1
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,079
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls.

2
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: Likely to drop out of the Minnesota governor's race this morning.

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: This was the news that I woke up.

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: To right as my alarm went off at to thirty AM.

5
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: As if I didn't have enough already to talk about on.

6
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: What was the most news heavy two weeks of Christmas

7
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 3: vacation that I have ever had in the entirety of

8
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: my radio career.

9
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: I take this vacation every year I've been I mean

10
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: throughout all thirty some odd years of me doing this,

11
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: it's always two years right around the holidays. It doesn't

12
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: matter if I was working in rock radio. It didn't

13
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: matter if I was working in talk radio. And typically

14
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: it's because things slow down to a crawl. That was

15
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: not the case over the course of the of the.

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Past two weeks.

17
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: It is Twin Cities News Talk AM eleven thirty one

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: oh three five FM.

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: My name is John Justice. Thank you so much to.

20
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: Everybody who reached out over vacation, the many of you

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: who have already left to comments this morning via the

22
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: talkbacks on the iHeartRadio app. There's a ton of those

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: that have already rolled in, most of them just wishing me, Hey,

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: glad you're back on the on the show this morning.

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: I am very much glad to be here. Actually got

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: a full night's sleep last night, thank you. Minni Leaf

27
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: did what typically I'm not able to do after two

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: weeks of vacation, and that is get to sleep by

29
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: at a bare minimum seven thirty on Sunday night before

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: I get back to Monday's show.

31
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Joining me this morning is Sam in the booth next door.

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning. Do you have a good cook

33
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks?

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: I did.

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, sadly I didn't get to take time off, but

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: you know, it was still it was still that time.

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: Of the year, right, so it's always great. I felt

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: like I.

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: Didn't get to take time off. I did, don't misunderstand

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: I did. I wasn't doing vacation really well. The last

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: conversation that I had here in the building that Thursday

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: was talking with boss Manchad, and we expressed back and

43
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: forth my intent to completely disconnect from all of it,

44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: and it just couldn't happen. So much took place, and

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: we'll get to as much of it as we possibly

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: can on the show this morning. I've got a ton

47
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: of audio to share. Andrew Langer, president of the Institute

48
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: for Liberty. We'll be talking to him coming up at

49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: six point thirty this morning. We'll get into the international

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: news a lot to discuss. I mean that alone, the

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: capture of Maduro in Venezuela is enough for half the show,

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: and we just have too much local news to dive into.

53
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: So yesterday afternoon and again I woke up to this

54
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: to the text. This morning, a spokesperson did announce that

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls was holding a news conference today at

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 2: eleven am, taking questions and discussing the news.

57
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Of the day.

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: No other details were given by the governor's office. Now

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: hours later, one political insider did a report. None of

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: this has been confirmed yet, and yet everybody is reporting

61
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: the one political insider's information. So it seems as if

62
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: like we have no official confirmation of this. But it's

63
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: almost a certainty that the announcement this morning will most

64
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: likely mean that Walls is dropping out of the race.

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: I think there still is a better than fifty to

66
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: fifty chance that he resigns entirely. There's a lot of

67
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: moving parts attached to this. Allegedly Wall's talk with Amy Klobashar.

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: Please let her be the individual who replaces him. I

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: have much to say about this as well, but I

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: think that would be amazing. Now, this political insider reported

71
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: that Governor was set to make an announcement about his

72
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: political future today and that he would likely be dropping

73
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: out of the twenty twenty sixth race. As I mentioned,

74
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: reports are that the governor met with Senator amclobash Are

75
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: on Sunday to discuss the decision. Now, Clobashar is on

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: the list of possible contenders for the seat if Walls

77
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: were to bow out of the race. Secretary of State

78
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: Steve Simon is another name that could come up as

79
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: a contender as well. M I have a hard time

80
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: with that one. Not listen, I have a hard time

81
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: with anybody who's gonna run on the Democrat ticket for governor.

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: Don't misunderstand. I just mean that I don't see Steve

83
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: Simon being viable. Amy Klobashar potentially, but she's got her

84
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: own baggage to go and deal with it. This is

85
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 2: the if this is the case. Now, if this takes place,

86
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: assuming Walls is going to drop out of this race, okay,

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: whoever does replace Walls will not be directly tied to

88
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: any of the Minnesota controversies as the DFL attempts to

89
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: go and take fraud completely out of the equation. That's

90
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: what this will be all about. And there's further examples

91
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: of this, not just relating to Governor Tim Walls, but

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: also individuals under Walls who have been spearheading the efforts

93
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: of tackling the daily growth in fraud exposure here in Minnesota.

