1
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts.

2
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: Now, is the United States now at war with Venezuela.

3
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 3: There's not a war.

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 4: I mean we are at war against drug trafficking organizations,

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 4: not a war against Venezuela. We are enforcing American laws

6
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 4: with regards to oil sanctions. We have sanctioned entities, we

7
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 4: go to court, we get a warrant, we seize those

8
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: boats with oil, and that will continue, and we will

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 4: continue to reserve the right to take strikes against drug

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 4: boats that are bringing drugs towards the United States that

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 4: are being operated by transnational criminal organizations, including the cartel

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 4: the Les Souls.

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: Of course they're leader.

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 4: The leader of that cartel is now in US custody

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: and facing US justice in the Southern District of New York.

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: And that's Nicholas.

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 5: Now, the big question is what is the impact of

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 5: that action. I think there are a lot of people

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 5: in Venezuela and outside who are celebrating the departure of Maduro.

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 5: She pointed out he was an illegitimately installed a leader,

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 5: a dictator of Venezuela.

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 6: He was involved in drug running for a number of years.

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 5: He's been involved in a lot of criminal activity, and

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 5: so yes, it's good that he is no longer in charge.

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 7: There's a broader concern, and that is that we have

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 7: a moral crisis in this country.

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: Most Americans don't believe.

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 7: In gunboat diplomacy. They don't believe that we can just

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 7: go in with overwhelming military force into a poorer country,

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 7: into a weaker country.

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: And take their oil. And we need to have.

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 8: A reckoning in this country about our values.

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 7: Are we still the moral pillar, the moral beacon to

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 7: the world.

35
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: in the United States. What we're not going to allow

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: by adversaries.

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Of the United States.

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: Why does China need their oil, Why does Russia need

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: their oil? Why does it Ron need their oil? They're

42
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: not even in this continent. This is the Western hemisphere,

43
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 4: this is where we live. They are not going to

44
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 4: come from outside of our hemisphere destabilize our region in

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: our own backyard, and us have to pay the price

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: for it. Not under President Trump.

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Well, you just heard my conversation with Secretary of Rubio.

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: I asked him about the administration's decision not to inform

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: Congress ahead of this operation until President Maduro had been captured.

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 6: Secretary of Rubio.

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: Saying this was not the kind of mission where they

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: could have afforded to notify Congress. There were concerns about leaks.

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: He made that point. President Trump made that point. Was

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: the administration justified in this case and not brief in Congress?

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 9: Well, there's been no evidence that the administration has presented

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 9: to justify the actions that were taken in terms of

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 9: their being an imminent threat to the health, the safety,

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 9: the well being, the national security of the American people.

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: Explain to you what our goals are and how we're

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: going to use the leverage to make it happen. As

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: far as what our legal authority is on the quarantine,

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 4: I'm very simple.

63
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: We have court orders.

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 4: These are sanctioned votes, and we get orders from courts

65
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 4: to go after and seize these sanctions. So I don't know,

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: as a court not a legal authority.

67
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 10: In twenty nineteen, you wrote a not bed and you

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 10: called for Madurea to be gone.

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 11: You said, let's get one thing straight.

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 10: There should no longer be any debate about Madua's lack

71
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 10: of democratic legit legitimacy. The Trump administration is right to

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 10: put restoring Venezuelan democracy at the center of our approach

73
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 10: to this crisis. A return to a stable democracy is

74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 10: in the interest of the Venezuelan people and the United

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 10: States and the hemisphere. We don't know what's going to

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 10: happen with regard to the civilian leadership there Tom Cotton,

77
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 10: which is here saying that he hopes that there are

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 10: democratic elections. Isn't that what you want?

79
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 12: Well, the rest of that article was a criticism of

80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 12: President Trump's early loves to saber rattle around regime change.

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Is the Cuban government the Trump Administration's next target, mister.

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: Secretary very quickly, Well, the Cuban government is a huge problem. Yeah,

83
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 4: the human government is a huge problem for US Cuba.

84
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: But I don't think people fully appreciate. I think they're

85
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: in a lot of trouble. Yes, I'm not going to

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: talk to you about what our future steps are going

87
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: to be and our policies are going to be right

88
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: now in this regard. But I don't think it's any

89
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: mystery that we are not big fans of the Cuban regime, who,

90
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: by the way, are the ones that we're propping up Maduro.

91
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 4: His entire internal security force, his internal security opera apparatus,

92
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 4: is entirely controlled by Cubans. One of the untold stories

93
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: here is how in essence you talk about colonizations, because

94
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: I think you said Dulcia Rodriguez mentioned that the ones

95
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 4: that was sort of colonized, at least inside the regime

96
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: are Cubans. It was Cubans that guarded Maduro. He was

97
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: not guarded by Venezuelan bodyguards. He had Cuban bodyguards. In

98
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: terms of their internal intelligence. Whose spies on who inside

99
00:04:53,920 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: to make sure there are no traders? Those are all Cubans.

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 6: Every day there's a battle for your mind, raging information

101
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 6: coming from every angle, but the will to the sieve,

102
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 6: fear not. You found the place for truth, the voice

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 6: of a generation that still has the will to believe

104
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 6: in the greatest country in the history of the world.

105
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot, here

106
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 6: we go on.

107
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's

108
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: our first show of the new year. I can't tell

109
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: you how excited I was for twenty twenty five to

110
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: come to an end. Joined as always by Blake Neff,

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: the producer on the show, and we are honored to

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: have the great Andy Biggs in studio here in Phoenix, Arizona.

113
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show.

114
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: Thanks Andrew. Great to be with you, and Blake, thank you.

00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: For having Yeah, it's an honor to have you. We

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: thought it was appropriate. You know this your race for

117
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: governor was truly it's hard to put into two words

118
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: actually how important it was to Charlie that you become.

119
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: That was his project twenty twenty six. Project twenty twenty

120
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: six was make Andy Biggs governor of the great state

121
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: of Arizona, State forty eight. And so it just felt

122
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: fitting to have you here. And you know, I was

123
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: prepping for you coming in studio. I was looking at

124
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: the polling and I was the latest one from Emerson

125
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: has you up like huge in the UH. I want

126
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: to get the actual the actual number here Pick one

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: fifty two has you at fifty percent within the GOP primary.

128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: So that's I mean, this is the last independent poll

129
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: that we have to go off of in this primary.

130
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: So things are looking good.

131
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and you know I tipped my hat to

132
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: Charlie and and I'm working hard in not just for

133
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: the state, but because Charlie was a friend and he

134
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: went out on a limb to support me, and so

135
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 3: so we're going to win big for Charlie and.

136
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: The polls will do look good. The polls look good.

137
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: How many you weers just telling me, how many independent

138
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: polls have there been, you know, conducted on this race.

139
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: I believe it's seventeen and I've led by at least

140
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: thirty points.

141
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: In every one of those. Oh, God, bless you. That's great.

142
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: So we're very excited about that. We're going to get

143
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: into some Arizona specifics in just a few minutes here.

144
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: But we have so much breaking news over this holiday break,

145
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: this holiday weekend. Of course, you know, the big news

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: is that Nicholas Maduro has been deposed the dictator of Venezuela.

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: He is being arraigned right now in a Manhattan courthouse,

148
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: federal courthouse. You know, there has been much made about

149
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: the fact that Congress, you're still a sitting congressman, was

150
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: kept in the dark about this. What do you think

151
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: about that as a member of Congress.

152
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: Well, so we're gonna get brief this week, but let's

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: just face the facts. I have literally sat in the

154
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: skiffs where they've had all of Congress sitting there and

155
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: walked out, And for some reason, somehow the media is

156
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: telling the world exactly what I just heard in the

157
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: skiff Yees, Congress leaks like a sieve, and that was

158
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: that was wise.

159
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, so let's let's play this clip one fifty six.

160
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 2: Was the administration justified in this case and not brief

161
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: in Congress?

162
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 9: Well, there's been no evidence that the administration has presented

163
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 9: to justify the actions that were taken in terms of

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 9: their being an imminent threat to the health, the safety,

165
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 9: the well being, the national security of the American people.

166
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: So you've got the minority leader here, Hakim Jefferies, saying

167
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: there was no eminent threat and that Congress should have

168
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: been briefed. So your your response to your colleague in

169
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: the House.

170
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: Then, well, Number one, he didn't answer the question because

171
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: he knows Congress should not have been pre briefed. Number two,

172
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 3: that's not the legal standard. He knows that's not the

173
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: legal standard. He's going to try to distract because that's

174
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: their mantra. Everything is bad. They didn't question with Nordiega

175
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: in Panama, which is the case law that we rely

176
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: on on. Uh yeah, I think he was bogus from

177
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: start to finish, but that's Hakem's way.

178
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 13: Yeah.

179
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: So there's a larger issue here because you're kind of

180
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: you're in America first guy. You are, you know, part

181
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: of this larger coalition. We are not neocons. You are

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: not about foreign adventurism. And it's a question that we

183
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: all sort of have to grapple it with. And you know,

184
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: I thought Rubio put this very well. I'm going to

185
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: play a clip here, have you respond to it where

186
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: he's talking about basically the Monroe doctrine and Western Hemisphere

187
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: dominant Donro, doctor don Ro, doctor new, the.

188
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 13: New, the new.

189
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Trump, get the Donroe doctrine. I don't know.

190
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 4: We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil

191
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: in the United States. What we're not going to allow

192
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled

193
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: by adversaries.

194
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: Of the United States.

195
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: You have to understand why does China need their oil,

196
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: Why does Russia need their oil, Why does it Ron

197
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: need their oil. They're not even in this continent. This

198
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: is the Western hemisphere, this is where we live. They

199
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere

200
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have

201
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 4: to pay the price for it, not under President Trump.

202
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that was a pretty good

203
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: articulation essentially of the Monroe doctrine. Where do we draw

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: the line, Congressman, And where do you draw the line

205
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: on when we should get involved when we shouldn't, And

206
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: how does this one sit? You know, it feels like

207
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: the comparisons to Iraq and Afghanistan are not apt here,

208
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: they're unfair comparisons. But we still want to be cautious,

209
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: skeptical and not given to foreign adventures and the neocons. Yeah.

210
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: Right, So the first thing to remember is Maduro was indicted.

211
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: This was a legal issue, and what you're going to

212
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: find is that the FEDS now took them over legally.

213
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: So the second that the military essentially had control of Maduro,

214
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: they gave them to the law enforcement. That kind of

215
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: obviates all of those other issues. The question now is

216
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: going forward, what do you do and do you leave

217
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: a vacuum there for China, which literally was meeting in

218
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: Venezuela at the time to do what to take over

219
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 3: the oil just the way they've they've done the Alternate

220
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: Canal and Panama, the way they the way they are

221
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: trying to basically take over. So so for us, it's

222
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: not it shouldn't be viewed as a typical American adventurism

223
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: type of issue. What we're doing is we're enforcing the

224
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: law from a guy who was the head of a

225
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: cartel that was that was coming after the US. Yeah.

226
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I think that's well said. I mean, the the reaction

227
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: has been mixed. You know, Blake, you're the contrarian in

228
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: the room. I mean, you know, what, what are your

229
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: concerns and what do you have a defense of the

230
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: administration's act?

231
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 14: Well, the best, frankly, the best defense is that so

232
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 14: far it's worked very well. I think that stands apart

233
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 14: because the biggest argument against most interventions is they're unpredictable.

234
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 14: They can have a lot of downside, and the upside

235
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 14: isn't always as clear as it seems.

236
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: So far, it looks pretty straightforward.

237
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 14: They got Maduro out quickly, there were no casualties on

238
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 14: our side, and ideally they could install a friendly government

239
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 14: in Venezuela and we're in a better situation. My concern

240
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 14: would be right now, we still don't actually run Venezuela.

241
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 14: I know the President said we're going to run it,

242
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 14: but right now we just spirited out one guy. So

243
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 14: we either have to threaten them into making concessions or

244
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 14: we're going to need more military effort there. And at

245
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 14: that point you're asking, Okay, are US troops in Venezuela

246
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 14: long term? Are they trying to control the interior of

247
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 14: the country. How difficult is that? Those are questions that

248
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 14: are still going to need to be answered, and those

249
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 14: are the ones Charlie would care about as well.

250
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And a reporter asked the main question Congressman here,

251
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: that is why is running Venezuela America? First? President Trump

252
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: was asked about this at the press conference one thirty six.

253
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 7: Rusid why is running a country in South America America?

254
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 11: First?

255
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 15: Well, I think it is because we want to surround

256
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 15: ourselves with good neighbors. We want to surround ourselves with stability,

257
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 15: We want to surround ourselves with energy. We have tremendous

258
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 15: energy in that country. It's very important that we protect it.

