern Africa or in East Africa 2913 02:49:17,480 --> 02:49:20,560 Speaker 1: or in North Africa. Can you share what information you 2914 02:49:20,600 --> 02:49:21,120 Speaker 1: know about that? 2915 02:49:22,120 --> 02:49:24,600 Speaker 15: Well, you're referring to a book I'll published later this 2916 02:49:24,760 --> 02:49:30,560 Speaker 15: year which deals with slavery the slave Tree in Northern Africa, 2917 02:49:30,600 --> 02:49:35,039 Speaker 15: West Asia, particularly Saudi Arabia and the Ottoman Turks, who 2918 02:49:35,040 --> 02:49:40,560 Speaker 15: were a major player in that market. Slavery began to 2919 02:49:40,640 --> 02:49:44,439 Speaker 15: disintegrate in that part of the world decades after disintegrated 2920 02:49:44,520 --> 02:49:48,519 Speaker 15: in North America, for example, in the nineteen twenties in particular, 2921 02:49:49,160 --> 02:49:54,680 Speaker 15: but in countries like Mauritania due north of Senegal. They're 2922 02:49:54,720 --> 02:50:00,600 Speaker 15: credible report of slavery continuing to persist in Libya. After 2923 02:50:00,640 --> 02:50:06,720 Speaker 15: the overthrow of Kadafi about twenty eleven, slavery began to 2924 02:50:06,760 --> 02:50:10,200 Speaker 15: rear its ugly head once more. In my book, I'll 2925 02:50:10,240 --> 02:50:13,080 Speaker 15: talk about the fact that when the Saudi leaders came 2926 02:50:13,120 --> 02:50:18,000 Speaker 15: to Washington in nineteen fifty seven, they were accompanied by 2927 02:50:18,280 --> 02:50:24,039 Speaker 15: towering Nubian male slaves, for example, acting as their security. 2928 02:50:24,800 --> 02:50:27,360 Speaker 15: So stay tuned for my book, which. 2929 02:50:27,280 --> 02:50:32,400 Speaker 10: Would be out by Octour, And the title of the book, 2930 02:50:32,879 --> 02:50:36,800 Speaker 10: the title before the colon is Slavery and the Slave 2931 02:50:36,879 --> 02:50:39,840 Speaker 10: Trade and the Roots of US imperialism. 2932 02:50:39,920 --> 02:50:44,359 Speaker 15: And then it goes on to talk about North Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, 2933 02:50:44,920 --> 02:50:49,280 Speaker 15: West Africa, West Asia, Ottoman Turkey, and Russia. I mean, 2934 02:50:49,320 --> 02:50:53,080 Speaker 15: for example, Ethiopia had been a major target for slave 2935 02:50:53,120 --> 02:50:57,720 Speaker 15: traders going well before the era of the Atlantic slave trade, 2936 02:50:57,760 --> 02:51:01,800 Speaker 15: which commences in the fifteen hundreds, for example, and Ethiopia 2937 02:51:01,920 --> 02:51:06,800 Speaker 15: internally also had slavery as well. 2938 02:51:08,840 --> 02:51:11,600 Speaker 1: Wow, twenty five away from the top val I guess, 2939 02:51:11,680 --> 02:51:17,440 Speaker 1: doctor Gerald Horn, Doctor Horn, Somaliland. Why is Israel recognizing 2940 02:51:17,480 --> 02:51:18,960 Speaker 1: Somali Land? What's going on there? 2941 02:51:20,480 --> 02:51:23,879 Speaker 15: Well, this goes back to the era of colonialism, when 2942 02:51:24,200 --> 02:51:31,760 Speaker 15: Somaya was carved up by European colonizers and Italy was 2943 02:51:32,000 --> 02:51:34,720 Speaker 15: a colonizer in that part of Africa, and Britain was 2944 02:51:34,760 --> 02:51:41,000 Speaker 15: a colonizer, and that set the stage for the breakaway 2945 02:51:41,080 --> 02:51:44,720 Speaker 15: province of Somali Land, which broke away from the larger Somaya. 2946 02:51:45,879 --> 02:51:51,359 Speaker 15: And what's happened now is that Somaliland, this breakaway province, 2947 02:51:51,920 --> 02:51:57,039 Speaker 15: has declared a kind of independence. They've been recognized by Israel. 