1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Good morning, cooner contry. Okay, my friends, Look, I'll be 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: brutally honest with all of you. There were some other 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: domestic stories, huge domestic stories I wanted to talk about. 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: But this Aron war it's sort of like you know, 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: the Godfather three, Just when you want to get out, 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: it sucks you all right back in. Well that's you know. 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk about other issues, but my god, 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: it's one development after another after another, and I got 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: to tell you this one really stuck in my crawl. 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: My blood is boiling. I know many many Magas supporters 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: feel the same way as I do. So, as you know, 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: President Trump has now basically asked NATO, are European so 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: called allies Australia, Japan, South Korea, China to help with 14 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: unblocking the Strait of Hormose. Why because the Iranians are 15 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: laying these mines, allegedly, these mines along the Strait of 16 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: Hormuz to try to block all of that flow in 17 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: transport of oil and natural gas. It is the world's 18 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: most vital shipping lane, and twenty percent of the world's 19 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: oil twenty million barrels a day, goes right through the 20 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuse. It is one of the last points 21 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: of leverage that the Iranian Mullas, the Iranian regime has. 22 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: Their goal is now very clear. They want to absorb 23 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: the punishment of the bombing and then drag the war 24 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: out as much as possible and keep blocking the Strait 25 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: of Hormuz or blockading the Strait of Hormuz to d 26 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: oil prices higher and higher and higher and leading then 27 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: to domestic pain around the world, but especially here in 28 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: the United States, so that Trump will end the war 29 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: prematurely and that they can claim a victory. And so 30 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: President Trump now understands that really the endgame is now 31 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: and the key flash point is the battle over Hormose. 32 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Who will control all of that flow of oil and 33 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: natural gas. The Mullas now are saying, we control it, 34 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: and we almost want to create a toll in which 35 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: people have to pay us or get our acceptance, our permission, 36 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: a veto in effect, whether you can go through the 37 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: Strait of Hormoose. And President Trump now understands you cannot 38 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: give the Ayatolas that kind of power over one of 39 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: the most important energy energy choke points in the world. 40 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: And so to end the war because after this the 41 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: Iranian regime has nothing. So to end the war and 42 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: to finally cripple the Ayatolas once and for all, President 43 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: Trump said, look, yeah, we have the military, the naval 44 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: power to do it. But again, why should we always 45 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: be doing the heavy lifting. We're already bombing all of 46 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: the coastal defenses. We're taking out their radars, we're taking 47 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: out their missiles, we're taking out their interceptors. It has 48 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: now been relentless bombing for the last couple of days 49 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: right along the Strait of Wurmuz to make sure that eventually, 50 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: if shipping wants to go through, the Iranians can't fire 51 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: drones or missiles or any sort of attacks to harass shipping. 52 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: So we're already softening up the defenses along the Strait 53 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: of Hormuse. The one thing that the Europeans have are 54 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: these so called mind sweepers, these vessels that go and 55 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: clear mines off the bottom of the sea or off 56 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: the bottom of the ocean. Trump said, you've got them, 57 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: could you please help us clear the Strait of Hormuse. Now. Furthermore, 58 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: and this is extremely important, less than one percent of 59 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: all that oil that goes through the Strait of Hormuse. 60 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: Most of it, as I said, from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, 61 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, these Persian Gulf nations. 62 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: Most of that oil goes to Asia, some of it 63 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: to Europe. Less than one percent actually goes to US. So, 64 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: as Trump said, it's not for you know, in terms 65 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: of American oil gas concer ump, it's not you know, 66 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: for us, it's not do or die. We can live 67 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: without the Strait of Hormose. What it's really doing, it's 68 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: benefiting Japan, which gets almost all of its oil through 69 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormus, Australia, which gets a considerable amount 70 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: of its oil from the Strait of Hormuz, and of 71 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: course China which gets practically almost all that in Russia, 72 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: it gets most of its oil from the Strait of Hormose. 