259
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 15: We need that for ourselves, we need that for the world.

260
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: So that really does become the central question I think

261
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: the success of this is going to be determined in

262
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: the coming weeks and months ahead. You know, to Blake's point,

263
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: how costly is this going to be from a military standpoint,

264
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: from just a cost of doing this? And will the

265
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: people still in charge in Venezuela, will they seed control,

266
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: will they cooperate? Will that transition happen? Well, we don't

267
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: have a great track record of that, but President Trump

268
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: does not have a bad track record, That's right.

269
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: And I would just say that nation building is not

270
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: what we should be engaged in here, and I don't

271
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: think that's what the president intends. And don't forget that ostensibly,

272
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: pre Hugo Chavez, you have Venezuela was a democratic regime.

273
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 3: They had regular, good elections. Even Chavez and Maduro nodded

274
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: to elections, right, So, so but maybe what we want

275
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: to do is just make sure they have good elections,

276
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: and if they get good elections, then we can work

277
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: with them.

278
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: You're tempting me to go down a rabbit hole here, Well,

279
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: we'll go all the other side of the break.

280
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,239
Speaker 14: We should talk about it's worth talking about that discussion

281
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 14: on who should run Venezuela because President Trump's reaction has

282
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 14: been it's been very trump like I will yeah, well,

283
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 14: I mean.

284
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Listen, whether we said it out loud or not, you

285
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: go depose a dictator. You got to have a hand

286
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: in the transition. You have to. We'll be right back

287
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: more with Andy Biggs on The Charlie Kirk Show. All right,

288
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: welcome back to the stream and to the podcast. A

289
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: little exclusive here for the audience that doesn't know. Andy,

290
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: tell us why you are running for governor of Arizona.

291
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: So I've got a vision for the state of Arizona

292
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: to restore the American dream, which has been priced out

293
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: here in Arizona by this governor, the current governor, Katie Hobbs.

294
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: And so she took down border protections for Pete's sakes,

295
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: and so we'll restore border protection so we're the safest

296
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: state in the country again. But we'll also put the

297
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: American dream back out there. So young people. This really

298
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: gets to me. They can buy a house, they can

299
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: afford to buy a house, and we won't have sticker

300
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: prices since that cause shock. We're going to create jobs again.

301
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: She's she's taken us down andrew as far as job

302
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: creation from the fourth highest in the country to number

303
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 3: forty seven. That's the problem that we have. She's not

304
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: doing anything with our infrastructure, she's not doing anything with

305
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: our education system. She's basically hermetized herself except for some

306
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: radical environmental issues where she's gone after this her own state,

307
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: trying to stop our economic development growth.

308
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: That's shocking. Actually, you know, a lot of the sticker shock.

309
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, somebody is newer to the state

310
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: has actually impressed me, Like I've been floored at how

311
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: expensive some of the just basic items, the rent, the

312
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: housing market is in at least where people want to

313
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: actually live, you know. And you know, is some of

314
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: that because we're just getting flooded with Californians, like you

315
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: know myself.

316
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: That some of it is that, but that's not The

317
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: demand is high. But historically we've always met that demand

318
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: and been able to keep prices rational. But what she

319
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: did is this governor imposed land and water management restriction areas.

320
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: So in the Phoenix metro area in some places you

321
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: can't even build a single family home because of her restrictions.

322
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: So prices get jacked up. Transport prices because so much

323
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 3: it has got to be done by gas, and we don't

324
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: have any natural gas resources we have to basically pipe

325
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: in from California and Texas, and we're at capacity right now,

326
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: and we've We've got a great jobber who wants to expand,

327
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: but this is the mayor of Phoenix, and the and

328
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 3: the state will not let him expand he wants to

329
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: do on his own dime for Pete's sakes, and this

330
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 3: would give us greater storage, which help bring down gas

331
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: gas prices overall.

332
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just feels like to your point that a

333
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: lot of this is just a regulation issue, it's a

334
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: green new scam issue.

335
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 14: It's an anti it's just kind of hatred of civilization,

336
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 14: hatred of development, and hatred of gada, anti human, I

337
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 14: would say, Santia.

338
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: Sorry, this is a total wild card.

339
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 14: But while we're talking about maybe bossing around Latin American countries,

340
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 14: I know for the long term growth of Phoenix, the

341
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 14: biggest concern is always water, and I've read a lot

342
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 14: that the best thing to do to get water for

343
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 14: Phoenix is you build a desalination plant in Mexico and

344
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 14: you pipe it here. And it's basically regulatory apocalypse that

345
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 14: would prevent this from ever happening. But while it's on

346
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 14: the table could we get in Mexico to help us

347
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 14: with that.

348
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: Actually, there is a there is a plan to bring

349
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 3: it up from sea if Cortes and they've got they

350
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: have some of their permits. Now the question is, since

351
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 3: Mexico's ostensibly run by cartels, and I asked the operators

352
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: at this company, what are gonna do about the cartels

353
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: and they said, well, we're an Israeli company and we're

354
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 3: going to work with some Israeli security forces. And Okay,

355
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 3: that's interesting. That's that's very interesting. But I'll tell you

356
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: Blake and Andrew. What people need to understand is even

357
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: Katie Hobbs's own water resources department say, we have six

358
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: to seven hundred million acre feet of water underground in Arizona,

359
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: but they just don't allow us to access it and

360
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: treat it here and get it into the stream. That

361
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: by the way, that's about three hundred years supply at

362
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: growth levels, including UH industry. But it gets again to

363
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: management and and stopping the myth that she's created that

364
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: we have no water.

365
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: M see a Cortes israel security forces. Lisa, this is

366
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: a complicated. Uh, that's I didn't know that.

367
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: I see I see a mini series movies.

368
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 14: It's one of the funny things. Israel is really good

369
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 14: at making their own water.

370
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, yeah, they have a lot of experience

371
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: with that. They they made the desert blossom certainly. Uh

372
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: we when we welcome back the full feed here in

373
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: just a second, I want to get into some Arizona

374
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: specific I want to get into this polling. This I

375
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: mentioned to when you walked into the office that there

376
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: is a an Emerson Poles. Now it's it's a little

377
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: dated now it's November. It's the last independent pole that

378
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: we have Kate Hobbes. And again this is general. We

379
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: don't want to look past the primary, but Katie Hobbs

380
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: is winning on an economic head to head, which just

381
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: floors me because it's obviously untrue. But it's but this

382
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: could be a perception. One second, we'll be right back,

383
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: all right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show Andrew

384
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: Colvet with Blake Neff joined by the Great Andy Biggs,

385
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: the next governor of the Great State of Arizona. So

386
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: head to head. You know, again, I don't want to

387
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: look past the primary, but you are dominating in the

388
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: primary polls, which is going to continue we're going to

389
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: help make sure that that happens to the best of

390
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: our ability. But this was what floored me, and a

391
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: head to head with Katie Hobbs, they have you know,

392
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: they say the first top issue is the economy, considered

393
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: the top issue facing the state thirty four percent of voters,

394
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: followed by immigration eighteen, threats to democracy eleven, housing affordability ten,

395
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: education nine, and healthcare nine. In a matchup between Hobbes

396
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: and Biggs, voters who say the economy is their top

397
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: issue break for Hobbs forty five to forty one percent,

398
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: which and by the way, those who find immigrations should

399
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: be the top issue break for Bigs eighty one to

400
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: six percent. So why do you think that that is

401
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: and what's the message to fix that?

402
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to comprehend it, except for I think

403
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: some people they like on economy, they think they're in

404
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: the status quo. They don't really like to see change.

405
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 3: They're quite sure what's going to happen. And the reality

406
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: is we're going to deal with income taxes. Our income

407
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: taxes are pretty low two and a half percent flat tax.

408
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: We're going to reduce those significantly. As the governor. People

409
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: also have a concern about property taxes. We're going to

410
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: have a plan to reduce property taxes as well. And uh,

411
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: I just think that people they they sense that they

412
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: should be doing better and they're not doing as well

413
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: as they'd like. And that's a reflection that comes that

414
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: is the Republicans in charge now, and we've got to

415
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: be better.

416
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: So we're holding the bag for the last four years

417
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: of terribleness under Biden basically and the inflationary environment that

418
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: was created. And I mean, listen, things are too expensive.

419
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: But the way you get those prices down or at least,

420
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, real earnings start to outstrip inflation, even even

421
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: the inflation under Biden. During the Biden years, you got

422
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: to have a pro growth candidate in office. It's it

423
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: is boggling to me that you are the pro growth candidate.

424
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: You are obviously the candidate that is going to be

425
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: expanding housing permits, expanding, you know, decreasing the cost of

426
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: doing business, making this more of a pro growth state,

427
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: pro jobs, obviously, more income, more tax base, all of

428
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: those things. She's the anti growth candidate. So she's the

429
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: one that's stopping Arizona from being unleashed to its full

430
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: potential and here you go. People people are I think

431
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: taking it out on anybody within our nex to their

432
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: name because we're still getting out from under the Joe Biden.

433
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 3: Years exactly right. I mean, inflation under Biden was about

434
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 3: real inflation is about twenty two percent. Trump's taking it down.

435
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: Real inflation rate under him is a little over one

436
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: point actually, But but we got so high and people

437
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: wanted it bent down and the reality is we got

438
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: to catch up to the level of inflation.

439
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: You see that with that GDP number that came out

440
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: just before Christmas, it was a four point three percent growth,

441
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: which actually outstrips inflation. So real wages, real incomes are

442
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: going up. This we're on the right path. This ship

443
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: does not turn overnight, but we are on the right

444
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: path now hopefully. I mean Charlie was always very clear

445
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: about this. We are we're in a race against time exactly.

446
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: We have to show that these ideas and we have

447
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: to do it quickly so the electorate starts feeling the

448
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: relief in their their their pocketbooks. What other issues do

449
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: you want our audience to know about and how do

450
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: they get behind your campaign to support you?

451
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: Well, so I think it's important for them to understand

452
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: that we have to use our resources in the state.

453
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: So when I talk about tax policy, or I talk

454
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: about water or land policy, all of those can be

455
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: a miliative to our our current affordability issue, because that's

456
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: what it is. Uh, you know, if we don't fix that,

457
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: Andrew like, we're not gonna we're not going to win this.

458
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: And but it's going to turn around in the in

459
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 3: this first quarter, probably because of the big beautiful bill

460
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: and and some new tax breaks coming in that. Yeah.

461
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 3: So so we're going to uh make sure that we're

462
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 3: the safest state. We restore the the American dream. But

463
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 3: I have a vision for the state. I'm not going

464
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 3: to veto everything that the legislature does because they also

465
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 3: are have some great ideas that need to happen that

466
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: this governor is killing. But if you want to get

467

475
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: passion going into twenty twenty six, and Arizona has to

476
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: be a red state. It is a red state. It

477
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: went for Trump by nearly six points. Turning point. Action

478
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,080

484

Speaker 3: He Thanks Andrew, Thanks Blake, and I look forward to

485
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: serving the state again here in the state.

486
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: Well, we got a lot of work ahead of us

487
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: this year, but it's going to be fun, and we're

488
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna be behind you, and we're gonna get it done.

489
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna be transitioning to Maduro and Venezuela. Next segment,

490
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere.

491
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 8: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news Break. I'm

492
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 8: Terrence Bates.

493
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 16: Deposed Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro is answering to a judge

494
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 16: in New York City right now. Today's hearing is Maduro's

495
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 16: first court appearance after being taken into custody by US

496
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 16: officials over the weekend. Madua and his wife are facing

497
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 16: narco terrorism charges. Lawyers representing the former Venezuelan leader are

498
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 16: expected to contest the legality of his arrest and argue

499
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 16: that he's immune from prosecution as a sovereign head of state.

500
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 16: In the meantime, US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike

501
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 16: Waltz spent part of his mourning explaining the US's actions

502
00:26:58,760 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 16: to his colleagues.

503
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 17: Nicholas Maduro is responsible for attacks on the people of

504
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 17: the United States, for destabilizing the Western Hemisphere and illegitimately

505
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 17: repressing the people of Venezuela. As Secretary Rubio has said,

506
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 17: there is no war against Venezuela or its people. We

507
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 17: are not occupying a country. This was a law enforcement operation.

508
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 16: And in other headlines just into our newsroom, Minnesota governor

509
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 16: and failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walls will not

510
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 16: seek reelection. The embattled Democrat made the announcement just a

511
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 16: short time ago and has addressing the issue or did

512
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 16: address the issue.

513
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 8: Excuse me during this news.