94
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: Most of those individuals are unconfirmed people. So I'm of

95
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: the belief that only, not only is Walls going to

96
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: be the one to take the fall on all of

97
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: this in hopes of taking this issue out of play

98
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: for Democrats running in Minnesota later this year, but also

99
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: those other individuals who are currently addressing the fraud are

100
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: going to fall by the wayside as well and be

101
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: replaced with other individuals who will not have any direct

102
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: ties to everything that's been dominating the media headlines, including

103
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: the national scrutiny that Minnesota has been receiving and.

104
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Had been the number one topic.

105
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: Up until the capture of Maduro and his transfer to

106
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: New York City, which I guess he'll be arranged later

107
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: on later on this morning. So this is the play.

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 2: The Democrats know that the current fraud that yet exposed fraud,

109
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: and the coming fraud is worse than even you and

110
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: I could go and predict. Now, I had a whole

111
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: other opening setup for the show this morning, beyond beyond this.

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 2: So we'll certainly be taking your thoughts throughout the show today.

113
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: You can give us a call eight four four nine

114
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: four six five eight five five. If you're listening on

115
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app, drop us a talk back. I see

116
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: that those are already rolling in. I'm gonna go a

117
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: little long in this first segment and let me share

118
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: this with you and Donald Trump, traveling on Air Force One,

119
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: was asked about Governor Tim Walls and the Somali fraud.

120
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say, and I'll get you

121
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: your comments from the iHeartRadio app coming up right here

122
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: on Twin City's News Talk.

123
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 5: One thing you have heard you specifically react to is

124
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 5: the Minnesota fraud that we've seen playout.

125
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 6: Right, just as a gain worse I'd reacted. It's almost

126
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 6: not even believable. This very stupid low IQ governor. He's

127
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: a very stupid man, because you know I had a

128
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 6: campaign against the with j Ad Matt. He's a stupid

129
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 6: man and he's a corrupt politician and the Somalians are

130
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 6: ripping off our country to the tuna. Looks like nineteen

131
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 6: billion dollars, but that's only what they can find. So

132
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 6: usually when you look at it nineteen, that would mean

133
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 6: it could be fifty. But the numbers are astronomical.

134
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what I was talking about. We are

135
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: just looking at the tip of the iceberg when it

136
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: comes to this issue of fraud. And we'll have I

137
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: have audit to share later on this morning, new fraud

138
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: revelations Paid Family Medical Leave of course got underway. An

139
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: astronomical number of individuals have already signed up for that program.

140
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: It's already doomed even before it officially got started on

141
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: January first.

142
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: We got a lot of ground to cover.

143
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: Again, leave me your comments from the iHeartRadio app your

144
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: talkback seat coming up. Those are brought to you by

145
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: Lyndahl Realty, and of course you can also drop me

146
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: an email Justice at iHeartRadio dot com.

147
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 6: Happy New Year, Good morning, and I love your show.

148
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 7: If the Democrats think that a Wallz resignation or a

149
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 7: simple dropping out of the race is going to settle

150
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 7: things down, they're wrong. It's going to be like throwing

151
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 7: chum in the water.

152
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: You're probably correct, but they need to do something because,

153
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: as we'll demonstrate on the show this morning here on

154
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: Twin Cities News Talk, we've only seen the tip of

155
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: the iceberg. This video from Nick Shirley that was going

156
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: around like right as I went on vacation and welcome

157
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: back to the show, John Justice, back from my Christmas vacation.

158
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: Sam's in the studio next door. What Nick Shirley did

159
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: was really just amplify all the work that it came

160
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: before him.

161
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: Much of which we already knew.

162
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: That video, though, finally went and took the issue to

163
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: the national stage in a way that had almost happened

164
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: with that City Journal reporting regarding the money leaving Minnesota

165
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: and going to Somalia landing in the hands of terrorist organizations.

166
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: What Nick Shirley's video did with the daycare centers was

167
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: really bring in that element that tapped it into individuals personally.

168
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: People can be outraged over what's taking place in terms

169
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,359
Speaker 2: of taxpayer dollars slowing away from the country, but outside

170
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: of Minnesota, it doesn't have that much bearing, right, raises

171
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: eyebrows is shocking, But when you talk about daycare, and

172
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: what we're seeing now is exposure across the country of

173
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: similar fraud schemes in other states. This is where individuals

174
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 2: begin to relate to this on a one on one level.

