1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: The US all but annexes Venezuela. Communists take control of 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: New York City, and the governor of Minnesota takes powder 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: for his reelection.

We will replace 10 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 4: the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivisiness. 11 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 5: Does I reflect on this moment with my family and 12 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 5: my team over the holidays. I came to the conclusion 13 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 5: that I can't give a political campaign. 14 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: My all governor to walls of Minnesota. 15 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 6: How can we miss you if you won't go well, 16 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 6: he is going to late and. 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: Taking a slide. 18 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Well, not at the moment that was a you know, 19 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: someone has told him that he has no chance of 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: reelection given his state is now the poster child for 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: the biggest welfare fraud in the history of the whole country, 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,919 Speaker 1: the whole country. 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 6: Congratulations number one. Yeah, that's a big They need a phone. 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 6: They get to give him a foam finger, but yeah, 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 6: pick the finger. 26 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: So someone dropped the number on him, and so he went, 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't have. I need to focus 28 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: on this. I can't spend my time running for reelection 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: because the people of Minnesota need me cut ten A. 30 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 5: Twenty twenty six is an election year. Election years have 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 5: a way of ramping up the politics at a time 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 5: when we simply can't afford more of that Minnesota. In September, 33 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 5: I announced that I would seek a historic third term 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 5: as Minnesota's governor, and I have every confidence that if 35 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 5: I gave it my all, we would win the race. 36 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 5: But as I reflect on this moment with my family 37 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 5: and my team over the holidays, I came to the 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 5: conclusion that I can't give a political campaign my all. 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 5: Every minute that I spend defending my own political interest 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 5: would be a minute I can't spend defending the people 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 5: of Minnesota against the criminals who pray on our generosity 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 5: and the cynics who want to prey on our differences. 43 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 6: So I've decided to step out of. 44 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 5: This race, and I'll let others worry about the election 45 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 5: while I focus on the work that's in front of me. 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 6: For the next year, nothing to do with the fact 47 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 6: that he would probably get smoked. 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he tried to blame others for the 49 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: fact that fraudsters run the table in his state. Basically 50 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: cut eight. 51 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 5: A last several years, an organized group of criminals have 52 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 5: sought to take advantage of this state's generosity, and even 53 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 5: as we make progress in the fight against the fraudsters, 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 5: we now see an organized group of political actors seeking 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 5: to take advantage of a crisis. I don't want to 56 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 5: mince words here. Donald Trump and his allies in Washington 57 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 5: and in sight, ain't Paul and online want to make 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 5: our state a colder, meaner place. They want to poison 59 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 5: our people against each other by attacking our neighbors, and ultimately, 60 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 5: they want to take away much of what makes Minnesota 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 5: the best place in the country to raise a family. 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 5: They've already begun trying to withhold funds that were meant 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 5: to help families afford childcare, and they have no intention 64 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 5: of stopping there. 65 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 6: Woe is me, It's Chump's fault. Yeah, that's basically I'd 66 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 6: like to see the evidence that Donald Trump defrauded the 67 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 6: government out of childcare fund money. 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: And there's no doubt. Take there's no doubt by the 69 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: way that it's a great place if you're a Somali 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: because there's there were no guard rails of place. And 71 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: then at the end of all that, he literally ran 72 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: from the podium without taking questions. 73 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 6: That's eleven b Tomorrow, I'll be back with you. 74 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 5: I'll give you an update on America's best paid family 75 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: medical lead program that is now a week into it, 76 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 5: and at that time I'll take all your questions. Thank 77 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 5: you all. 78 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 7: Appreciate it. 79 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 8: Thank you. 80 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 6: Wow, thank you, thank you, thank you, and good night. 81 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: I like that. Wow running running from it. Now, here's 82 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: the rumor because the day before this happened, he had 83 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: a meeting with Senator Amy Klobershar, and it looks like 84 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: what's happened is the Kloburshar said wants to run for 85 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: governor and said you drop out, I run for governor. 86 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: I will appoint you to my Senate seat. So it's 87 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: a way of him getting a little post gubernatorial you know, 88 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: because he's never won reelection or or an election at 89 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: this point. So the only way is going to get 90 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: to be a U S senator is of Clobshar appoints him. 91 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: So that's that's the rumor of what's happened. But you know, 92 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: he did come back the next day, and he got 93 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: a little pissy when people suggest did that, you know, 94 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: not running again was not sufficient for the mess that 95 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: he had created, and was leaving that maybe he should, Oh, 96 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, resign cut seven. 