514
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 16: Conference that you're looking at Democrat. US Senator Amy Klobishar

515
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 16: is reportedly mulling a run for governor to replace Waltz.

516
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 16: Republican and staunch Trump's supporter Mike Lindell also in the race.

517
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 16: Waltz's decision comes amid heightened scrutiny over the state's handling

518
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 16: of multimillion dollar childcare fraud under his administration. Waltz now

519
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 16: trying to shift the blame to Republicans, writing quote, the

520
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 16: political gamesmanship that we're seeing from Republicans is only making

521
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 16: that fight harder to win. Today's announcement is a bit

522
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 16: of a surprise after Walls confirmed that he planned to

523
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 16: run for reelection just a few months ago, and protesters

524
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 16: are questioning the legality of Nicholas Maduro's arrest. There is

525
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 16: precedent for this sort of action, though you may remember

526
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 16: Panama's Manuel Noriega was arrested and tried in similar circumstances

527
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 16: following the nineteen ninety US invasion of that country. That's

528
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 16: a quick check of your headlines.

529
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 11: I'm Terrence.

530
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 6: Democracy lives in light Charlie Kirk Show.

531
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. It

532
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: was great with Andy Biggs. We're honored to have him

533
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: going to be the next governor of the great State

534
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: of Arizona. But we have so much news that is

535
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: Tim wallas Is yeah, announced that he is not running

536
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: first governor brought down by a YouTuber and apparently he

537
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: is very upset. This morning held a press conference. We'll

538
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: get some of those clips, but they he didn't take

539
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: any questions. The reporters are very upset that he didn't

540
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: take questions. So that's happening. Obviously. We have the Maduro arraignment.

541
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: We're going to have David Zier from Real America's Voice

542
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: reporting live outside the courthouse in Manhattan. We have the

543
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: un IS condemning President Trump's Oh no Venezuela.

544
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 10: Yeah.

545
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: You have Somalia sort of leading the charge, which is

546
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: an irony offes and Liberia was getting in on the action.

547
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: Pete haig Seth initiates proceedings to demote US Senator Mark Kelly,

548
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: a retired captain over his seditious six videotelling soldiers to

549
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: refuse illegal orders. So all of that is happening and more.

550
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: But I do want to just sort of start here

551
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: blake at the at this baseline that This was an

552
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: incredibly impressive precision attack where no US troops were killed.

553
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: We had no military equipment that was lost. One helicopter

554
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: was shot, but it maintained its flyability, and it seemed

555
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: to be just executed at a level that no other

556
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: nation perhaps could even match. China and Russia are probably

557
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: looking on going.

558
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think that's the most that's the immediate, most

559
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 14: impressive thing you can remember.

560
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, Russia did their attack on Ukraine.

561
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 14: They also tried to go for not really a kidnapping

562
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 14: but a decapitation strike. They landed troops in Kiev. It

563
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 14: seemed their belief was and frankly, the belief in the

564
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 14: West also at the time, was that Ukraine would collapse quickly.

565
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 14: We apparently offered Tavzelenski flee the country, like we thought

566
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 14: the whole thing would collapse in a matter of days,

567
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 14: and Russia thought that as well, and it didn't work out,

568
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 14: and they're more almost four years later, hundreds of thousands dead,

569
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 14: and that's still ongoing. So by comparison successfully spearing out Maduro,

570
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 14: it's now coming out that last night, I believe that

571
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 14: he had this sort of Cuban Praetorian guard.

572
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 13: Yeah.

573
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 14: Apparently apparently thirty plus Cubans were killed in US capturing him.

574
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that is like the interesting part. I mean,

575
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: you had Cuba, Venezuela turned into essentially a playground for

576
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: all the world's worst actors, right China, Iran, Cuba, Russia.

577
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: They were all trying to get access to the mineral

578
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: riches that exist within Venezuela. And it's fascinating to watch

579
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: the left wing reaction to it, where everybody seems to

580
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: be very upset that America is going in, that Trump's

581
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: being honest, that we're going to control We're going to

582
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: the oil fields that we're axpropriated from American oil companies

583
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: back when Hugo Shavs took over, that we're going to

584
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: take those back, and that we are going to share

585
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: the revenues with the people of Venezuela. But Americans are

586
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: going to get their recompense. So it people are upset

587
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: about that. But I actually I've been thinking about this

588
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: all week and long, and the fact that we are

589
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: asserting dominance in the Western Hemisphere. It feels like a

590
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: return to sanity from years of foreign adventurism in Iraq, Afghanistan,

591
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: other places that have been catastrophic that have been terrible

592
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: for our country, terrible for our coffers, costs US blood

593
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: and soil and lives and so this but this does

594
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: feel different. It's you know, people don't realize how close

595
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: Venezuela hold on. I mean it's in the Western hemisphere.

596
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: They don't realize how close it is to Miami. It's

597
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: like a two hour flight to Miami from Caracas. And

598
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you if Venezuela fell into control of

599
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: foreign agitators like China, which China was there visiting the

600
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: day it happened and the day before it happened. So

601
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: it does feel like the then question is how do

602
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: you sell this to the American people when they're struggling

603
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: to afford gas and groceries? Right that that is a

604
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: fair question to ask, and I mean people do need

605
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: to understand that when you control oil resources, mineral resources,

606
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: energy resources within the Western hemisphere, that will ultimately make America,

607
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: say for more secure place. But the question then becomes,

608
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: we are running Venezuela, that is, or at least in theory,

609
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: we are, and that is gonna that's gonna be a

610
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: tough pill to swallow for the American first crowd.

611
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 14: Well, well again, I think right now the vibe is

612
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 14: very good, and the vibe is very good because it

613
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 14: was easy, there were no losses.

614
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: They got their guy, they got out.

615
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 14: Everything looks extremely smooth, especially in comparison to Russia's own

616
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 14: failed military aps, especially compared to our failed endeavors in

617
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 14: the Middle East. This is clearly better. But our endeavors

618
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 14: in the Middle East looked better early on when we

619
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 14: took down the Taliban. They crumbled in a matter of

620
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 14: weeks and we took over the whole country. And then

621
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 14: it was the following twenty years where everything went horribly wrong.

622
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 14: And Venezuela, it's a big country. It's got four I

623
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 14: think forty million people. Eight people left, and so we'll

624
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 14: say a known number of people, then a lot of people.

625
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 14: A lot of it is rainforest, a lot of it

626
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 14: is mountain, a lot of it is urban healthscape, not

627
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 14: well controlled. It's not a super it's it's not like

628
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 14: taking over Japan or something where it's a pretty orderly society.

629
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: It's a chaotic society.

630
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 14: It has some of the highest murder rates in the

631
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 14: world some years, and it will be, especially when it's

632
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 14: super easy early on. You have to to worry about

633
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 14: that temptation to get more invested. Oh, if we put

634
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 14: two thousand troops here, it'll be okay. If we've had

635
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 14: a few more, we can get this under control. You're

636
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 14: going to have to resist that temptation to get too involved,

637
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 14: either in monetary terms or in military investment terms, and

638
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 14: so I think we'll have to watch out for that.

639
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 14: You'll also have to make sure you don't, in my opinion,

640
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 14: over learn from how easy it is. So you've seen

641
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 14: some takes, Okay, well, is Cuba?

642
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: Next? Is Mexico?

643
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: Next?

644
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: Is Colombia?

645
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 3: Next?

646
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: Should we just forcibly seize Greenland?

647
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 14: I would say, make sure Venezuela is actually a success

648
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 14: before you start looking for new things to do. And

649
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 14: we were talking during the break that after Afghanistan and

650
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 14: after the initial Iraq takeover as well, there was a

651
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 14: lot of arrogance that, oh, we can remake the Middle

652
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 14: East to our will. Max boot I think he's still

653
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 14: at the Washington Post, but he was this neo kan guy,

654
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 14: and you can find his essays from that period where

655
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 14: he's saying, yeah, we could topple Syria we could topple Iran,

656
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 14: we could topple Saudi Arabia. He actually goes a little

657
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 14: mad with power about all the countries that we could

658
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 14: take out with our unlimited military might.

659
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: I would always say, calm down.

660
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 14: Remember what is truly America first, and what is most

661
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 14: America first is not getting us involved in foreign quagmires.

662
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 14: As long as this is not a foreign quagmire, that's great.

663
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 14: It's great if we're able to turn an extremely anti

664
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 14: American regime in our backyard into a pro American regime

665
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 14: in our backyard at minimal cost. If it's true that

666
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 14: this is a fragile regime, you take out the top

667
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 14: guy and you can use your blockade to pressure them

668
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 14: into something much more friendly. That is good, but be

669
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 14: careful because there will people. There will be people who

670
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 14: try to sell us on a much bigger involvement, a

671
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 14: much more expensive intervention, and if we get into that,

672
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 14: it's harder to get out than it is to get in.

673
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 14: That's where you get the potential for negative effects for America,

674
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 14: and let's be frank, negative effects politically. If this is

675
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 14: a big win a year from now, it helps the

676
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 14: Trump administration helps us in the midterms. But if this

677
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 14: is if this has become a conflict where US troops

678
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 14: are getting killed, where there's no obvious way out, then

679
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 14: it's going.

680
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: To be bad. Well, to your point, this is what

681
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: makes I think a lot of people nervous. You got

682
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham, we're grabbing the clip here. You just wait

683
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: for Cuba. He says, Cuba is a communist dictatorship that's

684
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: killed priests and nuns. They've preyed on their own people.

685
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: Their days are numbered. So now we are talking big, talking,

686
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: big game. Lindsay Graham at it again, neocon of neocons,

687
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: licking his chops at another possible invasions. By the way,

688
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: he's flanked by President Trump and Commerce Secretary of Lutnik

689
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: while he's saying this in a press gaggle. So that's

690
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: not a good sign. But you know, and you've got

691
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: President Trump talking about Columbia saying he needs to watch

692
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: his backside to say in a nice yeah, President Columbia.

693
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: So there are questions here, but certainly, and we need

694
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: to I think it's listen, it's important to be skeptical

695
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: because this stuff tends to spiral out of control. If

696
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: this can be done in a clean way. One of

697
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: the things that I'm encouraged by is the fact that

698
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: you have the Venezuelan diaspora, whether that's in New York

699
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: City or Florida or Argentina. These people are taking to

700
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: the streets by the tens and tens of thousands celebrating

701
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: the fall of Nicholas Maduro, who was a bad guy

702
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: and who stole the election, who has militarized the military,

703
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: which is against the people of Venezuela. The extreme poverty

704
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: rate in Venezuela's over fifty percent. Their oil production has

705
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: fallen off a cliff, their inflation has been through the roof.

706
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: People can't afford jobs. They're eating cats and dogs literally

707
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: in the street. And so this was a dictatorship that

708
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: held on to power, and as Andy Biggs described it,

709
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: he is a head of a cartel. Essentially, it's a

710
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: thug based sort of boss style mafiosa mafiosa tactic to

711
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: maintain control of the country of Venezuela. It's a good

712
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: thing that Maduro is gone. But what's interesting here is

713
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: that you have all these clips now coming out from

714
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: Democrats who before were talking tough on Venezuela. But now

715
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: that Maduro's gone at the hands of Trump, it's suddenly

716
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: a bad thing. Right, So let's play one fifty four.

717
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: This is Democrat Chris Murphy doing exactly that.

718
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 10: In twenty nineteen, you wrote a not beed and you

719
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 10: called for Maduro to be gone. You said, let's get

720
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 10: one thing straight. There should no longer be any debate

721
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 10: about Maduro's lack of democratic, legitimate legitimacy. The Trump administration

722
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 10: is right to put restoring Venezuelan democracy at the center

723
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 10: of our approach to this crisis. A return to a

724
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 10: stable democracy is in the interest of the Venezuelan people

725
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 10: and the United States and the hemisphere. We don't know

726
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 10: what's going to happen with regard to the civilian leadership

727
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 10: there Tom Cotton, which is here saying that he hopes

728
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 10: that there are democratic elections.

729
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 11: Isn't that what you want?

730
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 12: Well, the rest of that article, right, was a criticism

731
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 12: of President Trump's early moves to saber rattle around regime change.

732
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: And not only that, but in Joe Biden put a

733
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar bounty on Nicholas Muduro's head. So

734
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: this is Joe Biden twenty five million dollars and now

735
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: you have Democrat after Democrat after Democrat that is in it.

736
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is guilty of this quem, Jeffreys, Chris Murphy,

737
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: many that are now going back on that saying this

738
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: is bad. Yeah, obviously they're going to be hypocrites.

739
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 14: That's just inevitable with Congress.

740
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: I feel people about you though it's less interesting.