175
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: You had a group of Republican state lawmakers from both

176
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: the Minnesota House of Representatives and the Minnesota Senate that

177
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: we're calling on Walls to resign, and a lot of

178
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: what we'll be covering on the show this morning are

179
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: just articles that I've been grabbing over the course of

180
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: the past few weeks, and so it's a lot of

181
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: catch up on the show this morning as we try

182
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: to continue to keep things moving forward and telling you

183
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: about what's taking place today, including the announcement overnight that

184
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: there will be a press conference this morning at eleven

185
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: am regarding Governor Tim Walls and his future. Earlier in December,

186
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: you had the first Assistant US Attorney, Joe Thompson, this

187
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: was right as I went on vacation, so that he

188
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: suspected that more than nine billion spent on fourteen state

189
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: run medicaid programs could be fraudulent. Federal authorities are now

190
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: in the process of unraveling the fraud schemes that reportedly

191
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: built these programs for years. I'm working off of an

192
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: article here from alf News, and then you had this

193
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 2: group of five Republican legislators that were calling on Walls

194
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: to resign, calling on an article the Minnesota Constitution which

195
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: as a governor can be recalled for serious malfeasance or

196
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: nonfeasance during his time in office in the performance of.

197
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: The duties of his office. And listen, whether it's Nick

198
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: Shirley's videos or these.

199
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: Calls for Walls to resign, I imagine that the announcement

200
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: today was being talked about long before Nick Shirley's video

201
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: came out that Walls had been Walls knew that there

202
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: was a lot of damage here, and he's been facing

203
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: outside pressure from the Democrat Party now even before that

204
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: video from Nick Shirley went and brought this further to

205
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: the national level. And again we'll get into much much

206
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: more of this coming up throughout the show this morning.

207
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: I want to turn our attention though, for the time being,

208
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: over to the issues relating to what's been taking place

209
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: in Venezuela. Also, Iran's entering the chat in this and

210
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: we're going to talk more about this with Andrew Langer

211
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: in just a moment.

212
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: But first off, just as.

213
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: A again a bit of a catch up. So we

214
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: had some nine months ago Democrats out in the streets

215
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 2: with Ukrainian flags, and then about a month after that

216
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: you had Democrats taking to the streets with Palestinian flags.

217
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: And then you go back about seven months and it

218
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: was all Mexican flags, and then six months ago it

219
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: was Iranian flags being flown, and now it's Venezuelan flags

220
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: that are being flown. The Democrats have become this irrational

221
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: combination of radical leftist political ideologies, guided solely by their

222
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: hatred of Trump and their Trump derangement syndrome. We went

223
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: from no kings to protesters here in Minneapolis, here in

224
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: Minnesota taking to the streets upset that Maduro got arrested,

225
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: us a horrible dictator, while people in Venezuela go and celebrate.

226
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: Now in the meantime, before we get into more with Venezuelan,

227
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about this with Andrew Langer in a moment.

228
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: The State Department's Farzi language x accounts overnight posted a

229
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: series of ominous messages as the Iranian regime conducted missile

230
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: tests and security forces continued to correct down on demonstrators

231
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: around the country. This, of course, was defying President Donald

232
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: Trump's call for a stop to the violence. Now, Iran

233
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: has not been discussed much in the wake of the

234
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: situation regarding Venezuela. All of these things, though, are tied together.

235
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, but I voted for this.

236
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: I know the commentary out there from individuals and those

237
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: that support Trump, or at least what the mainstream media

238
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: is attempting to do to create these narratives saying that, well,

239
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: you know, Mago voted for Trump, you know, voted Trump

240
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: into office, so we wouldn't get into.

241
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Wars, did we go.

242
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: I am all for having a massive reset, not just

243
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: here in Minnesota, not just here in America, but globally

244
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: now that we have individuals serving in positions of power

245
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: in the greatest country on the face of the planet

246
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: who have the will and desire to go and do

247
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: what is necessary, including taking advantage of what's taking place

248
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: right now in Iran. The death toll has risen to

249
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: at least seventeen during the week long protest, most of

250
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: the victims reportedly killed by direct gunfire from regime forces.

251
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Various videos circulating on social media separately show Iranian security

252
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: forces violently attacking demonstrators and protesters chanting anti regime slogans,

253
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: including freedom and.

254
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Death to the dictator.

255
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: And this comes days after Trump warned that this activity

256
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: could lead to an American response. Again, the will and

257
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: desire to get accountability, that's what this is. And whether

258
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: we're talking about freedom in Venezuela, whether it is helping

259
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: with revolution in Iran, which really underscores our defense of

260
00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: Israel in bombing the nuclear facilities, or what it's going

261
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: to take to uproot the Minnesota rampant and systemic fraud, waste,

262
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: and abuse. It's a will and desire to go and

263
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: do the right thing. So we'll talk more with Andrew

264
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: Langer here in just a moment on Twin Cities News Talk.

265
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts on what's happening on the geopolitical stage.

