1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: The Mark Simon Show on.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: Or Well, I'm back way too long a vacation. Every

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: host was gone for two weeks. That today everybody back

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: to normal. Everybody's back. You know, it's nice to get

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: away a nice, quiet vacation. As I was saying, the

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: President of the United States, Donald Trump, very unusual. Normally

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: a president takes a break, a vacation. Bush would go

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: to the ranch, the ranch, quiet, peaceful, roaring fire, quiet

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: on the ranch, Joe Biden, would you know some billionaire

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: oligarch would lend him the house on Nantucket? He goes,

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: sit there on Nantucket? Is it Martha's vineyard? Even quieter?

12
00:00:52,880 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: Martha's vineyard? Roaring fire, snow outside, quiet, Trump on vacation

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: goes tomorrow a lago. That place Christmas Week is a

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: billion people all crammed into. It's the most crowded, chaotic,

15
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: noisy place you've ever seen. It's just a total circus

16
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: going on there around the clock. Now that's the way

17
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: he is. In fact, after two weeks there, I watched

18
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: him last night fly back to the White House. The

19
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: helicopter landed on the lawn and he walked into the

20
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: White House. The White House for him is getting away.

21
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: The White House was peace and quiet for him, compared

22
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: to the unbelievably chaotic Mara A Lago, just packed with people.

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: You hear all these people, you see them on Instagram.

24
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: Who went tomorrow Lago for the New Year's Eve party

25
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: or for Christmas dinner? Or you see him there in

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: the dining looks so nice and beautiful, and you think,

27
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: quite a wonderful Where do he actually go there? You know,

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: you know, just pull up to the door and get

29
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: out of the car in the valley whisks your car away.

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: It's not that simple. You pull up like four blocks

31
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: away to a checkpoint where the Secret Service, the FBI,

32
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: guns big massive machine guns in their hand and dogs everywhere,

33
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: take your car apart for twenty minutes. You have to

34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 2: open the hood, you have to open the trunk. They

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: have to look They literally look through your engine. They

36
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: inspect every inch of your car inside. They even get

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: under your car. They have a long pole with a

38
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: mirror that they slip under your car. They look at everything.

39
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: This takes forever. This is not to mention frisking you,

40
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: searching you, checking all your identity. This is like a

41
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: forty minute process. It makes tsa at the airport look

42
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: like a breeze. This is just to get into Borrow Lago.

43
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: It's just it's a crazy place. But we're glad everybody's back.

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: So the CBS Evening News has a brand new anchor

45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: and tonight was supposed to be his big debut. But

46
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: then Saturday night, the Maduro capture takes place. This is

47
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: big breaking news. So they decided the new anchor, I

48
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: tell you his name, but who the hell can remember it?

49
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: And why remember it? The last three anchors of the

50
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: CBS Evening News actually in pay for the last five

51
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: of them. Nobody remembers anyway. But he decided he would

52
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: anchor the Saturday night Evening News, that he would move

53
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: it up and that would be his debut, and it

54
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: was quite shocking. You know. They got this new Barry

55
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: Weiss who took over CBS News claims she's going to

56
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: clean up the corruption is CBS News is the dirtiest,

57
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: most corrupt, slanted, partisan, misleading, biased news organization. She claims

58
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: she would clean it up. Well, there was evidence of that.

59
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: Saturday Night, the CBS Evening News with the new guy.

60
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: I think his name is David something, who the hell

61
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: knows but he took over, and the big story that

62
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: consumed the whole half hour newscast was the Maduro capture.

63
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: And of course it's CBS News, you know the way

64
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: they write the news there, it's kind of slanted, implying

65
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: that this was something that shouldn't happen, this Maduro capture.

66
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: But then he said, with us live now is Secretary

67
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: of Defense Pete Hegzith. And then he put hexithon and

68
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: let him talk for seven minutes. They had to do commercial.

69
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: He said, can you hold on and come back with us?

