4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: It's a big bestseller. But if you haven't read the book,

Speaker 1: The Big Guy, get Miranda Divine's book and listen to

Speaker 1: great episodes are out wherever you get podcasts. Miranda Divine,

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: how you doing.

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: I'm really well. Thanks Mark, Thanks for having me on.

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: Thanks for all the great work, great columns. Hey talk

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: about the media, the far left me even normal mainstream

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: it's gone crazy. Those two Isis bomb throwers are just happy,

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: go lucky teenagers and they're attacking us over Iran. What

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: is going on here?

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: I just think that Trump derangement has gripped so hard

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: that they can't even see for their own self protection

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: or the protection of their readers, their viewers. They don't care.

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: You know.

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: They make us more at risk by downplaying these terrorist attacks.

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I think now it's impossible for them to

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: pretend that we're not suffering from a rise, a surge

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: in Islamic terrorism, And this is something that New York

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: knows all too well, and yet we have a mayor

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: who is the chief of the down players. He posed

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: as if he were the victim of the two Isis

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: inspired suspects who threw those homemade bombs into a crowd

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: outside his grace in ancient He was perfectly safe because

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: he's got a massive detail and the house is set

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: right back from the street. But still he just could

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: not bring himself to utter the word terrorism until two

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: or three days on. And at the very beginning, he

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: was just railing against what was it like white supremacy

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: and bigotry and racism because they were these anti Muslim

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: protesters outside Gracey Ansen, but the attackers were attacking them.

35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: They were on his side. And you know, this is

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: a mayor who doesn't get it.

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe he does get it. Maybe, you know,

38
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: like inviting that terrorist sympathizer to dinner at Gracy Mansion

39
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: if he wanted to be his friend, maybe talk to

40
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: him privately on the phone, but to bring him right

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: into Gracy Mansion. He's trying to send us a message

42
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: of some.

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Kind, isn't he And then tweet out a photo. It

44
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: wasn't as if he was even discreet about it. He

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: invited Mahmood Khalil, who's the anti Hamas agitator who organized

46
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: or led the Columbia protests and to the Trump administration

47
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: has been trying to deport and has become a cause

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: celebrity in the left. And ford Or this guy is

49
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: just a hero and a saint. So he invites him

50
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: over and honors him with a special dinner. And that's

51
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: just twenty four hours after these two bombs that only

52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: by the grace of God did not explode and kill

53
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: and name dozens of people and police officers.

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: This is all just in the first few weeks, is Mayor.

55
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: Then the cop is shot him, he goes to visit

56
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: the shooter in the hospital, not the Yeah, so what

57
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: are we going to do for the next three and

58
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: a half years.

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, Danny's just the most obvious manifestation of

60
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: this sickness and the Democrat Party and you know, as

61
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: you say, they identify with the persecutor, not the victim.

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: They are soft on crime because they think that anybody

63
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: who's locked up by law enforcement is a victim, and

64
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: they're victims are just people that you're just inconvenient truths.

65
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: That you just want to ignore. And they seem to

66
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: feel that they themselves are impervious to any consequences. And

67
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: I guess when you control cities like the Democrats do

68
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: across this country. They control the greatest cities New York, LA, Chicago.

69
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: They control the nation's capital to the point where you

70
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: cannot Washington, d C. The Trump administration cannot get a

71
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: jury that is unbiased, so they can't really prosecute any

72
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: of the cases they want to bring, and they're they're

73
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: a sort of a stalemate. And you know, the Democrats

74
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: also control the legal profession, and so they're busy concocting

75
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: new law fare while the Trump administration, the DOJ is

76
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: kind of flow and on the back foot and has

77
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of vipers within the nest.

78
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: Miranda divine. The other media narrative is about Iran. Well,

79
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the president has not explained to us what the do

80
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: you need anything explained to you? I think I could

81
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: see the purpose of this war, can't you.

