1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Six one seven two six sixty eight sixty eight is

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: the number Linda in Medford. Thanks for holding Linda, and welcome.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: Oh. I tell you, I agree with a little bit

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: with just about everybody that's called. I think the visual

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: of Laduro and his wife being walked in New York

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: is phenomenal. I'm very pleased to see something like that.

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: But the other thing is that if we're talking about

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: the economy and money, get out of the UN. I'm

9
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: tired of supporting the world. I don't see this as

10
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: really being an economical type of misstep.

11
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that's one of the things I also

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: wanted Trump to do. Now, he can't do everything, and

13
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: he's done a lot in his first year. In fact,

14
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: to be honest, that's one of the reasons why I'm

15
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: such a big supporter of his. He's done more in

16
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: one year twenty twenty five than most presidents have done

17
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: in eight years. So he's got I mean a record

18
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: amount of achievements and accomplishments, and I think his second

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: year is going to even be stronger than his first year.

20
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: But one of the things, Linda, that I've wanted Trump

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: to do is to cut foreign aid because I agree.

22
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: With you a.

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: We should be out of the UN. The UN is

24
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: a big waste of money. We bankroll much of it,

25
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: and it's a club for dictators and tyrants who hate

26
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: the United States. It's an anti American club for dictators.

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: So I would be very happy to get out of

28
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: the UN. But I also I'm tired of taking care

29
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of the entire world. And you know, let's just leave

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Andezuela off the table just for a second. You know,

31
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: we're going to be sending even more money now to

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: Ukraine because you know, Zelensky is, you know, asking for

33
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: more money. He's afraid that his forces are now on

34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: the ropes, that the Russians are winning the war, and

35
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: that if he doesn't get help, that Putin may just

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: roll into Odessa and Kharkiv and eventually Kiev itself will fall.

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: And so there he is, hot in hand, begging for

38
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: more money from Us, from the Europeans and from NATO.

39
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: Well maybe you shouldn't have stolen so much money him

40
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: and his regime of kleptocrats. All they did was steel

41
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: and steel and steel, and now they come crying to us.

42
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: So I can give you country after country after country

43
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: where all we do is, you know, economically, take care

44
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: of the world. Much of the money is siphoned off,

45
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: embezzled or stolen, and what do we get for We

46
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: get hardly nothing for it. So I'm with you. I

47
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: would cut almost all foreign aid and it's time to

48
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: invest on for America here at home and you know,

49
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: America for Americans. That's been my slogan now for many years.

50
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: And you know that's why I look at Venezuela and

51
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, I get it.

52
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: I'm not saying there aren't good reasons for it. There are.

53
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the operation wasn't brilliant because it was.

54
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was illegal because it was it

55
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: It was perfectly legal. I'm just saying, as an America first,

56
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: MAGA supporter and conservative, what's in it for us? I

57
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: mean substantially in the long run, what's in it for us?

58
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: And if we're there for a couple of years, ay

59
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: ya yaii, this could become very expensive, very fast. So

60
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: to me, we got enough problems. We don't need to

61
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: look for more problems. But that's me, Linda.

62
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: Thank you for that call.

63
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Russ in Boston. Russ, you've been holding patiently thank you,

64
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: and I want to wish you a happy, healthy New year.

65
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: All the bed go this time?

66
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 4: All right, anyways, let me start from the beginning of

67
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 4: what I wanted to start with.

68
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 5: This.

69
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: Okay, glory, glory, hallelujah, glory, glory, hallelujah. Thanks to President Trump,

70
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: the free world is matching on again. The people of

71
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: Venezuela will be free again. Venezuela will return to its

72
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 4: glory days. This is personal with me. My wife is

73
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: family in Venezuela. This is getting Russia and China out

74
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: of our backyard. This is in our best interest for

75
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: many reasons. To me, the message is clear to friend

76
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: and fall alike. Don't f what the United States of America.

77
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 4: Are you going to pay a price for it? Jeff,

78
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 4: I loved as in Trump. He's a great leader and

79
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: I voted for this full package. I'm in a total

80
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: agreement with him. And believe me, if we had an

81
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: honest meet in this country, he would have an eighty

82
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 4: percent of proble writing. But Jeff, I want to add

83
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: one other thing. You said you're not rich, But Jeff,

84
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: you are rich. You have a loving wife and two

85
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 4: healthy children. You're a rich man.