266
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: I want to have a couple of clips from Marco Rubio,

267
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: and I'll start with this one here before we take

268
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: a break, and we'll get to your talk back from

269
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app coming up in just a moment. Marco

270
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: Rubio went on Meet the Press, and here's the first

271
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: clip from Marco talking about the so called individuals acting

272
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: like experts in the wake of what it transpired over

273
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: the weekend, including President Donald Trump saying that the United

274
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: States will now run Venezuela. This does not mean necessarily

275
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: having troops come in. It doesn't involve seams in control

276
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: of the government or deploying troops. Clarifying some of these statements,

277
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: saying that the United States would run the country until

278
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: such time as we can do a safe and proper

279
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: judicious transition. Here's the first clip from Meet the Preston.

280
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: We'll talk with Andrew Langer coming up in just a

281
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: moment on Twin Cities News Talky number one.

282
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 8: Most of the experts that people have on tep I

283
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 8: watched these experts and it's clown hour.

284
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 9: Okay.

285
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 8: These are people that have focused their entire career on

286
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 8: the Middle East or some other part of the work,

287
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 8: because that's what all the action was. They very few

288
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 8: of them know anything about Venezuela or.

289
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 9: The Western Hemisphere.

290
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 8: Venezuela looks nothing like Libya. It looks nothing like a rock,

291
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 8: it looks nothing like Afghanistan, it looks nothing like the

292
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 8: Middle East, other than the Iranian agents that are running

293
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 8: through their plotting against America. Okay, these are Western countries

294
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 8: with long traditions among the people to people and cultural

295
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 8: level and ties to the United States.

296
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 9: So there's nothing like that.

297
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 8: So I think people need to stop describing the apples

298
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 8: and oranges here the apples or the Middle East to the.

299
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 9: Oranges of the Western hemisphere.

300
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 8: But the number two, this is about the national interest

301
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 8: of the United States, and what I'm confident of is

302
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 8: we are in a safer and better place because we're

303
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 8: taking it seriously. Alternative would have been to leave Maduro

304
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 8: there as an indicted the drug trafficker, illegitimate president running

305
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 8: the country, open invitation for all of our adversaries to

306
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 8: do whatever they want against the United States from Venezuela.

307
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 9: That was not going to continue.

308
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 8: What the alternative would have been to allow a drug

309
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 8: trafficker to continue to use national territory and elements of

310
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 8: nation state power to further drug trafficking organizations.

311
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: Read the indictment.

312
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 8: This guy used the levers of their security apparatus not

313
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 8: to arrest drug traffickers, but to cooperate and facilitate the

314
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 8: trafficking of drugs for the purpose of getting them into

315
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 8: the United States.

316
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: And that's going to stop.

317
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: Good morning, and I love your show. Venezuelan opposition leader

318
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: Maria Carina Machado on Saturday praised the United States for

319
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: its removal of dictator Nicholas Maduro from power. Machada, who'd

320
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: won the Nobel Peace Prize last month and dedicated it

321
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: to President Donald Trump, so Venezuelan's military should respect the

322
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: results of the country's twenty twenty four election, where ballot

323
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: machine data showed the opposition candidate had Mundo Gonzalez had

324
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: won by a two to one margin, despite Maduro claiming victory. Now,

325
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: Gonzalez is currently living in Spain in exile following the election,

326
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: Venezuela will be free, Machado added. We go by the

327
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: hand of God until the end. It's Twin City's News

328
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM.

329
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: My name is John Justice.

330
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 2: As we dive into the new year, a couple of

331
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: clips here before we get to Andrew Langer, president of

332
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: the Institute for Liberty MSNBC and Jensaki silenced after setting

333
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: up John Brennan with what she probably was assuming Brennan

334
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: trashing Trump's operation capturing Maduro Instead.

335
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: Brennan with the other direction.

336
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 10: What did you make of the events of the last

337
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 10: twenty four hours here?

338
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 9: Well, John, I thanks, you did a very good job

339
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 9: teeing this up.

340
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 11: First of all, again, the US military and US intelligence

341
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 11: are second to none in terms of their capabilities, their competence, talent,

342
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 11: as well as their courageous actions. And so it does

343
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 11: look as though it was a flawlessly executed operation, at

344
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 11: least according to what we hear from the administration so far.

345
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 11: And a lot of planning went into that, but that

346
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 11: was I want to say, it's the easy part, because

347
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 11: it was sort of a complex operation. But this happened

348
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 11: less than twenty four hours ago. Now the big question

349
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 11: is what is the impact of that action. I think

350
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 11: there are a lot of people in Venezuela and outside

351
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 11: who are celebrating the departure of Maduro.

352
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 9: She pointed out.

353
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 11: He was an illegitimately installed a leader, a dictator of Venezuela.

354
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 11: He was involved in drug running for a number of years.

355
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 11: He's been involved in a lot of criminal activity, and

356
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 11: so yes, it's good that he is no longer in charge.

357
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 11: But the big question is what is going to happen

358
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 11: now after this?

