1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday, seven twenty. You know what that means, Truth or Troll.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Take it away, Mike.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: And Now America's favorite game show where you get to

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: decide on the Kuna Report.

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: This is Truth or Troll.

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: Today's entry for truth Control comes from President Trump speaking

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: to reporters in the Oval Office yesterday when he was

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: asked about the plans for his presidential library, which will

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: be built in downtown Miami.

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: There's a post.

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 4: A photo of what will be the Trump Presidential Library.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: It's a huge skyscraper in Miami.

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: Is that all a library?

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 5: What else is going on there?

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 6: Well, it's a library, it's a museum or library. It's

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 6: a presidential But I wouldn't start it till I'm out

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 6: of office. I don't believe in building libraries or museums.

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 6: It's really like they brought Hussey and Obama won in

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 6: Chicago and not a good location, and it's a very

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 6: unattractive building that's seriously late and seriously over budget. I

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 6: think you're going to see a great one here and

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 6: it'll go up on time, on budget, best location in Miami, best,

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 6: they say, it's the best block in Miami, in the state. No,

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 6: it's going to be most likely a hotel. You know,

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 6: this concept could be office, but it's most likely going

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 6: to be a hotel with a beautiful building underneath and

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 6: a seven forty seven Air Force one in the lobby,

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 6: which is going to be a trick.

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: Getting a plane in the lobby would be a hell

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: of a trick. But there it is. He says it's

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: going to be a hotel. Is he telling the truth

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: or is he trolley?

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 6: No?

34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: I think he's telling the truth.

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: It's very on brand for him.

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 7: It's just you know, with him, it's always the best,

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 7: the biggest. I mean, who else would turn a presidential

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 7: library slash museum into a hotel. And notice, you know,

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 7: the best property, the best location in Miami. It's where

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 7: the guy cracks me up, you know. And then the

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 7: seven forty seven. I don't know how they're gonna stick

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 7: that in there, but he'll he'll find a way. And notice, Mike,

43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 7: even with the Presidential Library, he finds a way to

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 7: make money, you know what I mean. You know, it's like, no, no,

45
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 7: people are gonna be staying. They're gonna be paying top dollar.

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: Well maybe after they build this skyscraper hotel library thing,

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: they'll probably knock down, other buildings around it, build a

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: golf course around it.

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 7: Che ching, che ching, chet ching. I gotta say, he

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 7: always finds a way to make money. It's unbelievable. Uh really,

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 7: I gotta say he really is a businessman at heart,

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 7: consummate businessman. So no, I mean, I don't think he's trolling.

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 7: Maybe a little, you know, I know the libs are

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 7: going crazy, how.

55
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Tal how Dario A. But no, I think he's telling

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: the truth. He's going for the gold.

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 6: No.

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 7: Well there, yeah, he built a prison. This guy's building

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 7: a hotel. That there's the difference in the two presidency Sandy, Okay,

60
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 7: that's just me. I want to hear from you. President

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,680

Speaker 7: a hotel, a beautiful hotel in the one of the

Speaker 7: best parts of Miami. A. Is he telling the truth? B?

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,640

00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 7: my friend? He says, we're the war is going to

80
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 7: end definitively two to three weeks. He may not even

81
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 7: reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and he'll be addressing the

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 7: country tonight.

83
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: He says.

84
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 7: The goal of the war was to prevent the Mullahs

85
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 7: from getting the nuclear bomb. He says their nuclear program

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 7: has been utterly obliterated. Mission accomplished.

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: What say you?

88
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 9: But the serious note, why is it we got all

89
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 9: these countries we shelled out to and help them out

90
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 9: all the time, and at the same time when we

91
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 9: need a little bit of help just to get some

92
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 9: of the edge off, nobody wants to do anything.

93
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 10: And Jeff, especially Italy and all that, we've been backing

94
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 10: them up, like you.

95
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 9: Said, from World War one, world War twelve, since the

96
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 9: days of the Battle of the Bouch ever, it's like

97
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 9: it's not right, Jeff.