86
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: Oh I don't no question. I meant no. I just

87
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: meant materially, that's what I No. No, you're right.

88
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: My wife and my children are blessings my God. I

89
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: thank God. I thank the Lord for them every day.

90
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: Uh so, you're completely right, Russ. If I listen, if

91
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: I can just ask you this, because I know you

92
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: have found your wife has family in Venezuela.

93
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: Are you at all.

94
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: Concerned that the remnants of the regime or these revolutionary

95
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: guerrillas who are in the cocaine business from Colombia. They're

96
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: literally trafficking cocaine, that's the business they're in. Are you

97
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: worried that they can go into the jungles of Venezuela

98
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: or the mountains of Venezuela and wage an insurgency against

99
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: US troops and US forces. Does that concern you as

100
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: a military man?

101
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: Russ?

102
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: Jeff Remember Donald Bush? Yeah, Donald Trump, there's no Bush.

103
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: Nos Lendon Ben's Jackass. Okay, He's neither one of those

104
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: two people. Trump will not put up with any crap

105
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: from anybody, okay. And what Trump tries to do in

106
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 4: his whole life is try to create them.

107
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: Russ, do me a favor, please hang on, Okay, let's

108
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: go right back to Russ in Boston. Russ, I thought

109
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: you made a very interesting point. You're saying, Look, Jeff,

110
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: if things go sour in Venezuela, if there is an insurgency,

111
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: if the remnants of the regime decide to fight on

112
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: or go to the jungles or the mountains of Venezuela,

113
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: You're not dealing with an LBJ in the White House,

114
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: or an Obama or a George W.

115
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: Bush. Trump will drop the hammer and wipe them out.

116
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: So, Russ, are you basically saying you think it's the

117
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: character of Trump, the leadership of Trump, that's the difference maker.

118
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: That's why you trust him so much in this UH,

119
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: in his you know, in his UH, in his decision

120
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: to overthrow Maduro.

121
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, but it goes beyond Trump.

122
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: Okay.

123
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: First of all, Jeff, and I have to tell you this.

124
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: My wife's uncle and att went to Venezuela after World

125
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: War Two. They spent a few years there. They made

126
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: enough money that they went back to Italy and they

127
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: bought a big commercial building in Pascata, and they bought

128
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: other property and everything else. Donzraelo is very prosperous. A

129
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: lot of Italians went to Venezuela and did very extremely well.

130
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: One of my wife's nieces they had a big electrical

131
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: business there and they did very well. You know, they

132
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: came there several times and so forth. So it was

133
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: a prosperous country. The majority of people, the average people

134
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: like us, remember how it was. They wanted to go

135
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: back to that. And there's no way they're going to

136
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: put up with the insurgents. They'll turn on them, they'll

137
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: spy on them and everything else. They will not win.

138
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: And these people that are in power now, and you know,

139
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 4: Trump plays a good game. Oh yeah, we're going to

140
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: help you understand power and all this other stuff, okay,

141
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: because he doesn't want them to start taking the military

142
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: and start in a civil war there. So he's playing

143
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: that game with them, all right. Remember he's a massive

144
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 4: chess player. Trump is the best there is. There is

145
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 4: no one better than him, asprise me on the professional negotiator. Okay,

146
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 4: But along with that, you've got the Venezuelan people that

147
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: want a chance to have freedom again, independence and prosperity.

148
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: Interesting, interesting, Russ. Thank you as always very interesting. I

149
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: love your calls, Russ, and again, happy New Year and

150
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: all the best of you and your family. Russ six

151
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Let

152
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: me throw just quickly another log on the fire. Obviously,

153
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: the question is still out there. Do you support Trump's

154
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: decision to topple maduro a b his decision now to

155
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: run Venezuela at least for a transition period until he

156
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: says the oil infrastructure is rebuilt and order and stability

157
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: is returned, and they could have free elections. So we're

158
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: looking at maybe a two to three process. We'll see,

159
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: but he says there will be a process and that

160
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: he will effectively his people and Rubio and others will

161
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: be running the country in some kind of a transitional

162
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: governing structure. They're still working out the details, but essentially

163
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: the US will be administering and running Venezuela. Do you

164
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: support that or does that strike you as nation building?