97 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 5: Here's the thing that I'm going to ask all of 98 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 5: you is Republicans want to tear this state down. Republicans 99 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 5: want to tell you it's too dangerous to walk down 100 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 5: the streets. Republicans want to tell you there's nothing good 101 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 5: comes out of Minneapolis Saint Paul. Republicans want to tell 102 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 5: you everybody with brown skin is stealing money or that 103 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 5: they're not welcome here. They want to do nothing to 104 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 5: improve this state. Their idea of improving this state is 105 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 5: being a parrot for Donald Trump, agreeing to everything that 106 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 5: he agreed with. Well, here's what I'm going to tell you, 107 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 5: it ain't happening. I'm not going anywhere. And you can 108 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 5: make all your requests for me to resign over my 109 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 5: dead body, will that happen. I will fight this thing 110 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 5: till the very end to make the state better. And 111 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 5: the question that I think they need to decide is 112 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 5: is when did the guy in the white House resign? 113 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: Well, the guy in their white house wasn't, you know, 114 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: part of the massive fraud that's in Minneapolis and Minnesota 115 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: in general. So he's not going anywhere. But that was 116 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: fascinating to me. You know, how dare you ask that 117 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: I resigned? Well, you were at the helm during literally 118 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: there is no case of fraud ever in this country 119 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: that's been as big as in Somali. And I don't 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: know if anybody noticed when they were listening, but he 121 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: tried to make it seem as if investigating their fraud 122 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: was racist. He was saying, oh, this is against people 123 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: with brown skin. No, this is against people stealing from 124 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: the state. 125 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 6: Listen. I promise going forward that I will try. I 126 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 6: won't succeed, but I will try to clean up the 127 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 6: mess that I created. Yeah, but it's someone else's fault. 128 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, someone else's fault. And you're racist if you call 129 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: me on it. And here's the fascinating thing. The mainstream 130 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: media has been coddling him and buying into this. It's 131 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: racism if you say there is fraud. And there was 132 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: a really interesting cross at CNN with commentator Scott Jennings 133 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: and the normal CNN panel including you know, Abby Phillips, 134 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: because you know, Jennings is pointing out that Waltz was 135 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: trying to say that cleaning up the fraud or investigating 136 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: the fraud was racist, and had said and had called 137 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: it racist, and they denied that. They said no, no, 138 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: And you just heard a little bit of it in 139 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: that one comment. But where do you hear where do 140 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: you hear this? So this is Jennings and the CNN panel. 141 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: Cut twelve B. 142 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 9: Democrats who have put Somali diaspora in Minneapolis at the 143 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 9: center of their party and their states politics. It's a 144 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 9: small portion of population. There is a bunch of fraud 145 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 9: that goes on. And even Tim Walls has claimed that 146 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 9: any investigation of this fraud is akin to white supremacy. 147 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 9: He has said not said that. 148 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: Really, Well, cut twelve A. 149 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 10: Please, this is what happens when your own federal government 150 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 10: wages war against you. This is what happens when they 151 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 10: target communities for their own benefit. This is what happens 152 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 10: when they scapegoat and this is what say happens when 153 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 10: they no longer or hide the idea of white supremacy. 154 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry. I would like to make all the 155 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: Abby Phillips and friends there sit down, you know, maybe 156 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: from something like the Clockwork Orange where they had those 157 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: picks keeping their eyes open and play that play that video. 158 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: In front of them. 159 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 6: They never said that. 160 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: He never said there he is saying that, and he 161 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: actually alluded to it in his I'm not gonna you know, 162 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to resign, you know statements. So it's 163 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: it's he tries to make you feel like you're racist 164 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: if you want to look into the fact that billions 165 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: with a B billions of taxpayer dollars have been fraudulently 166 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: dispersed in Minneapolis. But these are people that are that 167 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: elected him. These are the people that elected Minnesota's attorney general, 168 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: both of whom owe their careers to the same people 169 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: who are Froster. So is in any wonder it hasn't 170 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: been cleaned. 171 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 6: I was saying, Look, there are plenty of people who 172 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 6: are racist, but in this in this case, listen, I 173 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 6: can't imagine there are too many people who don't want 174 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 6: whoever's hell, who ever's responsible for this fraud to be 175 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 6: held responsible, whether they're black, brown, green, white, purple or 176 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 6: from another planet. Most people, most reasonable human beings, don't 177 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 6: care what color you are. If you're committing fraud or 178 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 6: murder or anything else, they just want you out and 179 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 6: and and just because they happen to be brown people. 