Jake Coleman from America's for Prosperity, 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 3: we'll be joining us at seven point thirty. In between 7 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 3: we will play for you a bounty of audio from 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 3: that House Committee hearing. We'reing Governor Tim Walls and Keith 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 3: Ellison testified some rather interesting exchanges. I'll share with you 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 3: my expectations, as little as they are, of what the 11 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: consequences of this hearing will be. Well, of course, hear 12 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 3: from you throughout the show this morning. We have some 13 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 3: fraud talk that we need to dive into. We'll get 14 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: updated on the legislative session. A lot of ground to 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 3: cover today on a Thursday. My name is John Justice. 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 3: In the Master Control booth. To my right is Devin. 17 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: Thankfully he pulled all of that audio, of which required 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 3: two separate pages worth a lot of it this morning. 19 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 3: I want to start off here, though I haven't talked 20 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: about the Supreme Court arguing over the ability of those 21 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 3: that keep and bear arms who use marijuana and whether 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 3: or not that's legal. We'll get to this in just 23 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: a moment, but I want to share with you details 24 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: on that story. This story from WSVN out of Utah 25 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: in my hands. I just thought it was interesting because 26 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: Justice Neil gorshisch in the Supreme Court oral arguments, he 27 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: references our founding fathers and how they were habitual drunkards, 28 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 3: and it's some really fascinating details. 29 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: I had no idea like this. 30 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 3: If you are a casual alcoholic beverage drinker, the details 31 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: that I'll share with you from this Foxy New story 32 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 3: of the Supreme Court oral arguments are really going to 33 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: make you feel better about the amount of alcohol that 34 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: you consume, if you're indeed concerned at all about the 35 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 3: amount of alcohol that you consume. However, regarding alcohol, archaeologists 36 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: in Utah made a boozy discovery. The crew was digging 37 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 3: in the mining town of Alta when they unearthed a 38 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty year old bottle of alcohol. The 39 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 3: bottle was still corked, dating between eighteen seventy and eighteen ninety, 40 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: according to officials, So what have they decided to do? 41 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 3: They decided to drink it. Crews call the local distillery. 42 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: They used a needle to extract the liquid for sampling. 43 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: This is like pulling the DNA out of the Jurassic 44 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: insect stuck in the amber in Jurassic Park. And what 45 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 3: was their reaction is that it that wasn't too bad. 46 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: This sounds like it could be a superhero or super 47 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: villain origin story in the making. Maybe this is how 48 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: you create Captain Morgan. Captain Morgan, you know, thirst is legendary, 49 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: and perhaps it becomes legendary by drinking a one and 50 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: fifty year old bottle of alcohol. I think this is 51 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: a fantastic idea. They said they sensed dried fruit notes, 52 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: there's a little bit of vinegar in it, but surprisingly, 53 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 3: I think it held up after being in a bottle 54 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: for over one hundred and fifty years, said Isaac Winter, 55 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: who tasted the drink. 56 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: And then subsequently died. I'm just kidding. 57 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: The team was also able to dig up several other artifacts, 58 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: including a mining hat, bullets, shot glasses. Maybe this is 59 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: more how Indiana modern day Indiana Jones gets created, and 60 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: I know they want to reboot the franchise. Officials suspected 61 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: the drink was some sort of sherry or beer and 62 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: plan more tests to pin down what it was. They 63 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: better keep it locked up, because you know, this is 64 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: one of those circumstances where like the night Crew comes 65 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 3: into clean. 66 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: And like, oh look some alcohol, cool, I'll try this out. 67 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: I had a similar experience to what they went through 68 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: in Utah, although not as much at distance. Going back 69 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: to the re release of Zemo, I think that was 70 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: what twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. I had purchased a couple 71 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: of cases, but I had set a few six packs 72 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 3: aside to save, and I think I waited about eighteen 73 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: months before I went and dove back into it. 74 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't very good. It didn't. It didn't. It 75 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: didn't didn't. 76 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: It didn't keep for it didn't keep for very long. 77 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 3: Brave Souls. I assume they must have run some tests 78 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: on this before. I mean, you had you had to. 79 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: You had to put it through some sort of filter 80 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 3: just to make sure that it hadn't developed into something 81 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: that could have been. 82 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: Deadly. Brave Souls. 