2948 02:51:57,280 --> 02:52:02,520 Speaker 15: Israel thinks that it can have an ally against the 2949 02:52:02,640 --> 02:52:06,240 Speaker 15: Yemenies across the Red Sea. Recalled that during the post 2950 02:52:06,280 --> 02:52:11,640 Speaker 15: October seventh War in Gossm that the Yemenies were shooting 2951 02:52:11,720 --> 02:52:16,040 Speaker 15: missiles into the Israeli Port of a Lot, basically shutting 2952 02:52:16,040 --> 02:52:22,320 Speaker 15: that port down. But this Israeli recognition has outraged many neighbors, 2953 02:52:22,360 --> 02:52:27,920 Speaker 15: including Egypt and Eritrea. In the first instance, Ethiopia, of course, 2954 02:52:28,520 --> 02:52:32,520 Speaker 15: is playing a sort of double game because it wants 2955 02:52:32,560 --> 02:52:35,400 Speaker 15: an outlet to the sea and hit. It broken an 2956 02:52:35,440 --> 02:52:40,600 Speaker 15: agreement with Somaliland to have such access, but it does 2957 02:52:40,640 --> 02:52:43,680 Speaker 15: not want to be on the bad side of Egypt 2958 02:52:44,000 --> 02:52:48,120 Speaker 15: and Eritrea simultaneously, so it's walking a fine line. The 2959 02:52:48,200 --> 02:52:52,200 Speaker 15: Arab League the African Union are hotly opposed to this 2960 02:52:52,560 --> 02:52:57,560 Speaker 15: Israeli recognition. And in fact, before this Maduro issue was 2961 02:52:57,680 --> 02:53:01,200 Speaker 15: raised today as a security account, what we expected a 2962 02:53:01,240 --> 02:53:04,880 Speaker 15: debate about some money land. I assume it's been postponed. 2963 02:53:06,080 --> 02:53:08,120 Speaker 1: Old that though right there, twenty three minutes away from 2964 02:53:08,160 --> 02:53:09,400 Speaker 1: the top day and we come back. I on to 2965 02:53:09,440 --> 02:53:13,000 Speaker 1: talk about Zambia using the yuhon the Chinese money, you han, 2966 02:53:13,240 --> 02:53:14,840 Speaker 1: Is this what we'll see is going to happen now 2967 02:53:14,879 --> 02:53:17,600 Speaker 1: instead of trading in dollars, they go into the Chinese yuhan. 2968 02:53:17,760 --> 02:53:21,440 Speaker 1: Is that the going to be the world's reverse reserve currency. 2969 02:53:21,440 --> 02:53:23,480 Speaker 1: I'll let you tell us about that when we get back. 2970 02:53:23,560 --> 02:53:25,680 Speaker 1: As I mentioned, it's twenty three minutes away from the top. Yeah, 2971 02:53:25,680 --> 02:53:27,720 Speaker 1: with doctor Jerrold Horne, you got a question for him? Family, 2972 02:53:27,760 --> 02:53:30,160 Speaker 1: reach out to us I telephone numbers easy, It's eight 2973 02:53:30,240 --> 02:53:32,960 Speaker 1: hundred four or five zero, seventy eight, seventy six, and 2974 02:53:33,000 --> 02:53:35,879 Speaker 1: we'll taket phone calls next and Grand Rising family, thanks 2975 02:53:35,879 --> 02:53:37,640 Speaker 1: for sticking with us on this Monday morning. Thanks for 2976 02:53:37,680 --> 02:53:39,560 Speaker 1: starting your week with us. Is seventeen minutes away from 2977 02:53:39,560 --> 02:53:42,640 Speaker 1: the top our guest doctor Gerald Horn, Doctor Jerild Horne. 2978 02:53:42,640 --> 02:53:44,960 Speaker 1: Before we left to break, my question to you about Zambia. 2979 02:53:44,959 --> 02:53:47,920 Speaker 1: Sambia is doing business with China and they're paying using 2980 02:53:48,120 --> 02:53:51,000 Speaker 1: the Chinese yuon. Is this the what we see is 2981 02:53:51,040 --> 02:53:53,480 Speaker 1: the future? Is the euon going to be replaced the 2982 02:53:54,240 --> 02:53:57,240 Speaker 1: dollar as the world's reverse reserve currency? 2983 02:53:58,640 --> 02:53:59,080 Speaker 3: Well, you know it. 2984 02:53:59,080 --> 02:54:02,840 Speaker 15: At a certain point the twentieth century, the British palm 2985 02:54:03,120 --> 02:54:06,760 Speaker 15: was replaced by the US dollar as the British Empire 2986 02:54:07,440 --> 02:54:11,680 Speaker 15: went into a downward spiral. The US Empire is in 2987 02:54:11,720 --> 02:54:15,560 Speaker 15: the process of being in a downward spiral as well, 2988 02:54:16,440 --> 02:54:21,840 Speaker 15: the crisis in Venezuela. Notwithstanding, I think that it's been 2989 02:54:21,879 --> 02:54:26,240 Speaker 15: avoidable