180 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 6: As the Lovely Governor would say, Uh, who cares. I 181 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 6: don't care. 182 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: One of the big, the big froster's going on here 183 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: is Tim Wallas. He's not a brown person. I like 184 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: him investigated. And does that make me a you know, 185 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: self loathing white person, because what the hell? I mean, 186 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: that's what he's saying. It's got to be racially motivated. 187 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 6: So what I'd like to know then, if we can't 188 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 6: investigate or they shouldn't be investigating the the the brown people, 189 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 6: because that would be white supremacist, I'd like to know 190 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 6: does he have a list of people he'd like to 191 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 6: have investigating. I mean, we know he he wants Donald 192 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 6: Trump investigated, But is there a group of people that 193 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 6: he would like to see investigated for this fraud in Minnesota? 194 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 6: I mean, maybe just some off group that we could 195 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 6: pin the blame on. Or I mean, if you can't 196 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 6: investigate the people who probably did it, who can you investigate? 197 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 6: You know who. 198 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: I think, in a weird way, we have responsible for 199 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: exposing the fraud in Minnesota, Kamala Harris, because I don't 200 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: believe if Kamala Harris hadn't put a spotlight on Tim Walls, 201 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: we would have seen any of this, because Minneapolis, well, 202 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota can fly under the radar unless you put a 203 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: spotlight on it, and in this case, we did. Wed 204 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: she made him a household name. I'll be it a 205 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: foolish one. She made him a household name, and so 206 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: people started paying attention to his speeches, started being all 207 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: of a sudden, then they started noticing stuff going on 208 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: in his state. I don't think if he had been 209 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: picked for you know, if she'd gone with Joshapiro or 210 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: somebody from Pennsylvania, I don't think we would have seen 211 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: what was happening. So we owe Kamala Harris in a 212 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: weird way, I think a gred of datitude, a debt 213 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: of gratitude, because she has helped in exposing this massive 214 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: fraud going on, and the fact that the higher ups, 215 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: the elected officials, the Democrat elected officials in Minnesota, don't 216 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: have any foothold in reality whatsoever. 217 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 6: So if we're thanking Kamala Harris for this. Yeah, can 218 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 6: we make the humongous leap to call her a white supremacist. 219 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 6: You could try. 220 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: I love a problem with it. You could give it 221 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: a shot and see. But you know, there's no reality there. 222 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to help the people like we believe he's 223 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: pissing on us and telling us draining and doesn't believe 224 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: we've noticed the difference. There's no foothold in reality there whatsoever. 225 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: And I think you see the same kind of obliviousness. 226 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: Is that a word, okay? And what's possible? What is impossible? 227 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: And what's realistic? In New York too, where they just 228 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: basically swore in a communist as mayor this past week 229 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: with Zaron Mamdanni. He was sworn in. He was actually 230 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: sworn in by Bernie Sanders. 231 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 6: Waitly starts getting sworn at. 232 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, true enough, and he basically threw down the gauntlet 233 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: right out of the box. Cut twenty B. 234 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 4: I welcome the change. For too long, those fluent in 235 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 4: the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask 236 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,119 Speaker 4: agendas of cruelty. Many of these people have been betrayed 237 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: by the established order. But in our administration. Their needs 238 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 4: will be met, Their hopes and dreams and interests will 239 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 4: be reflected transparently in government. They will shape our future. 240 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: And if for too long these communities have existed as 241 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 4: distinct from one another, we will draw this city closer together. 242 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the 243 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 4: warmth of collectivism. If our campaign demonstrated that the people 244 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 4: of New York yearn for solidarity, then let this government 245 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 4: foster it. Because no matter what you eat, how you pray, 246 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 4: or where you come from, the words that most define 247 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 4: us are the two we all share New Yorkers. 248 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: The warmth of collectivism. I wish somebody would talk to 249 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: the people of Cuba, or the people that used to 250 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, live in the USSR, or any other you know, 251 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: communist group about how warm collectivism. 252 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 6: When he when he said that, When I heard him 253 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 6: say that, the first thing I thought of, And if 254 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 6: you know, you know, if you don't know, I'm not 255 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 6: going to explain it because I waste the time. But 256 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 6: I thought of the Borg from Star Trek. Oh, that's 257 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 6: so funny, the collective. 258 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: We are one. 259 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, So if you know, you know, and that's that's 260 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 6: New York everybody's just gonna be hooked, you know. We're all. 261 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the warmth of collectivism, you know, and individualism 262 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: is cold. Individualism is actually what warms people are. But anyway, 263 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: I think you're right if you can't explain to somebod 264 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: who doesn't understand. But he's given us fair warning, a 265 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,359 Speaker 1: zarmum Donnie's and he basically said, I'm a Democrat socialist 266 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: and that's what you elected. Cut twenty one A. 267 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 4: We will answer to all New Yorkers, not to any 268 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 4: billionaire or oligarch who thinks they can buy our democracy. 