70
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: And then they brought him back in the next segment

71
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: for seven minutes, and then at the end they said

72
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: we have to go, but for commercial, can you hang

73
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: on again? And he hung on through the second commercial

74
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: break and was back for a third segment. Now, this

75
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: is the major spokesman of the Trump administration on this matter,

76
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 2: the Secretary of Defense. So this is quite a change

77
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: for CBS News to give him airtime and let him

78
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: give his point of view in the administration's point of

79
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: view for about twenty minutes. You never would have seen

80
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: that on the old CBS News. So if this is

81
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: an indication of change, if this guy tonight is going

82
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: to keep doing that. Make it actually a fair, unbiased newscast.

83
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: That'll be interesting. See what now, it could be a

84
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: formula really works. It'll take a while for word to

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: get around. It's not so corrupt anymore, but who knows,

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: it may take off in viewership.

87
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: Now.

88
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: The other thing is apparently Trump knew that they're going

89
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: to clean up the CBS Evening News because the Maduro

90
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: raid took place in the middle of the night and

91
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: it was secret. Congress nobody got told about the raid.

92
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 2: It was total secrecy when it happened. But CBS News

93
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 2: was given the story first by the administration. They broke

94
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: the story before anybody because the administration gave it to them.

95
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: That's a pretty big thing for a news organization to

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: be handed that big story before anybody else. But the

97
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: President did it, so apparently he has some faith in

98
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: CBS News. Now, the Sunday morning shows, they went right

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: back to total corruption. They went right back to putting

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: on people you shouldn't put on. Chuck Schumer has no

101
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: business being put on any Sunday morning show. He's not

102
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: going to run for reelection. He's totally irrelevant. He's a sad,

103
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: tired old Willie Lowman kind of an old politician on

104
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: his way out, but there he was huffing and puffing

105
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 2: on the morning shows.

106
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 4: If they want to do what's good for the American people,

107
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 4: it should not be some escapade in Venezuela. It should

108
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: be focusing on lowering the cost of living that Americans

109
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: are struggling with every week and tell us it's the

110
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 4: most important issue they face.

111
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: Well, actually, he has been lowering the cost every week.

112
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 2: The actual statistics back that up. And an escapade getting

113
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: rid of this drug terrorist kingpin Narco. It's not an escapade.

114
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: And we do have video. I think it's up on

115
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: my Twitter if you want to look at it. For

116
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: the last few years, Chuck Schumer has been demanding we

117
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: get rid of Maduro. He's been screaming that we have

118
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: to get rid of Maduro. The whole thing is comical. Now.

119
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: The other thing they tried arguing is this process argument

120
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: that because it is it's totally legal, you can go

121
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: in there and seize Maduro. We did it with Noriega,

122
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: we did it with in fact, let me see, there's

123
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: a whole list here, how many times every president, every

124
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: single president has run these sort of operations you don't

125
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: need there's nothing to do with the War Powers Act.

126
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: You don't need to get congressional approval. You don't even

127
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: need to notify them. You can go through the whole list.

128
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter Iran nineteen eighty Remember the operation in the

129
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: middle of the night landing the helicopters going in to

130
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: capture the hostages and get them back. That was Jimmy Carter,

131
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: and didn't notify Congress. Ronald Reagan bombing of Tripoli, bombing

132
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: of Benghazi, you didn't have to notify Congress. George H. W.

133
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Bush Panama invasion, Iraq airstrikes. You didn't need to get

134
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: any approval or notify them. Bill Clinton did it in Bosnia,

135
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: he did it in Iraq, he did it in Kosovo.

136
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: George W. Bush launched drone strikes at invasions in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia.

137
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: Didn't have to inform Congress. Barack Obama did it in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen.

138
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: Joe Biden did it in Syria, Somalia, and Yemen. In

139
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: fact were still there with the astor. See, you don't

140
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: need to inform anybody, You don't need to deal with

141
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: Congress on it. You don't. The War Powers Act was

142
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: created in the seventies by a bunch of left wing people,

143
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: and basically it says, you can do whatever the hell

144
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: you want for ninety days. After ninety days, you're supposed

145
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: to inform us. Schumer again, I.