741
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 14: We should focus, in my opinion, if it won't matter

742
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 14: if Democrats are hypocrites, if this is a win for us,

743
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 14: because the win will overshadow whatever dumb stuff they do.

744
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: And if this is a disaster for.

745
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 14: Us, the fact that they were hypocrites is definitely not

746
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 14: going to bail us out from that. So the number

747
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 14: one focus always is make sure that this intervention is

748
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 14: not damaging to America. Make sure we achieve the America

749
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 14: first goal. That has to be the number one focus,

750
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 14: not winning any social media fight.

751
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see the way this plays out. Certainly,

752
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: hopefully the sayer voices prevail and we don't expand this

753
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: too much. But again, I think I agree with what

754
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: something Jonathan Turley actually wrote that whether we set it

755
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: out loud that we were going to be running Venezuela

756
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: or not. The truth was we were going to be

757
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: running Venezuela. After you do a mission like this, you

758
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: got to see it through and you got to make

759
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: sure the transition happens, which is a big if, which

760
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: a big if. We'll be right back.

761
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 6: Lentless in spirit. You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show.

762
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: All right. Private student loan debt in the US totals

763
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: about three hundred billion dollars, and forty five billion of

764
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: that is labeled as distressed. Why Refi Refinance is distressed

765
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: or defaulted private student loans that others won't touch. They

766
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: provide you with a custom loan payment based on your

767
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: ability to pay, and that is the key to why

768
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: why Refi is the best in the business and why

769
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: you need to check them out. They are going to

770
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: custom tailor a solution for you, so based on your

771
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: ability to pay. What's your monthly budget, what's your monthly expenses?

772
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: What can you afford? They also guarantee interest rates under

773
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,480

00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,279

792
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: the federal courthouse where Nicholas Maduro has just pleaded not guilty,

793
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: not guilty, saying he's a decent man. I mean, regardless

794
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: of whether you support this intervention in Venezuela, regardless of

795
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: how it plays out, Nicholas Mduro is not a decent man,

796
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm a decent non By the way, some of my

797
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: favorite parts of the videos playing over the weekend was,

798
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, Maduro like saying, come at me, now, come now, coward,

799
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: and and you know, and then he gets you know,

800
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: they fast.

801
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 14: Apparently they changed his clothes ten times in a twenty

802
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 14: four hour window, like he keeps having a different outfit

803
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 14: every time he's spotted.

804
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh really, just to kind of I have no idea.

805
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: It's probably some Cuban uh praetorian guard defense measure that they've.

806
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 14: No no, this is, this is since we got him,

807
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 14: they keep changing his outfit apparelly fascinating.

808
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: David Zeer, live from Manhattan, joins us. Next, don't go anywhere?

809
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: Ye all right? Why we get David Zeer up and running?

810
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: They're connecting his feed right now, I'm told, uh, let's

811
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: just talk about this too. Nicholas Muduro was given multiple

812
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: off ramps, and he favoed.

813
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 18: Nicholas Maduro had his chance, just like Iran had their chance.

814
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 18: Until they didn't, and until he didn't. He left around

815
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 18: and he found out President Trump is deadly soon curious

816
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 18: about stopping the flow of gangs and violence to our country.

817
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 18: Deadly serious about stopping the flow of drugs and poison

818
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 18: to our people, deadly serious about getting back the oil

819
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 18: that was stolen from us, and deadly serious about re

820
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 18: establishing American deterrence and dominance in the Western hemisphere. This

821
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 18: is about the safety, security, freedom, and prosperity of the

822
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 18: American people.

823
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:33,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. I think the biggest challenge is going

824
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: to be communicating why this is good for America. I

825
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: think that's going to be I think the America for.

826
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 14: A challenge, although I don't as long as it remains

827
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 14: a clear win, that will be easier than it thinks.

828
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 14: Like I think, we took out a guy, and we

829
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 14: did it in one night with a few special forces,

830
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 14: and we took no losses. Makes it a lot easier

831
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 14: to make that sell as long as that remains what

832
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 14: has happened, Especially if we follow up with a government

833
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 14: that is friendly to the United States and we can

834
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 14: point towards stuff.

835
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: It's going to be a harder sell the more there

836
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: is clear downside to it.

837
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 14: So that's why you have to avoid getting in masched,

838
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 14: you have to avoid getting US servicemen killed, and even

839
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 14: just the jump from zero two one is.

840
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: Going to be very important in that regard.

841
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 14: If this is a thing where US soldiers have been killed,

842
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 14: that's very different from something where there are no casualties.

843
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I just think, again, you've got the

844
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: suffordability crisis, You've got a base that is clamoring for

845
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: us to focus on domestic issues, and here we are again.

846
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: But this is what I'm saying, is the harder message

847
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: to sell is that this will have downstream positive impacts

848
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: on America. And I would just think I would just

849
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: not be too arrogant about how much the upside is.

850
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 1: Remember George HW.

851
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 14: Bush won the Gulf War in February of nineteen ninety one.

852
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 14: February of ninety one, after the midterms, wins a gigantic

853
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 14: war against a big enemy, complete beat down. I think

854
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 14: he has eighty five percent approval or so at that time,

855
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 14: and he loses reelection, loses bad, and he loses it

856
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 14: thanks to a recession that it self ended in March

857
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 14: nineteen ninety one. That's how much economic stuff beats out

858
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 14: foreign policy stuff.

859
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: That victory was just totally forgotten. Well it was also

860
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: Ross Paro stole a lot of his votes.

861
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, but Ross Paro, why was Ross Paro stealing

862
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 14: his votes.

863
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, well fair enough. I mean, I'm just saying if

864
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: it wasn't been head to head, you know, he would

865
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: have lost worse. You think so, Yeah, Ross Paro took

866
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: I think more votes from Clinton if anything. Well, we

867
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: can argue that another day. But I do think here's

868
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: here's my basic thought on this. We have to deal

869
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: with Mexico. If you really want to deal with the

870
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: fentanyl flowing into the country, it has to be you

871
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: have to deal with Mexico. That's where absolutely the most

872
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: of it is coming from. The precursors come from China,

873
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: they go into Mexico. I have a whole theory that

874
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: we need to threaten Mexico with reversing the Gaston purchase,

875
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: connecting Arizona to the Sea of Cortes, reclaiming Baha. Yes,

876
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: if they don't, they're gonna file FO as well. But

877
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: this is this is way better. This is way better, Blake,

878
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: don't look at me like that. This is way better

879
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: because this is actually contiguous with the United States the

880
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: lower forty eight. We're just gonna ad you just want

881
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: us to extort Mexico. Yea, if they don't stop the

882
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: fedyl coming into our I read a history of Mexico

883
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: a year ago.

884
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 14: The number one moral I took from it is we

885
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 14: should build a one thousand foot wall around all of

886
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 14: Mexico and keep it in and just not No one

887
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 14: goes in, no one goes out. It's like Escape from

888
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 14: New York, except with the whole country.

889
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, Baja's pretty beautiful. I will I'm open

890
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: minded to just building a way bigger wall. I would

891
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: invest in that one thousand feet high Game of Thrones. Yeah,

892
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean so basically, you know, the point is the

893
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: so I guess we have David's there. Let's bring him

894
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: in really quick. David, can you hear me? David? Can

895
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: you hear me?

896
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 13: Yeah?

897
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 19: I got you, loud and clear, awesome.

898
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: Tell us what you're seeing in Manhattan?

899
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 19: I got you.

900
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 20: Well, we're outside the courthouse, heavy security, jerones, helicopters everywhere.

901
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 20: I just walked out of the arraignment about five minutes ago.

902
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 20: No cameras or any recording devices were allowed in there,

903
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 20: but I did take some notes, and Maduro defiantly pled

904
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 20: not guilty, along with his wife Celia Flores, saying that

905
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 20: I am an innocent man. I am a good man,

906
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 20: and he went on a speech in Spanish.

907
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 19: I only understood a little bit of it.

908
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,479
Speaker 20: He said, he's a prisoner of war and he wants

909
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 20: to be treated I think according to Geneva convention in

910
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 20: Vienna Accords.

911
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 19: But don't quote me exactly on that.

912
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 20: But Judge Hellstein cut him off and said there would

913
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 20: be plenty of time for such dialogue in the future,

914
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 20: that this was just about the arraignment. And the judge

915
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 20: asked him if he wanted to request bell and he said,

916
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 20: I don't want to request the ball at this time,

917
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 20: and he reserves the right to do that at any

918
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 20: point going forward. The defense did say that this was

919
00:49:54,320 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 20: a military abduction and also.

920
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: Looks like we lost David there for a second. Let's see,

921
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: can we get in back studio. We're going to keep going.

922
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 19: Here, Hellerstein.

923
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 20: But you know, the attorneys for Maduro, we're requesting also

924
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 20: medical help for Celia Flores, who may have sustained perhaps

925
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 20: what they say is a fracture during the arrest from

926
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 20: a few days ago, and wanted her to get some treatment.

927
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 20: The case will reconvene in sixty days. I believe that

928
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 20: date is March sixteenth, And they also discuss his right

929
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 20: to consult with his counsel because as a foreign person,

930
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 20: I think he has the right to consult with the

931
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 20: consulate in Venezuela or other And they also talked about

932
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 20: in the prosecution agreed. I think because we're not allowed

933
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 20: to take money from Venezuela attorneys in the United States,

934
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 20: that the prosecution would make an exception. I believe to

935
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 20: be able to transfer funds to pay the defense team

936
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 20: Vacilia Flores and what Nicholas Maduro said, he is the rightful.

937
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 19: President of Venezuela. A lot going on here on the

938
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 19: ground Lower Manhattan.

939
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, David, I'm curious if you've got any insight as

940
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: to why this case was tried in Manhattan as opposed

941
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: to perhaps the Southern District of Florida. Do you have

942
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: any insight onto that.

943
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 20: Well, the case, the crux of the case, and I

944
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 20: know Florida District did participate in this under DOJ, but

945
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 20: this goes all the way back to twenty eleven for

946
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 20: the DOJ Southern District, and we had other indictments and

947
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 20: a recent conviction of top.

948
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 19: General Hugo Armando Caraval.

949
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 20: Barrios, also known as El Poyo the chicken who worked

950
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 20: for Hugo Chavez. This is a fifteen year old Southern

951
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 20: District indictment, and he said he's been working that Barrio

952
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 20: has been working with the cartel since nineteen ninety nine

953
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 20: in a conspiracy. I think his sentencing is coming up

954
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 20: next week. Here he pled guilty to the same charges

955
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 20: as Maduro and he's facing life in prison. And I

956
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 20: was thinking maybe he sang like a canary.

957
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 19: I don't know that.

958
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 20: But the indictments, all four indictments, including narco terror as

959
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 20: a conspiracy, alleging a twenty five year partnership with FARK,

960
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 20: the revolutionary on Forces in Colombia, weapons chargers, corruption and violence, kidnappings, murder,

961
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 20: and to protect trafficking ops.

962
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 19: All those indictments.

963
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 20: He did plead not guilty too, as well as Celia Flores,

964
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 20: who also said that.

965
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 19: She was an innocent. She's innocent one hundred percent in

966
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 19: this case.

967
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 20: So a lot more to come and I think maybe

968
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 20: there will be an application to move the trial to Florida.

969
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 19: I'm not sure if that's doable or not.

970
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 1: Right, So it's a sort of a legacy of when

971
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: the indictments against Maduro started. It sounds like probably in

972
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. They were filed in the Southern District of

973
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: New York, so keeping with the legality and the indictments

974
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: that were previously issued, that makes sense. David zer thank

975
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: you for the reporting on the ground in the federal

976
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: courthouse where Nicholas Maduro has been a reigned and pleaded

977
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 1: not guilty. David Zier, thanks so much, Thank you, sir. Awesome.

978
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: All right, we are going to take a quick break here.

979
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: We've got Liz Collin from Alpha News and she's gonna

980
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: be covering Tim Walls not running for reelection as governor

981
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: of Minnesota, and we're on the Somalia fraud ring that

982
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: is just blowing up people calling for all of those people,

983
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: including the Attorney General of Minnesota, to step down. I mean,

984
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: I don't think people are satisfied yet. This is going

985
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: to keep going. So we're going to cover that in

986
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: depth with Liz Colin, who's I think the best reporter

987
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. We have her. Next, don't go anywhere.

988
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 8: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break.

989
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 3: I'm Terrence Bates.

990
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 16: Why not start this new year off with total health.

991
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,959
Speaker 16: There's a good chance that one of your New Year's

992
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 16: resolutions is to either lose weight or deliver a healthier lifestyle. Well,

993
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,719

994
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 16: can actually see your resolution through my five five to

995
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 16: five challenge. Well, that may be just the thing for you.