98
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

99
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 9: Basically, Jeff, let me give you a quotation from a

100
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 9: movie from Cool here and Luke, what.

101
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 10: We have had that's a failure to commit a case.

102
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I gotta say, Dave, Dave, can you

103
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 7: can you hold on him up against the break? So

104
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 7: I'm gonna take you on the other side.

105
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 10: Dave.

106
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 7: You know, you made the point, and I thought it

107
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 7: was a very good point that here, you know, we've

108
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 7: been there for Italy and all these other countries in Europe,

109
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 7: going all the way back to World War One, and

110
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 7: now when we need them suddenly it's not their war. Well,

111
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 7: you know, and Georgia Maloney, as I pointed out previously,

112
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 7: the Prime Minister of Italy in the Italian Parliament, said,

113
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 7: you know, basically, speaking to Trump in the United States,

114
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 7: you started this war with Iran, and now you want

115
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 7: us to clean up your mess in the Strait of Hormuse,

116
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 7: you clean up your mess. Okay, Well, I understand their

117
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 7: point of view. I get it, but you know, we

118
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 7: didn't start the war in World War One, we didn't

119
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 7: start the war in World War Two. Our response wasn't

120
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 7: you know, we could have easily said hey, we didn't

121
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 7: start the war, you clean up your mess. But we

122
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 7: didn't do that, did we. And again and again and

123
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 7: again whenever the Europeans need us, we're there. I mentioned Ukraine,

124
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 7: we could have said, hey, we didn't start that war.

125
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 7: It's in your backyard. It's not our backyard. You clean

126
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 7: up the mess. So this is what I don't like

127
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 7: about the Europeans, all of them, every single one of

128
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 7: their governments.

129
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: I can't stand that about them.

130
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 7: They think that we owe it to them to defend

131
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 7: and protect them to the cost of trillions of dollars

132
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 7: born by us the taxpayer, the American taxpayer. And then

133
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 7: when we ask them whether they agree or disagree, it

134
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 7: doesn't matter, you know, let's just take it out of

135
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 7: the diplomacy range. If I'm your friend or family member,

136
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 7: and I've been bailing you out decade after decade after

137
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 7: decade after decade, and I have spent a fortune protecting

138
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 7: you and defending you, and now I get into a

139
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 7: quarrel or a fight with somebody and I say, hey,

140
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 7: could you help me out a little bit. I don't

141
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 7: expect you to turn around and say, well, you know,

142
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 7: to be honest, I don't really agree with what you did,

143
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 7: or I don't agree, you know, I don't think you're

144
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 7: right in this fight with your you know, with one

145
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 7: of your neighbors.

146
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you kidding me?

147
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 7: After everything I've done for you, now all of a sudden,

148
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 7: when I'm asking you to hey, you know what, I've

149
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 7: been scratching your back for?

150
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: How long? Can you scratch mine a little bit?

151
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 9: Here?

152
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 7: I need your help suddenly? Now it's not your fight.

153
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 7: Let me tell you what I would conclude. You're a

154
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 7: false friend when you need me. I'm always there for you,

155
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 7: no matter what, when I need you. All of a sudden, No,

156
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 7: it's not your quarrel, it's not your fight. Well, you

157
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 7: know what, we're not friends and you're not going to

158
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 7: use me anymore. And honestly, I would look at myself

159
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 7: and say, you.

160
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Know, I got played. I think that to me, we've

161
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: got it all wrong.

162
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 7: We're looking from a different point, different from a different

163
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 7: a wrong pair of lens, or or from a different

164
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 7: wrong perspective. We have to ask ourselves why did we

165
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 7: allow ourselves to be fleeced like this? We got played.

166
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 7: We were not Uncle Sam, we were Uncle Sucker. And

167
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 7: they humor us, and they flatter us, the Europeans, and go, oh,

168
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 7: you're the indispensable nation. Ah, we love you, Oh you

169
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 7: my god, the way you protect us, you're the best year.