83 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 3: Justice Neil Gorshich spent a portion of the Supreme Courts 84 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: or oral arguments this week speaking of alcohol, exploring what 85 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 3: a doing that thing with my fingers. Habitual drunkard is 86 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 3: as part of a case that centered on whether a 87 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 3: drug user is allowed to own a gun. Jumping ahead 88 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 3: in the story, by the way, the National Rifle Association, 89 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: the NRA, and the Gun on His of America. Also, 90 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: I believe the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus both support the 91 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 3: Texas man who's been charged by the FBI after it 92 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: was discovered that he possessed a handgun and smoked marijuana 93 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: every day. But Gorsuch questioned the DOJ's lawyer on how 94 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: gun restrictions for habitual drunkards in early American history compared 95 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: to today's law restricting drug users and owning guns. The 96 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: DOJ was required to point to a strong historical comparison 97 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: to provide the modern law was constitutional, and chose to 98 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: use the founding era laws about habitual drunkers. So I 99 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: want to share with you some of the some of 100 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: the details that were revealed in this Supreme Court to 101 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: oral argument hearing, because I was not and I'm sure 102 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: this is probably very well known regarding our founding fathers. 103 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: I know there was a whole comedy channel was d 104 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: or a whole series drunk History. I don't know this 105 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: was a part of it, but some of the details 106 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: laid out about the drinking habits of the founding fathers 107 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 3: I found really really interesting. 108 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: You're fascinating to talk to, so I'll give you details 109 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: on this coming up in just a moment. 110 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 3: The US is winning decisively against Iran in Operation Epic Fury. 111 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: I have some. 112 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: Awesome clips to share with you from Marco Rubio one 113 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: going back to twenty fifteen, where he succinctly in twenty 114 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: fifteen laid out what was going to happen with. 115 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: Iran based off of the. 116 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: Moves that were being made at the time, and you 117 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: compare that to what's happening now, and he was spot on. 118 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: He also lays out more justification as to why the 119 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: operation exists in the first place. Details on that coming up. 120 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: Of course, we will dive into how, according to Representative 121 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 3: Comer Walls, Ellison turned a blind to the alleged Minnesota fraud. 122 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: I have a lot of audio to share from that 123 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: committee hearing yesterday, and of course we'll hear from you 124 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: throughout the show this morning.

Archaeologists in Utah found a still coarked 132 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: bottle of alcohol they believe was some sort of sherry 133 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: or beer dated between eighteen seventy and eighteen ninety, one 134 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty years old. So one of the crews 135 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 3: of the local distillery do and I suppose these guys 136 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: are experts, right. They used a needle, they extracted the liquid, 137 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 3: and then they drank it. Said that it surprisingly held up. 138 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: What kind of you buzz do you get from one 139 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty year old alcohol. Let's go to the 140 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: iHeart Radio app before we dive into the Supreme courtal 141 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: oral arguments relating to the drunkards that apparently were our 142 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: founding fathers. 143 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 4: Good morning John. 144 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 5: When it comes to that bottle of lequor, have you 145 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 5: ever seen the movie Leviabo? Yes, yeah, I don't think 146 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 5: I'm taking a swig off any liquor that I don't 147 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 5: know precisely where it came from. 148 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 3: I'm so glad you brought that up because I knew 149 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 3: when I was writing my jokes. I mean, okay, listen, 150 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: it's a stretch to call those jokes. I did write 151 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: them down, though I didn't make notes my Captain Morgan, 152 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 3: this could be a superhero or villain story. I knew 153 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: I was drawing from something, and that's what I was 154 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 3: drawing from. I had just watched levi Oh within the 155 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: past year. That movie's in my wheelhouse because it was 156 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: part of three different films, the biggest one being The Abyss, 157 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 3: and my brother worked in special effects at the time. 158 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 2: Going back to the nineties, he worked on The Abyss. 159 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: I don't know if he worked on Leviathan, but I 160 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: know he worked on the other movie that was like it, 161 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: which was Deep Star six. So if you're ranking those 162 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 3: films in terms of quality, it starts with The Abyss, 163 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 3: then goes to Leviathan, which is really just sort of 164 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: a campy science fiction film, and then it gets even 165 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: camp here when it comes to Deep Star six. But 166 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: I'm glad that you brought that up because I knew 167 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: I was drawing upon something, and that's exactly what I 168 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: was drawing upon. Spoiler alert for that movie, they end 169 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 3: up finding a I think it's a bottle of Russian 170 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 3: vodka on board a ship and it ends up turning 171 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: him into an underseat creature.