165
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm just curious now the other log, what do you

166
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: think now about this new Trump doctrine, the Donroe doctrine,

167
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: his corollary to the Monroe doctrine of American dominance in

168
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere, that after the overthrow of Maduro, he's

169
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: now putting Columbia on notice he's putting Cuba on notice.

170
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: He's now told Denmark we want greenland and it over.

171
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: We'll pay for it, obviously, but we need greenland and

172
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: we want greenland. Do you support this or does this

173
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: strike you as imperialism, as Bushism, as neo conservatism, and

174
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: way as a sense even almost globalism. Are we now

175
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: in the regime change imperialist business?

176
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 3: And is this what you voted for?

177
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight

178
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: lines are jammed. Hugh in Bedford. Thanks for holding, Hugh,

179
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: and welcome.

180
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 5: Hello Jeff, Hi, Hugh.

181
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 6: Hey, listen, I just wanted to tell you about something

182
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 6: that happened this weekend.

183
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: You can you do me a favor. We can barely

184
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: hear you because of the radio. Can you turn your

185
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: radio down?

186
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 4: Okay?

187
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 5: Can you hear me now?

188
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: Yes, loud and clear? Go ahead you.

189
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: Anyway.

190
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 6: In the Beehive Bar, there was a Venezuelan band this weekend.

191
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 6: My daughter is an accomplished singer and she went in

192
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 6: there to see it. And at the middle of the show,

193
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 6: the Venezuelan band stopped and thanked Donald Trump for what

194
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 6: they've done in their country, and no one clapped except

195
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 6: my daughter and her girlfriend. There were fifty or sixty

196
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 6: people there. So anytime you think that things are American.

197
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 5: They're not.

198
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 6: In Boston, it's as bad as it is in New York.

199
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 6: I don't know where these people come from or what

200
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 6: they think. They woke up this morning, there were no

201
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 6: bombs on their doorstep, the water was on, they got

202
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 6: a hot shower, and they drove to work in a

203
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 6: peaceful country and they can't appreciate it. It's very sad.

204
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 6: And those two girls were modified that no one clapped

205
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 6: for that Venezuelan band.

206
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Hugh, that's the most disgusting thing of

207
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: all because when you look at they're eating out of

208
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: trash cans in Venezuela. Right, And I'm not saying you know,

209
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: one person here, one person there. I'm talking you go

210
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: to Caracas or some of the other cities. It is

211
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: a common sight to see ordinary people who used to

212
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: have jobs, who used to have a home or an

213
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: apartment or car or you know whatever. They were working

214
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: middle class, but they had a life. You know, Okay,

215
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: it's Venezuela. It's not the United States.

216
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: I get it. But they had a life.

217
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: And then Chavez and Maduro came to power and they're

218
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: eating out of trash cans and garbage bins. Eight million

219
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: of them fled the country because of massive poverty and starvation.

220
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: And these moonbats can't even say, yeah, good for the

221
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: Venezuelan people, you know, bravo, bravo. They don't have to

222
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: live under this misery and oppression. And Hugh, I gotta

223
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: tell you, and I'm gonna talk about it on tomorrow's show.

224
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: Believe me.

225
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: What's scaring me is what we're seeing here in places

226
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: like New York with Mamdannie. Now there's even more. I

227
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: got stuff for all of you tomorrow regarding now what

228
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: they're planning to do here in Boston and in Massachusetts.

229
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: They admire, they admire Maduro. He's comrade Maduro, he's victim Maduro,

230
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: he's martyr Maduro. The left is saying free Maduro, like

231
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what, Like he's Nelson Mandela or something,

232
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: this butcher, this mass murderer.

233
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 5: So this is what I mean.