that in the twenty first century the US dollar 2990 02:54:26,280 --> 02:54:30,800 Speaker 15: will be supplanted, perhaps by the Chinese currency, perhaps by 2991 02:54:30,840 --> 02:54:33,720 Speaker 15: a basket of currencies, that is to say, the euro 2992 02:54:34,720 --> 02:54:39,280 Speaker 15: for example, which is involved in the European Union. As 2993 02:54:39,280 --> 02:54:41,440 Speaker 15: you know, in the European Union has a larger market 2994 02:54:42,280 --> 02:54:45,000 Speaker 15: than that of the United States of America or fifty 2995 02:54:45,040 --> 02:54:48,760 Speaker 15: three million versus three hundred and forty three million. So 2996 02:54:49,840 --> 02:54:54,320 Speaker 15: with regard to what the previous caller was talking about 2997 02:54:54,360 --> 02:54:59,039 Speaker 15: in terms of investment advice, you may in terms of 2998 02:54:59,080 --> 02:55:02,120 Speaker 15: your stock poll and once again I'm not an investment 2999 02:55:02,200 --> 02:55:07,720 Speaker 15: counselor you may want to short or not necessarily be 3000 02:55:07,800 --> 02:55:13,279 Speaker 15: heavily invested in a number of US corporations, for example, 3001 02:55:13,680 --> 02:55:18,040 Speaker 15: these corporations that are investing so heavily in Ai and 3002 02:55:18,120 --> 02:55:20,760 Speaker 15: may want to look beyond the shores of this country. 3003 02:55:22,160 --> 02:55:25,440 Speaker 1: Gotcha hearing that as well. Sixteen Away from the Top, 3004 02:55:25,959 --> 02:55:28,320 Speaker 1: a tweet question for you. Tweet says ask a doctor 3005 02:55:28,360 --> 02:55:31,520 Speaker 1: Horn that I read that the Arab slave trade in 3006 02:55:31,560 --> 02:55:34,520 Speaker 1: Africa was more damaging than the trans Atlantic slave trade. 3007 02:55:34,600 --> 02:55:35,480 Speaker 1: Is that true? 3008 02:55:37,080 --> 02:55:39,800 Speaker 15: Well, it depends on what you mean by damaging, and 3009 02:55:39,800 --> 02:55:43,800 Speaker 15: it depends on what you mean by the Arab slave trade. Certainly, 3010 02:55:43,840 --> 02:55:48,080 Speaker 15: as my book will suggest, there was a slave trade 3011 02:55:48,160 --> 02:55:53,640 Speaker 15: heading northward to North Africa, particularly to Morocco, and there 3012 02:55:53,680 --> 02:55:59,640 Speaker 15: was a slave trade heading eastward to Saudi Arabia, heading 3013 02:55:59,720 --> 02:56:03,959 Speaker 15: north worked to Automan Turkey, for example, and it lasted 3014 02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:06,640 Speaker 15: longer than the Atlantic slave trade, and to that extent, 3015 02:56:06,680 --> 02:56:09,800 Speaker 15: I guess you could say it was more damaging than 3016 02:56:09,840 --> 02:56:15,360 Speaker 15: the Atlantic slave trade. And it's something that really needs 3017 02:56:15,480 --> 02:56:18,760 Speaker 15: more ventilation. And that's what my book intends to address. 3018 02:56:19,920 --> 02:56:21,920 Speaker 1: And the title of the book One more Time dot. 3019 02:56:23,520 --> 02:56:28,760 Speaker 15: Slavery and the slave Trade in the Roots of US Imperialism. 3020 02:56:29,760 --> 02:56:35,120 Speaker 15: Then the subtitle is North Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, West Asia, Automa, 3021 02:56:35,200 --> 02:56:36,039 Speaker 15: Turkey and Russia. 3022 02:56:37,360 --> 02:56:39,400 Speaker 1: I had another tweet question for you. Tweeter says, the 3023 02:56:39,440 --> 02:56:43,200 Speaker 1: Russians and China all have ships parked near Venezuela. Was 3024 02:56:43,200 --> 02:56:45,160 Speaker 1: there a deal cut with them about the oil? 3025 02:56:47,200 --> 02:56:50,959 Speaker 15: Well, it's no secret that the Russian and China are 3026 02:56:51,080 --> 02:56:54,920 Speaker 15: close to the regime in Caracas has noted. The Chinese 3027 02:56:55,000 --> 02:56:58,400 Speaker 15: leadership was meeting in Caracas with President Maduro right before 3028 