359
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: And now we know that we'll basically run the country

360
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: until peace can be restored there. Marco Rubio another clip

361
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: from Meat the Press over the weekend, talking with Christen Welker.

362
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 12: If the purpose of the operation was to capture Maduro

363
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 12: and bring him to justice, why does the United States

364
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 12: need to take over the Venezuelan oil industry, Well.

365
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 8: We don't need to. First, let me go back up.

366
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 8: We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil

367
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 8: in the United States. What we're not going to allow

368
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 8: is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled

369
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 8: by adversaries.

370
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 9: Of the United States.

371
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 8: You have to understand why does China need their oil,

372
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 8: Why does Russia need their oil, Why does Iron need

373
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 8: their oil? They're not even in this continent. This is

374
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 8: the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live, and we're

375
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 8: not going to allow the Western Hemisphere to be a

376
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 8: base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the

377
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 8: United States. We also want to see that oil and

378
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 8: the proceeds from it hold on. We want to see

379
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 8: the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela.

380
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 8: Why have eight million people left Venezuela, eight million? The

381
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 8: single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela's

382
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 8: in twenty fourteen because all the wealth of that country

383
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 8: was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies

384
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 8: in the regime, but not to the benefit of people

385
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 8: of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing eight million migrants is

386
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 8: the number one fear that Brazil has, that Columbia has,

387
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 8: that all these countries in the region have about what's

388
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 8: happening in Venezuela, and our involvement is they're afraid of

389
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 8: another mass migration event. That's what they feel. This is

390
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 8: deeply destabilizing stuff.

391
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 9: It's not going to continue to happen.

392
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 8: They are not going to come from outside of our

393
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 8: hemisphere destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us

394
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 8: have to pay the price for it.

395
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 9: Not under President Trump.

396
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: Good morning, John Rick and Virginia, welcome back.

397
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 10: You were missed.

398
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 9: You know you mentioned those.

399
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 10: Flags that the radical Democrats were holding eleven months ago,

400
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 10: and nine months ago, seven months.

401
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 13: Ago, and now Venezuela, Ukraine, Iran, they all have this

402
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 13: in common.

403
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 10: They are dictator police states.

404
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: When you think about.

405
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 10: The rights that the Biden administration locking up their political

406
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 10: Armies enemies.

407
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: We are becoming that as well. Boy did we ever

408
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: dodge a bull?

409
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 3: It didn't.

410
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 9: We have a great day.

411
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 4: Good morning, John, Welcome back from your little vacation. All

412
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 4: I gotta say is not enough credit is being given

413
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 4: to our boy, Pete Haig Seth in and out of

414
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: Venezuela one and done.

415
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 9: In thirty minutes.

416
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: That is the That is the power of the US

417
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 4: military when it's not collared and least, good job, Pete.

418
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: I want to go back to the previous comment that

419
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: was made regarding the flags and what I mentioned a

420
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: moment ago with the Democrat Party becoming this irrational combination

421
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: of radical leftists, the political ideologies that they've just all

422
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: rolled into into one.

423
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: It really just comes down to their hatred of Trump.

424
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: But it's more than that. It's a lot more than that.

425
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: When you're not guided by anything beyond yourself, this is

426
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: what you end up with. You end up with this

427
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: irrational opposition to the thing that you're against, and you

428
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: have no guiding principles but your own selfish intent. So

429
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: when you're not guided by anything, you end up and

430
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: I've mentioned this many times before, you end up becoming

431
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: essentially your own God. You don't have to have any

432
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: baseline principles beyond just tearing down whoever the enemy is

433
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: in your eyes, which is why you've just seen the Democrats.

434
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: They have absolutely no standard.

435
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: Whatsoever right now in terms of what they believe in

436
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: beyond just their pure, unrefined or I shouldn't say refined

437
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: hatred of Trump and Republicans. And we're working on getting

438
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: Andrew up. I believe we've had some uh difficulties with

439
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 2: the calendar. Are we getting any closer there? Sam, Because

440
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: he was messaging me right now saying there's a conflict

441
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 2: with the calendar on his end. If anything, we can

442
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: give him a call on the phone. He wanted to

443
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: go ahead and do that. If we can't get him lined.

444
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: Up, I think we got it here, give me a

445
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: few more seconds. Okay, let's go here, Hey, John.

446
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 9: If that's the case, when the coats of the metal.

447
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 14: Thing, I mean a piece of criminal, I get it.

448
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 14: But he's not an American criminal. Trump doesn't start with Jaileen,

449
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 14: people like Governor Walton.

450
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: Let me stop here really quick. That would with this

451
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: American criminal. We're arresting him. He's going to be arraigned

452
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 2: in New York City. I'm watching him right now because

453
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: of what he's been doing to America, because of the

454
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: number of individuals who have died because of his lack

455
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: of a will and desire to stop the drugs that

456
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: have been coming in to the country. So I just

457
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: want to first off, dismens with this American criminal. No,

458
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: he's being tried in America because of what he's been

459
00:25:59,200 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 2: doing to America.