170
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 7: And they're just been flattering our ego. But in reality,

171
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 7: what did we ever get for it?

172
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Nothing?

173
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 7: And trillions and literally twenty trillion dollars is what we

174
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 7: spent on NATO, twenty trillion over the years, twenty trillion.

175
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 7: We're forty trillion dollars in the hole. You think the

176
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 7: Europeans are going to say, you know, if things go

177
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 7: very bad here financially, oh, you helped us out so much,

178
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 7: We're gonna give you some money. We're gonna, you know whatever,

179
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 7: lend you money or give you money. No, they're gonna say, hey,

180
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 7: you're on your own. So when we need help, we're

181
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 7: on our own. But when you need help or America, America,

182
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 7: come on America. So no, I'm with Trump. Friendship is

183
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 7: a two way street. If it's only a one way street,

184
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 7: it's not a friendship. You're being used, Dave, Am I

185
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 7: right or am I wrong?

186
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: What?

187
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: Say you? My friend?

188
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 10: Good? For everything? I get saying it? Beflod War one.

189
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 10: We've been there and everything else ever static it's crazy

190
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 10: because that it took place, the battle with a pouch.

191
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 10: We were there, so Germany want to do what they

192
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 10: were trying to do all the way back to that

193
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 10: and everybody else chess and then it's like, if we

194
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 10: need ten cents, they're gonna give us a penny. They

195
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 10: won't even give us a penny. And Jeff is totally ridiculous.

196
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 10: We're the ones being food all the time checks. I mean,

197
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 10: you know, the old saint, you might as well just

198
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 10: bend over. And it's like that's all I see it,

199
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 10: and it's it's it's not even right. And as far

200
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 10: as the pass war with Ukraine and everything, we know,

201
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 10: Biden's started a whole thing. If Biden would just shut

202
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 10: us bout there all the time to Ukraine, war wouldn't

203
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 10: even been going on. And then we gets Zelenski sucking

204
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 10: us out of a bunch of money and he's jerking

205
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 10: it around everybody else over there and giving it away

206
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 10: whoever has got to give it to the people that

207
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 10: have got no place either live anymore because of the

208
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 10: stupid woman to pay that bank started.

209
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: And you see it on TV all the time with

210
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: the commercials these Steven got nowhere to go. People are stabbing.

211
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 4: He gets the Christian the Christian.

212
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 10: Food Fund over there. Got to ask us for money

213
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 10: all the time because nobody would do anything.

214
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: And that's all because buying it did to you break

215
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 4: The commercials are on TV any other Howard Yet.

216
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 7: Oh I did you're You're a thousand percent, not one hundred,

217
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 7: You're a thousand percent.

218
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: Correct.

219
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 7: It's always money for Ukraine, more money for Ukraine. Uh,

220
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 7: you know, it just it doesn't end. And so I think, look,

221
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 7: we have to ask ourselves, do we want to be

222
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 7: the world's policeman? Because that's what it is, really, is

223
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 7: that what we want Do we want to be the

224
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 7: global cop Is that what our founding fathers intended for

225
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 7: this country? Is that what a republic should be involved in.

226
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 7: I mean, and and by the way, it's not even

227
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 7: just NATO, it's we defend I mean, we're on the

228
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 7: hook for almost any You look at the number of

229
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 7: countries we have to defend Japan, we have to defend

230
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 7: South Korea, we have to defend these islands in the Pacific,

231
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 7: we have to defend the Philippines. We're going to defend Taiwan,

232
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 7: in case they get into a war with China. We

233
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 7: have to defend all of Europe, we have to defend Canada,

234
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 7: and I could just go on and on. We have

235
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 7: security guarantees to over one hundred countries around the world.

236
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 7: One hundred countries. How many people have security guarantees to

237
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 7: us that will actually back them up? So you have

238
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 7: to ask yourself, I mean, this is a recipe for

239
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 7: perpetual war. And notice the politicians who make these deals.