Part of the case surrendering 177 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 3: a centered around a drug user and whether or not 178 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: they're allowed to own a gun. The DOJ, as I mentioned, 179 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: was required to point to a strong historical comparison to 180 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: prove the modern law was constitutional, and it shows the 181 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: Founding era laws about habitual drunkers. Gorsicic said, the American 182 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 3: Temperance Society back in the day, they said eight shots 183 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: of whiskey a day only made you an occasional drunkard. 184 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: Eight shots of whiskey a day. 185 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: The Conservative Justice also appointed to the Founding Father's drinking 186 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: habits to convey his skepticism about the DOJ's argument that 187 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: habitual drunkard was similar to a modern day drug user 188 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: and that both were worthy of being disarmed. Gorsuch said 189 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: John Adams took a tankard of hard cider with his 190 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 3: breakfast every day. James Madison reportedly drank a pine of 191 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 3: whiskey every day. Thomas Jefferson said he wasn't much of 192 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: a user of alcohol. He only had three or four 193 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 3: glasses of wine a night. 194 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: So here's the question that I have. 195 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: If anybody knows the answer, brought me a email Justice 196 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: at iHeartRadio dot com or leave a talkback on the 197 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app, Like what was the alcohol content back then? 198 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: For Like what was the percentage? 199 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 3: Like I have no baseline of which to even venture 200 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: a guess, Like we're the alcoholic beverages that I just 201 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: mentioned as strong as they are today and of potency. 202 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 3: If you know, leave a talkback. I know we have 203 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: a lot of smart friends of the show out there. 204 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: Or if you're a foe of the show and you 205 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: want to let me know the quality of alcohol and 206 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: how hard it was compared to what it is today. 207 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: Gorsch went on to say, are they habitual drunkards who 208 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 3: would be properly disarmed for life under your theory? 209 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,359 Speaker 2: So the case is us versus. 210 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 3: HALMANI centered on a Texas man who had been charged 211 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 3: after the FBI discovered he possessed a handgun and smoked 212 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 3: marijuana every day. The law at issue nine two to 213 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: two G three gained national attention under Biden's son Hunter, 214 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 3: who was convicted under it for possessing a gun in 215 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen while addicted to crack cocaine. 216 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: So that's an interesting note. 217 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 6: There's crack can make you act any differently? 218 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 2: Now? Is it shafer than alcohol? Probably? 219 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 3: The DOJ argue the man Ali Hamani or Hamiani illegally 220 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: owned the gun while a habitual user of marijuana, and 221 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: that he was rightfully charged for to the Second Amendment 222 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: advocates are closely watching the case, as I mentioned before, 223 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: the National Rifle Association and the Gun Owners of America, 224 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: and I do believe I need to look it up, 225 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: but I'm pretty sure the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus was 226 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 3: commenting on this as well in support of Hamioni, while 227 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: several Democratic states are backing the DOJ in the case, 228 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: setting up strange alliances in a test of what exceptions 229 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 3: to gun ownership are allowed by law. To a few 230 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 3: of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio this morning. 231 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: As a two ay supporter. 232 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 7: I guess I have no problem with people periodically smoking 233 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 7: a joint while owning a gun, since many people who 234 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 7: carry will enjoy a glass of wine with dinner. Problem 235 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 7: lies in the fact that there's no moderation with pod use. 236 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 7: It's all or nothing with the omnipresent stench of skunk weed. 237 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: It's ironic. 238 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 7: Many of my progressive friends have mysteriously discovered the Second 239 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 7: Amendment recently, even while remaining high ninety percent of the time. 240 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: That is untenable. Oh, I completely disagree with that. 241 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: There's absolutely moderation within THHC usage and levels of which 242 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 3: one can be inebriated using products containing THHC. It's not like, yeah, 243 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: there's varying degrees, just like there is with alcohol. Now 244 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: there's no good way to measure currently. This is one 245 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: of the difficulties of law enforcement's been coming under. But no, 246 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 3: I completely disagree with that there are absolutely varying degrees 247 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: of which an individual could be high, is what I'm 248 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: trying to say. 249 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: Puny John say. 250 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 8: I don't know if anybody else who's mentioned this yet 251 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 8: or not, but the active ingredient in alcohol is a 252 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 8: tox and that the yeese produces that actually writeses at 253 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 8: such a level it becomes toxic to other bacteria. And 254 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 8: it even eventually killed the east itself, which is why 255 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 8: wine can last for centuries. And that and she'll be 256 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 8: drinkable all right, thanks by. 257 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 3: A friend of the show, pack to the rescue.