996
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: We lost weight that first week.

997
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 11: I've gone down five notches on my belt.

998
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 13: If you just follow the program, it works.

999
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 21: I mean, this is so simple and so doable, and

1000
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 21: so I just thank y'all.

1001
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 11: I have no more body aches.

1002
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 2: My mind is clear, my endurance is up, my heart

1003
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 2: is just fuller. I'm able to give more and be

1004
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:47,280
Speaker 2: more present.

1005
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 8: It's changed our marriage.

1006
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 7: It's changed our relationship, and it's so sustainable.

1007
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 8: Let's bring in John Jubilee.

1008
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 16: He's the founder of Energized Health and the man behind

1009
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 16: the My five to five to five Challenge.

1010
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 8: Johnny Jay always.

1011
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 19: Gets to see you.

1012
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 8: Happy New Year, Happy New Year. So look, the reality

1013
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 8: is it is a new year.

1014
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 16: Everybody's pretty much making these New Year's resolutions. Mine typically

1015
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 16: is out the door less than twenty four minutes twenty

1016
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 16: four hours.

1017
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 8: After I make it.

1018
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 16: How do you sustain these New Year's resolutions, particularly when

1019
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 16: it comes to health.

1020
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 22: Well, well, Terrence, I can tell you how to do it.

1021
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 22: And the reason I can, Terrence, is because for ten years,

1022
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 22: for ten years, I just was like everyone else out here,

1023
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 22: I'd make my New Year's resolution and guess what, Terrence,

1024
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 22: and it never was sustainable. It never was sustainable. I

1025
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 22: just couldn't do it. I was like everyone else fourteen

1026
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 22: to twenty one days in because it didn't work. It

1027
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 22: didn't work, Terrence, and it was not a sustainable solution.

1028
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 3: But I can tell you, guys.

1029
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 22: When I found this, when I found this energized health protocol,

1030
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 22: this has been sustainable for twenty eight years.

1031
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 13: Now.

1032
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 22: How many of you would say twenty eight years working?

1033
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 22: If it sustained you for twenty eight years. So I've

1034
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,959
Speaker 22: been the same shape and size for twenty eight years now,

1035
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 22: how many of you would.

1036
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 13: Like to have that story?

1037
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 22: And not one medical doctor visit Terrence for twenty eight

1038
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 22: years because it's really hard to make a healthy cell sick.

1039
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 22: But the great news is is this really is sustainable.

1040
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 22: This can be your last New Year's resolution. Who would

1041
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 22: like to do your last New Year's resolution that you

1042
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 22: ever do? Because guys, you know I make it simple

1043
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 22: for you. You can lose one of these in a week.

1044
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 22: This week. By the way, you guys can come and

1045

Speaker 22: day for the next five days. And guys, you're going

1048
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 22: to lose this in five days.

1049
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 16: I'm sorry to cut you off, but there are people

1050
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 16: looking at that and saying, okay, looks like a big

1051
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 16: pham blob.

1052
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 8: What does that represent. Let's be clear, this is five

1053
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 8: pounds of fat.

1054
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: This is five pounds of fat.

1055
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 22: What your fat really looks like in your body. That's

1056
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 22: just five pounds of fat, by the way, So just

1057
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 22: think if you got twenty that's four.

1058
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 8: You know, you got four of these to lose or more.

1059
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 3: But the good news is is.

1060
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 22: Once you lose one in a week, you realize, well, hey,

1061
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 22: if I could do that every week, it won't take

1062
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 22: me long to achieve my goal. And then you realize

1063
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 22: each week that you're doing this, you realize, well, this

1064
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 22: is so sustainable. Of course I could do this for

1065
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 22: the rest of my life.

1066
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,919

Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to The Charlie kirk Show, Hour

1096
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: two of our first show back in the new year.

1097
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: Never been so excited to see the calendar flip from

1098
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six. The new year.

1099
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: Lots to cover and we have I think the most

1100
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: important journalists from the state of Minnesota and one of

1101
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: the most important journalists in the country. She did the

1102
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: fall of Minneapolis, which is truly important following the George

1103
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: Floyd riots. And she's a senior reporter from Alpha News.

1104
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: Liz Colin from Minneapolis, Minnesota, or at least thereabouts. Liz,

1105
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Charlie Kirkshow it's good to see you again.

1106
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 11: Hi you guys, Happy New Year. Good to see you

1107
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 11: as well. Thanks for having me a lot, Yeah, I'm

1108
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:51,959
Speaker 11: here a lot to talk about.

1109
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we actually had reached out to you,

1110
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: I know, Blake and you were talking about back and forth.

1111
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: You're in high demand lately on the sama A fraud issue,

1112
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: and we did not know when we booked you that

1113
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: we were also going to be welcomed by the news

1114
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: that Tim Waltz is deciding not to run for reelection.

1115
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: What is the story behind the story here, Liz.

1116
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, you guys, these last few weeks been a bit

1117
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 11: of a whirlwind in Minnesota. You could certainly say that

1118
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 11: with News and Politics, no doubt, Governor Tim Walls making

1119
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 11: it official actually just about an hour ago here that

1120
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 11: he will not seek reelection to a third term as governor.

1121
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 11: There have been many political scandals on his watch. We've

1122
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 11: been detailing all of them, but this billion dollar fraud

1123
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 11: scheme seemed to be the last straw in his case,

1124
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 11: nine billion dollars in all and counting. We now have

1125
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 11: multiple federal investigations going on here in Minnesota. And yeah,

1126
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 11: compared to mainstream media, I think we've been one of

1127
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 11: the very few, is certainly the most prominent in the

1128
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 11: state of Minnesota criticizing that the governor. We have been

1129
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 11: for several years with our exclusive reporting. But we even

1130
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 11: showed up at that press conference today, our photo journalist,

1131
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 11: which it's really difficult to even call it a press conference,

1132
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 11: you guys, but Governor Walls took no questions at all.

1133
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 11: Alf News tried to get into the room, but we

1134
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 11: were told we were not on the list, so we

1135
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 11: could not the governor. It's been years now since they've

1136
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 11: even responded to our requests for comment on any story.

1137
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 11: But really just a bizarre situation. If any of your

1138
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 11: viewers we're seeing this at all play out on X

1139
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 11: you have walls coming off, I think quite angry. I

1140
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 11: think that's fair to say. He talked about how he

1141
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 11: was supposedly fighting fraud for his last seven years in office,

1142
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 11: which came off as a bit of a surprise to

1143
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 11: any of us paying attention, basically blaming Republicans and President

1144
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 11: Trump for all of this. Referring to Nick Shirley's viral video,

1145
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 11: which got an awful lot of attention, called that a

1146
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 11: right wing YouTuber and Nick Shirley was breaking into daycares.

1147
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 14: We have that clip. Let's play it real quick. Let's

1148
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 14: play one seventy nine.

1149
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 23: We've got conspiracy theorist, right wing YouTubers breaking into our daycares,

1150
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 23: demanding access to our children. We've got the President of

1151
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 23: the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating

1152
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 23: funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous.

1153
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 14: Now it comes to mind for me, Liz, is he

1154
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 14: can talk a big game there, he can say that.

1155
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 14: Yet I feel like nothing confirms all of the theories

1156
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 14: and allegations going on in Minnesota more than the fact

1157
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 14: Governor Wallace realizes I can't fix this in the eleven

1158
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 14: in the ten months till the next election, I have

1159
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 14: to drop out to give us a shot in this race.

1160
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 14: That seems like the greatest confirmation of all that there's

1161
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 14: a gigantic scandal here.

1162
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 13: Correct.

1163
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think Blake pretty wouldnt paying attention

1164
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 11: to certainly seems that way that with what he's saying now,

1165
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 11: it's almost kind of opposite day. But we see that

1166
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 11: message again and again from the Governor's office. But you

1167
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 11: have some interesting maneuvering happening behind the scenes. And this

1168
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 11: is something we've been monitoring for months now. Even when

1169
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 11: Governor Walls announced in September that he would run for

1170
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 11: reelection for a third term, many were very surprised by

1171
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,439
Speaker 11: that with all of the baggage that he carries in

1172
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 11: the state. But now it seems that it seems to

1173
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 11: be more and more truthful now, and this is something

1174
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 11: we were hearing months ago that Senator Amy Klobashar will

1175
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 11: in fact be running for Minnesota governor. And then you

1176
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 11: have perhaps some backroom dealing going on that Walls would

1177
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 11: then be appointed to her Senate seat because she is

1178
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 11: not up for reelection until twenty thirty one, so there

1179
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 11: would be a special election in twenty eight but Walls

1180
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 11: would have some sort of swap out until then. This

1181
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 11: is all just sort of speculative at this point, but

1182
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 11: many of these Democrats, one could say that, you know,

1183
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 11: fraud has been happening on the watch of many Democrats

1184
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 11: here in Minnesota. It's been twenty years now since there

1185
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 11: was a statewide office held by a Republican in Minnesota.

1186
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 11: But they've been all very quiet. You did not see

1187
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 11: anybody really going to bat, if you will, for Governor

1188
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 11: Walls for these many weeks and months, and sometimes you

1189
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 11: know that silence speaks louder than anything else.

1190
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: So you know, this seems to be the first shoe

1191
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: to drop. And this swap out idea is fascinating because

1192
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: I could I could actually see that really coming to

1193
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 1: bear here. But the question that becomes where is accountability?

1194
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: So you've been doing the research and the investigations here

1195
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: Liz in Minnesota, who is most responsible? Obviously the buck

1196
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: stops with the guy at the top. But it seems

1197
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: like this fraud has you have to have so many

1198
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: people turn a blind eye to allow the fraud to

1199
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: go this long, this large, this widespread. Who needs to

1200
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: be held accountable?

1201
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 3: Next?

1202
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's a great point, Andrew. In many ways,

1203
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 11: this fraud is almost baked into the legislation that we

1204
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 11: see passed again and again at the state capital with

1205
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 11: these NGOs, these nonprofits that are formed. I'll just highlight

1206
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 11: some recent reporting over at ELPHINWS within the last few months,

1207
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 11: but a transportation company paid millions of dollars over what

1208
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 11: the Minneapolis School District was allowing. We find that these

1209
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 11: vans are either sitting for months on end, or in

1210
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 11: fact they're driving around town without any passengers in them

1211
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 11: at all. A Somali owned company, several small owned companies

1212
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 11: working for the Minneapolis School district. Well, it turns out

1213
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 11: that there is some legislation passed in twenty twenty three

1214
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 11: under a DFL trifecta so controlled by Democrats that basically

1215
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 11: one hundred percent, one hundred percent of the reimbursement that

1216
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 11: is submitted to the federal government will go to the

1217
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 11: district and those companies. And what are the monitoring systems

1218
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 11: put in place for these so called rides and services?

1219
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 11: This is all of a sudden assigned to what they

1220
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 11: consider the homeless and highly mobile population in Minneapolis. So

1221
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 11: what do we see all of a sudden, There's a

1222
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 11: forty percent spike in homeless kids in Minneapolis. So when

1223
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 11: you really take a look at a lot of this,

1224
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 11: the math certainly does not add up, but has not

1225
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 11: been for years. But we continue to detail those stories

1226
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 11: over at ELPHA News from whistleblowers who've been trying to

1227
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 11: bring this to the attention of prosecutors of authorities for

1228
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 11: such a long time. I've interviewed recently just a TSA

1229
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 11: agent who detailed her time at the airport here how

1230
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 11: she would watch millions of dollars in cash and carry

1231
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 11: on luggage be flown out of MSP on a weekly

1232
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 11: basis by a couple of US Somali men, sometimes the same,

1233
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 11: sometimes different. And this was also cooperated by a former

1234
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 11: HSI agent who I then interviewed, who talked about how

1235
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 11: again and again they would present these to the US

1236
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 11: Attorney's office back then, and there would be no prosecution

1237
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 11: at all, no charges. Very similar with congress Woman il

1238
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,439
Speaker 11: Han Omar. We're hearing a lot about her again as

1239
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 11: President Trump continues to bring her up but marrying her brother,

1240
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 11: the fact that there are questions if she's even a

1241
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 11: US citizen. But so much of this, you know, has

1242
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 11: been reported before and not by the mainstream media. The

1243
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 11: mainstream media is very complicit in Minnesota. I know, you

1244
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 11: guys know that. No that well with you know, perhaps

1245
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 11: the focus being more on what they do not report

1246
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 11: than what they do. And the Minnesota Star Tribune, Minnesota's

1247
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 11: largest newspaper, is run by a former Commissioner of Governor

1248
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 11: Tim Walls.