240
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 7: When Lindsey Graham runs off to Ukraine, or that clown

241
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 7: Chris Murphy or you know, Mark Warner or all these

242
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 7: other idiots that run off to Ukraine, Notice they always

243
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 7: want to send our sons and daughters. They never want

244
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 7: to send theirs. The politicians Chuck Schumer will never send

245
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 7: his kids into war, but they'll send our kids into war.

246
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 7: Lindsey Graham has no kids to send to war, but

247
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 7: he's eager to send our kids to war. As a country,

248
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 7: we have to say enough is enough? Agree disagree? Six

249
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 7: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Andy

250
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 7: in Milford, Thanks for holding Andy, and.

251
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: Welcome good morning, Jeff.

252
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: Andy.

253
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: Hey, Jeff, the one one thing I mean, You've got

254
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: you've got the war in Ukraine, you've got the war

255
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: in Iran, constant geopolitical issues. I've really been coming aware

256
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 5: over time that there is a whole different lens through

257
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 5: which we've got to go about determining what is right

258
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 5: and what is wrong with all of this, Because a

259
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: lot of it is okay, does it, does it or

260
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 5: does it not help Israel? Does it or does it

261
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: not help this country? And all these geopolitical questions. That's

262
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 5: completely the wrong the wrong lens through which to determine

263
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 5: all of this. The lens we really need to be

264
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: looking through to determine what is right or what is wrong?

265
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 5: Is what does and what does not add value to

266
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 5: our citizenship here in the United States as Americans now,

267
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: with the Ukraine War, I think it's a no brainer.

268
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 5: There's absolutely nothing about it at all that adds to

269
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 5: the value of our own citizenship in our own country

270
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 5: as Americans. Matter of fact, there's a lot that actually

271
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: devalues our citizenship. Now you look at the twenty twenty

272
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: four presidential election. We all when we voted to return

273
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: President Trump to the White House, what do we vote for?

274
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: We voted for peace, and we voted for no more

275
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 5: forever wars, and we specifically voted for no more wars

276
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: in the Middle East. That's what we voted for. And

277
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 5: the problem is, I'm sorry, but this whole affair with Iran,

278
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 5: it seems like we've got something that's been diametrically opposed

279
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 5: to that.

280
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: Andy, can you do me a favor?

281
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 7: Hang on, I'm up against the break, but you're basically

282
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 7: I want to flesh out. I don't want to cut

283
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 7: you off, number one, and I want to just flesh

284
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 7: out your point. Okay. President Trump now will address the

285
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 7: nation tonight. It will be a televised national address at

286
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 7: nine pm Eastern. He is expected to announce that the

287
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 7: war will be over in two to three weeks. We

288
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 7: are leaving. He now believes we have achieved our primary

289
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 7: military objective, which is the obliteration of Iran's nuclear program

290
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 7: and its ability to get a nuclear weapon a nuclear bomb. However,

291
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 7: the Strait of Horn Moose remains blocked, and with it,

292
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 7: twenty percent of the world's oil and natural gas is

293
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 7: essentially now being prevented from going out to countries around

294
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 7: the world. Gas prices are high, oil is high. It

295
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 7: may even trigger a global recession. Trump now says, we

296
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 7: will not clear the Strait of Hormoose. He will now

297
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 7: he's going to ask the Europeans, the Gulf nations, Asian countries,

298
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 7: you rely on that oil, We don't you want it?

299
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 7: As you put it in a truth Social yesterday, you

300
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 7: go get it. So do you agree with the president

301
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 7: saying we've achieved our objective. The Mullahs will stay in power, obviously,

302
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 7: and they will now have control at least temporarily over

303
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 7: the Strait of Hormouse. And they are already telling the

304
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 7: world get ready to pay. It's going to be a

305
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 7: tolling system. You want to get a tanker through, or

306
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 7: your cargo or whatever it may be, you're going to

307
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 7: have to pay. And Iran is expecting now to get

308
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 7: billions of dollars every single month, and they are going

309
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 7: to build up their war chest very quickly. They want

310
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 7: to rebuild their country, but they also want to rebuild

311
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:53,000

00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 7: Tit for Tat. Okay, Andy, you are making the point

324
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 7: that Trump campaigned and won the election in twenty twenty

325
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 7: four on a seminal promise of no new wars, and

326
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 7: especially no more wars in the Middle East, And you said,

327
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 7: we're looking at everything from the wrong lens. We need

328
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 7: to start looking at things through a different lens. Please

329
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 7: pick up where you left off, Andy.