And drinks are like rum 345 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 11: brandy and whiskey in the days of our founding fathers, 346 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 11: and the answer was forty five percent alcohol by volume, 347 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 11: which is ninety proof. 348 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 3: Okay, thank you for the updates, by the way, and 349 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 3: thank you to the foes of the show who apparently 350 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 3: are taking a thirty day sabbatical from the show, and 351 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 3: they're doing so by leaving talkbacks and telling me how 352 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: they're listening. 353 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: We won't miss you, but I appreciate the update. 354 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 3: Senate Republicans close ranks yesterday shooting down the resolution by 355 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 3: Senator Tim Kaine aimed at limiting Trump's military actions in Iran, 356 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 3: following days of speculation about whether Republicans would cross the 357 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 3: aisle as they have done before to reprimand. 358 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: As the president only. 359 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 3: Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky favored the resolution and voted 360 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 3: as such. Boy, he's been a disappointment, Senator John Fetterman 361 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 3: for the lone Democrat to cross the aisle in support. 362 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: What world are we living in? The Majority of voters 363 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 3: are backing Operation Epic Fury. However, that will not remain 364 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 3: if the operation goes on for too long a period 365 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 3: of time. Now, I want to address this coming up 366 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 3: in just a moment here on Twin City's News Talk. 367 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: But first I want to share with you a couple 368 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: of clips. Marco Rubio, who's just absolutely been stellar in 369 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: all of the press conferences that he's been conducting. 370 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: The entirety of the administration has been stellar on this. 371 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 3: But laying out specifically why we're in the middle of 372 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 3: this operation Pete Hegseth yesterday laying out in detail the 373 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 3: success of the operation so far. Again just so incredibly 374 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: proud of the right. Now, I do want to start 375 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 3: with a clip going back to twenty fifteen, however, from 376 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio. This was then Senator Rubio and resurfaced yesterday. 377 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 2: He called Iran's. 378 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 3: Playbook perfectly and this was eleven years ago. 379 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: Give a listen to this. Love this deal have already 380 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: been said. 381 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: I do want to be recorded for history's purposes before 382 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: I know what was going to happen in regards to this. 383 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 2: If it goes through, Iran. 384 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: Will immediately use the money that it's receiving and sanctioned 385 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: relief to begin to build up its conventional capabilities. 386 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: It will establish the. 387 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: Most dominant military power in the region outside of the 388 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: United States, and it will raise the price of US 389 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: operating in the region. 390 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: They're going to build anti. 391 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: Access capabilities, rockets capable of destroying aircraft carriers and ships, 392 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: continue to build these swift boats that are able to 393 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: come on us, these fast boats that are able to 394 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: swarm our naval assets, and they'll make it harder and 395 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: harder for. 396 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: US troops to be in the region. They'll also work. 397 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: With other terrorist groups in the region target American servicemen 398 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: and women, and they may or may not deny that 399 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: they're involved, but they will target us and raise the 400 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: price of our presence in the Middle East until they 401 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: hope to completely pull US out of that region. The 402 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: laws will continue to build long range missiles this was 403 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: capable of reaching the United States. Those are not affected 404 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: by the steal, and they will continue to build them 405 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: as they've been doing. And then at some point in 406 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: the near future, when the time is ripe, they will 407 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: build a nuclear weapon. And they will do so because 408 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: at that point they will know that they have become immune, 409 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: that we will no longer be able to strike their 410 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: nuclear program because the price of doing so will be 411 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: too high. This is not just the work of imagination. 412 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: It exists in the world today. It's called North Korea, 413 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: or a lunatic possesses dozens of nuclear weapons and a 414 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: long range rocket that can already reach the United States, 415 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: and we cannot do anything about it. An attack on 416 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: North Korea today would result in an attack on Tokyo 417 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: or Soul, or Guam, or Hawaii or California. And so 418 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: the world must now live with a lunatic in possession 419 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: of of nuclear weapons. And this is the goal Iran 420 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: has as well, to reach a point where they become 421 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: immune to any sort of credible military threat because the 422 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: price of a military strike. 