460
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: To get to more of his point.

461
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 14: First, or Elon Omar or.

462
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: Keith let me back up here from Jalen.

463
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 14: People like Gobnora, I get it, but he's not an

464
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 14: American criminal. How Trump doesn't start with Jalen people like

465
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 14: Gobnor Walds first, or Elon Olmar or Keith Ellison or

466
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 14: Gavin Newsom or Nancy Pelosi.

467
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 9: How it's always somebody else.

468
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: Because cases have to be built against those individuals and

469
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: they have to be charged with something. Those are things

470
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: that should be handled at the state level first. Now,

471
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: you can make an argument if we want to go

472
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: down this road for just a moment regarding Ilhan Omar

473
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: and that this should have been investigated along time ago.

474
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: But when it comes to the nation's interests, which is

475
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: what the Trump administration is currently tackling and the fact

476
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: that he's only been in office now for just going

477
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 2: on one year of his first year of his four

478
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: year term, in his second term in in office. You

479
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: have to build cases against these against these individuals, and

480
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: right now those cases haven't been built yet. They may

481
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 2: be coming, they might be happening soon. But I hear

482
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: this argument. I hear this argument all the time, or

483
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: why isn't this person being arrested? And why isn't this

484
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: person being arrested? Because you're going off of an assumption

485
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: that people have done something criminal, and they may have,

486
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: But you gotta build cases. You've got to have indictments.

487
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: You have to be on firm ground relating to the

488
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 2: crimes that somebody has committed in.

489
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: Order to charge them with something.

490
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: An easier way to say this is don't throw the

491
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: baby out with the bathwater.

492
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: In all of this, we did the right thing with Maduro.

493
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: We're doing the right thing in my opinion, on the

494
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: national stage regarding these particular issues. And don't overly criticize

495
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: what has been taking place because individuals that you believe

496
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: should be arrested have not been arrested yet.

497
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 5: Good morning, John, welcome back. One of the things I

498
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 5: find rich is these liberals screaming that Trump should have

499
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: gotten congressional approval, which would have provided leaks, because we

500
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: all know that would have happened, and then this would

501
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 5: have not taken down Madul But Osama bin laden there

502
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 5: was no congressional approval for taking him down. Obama didn't

503
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 5: seek congressional approval, and that goes all the way through

504
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 5: both Bushes and Biden for many takedowns of many leaders

505
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 5: in many countries without congressional approval just got took.

506
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 13: One has to chuckle just a little bit with the

507
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 13: possible announce with that Waltz is gonna re remove himself

508
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 13: from the governor race. But most likely what Waltz will

509
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 13: do is he'll finally announce that there's going to be

510
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 13: a special session put together for her gun violence.

511
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 9: You know, that would be more of the Walts.

512
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: Move and we'll be talking more about walls coming up

513
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 2: at the top of next hour. We've been dealing with

514
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: some technical difficulties, so my apologies on that front, but

515
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: I do believe that we have Andrew Langer, president of

516
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: the Institute for Liberty, c pack regulatory guru and not

517
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: only the longest running guest for me in my talk

518
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: radio career, but also my first guest of twenty twenty six.

519
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, my friend.

520
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 6: Wow.

521
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 10: Well listen, you know, John, I was going to make

522
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 10: a quip about how it's the first time we've ever spoken,

523
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 10: so obviously they're going to be snef who's but the

524
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 10: first time we've spoken in twenty twenty six, after two

525
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 10: weeks off, we lose the ability to easily transition.

526
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: Listen.

527
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: I I blame the radical leftists. I'm sure I'm getting

528
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: talkbacks right now with people saying that I've already been sabotaged.

529
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 10: So in fact, this is why, this is why Tim

530
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 10: Waltz is not running for a third term of governor,

531
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 10: because he was trying to stop you and me from talking.

532
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 9: This morning, I.

533
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: Had my son, my oldest he because everybody was completely

534
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: thrown off that I've been home in the past couple

535
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: of weeks, and he had texted me because he went

536
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: to work on Sunday morning. He had texted me Sunday

537
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: morning thinking that I was going to work because he

538
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: had lost track of the days. And this was relating

539
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: to Maduro and our operation going into Venezuela. And then

540
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: this morning, I wake up and I've got a bunch

541
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: of texts and they're from friends of the show, you know, saying, hey,

542
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: did you hear Walls may step down? I'm like, oh,

543
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: my gosh, And I thought, Andrew, and I think as

544
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: you did as well, because I know that you were

545
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: doing some talk radio over vacation, and I was privileged

546
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: to be able to join you as well. But I

547
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: suspected that with the amount of news that took place

548
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: over the course of the past two weeks between Christmas

549
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: and New Year's that it was going too pale in

550
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: comparison to what will transpire this week now that the

551
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: holidays are over. And certainly that seems to be the

552
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: case with this pending Walls announcement coming up at eleven o'clock.