330
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 5: Hey, Okay, Jeff, that that again, that different lens is Okay?

331
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 5: What is going to add value to our citizenship and

332
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 5: our own country as Americans.

333
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 9: That's the lens.

334
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 5: Through which we got to start looking at all of this.

335
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 5: And I mean, I did not agree with this war

336
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 5: in Iran. And you were asking earlier in the program,

337
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: was was it worth it? I think in order to

338
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 5: answer that question, will it eventually lead to a lasting

339
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 5: peace in the Middle East? Should the answer to that

340
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 5: question be yes, I think you can say yes, it

341
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 5: was worth it.

342
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 9: Now.

343
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: Could did you make the case that a lasting peace

344
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: in the Middle East would add value to our citizenship

345
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 5: in our own country as Americans? Yes, I think you

346
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 5: could make that case. But I mean, that's the lens Jeff,

347
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 5: through which we've got to judge all of this. And remember, Jeff,

348
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 5: the last presidential election, it wasn't just a win. It

349
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 5: was a popular vote mandate, it was an electoral mandate.

350
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 5: It was a mandate in terms of all the swing

351
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 5: states being carried. And and I think, Jeff, that President

352
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 5: Trump needs to wrap up and get out of this

353
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: before it becomes American boots on the ground. And I mean,

354
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 5: I know that not all of the options here are perfect.

355
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 10: But.

356
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 5: If it becomes American boots on the ground, we're going

357
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: to be there a while and that's definitely not what

358
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 5: we voted for now, Jeff. In the Ukraine War, you

359
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 5: can remember, just in President Trump's negotiations with Zolenski, there

360
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 5: was one point where President Trump put something solid on

361
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: the table and he was like take it or leave

362
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 5: it with Lewinsky with Yeah, he was just he was

363
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 5: going to walk away.

364
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 9: That was going to be it.

365
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 5: And what happened Senator Lindsay Graham went going over there

366
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 5: on a mission on his own, and he inserted himself

367
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 5: and the thing just dragged on. And this is the

368
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: very important point, Jeff. None of us signed up for

369
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 5: Senator lyn Lindsey Graham to be run in this country's

370
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 5: foreign policy, but unfortunately it appears in many respects that

371
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 5: is what has happened here.

372
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 7: Well, I think no, Andy, I'm very happy you mentioned

373
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 7: this because in private, Trump is fuming this is now

374
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 7: being widely reported. He is really teed off at Lindsey

375
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 7: Graham because one of the people that really sold him

376
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 7: hard on this war with Iran was Lindsay and Lindsey Graham,

377
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 7: as you know, he's a warmonger. I mean, I think

378
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 7: he's crazy. I would be really honest with you. He's

379
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 7: not right in the head, the way he talks about war,

380
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 7: the way you can almost tell on his face like

381
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 7: he's getting off on it, and he always wants to

382
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 7: send boots on the ground our troops. The bigger the war,

383
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 7: the better he wants war with Russia, he wants war

384
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 7: with China, he wants war with Iran, he wants war

385
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 7: with Venezuela. He just wants.

386
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: War, war, war, war. He loved the war.

387
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 7: In Iraq Kim and McCain was saying we should be

388
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 7: there one hundred years. He loved the war in Afghanistan.