02:56:58,400 --> 02:57:03,480 Speaker 15: he was kidnapped. The tankers that are leaving with oil 3029 02:57:04,080 --> 02:57:08,680 Speaker 15: from Venezuela, some of them have thrown up a Russian 3030 02:57:08,720 --> 02:57:13,519 Speaker 15: flag to prevent the US authorities from boarding them and 3031 02:57:13,560 --> 02:57:16,360 Speaker 15: seizing the tanker and sailing them into Houston, which happened 3032 02:57:16,760 --> 02:57:20,120 Speaker 15: a few weeks ago. But this is a matter of 3033 02:57:20,120 --> 02:57:22,720 Speaker 15: public record. It does not require speculation. 3034 02:57:23,720 --> 02:57:26,040 Speaker 1: And you mentioned the system Martley from the I think 3035 02:57:26,080 --> 02:57:29,200 Speaker 1: Barbados earlier, there has been it seems to be a 3036 02:57:29,240 --> 02:57:33,280 Speaker 1: schism in the Caribbean nations about with Venezuela, with trend 3037 02:57:33,320 --> 02:57:37,360 Speaker 1: add and Tobago supporting. What's going on with Venezuela. How 3038 02:57:37,440 --> 02:57:40,400 Speaker 1: is that working out for cara Com. 3039 02:57:40,560 --> 02:57:44,560 Speaker 15: Well, it's very unfortunate the position of Venezuela. And I 3040 02:57:44,680 --> 02:57:48,359 Speaker 15: might also add that Guyana, which is the only predominantly 3041 02:57:48,360 --> 02:57:51,320 Speaker 15: English speaking nation in South America but is considered part 3042 02:57:51,360 --> 02:57:55,440 Speaker 15: of the Caribbean Bloc and cara Com, they have territorial 3043 02:57:55,480 --> 02:57:58,520 Speaker 15: disputes with Venezuela stretching back to the end of the 3044 02:57:58,560 --> 02:58:03,000 Speaker 15: nineteenth century. They have not necessarily been opposed to. This 3045 02:58:03,760 --> 02:58:09,320 Speaker 15: anti Maduro crusade spiritaded by Washington obviously has introduced a 3046 02:58:09,560 --> 02:58:14,880 Speaker 15: rift into care COM. Even though Cuba is not necessarily 3047 02:58:15,520 --> 02:58:18,360 Speaker 15: a one hundred percent member of care COM, it wields 3048 02:58:18,360 --> 02:58:21,120 Speaker 15: a lot of influence in the region because of dispatching 3049 02:58:21,120 --> 02:58:24,520 Speaker 15: of doctors and medics. And this is a rift that's 3050 02:58:24,560 --> 02:58:29,160 Speaker 15: going to have to be addressed, because we should warn 3051 02:58:29,400 --> 02:58:33,080 Speaker 15: the leaders of Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana in particular 3052 02:58:34,040 --> 02:58:36,560 Speaker 15: that if they don't play ball with Washington, they could 3053 02:58:36,600 --> 02:58:40,560 Speaker 15: be subjected their leaders at least to Maduro type kidnappings. 3054 02:58:40,560 --> 02:58:43,080 Speaker 15: And Guyana does not have to be reminded of that. 3055 02:58:43,160 --> 02:58:46,440 Speaker 15: Recalled that when it tries to declare to a certain 3056 02:58:46,520 --> 02:58:49,320 Speaker 15: kind of sovereignty in nineteen fifty three, that they were 3057 02:58:49,320 --> 02:58:53,200 Speaker 15: subjected to destabilization by the CIA for years, helping to 3058 02:58:53,240 --> 02:58:58,360 Speaker 15: stir up tensions and exacerbate tensions between the African population 3059 02:58:58,480 --> 02:59:02,039 Speaker 15: and the South Asian population, for example, tensions that continued 3060 02:59:02,040 --> 02:59:02,920 Speaker 15: to purpoly. 3061 02:59:04,080 --> 02:59:06,680 Speaker 1: And having said that though Guyana just e real, just 3062 02:59:06,920 --> 02:59:08,560 Speaker 1: I guess in a year or so ago they just 3063 02:59:08,560 --> 02:59:12,120 Speaker 1: discovered more oil reserves or petroleum oil reserves, could that 3064 02:59:12,160 --> 02:59:14,400 Speaker 1: be a target as well for the Guyanese. 