553
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, listen, I think that's absolutely true.

554
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 6: Now.

555
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 10: The funny thing is my regulatory tempo really didn't change

556
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 10: while we were all on vacation. I wound up filing,

557
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 10: you know, about ten different sets of comments in the

558
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 10: last couple of weeks of December, and one of my

559
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 10: most important sets of comments is due today on the

560
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 10: waters being United States thing.

561
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's Yeah, it was.

562
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 9: A lot going on, and a lot's going to be

563
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 9: happening now that we're all.

564
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: Back, Let's talk we've been talking about on the foreign

565
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: policy front and what's been taking place with Venezuela. I

566
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: also talked to a moment ago about something that has

567
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: not been getting a ton of attention in the wake

568
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: of Maduro's arrest. But that is, of course, the revolution

569
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: potentially pending in Iran as well, and the fact that

570
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: the Trump administration may be poised to want to take

571
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: advantage of that.

572
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.

573
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: Let's take the thirty thousand foot level on this, Andrew Langer,

574
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on, you know, sort of the

575
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: dam breaking on our foreign policy and all of these

576
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: moves being made by the administration, including what I think

577
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: is most people still trying to wrap their heads around

578
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: just how complicated that operation was.

579
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: As Maduro is march to a courtroom this morning.

580
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, let's let's be really clear about something.

581
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 10: The talkbacks that you've gotten this morning are absolutely right

582
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 10: in terms of this idea of getting Congress to vote

583
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 10: on this specific action in Venezuela.

584
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 9: Is it just defies logic that we would that we

585
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 9: would go and do that.

586
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 10: That being said, right, the Osama bin Laden capture was

587
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 10: operating under the authorized use of military force in the

588
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 10: wake of nine to eleven. It was still sort of

589
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 10: operational in that regard, so it's a little bit different there.

590
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 10: But the reality is, you know, it's it's like, you

591
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 10: can't for years Democrats be talking about what a bad

592
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 10: guy Maduro is. You can't if you're the Biden administration

593
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 10: offer up literally just a week and a half before

594
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 10: you're going out of office. In early January of twenty

595
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 10: twenty five, the Biden administration increased the bounty on Maduro

596
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 10: to twenty five million dollars. And so you can't sort

597
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 10: of with the one hand say that, you know, we're

598
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 10: going to declare this guy to be a bad dude,

599
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 10: and when the guy you don't like goes in and

600
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 10: actually gets him. Now listen, if I'm Donald Trump, I

601
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 10: would then turn around and say I want the bounty.

602
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 10: You know, that would just make their heads explode. Not

603
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 10: that I wanted to do that, not that I think

604
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 10: he's due the bounty. I'm just always liking it when

605
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 10: you know he makes the Democrats heads explode.

606
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 9: Sure, you know, at the end of the day.

607
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 10: Right, he was properly indicted as a law enforcement operation.

608
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 9: All of those things are correct.

609
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 10: I I and you know, you got to go grab

610
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 10: the guy when you can grab the guy. I'm hoping

611
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 10: that we are better at the end game here than

612
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 10: we have been in any any other time that we

613
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 10: have you know, moved in to replace a leader in

614
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 10: a nation. Our track record isn't all that great on this,

615
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 10: so you know, it's it's you know, for all kinds

616
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 10: of reasons, it was the right thing to do.

617
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, quick note on this and it's it's it's irrelevant

618
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: apart from just I found it really fascinating.

619
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

620
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump over the weekend, and he had talked

621
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: with Fox initially before he made the announcement the official

622
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: press conference. He had talked with Fox News I believe

623
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: it was on Saturday morning, Saturday, Sunday morning, and it

624
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: was funny because he mentioned how violent the operation was

625
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: in terms of how he was describing it.

626
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: I know, that was really that was really interesting.

627
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: And then this morning watching some of the footage a

628
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 2: board Air Force one where he was being interviewed by

629
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: the press, and he made another comment about the number

630
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: of individuals that died within the operation. I only say

631
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: all of this because I'm really looking forward to whatever

632
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: the dramatization of this particular operation ends up coming to light,

633
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: to see just what transpired in going and making this happen,

634
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: and what a wholesale difference between operations like this under

635
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 2: the Trump administration and previous military operations under Democrat leadership

636
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: that have just failed miserably. So again, just a bit

637
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 2: of an observation on what is trans inspired over the weekend.

638
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 9: Right, I mean, and and that and that's and that's

639
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 9: exactly it.