389
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 7: And apparently he's been in the situation room. And apparently

390
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 7: he's been in the situation room now so often that

391
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 7: people in Trump's inner circle are saying, get this guy

392
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 7: out of there, because every time we try to give

393
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 7: you an option that is not you know, boots on

394
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 7: the ground or escalating the war into a wider, potential

395
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 7: regional war, he keeps shooting it down, and he keeps

396
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 7: giving you false promises that this thing is going to

397
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 7: be over tomorrow. So with Lindsey Graham, I'll tell you

398
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 7: exactly what happened. Lindsey Graham. I'm just going now by

399
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 7: the Wall Street Journal, and this was not refuted by

400
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 7: the administration, and it certainly wasn't refuted by Lindsay Graham.

401
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 7: Lindsey Graham, before the war with Iran began, went to

402
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 7: Israel along with General Jack Keen, he's a commentator on

403
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 7: Fox arch neo conservative, along with this columnist for the

404
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 7: Washington Post. He's a neocon. Frankly, he's a dry boring writer.

405
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 7: I couldn't believe it, but anyway, that he was actually

406
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 7: involved in this. But Mark Teeson dry boring. He's just

407
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 7: a run of the mill neocon, A former Bush George W.

408
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 7: Bush speech writer, one of the big architects of the

409
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 7: war in Iraq. So they went to Israel and they

410
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 7: said to Bb net Niyahu, what is it going to

411
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 7: take to blow the Mullahs into the smithereens? And so

412
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 7: bb spoke to Lindsey Graham and to Keene and to

413
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 7: Mark Teeson, and they said, we've got to do a

414
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 7: regime change war. And Lindsey Graham literally was coaching Net

415
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 7: to Nyahu on how to sell the Iran operation to

416
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 7: Trump to effectively to manipulate Trump. Talk like this, don't

417
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 7: talk like this, mention this, but don't mention that. So

418
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 7: Lindsey Graham was the really the lynchpin in all of this. Well,

419
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 7: what did Lindsey Graham and Jack Keen and Mark Tieson

420
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 7: tell Trump? They said, this thing will be over in

421
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 7: ten days. You say, four to six weeks, but you

422
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 7: over promise, you don't. You under promise and you over deliver.

423
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 7: So you say four to six weeks. But we're telling you,

424
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 7: mister President, you kick that door down an iron, and

425
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 7: that whole regime is gonna come crashing down. And so

426
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 7: they said to him, trust us, we've got we're telling

427
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 7: you the moolahs are.

428
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 1: Ripe to fall.

429
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 7: Now the generals around Trump, the Joint Chief said to Trump,

430
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 7: they're gonna block the straight of hormouse. We've wargameed this

431
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 7: now for twenty five years. You attack Iran, they are

432
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 7: gonna block the strait of hormoose. Oil and gas is

433
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 7: gonna soar, and you're gonna see gas prices explode. You're

434
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 7: gonna see the entire world economy go a risk and

435
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 7: an inflation and a recession. So just be ready for this.

436
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 7: Lindsey's answer was along with that clown Jackeen, Okay, General Jackeen.

437
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: Was don't you worry.

438
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 7: We'll hit him so hard so fast that they're gonna

439
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 7: cry uncle before they can even dare to block the

440
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 7: strait of hormoose. So they promised the president a lightning war,

441
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 7: a cake walk over it with decisive, devastating air and

442
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 7: missile and sea power, and that this would bring the

443
00:27:53,720 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 7: Iranian Iatolis to heal and instead it's turned into mere

444
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 7: because the Strait of Hormus or blocked. The oil infrastructure

445
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 7: in the surrounding Gulf nations have been hit hard, so

446
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 7: oil is.

447
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: Going up and up and up.