1249
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Star Tribune has really just been exposed as

1250
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: a total It's.

1251
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 14: Been so great where they've been like they initially said,

1252
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 14: this is over you know, this is overreacting, there's nothing

1253
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 14: to see here, and then yeah, as it becomes real,

1254
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 14: they've had to pivot to Actually, we've been covering this

1255
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 14: for years. We've totally talked about the It's very funny

1256
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 14: to see them squirm back and forth on this.

1257
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's really it shows how important your investigations

1258
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: have been Liz, and you know you're you want to.

1259
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: I wanted you on the show to make sure you know.

1260
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: With Nick Shirley, God bless him. We're very happy for

1261
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: Nick the success he's having the virality of that video

1262
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: and what it's really unleashed nationwide. Second half of this hour,

1263
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna be covering Washington Somali daycare fraud and other

1264
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: fraud in the state of Washington. It's important. But you

1265
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: guys at Alpinos have been on this. Uh it's for

1266
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: so long and you've been so good, so we want

1267
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: to give you your due credit there. We'll be right

1268
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: back with Liz Collin.

1269
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 6: This movement will not be silenced. You're listening to the

1270
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk Show.

1271
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: All right. Private student loan debt totals about three hundred

1272
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: billion dollars in the US and about forty five billion

1273
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: of that as labeled as defaulted or distressed. And if

1274
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: you are in that situation, you're gonna want to reach

1275
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: out to the good folks at wyrefi dot com. What

1276
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: they do is they refinanced distressed or defaulted private student

1277
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: loans that others simply will not touch. They provide you

1278
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay,

1279
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: So they're not going to give you a monthly payment

1280
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: that you can't afford. They're going to work with you

1281
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 1: in your specific situation to tailor a solution that allows

1282
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: each borrower to meet their specific needs. You will not

1283
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: be calling a facist call center. Why ref I can

1284
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 1: reduce your monthly payments, that's key, and guarantee guarantees interest

1285
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 1: rates under six percent, ensuring affordability and financial relief. Why

1286
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Refin They do not care what your credit score is,

1287
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: So if you are in a really bad financial pickle

1288
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: and your credit has been impacted negatively because of that,

1289
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: they don't care. Will they will work with you. They

01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: off the loan. You can finally get that financial relief

01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 1: of President Trump just went to just went ham on

1306
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar and the Somali pirates. Play cut one.

1307
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 24: Three Samaria, Samaya, pilots, pirates. But what they are doing

1308
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 24: is they're stealing money from the American taxpayer, and every

1309
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 24: one of them should be forced to leave this.

1310
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 3: Country, including ill hand Omar.

1311
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 8: There's a total cript and we're not gonna pay it anymore.

1312
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 8: We're gonna have Waltz go pay. We're not gonna pay them.

1313
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Waltz needs to pay Trump just I mean, we can dream,

1314
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: we can dream. We'll welcome back Liz in just a second.

1315
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:27,719
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Charlie Kirk's show. Liz calling

1316
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: from Alpha News joins us now senior reporter There. Liz,

1317
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the clip that we

1318
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 1: just played, but the Trump I think is echoing the

1319
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: sentiment of a lot of Americans that we feel where

1320
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: we don't understand why we had to take in hundreds

1321
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: of thousands of Somalions from a culture that doesn't share

1322
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: our values, doesn't assimilate very easily or seamlessly, and now

1323
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: we find out they're defrauding us. What can be done?

1324
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: And if you've investigated this as far as deportations, there's

1325
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 1: a new report, Liz just broke. I just saw it,

1326
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: so I don't expect you to know about it that

1327
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: even local Hilton hotels and Hampton Inns in the Minnesota

1328
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:12,480
Speaker 1: or the Minneapolis area are declining ICE agents and DHS

1329
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: officers from getting hotel rooms because of the assumption is

1330
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: they're working to deport Somali's what can be done in

1331
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: that regard, and what are people on the ground saying?

1332
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 11: You know, I actually did did see that report, and

1333
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 11: I was able to actually ride along with ICE just

1334
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 11: a couple of months ago. And this is how deep

1335
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 11: this all runs, you guys. I think this story is

1336
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 11: a good example. But I accompanied them on a ride

1337
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 11: along for a news story and they talked about just

1338
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 11: the growing frustration they have with Minnesota, how difficult their

1339
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 11: job is, because you have so few counties in the

1340
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 11: state that cooperate with ICE. So instead of doing these

1341
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 11: pickups at jails and prisons in Minnesota, instead they have

1342
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 11: to go out into neighborhoods where they are met by

1343
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 11: these activists. And in fact, the Star Tribune has a

1344
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 11: live reporting feed where they go ahead and blast out

1345
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 11: where ICE is going to be next. So this has

1346
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,480
Speaker 11: been going on now for months in Minnesota.

1347
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,520
Speaker 1: But we went out Star Tribune.

1348
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 11: Yes, they actually are basically promoting this where ICE is

1349
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 11: going to be so they can be met by activists.

1350
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 11: But during our ride along, we picked up a former

1351
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 11: Minnesota state employee who was being paid six figures this

1352
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 11: by the state. Had worked for two different agencies and

1353
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 11: turns out was a convicted felon and it was was

1354
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,600
Speaker 11: hired anyway and now faces deportation. And that was a

1355
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 11: story that we documented four elphin News. But again, you

1356
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 11: see this kind of at every turn, sort of this

1357
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:49,759
Speaker 11: radical leftism that has taken hold in many agencies. And

1358
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 11: you know, I think that you know that that's a

1359
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 11: perfect example of something that has been playing out here

1360
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 11: as well.

1361
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: It's really interesting.

1362
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 14: Minnesota used to just be this very let's say, it

1363
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 14: was probably one of the best run blue states.

1364
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: It was a desirable one.

1365
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 14: And you look at the map and we well know

1366
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 14: that people are fleeing California, fleeing Illinois, fleeing New York.

1367
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 14: But actually there's a lot of domestic out migration out

1368
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:11,440
Speaker 14: of Minnesota.

1369
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 13: Now.

1370
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 14: People they can sense that it's going south. I wanted

1371
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 14: this is a bit of a swerve, but I thought

1372
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 14: you might have some thought on this. It just seems

1373
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 14: like every program in Minnesota very quickly can become this

1374
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 14: feeding frenzy for fraud. I know, you guys have a

1375
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 14: new paid leave law that just came into play. They

1376
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 14: added to their own they added their own payroll tax

1377
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:31,719
Speaker 14: to the state on top of what you pay for Medicare,

1378
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 14: Social Security for paid leave, and you're eligible for it

1379
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 14: if you are self employed, you can join into it.

1380
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 14: You can get a maximum of twenty weeks a family

1381
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 14: or medical leave. And so it seems to me like

1382
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 14: this is going to obviously present people an opportunity to

1383
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 14: incorporate a self employed business, declare that they're paying themselves

1384
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 14: a certain salary, and then you yeah, and then you

1385
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 14: go on, you go on your leave for long COVID

1386
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 14: or whatever. You know, your family member is sick, or

1387
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 14: you have any one of your four wives, infinite possible

1388
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 14: claims and you can get a maximum of twenty weeks

1389
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 14: of leave a year. Fourteen hundred dollars a week is

1390
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 14: what the state will pay, So that's twenty eight thousand

1391
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 14: a year.

1392
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: Am I reading this right? Liz?

1393
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, No, you're.

1394
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 11: Absolutely right, Blake, Blake, And that's what I was talking about,

1395
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 11: just sort of how this is baked into the legislation.

1396
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 11: In fact, people are actually calling on just a forensic

1397
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 11: audit overall of the Minnesota state budget at this point.

1398
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 11: I think there are five or six federal investigations now

1399
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 11: ongoing in Minnesota, and I think they will be taking

1400
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 11: a look at a lot of this. Republicans certainly have

1401
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 11: been raising alarms surrounding this new law that just went

1402
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 11: into to affect January. First. You had Governor Walls in

1403
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 11: this so called I guess press conference today talking about

1404
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 11: how he's going to be back out in front of

1405
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 11: cameras tomorrow talking about how great this new law is.

1406
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 11: And there are many questions about fraud. Already thousands of

1407
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 11: people have been approved for this and speaking with small

1408
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 11: business owners, whether it's COVID or other mandates that were

1409
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 11: put in place on small business owners in Minnesota. They

1410
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 11: have expressed a serious alarm. The Chamber of Commerce, many

1411
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 11: departments came out against, you know, passing this. But but again,

1412
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 11: this has been a you know, a Democrat controlled state

1413
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 11: for such a long time. You're right that tens of

1414
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 11: thousands of people have fled the state at this point,

1415
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 11: but Governor Walls, in the last seven years, it's really

1416
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 11: hard to understate, you know, how how much has happened here,

1417
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 11: whether it's defunding the police, a lot of these mandates

1418
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 11: on small businesses, education scores really in the tank at

1419
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 11: this point. Thousands of businesses closing in Minnesota in addition

1420
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 11: to people moving out. And we've all we've always been known,

1421
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 11: you know, for years as a welfare state, you know,

1422
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 11: the good people of Minnesota, whether it's Lutheran social services,

1423
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 11: Catholic charities taking people in. But this Somali part certainly

1424
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 11: has been different, and the evidence has pointed to that

1425
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 11: it's about a hundred thousand they say Somali's in Minnesota.

1426
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 11: We've covered cases where they will be on the stand

1427
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,759
Speaker 11: saying this is our culture they consider themselves business people,

1428
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 11: and this is under oath they're saying this. It's just

1429
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 11: it's totally different than anything we've seen before.

1430
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 14: Liz, you're quite the trooper. I would get out of

1431
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 14: Minnesota if I were you, But you're there. You're covering

1432
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 14: it for us, and I suspect we're going to get

1433
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 14: a lot of material from it in the weeks to come.

1434
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for coming on. Thanks Liz, thank you.

1435
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 8: Welcome back to.

1436
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 16: This Real America's Voice news break. I'm Terrence Bates to

Speaker 16: Poe's Venezuelan President. Nicholas Madua and his wife just wrapped

1438
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 16: up their first court appearance in New York. They, of course,

1439
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 16: were taken into custody by US officials over the weekend.

1440
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 8: They're now facing narco terrorism charges.

1441
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 16: Real America's Voice correspondent and host of Breaking Point David

1442
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:57,440

1443
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,719
Speaker 16: David run through what happened in court today.

1444
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 20: I attended the arraignment inside the Patrick moynihan US District Court.

1445
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:09,879
Speaker 20: Here Nicholas Maduo escorted into the room in shackles, orange

1446
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 20: jail slippers and a black correction shirt. Sitting two seats

1447
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 20: away from his wife, separated by the defense team. He

1448
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 20: was flanked to I believe his right by Julian Assange

1449
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 20: lawyer Barry Pollock, who also defended Marty Tankliff, who was

1450
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,520
Speaker 20: led out of jail due to new evidence after being accused.

1451
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:27,679
Speaker 19: Of murdering his parents years ago.

1452
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 20: And Celia Flores, along with Nicholas Maduo, were both wearing

1453
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,679
Speaker 20: headphones for translation. They both pled not guilty to all

1454
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 20: four of the indictments, including narco terrorism, cocaine importation, conspiracy,

1455
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 20: weapons charges, corruption and violence. And they pled guilty, and

1456
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 20: Nicholas Mudur went on a little bit of a speech

1457
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 20: saying he should be treated I believe, he said in

1458
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 20: Spanish Geneva and Vienna accords.

1459
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 19: He should be treated as such. He was kidnapped and

1460
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 19: he's a prisoner of war.

1461
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 20: And Judge Hellstein cut him off and said there'll be

1462
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 20: time for that in the future here, but this was

1463
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 20: an incredible day here in Lower Manhattan, and Medoro's defense

1464
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 20: lawyer said he was militarily abducted.

1465
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 19: It was a military abduction.

1466
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 20: They also discussed his right to consult with his consulate,

1467
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 20: and the prosecution agreed with that. And also how to

1468
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 20: take money to his defense lawyers, as money from Venezuela

1469
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,959
Speaker 20: cannot change hands out of the country, so the prosecution

1470
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 20: agreed to that as well.

1471
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 19: Historic day in Lower Manhattan.

1472
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 16: Absolutely a lot going on on, a lot still to

1473
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 16: unpack David's eer reporting for us in Lower Manhattan outside

1474
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 16: the Federal courthouse there. We'll of course have more coverage

1475
01:19:36,520 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 16: of this story throughout the day here on Real America's Voice.

1476
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 6: On Air and on Fire for the preservation of our nation.

1477
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: Charlie, all right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.

1478
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,839
Speaker 1: I'm excited to have our next guest on this Jonathan Choe.