269 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology 270 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: for what we believe. I was elected as a democratic socialist, 271 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 4: and I will govern as a democratic socialist. 272 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: And there's one big problem with that. Well there's a couple, 273 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: but there's one that really glares out at me. And 274 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders basically gave everybody because I said before Bernie, 275 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: Senator Bernie Sanders Vermont was actually the guy who swore 276 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: him in because we weren't going for the religious thing there. 277 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: We were going for you know, secular. And he basically 278 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: at the inauguration said the billionaire class in New York City. 279 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: You know before warned what's about to happen to you? 280 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: Cut twenty three A. 281 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 7: The billionaire class in this city and in this country 282 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 7: have got to understand that in America they cannot have 283 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 7: it all. That America, our great country, must belong to 284 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 7: all of us, not just a few. And that lesson 285 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 7: begins today in New York City. 286 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 6: They'll learn their lesson. 287 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: All right, Well, I don't think that, And Bernie's not stupid. 288 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about Mom Donnie, to be honest with you, 289 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't know enough about him to know if he's 290 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: stupid or not. But I have to say that Bernie's 291 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: not stupid. And he has to understand that who pays 292 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: the tax base from which all the programs that Mam 293 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: Donnie wants to do, that would be the billionaire and 294 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: millionaire class. And so what happens if you chase them away? 295 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: Which if I'm a billionaire and can live anywhere, and 296 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: I happen to be in New York and someone says 297 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: we're about to take your money, you know, your your 298 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: free ride ends today. I'm i there, I'm going to 299 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: where I want. Why would I stay there? And you 300 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: know who learned that lesson Connecticut because Connecticut instituted a 301 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: millionaire tax. And what was the result. The millionaires left 302 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: and so did the tax base. So they went into 303 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: deep debt, couldn't afford anything, and they're still digging themselves 304 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: out of it. So this is what happens when you 305 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they don't pay taxes. Of course 306 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: they pay taxes, but you don't target them and make 307 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: them responsible for everything and tell them we're going to 308 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: take away your money. Because all they got to do 309 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: is go walk away, and that is what they do. 310 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: So the free buses, the free healthcare, the free grocery stores, 311 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: all that stuff that mom Donnie has promised, who's going 312 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: to pay for it? Because the guy who's making you know, 313 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars an hour can't afford just to do it. 314 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: You have to be able to depend upon the Wall 315 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: Street guys. You have to be able to depend on 316 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: the millionaire and the billionaires who bring job in, who 317 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: bring businesses in, who bring money into your tax base. 318 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: So you just told them to fuck off. Excuse the language, 319 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: I know, and I'm sorry about that then, but I 320 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: mean that's what you just told them. So what do 321 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: you think is going to happen, that this is just 322 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: no real world acknowledgment. 323 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 2: And here's the thing. 324 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: Look at any of these places that have tried to 325 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: run by communism, you know, picking off the millionaire base, 326 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: the millionaire base. Look at Soviet Look at Cuba, look 327 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: at Czechoslovakia, look at any of the Iron Curtain countries. 328 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: What happened to them? They disappeared because it is unsustainable. 329 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 6: I don't mean the nitpick, but you you you said, 330 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 6: who's going to pay for these free programs? 331 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 11: They're free? 332 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 6: Nobody has to pay for them. Don't you understand? That's 333 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 6: that's the mantra. It's free, everything's free. They don't nobody understand, 334 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 6: all right, not nobody. A lot of these nimrods don't 335 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 6: understand or they understand, but they just ignore it. Three 336 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 6: is not free. Somebody pays for it. And by the way, 337 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 6: that's somebody is the taxpayers, which whether you're a billionaire 338 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 6: taxpayer or a millionaire taxpayer or one hundred thousand air 339 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 6: taxpayer or just Joe Schmuck taxpayer, if you're a taxpayer, 340 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 6: you're paying for that free program, thank you very much. 341 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: And it's even worse than Bernie is alluding to. Here, 342 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: Bernie's just alluding to taxing the crap out of the 343 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: out of the billionaire class. But in this particular case, 344 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: the cabinet that Mom Donnie is picking is even worse. 345 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: Because here's this is going to be. You're gonna hear 346 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: Cia Weaver. She's Mom Donnie's tenant advocate appointee. Okay, this 347 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: is who she is. And in Twitter, this is just 348 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: surface this past week from twenty eighteen is a Twitter 349 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: video where she advocates seizing private property and implies that 350 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: home ownership is an example of white suit promisey. I 351 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: don't know if she was talking to Tim Walls before 352 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: she did this or just the word the year yeah, 353 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: twenty three A. 354 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 12: I think the reality is is that for centuries we've 355 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 12: really treated property as an individualized good and not a 356 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 12: collective good. And we are going to and transitioning to 357 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 12: treating it as a collective good and towards a model 358 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 12: of shared equity will require that we think about it differently, 359 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 12: and it will mean that families, especially white families, but 360 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 12: some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going 361 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 12: to have a different relationship to property than the one 362 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 12: that we currently have. 363 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: So this white woman, by the way, she's a white woman, 364 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: says that home ownership is an example of white privilege 365 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: and white supremacy, and you should be able to take 366 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: their property. Now here's a funny thing that happened. So 367 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: Bernie was bad enough, Now you've got this woman coming 368 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: in saying she can take your apartment build if you're 369 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: a white guy, and give it to people. So she 370 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: was walking down the street in New York and the 371 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: Daily Mail, which is a British paper, said can we 372 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: have a word with you for a second, And they 373 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: go up to her and say, so, it turns out 374 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 1: your mother, who is a white woman, owns in New 375 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: York this beautiful craftsman home that's worth a million and 376 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: a half two million dollars, So should we be able 377 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: to take her house? And Sia Weaver here just burst 378 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: into tears. Burst into tears. How dare you say that? 379 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 2: Really? 380 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: Because I'm pretty sure that's what you just said in 381 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. This is what I'm talking about. These people 382 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: live in fantasy land. They live in because you were 383 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting that you brought up the 384 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: borg in future Star Trek. This is a star trek 385 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: notion that people don't own anything, that everybody is equal, 386 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: and that everybody has the same thing, starting out the 387 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: same thing. Well, here's the problem with that. Not everybody 388 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: puts the same amount of effort into their careers or 389 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: their education. I think everybody should have equal opportunity. But 390 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: I think also diligence and hard work should be rewarded. 391 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: And that's where you get to home ownership. That's where 392 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: you get to businesses, small businesses striking out, or people 393 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: being successful in careers because you know they have skills, 394 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: they put the energy in, they put the effort in. 395 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: And when in Seattle a few years ago, a company 396 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: tried to do the equality thing, so they were paying 397 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: the CEO the same amount they were paying the mailroom guy, 398 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: the mailroom guy was thrilled. The CEO left, Well, I 399 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't the seeo because the CEO has different stresses, different responsibilities, 400 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: and a different work level thans required for the mailroom guy, 401 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: and they should be paid commensurately. And this just did 402 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: not occur to these idiots in Seattle, and apparently it's 403 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: not occurring to the idiots in New York City either. 404 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 6: By the way, I don't know how long it's going 405 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 6: to take when the house of cards will fall in 406 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 6: upon itself. More than likely it will. And here's the thing. 407 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 6: When it does, there will be a group of people. 408 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 6: Bernie Sanders, if you're still around, go what happened? I 409 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 6: don't understand Donald Trump? Well that too, But listen, these 410 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 6: people are telling you. They are telling you right now, 411 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 6: they are broadcast I have a shovel and I'm going 412 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 6: to hit you in the head with it. And by 413 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 6: the way, and still, when you get hit in the 414 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 6: head with the shovel, don't be surprised. They are telling 415 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 6: you ahead of time. 416 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: They're telling you to stand still so they can hit 417 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 1: so they can hit you with a shovel. 418 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, the shovel. 419 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. By the way, the DOJ, 420 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: after witnessing that that video put out by the new 421 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: Tenant Advocate appointee, issued a issued a warning issue Literally, 422 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: the DOJ has issued a warning to New York City. 423 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: We will be watching you. Any hint of racism and 424 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: that's what's taking white people's property, is any hint of racism, 425 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: and we are coming down on you with with God's 426 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: own thunder. Basically, bring the rasp so that's what they've said, 427 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: So they've already put in New York I notice we're watching, 428 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: and I think that's appropriate given given what was what's 429 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: going on. But the most fun story this week, I 430 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: have to tell you, Benjamin, was Venezuela. 431 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 6: Just fun as a relative charm it is. 432 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: I was amused by it. Apparently we annexed Venezuela this week, 433 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: or so, says President Trump. Cut one. 434 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 3: Late last night and early today, at my direction, the 435 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation in 436 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 3: the capital of Venezuela. Overwhelming American military power, air land 437 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 3: and sea was used to launch a spectacular assault. And 438 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 3: it was a assault like people have not seen since 439 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: World War Two. It was a force against a heavily 440 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas to bring 441 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: outlaw dictator Nicholas from Maduro to justice. 442 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: And then he gave an account of Dictator Maduro running 443 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: for the Panic room as the Marines came tumbling down. 444 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: Cut nine. 445 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 13: What was Maduro doing when the US forces entered what 446 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 13: I assume would be his home? And also was there 447 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 13: any point where the US was considering if Maduro pushed 448 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 13: back or resisted killing Moduro. 449 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 3: We could have happened. It could have happened. He was 450 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 3: trying to get into a safe place, you know, the 451 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: safe places all steel, and he wasn't able to make 452 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: it to the door because our guys were so fast. 453 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: They went through the opposition so fast, and there was 454 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 3: a lot of opposition. You know, people were wondering, did 455 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: we get it by surprise? Sort of surprise, but they 456 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: were waiting for something. It was a lot of opposition. 457 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 3: There was a lot of gunfire. You saw some of 458 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 3: it today. But he was trying to get to a 459 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 3: safe place, which wasn't safe because we would have had 460 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 3: the door blown up. And about forty seven I think 461 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 3: forty seven seconds they say on average, regardless of how 462 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 3: thick this seal was. 463 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 8: He it was a very thick door. He's a very 464 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 8: heavy door. But he was unable to get to that door. 465 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 8: He made it to the door, he was unable to 466 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 8: close it. 467 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: Okay. Secretary State Marco Rubio says, there is a lesson 468 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: in all of this. Cut fifteen. 469 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 14: The forty seventh President of United States is not a 470 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 14: game player. When he tells you that he's going to 471 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 14: do something, when God tells you he's going to address 472 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 14: a problem, he means it, he actions it. I can 473 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 14: tell you I've watched this process now for fourteen to 474 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 14: fifteen years, been around it. Everybody talks, I'm going to 475 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 14: do this, I'm gonna do that. When I get there, 476 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 14: We're going to do this. This is a president of action. 477 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 14: Like I don't understand yet how they haven't figured this out. 478 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 14: And now if you don't know, now you know, because 479 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 14: this is the way it's going to play out. And 480 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 14: I think people need to understand that this is not 481 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 14: a president that just talks and does letters and press conferences, 482 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 14: and if he says he's serious about something, he means it. 483 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 14: And this is something that was a direct threat to 484 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 14: the national interest of the United States, and the president 485 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 14: addressed it. There's a president of peace. By the way, 486 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 14: I told you what I just said earlier. This guy 487 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 14: had multiple opportunities to find his way somewhere else and 488 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 14: figure out another He could have been living somewhere else 489 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 14: right now, very happy, but instead he wanted to play 490 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 14: big boy. And so now you know, he's got other 491 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 14: sets of problems on his hands. But I think the 492 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 14: message here should be for the world. But the president 493 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 14: doesn't go out looking for people to pick fights with. 494 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 14: He's not generally wants to get along with everybody. Well, 495 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 14: talk to meet with anybody, but don't play games.

They're using Venezuela as a 499 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: warning to other Narco nations, and the president's telling them 500 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: to watch their ass. 501 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 2: Cut eighth. 502 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 11: In response to the United States taking sanction oil from Venezuela, 503 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 11: Colombian President Rostovo Petro criticized the United States by saying, well, 504 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 11: the Southwest has stolen land and that it should be 505 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 11: returned to Latin America. I just wanted to know what 506 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 11: your response to that. 507 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 8: Well, he has to watch because you know he's got 508 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 8: drug factors. They make cocaine in Colombia and he's no 509 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 8: friend of the United States. He's very bad, very bad guy, 510 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 8: and he's got to watch his ass because he makes 511 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 8: cocaine and they send it into the United States America 512 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 8: from Colombia. We love the Colombian people. I love the 513 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 8: Colombian people. They're great people, energetic, smart, great but their 514 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 8: new leader is a trouble banker and he better watch it. 515 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 8: You better close up those cocaine factories. They have at 516 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 8: least three major cocaine factories. We know where they are. 517 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 6: He better close them up fast. 518 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 15: Yeah. 519 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 6: Yeah. 520 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, Cuba's also a little nervous here 521 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: cut too well. 522 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 15: One of the things that is happening. And I think 523 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 15: you see it. You see it all the time. How 524 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 15: you've seen it that Cuba is ready to fall. Yes, 525 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 15: Cuban looks like it's ready to fall. 526 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 16: I don't know how they if they're going to hold out, 527 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 16: but Cuba now has no income. 