448
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 7: And the Mullahs had deeper roots and had more a

449
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 7: stating power than was originally told to the president. In fact, now,

450
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 7: just so let you know, the Israeli media is reporting

451
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 7: that Mosad has concluded that Israeli intelligence has concluded that

452
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 7: it'll take at least another year of fighting to overthrow

453
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 7: the Iyatolas to overthrow the regime, that it's much more

454
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 7: entrenched than they possibly thought before the war. So our

455
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 7: intelligence agencies miscalculated again. And when Trump heard another year,

456
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 7: he was, what are you guys crazy? No, no, no, no,

457
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 7: we gave a four to six week timeline. I'm sticking

458
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 7: to the four to six week timeline. The nuclear program

459
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 7: is shattered, it's gone, it's been obliterated, and adios. I'm

460
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 7: out of here because the Democrats are gonna slaughter me

461
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 7: in November. But just to know, the man I blame

462
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 7: for what has happened over the last four or five

463
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 7: weeks is Lindsey Graham. He was wrong again again. He

464
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 7: told the Ukrainians fight, the Russian army will collapse. That

465
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 7: was four years ago. Hey, I can go on and on.

466
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 7: He's the one that said Iraq would be a cakewalk.

467
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 7: He's another one toppel Saiddam and then freedom will just

468
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 7: emerge in Iraq. He said the same thing to Trump,

469
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 7: we'll have freedom in Iran. You just bomb seven days,

470
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 7: ten days, and the people will go out onto the

471
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 7: streets and they'll be chanting Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. And

472
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 7: of course that didn't happen. So now the president is

473
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 7: trying to extricate himself from.

474
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: A war that the warmonger sold them on.

475
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 7: Now is Iran militarily dismantled and crippled?

476
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: Yes? Was much of the regime decapitated? Yes? Their nuclear program?

477
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: Is it wiped out? No question.

478
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 7: So the president can say I have concrete victories here.

479
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 7: But let's be honest, there is no regime change. They

480
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 7: can spin it any way. They want the IRCG, the IRGC,

481
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 7: forgive me. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is still in power.

482
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 7: The clerics are still running Iran. They're now in control

483
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 7: of the Strait of Hormouse, which they were before the war,

484
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 7: and the region has been badly destabilized. And the problem,

485
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 7: and I'm telling you this is what I fear if

486
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 7: the Straight of for Moose remains blocked, and if the

487
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 7: other Gulf nations their oil infrastructure is not rebuilt quickly.

488
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 7: Because remember, now you're gonna have a shortage of supply.

489
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 7: Oil prices are gonna stay high for months and months

490
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 7: and months. It's going to stay at one hundred bucks

491
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 7: a barrel for several months. That means you're gonna have

492
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 7: a resurgence in inflation. You're gonna have high gas prices

493
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 7: heading into the midterms. And all the Democrats have to say,

494
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 7: and I know it's disingenuous, I know the Democrats caused

495
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 7: all of this inflation. But they're going to turn around

496
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 7: and say Trump promised no new wars, he gave us

497
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 7: a war, Trump said low gas prices. Gas prices are high,

498
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 7: Trump said he would pain inflation. Inflation is now roaring

499
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 7: back because the other problem with the Strait of Hormuz

500
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 7: just very quickly, a third of the world's fertilizer goes

501
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 7: through the strait of hormoose. Our farmers, for example, rely

502
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 7: on fertilizer to grow our food crops. That means food.

503
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 7: It's already happening. Food is going to cost might be

504
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 7: much more expensive. So it's not just higher prices at

505
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 7: the pump, higher inflation, higher energy costs. You're going to

506
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 7: be paying more for groceries and for food. Now Trump

507
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 7: knows this. I'm not saying anything that the President doesn't know,

508
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 7: and that's why and his people, led by Susie Wiles,

509
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 7: are showing him pole after pole after pole, and the

510
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 7: numbers are brutal on this war. He's on water. On

511
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 7: the economy, which should be his strongest suit. He's way

512
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 7: underwater on inflation. He's underwater. I'm not saying whether objectively

513
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 7: you should blame him or not. What I'm saying is

514
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 7: he's looking at the polls and he's saying, we're looking

515
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 7: at losing the House and now the Senate, and if

516
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 7: I lose the House and the Senate, I'm going to

517
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 7: be impeached and impeached and impeached and impeached until they

518
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 7: practically drive me out of office. That's why he's been

519
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 7: saying now for two weeks. The war's coming to an end.