73 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: And Europe does get some. They get a substantial bit, 74 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: not as much as Asia, but still it is the 75 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Asian countries, it is the European countries. It is the 76 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: NATO countries that benefit the most. If we were to 77 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: unblock the Strait of Hormuz. So, as Trump said, number one, 78 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: you would be helping us, and we would appreciate it 79 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: and number two, ultimately it's benefiting you, benefiting us, It's 80 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: benefiting you. And then came to stab in the back. 81 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: I want you to listen now to British Prime Minister 82 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: care Starmer addressed to country. This was Monday morning. He 83 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: went on television and he said, we are not going 84 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: to give Trump or the Americans. They're not going to 85 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: give us a single ship, not a single ship from 86 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: the Royal Navy to either police this trade of Hormuz 87 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: or to sweep the minds. We're on our own roll 88 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: cut fifteen, Mike. 89 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: Our priority is always the national interest, and so we 90 00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: have been clear and consistent in our objectives throughout this conflict. First, 91 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: we will protect our people in the region. Second, while 92 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies, 93 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: we will not be drawn into the wider war. And third, 94 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: we will keep working towards a swift resolution that brings 95 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: security and stability back to the region and stops the 96 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: Iranian threat to its neighbors. 97 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself. You 98 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: should be ashamed of yourself. Now, let me tell you, 99 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear about this. Trump said it. 100 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: I want to re reiterate it. This now ends our 101 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:51,559 Speaker 1: special relationship. Okay, there's nothing special about this relationship now, 102 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: and it's not just Britain. Germany now their defense minister 103 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: came out saying they will not give us a single vessel, 104 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: not a single mind sweep. And when asked why, they said, 105 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: this is America's war, not our war. We didn't ask 106 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: for this war. They launched this war. France now says 107 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna cobble something together and they're looking to give 108 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: us maybe eight frigates, but they only want them to 109 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: be used. Listen to this, because it's France. After the 110 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: fighting is done, basically, well, we don't need it, then 111 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: we need it now. France has said no, Germany has 112 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: said no, Britain has said no, NATO has completely said no, 113 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: Japan has said no, Australia has said no, South Korea 114 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: has sent no, Canada has said no, and China has 115 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: said no. Now the Chinese I get, because they were 116 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: never our friends. There are mortal adversaries, Okay, our mortal 117 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: enemies that I get. But I'm sorry, somebody has to 118 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: say it. As President Trump said correctly yesterday, he said, 119 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: you know I knew and I'm almost quoting him verbatim. 120 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: I knew I was going to be disappointed by our 121 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: so called allies. He goes, and I've been saying this 122 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: for years, that we're always there for them, but when 123 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: the chips are down, they're never there for us. And 124 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: he said, you know what, I asked, not because I 125 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: need them, Because ultimately we're powerful enough, big enough, strong enough, 126 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: we'll take care of this on our own, like we 127 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: do everything else. But I wanted to see, as Trump said, 128 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: who would come and help us, who would be enthusiastic, 129 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: who would be grateful, in other words, who's really a 130 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: true friend and ally when we need you, and make 131 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: a request for you to go out of your way 132 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: to help us a little bit? Look at that response. 133 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: Look at the response. Now, my question to the Brits 134 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: and the French and the Germans and everybody in NATO. 135 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: Was World War one our war? We didn't start the war. 136 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: This was the Europeans, you guys started this war. Was 137 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: World War II? Our war? We didn't start World War two? 138 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Europe started World War two. Hitler in particular, obviously, tell me, 139 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: was Ukraine our war? Because you begged us for help 140 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: for years and all we did was send hundreds and 141 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. So 142 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: whenever you needed help, we were there for you, over 143 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: and over and over again. Happy Saint Patti's Day one 144 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: and all, especially to you, Mike. I know you're at 145 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: least half Irish, if not completely one hundred percent Irish, 146 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: but anyway, as is Sandy. Of course, Sandy's also got 147 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: Irish blood in her, and I have no Irish blood 148 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: in me whatsoever that I'm aware of. But even I'm 149 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: Irish today, so we're all Irish today. Six one seven 150 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the NATO. Well, 151 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: that's right. You have to accept me first. Can you 152 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: please accept me? Mike? You haven't, you're still thinking about it, okay, 153 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: so uh but anyway, I do want to wish everyone 154 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: again a very happy Saint Patrick's Day. Now, look, I've 155 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: got you know, I got to be brutally honest with you. 156 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: This is a slap in the face. And Trump predicted it. 157 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: Trump said, I've known about this for years. I deal 158 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: with them on a regular basis. And Trump smoked them 159 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: out and he said, you know, I what I asked 160 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: for was even for them to join the war. I 161 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: didn't ask for NATO to send a single plane, fire, 162 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: a single missile, drop a single bomb. What I asked 163 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: for was a very reasonable, minimal, minimal, minimal ask, which is, 164 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: we have to unblock the Strait of horm Moose A. 165 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: It's it's the last phase. It ends, you know, whether 166 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: it we'll continue to push for regime change or not. 167 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: The fact is, once the Straight of Hormoose is reopened on, 168 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: you know, it's unblocked, then oil prices will come down, 169 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: Gas prices will come down. It will relieve the economic 170 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: pressure that the Iranian regime is trying to apply on 171 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: our economy and frankly the world economy. And he said, 172 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: that's it. They'll have no more leverage after this point, 173 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: that they have nothing left, and so effectively the Iran 174 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: War will be over in terms of we will have 175 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: won the war. The Mullas have nothing left to you know, 176 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: to use against us, so their arsenal will be finished. 