528 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 15: They got all of their income from Venezuela, from the 529 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 15: Venezuelan oil. 530 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 16: They're not getting any of it. 531 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 15: Cuba literally is ready to fall. And you have a 532 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,239 Speaker 15: lot of great Cuban Americans. They're going to be very 533 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 15: happy about this. 534 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 13: They go to and you were just talking about Cuba 535 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 13: and what could come next there, or you could considering 536 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 13: us action in Cuba. 537 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 16: We're not going I think it's just going to fall. 538 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 16: I don't think we did any action. It looks like 539 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 16: it's going down. It's going down for the count. Do 540 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 16: you ever watch a fight? I have to go down 541 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 16: for the count. 542 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: So Columbia and Cuba better watch it. Meanwhile, we're going 543 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: to rebuild our American oil companies, are going to rebuild 544 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: Venezuela's oil industry and put them back on the map. 545 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: And this is all. 546 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: You know, This all happened within the period of twelve hours. 547 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: But then the big issue now coming down is a 548 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: lot of consternation over a non Narco country, and that 549 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: would be Greenland, which is basically a protectorate of Denmark, 550 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: and people are concerned because the President has said Greenland 551 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: is very, very important to the United States. 552 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 16: Cut for b I will say this about Greenland. 553 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 15: We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. 554 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 15: Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships 555 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 15: all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint 556 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 15: of national security, and Denmark is not going to be 557 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 15: able to do it. 558 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 16: I can tell you that. 559 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 15: You know what Denmark did recently to push up security 560 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 15: in Greenland. They added one more dogs. Man, It's true. 561 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 15: They thought that was a great move. 562 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 6: What would justification be, Oh, I don't want. 563 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 16: To talk about Greenland down. 564 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 15: I just say this, we need Greenland from the standpoint 565 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 15: of national security, and the European Union needs. 566 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 6: Us to have it, and that part of the is 567 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 6: so true, and people shake their heads that Donald Trump's 568 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 6: a life. We do need Greenland for national security. Now, 569 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 6: you can make the argument about. 570 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: Greenland wants to leave Denmark. They don't want to be 571 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: around Denmark, so if we don't do something with them. 572 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 6: You know, and here's the thing, and I don't want 573 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 6: to get into the history or and I'm not exactly 574 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 6: like an expert on it anyway, but you want to 575 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 6: know just how important Greenland is to national security and 576 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 6: in North America's security, which of course involves more than 577 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 6: just the United States. North America is a big, big place. 578 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 6: It's a continent. So is during World War Two, United 579 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 6: States troops occupied Greenland. Why to keep Nazi Germany from 580 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 6: basically having a hop, skip and a jump over to 581 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 6: North America. And that's how important it is for not 582 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 6: only national but world security. Now, the argument of whether 583 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 6: it should be annextra taken over or whatever is is, 584 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 6: you know, something different is something different, but something's got 585 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 6: to be worked out, whether whether Greenland just says hey, 586 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 6: come on over and hang out or whatever, it's got 587 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 6: to be done because otherwise you mentioned Russia and China, 588 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 6: who are the big Yeah, you know, advocate our adversaries now, 589 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 6: but yeah, I mean it's only a generation or two 590 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 6: ago where Greenland could have been the stepping stone for 591 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 6: Nazi Germany to continue its attempt to take over the world. 592 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 6: So it's important. And when people say, oh, Trump's blown 593 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 6: out out of proportion, that part, he's not. 594 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: So the question becomes do we do it militarily or 595 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: do we do it financially? Nobody wants militarily. And Stephen Miller, 596 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: who's the special who's the special adjunct to the President, 597 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: was on CNN and he was asked this question by 598 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper cut four D by what. 599 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 17: Right does Denmark is certain control over Greenland? What is 600 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 17: the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis 601 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 17: of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark? The United States? 602 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 17: Is the power of NATO for the United States to 603 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 17: secure the Arctic region, to protect and defend NATO and 604 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 17: NATO interest. Obviously Greenland should be part of the United States. 605 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 17: And so that's a conversation that we're going to have 606 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 17: as a country, that's a process we're going to have 607 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 17: as a as a you community of nations. 