3065 02:59:15,080 --> 02:59:19,720 Speaker 15: Well, yes, the Guyanese have discovered oil. Of course, they're 3066 02:59:19,760 --> 02:59:23,840 Speaker 15: playing ball with the US oil investors, and that's one 3067 02:59:23,879 --> 02:59:25,480 Speaker 15: of the reasons they have not been in the cross 3068 02:59:25,480 --> 02:59:28,279 Speaker 15: the ears. The problem from watching this point of view 3069 02:59:28,720 --> 02:59:33,240 Speaker 15: with regard to Venezuela was not that the Venezuelans were 3070 02:59:33,280 --> 02:59:35,960 Speaker 15: trying to keep the Yankees out of the oil fields. 3071 02:59:36,520 --> 02:59:40,560 Speaker 15: They just wanted more revenue from the oil, just like 3072 02:59:40,720 --> 02:59:43,480 Speaker 15: with regardless of the health States, you noticed that when 3073 02:59:43,480 --> 02:59:47,320 Speaker 15: you had to change of regime in Nizir, the Nigerian 3074 02:59:47,360 --> 02:59:51,680 Speaker 15: authorities not try to keep the French from getting the uranium. 3075 02:59:51,720 --> 02:59:55,560 Speaker 15: They just wanted a higher price for the urinium. And 3076 02:59:55,600 --> 03:00:00,640 Speaker 15: increasingly that's the dividing line. During the Cold War it 3077 03:00:00,680 --> 03:00:03,760 Speaker 15: was different and so far as nations wanted total control 3078 03:00:04,720 --> 03:00:07,720 Speaker 15: over their natural resources. Now they just want a better price. 3079 03:00:08,360 --> 03:00:11,720 Speaker 15: But that's not good enough for the imperials. 3080 03:00:11,720 --> 03:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Ten away from the top of this, now that the 3081 03:00:14,080 --> 03:00:16,879 Speaker 1: United States comes in that this increased the blockade against 3082 03:00:16,879 --> 03:00:20,200 Speaker 1: Cuba because Cuba is getting oil from Venezuela. Is this 3083 03:00:20,280 --> 03:00:23,760 Speaker 1: a plan to uh, you know, to destabilize the Cuban 3084 03:00:23,800 --> 03:00:26,280 Speaker 1: government by getting that the residents. The Cuban residents all 3085 03:00:26,360 --> 03:00:29,160 Speaker 1: upset because the economy is going in the tank and 3086 03:00:29,160 --> 03:00:32,640 Speaker 1: they'll blame their leaders. Is that is that the long 3087 03:00:32,760 --> 03:00:36,440 Speaker 1: term plan? Do you think for this administration, especially with 3088 03:00:36,520 --> 03:00:39,440 Speaker 1: Marco Rudio Rubio, he wants to go after the Cuban leaders. 3089 03:00:39,800 --> 03:00:41,640 Speaker 1: You think this is in the crossairs they're in the 3090 03:00:41,640 --> 03:00:43,520 Speaker 1: crossairs now of the administration. 3091 03:00:44,360 --> 03:00:47,000 Speaker 15: Well, clearly they are, but they need to pay attention 3092 03:00:47,560 --> 03:00:51,800 Speaker 15: to their own front yard. Recall that you just had 3093 03:00:51,840 --> 03:00:55,400 Speaker 15: an election in Miami and for the first time in decades, 3094 03:00:55,840 --> 03:01:02,400 Speaker 15: the Cuban American Mafia were defeated by Eileen Higgins. Similarly, 3095 03:01:03,080 --> 03:01:07,320 Speaker 15: you have the irony taking place of Cubans without proper 3096 03:01:07,400 --> 03:01:13,000 Speaker 15: documentation in South Florida being deported to Guantanamo where Haitians 3097 03:01:13,040 --> 03:01:18,320 Speaker 15: were formerly housed. So with regard to engaging these seaver 3098 03:01:18,560 --> 03:01:22,200 Speaker 15: dreams about regime change and Havana, I would urge and 3099 03:01:22,280 --> 03:01:25,879 Speaker 15: suggest to the Cuban Americans of South Florida that they 3100 03:01:26,000 --> 03:01:31,680 Speaker 15: put pressure on the Trumpet regime so that their comrades 3101 03:01:32,200 --> 03:01:33,680 Speaker 15: do not wind up in Guantanamo. 3102 03:01:35,080 --> 03:01:40,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about some sports. Doctor Horn San Antonio 3103 03:01:40,160 --> 03:01:43,279 Speaker 1: Spurs your thoughts on them and Wemby your thoughts on Wenby. 