177 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they still may have a few drone strikes 178 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: or launch a few missiles here or there, but for 179 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: the most part, Iran is finished politically, militarily, economically, and 180 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: as Trump rightly said, and I don't want to beat 181 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: a dead horse, but he's right. He goes. You know, 182 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: Japan almost ninety percent of their oil comes from the 183 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: strait of the Strait of Hormuse. China, what is it, 184 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: eighty percent? South Korea very similar. Australia, a lot of 185 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: their oil comes from the Strait of Hormose. Europe's substantial 186 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: part of Europe's economy runs on gulf oil or Persian 187 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: gulf oil that comes in through the Strait of Hormuz. 188 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: As I said earlier in a previous show, forty percent 189 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: of all the homes in Great Britain. Think about this, 190 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: In Britain, forty percent of all homes run on liquefied 191 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: natural gas from Qatar. And Katar sends all of that 192 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: liquefied natural gas. Guess where through the Strait of Hormous. 193 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: So Trump's point is, guys, I'm not asking you to, 194 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, send a sailor or a troop to die 195 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: or fire a bomb or a missile. I'm not asking 196 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: you to get involved militarily. We want your vessels that 197 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: can sweep mines and help escort these oil tankers that 198 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: are mostly going to your countries. So we can get 199 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: the flow of oil going again, and get gas and 200 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: unliquefied natural gas the price is way down, and getting people, 201 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, getting their oil and gas so your economies 202 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: can function and run. That's all I'm asking for. It's 203 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: not mine compared to everything we've done for you over 204 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: the last one hundred and some years and under NATO 205 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: the last seventy five years plus now. And this is 206 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: their response. No, no, no, no, no, across the board. Australia, 207 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: no Japan, no China. We understood, you know, that's our enemy, 208 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: So the hell with them. South Korea. We've got thirty 209 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: thousand troops for how long protecting South Korea? Canada supposedly 210 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: our best friend? Blank you No England, the special relationship. No, 211 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: we don't want to get dragged into a wide there war. 212 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: The French, well, the French are always the French, you know, 213 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: if they're not stabbing you in the back, they're just 214 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: not the French. The Germans, my god, after everything we've 215 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: done for Germany. Serious, Now, I could go on all 216 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: of these NATO countries, all of these European countries. You 217 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: can't send us one freaking frigate one European mind sweeper 218 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: one one. But I'll tell you this. If Russia invades Finland, 219 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: and by the way, Definns have an army of these 220 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: European mind sweepers, so does A seven. If Russia invades them, 221 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: we're on the hook to defend them world War three, 222 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: world War three. So they want us to defend them 223 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: to the point of nuclear armageddon and have hundreds and 224 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of our men and women die for them. 225 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: But when we ask, you know, we're trying to wrap 226 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: up this ran operation here, we just can you can 227 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: you send a couple of those mind sweepers?

Thanks 251 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: for holding Derek, and welcome. 252 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 3: I got a couple of things I'd like to say. 253 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 4: First of all, I love you in a non sexual way. Second, 254 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 4: I got a good picture of us with Larry and 255 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 4: Jeff Deal. 256 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: Oh wow, well Larry's in Arkansas and Jeff Deal. I 257 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: don't know what Jeff Deal is up to. Jeff Deal 258 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: has fallen off the map. But anyway, Derek, my good friend, 259 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: what do you make of this? Trump smoked him out. 260 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: He even said it after the responses came in. He said, 261 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: I asked, and I knew that the answer was going 262 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: to be no. But I wanted the American people to 263 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: see what I've seen in private for years, that these 264 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: NATO allies don't have our back, and whenever we need 265 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: something from them, they're never there for us. And Trump 266 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: now says he will not forget it. We will remember this, 267 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: and essentially now this is going to impact our relations 268 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: with NATO going into the future. I don't know exactly 269 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 1: what that means, Derek, but I think Trump is now thinking, 270 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: you know what. You know, friendship is always a two 271 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: way street if it's a true friendship, and with the 272 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: Europeans and with Australia and with Japan and with South Korea, 273 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: it's clearly a one way street. And Trump is maybe thinking, 274 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sorry, but we're not going to 275 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: be Uncle Sucker anymore. Derek. Are you shocked that they 276 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: won't help? Are you shocked that it's gotten now to 277 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: this point. 