608 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: So then Jake Tapper on CNN tried to turn this 609 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: into so you're going to invade Greenland, which, as we 610 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: just said, there are other options, one of which is 611 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: buying Greenland, one of which is having a referendum. There's 612 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: many options besides military, but that didn't really fit the 613 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: mainstream media or progressive left. They want to make it 614 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: seem as if we're getting ready to have marines drop 615 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: on to Greenland. 616 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 6: Cut for e. 617 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 5: Get off the table that the US would use military 618 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 5: force to seize Greenland. 619 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 17: You get Jake I unders said, you're trying very hard 620 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 17: to which which again is your job. 621 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 4: I respect. 622 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 17: It is great to get exactly the headline right that 623 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 17: catchy headlines trying to get an answer. It says that 624 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 17: says Miller refuses to rule out the the United States 625 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 17: should have Greenland as part of the United States. There's 626 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 17: no need to even think or talk about this in 627 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 17: the context that you're asking of a military operation. Nobody's 628 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 17: going to fight the United States militarily over the future 629 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 17: of Greenland. 630 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's correct. I also think that the 631 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: president has more of an idea like how we bought 632 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: Alaska or how we bought you know, the Louisiana purchase 633 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: or Texas or a lot of these things. They weren't annexing. 634 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 1: We bought them. People wanted to be on board. How 635 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: to be a referendum in Greenland, they have to want 636 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: to be part of the United States, and then you 637 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: work out a financial deal that to me, with this 638 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: president who is you know, who's synonymous with the art 639 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: of the deal, is most likely what's going to happen. 640 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with military, but they want 641 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: you to think it does. 642 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 6: After you know, Venezuela, everybody who screams and yells about 643 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 6: I'm not going to be another state or you know 644 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 6: they talking about Venezuela is going to be the fifty 645 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 6: first state or some other crack like. 646 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: That should be the fifty first state. 647 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 6: Well, here's the thing, though, they don't have to be 648 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 6: a state. 649 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: No, it could be like Guam it's a protectorate, or 650 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: like Puerto Rico, or. 651 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 6: There's a lot of places around the world that and 652 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 6: a lot of countries have a lot of their Yeah, 653 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 6: there are a lot of places, and France has a 654 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 6: few and there. 655 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: Right now, Greenland is a territory of Denmark, but it 656 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be it's said Mala doesn't want to be. 657 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 6: Be a territory of the United States. 658 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, they could, So there's a lot of other options 659 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: besides annexing it and making it the fifty first state. 660 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: Although I'm not averse to the fifty first. 661 00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 6: Well, the only problem I have is, uh, I don't 662 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 6: want the fifty first state. I really don't. 663 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,959 Speaker 1: I like the number fifty n you mess up, get 664 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico in there too, so you can have even. 665 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 6: Well, if you remember back a few several years ago, 666 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 6: a President Obama referred to fifty seven states. So maybe 667 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 6: that should be our goal. 668 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: Our goal bringing the US Virgin Islands. 669 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 6: Maybe there's yeah, if we got to look, we got 670 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 6: we got Venezuela. You know, Columbia keeps there. Crap up 671 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 6: will take them. Yeah, we'll have fifty seven the year. 672 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 2: I think we could do it. 673 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: But I think Greeland would make a nice fifty first state. 674 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: So we end every work every week with a truth 675 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: or troll, and this week is no different. And you know, 676 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: we've we haven't really used President Trump as a truth 677 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: or troll recently, so it's only fitting that we kind 678 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: of begin the new year with President Trump. Here he 679 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: is speaking on Air Force one. He responding to a 680 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: claim that he kidnapped Maduro cut five, and he kind 681 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: of peacekeeping. 682 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 13: I think American it depends on what happens. 683 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 3: It depends a little bit on the new administration, if 684 00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 3: you want to call it. 685 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 13: So you see that pushback from Rodriguez, and ultimately I 686 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 13: think he. 687 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 8: Was or book. 688 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 15: I think that she, you know, you hear a different person. 689 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 13: Than I really we talked to him, Oh you did 690 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 13: speak because she called it kidnapping. 691 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: It's not a bad term, not a bad term. So 692 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: do you think that he really has no problem calling 693 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: it kidnapping or is he just poking the press right 694 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: there because you know. 695 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 6: Obviously there you know there's military involved that we've we've 696 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 6: we've captured leaders before in America's history. 697 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: I don't think we're ranting him off though. I think 698 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: it's kind of like, you know, well, we we made 699 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: him to the Purp Walk and at the in New York, 700 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: at the DEA headquarters where he said Happy New Year 701 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: at everybody is.