423 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: Would be too high. 424 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: And then they become an established nuclear weapons power. And 425 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: never in the history of the world has such a 426 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: regime ever possessed weapons so capable of destruction. Iran is 427 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: led by a Supreme leader who is a radical Shiah 428 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: cleric with an apocalyptic vision of the future. He is 429 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: not a traditional geopolitical actor who makes decisions on the 430 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: basis of borders or simply history or because of ambitions. 431 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: He has an apocaly religious, apocalyptic vision of the future, 432 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: one that calls for triggering a conflict between the non 433 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: Muslim world and the Muslim world, one that he feels 434 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: especially obligated to trigger, and he's going to possess nuclear weapons. 435 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: This is the world that we are on the verge 436 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: of leaving our children to inherit, and perhaps we ourselves 437 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: will have to share in it. And so I want 438 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: to be recorded for history's purposes of nothing else to 439 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: say that those of us who opposed this deal understood 440 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: where it would lead, and we are making a terrible mistake. 441 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: And I fear that a passage of this deal will 442 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: make it even harder for us to prevent it. And 443 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: I hope that there's still time to change our minds. 444 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: But here's the good news. Iran may have a supreme leader, 445 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: but America does not. In this nation, we have a republic, 446 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: and soon we'll have new leaders, perhaps in this chamber, 447 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: but also in the executive branch. And I pray that 448 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: on their first day in office, they will reverse this 449 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: steal and reimpose the sanctions and back them up with 450 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: a credible threat of military force, or history will condemn 451 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: us for not doing what needed to be done at 452 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: this critical moment in the world's history. 453 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 2: How yield the floor? 454 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 3: And again that was then Senator Mark Ruby eleven years ago, 455 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 3: and he laid out exactly what ended up transpiring over 456 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 3: the course of those eleven years. Now, President Donald Trump's 457 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 3: military operation is popular with around sixty percent of likely voters. 458 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: This is according to a survey that was released earlier 459 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 3: this week. The poll suggests that most of American of 460 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 3: the American public alignce with Trump's messaging on Operation Epic 461 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: Theory and is on board with adjoined US Israeli mission 462 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 3: to wipe out the authoritarian regime. The poll shows that 463 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 3: fifty six percent of likely voters support the United States 464 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 3: taking out the Iranian leadership, sixty three percent agree with 465 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 3: targeting the Iranian nuclear and baddistic missile sites. Nearly seventy 466 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 3: percent of respondence, meanwhile, agree with the Trump administration's argument 467 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 3: that Iran is a threat to global peace and democracy, 468 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 3: and seventy six percent agree that if Iran built a 469 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 3: nuclear weapon, it would pose a direct threat to the 470 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 3: United States. The results are flying in the face of 471 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 3: Democrat Party talking points, which has been why you've seen 472 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 3: the Democrats, apart from the War Powers resolution, which everybody 473 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 3: knew was going to fail yesterday, why they've been so 474 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 3: hesitant to go and take a strong stance on this 475 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 3: all Still while condemning the President for taking military action 476 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 3: against Irani without congressional approval, but even that has fallen flat. 477 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 3: And just to really simplify this, people underestimate the fact that, 478 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 3: regardless of party and Trump Derangement syndrome aside, as part 479 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 3: of our American culture, we love blowing stuff up. 480 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 2: I don't think I can put it any more plainly. 481 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 3: We love the American mite of our military and we 482 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 3: love blowing stuff up. Now, the flip side to this 483 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 3: is it can't go on forever. The administration has said 484 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 3: that it's not going to The operation will come to 485 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 3: an end. They're hoping in four to five weeks, depending 486 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 3: on how things transpire. And that needs to happen because, 487 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 3: as we saw with Operation Iraqi Freedom between two thousand 488 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: and three and twenty eleven, you had a public on 489 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 3: board until they weren't. You had a me that got 490 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: tired and was running out of ways to go and 491 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 3: cover Operation Iraqi Freedom. And we all know the results 492 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: of that endo becoming incredibly unpopular. Wherein in the onset 493 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 3: it was certainly more popular than what it ended up being. 494 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 3: All indications so far seemed to be, however, that this 495 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 3: is not going to be a protracted, lengthy conflict.