3104 03:01:43,320 --> 03:01:45,480 Speaker 1: Some people say that they thought he would be more 3105 03:01:45,920 --> 03:01:48,800 Speaker 1: dominating in the paint. They would be he'd be more dominating, 3106 03:01:48,840 --> 03:01:51,280 Speaker 1: the spurs would be running away with the NBA, and 3107 03:01:51,280 --> 03:01:53,760 Speaker 1: they're not seeing that because he's kind of like a 3108 03:01:53,760 --> 03:01:55,960 Speaker 1: finesse kind of player, kind of reminds you of Careem 3109 03:01:56,000 --> 03:02:00,440 Speaker 1: Abdul Jabarbie. They're not that you know, robust guy in 3110 03:02:00,720 --> 03:02:02,920 Speaker 1: the center, you know, throwing down dunks and you know, 3111 03:02:03,000 --> 03:02:05,720 Speaker 1: like the regular centers dude, and your thoughts on Wemby 3112 03:02:05,720 --> 03:02:07,959 Speaker 1: and the San Antonio Spurs, Well. 3113 03:02:07,800 --> 03:02:09,080 Speaker 15: This is where you have to keep up with the 3114 03:02:09,120 --> 03:02:11,800 Speaker 15: news because in the past few weeks the Spurs have 3115 03:02:11,879 --> 03:02:16,640 Speaker 15: defeated the reigning champion Oklahoma City thundered three times in 3116 03:02:16,680 --> 03:02:23,240 Speaker 15: a row, and Wemby has You know, he's not muscular 3117 03:02:23,440 --> 03:02:29,039 Speaker 15: like Shaquille for example, he is thinner, but he's taking 3118 03:02:29,120 --> 03:02:33,640 Speaker 15: less three pointers this year. He right now, I would say, 3119 03:02:33,800 --> 03:02:38,200 Speaker 15: is the most dominant player in the NBA and will 3120 03:02:38,240 --> 03:02:41,400 Speaker 15: only get better. Recall that he's spent the off season 3121 03:02:42,840 --> 03:02:46,680 Speaker 15: in China working on martial arts and working on his 3122 03:02:46,840 --> 03:02:53,240 Speaker 15: muscular ture and his psychology for example. He plans to 3123 03:02:53,280 --> 03:02:56,760 Speaker 15: continue that regime and probably incorporate other sorts of regimes. 3124 03:02:57,280 --> 03:03:00,120 Speaker 15: So the sky is the limit for Wemby. 3125 03:03:02,400 --> 03:03:06,600 Speaker 1: NFL Today's Black Monday Sunday. Atlanta got rid of their 3126 03:03:06,640 --> 03:03:09,920 Speaker 1: coach in just moments ago. The Browns have fired Kevin Stefanski. 3127 03:03:10,320 --> 03:03:13,200 Speaker 1: He had issues with Shador at quarterback that were saying 3128 03:03:13,240 --> 03:03:15,280 Speaker 1: that he didn't want it should or to play the quarterback. 3129 03:03:15,320 --> 03:03:18,000 Speaker 1: He wanted somebody else dying. I think the backup how 3130 03:03:18,000 --> 03:03:19,920 Speaker 1: many coaches you think the A're gonna get fired today, 3131 03:03:20,600 --> 03:03:23,199 Speaker 1: Dr Horn. Who's coaches on the bubble? 3132 03:03:23,280 --> 03:03:28,800 Speaker 15: I mean Pete Carroll of the Los Vegas formerly Oakland Raiders. 3133 03:03:29,600 --> 03:03:31,960 Speaker 15: I'm surprised he hasn't been fired as them yet look 3134 03:03:32,000 --> 03:03:34,879 Speaker 15: at your news war. I mean, I can't believe that 3135 03:03:34,959 --> 03:03:37,680 Speaker 15: he'll survive, even though, if I'm not mistaken, they were 3136 03:03:37,720 --> 03:03:40,640 Speaker 15: able to beat the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday, if I'm 3137 03:03:40,640 --> 03:03:46,039 Speaker 15: not mistaken. But there'll be a number of coaches looking 3138 03:03:46,040 --> 03:03:50,240 Speaker 15: for new jobs. And the coach at Notre Dame, for example, 3139 03:03:50,360 --> 03:03:54,119 Speaker 15: was being mentioned for a number of these NFL posts. 3140 03:03:54,160 --> 03:03:55,959 Speaker 15: But if I were him, I'd stick with Notre Dame. 3141 03:03:57,360 --> 03:03:58,680 Speaker 1: Let me throw out some of the coaches that I 3142 03:03:58,760 --> 03:04:01,840 Speaker 1: think may make end up being on the employment line today. 