82
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's been crystal clear from the

83
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: bombing last year of the nuclear facilities at Fudo to

84
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: the Saturday that he decided to launch an attack. I

85
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: think it's been pretty obvious. I mean it's actually has

86
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: been obvious for almost half a century that Iran is

87
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: our enemy, and they make no bones about it. They're

88
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: constantly saying death to America. They fund all the proxies

89
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: that attack Americans from the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan.

90
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: They are the masterminds of the IEDs that killed and

91
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: maimed and left brain injured so many American soldiers. So

92
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: we know that they do not mean well to us.

93
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: But every other president has, you know, erred on the

94
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: side of caution and decided that Iran is too big

95
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: a beast to go after, and so they've just tried

96
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: to appease them with billions of dollars of cash as

97
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: the Barmer administration did, or turn a blind eye, or

98
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: kick the can down the road. And Donald Trump's not

99
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: a guy to kick the can down the road. So

100
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: for good or for ill, we're in it now. And

101
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: I think it's incumbent on us to support what the

102
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: administration is doing and just hope they know what they're doing.

103
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Hey, Miranda Devine, do we need obviously we do, but

104
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: can we ever get term limits? You know you got

105
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: this Clyburn James Clyburn. He's eighty five running for reelection.

106
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: We really do need term limits, don't we.

107
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need term limits, and also we don't need dynasties. Honestly,

108
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: what is it? Cliburn's daughter apparently is waiting in the

109
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: takeover when he finally decides, after what is it seventeen terms,

110
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: that he might take a break. The problem is he

111
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: has such a stranglehold on that neck of the woods

112
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: that he'll just get whatever he wants or he'll be

113
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: able to run again from a coffin.

114
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Not good, Not good. Hey, we love your podcast, Miranda Devine.

115
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Us a great podcast, Pod Force one. There's soole many

116
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: great episodes with President Trump. Everybody can go on. Wherever

117
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: you get your podcast, you can listen to all of them.

118
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: Who do you have next?

119
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: So we've got oh, I'm trying to remember. I think

120
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: it's Brendan Carr, the FCC commissioner. It was going to

121
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: be James Coma. We're interviewing both, but James Coma's got

122
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: just had an issue in Kentucky that he's got to stay.

123
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: So we're not sure if we're going to be able

124
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: to interview James Karma. I would love to do that

125
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: love to find out what he thought of Hillary Clinton

126
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: her testimony and what he thinks of Jill Biden's new book.

127
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: So we will get to him at some point, but

128
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: it may not be in time for our next drop

129
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: on Wednesday one.

130
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Well, make sure you get Miranda Devine's latest book, The

131
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Big Guy. She's written the best books on Joe Biden.

132
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: The Big Guy is a huge best seller. What do

133
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: you think, What do you think Joe Biden will be

134
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: in the next year, just still sitting there in Delaware

135
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: doing nothing. Well, we want to know.

136
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: Obviously their grifts by nature and explains Joe Biden's book.

137
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: But I don't know. He seems like when he's allowed out,

138
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: he reminds us of who he is. And he gave

139
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: a speech the other day in which he told everyone

140
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: that he's smarter than all of you, and he's always

141
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: been smarter, and everyone thought that he wasn't smart because

142
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: he had a stutter, but actually hid his genius. I

143
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: don't know why he was talking about that, but that's him.

144
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: It's all about Joe Biden. So I think until his

145
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: dying breath, he will be lying for America and self

146
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: aggrandizing and telling tall tales.

147
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: And flying commercial all the time. He's the only president

148
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: can't seem to borrow a plane from anybody. He always

149
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: flying commercial. It's pretty embarrassing.

150
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think I think the Democrat donors

151
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: were furious about the twenty four election with both Joe

152
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: Biden and Kamala Harris. And Joe Biden saddled the Democrat

153
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Party with Kamala Harris because he promised Jim Kliburn and

154
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: another that he would appoint a woman of color as

155
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: his VP. And he did that, and he chose probably

156
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: the stupidest woman of color he could have found in