234
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: There's a Marxist Communist revolutionary sickness. You can see it

235
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: in the air, and it's infecting city after city. And Hugh,

236
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: my big worry is that we're going to have our

237
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: own Madula take over the White House one day, and

238
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: when that happens, we're in big trouble. To me, that's

239
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: the thing we have to stop. But no, I wish

240
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not surprised. No,

241
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: they're They're acting like really, they're directing. It's not just

242
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: Massachusetts or Boston, It's Chicago, it's la Did you see Hollywood?

243
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Hollywood's they got to impeach Trump? Impeach him for what?

244
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 6: For?

245
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 7: What?

246
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: You have all these idiot democrats and pitch and pitch

247
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: say illegal? What law did he break? What was illegal

248
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: about what Trump did? Now, whether it's in the national

249
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: interest or not, that's a different discussion. But what was

250
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: so illegal about it?

251
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: Nothing?

252
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: Not literally nothing if if this is trumps arrangement syndrome.

253
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, Hewitt's sick. It's sick when you

254
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: have people from a third world country telling you, thank you,

255
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: our people are no longer going to live in squalor,

256
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: poverty and misery, and you can't even muster a little.

257
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: A little clap of the hand. Uh, that's pretty sick.

258
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: I mean, that's sick. Hugh Am, I wrong, did we

259
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: lose you and registered nurse. Go ahead. I'm sorry, Hugh,

260
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: go ahead.

261
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 6: My daughter is a very accomplished singer and registered nurse.

262
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 6: And she came home and she said, Dad, I was

263
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 6: mortified that no one in that room could clap for

264
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 6: that Venezuelan band that was pouring their heart out on

265
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: the stage to say to the American people, thank you,

266
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 6: thank you. And there were only two patriots in the room,

267
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 6: thirty year old nurses. It's very sad. And I don't

268
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 6: know where these people come from, or who educated them,

269
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 6: or who they work for, but in the words of

270
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 6: Hillary Clinton, the US government will be the.

271
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: Hugh, thank you very very much for that call. I

272
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: appreciated you.

273
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to Dave, our Western PA constitutionalist correspondent

274
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: near the Pittsburgh area in Pennsylvania.

275
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: Dave, Happy New Year, my friend.

276
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,080

281
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 7: Good, good, good, Hey, Jeff, I'm going to tell you

282
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 7: something right now. I'm gonna I'm gonna use I'm gonna

283
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 7: start to hear off of a phrase from you. I'm

284
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 7: gonna pop some yummy popcorn and drink some diapepsia. I

285
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 7: know you like dia cook, but I'll drink diapepsi and

286
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 7: watch New York burn to the ground. Buddy's that's where

287
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 7: they're headed.

288
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: Has certainly lit the match, that's for sure. Dave, as

289
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: a veteran, as a marine, as someone who served in

290
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: war yourself, what do you make of Trump's decision to

291
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: oust Maduro and then his announcement that we're going to

292
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: be running Venezuela at least for a transition phase and

293
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: that this could go on, maybe even for a couple

294
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: of years.

295
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 7: What say you, two thousand percent?

296
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: Chef?

297
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 7: To quote you again, because had there's been the bushdocrine,

298
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 7: we would be in there forever, Jeff, unlike in Iraq

299
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 7: and Afghanistan. But here's the thing, to Jeff, we needed

300
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 7: to stop because, as I told you before, I lost

301
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 7: the nephew to fentanel up in Butler, pennsylvania're not too

302
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 7: far from where the President was shot in the air.

303
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 7: But that aside, Jeff, you know, my nephew didn't have

304
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 7: to do drugs so there's some responsibility he has to

305
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 7: take to. Unfortunately he's where regard the lord received. But

306
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 7: you know, Jeff, this is going to put a dent

307
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 7: into the drug trade. And this is also, as the

308
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 7: news report, are going to hurt the ty coons, the Russians,

309
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 7: and the Cubans because they get the oil mainly from Madero.

310
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 7: If I'm not wrong, right well, Cuba.

311
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: In particular is in big trouble because the Venezuelan oil

312
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: subsidizes that regime. In fact, I don't know if you

313
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: saw the latest comments, but Trump came out and said

314
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: that the Cuban government quote is about to fall. Now

315
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: we've been seeing what's going on in Iran the last

316
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, or the protests on the streets every

317
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: major city. The economies in a tailspind their currency is

318
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: it's disintegrating, it's gone. So Iran, I'm thinking, yeah, the

319
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: regime is tottering, but teetering. Forgive me Cuba. I mean

320
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: it's very poor, it's been mismanaged, but I didn't think

321
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: it was teetering. But Trump now is saying it's teetering now.