146
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: Still have not been briefed. We've had some content with

147
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: the administration in that we've asked them for the Gang

148
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: of Eight briefing and the oil congressmen and all senators briefing,

149
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: but we've gotten no information from them.

150
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: Who the hell would brief you, Why would it be

151
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: brief you? Who would even talk to you, to look

152
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: at you? And it was not an invasion, you know

153
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: the CBS and ABC though Sunday Morning shows it's an

154
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: invasion of Venezuela. Rubio just fought back.

155
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: It wasn't necessary because this is not an invasion. We

156
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation. This

157
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: is a law enforcement operation. He was arrested on the

158
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: ground in Venezuela by FBI agents, read his right and

159
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 5: removed from the country.

160
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, President Trump, Congress as the tendency to leak, this

161
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: would not be good if they leaked.

162
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: General I think it would have been maybe a very

163
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: different result.

164
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, could you imagine briefing? Can you imagine would you

165
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: trust Hakim Jeffries. You remember when Pete Hexath went on

166
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: signal and they said this is dangerous discussing an upcoming

167
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: military operation on signal. Why somebody could find out what

168
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: would be more dangerous putting on signal chat or telling

169
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: Hakeem Jeffries about it. But remember, the Democrats have demanded

170
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: four years. They have demanded. You can go to my

171
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 2: Twitter the videos all up there of all the Democrats

172
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: demanding the Trump removed Maduro.

173
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: I did have conversations with him, and I said, and

174
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: he also, he didn't just remove me.

175
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: Gave Maduro many, many many chances to leave on his own.

176
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: He gave him plenty of the exit packages that were

177
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: quite the pro profitable for him, but he turned him

178
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: all down.

179
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: I did have conversations with him, and I said, uh,

180
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: you got to surrender. And I actually thought he was

181
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: pretty close to doing so, but now he wished she did.

182
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now here's a couple of things. You know what's interesting.

183
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: All the Democrats, of course, being just children. They're all

184
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: just childish knee jerk, you know, whatever Trump does, they

185
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: hate it. They start screaming and whining and pouting, and

186
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: they did that all you know who didn't say a

187
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: word about this Maduro thing. You know who's not even

188
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 2: mentioned it. Gavin Newsom, who is appears to be the

189
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: leading candidate in twenty twenty, and he's kept quiet about it.

190
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: He knows to stay out of it. Now he is

191
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: going to be the big guest. If you're a left

192
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: wing cook, this is a big night for you because

193
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: tonight and they're announcing it all day long tonight on

194
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: Rachel Madow. Exclusive. It says right there on the screen

195
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: right now, it says coxclusive interview with Gavin Newsom. Exclusive

196
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: interview with Gavin Newsom. I can't go five minutes without

197
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: seeing Gavin Newsom on a radio show, a podcast, a

198
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: TV show. He's on forty thousand shows a day. But

199
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: this is an exclusive with Gavin Newsom. Now let's see

200
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: if she asked him about Maduro and he's forced to

201
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: comment about it. Now, here's the problem. Tim Waltz is,

202
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 2: as Howie Carr said, sleeping with the fishes. Tim Waltz

203
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: is dead politically, he's gone. He will not seek reelection.

204
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: He announced that an hour ago. He will not seek reelection.

205
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: He can't run for reelection. His political career is over

206
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: because of the Somalia fraud, which is massive. Everybody says

207
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom has the same problem about to explode in California,

208
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: and if that's the case, he'll suffer the same fate

209
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: that Tim Waltz suffered. He will not be able to

210
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: run and that'll be the end of him. So this

211
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: is going to be interesting to keep an eye on.

212
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 2: Now when it comes to Venezuela. The only scary part

213
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: when the Trump administration says, well, we'll run of Venezuela,

214
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: and everybody's, oh my god, this is a rack all

215
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: over again. This is a raq. We're gonna get bogged. Now.

216
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: There's a lot of differences here, many differences. First of all,

217
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: it's not a rack. This country does not resemble a rack.