1479
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: He is an amazing journalist who is part of TPUSA

1480
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 1: front Lines team doing the sort of gorilla on the

1481
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: ground journalism that the mainstream news media refuses to. And

1482
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: now Jonathan has I mean, he's done amazing work for

1483
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: Turning Point for years, but he is uncovering the extent

1484
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,919
Speaker 1: of Somali fraud in the state of Washington. So Minnesota

1485
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 1: has gotten a lot of the attention. But this fraud,

1486
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: in this tendency by specific community in specific kinds of states,

1487
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 1: expands well beyond Minnesota. We've heard Ohio, and Jonathan's on

1488
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: the ground in Washington exposing it there. Welcome to the show,

1489
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Choe frontlines CPOSA.

1490
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, thanks for having me.

1491
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, you so give us the rundown here. So

1492
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: this fraud has been going on for who knows how long,

1493
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: and you are uncovering it. And it appears that instead

1494
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: of like we're in Minnesota, they are We've Tim Walls

1495
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: is saying he's not going to run for reelection. We

1496
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:13,679
Speaker 1: have a new socialist mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, who's

1497
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: promising to probably make things worse. Tell us, give us

1498
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 1: the lay of the land. What's the state of things

1499
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: in Washington.

1500
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 25: Well, first of all, credit to Nick Shirley, who busted

1501
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 25: this story wide open in Minnesota and again this morning

1502
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 25: Tim Walls finally saying he's no longer going to run

1503
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:31,759
Speaker 25: for governor.

1504
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 13: Shirley's coverage had a lot to do with that.

1505
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,799
Speaker 25: That's what also inspired though our coverag suare in Washington

1506
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:41,719
Speaker 25: as soon as that story, you know, broken Minnesota. Last week,

1507
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 25: independent journalist Cam Higbee, along with citizen journalists Kristen Magnuson

1508
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 25: and I, decided we needed to start looking here Magnuson

1509
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:56,879
Speaker 25: busted an entire list identified more than five hundred Somali

1510
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 25: run daycares. What we did was simply process of elimination.

1511
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,679
Speaker 25: We went through the inspection histories. Anything with red flags

1512
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 25: serious violations we decided to go after and we did

1513
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 25: the divide and conquer approach. So after just only four

1514
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 25: days now and nearly forty Somali daycares from Seattle to

1515
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,679
Speaker 25: Kent to Auburn to Sea Tech, all over South King County,

1516
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 25: we've uncovered what appears to be possible signs of Somali

1517
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 25: daycare fraud. In at least four cases, the daycare was

1518
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 25: officially registered with the state of Washington, but when we

1519
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 25: knocked on the door, either no one came to the

1520
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 25: door and only spoke to us through a ring camera

1521
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 25: and said no, no daycare here, never registered, or the

1522
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 25: person ran us off the property saying no daycare go away.

1523
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:47,839
Speaker 1: Wow, and you guys are definitely I want the audience

1524
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,879
Speaker 1: to understand just how much you guys have uffled feathers

1525
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: in the state of Washington. Throw up one four. This

1526
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: is NBC National. NBC is posting about your guys's reporting,

1527
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: saying that you know essentially trying to downplay who you are.

1528
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 1: Far right you know, YouTubers, independent journalists so called, are

1529
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:13,839
Speaker 1: now harassing local daycares because they happened to be Somali?

1530
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: Is that the truth? You heard Tim Walt saying something

1531
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: similar Jonathan with you know, basically calling him a conspiracy

1532
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: theorist and a right wing YouTuber trying to downplay the

1533
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: significance of this work. What what what are you? What

1534
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: are you doing that's getting under the cross so much?

1535
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 25: Jonathan, Well, it does seem like that seems to be

1536
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 25: the playbook.

1537
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,959
Speaker 13: Initially, at least for h these.

1538
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 25: Democratic elected officials and also the left wing corporate media.

1539
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 25: It's pretty much denied, dismiss, and then try to discredit.

1540
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,919
Speaker 25: But at the end of the day, we have official

1541
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 25: public documents. You referenced Katie Wilson, the new mayor of Seattle.

1542
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,480
Speaker 25: Just a few days ago. We went to her inauguration

1543
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 25: and she pretty much admitted that her social media post

1544
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 25: right after the story where she called, you know, all

1545
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 25: the people knocking on the doors of the Somali daycares

1546
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 25: to figure out whether or not actual fraud was happening.

1547
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,919
Speaker 25: She referred to them as extremist influencers. And when Higbee

1548
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 25: confronted her and I confronted her, she admitted she was

1549
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 25: talking about me. So we're clearly living rent free in

1550
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 25: her head. But again all joking aside the fact that

1551
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 25: a sitting official does not only includes the mayor of Seattle.

1552
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,799
Speaker 25: This time, I'm talking about the Washington State Governor, Bob Ferguson,

1553
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 25: along with Attorney General Nick Brown. Instead of calling for

1554
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 25: a robust investigation into the Somali daycares, they're now playing defense.

1555
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 25: They're pointing fingers at President Trump. They're calling us harassers.

1556
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 25: So again I think there's clearly a coordinated effort going on.

1557
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,719
Speaker 1: Right now. We have that clip Jonathan of the New

1558
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: She was just sworn in this morning, right, a couple

1559
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 1: days ago, a couple of years, okay, so just sworn in.

1560
01:24:57,680 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: She's an act. When we say she's a socialist, she's

1561
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: actually a socialist. She she's proud of this. She calls herself,

1562
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: she said, part of the Democrat Socialists of America. She

1563
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: narrowly won her election over the incumbent there. It was

1564
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 1: just a you know, I guess more of a traditional Democrat.

1565
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 24: Uh.

1566
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: Well, here's one sixty six Seattle mayriic Katie Wilson calling

1567
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Choe and Cam Higby extremist influencers, which is, it's

1568
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:23,679
Speaker 1: a bold claim one sixty six.

1569
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 21: That everyone has a place in Seattle.

1570
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 11: This is your city. That is, that you belong here.

1571
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 21: As you put it, extremist influencers have a place in Seattle.

1572
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 21: So I guess so, oh, john Well, I asked her.

1573
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 21: She said her speech that everybody has a place in Seattle.

1574
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 21: And I said, Katy, you said everyone has a place

1575
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 21: in Seattle, does that include, as you put it, extremist influencers?

1576
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 19: And she looked at you and she said, well, there's

1577
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 19: one standing right there. So I guess so.

1578
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 1: And Tennessee's calling me an extremist influence.

1579
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 13: Yeah again, I triggered that post apparently.

1580
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 21: And then I asked her if her administration will investigate

1581
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 21: Somali daycare fraud, and she literally started pushing me away.

1582
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 21: Staff mushered me away.

1583
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 1: So it's all on camera. We simply stood in line.

1584
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 3: We just wanted to ask her basic questions.

1585
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 25: But Tadie Wilson and her administration afraid of questions basically, yeah,

1586
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 25: terrified questions.

1587
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. Good for you, Jonathan, I mean, you know,

1588
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota's getting all the attention, but Washington is an absolute

1589
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: hotbed of extreme, actual extremists on the left. They're going

1590
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: to ruin that state. That is a state that is

1591
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: a proud capitalist past. I mean you've got Boeing, you've

1592
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: got Starbucks, you've got Microsoft. I mean, there's this Amazon.

1593
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: This is a proudly capitalist state and it's kind of

1594
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,559
Speaker 1: got this. People don't understand this, Like the Seattle area

1595
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 1: has this kind of Scandinavian heritage as well, like very

1596
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: intrepid entrepreneurs, very self sufficient people. It's getting completely annihilated

1597
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: from the you know, the I would say, from progressive left,

1598
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 1: but the tax base, the massive inflation, influx of foreigners,

1599
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 1: the traffic in Seattle is horrendous now, by the way,

1600
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 1: but it's just I shocked at how much fraud we've explored,

1601
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 1: and we've discovered already in Minnesota, but how much we're

1602
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: about to discover in Washington State. And the question that

1603
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 1: I then have, Jonathan, is that instead of investigating it,

1604
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,679
Speaker 1: they're showing you away. What is the reticence with actually

1605
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:27,799
Speaker 1: investigating this fraud?

1606
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 25: Great question you've got to ask them, And I want

1607
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 25: to be very clear, you know, people like me, cam Higbee,

1608
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 25: Kristen Magnuson, and all the other citizen journalists who've been digging.

1609
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 25: It's because the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families,

1610
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 25: the actual agency get this that not only funds these

1611
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 25: Somali daycares, but is also supposed to investigate the daycares.

1612
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 13: Well, they're not doing their job.

1613
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,719
Speaker 25: I mean, we've reached out to DCYF numerous times now.

1614
01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 25: They're not returning our requests for comments. I called them

1615
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 25: several times. Their voicemail box is still full. So the

1616
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:06,600
Speaker 25: best part of this is that DCYF also on the

1617
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 25: web page put out a statement basically advising daycares on

1618
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 25: how to respond to all the people making inquiries. But

1619
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 25: there's no place at all on the website right now

1620
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 25: to make complaints about suspicious Somali daycares. I think the

1621
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 25: Washington State GEO, Yeah, it does seem that way, and

1622
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 25: that's exactly what the Washington State GEO piece at. Jim Walsh,

1623
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,759
Speaker 25: Travis Couture, two state representatives now also leading the charge

1624
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 25: here trying to look into what's actually happening. They've gone,

1625
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 25: as you so far to say, this is essentially a

1626
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 25: kickback scheme. We've also uncovered that a lot of these

1627
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 25: Somali daycares have donated to Democratic candidates, not conservative Republican candidates,

1628
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,959
Speaker 25: but Democratic candidates. So it's this vicious cycle that they're alleging.

1629
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 25: So again, we are at the very early stages of

1630
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 25: this investigation. In fact, Nick Shirley is a friend of ours.

1631
01:28:57,240 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 25: We've invited him, he might come here. We've talked to

1632
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 25: other journalists across the country. We are urging more eyes

1633
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:04,759
Speaker 25: on this state.

1634
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's shocking, and I want to get back

1635
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 1: to this idea. I mean, I lived in Seattle. I

1636
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: went to the University of Washington, and when I was there,

1637
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 1: it was, like I said, proudly capitalist. This was a

1638
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: people that knew how to run. It was kind of

1639
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 1: like Minnesota where it formerly used to be this sort

1640
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: of well run blue state. It functioned, there was order,

1641
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: kind of the old Charlie used to talk about this

1642
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,879
Speaker 1: all the time, with the old Democrats that ran Chicago.

1643
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 1: They knew how to run a city. Yeah they were Democrats,

1644
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: but it was sort of like the old school version.

1645
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:40,720
Speaker 1: And now you're getting whether it's New York or Minnesota.

1646
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: You've got a basically a communist run in Chicago. Now

1647
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 1: you've got a communist. We'll just keep it what it is.

1648
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: A socialist running Seattle. I mean, this is a really

1649
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 1: scary trend that we're seeing socialist Seattle, communist, socialist running Chicago,

1650
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 1: socialist running New York. I don't know what the heck

1651
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: is going on in Minnesota, but they're basically trying to

1652
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: give away every single dollar that comes into the coffers.

1653
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,880
Speaker 1: And it is going to play out exactly how we

1654
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: know it's going to play out, where rampant fraud, rampant

1655
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: fleecing of the tax taxpayers and residents that are productive

1656
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: are going to flee the state. It's just there's there's

1657
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 1: no you mentioned this in Minnesota. New York's moving to

1658
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: Florida and other places. Illinois filling up Phoenix. I can

1659
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 1: tell you that the city's full of Chicagoans that have

1660
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 1: fled the state. Have you have you felt that already

1661
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:38,639
Speaker 1: in just kind of in the last couple of years, Jonathan,

1662
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:40,600
Speaker 1: And now it's going to get worse than Seattle. Are

1663
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 1: you seeing businesses starting to flee the state? Are you

1664
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: seeing people flee the state?

1665
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 25: Absolutely? The exodus has already begun. Just look at the

1666
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 25: data and the numbers downtown Seattle. The commercial real estate,

1667
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 25: the vacancies are an all time high. You have property

1668
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 25: values starting to drop. You have people now, you know,

1669
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 25: for example, Amazon and Meta, they were going to expand

1670
01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:07,280
Speaker 25: in Seattle, but instead they're moving to nearby Bellevue, which

1671
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 25: is only fifteen minutes away, which is safer, which has

1672
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 25: just pro police and is simply a better run city.

1673
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 25: So what's happening now again in Washington? The concern is

1674
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 25: that all the patriots who were common sense have now

1675
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:22,719
Speaker 25: left and there's no one left to fight.