322
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: To be fair, I don't know if that's our Cia.

323
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: You know what you know. In other words, doing to Cuba.

324
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 3: We've been doing to Maduro, which is laying the groundwork

325
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: for the Cuban regime to fall. So we'll see.

326
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: But I think this could be the first of many dominoes.

327
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I think you may see Venezuela, Cuba, and then Columbia fall,

328
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: and if that happens, massive blow to the left. The

329
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: Marxist left will have been dealt one of the greatest

330
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: blows in the Western hemisphere in the last hundred years.

331
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 7: On one point, and I'm going to be honest, I'm

332
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 7: not a big fan of the CIA. Neither are you,

333
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 7: because most of them is deep sea. You know, you

334
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 7: got good ones and bad ones. They'd be FBI. But Jeff,

335
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 7: here's the point too. I feel a lot more comfortable

336
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 7: with the CIA where they're at now under Trump than

337
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 7: where they were in previous administrations. Absolutely, because other administrations

338
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 7: up till Reagan were always deep state, you know what

339
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 7: I'm saying, Tess. So I feel I don't totally trust

340
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 7: the CIA, but I'm glad that they're in under Trump

341
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 7: and that we have a good leadership in the CIA

342
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 7: that's going to cut this each state crap out. How

343
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 7: do you feel, Jeff, I hope so.

344
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 3: I hope so.

345
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: Look, the CIA was pivotal in the overthrow of Maduro.

346
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Apparently they were operating inside the country now for several months.

347
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: We suspected it, obviously, but they confirmed it, and apparently

348
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: they were able to get a couple of moles. They

349
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: had people within Maduro's inner circle. I don't know if

350
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: they bribed them. I don't know if they promised them something.

351
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if they use some people who may

352
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: have felt insulted or mistreated by Maduro, whatever it is.

353
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: But we had people within Maduro's inner circle who had

354
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: turned on Meruro. They were basically our moles, and they

355
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: were feeding us information down to when he ate, what

356
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 1: he had for dinner, I'm not kidding, when he went

357
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: to bed, when he went to the bathroom, his travel schedule,

358
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: his entire routine, his wife him, I mean everything. They

359
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: knew the details of his compound, they knew the details

360
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: of his bedroom, they knew the details of that steel

361
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: reinforced a safe room that he had in case, you know,

362
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: we launched a raid, and so they recreated it here

363
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: in the United States and Delta Special Operations Forces kept

364
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: you in you know, test Ron after test RN, after

365
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: test run. That's why the operation was so smooth, because

366
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: there had been so much planning ahead of time, and

367
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: we had so many details. Because the CIA penetrated Maduro's

368
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: inner circle. So at the bare minimum, Dave, he's made

369
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: the CIA competent again. You know, our CIA was an

370
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: international laughing stock, you know, under Obama, under Biden, frankly,

371
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: even under Bush under Clinton. No, we're involved in operations

372
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: and you know they're they're toppling governments and they're clean, precise, effective,

373
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: decisive operations. So look, from a military point of view,

374
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: this was brilliant. This was brilliant. I think what everybody's

375
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: nervous about is what comes next, what happens next, and

376
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: let's just keep our fingers crossed. Dave, as always, thank

377
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: you very much for that call.

378
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: Bruce in Florida. I hate to do this to you.

379
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: I've only got one minute left.

380
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: The floor is yours?

381
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 7: Go?

382
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 5: Okay, Jeff, you mentioned I turned on late. You mentioned

383
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 5: the Trump's corollary to the Monroe douction. Yes, there was

384
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 5: another corollary of one Theodore Roosevelt. And in that corollary,

385
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 5: Theodore said that the United States can operate as an

386
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 5: international police power in Latin America. And one of the

387
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: things that were supposed to prevent is debt collection from

388
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 5: foreign power. Now China is very active

389
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: In Mike, you couldn't give the guy another twenty seconds