640
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 10: I mean, you know you think about sort of the

641
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 10: grandmother of all of these debacles, well, actually a.

642
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 9: Grandmother the you know, the the operation.

643
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 10: Did to get the Iranian hostages back in nineteen eighty.

644
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 10: You know, that's sort of the I don't want to

645
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 10: say it's the gold standard. Let's say it's the excrement

646
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 10: standard of things that can go wrong. But yeah, you know,

647
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 10: so there's a there's a real contrast there, to say

648
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 10: the least. I mean, obviously there is so much that

649
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 10: is happening you and you know you asked about Iran.

650
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 10: I mean that is the other part of this, which is,

651
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 10: you know, what does happen. I know that the Shah's

652
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 10: son has spent a lot of time.

653
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 9: In Washington circles.

654
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 10: Really, he has been waiting for this moment for a

655
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 10: very very long time. You know, As always, I am

656
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 10: cautious the Ayatola is a bad guy.

657
00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 9: Here's the other part of this.

658
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 10: I'm so all right, you know, not to I don't

659
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 10: want to ramble here, But isn't it fascinating that you know,

660
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 10: all these nations, you know, whether it's Iran, whether it's Venezuela,

661
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 10: you know, they're all related to Russia.

662
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 9: North Korea is another part of this. They're all related

663
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 9: to Russia.

664
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 10: And China in some way, shape or form, And so

665
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 10: if this is sort of chipping away at their efforts

666
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 10: to gain world hegemony, then then that's a good thing

667
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 10: as well well.

668
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: And you know the other the other backdrop to this too,

669
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: which also has gotten lost in a lot of the

670
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: coverage of what's happened in Venezuela and even Iran, is

671
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: a lot of the a lot of the military rampump

672
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: in the activity around Taiwan. And I can't help but

673
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: feel that a lot of these moves that we're currently

674
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: making and keeping an eye on you know, potential revolution

675
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 2: in Iran is also sending a bit of a message

676
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 2: to China relating to whatever their efforts may be in

677
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,479
Speaker 2: the near future Taiwan as well.

678
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 9: Right, And that's that's exactly it.

679
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 10: It's this issue of sending other messages that are out there.

680
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 10: You know, somebody over the weekend, the Democrat was bemoaning,

681
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 10: actually maybe with somebody.

682
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 9: That I'm related to.

683
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 10: It was bemoaning, what message doesn't send to other world

684
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 10: leaders if we're going to be taking.

685
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 9: This, And I'm like, I'm not. You know, this is

686
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 9: actually the message that I.

687
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 10: Want to send to them, which is that we are

688
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 10: in This is part of what you and I were

689
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 10: talking about on the air. We are in this era

690
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 10: of f around and find out and at some point

691
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 10: in time, you know, we we there's a lot of talk, right,

692
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 10: This is this is always one of my great frustrations.

693
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 9: Folks may not remember.

694
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 10: I have a degree in international relations, and one of

695
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 10: my frustrations when I was a student was sort of this.

696
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 10: You know, yeah, and I understand the language of diplomacy

697
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 10: and the need for diplomacy, but at some point in time,

698
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 10: it's like, you know, it's all about talking and talking

699
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 10: and talking, and it's it's never about actually making good

700
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 10: on whatever promises, right, And that may be the fundamental

701
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 10: difference between establishmentarians and disruptors, or progressives and conservatives, is

702
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 10: this idea of when you make a statement that you're

703
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 10: going to do something and you make a red line,

704
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 10: you can't go back on it when they when they

705
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 10: cross that line. And so again it's like the Biden administration,

706
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 10: the looleaning days, they increase the bounty and you know

707
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 10: that's like, okay, well that you know, if you weren't

708
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 10: expecting someone to do something, why if you don't want

709
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 10: to go to Chicago, why'd.

710
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 9: You get on this train?

711
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

Speaker 10: Be a favor, just follow me on Twitter if you're

720

Speaker 10: in the last couple of weeks, and you know the

723
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 10: various lunch hour interviews that I'm doing, sitting down with

724
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 10: a guy named Brian Darling today, that'll be up next

725
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 10: week to talk about Venezuela because there are you know,

726
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 10: skeptics and conservative circles out there, so go and check

727
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:17,239

Speaker 9: You're doctor letter.

731
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: Walls expected to address his political future on Monday, that

732
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: would be today. Putting it lightly, sources are saying that

733
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: Walls will announce that he is not going to be

734
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 2: running for a historic third term. I think that the

735
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: possibility is fifty to fifty that not only is he

736
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 2: not running for third term, but he actually goes and resigns.

737
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: So we're going to tackle more of this. Coming up.

738

Speaker 2: House Oversight launches investigation into our multi billion dollar Minnesota fraud,