218
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: When we took over Iraq, we had destroyed every inch

219
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: of government. There was nothing there. In the case of Venezuela,

220
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: the government is still fully functioning. Government still exists. We

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: just took out one guy, We did not touch the government.

222
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: It's still there, still functioning. The other difference is a raq,

223
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: the chaos came from the warring factions, the different tribes,

224
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: the different groups all fighting with each other the civil war.

225
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: This is not the case in Venezuela. There's only one

226
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: group of people. There aren't different tribes. There's unity in

227
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: the population. That's the other year.

228
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: Now.

229
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: The other difference is people in Iraq, believe it or not,

230
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: they loved Sadam Hussein. People in Venezuela hated Maduro. They're

231
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: all thrilled that he's gone. The other difference is in Iraq,

232
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: we were there on the ground occupying the country. There's

233
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: no such thing. In Venezuela. We are not there. We

234
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: don't have a single soldier on the ground there. We're

235
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: doing it from offshore on lots of ships. We got

236
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: lots of planes, drones, missiles. Also that we can do

237
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: whatever we need to from there. We're not on the ground.

238
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: You remember they always all weekend they're bringing up the

239
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: pottery barn rule. That was Colin Powell that started that.

240
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: When we went into a Raq, you know, or we invaded.

241
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: He always said, you got to remember the pottery barn rule.

242
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: You break it, you own it. If you break it,

243
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: you own it. He kept talking about this pottery barn rule.

244
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: It was all a myth. He just made that up.

245
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: There's no such thing. You know, if you go into

246
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: pottery barn today and accidentally break something, you don't have

247
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: to buy it. There's no pottery barn rule that if

248
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: you break something in the store you own it. The

249
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: rules fall it never ever ever existed. Hey, the Giant

250
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: season is over. The Jets season is over. Thank god. Now.

251
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how I got swept up in this,

252
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: but everybody kept talking about the Bills Jets game yesterday,

253
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: New York Jets, Buffalo Bills. Bruce Blakeman, who should be

254
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: the next governor. He's the best choice for governor, Bruce Blakeman.

255
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm watching his Instagram. He's I'm flying up to Buffalo.

256
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: I didn't realize he's such a big Buffalo fan, has

257
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: been for years. In fact, he was wearing this Buffalo

258
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: T shirt that his sun bought him years ago. He

259
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: was such a Buffalo fan. But he flew up there

260
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: for the game and all these people telling him to

261
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets big game. Yes,

262
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm all hyped up. I can't wait to watch as well.

263
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: I got home late. I had to miss the first

264
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: half of the game, so I put it on quickly. Oh,

265
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: I want to watch this game. I forgot it's the Jets.

266
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: What the hell am I rushing home for? Soon as

267
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: I put it on in the middle of the game,

268
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: it's like thirty eight nothing, Buffalo Bills are a head.

269
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: It's the Jets. They're not gonna what game. There was

270
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: nothing competitive by the end. I think the Jets got

271
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: one touchdown. It was like seventy five to two or something.

272
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: This game. The Jets the worst team in the world.

273
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson is a wonderful guy. He's a great guy.

274
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: I know him. I love Woody Johnson. Worst owner in

275
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: the history of sports, single worst owner ever in the

276
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: history of sports. I've never seen anybody so bad at

277
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: running anything. It's Woody Johnson and the Jets. It's just horrible.

278
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: And there are plenty of people saying a mechanism needs

279
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: to be created in the NFL to take a team

280
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: away from an owner if he's ever this bad, and

281
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: taking away would mean force him to sell, which is fine.

282
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: You know, he paid six hundred million for the team.

283
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: It's now worth like nine billions, so if he took

284
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: it away and made him sell it great. He'd make

285
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: a great profit, be better for everybody. And then the

286
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: Giants they're a little better. They didn't have a good season.

287
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: What were they four and eleven and four and thirty

288
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: or something like that, but they won the last couple

289
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: of games. Big mistake. They should have lost them deliberately,

290
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: because now you would have had a first choice in

291
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: the draft. Now you got like fourth choice in the draft.

292
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three

293
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred

294
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten
