1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Six one seven two sex sex sixty eight. Sixty eight 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, Mike is very worried. He wants 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: to go to the World Cup. He and his friends 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: are dying ago. They're planning to go, you know, as 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: long as it's in Boston, and so he doesn't want 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: Trump to remove it because he says he and his 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: friends are gonna get screwed. Sandy thinks that Trump is bluffing, 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: that they just are not going to be able to 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: find a suitable venue somewhere else in the country that 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: can meet the crowds, the people, the magnitude of the 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: World Cup, which, as Sandy put it, that's like the 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl times ten. And I'm like, well, I don't know. 13 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: I mean, but Charlotte, well, Charlotte doesn't have a big 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: enough stadium. Well, you know what, Philadelphia doesn't have a 15 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: big enough stadium. I mean, I think there are other places, 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: Sandy saying, look, she doesn't like Milwaukee. She doesn't think 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: Milwaukee can handle it, she said. They're basically both of 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: them are arguing that very few cities can handle the 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: volume of the people that will be attending a World 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: Cup match. You know, Mike says, is it an argument 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: or is it just stating a fact. So I don't know. 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: I honestly think people in the in the greater Boston area, 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: because Mike technically lives in New Hampshire. But obviously, you know, 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: he's a big Bruins fan. He's a big Red Sox fan, 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: he's a big Patriots fan, big Celtics fan. I think 26 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: they're a little Boston centric. Boston is not the only 27 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: game in town. I'm just saying. I'm just saying six 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Greg 29 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: in Boston. Thanks for holding Greg, and welcome. 30 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: Hey, Jeff, my friend. 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm very good. How are you Greg? Great? 32 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: Thanks? 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: So just really quick on Venezuela, you got it right, 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: continue to blow up the boats, but we don't need 35 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 3: to get into that Trump, it will totally derail his presidency. 36 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 3: On top of that, he said it, he said it 37 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 3: as well, we don't have the money. We're printing money. 38 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 3: We don't have the money to get into a into 39 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 3: a you know, with them for regime regime change. We 40 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: do not, So I really really hope that that doesn't happen. 41 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 3: That would be that'd be the worst thing that we 42 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: can do. 43 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: Again. 44 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 4: Keep blowing up the boats, you. 45 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 3: Know, a gorilla tactic, special forces, but do not do 46 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: not get into regime change. It's the worst thing. 47 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: We can do. 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: And if he's really compelled to do it running through Congress, 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: like you said, so you're spot on there now. Regarding 50 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: the World Cup, I have a Brazilian girlfriend. We've been 51 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: to two World Cups twenty fourteen in Brazil. Uh and 52 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: Sandy said it right too, it's I I liken it too. 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 3: It's the Super Bowl, World Series, uh, Stanley Cup Finals 54 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: in the NBA. It's all wrapped up into one. It's 55 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: it is an experience. And so in Brazil it was amazing. 56 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: I mean I remember walking out of the stadium. We 57 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 3: saw the national team play, and it's it's just you 58 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: go to a bar after the game and you rewatch 59 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: the game and we know Brazil wins, and and they're 60 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: watching this, you know, like it's it's brand new. It's 61 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: just it's an amazing experience. I also went to the 62 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: World Cup in Russia. I saw Brazil lose to Belgium 63 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: and Gazon. We went up to Saint Pete's and to Moscow. 64 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: Unbelievable experience, just you know, a trip of a lifetime, 65 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: and so I was we were looking forward to it 66 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: in Boston. But I you know, I really really hope 67 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: that Trump's not bluffing because he's rewarding bad behavior and 68 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: there's plenty of I disagree, respectfully with Mike and Sandy. 69 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: Boston is actually it's such a you know, it's small city. 70 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: It's uh, it's it's not ideal to host it. You know, 71 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: there's there's plenty of other major cities that could that 72 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: could host it, and it would be a real shame 73 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 3: because it's you know, all the local businesses from hotels, 74 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: the restaurants, the local attractions. It generates millions, you know, 75 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: it's it would be really really good for our economy. 76 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Uh. But you know, uh, you know. 77 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: Michelle Woo woo and her policies don't reward it, you know, 78 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: don't reward it and let her own it. Let her 79 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: own it, you know. Mike and Sandia, you know, Mike 80 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 3: wants to go, you know, fly. 81 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: Out of Miami. 82 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: It's three hour flight and you can do it down there. 83 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: I want to go. We're looking forward to it. 84 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 3: Uh, you know, my girlfriend's really bummed about it, but 85 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: that's what we're gonna do. We'll just pick another little 86 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: we'll go do it. 87 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: Greg. I'm telling you, buddy, you're you're really is your 88 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: last name Cooner by any chance.