520
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 7: The war's coming to an end. The war's coming to

521
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 7: an end. He wants to reassure the stock market, but

522
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 7: he also wants to reassure his supporters, like, hey, hold on,

523
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 7: hold on, it's going to relax.

524
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: We're going to.

525
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 7: Focus on domestic issues, because if this thing keeps going

526
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 7: on and on, it's going to be an absolute slaughter

527
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 7: in November. And that's why he's now told his aides,

528
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 7: I'm giving this two more weeks and that's it. After

529
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 7: two weeks, I'm out. If Israel wants to continue, that's

530
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 7: their business. But as far as I'm concerned, all our

531
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 7: forces are coming back. We're leaving Iran mission accomplished. So

532
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 7: we'll see. Now he can't lose the midterms. I've been

533
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 7: saying this now for otto since the war began, and

534
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 7: he's going to have another problem. Mark my words. There's

535
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 7: going to be an investigation when this war is over.

536
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 7: The American people are going to want to know what

537
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 7: was the intelligence that made you and Lindsey Graham and

538
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 7: everybody around you say that Iran was quote unquote an

539
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 7: imminent threat. I know they're a threat. They've been a

540
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 7: threat for forty seven years. But that's not what imminent means.

541
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 7: Imminent means now, like now, we have to move now, now, now, now,

542
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 7: we can't wait, We can't wait another day. If they

543
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 7: don't come up with credible evidence, I'm telling you, Trump's

544
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 7: going to be in big trouble, big trouble. And that's

545
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 7: the last thing I want to see. So the neo

546
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 7: cons wanted this war, and they got their war, and

547
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 7: I hope for them it's worth it. What I find

548
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 7: incredible is now they're starting to turn on Trump. Now,

549
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 7: they're blaming him, saying you should go all the way

550
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 7: for regime change. Basically to hell with the midterms. If

551
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 7: it takes another month, if it takes another two months,

552
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 7: if it takes another three months, march into Tehran, do

553
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 7: whatever you got to do. And Trump is basically saying, no, no, no, no,

554
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 7: I'm not going to see I'm not going to become

555
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 7: another George W.

556
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: Bush.

557
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 7: That's his fear now and have a Middle East war,

558
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 7: consume my entire presidency, because remember it was the Iraq

559
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 7: war that gave us Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in

560
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 7: two thousand and six. That's when Harry Reid became Senate

561
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 7: Majority Leader, Pelosi became House Speaker, and George W. Bush's

562
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 7: presidency was finished, finished, and that literally paved the way

563
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 7: for Obama in two thousand and eight. So Trump is

564
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 7: not a stupid man, and that's why he's telling his people.

565
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 7: He's told his aides, I don't care. I don't even

566
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 7: hear it anymore. Two more weeks and we're out. Steve

567
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 7: in Boca Raton, Florida. Thanks for holding Steve and welcome.

568
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 8: Yeah. I always tell you you're number one. Now let me

569
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 8: I'm gonna get to my point in a second. But

570
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 8: you know, it's funny they always hold Donald Trump to

571
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 8: a different standard. Nobody investigated weapons of mass destruction with

572
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 8: George Bush. This is not my point. This is not

573
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 8: my point. Here's my point. NATO is yesterday's news. It's

574
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 8: all let's look out. Ten years from now, England is

575
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 8: going to fall to the Muslims. They will have access

576
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 8: to nuclear power. France will probably fall to the Muslims.

577
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 8: They will have access to nuclear power. Here's my suggestion.

578
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 8: The bigger, the bigger issue we've got is that. And

579
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 8: forgive me the Muslims and the threat of Sharia law

580
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 8: in this country and around the world. What needs to

581
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 8: be done is we need to leave NATO, form a

582
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 8: new alliance with Romania, with Poland, with Israel, with the

583
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 8: Middle East countries, and last, but not least, and let

584
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 8: me make my point.

585
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 7: Russia, Steve, please, I'm not cutting you off.

586
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: We're up against a break