3143 03:04:01,840 --> 03:04:03,560 Speaker 1: In Miami, for one, were your thoughts of. 3144 03:04:03,560 --> 03:04:11,480 Speaker 15: That well, Coach McDaniel in many ways has ruined to 3145 03:04:12,000 --> 03:04:14,800 Speaker 15: the quarterback. I mean, they signed him to a big 3146 03:04:14,840 --> 03:04:19,320 Speaker 15: time contract right before the season commenced, and then he 3147 03:04:19,360 --> 03:04:22,959 Speaker 15: wound up on the bench. He's been subjected to concussions. 3148 03:04:23,640 --> 03:04:27,760 Speaker 15: Miami has disappointed this year. I expect him to be 3149 03:04:27,920 --> 03:04:30,400 Speaker 15: on his way out the door sooner rather than later. 3150 03:04:31,360 --> 03:04:33,760 Speaker 1: And our friends up the road in Baltimore, that coach 3151 03:04:34,400 --> 03:04:35,440 Speaker 1: is on the bubble as well. 3152 03:04:36,000 --> 03:04:38,560 Speaker 6: Your thoughts, well, clearly. 3153 03:04:38,760 --> 03:04:42,160 Speaker 15: I mean many of us expected Baltimore to wind up 3154 03:04:42,240 --> 03:04:46,160 Speaker 15: in the Super Bowl, for example, and he has not 3155 03:04:46,400 --> 03:04:50,199 Speaker 15: used Dereck Henry. Well, Derrick Henry may be the best 3156 03:04:50,280 --> 03:04:54,920 Speaker 15: running back in the NFL, but until recently, he was 3157 03:04:54,920 --> 03:04:57,760 Speaker 15: not getting that many touches even in the fourth quarter, 3158 03:04:58,400 --> 03:05:00,360 Speaker 15: and that was a real hip scratcher. I mean, I 3159 03:05:00,360 --> 03:05:03,680 Speaker 15: don't know if there's some sort of internal dispute that 3160 03:05:03,800 --> 03:05:07,800 Speaker 15: helps to govern that. But coach Hardball, I think, also 3161 03:05:07,920 --> 03:05:08,960 Speaker 15: is on his way out. 3162 03:05:10,560 --> 03:05:12,360 Speaker 1: Jets you looking for a new coach? 3163 03:05:15,400 --> 03:05:18,200 Speaker 15: Well, the poor New York Jets. I mean, I feel 3164 03:05:18,200 --> 03:05:20,680 Speaker 15: sorry for Aaron Glenn, the brother who is the coach, 3165 03:05:20,760 --> 03:05:23,960 Speaker 15: because they just don't have enough horses, they don't have 3166 03:05:24,080 --> 03:05:29,200 Speaker 15: enough good players, and I'm not sure if any coach 3167 03:05:29,240 --> 03:05:33,040 Speaker 15: could turn that team around. And it's easier to fire 3168 03:05:33,080 --> 03:05:37,160 Speaker 15: the coach than to fire four dozen plus football players. 3169 03:05:37,600 --> 03:05:39,640 Speaker 15: And that's the sad fate of Aaron Glenn. 3170 03:05:40,480 --> 03:05:43,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're in bad shape. And Cincinnati and Arizona the 3171 03:05:43,640 --> 03:05:46,360 Speaker 1: other two, I think their coaches may be on the 3172 03:05:46,440 --> 03:05:47,640 Speaker 1: unemployment line today. 3173 03:05:49,720 --> 03:05:52,640 Speaker 15: Well, with regard to Aaron Zona, they put a lot 3174 03:05:52,680 --> 03:05:56,720 Speaker 15: of stock in a mini sized quarterback. Speaking of Kyle 3175 03:05:56,760 --> 03:06:01,080 Speaker 15: and Merray, who's only about five nine, for example, he 3176 03:06:01,160 --> 03:06:05,119 Speaker 15: is fast, he is quick, but he keeps getting injured 3177 03:06:05,360 --> 03:06:09,240 Speaker 15: because it's hard going up against these three hundred pound 3178 03:06:09,800 --> 03:06:14,280 Speaker 15: defensive tackles and defensive ends when you're a five foot 3179 03:06:14,440 --> 03:06:18,600 Speaker 15: nine inch bowing ball, for example. And I think that 3180 03:06:18,680 --> 03:06:22,000 Speaker 15: the coach will have to pay the ultimate price because 3181 03:06:22,000 --> 03:06:23,600 Speaker 15: they're not going to get rid of Kyler Merrick. 3182 03:06:25,879 --> 03:06:28,120 Speaker 1: Right, and doctor Haunt, And I got to ask you 3183 03:06:28,120 --> 03:06:31,000 Speaker 1: about the draft. The first round pick is Indiana's quarterback. 