I'm listening to you, and 90 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm just nodding my head up and down, up and down, 91 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: up and down, up and down. The only difference is 92 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: your girlfriend's Brazilian. My wife is Italian, who, by the way, 93 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: she loves the World Cup and the Euros because she's 94 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: a huge Italy soccer fan, huge, huge, and her old 95 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: family is Italia Viva Italia, so she's a big soccer 96 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: fan for Italy. So she was looking forward to the 97 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: World Cup and maybe catching a game in Boston like that. 98 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: That's you know. She'd been bugging me about this for 99 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: like months, like, come on, we gotta go, she says, 100 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think Croatia's gonna be coming, Jeff, come on, 101 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: you gotta go. And you know, and it's the festivities, 102 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: it's the crowd, it's the ambiance, it's the feeling in 103 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: the city. You're right, it's not just the money, it's 104 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: the whole atmosphe fear, it's it's it's incredible it's just 105 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: absolutely incredible, and it's all on her. You're right, why 106 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: should we reward bad behavior? If she can't make the 107 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: city livable enough, safe enough, civilized enough to host the 108 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: World Cup or one of the you know cities that 109 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: hosts the World Cup game, then it's up. 110 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 4: It's on her. 111 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six, six, sixty eight sixty eight 112 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, I gotta say, I'm I'm I'm 113 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: always surprised at the kind of venomous hatred. That's the 114 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: only phrase that comes to mind that soccer elicits from 115 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: some of the listeners. So listen now to this. This 116 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: is from nine to one seven. You can text the 117 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: cooner man seven zero four seven zero seven zero four 118 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: seven zero Jeff, move the soccer tournament to a red 119 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: state now at once. You will not get any cooperation 120 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: from Massachusetts Blue politics ever, So why wait? Look at 121 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: it more as a way to reward friends rather than 122 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 1: punish enemies. Dallas, Jacksonville, Hell, even Nashville, Tennessee. And then 123 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: continues soccer is a third world gain that should stay 124 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: in the third world. Its very presence in the United 125 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: States of America is a subversive force. Well, yeah, you're 126 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: read my Yeah. Well, I mean, you know that's news 127 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: to Germany and England and France and and and Italy, 128 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: and I mean it's you know, it's news to the 129 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: like that they're suddenly third world. But but you know, 130 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: let that go, and then the texter continues. Atmosphere, question Mark, 131 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: you know when I said, well, it's an incredible atmosphere 132 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: when you go to a game. No sport is responsible 133 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: for more death and damage after important games than soccer. 134 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Well that what I think. You may have a point. 135 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean that that's a good point, Sandy, that's a 136 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: good point. Yet you know that the Vancouver Canucks fans, 137 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, when they win the Canucks, you know, like 138 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: when in hockey when they win the NHL the Stanley Cup, 139 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean they I mean they riot, I mean they 140 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: they I mean they they're like Black Lives Matter or Antifa. 141 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: Uh and you're right, Boston at the World Series. What 142 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: is it that woman died at Fenway Park? So no, 143 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: he could get pretty violent even with soccer. I'm sorry, 144 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: with basketball or baseball or hockey or you know football here, 145 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: but I do remember, for example, what was it I 146 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: think it was Venezuela speaking of Venezuela. There was a 147 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: defensive player who did an own goal. It was just 148 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: it was a mistake and he just, you know, a 149 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: ball was crossed over. He tried to clear the ball. 150 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: Long story short, he ended up clearing it into his 151 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: own net. It was an own goal and it cost 152 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: Venezuela the game. And clearly the guy didn't do it 153 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: on purpose. I mean you could see him. He was 154 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: absolutely despondent. Well after the game, Venezuela was out of 155 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: the tournament, out of the World Cup, and all of 156 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: the players told him, don't go back to Venezuela. They're 157 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: going to kill you. Well he didn't listen, So then 158 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: he goes back to Venezuela Caracas, the capitol. Then his 159 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: players and family members said, okay, you shouldn't have come, 160 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: but now just stay holed up in the apartment. Don't 161 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: go outside because they're looking for you. If they find you, 162 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna kill you. Well it's about two or three 163 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: weeks now after the World Cup, and he says, ah, 164 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: things have died down a bit. I'm gonna go out 165 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. I've been cooped up forever. He goes 166 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: to a local bar to have a drink. This is 167 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: you know, the guy who scored in his own net 168 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: and yep, they somebody recognized them, got a gun, bang 169 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: bang bang, and they shot him dead. So no soccer 170 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: soccer can elicit these kinds of emotions. Six one seven 171 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: two six six sixty eight sixty eight. William in the 172 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Great State of Indiana. Thanks for holding William, And welcome Jeff. 173 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: Can you hear me? 174 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: Okay, I can hear you. Can you hear me? 175 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: Yes? First time a long time. 176 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: Welcome. 177 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: He actually when you said eight twenty, I looked at 178 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: my clock and I said, son of a gun, I'm 179 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: actually visiting Boston this week. But two quick points before 180 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: Mike cuts me off. The first one is I think 181 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: the best thing to do right now is for President 182 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: Trump to have the airline people put notices that certain 183 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: cities we do not recommend you travel. Whatever that designation 184 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 2: is some kind of hazard hazard as are due to 185 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: X Y Z and nice statement. The second thing is 186 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: President Trump shouldn't fight for each foot for foot, because 187 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: we put brave men and women's lives in danger if 188 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: we do that. I think he should go into whatever 189 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: city he wants and whatever federal property is in that city, 190 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: he should put on a perimeter to protect that property 191 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 2: and will decide where the battlefield are, not them that 192 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: So all I got to say is a pleasure to 193 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: get you live, have a good day. 194 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: I response, thank you, thank you. William. No, look, I 195 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: completely agree with you. You know, Look, the federal government 196 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: has the right to protect federal law, enforce federal law. 197 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: And that's what they're doing now regarding illegal aliens. 198 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: You know. 199 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not like Trump wrote up 200 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: the law. The laws were passed by Congress a long 201 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: time ago. He's just enforcing the laws that were enacted 202 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: by Congress. I'm talking about deporting illegal aliens. So he's 203 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: enforcing federal law. He's using federal authority and federal law 204 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: enforcement to protect federal buildings i e. Ice facilities, and 205 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: to protect federal law enforcement who are now coming under 206 00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: attack by rogue criminal terrorist elements and who are being 207 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: and these rogue terrorist elements are being clearly backed and 208 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: supported by these sanctuary mayors, these Democrat mayors and Democrat governors. 209 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: So what's he going to do? Just what not enforce 210 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: an important part of our law? So is this now 211 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: the kind of country we're going to have. So what 212 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: we're just now what governors and mayors get a veto 213 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: over what laws they'll follow and what laws they won't 214 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: follow and what. So we're going to have some states. 215 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: We'll think about this. So some states are just not 216 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: going to abide by federal immigration law. Do you know 217 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: the kind of anarchy this would unleash, like just logically, 218 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: just think about it. So that means here, let me 219 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: just in Massachusetts, since you're in the Boston area, William, 220 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: So that means what they can say, Nah, you can 221 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: come in from anywhere in the world one million, two million, 222 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: three million, four million, five million, six million, ten million, 223 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: twenty million, And it doesn't matter what the federal immigration 224 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: law is because we make up our own law here. 225 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: We don't have internal passports. There's no border when you 226 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: go into Rhode Island or New Hampshire or State of 227 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: New York or wherever. So they can come into one state. 228 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: Illegal aliens now, and let's be clear, many of them 229 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: are trend or Aragua MS thirteen. Many of them are criminals, 230 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: many of them are very dangerous. They're murderers, they're rapists, 231 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: they're sex traffickers, drug traffickers, and they can then because 232 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: we don't have an internal passport system, and thank god 233 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: we don't, they can go to any state they want. 234 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: So effectively, what you've done is you've destroyed the ability 235 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: of a country to protect its own borders and defend 236 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: its own sovereignty. That's why you have to enforce federal 237 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: immigration law. You don't enforce federal immigration law. Literally, you 238 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: don't have a country. And so yes, if Trump wants 239 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: to put a security perimeter fence, as he's trying to 240 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: do now in Chicago, gave broadside to be more accurate, 241 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: a suburb of Chicago. Who the hell is Brandon Johnson Earth, 242 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: that fat swab Golden Corral pigster Pritzker to go in 243 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: there and say you can't and then encourage these anti 244 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: ice militants and ANTIFA to tear the fence down on 245 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: federal property. It's an insurrection. I'm sorry, that's. 246 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 4: What it is. 247 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: It's no different than what the South did before the 248 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: Civil War, and the very same dynamics is playing itself out. 249 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: The Democrats in the South primarily refused to accept the 250 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: election of Lincoln. That's what led to the Civil War, 251 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: and they refused to enact fundamental federal laws. Once Lincoln 252 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: was voted in as president, and so they said, well, 253 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: I don't care. Federal authority be damned, federal government be damned, 254 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: federal law be damned. And that's what led to that's 255 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: literally what led to the Civil War. Now, instead of Lincoln, 256 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: they don't accept the election victory of Trump, and instead 257 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: of slavery and also the tariff both it was actually both. 258 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: Now it's immigration law, illegal aliens. Instead of slave labor, 259 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: it's cheap labor. But it's the same principle. Federal authority 260 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: be damned, federal law be damned, federal sovereignty, federal jurisdiction 261 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: be damned. No, I'm sorry, we cannot allow this to 262 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: happen again. Six one seven two six, six sixty eight 263 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: sixty eight is the number. Okay, just very very quickly, 264 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: A couple lines are open, by the way, six one 265 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight. You know 266 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: a lot of you are making the point on the 267 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: text line, and I have to say it's a very 268 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: interesting and I think a very incisive point where you're saying, yes, Jeff, 269 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: you support Trump. Blow up these boats, go after these 270 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: drug smugglers. Interdict them by land, by sea, on water. 271 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: Do what you have to do to prevent cocaine or 272 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: fentanyl or really these deadly poisons from killing people here 273 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: in our own country, especially our our young people, our youth. However, 274 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: we've been having a war on drugs now for what 275 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: forty forty five years, and sometimes we do better, sometimes 276 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: we do worse. But fundamentally, it's not a supply problem. 277 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: This is the point that many of you are making. 278 00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: It's a demand problem. In other words, you know, we 279 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: can blow up all the supply that we want. If 280 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: Americans by massive numbers want to snort cocaine or you know, 281 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: take you know, take fentanyl or you know, inject themselves 282 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: with heroin, someone is going to make it, and someone's 283 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: going to find a way to smuggle it into the 284 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: United States. Because when there's this kind of a voracious demand, 285 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: this kind of a voracious appetite, almost an unlimited appetite 286 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: for drugs as for whatever reason we have in the 287 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: United States, someone's going to give you the supply. And 288 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: so what we're really doing is playing whack a mole. 289 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: This is, in fact, how one of you phrased it. Yeah, 290 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, you blow up this boat, then you blow 291 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: up that boat. But in the end you're not treating 292 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: the source of the problem, which is why why are 293 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: there so many Americans who have this almost black hole, 294 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: this unlimited hunger first demand to snort cocaine, to take heroin, 295 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: to do fentanyl. What is it that's happening in America? 296 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: Whether it's a moral crisis, a spiritual crisis, for whatever, 297 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: the reason is, why is it? And it's not just America, 298 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: to be fair, it's Canada, it's Europe, it's the West 299 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: in general. What is going on that people have been 300 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: turning to drugs now in a major way for forty 301 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: to fifty sixty years and it's just relentless. It just 302 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: doesn't stop. And so we can have all the war 303 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: on drugs that we want, and we can destroy all 304 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: the poppy fields we want, and all the cocoa, the 305 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: cocaine or the coca fields we want, and we can 306 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: blow up all the boats we want, and we can 307 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: target the headquarters of all the drug cartels we want. 308 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: The problem is there is a huge, almost limitless appetite 309 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 1: for drugs now. I want to open up this question 310 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: to all of you, a do we have a demand problem. 311 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: Is that fundamentally the issue. It's not supply, it's demand. 312 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: And why why? What's your you know, in other words, 313 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: if you've known somebody who's become a drug addict, or 314 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: did drugs, or experimented with drugs, or god forbid overdosed 315 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: on drugs, ohdeed on drugs, why why did they feel 316 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: the need to do it, to take it to the 317 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: point that it cost them everything and in some cases, 318 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: sadly even their life. What is driving this drug epidemic 319 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: here in the United States? And look, I'm against the 320 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: legalization of drugs. I'm against the legalization of marijuana, never 321 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: mind the harder drugs. Please know exactly where I'm coming from. 322 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: But there is quite a few I've been, you know, emails, 323 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm getting messages on messenger, text messages saying this war 324 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: on drugs is ultimately a losing battle, Jeff, because it's 325 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: not a supply problem, it's a demand problem. And as 326 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: long as you have this many people who want to 327 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: continue to take drugs, the best thing that we should do, 328 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: like we do with cigarettes, like we do with alcohol, 329 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: like we've done now with marijuana in most states, is 330 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: legalize it, regulate it, tax it, supervise it if people 331 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: are going to you know, inject themselves with head arrow 332 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: in or some of the harder drugs. But that the 333 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: best thing to do is to legalize it. Why because 334 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: then this will get the drug cartels out of the business, 335 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: the mafia, the mob, the criminals out of the business. 336 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: In other words, the way we now, you know, we've 337 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: legalized cigarettes, we've legalized tobacco. When we ended prohibition, you know, 338 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: the mob got out of the whole boot you know, 339 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: bootlegging business and the liquor business. And that that's what 340 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: we should do regarding drugs. Legalize it. And this way 341 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: you don't empower these drug cartels and these criminals and 342 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: transnational gangs with billions and billions and billions of dollars 343 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: in revenue. I don't agree with that argument, but it's 344 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: an interesting argument, and i'd like to hear from you. 345 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: Six one seven two sex sex sixty eight sixty eight 346 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: is the number Mike in Saugust.

It wasn't even the World Cup. 370 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 4: People want to like, look, so I can imagine nowadays, 371 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 4: you know, with all the other ethnic groups that are 372 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: in this country. We were like, oh, what they do 373 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 4: they'll probably they were saying the same thing about us. Oh, 374 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: but it was unbelievable.