The footage 592 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 3: on that was incredible. I saw a meme overnight. It 593 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 3: made me laugh because I'm a huge one for Red 594 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 3: October fan, both of the book and the film, and 595 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 3: the meme was essentially it was the Jim Carrey from 596 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 3: Liar Liar where he takes the sip of water and 597 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 3: he goes come on and the water spills everywhere, and 598 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 3: it was He's like, this is the view of the 599 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 3: members of our military that ended up joining our military 600 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 3: to work on a submarine in the wake of watching 601 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 3: humph for Red October after seeing and retiring and now 602 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 3: watching one of our submarines go and blow up on 603 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 3: Iranian ship. 604 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh they're pretty awesome. It's pretty awesome footage. And 605 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 2: when you're watching. 606 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 3: Those those that footage online, by the way, and you 607 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 3: ever have any questions, because there's a lot of misinformation 608 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 3: that's going around right now regarding the footage is being released, 609 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 3: and a lot of fake footage make sure you do 610 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 3: a double check on it. I watched one yesterday where 611 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 3: somebody was trying to claim that we were blowing up 612 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 3: drawings of F fourteen's on the ground in Iran, and 613 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 3: it was completely debunked. 614 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, you just said it, John. This thing's got a 615 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 4: half life to it and a point of diminishing returns, 616 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 4: and that's probably in about five or six days, honestly, 617 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 4: because there's a lot, lot, lot of damage being done 618 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 4: to the infrastructure and at least Tehran, probably the ports. 619 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 4: So we got to get it done pretty quick and 620 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 4: then hopefully we stopped before everybody free. 621 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 3: Now I listen, I give it a much longer lifetime 622 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 3: before opinions begin to change. The Trump administration has established 623 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 3: upfront that Trump even said five weeks, and I think 624 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 3: that's on the long end. And because of that, I 625 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 3: think the baseline has been has been set. The standard's 626 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 3: been set because the concern here is not Democrats. The 627 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 3: concern here is Republicans, and Republicans will grow tired of 628 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 3: this evidence of extending beyond the standard of which the 629 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 3: administration has has set. Five weeks, you know, two months, 630 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 3: I think is an acceptable amount of time to go 631 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 3: on longer than that or of boots on the ground 632 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 3: situation that would end up becoming a negative for a 633 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 3: lot of voters and even you know myself included. I 634 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 3: don't want to see to get into any protracted engagement, 635 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 3: any lengthy engagement. Let's get this done. Let's let the 636 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 3: Iranian people step up. Let's have a new leader step 637 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 3: up in Iran to take over and remove this tyrannical regime. 638 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: Let's wrap on this. 639 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,240 Speaker 3: This is the other clip I had for Marco Rubio, 640 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 3: once again laying out in detail why Operation Epic Fury exists. 641 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 3: And then coming up just after the top of the hour, 642 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 3: we will dive into the Oversight Committee hearing on fraud 643 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 3: in which Governor Tim Walls and Keith Ellyson testified.

They have an ambition to 649 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 17: have nuclear weapons. They intend to develop those nuclear weapons 650 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 17: behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism that 651 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 17: the world will not be able to touch them for 652 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 17: fear of those things, and this is the weakest they've 653 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 17: ever been. 654 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 13: Now is the time to go after them. 655 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 17: The President made the decision to go after them.

That's why the 659 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 17: President made this decision. It was the right decision and 660 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 17: the world will be a safer place when these radical 661 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 17: clerics and a lot of them have access to these weapons. 662 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 17: You see how they're using them now, Imagine how they 663 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 17: would use them a year from now they had more 664 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 17: of these. 665 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 2: I'm an optimistic person.