3184 03:06:31,040 --> 03:06:32,440 Speaker 1: Do you see him as the first round is at 3185 03:06:32,440 --> 03:06:34,840 Speaker 1: a consensus choice to be the first round pick in 3186 03:06:34,840 --> 03:06:35,400 Speaker 1: the draft? 3187 03:06:35,440 --> 03:06:38,160 Speaker 15: I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Even though Indiana has 3188 03:06:38,200 --> 03:06:41,879 Speaker 15: really surprised, I still find it hard to believe that 3189 03:06:41,920 --> 03:06:45,119 Speaker 15: they've done so well this year. I mean, they've already 3190 03:06:45,160 --> 03:06:49,039 Speaker 15: beaten Oregon once this year. For example, I expected Ohio 3191 03:06:49,080 --> 03:06:50,800 Speaker 15: State to go all the way, but then they got 3192 03:06:50,840 --> 03:06:54,879 Speaker 15: upset by Miami. So with regard to the first round 3193 03:06:55,200 --> 03:06:59,800 Speaker 15: draft choice, I'm not really sure. Who you think Mendoza 3194 03:07:00,040 --> 03:07:05,840 Speaker 15: the Indiana quarterback. Yeah, yeah, it's possible. I mean it's 3195 03:07:05,840 --> 03:07:12,080 Speaker 15: hard to argue against a winning record, but uh, I 3196 03:07:12,120 --> 03:07:17,000 Speaker 15: don't know. I think that Arch Manning of Texas he 3197 03:07:17,080 --> 03:07:22,119 Speaker 15: said he's coming back next year. And the X factor 3198 03:07:22,200 --> 03:07:26,640 Speaker 15: is the fact that with the NIL money that these 3199 03:07:26,800 --> 03:07:30,760 Speaker 15: college teams can basically pay these quarterbacks five or six 3200 03:07:30,800 --> 03:07:33,320 Speaker 15: million dollars a year, although if they go to the 3201 03:07:33,480 --> 03:07:35,520 Speaker 15: NFL they might get twice as much. 3202 03:07:36,959 --> 03:07:39,360 Speaker 1: Sure that And also a sisters niece want to ask 3203 03:07:39,360 --> 03:07:41,800 Speaker 1: about Cleveland Browns coach. He has been fired, sistant and 3204 03:07:41,879 --> 03:07:44,480 Speaker 1: he said the moments ago the Browns let him go. 3205 03:07:44,640 --> 03:07:47,160 Speaker 1: There was there's a lot of chat about having his 3206 03:07:47,360 --> 03:07:51,280 Speaker 1: use of Sad Sanders during the season. After a while 3207 03:07:51,280 --> 03:07:53,480 Speaker 1: they let him play, but I think there was management 3208 03:07:53,560 --> 03:07:56,680 Speaker 1: putting pressure on him. Your thoughts on but real quickly 3209 03:07:57,200 --> 03:07:59,600 Speaker 1: is the equality quarterback? You think he's got a He's 3210 03:07:59,600 --> 03:08:02,240 Speaker 1: got a few in the NFL, Oh, clearly. 3211 03:08:02,320 --> 03:08:05,039 Speaker 15: I mean he has quick feet, he has a strong arm, 3212 03:08:05,640 --> 03:08:11,200 Speaker 15: he's relatively speedy. Once again, I would rather baffle and 3213 03:08:11,360 --> 03:08:14,360 Speaker 15: why he did not receive more playing time. But then again, 3214 03:08:14,720 --> 03:08:19,320 Speaker 15: look at Colin Kaepernick, for example, who has been banned 3215 03:08:19,360 --> 03:08:22,480 Speaker 15: from the NFL. When the Indiana coach needed a quarterback 3216 03:08:22,800 --> 03:08:27,160 Speaker 15: after Daniel Jones went down. They drafted a relative senior 3217 03:08:27,200 --> 03:08:31,600 Speaker 15: citizen speaking of grandfatherly Philip Rubmins, to be their QB 3218 03:08:32,480 --> 03:08:34,920 Speaker 15: when they could have drafted and they could have recruited 3219 03:08:34,959 --> 03:08:38,120 Speaker 15: to Colin Kaepernick. So these are some very narrow minded 3220 03:08:38,160 --> 03:08:40,080 Speaker 15: executives and pro football. 3221 03:08:40,560 --> 03:08:43,240 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, before we let you go, how can folks 3222 03:08:43,240 --> 03:08:44,480 Speaker 1: follow you, doctor horn. 3223 03:08:45,760 --> 03:08:46,000 Speaker 7: Well? 3224 03:08:46,560 --> 03:08:49,680 Speaker 15: Basically through you Tube because I'm putting content there.