I gotta ask you, 381 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: what do you think of Trump? He's baiting, you know, 382 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: he's putting the proverbial gun to Michelle Woo's head, saying, 383 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: you keep up with the sanctuary city nonsense. You keep 384 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: coddling illegals, you keep allowing crime to run rampant, you 385 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: keep allowing the drugs, the homelessness. Uh. You know, in 386 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: other words, if you want to turn Boston into a 387 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: Third World l hole, you're not going to get the 388 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: World Cup. Now, other cities are hosting it as well, 389 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: it's not just Boston, but you know, you're not going 390 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: to host some of the games that are scheduled to 391 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: come to the I think most of them are going 392 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: to be playing in Jellette. But basically, he's saying Boston 393 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: is not going to be a destination for the World 394 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: Cup in twenty twenty six. And if you don't like 395 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: it blame Michelle wou what say you, Mike. 396 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm hoping it doesn't happen. He's right, But 397 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 4: I'm hoping it doesn't happen because, well, you know what's 398 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 4: going to happen. You know, they're always just going to 399 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 4: go to Providence, you know what I mean, So pro 400 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 4: you know all the people, you know, all the diyning 401 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 4: because obviously Jillette is close to the Providence. So yeah, 402 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 4: we're got to miss out. So I hope it doesn't happen. 403 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 4: But he's right, Well. 404 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I mean, Mike, I'll be honest, I 405 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: would love to see Italy in a World Cup if 406 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: I could actually get ticked gets to see it live. 407 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 4: Wow, my dream.

You know 418 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: what that means, doctor Grace, putting liberals in their place. 419 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: Grace Voto, my better half, my wonderful wife, and yes 420 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: I did marry up and she's a big Italy soccer fan. Grace. 421 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, obviously about drugs and whether 422 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: we should legalize them. That's what many people are now 423 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: saying that the drug war has failed. And yes, Trump 424 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: is blowing up these boats. Good for him, obviously, it's 425 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, he he's going after these drug traffickers and 426 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: drug smugglers, the cocaine, the fentanyl. It's killing one hundred 427 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: thousand Americans every year. But before I get into that topic, 428 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: I've got to ask you you was it two thousand 429 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: and six when Italy won the World Cup and then 430 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: you and your family and your friends, you guys went 431 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: to downtown Montreal and you guys blocked traffic and you 432 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: guys were was it in little Italy? And then you 433 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: guys were dancing to Tarantel in the middle of the 434 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: street blocking traffic? Was that two thousand and six? And 435 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: I know when Italy won the Euros? What is it 436 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago? You guy, you were cheering 437 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: in the house site. Honestly, I thought the roof was 438 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: going to collapse, you were cheering so loud. How do 439 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: you feel about Trump threatening now to take the World 440 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: Cup or those matches designated for Boston for the twenty 441 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 1: twenty six World Cup out of Boston if Michelle WU 442 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: doesn't stop with their soft on crime, pro illegal alien policies. 443 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: Do you support Trump on this? 444 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 5: Jeff, yes, I do. You know, I think there's nothing 445 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 5: more important, no matter what hobby or recreation we might 446 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 5: individually adore, I think there's nothing more important than clapping 447 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 5: down on the crime that we have seen across this 448 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 5: beautiful country and on getting the illegal immigrants to go home. 449 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 5: And look, you know, for all of those who are saying, oh, 450 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 5: you know, we've got to defend these people, you know, 451 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 5: as these activists are doing, remember that there have been 452 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 5: so many messages aired on TV telling illegal immigrants to 453 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 5: go home voluntarily. They're even going to get government assistance 454 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 5: to go home. So, as far as I'm concerned, they're 455 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 5: bringing all of this upon themselves. Those who came illegal 456 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 5: violated our laws and they should just be leaving. And 457 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 5: if they're not going to leave voluntarily, they're going to 458 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 5: be forced out with all of the methods that we 459 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 5: have pampied, and it takes a person like Trump to 460 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 5: enforce our laws. He's doing what no other president has 461 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 5: had the courage to do in this regard. 462 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: Is this also because Italy doesn't seem to be frankly 463 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: very good this year? 464 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 5: You're hilarious. 465 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: You know. 466 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 5: My favorite matches though, are with Italy and Croatia playing 467 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 5: quickly when we win at. 468 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 4: The last minute, will see you from a big. 469 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 5: Who's your dady? Now? 470 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: No moment, Grace, I've got to ask you. There's now 471 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: look Trump now is there's a massive military build up. 472 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: I talked about this in the opening hour of the show. 473 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: It's the biggest build up that we've had in the Caribbean, 474 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: in that part of the world in over three decades. 475 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: The last time we did anything close to this we 476 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: invaded Panama in nineteen eighty nine to oust Manuel Norjega. 477 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: This was under Bush. Forty one ten thousand US troops 478 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: now are there near the Venezuelan border. Three destroyers have 479 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: now been moved into the area, about a dozen F 480 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: thirty five fighter jets. You've got a flotilla of drones, 481 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: you've got spy planes, you've got special forces now right 482 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: on the Venezuelan border. They've now just sent in a 483 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: major Marines expeditionary unit. Clearly, the drums of war are 484 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: now beating. Trump has let it be known he wants 485 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: Maduro to be overthrown. He'd rather the Venezuelan people do 486 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: it themselves. But he is now starting to call for 487 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: regime change. And a major reason is because of all 488 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: of the drugs that Maduro is he helping to flood 489 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: our country with, and the fact now that he is 490 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: literally financially and politically in bed with the drug cartels, 491 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: with trend or Aragua. And Trump is now, as you know, 492 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: blowing up these boats that are smuggling drugs into our country. 493 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: These are Venezuelan boats with Venezuelan narco terrorists, and he's 494 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: blown up six of them, killing twenty seven Venezuelan nationals. 495 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: And so he's hammering the supply side. But many are 496 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: now coming out and saying the war on drugs has 497 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: been a failure. It's been going on for forty years. 498 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: More intensity under Reagan, more intensity under Trump, less intensity 499 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: under Obama. But if you keep going after the supply. 500 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 1: It won't solve the problem because of the demand that 501 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: there's just an insatiable demand in America for whatever reason, 502 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: for cocaine, for heroin, for fentanyl, for the hard drugs, 503 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: you name it, and that really now, maybe the answer 504 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: is to legalize it. What say you? 505 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 5: I think that the legalization of marijuana has been a 506 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 5: complete disaster. There are reports that what we've done so 507 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 5: far has dramatically increased vehicle fatalities, and we're just at 508 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 5: the beginning of doing the research on what these legalization 509 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 5: efforts have done. I don't think we have a choice. 510 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 5: It is one of those issues that you have to 511 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 5: keep fighting it on every front that you possibly can, 512 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 5: because the people that consume these products, they're not just 513 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 5: a threat to themselves. There are threat to others, as 514 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 5: we see with this dramatic increase in people on marijuana 515 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 5: who are killing others with their cars or damaging or 516 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 5: hurting themselves. So I just it's one of those issues, Jeff. 517 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 5: I know people say we just got to throw up 518 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 5: our hands sometimes and legal and then what it's only 519 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 5: gonna It's only going to lead to more crime if 520 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 5: you do that. So that's a that's quickstand. 521 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: Well, let me just play You know, I agree with you, 522 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: but let me just play Devil's advocate. The way we 523 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: got rid of prohibition and we relegalized alcohol, and so 524 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: the argument is, do the same thing with drugs. This 525 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: would get organized crime out of the racket. This would 526 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: end the wealth and the power of the drug cartels. 527 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: And you could tax it, you could regulate it, you 528 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: could treat it like you do alcohol, like you do cigarettes, 529 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: like you do marijuana. Now and this way, you know, yes, 530 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: people will hurt themselves, but people smoke that. Everybody knows 531 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: it causes lung cancer or throat cancer. People do marijuana. 