278 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 3: It wasn't going to help. Plus to answer a question, yeah, 279 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 3: you should stay in NATO, but take over the street, 280 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 3: take it over, and then charge everyone to go past, 281 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 3: charge them oil, charge them to bring the oil over, 282 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: and instead of paying five percent, knock it up to 283 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 3: ten percent. So everyone's got to pay ten percent just 284 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 3: you know, stay in. 285 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: Oh you might set up yeah, we set up something 286 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: where they got to pay like a toll everybody who 287 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: goes in through the strait of hormones. 288 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 3: No. 289 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: No, since we're going to be protecting it and we're 290 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: going to be patrolling it and we're doing all the 291 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: heavy lifting and taking all the risks, and nobody else 292 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: wants to pitch in, you know, I honestly, Derek, I 293 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: like that idea. You know it's like a ten percent 294 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: tariff just to get into our market. Well, no, I'm sorry, 295 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: Now it's going to cost you ten percent, you know, 296 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: almost like we collect on behalf of the US taxpayer 297 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: every ship that goes through Chi Chang Chi Chang Chi Ching. 298 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: I like it, Derek, really, I like it. Derek. Do 299 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: you think it's time for us to get out of NATO. 300 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 3: So so we make more money? The United States makes 301 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: more money? 302 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: Oh? I agree? Oh, I agree, Derek, buddy. What about NATO. 303 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: You think it's time for us to say it's been 304 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: a nice seventy five years. But you go your way, 305 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: we go our way. 306 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 3: Well, if you keep on up in the money, they're 307 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 3: gonna just do that on their own. They're gonna cancel 308 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: on their own. 309 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 5: What do you think. 310 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Well, that's a good point. Well, that's that's a very 311 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: good point. And furthermore, if you know, if if Trump 312 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: keeps pressuring them to keep paying for their defense, then 313 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: after a while it's like, well, if you're all paying 314 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: for your now you know your defense, what do you 315 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: need us for? You can all defend yourselves. So you know, look, 316 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: I think we're heading for a breakup, and honestly, I 317 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: think it's long overdue. So anyway, but Derek, great point. 318 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: I love that. Set up a toll in the straight 319 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: of Hormuz. If we're gonna have to unblock it, if 320 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to, you know, guarantee the safe free 321 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: passage of all these ships, then we should charge a toll. 322 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: If no one, if we're the only ones doing it, 323 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: then to hell with it. Six one seven we should 324 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: get a cut, No. Six one seven two six six 325 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight. I would go even further, take 326 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: all our military bases out of Europe, all of our 327 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: troops that we have, by the way, you know, we 328 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: have thirty thousand troops stationed in Germany, in Deutschland, thirty 329 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: thousand troops stationed in Britain. We've been protecting Britain and 330 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: Germany now for over seventy five years. And this is 331 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: the thanks that we get. And by the way, we 332 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: spend billions and billions on those bases. It helps their 333 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: local economies tremendously. I mean, all we do is help 334 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: and support the Europeans. And when we ask for a 335 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: few freaking frigates, a couple of mind sweepers, maybe a 336 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: warship or two, like with the British the Royal Navy 337 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: to patrol the Strait of Hormuz, I swear all of 338 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's not our war, it's your war. Or 339 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to get dragged into a 340 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: wider waw No, no, no, that's okay, that's okay. That should 341 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: be our answer now going into the future, Russia, Ukraine, 342 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: we don't want to get dragged into a wider war. 343 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: I don't care whatever now happens on the continent. You 344 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: know what, we don't. Ay, it's not our war. So 345 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: you guys, hey, you handle it. Because when we needed 346 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: crumbs off the table from you, the bare minimum from you, 347 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: you guys gave us the middle finger. And by the way, 348 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: the Australians should be ashamed of themselves, not the people. 349 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the government, those losers. They couldn't know. 350 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: You couldn't pony up anything. You stabbed us in the back. 351 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: You would all be speaking Japanese in Australia if it 352 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: wasn't for us. The Japanese were gunning for Australia. How 353 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: many men died to keep Australia free. Look what we 354 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: did to Japan. We could have kept you in rubble. 355 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: We rebuilt Japan and this is the thanks we get. 356 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: We rebuilt Germany. This is the thanks that we get. 357 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: We saved Europe. You would all in Europe. You would 358 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: all be speaking either German or Russian. Now, if it 359 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: wasn't for us, I'm sorry. I just have to call 360 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: it as I see it. And no, couple of mind sweepers, 361 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: that's too much for you now, Okay, no, no, no, it's fine. 362 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. NATO for you is 363 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: one big blood sucking operation. Okay, And I'm sorry in 364 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: a way, we have to blame ourselves because we keep 365 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: saying allies, allies, allies, allies. What do they ever do 366 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: for us? Like I really, I'm challenging anybody in the audience, 367 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: what do the Europeans? What does NATO actually concretely do 368 00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: for us? It seems to me we do everything for them. Everything. 369 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: Seventy five years plus we have protected Europe and their 370 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: NATO allies at immense cost, at immense sacrifice, and now 371 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: we can end the war in Iran. Okay, huge breaking news. 372 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: I don't want it to distract from our discussion, but 373 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: it is a massive victory if it's true, If it's 374 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: still true. It has not been one hundred percent confirmed yet, 375 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: but Israel is claiming that in a missile strike that 376 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: they have taken out and killed Iran's top national security 377 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: official Ali Larry Johnny. Now, if this is true, Israel 378 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: says it is. It is still unconfirmed, although more and 379 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: more media outlets are saying it's true. But again, I 380 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: don't want to jump the gun. But if this is true, 381 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: this is a massive blow to the regime. This is 382 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: equivalent to taking out General Solemony when Trump took him 383 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: out in his first term. Lara Johnny was one of 384 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: the masterminds of their entire Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, their besiege, 385 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: their entire military national security architecture. He is one of 386 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: the top most senior, powerful members of the regime. So 387 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: if Israel has taken him out, think if we're taking 388 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: on the Nazis Gearing Hermann Gearing or you know, Himmler. 389 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean it's not Hitler, it's not the top guy, 390 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: but it's you know, basically the Ayatola's right hand man. 391 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: It's one of the two or three key people he 392 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: relies on. So again it's unconfirmed. Israel dough says, take 393 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: it to the bank. They took him out. We'll see 394 00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: throughout the day. But if true, big big blow against 395 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: the regime. Six one, seven, two sixty six, sixty eight, 396 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: sixty eight is the number. Linda in Medford. Thanks for 397 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: holding Linda, and welcome. 398 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 6: Good morning. 399 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: Hi. 400 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 6: I wanted to just call and say let's pull out 401 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 6: of NATO. I felt that way for a few years. 402 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 6: I think it's just nothing but a money pit for us, 403 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 6: and I wonder if we would be in such dire 404 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 6: straight with oil. If Biden hadn't canceled the Keystone pipelines. 405 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: Well, that hurt. I mean, there's no question, Linda, that 406 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: that really hurt. And he declared war on fossil fuels, 407 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: which hurt us even more. And he I mean, I 408 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: just on so many levels. He he repressed oil production, 409 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: gas production here at home. He made us as reliant 410 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: as possible on foreign oil. Now, to you know, one 411 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: of Trump's great achievements is that he has made us 412 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: energy independent and energy dominant again. And look, the Europeans 413 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: could be buying American oil. They're buying some, but they 414 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: continue to want to buy from the Persian Golf, by 415 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: the way, from Russia. They're still buying oil from Russia, 416 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: if you can believe it. But they want to buy 417 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: now as much as possible from the Persian Golf. Okay, 418 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: that's their right, that's their business. But that oil goes 419 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: through the Strait of Hormuz. So you want us now 420 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: to clear all that up for you, and you're not 421 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: even willing to help us. And look, Linda, this is 422 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: the question I have for everybody. And I'm not saying 423 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: it to be nasty or you know, denigrating to the Europeans, 424 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: because the Europeans have a lot to be proud of. Look, 425 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: this is a culture and a civilization that goes back 426 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: two thousand years. We're in many ways a product of Europe. 427 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: My parents came from Europe, so in a sense it's 428 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: my ancestral civilization. But I got to call it the 429 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: way I see it. What do the Europeans, and in particular, 430 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: what does NATO do for us? You know, they keep 431 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: everybody keep saying friends and allies, friends and allies. Okay, 432 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: so what do these friends and allies do for us? 433 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: And what do they You know, we wanted Greenland for 434 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: the Iron Dome. Ninety nine percent of it is frozen 435 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: tundra and ice. Denmark has it, but they don't develop it. 436 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: The Europeans have never cared about Denmark. We want to 437 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: say we'll take over Denmark, of course, only if the 438 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: people of Denmark agree in a referendum. And then we 439 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: want to build up Denmark because we need them for 440 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: the Iron Dome. And the Europeans went ballistic and said no, 441 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: and they're willing to start a trade war with They 442 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: wanted to even sever relations with us. They went to 443 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: the Wall against Donald Trump on this to deny us Denmark. 444 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: So whenever we asked the Europeans to sacrifice something for us, 445 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: they never do it. Yet we're always sacrificing for them 446 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: over and over and over and over. So no, I'm sorry, 447 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: they're a bunch of ingrates. And you know again, Trump 448 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: said this many years ago, and he's completely right. Germany 449 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: is one of the richest countries in the world. Italy, France, England, Denmark, Norway. 450 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: I could run down the whole list, Sweden, Finland, these 451 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: are very wealthy First world countries. You mean to tell 452 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: me you don't have the money to defend yourselves. Why 453 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: do we got to spend our money to defend you 454 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: so you guys can keep paying for your lavish welfare states. 455 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: So no, you don't want to spend money on defense. 456 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: You want to ride our back. But at least if 457 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: you're going to ride our back once in a while 458 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: when we ask you to help out a little bit. 459 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's like having two kids or three four 460 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: kids living at home and they're in their thirties and 461 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: forties and you're like, you know, really, junior, I think 462 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: you should go out on your own.

But if you're gonna live in the basement 465 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: all the time off of mommy and daddy's money, could 466 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: you help with the groceries once in a while, I 467 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: don't know, when I come home, could you go to 468 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: the car and say, Dad, let me bring the groceries in, 469 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,719 Speaker 1: or maybe help mommy unset the table, okay, or you know, 470 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: do the dishes.

There's always 496 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: something going on in Europe, Ukraine, Russia's exhibit A. But 497 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: there's going to be more. And when it happens, who's 498 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: going to have to bail them out? Us? Who's going 499 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: to have to spend a fortune? Us? Who's going to 500 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: have to send troops and do the fighting and the dying? Us? Why? Why? 501 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: And on top of all of that, we're forty trillion 502 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: dollars in the hole. We have a massive invasion of 503 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants in our own country, Like we've got so 504 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: many domestic problems here. So we're gonna put ourselves on 505 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: the hook for a collection of countries that has been 506 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: riding our back and we have been protecting them for 507 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: over seventy five years. And as Trump rightly said, he said, 508 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: watch watch, I'm gonna ask for just a little bit 509 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: of help. And he said, my prediction, no one will come. 510 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 1: Like in other words, wake up, wake up, stop being 511 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: uncle sucker, and have some self respect. And no, the 512 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: freeloading now is over. It's over. Linda, thank you very 513 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: much for that call. I really appreciate it. And I 514 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: mean everyone, okay, everyone, everyone, I'm upset with the Canadians, 515 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: my former homeland. Okay, that to me is a shameful, 516 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 1: disgusting liberal government up there. And by the way, CARNEI 517 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: wants in on the iron Dome. I want you to 518 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: know that. The Prime minister. So he doesn't want us 519 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: to acquire Denmark so we can have a proper iron Dome. 520 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, he wants to Hey, he 521 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: wants to be anti American, but he wants the benefits 522 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 1: of the American security umbrella. You phony, you fraud, you, 523 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: you leach, you little parasite. So what are the Canadians 524 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: ever done for us? Seriously, all we do is protect them, 525 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: that's all we do. What do we get nothing? Australians 526 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: Ditto Japan. How many troops we have in Okinawa? What's 527 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: preventing Japan from speaking Chinese? It's us. South Korea would 528 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: have been run over decades ago. We've got twenty nine 529 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: thousand troops right there guarding them. These guys can't send 530 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: a they can't send a couple of mind sweepers. After 531 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: all the money we've poured into South Korea, and how 532 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 1: many Americans died to keep South Korea free? I'm sorry 533 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: the answer is f off. Just I'd be like, stun, 534 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: I don't know how Trump keeps us cool. I'd be like, 535 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: let me get this straight. Whatever you think of the war, hey, look, 536 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: we thought for World War One was a stupid idea 537 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: the year we stayed out of it for the three No, 538 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: for a good part of it. We thought, you guys 539 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: are slaughtering each other over what world war? And we 540 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: warned you after World War One, we said, no, you 541 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: didn't settle anything. You guys so messed up the peace. 542 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 1: Gonna you're gonna be back at each other's throats twenty 543 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: years later, there they are. Now, we didn't a peace Hitler, 544 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: You guys a peace hitler. You guys knew what you 545 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: were doing. According to you. No, it ends up being 546 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: another World war, and Hitler's running all over you guys, 547 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: and England stands alone, and England's about the fall, and 548 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: everybody knows England's about the fall. Churchill said, we couldn't 549 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: hold out much longer, and then we came in to 550 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: bail you out after Pearl Harbor. So we keep fighting 551 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: and dying and sacrificing for you, and you can't throw 552 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: in a couple of a couple of ships and frigates. No, no, 553 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: this is You're not allies, you're not friends. You're a 554 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: bunch of users. You're a bunch of ingrates, and you're 555 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: a bunch of backstabbers. That's what you are. That's what 556 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,439 Speaker 1: you are. So okay, as the German defense minister said, 557 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: it's not our war. Okay, we'll take care of this, 558 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:58,439 Speaker 1: we'll take care of it. But that's it. Next time 559 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: you call, our answer should be, it's not our war 560 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: here on Ukraine right now, it's not our war. Don't 561 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,439 Speaker 1: sell them another missile, don't send them any more. AID, 562 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: don't sell them any more. Interceptors, don't let the no. No, 563 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: it's your war, it's not our war. You deal with 564 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. We're done. We're done. Six one seven two 565 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: six six sixty eight sixty eight agree, disagree. Jim in 566 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Thanks for holding Jim and welcome. 567 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 5: Hey Jeff, How are you doing good? 568 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: How are you Jim? 569 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 5: I'm good. 570 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 7: So the NATO thing, I have a couple of comments 571 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 7: that I can disaddress that. So I think the personally, 572 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 7: I think NATO should have been disbanded after the Cold War. 573 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 7: The whole purpose of NATO was to kind of be 574 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 7: a blockade to Russia, you know, so we we you know, 575 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 7: accomplished that without firing shot. 576 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: You know. 577 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 7: Kind of goes back to my bay any thing. I 578 00:39:58,800 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 7: wish we did that. 579 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 5: Let them do the uprising and we would. 580 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 7: Have none of this and we would have that. 581 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 5: But anyways, so that was what I feel about NAO. 582 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 7: As far as the last twenty twenty five years, have 583 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 7: they been for us at certain times? And I ran 584 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 7: I excuse me, Iraq Afghanistan? Yea, they have. I mean, 585 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 7: obviously we've always pulled the load. I always felt like, 586 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 7: if we're going to do this, they need to chip. 587 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 5: In far more. 588 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 7: And that's one thing I give Trump a lot of 589 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 7: credit for. He made them realize that, you know, no, 590 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 7: you have to ship in more and yess you should 591 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 7: be responsible for a lot of your own defenses. So 592 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,439 Speaker 7: I have a weird feeling of NATO. I mean, now again, 593 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 7: I thought it should have ended then, but we we 594 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 7: you know, we have now here we are. And one 595 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 7: thing about the current situation them not backing us in Iran. 596 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 7: I don't actually want them support, I said. I personally 597 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 7: think it looks bad. I think if we're the biggest 598 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 7: with the strongest military in the history of the world, 599 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 7: if we can't control a three mile strip of land 600 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 7: and Iran and we have Israel on a side in 601 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 7: this too, with you know, the biggest military force in 602 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 7: the middle in that region, that's embarrassing. I don't want 603 00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 7: to ask their help. I think it's bad to ask 604 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 7: help and for them not to help honestly, you know, 605 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 7: if it's if it's part of the escalation ladder, which 606 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 7: I've always been afraid of, you know, I'd rather than 607 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,240 Speaker 7: not help, and if it did escalate by them helping 608 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 7: by sending a couple of mind shifts. Again. My whole 609 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 7: thing with this war, I'm really against it. I want 610 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 7: us out of it. I don't want it escalated. I 611 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 7: don't see any good coming out of it. I think 612 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 7: we have two options, and we're gonna see them. It's 613 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 7: either going to be ground troops, because that's really the 614 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 7: next step. Or you know, people have mentioned tactical nukes 615 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 7: being used by Israel in that region. You know, that's 616 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 7: what happens when people get desperate. 617 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 5: Will it happen? I don't know. Is there possibility, yes, 618 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 5: you know, And the fact that any of these things 619 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,280 Speaker 5: are possibility. 620 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 7: Is not where I want to be at. So the 621 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 7: NATO question as far as now, yeah. 622 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 5: I really wouldn't want their help. 623 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 7: Now anyway, but I think we should if we're going 624 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 7: to have a partnership. 625 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 5: I believe in economic partnerships. I'm not a big fan 626 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 5: of military partnerships. You know, Russia dissolve the Warsaw Pack. 627 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 7: They got rid of their big alliance against us. We 628 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 7: should have done that too. We should have been allied 629 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 7: with them. 630 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 5: They actually want to join NATO in the early two thousands. 631 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 7: Ironically, you know, we should have let him in. You 632 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 7: know again, I'm about. 633 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 5: Partnerships, I'm about working. I'm not about you know, having 634 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 5: gain alliances that are eventually going to go to war. 635 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 5: You know. So yeah, but again it goes. 636 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,280 Speaker 7: Back to my opinion. 637 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 5: I really am not a big fan of the war. 638 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 7: I'd rather do everything impossible to de escalate and just 639 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 7: get off of this this really bad ladder there were 640 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 7: and and you know again, I don't want their help. 641 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 7: I think it's a bad move. I think it makes 642 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 7: us look bad, you. 643 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 5: Know, to do that. 644 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 1: Well, Jim, look, I can tell you this. When the 645 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,439 Speaker 1: Cold War was over and we won the Cold War, 646 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,280 Speaker 1: I publicly took the position that it's time for us 647 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: to disband NATO, or at a minimum of the United 648 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,959 Speaker 1: States should leave NATO. But I thought NATO itself should 649 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: have been dissolved. And I said, look why, I said, Well, 650 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: it was a military alliance aimed at containing the Soviet 651 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: Union and at stopping Moscow from taking over Western Europe. Well, 652 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: the Warsaw Pact is gone, the Soviet Union itself is gone, 653 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,879 Speaker 1: the Cold War is over. So the purpose for which 654 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: NATO was allegedly created, well, we won, mission accomplished. So 655 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: let's you know, let's return to normalcy, as I called it. 656 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,959 Speaker 1: And No, the globalist seized NATO and it's now become 657 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: a globalist institution. Through and through that in the European 658 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: Union are two of the biggest globalist institutions in the world. 659 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: And they seized it, and they've been molding it and 660 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: controlling it for their own use and their own power 661 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: now for the last thirty five thirty six years. And 662 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 1: I think one of the great things about Trump is 663 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: that he is exposed just how ultimately anti American it is. Now. 664 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: I always go back to George Washington. Okay, to me, 665 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: he is the greatest US president. He is the founder 666 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: of our country. He's the father of our country, and 667 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,280 Speaker 1: to me, the greatest American that ever lived. People can disagree. 668 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm just giving you my honest opinion. In his final 669 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: farewell address, which by the way, in this country students 670 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: used to be required to have to study and read. 671 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: We don't do that anymore, he explicitly warned us against 672 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: foreign entanglements. He said, you don't understand we have been 673 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: blessed by providence. You don't know how lucky and unique 674 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: we are. We have two massive oceans, we have neighbors 675 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 1: to the north and to the south for different reasons 676 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: that do not pose a threat to us in any way, 677 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: shape or form. Stay out of the conflicts in Europe 678 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 1: because it's a quagmire. It will drag us into their quarrels, 679 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 1: their wars, their fights, and it will destroy Republican government 680 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 1: at home. He warned against that. And what did we do? 681 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: We got involved in foreign entanglements. What did we do? 682 00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 1: We got involved in permanent alliances, and what hop We 683 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: got involved in war after war after war after war, 684 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: to the point that we have now created the military 685 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: industrial complex, this shadow government, this powerful deep state, which 686 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: is destroying every single Republican institution that we have. It's 687 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: slowly killing like a cancer. It is killing our republic. 688 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: And so George Washington was right. Now, there's many reasons 689 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 1: to oppose these alliances. To me, the biggest one is 690 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: we don't have independence of action. We lose our national 691 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: independence and our sovereignty. Why if putin attacks, I'm just 692 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: going to make make up a country now, Latvia or 693 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: Estonia or Poland or take your pick, Finland. Now, even 694 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 1: if we believe it's long, it's not in the national 695 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: interests of the United States to stop him, were obligated 696 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,240 Speaker 1: by Article five of NATO to go to war against Russia. 697 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: I'm just giving you one potential scenario which could likely 698 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: lead to World War III, a nuclear war. Now, it's 699 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: nothing against the Estonians or the Latvians. I sympathize with 700 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: them tremendously, but rationally. Is Latvia worth World War three 701 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: for the United States of America? Of course not. I mean, 702 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,280 Speaker 1: it's just I'm sorry, no offense here. Let me Croatia. Okay, 703 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 1: so people, you know where my parents were born and 704 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,760 Speaker 1: that I visited last summer. Croatia is part of NATO. 705 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: Why should Americans have to die for Croatia? If Russia 706 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: decides to attack Croatia? Why are we obligated to defend Croatia? 707 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 1: And if Croatia is taken over by Russia, which I 708 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: would hate and I would personally vehemently oppose, obviously because 709 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: I still have family there. But my point is, is 710 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: that worth World War three with Russia? Is that in 711 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: the national interest of the United States? Absolutely not. So 712 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,399 Speaker 1: that's a big reason why I'm against NATO, and I've 713 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: always been against the European Union. One because it's a 714 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: socialist superstate and two literally, it was created against us, 715 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 1: to weaken us, to block us, to hinder us, to 716 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 1: stop and contain the United States. It is an anti 717 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 1: American project from its very inception. So why are we 718 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,879 Speaker 1: in bed with them? Why are we strengthening them, Why 719 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: are we aiding them, why are we funding them? Why 720 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: are we protecting and defending them. It's the stupidest thing 721 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 1: I've ever heard in my life.