532 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: It causes lung cancer and throat cancer. And apparently now 533 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: it's much more potent now than it was thirty forty 534 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: years ago, much more addictive. So if people want to 535 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: hurt themselves, that's their business. But at least this way, 536 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: if you legalize it, A, we're not waging a war anymore. 537 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: We don't, you know, we're not bombing poppy fields and 538 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:19,959 Speaker 1: cocoa fields and boats with drug smugglers. A. It takes 539 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: that out and b it completely then undercuts the drug cartels. 540 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: So yeah, it doesn't stop crime completely. But it takes 541 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: organized crime out of it, and it doesn't feed them 542 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: billions of dollars a year. What say you? 543 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 5: Honestly, I think it's a preposterous argument, just because, first 544 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 5: of all, we've seen already with marijuana that it doesn't 545 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 5: eliminate the illegal growing and trafficking even of marijuana. So 546 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 5: legalizing these substances, it doesn't stop the illegal trafficking of it, 547 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 5: that's point number one. So what you're going to have 548 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 5: is you're going to have all the problems that you 549 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 5: know due to the addictions of those who are taking 550 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 5: it from a legal purchase, plus you're still going to 551 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 5: have the crime, so you're going to double your problems. 552 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,479 Speaker 5: That's definitely not the solution. And another issue is that 553 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 5: it's very different than alcohol. You know, Jeff, you and 554 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 5: I we come from European families. We were exposed to 555 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 5: alcohol in Canada at a very young age at the 556 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 5: dinner table. It was very customary to be given a 557 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 5: little bit of wine with seven up over dinner, and 558 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 5: we grew up not having much interest in alcohol because 559 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 5: it is not necessarily as addictive as you know, these substances, 560 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 5: I think if they are legal and they are everywhere 561 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 5: the level of addiction is going to be so high. 562 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 5: They're just much much more toxic. And it's not just 563 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 5: that those individuals are going to hurt themselves, which obviously 564 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 5: we care about, but when they are high, they are 565 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 5: a threat to others. So I think you're just going 566 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 5: to compound all of society's woes by doing this. 567 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: We've got about two men. And the reason why I'm 568 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: saying this is this is a bit of a deeper question. 569 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: But why why does the United States? And it's been 570 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: going on now for a while, it's not just a 571 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: recent thing forty fifty, sixty, seventy years and Europe the 572 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: West in general. But let's just focus on America. What 573 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: is Why are there so many Americans who have this 574 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: insatiable appetite, you know, not just marijuana, but heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, 575 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: these hard drugs that are highly addictive and incredibly destructive. 576 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: What's driving this? What's causing this? 577 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 5: Well, Jeff, you know, you and I are historians. You 578 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 5: know there was a four for centuries you had people 579 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 5: that were addicted to opium. So this is not actually 580 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 5: as new as we think it is. There's always been 581 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 5: a segment of society that gravitates towards the hedonistic lifestyle 582 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 5: to the point that they'll do anything. I answer your 583 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 5: question more directly about today. I think why it is 584 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 5: so so widespread is that essentially, children are raised from 585 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 5: a very young age to believe that the purpose of 586 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 5: life is pleasure. This is the fundamental problem. So if 587 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 5: the purpose of life is pleasure, by the time they're teens, 588 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 5: they're going to experiment with sex, and then they're going 589 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 5: to experiment with every single thing you can think of 590 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 5: that they can put into their bodies. And by the 591 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 5: grace of God, some of them escape without getting an addiction, 592 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 5: but too many fall into the trap of addiction. And 593 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 5: so what message are we sending our young people? What 594 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 5: is the reason for their life? You know, if you 595 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 5: ask somebody in the street right now, driving, young person, 596 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 5: why are you alive? What's the reason? What have you 597 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 5: been taught? Well, they're going to say it's to entertain 598 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 5: myself and quote unquote to be happy. 599 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: You know, Grace, it's funny. But as you're talking now, 600 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: I can almost see the spirit of Charlie Kirk going 601 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: through you.