1676
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,560
Speaker 13: And maybe it is all by design.

1677
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:28,360
Speaker 25: That the GOP you know, continues to you know, pass

1678
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 25: these insane policies, frustrating common sense folk, and the folk

1679
01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:34,000
Speaker 25: were going to challenge them, they're no longer here to

1680
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 25: do that. So again, a lot of theories happening right now.

1681
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,400
Speaker 25: But I'm seeing again the data, and I'm seeing people

1682
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 25: now voting with their feet.

1683
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:42,839
Speaker 13: And that's what's happening in Washington.

1684
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you saw that. You see it in California too.

1685
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 1: It's like if all the people would have just stayed

1686
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 1: and fought in California you know, we probably could have

1687
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 1: won back. Honestly, I mean it's a bittersweet, you know,

1688
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:55,560
Speaker 1: pilled a swat. I don't think we could have won back, No,

1689
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 1: I do. I mean, if you if you go back

1690
01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,679
Speaker 1: to the nineties, I mean, people are starting to flee

1691
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 1: the state California in the nineties. I mean we're talking

1692
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 1: millions of people over the last twenty five years, thirty years.

1693
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: You should see how many votes we lost. Money. Wow,

1694
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, fair enough. I call me a you know,

1695
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories if you want, but I actually it is

1696
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,680
Speaker 1: a problem though, because and then you know, states like

1697
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,640
Speaker 1: Arizona get benefited from Texas, Florida, A lot of a

1698
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,439
Speaker 1: lot of red states are benefiting. Jonathan Schoe. I know

1699
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 1: you are midway on this investigation. Please come back when

1700
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:27,520
Speaker 1: you conclude it. We want to we want to platform

1701
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,559
Speaker 1: and showcase it, make sure the world knows TPOSA front

1702
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 1: lines Jonathan show great American.

1703
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:34,559
Speaker 13: Thank you thanks for dropping the story this week.

1704
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 1: Take care of all right, We'll be right back.

1705
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:52,920
Speaker 6: News flash democrats America as a republic not a democracy

1706
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 6: fact check true.

1707
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back, Blake. You we're gonna get into

1708
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,679
Speaker 1: We're going to talk Thomas Massey in the next segment,

1709
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 1: but before we get there, because he's very against this

1710
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 1: Venezuela thing, and I'm curious what the audience thinks. Freedom

1711
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,799
Speaker 1: at Charliekirk dot com. What are your thoughts on Trump's

1712
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 1: actions in Venezuela. Freedom at Charliekirk dot com really want

1713
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 1: to hear from you on that. But in the meantime, Blake,

1714
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 1: you went up to the Great Frozen North and you survive? Yes,

1715
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 1: I did? For the break, what'd you do?

1716
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:27,160
Speaker 14: I read that hideous strength in We kept Yeah, we

1717
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 14: kept read. We kept talking about it with the ad

1718
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 14: and that was the only one I hadn't read.

1719
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 1: So I went to read a Hillsdale. It's very weird,

1720
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:34,440
Speaker 1: nor is it? Yes, it's very strange.

1721
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:37,720
Speaker 14: It's it's not exactly it's it's a dystopian novel like

1722
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 14: the others in that listing in nineteen eighty four Brave North,

1723
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,759
Speaker 14: but it's a lot weirder. It has King Arthur related

1724
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 14: elements that pop up halfway through.

1725
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 3: Weird, very weird.

1726
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 1: Well, I now need to take the Hillsdale course exactly.

1727
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:51,680
Speaker 1: We might also read.

1728
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 14: You might need to read the prelude books too, it's

1729
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 14: a little less weird if you it's the end of

1730
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:55,959
Speaker 14: a trilogy.

1731
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: If you're reading it as your only.

1732
01:33:57,960 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 14: Book in that trilogy, you ever read the first two,

1733
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 14: it's got to be one of the weirdest books you've ever.

1734
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 1: I stayed in Phoenix and I shot off thousands of

1735
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 1: dollars that I didn't pay for them. But we went

1736
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 1: to this house and we got there with the kids

1737
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: and they had literal fireworks with the mortar shells, you know,

1738
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: five inch and seven inch New Year's fireworks. New Year's yeah,

1739
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:20,600
Speaker 1: New Year's Yeah. I mean there was other houses doing it.

1740
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: I think it's fairly com I.

1741
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 14: Thought you were gonna say, like thousands of dollars worth

1742
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 14: of Ammo, like you went right shooting.

1743
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,760
Speaker 1: That sounds very Arizona. That would have been very cool.

1744
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: But we just fired them off. It was pretty fun.

1745
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 1: The kids enjoyed it, and I will tell you I

1746
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,800
Speaker 1: had a legitimate celebration. Is that probably the first that

1747
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:40,680
Speaker 1: apparently it's very illegal in Arizona. I didn't do it. Well,

1748
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:42,599
Speaker 1: I did it. You're throwing all the blame on your

1749
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 1: own children. It was my child. Very suspicious, Yeah, And

1750
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:49,720
Speaker 1: the house that we're at, I can either confirm nor

1751
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,240
Speaker 1: deny that this story I've just told is true. But

1752
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 1: it's true, and it was. But I will tell you

1753
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:59,200
Speaker 1: I had a legitimate celebration. I was so ready for

1754
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, twenty five to be over. It was

1755
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 1: just a terribly tragic year, and we missed Charlie and

1756
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,719
Speaker 1: it's time to turn the page and have a new start.

1757
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 1: It really was. Final segment of the first show back

1758
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:28,080
Speaker 1: begins in two seconds. All right, welcome back. So revisiting

1759
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 1: this topic, Thomas Massey threw up at one eighty five.

1760
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 1: He tweeted out, wake up, Maga, Venezuela is not about drugs.

1761
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: It's about oil and regime change. This is not what

1762
01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 1: we voted for. And to that, Blake, your your response

1763
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:41,760
Speaker 1: is I.

1764
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 14: Think it's very funny that Trump comes out and basically

1765
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 14: says he's like, we did this to take the oil.

1766
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 14: We're taking all the oil from Venezuela, and then everyone's

1767
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,719
Speaker 14: pointing and saying, don't be tricked, this is about oil.

1768
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I do think that there there is

1769
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of this going on. I mean, I'll

1770
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,080
Speaker 1: be honest, I think there's a little bit of we

1771
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 1: have the legal precursor with drugs and narco trafficking, and

1772
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:09,759
Speaker 1: we have the indictments and he's an illegitimate person. That's

1773
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,920
Speaker 1: you know. But this is about kind of I would say,

1774
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 1: this is about two things. I'm gonna say, one that

1775
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 1: is provable, one that is a bit conspiratorial, one that's provable.

1776
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:21,519
Speaker 1: This is about the messy business of empire. And people

1777
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 1: don't like to hear it. But America, Yeah, we're not

1778
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 1: an empire in sort of a classical Roman sense, but

1779
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 1: we are an economic behemoth and we are a hedgemond,

1780
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:33,800
Speaker 1: and there are threats to the hegemony. Right there is

1781
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:38,919
Speaker 1: the bricks nations. There's Iran, Russia, China that are working

1782
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:43,640
Speaker 1: to forge inroads in the Western hemisphere, gain access to

1783
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: mental rights, gain access to friendly dictators that will allow

1784
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 1: them to use their countries as playthings. And you've got,

1785
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:54,719
Speaker 1: by the way, people don't understand how insidious the Cuban

1786
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:59,560
Speaker 1: intelligence arm is really. They have massive presence in the

1787
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: United stas dates, but also throughout South America. It's there. One,

1788
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 1: let's not let's not go to it's there. One export

1789
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 1: what's there?

1790
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:05,400
Speaker 19: Okay?

1791
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 13: There?

1792
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 3: What have they done?

1793
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,720
Speaker 1: All right? Just hear me out so you've got all

1794
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 1: these You've got all of these countries that have a

1795
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 1: presence that are not friendly to the United States in Venezuela,

1796
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,840
Speaker 1: and here we have an opportunity to depose a dictator.

1797
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,559
Speaker 1: You have legal ability to do it, and there is

1798
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 1: a larger hemispheric rationale economically to do it. Okay. Secondly,

1799
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 1: and this is where I'm going to get your real

1800
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 1: eye rolls more so than the Cubans. There is a

1801
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:35,720
Speaker 1: story and I would be remiss if I didn't bring

1802
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 1: it up that suggests that Trump is because you've got

1803
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:46,840
Speaker 1: these voting systems with the origin stories in Venezuela. Yes,

1804
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 1: this is going one on the internet. So if you

1805
01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 1: don't want to hear it, you know, maybe maybe maybe

1806
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, that's fine, that's your I'm not saying I

1807
01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 1: endorse it. I'm just saying people are saying, many people

1808
01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 1: are saying Smartmatic and Dominion have origin story, or at

1809
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 1: least one of them does in Venezuela. And the idea

1810
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 1: is that President Trump is doing this actually some sort

1811
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: of three D chess move to find out the truth

1812
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:15,759
Speaker 1: about the twenty twenty election. Good luck you, Smartmatic, smart Matic,

1813
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't I'll be blunt.

1814
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 14: I hope that's not the case, because I don't think

1815
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 14: if an American troop gets killed and it turns out

1816
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:24,000
Speaker 14: that they did this, I would to go after dominion.

1817
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:27,639
Speaker 1: I think that would be a catastrophic error. Listen, it's

1818
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 1: smartmatic apparently. Anyways, So the point is that is a

1819
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: one of the theories circulating is that there are you know,

1820
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,479
Speaker 1: Emerald Robinson I think was one of the people that

1821
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: has reported on this, just saying house and Habit did

1822
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,639
Speaker 1: a whole thing on it. I saw it was going around.

1823
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 1: People need to be aware that would be bad. I

1824
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:48,560
Speaker 1: don't think that they're going to, you know, state this publicly,

1825
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 1: but I do think that you know, President Trump and

1826
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:54,799
Speaker 1: starts posting on true social about the twenty twenty election

1827
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:56,880
Speaker 1: right after Maduro. What I think it's most interest Well,

1828
01:38:56,880 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 1: he always posts about the twenty twenty election.

1829
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:01,240
Speaker 14: I think what's most interesting to me is that is

1830
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 14: the take that they told Trump, President Trump, that we're

1831
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 14: doing this for oil, and the math doesn't quite work

1832
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 14: out in that way.

1833
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Like Venezuela has a lot of oil, but it's not

1834
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:11,840
Speaker 1: very good oil.

1835
01:39:11,880 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 14: It's not as profitable to extract as America's own oil.

1836
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 14: And also, since we're a net energy exporter, we don't

1837
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:20,919
Speaker 14: necessarily love way lower oil prices.

1838
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:22,520
Speaker 1: It's more complicated.

1839
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 14: But that they told President Trump this to kind of

1840
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 14: sell him on it, because he does like that more

1841
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:31,719
Speaker 14: mercenary attitude. He like, you know, with Ukraine, where they're saying, okay,

1842
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 14: support Ukraine, but then we'll.

1843
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 1: Get this rare Earth's deal.

1844
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:37,599
Speaker 14: You get this more straightforward thing out of it, or

1845
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 14: how he's always said we should have taken it rax oil.

1846
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 14: They almost need to sell him on any foreign intervention

1847
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:45,000
Speaker 14: by saying, oh, oh yeah, and we can take the

1848
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 14: oil too, and then he gets more ehusiastic about it. See,

1849
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 14: while they're also they're doing it for the reasons you

1850
01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 14: stayed of keep out China or box in Cuba or

1851
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 14: spread democracy or or what have you.

1852
01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 1: We got an email from Mike c Apparently Danny's telling

1853
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,599
Speaker 1: me all that your emails are pro Trump and Massy

1854
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 1: so great. It says, great job, Andrew Blake. Please with

1855
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,840
Speaker 1: Trump's actions in Venezuela long overdue, tired of the years

1856
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: of talk from week politicians executing a fake war on drugs,

1857
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:11,679
Speaker 1: the cartels and the Third world thugs behind it, let

1858
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,680
Speaker 1: this be a lesson to Mexico, Colombia and Cuba. And

1859
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:16,840
Speaker 1: I do think there is a point here, you know,

1860
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 1: and you saw Marco Rubio said it. Well, if for

1861
01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 1: those of you in the world that still want to

1862
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: mess around with America and you think that Trump's just

1863
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 1: a man of talk and press conference, that's not it.

1864
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:27,960
Speaker 1: He is a man of action, and there will be consequences.

1865
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:29,800
Speaker 1: I still want to make sure that this plays out

1866
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:32,479
Speaker 1: the right way. We don't get over extended. That the

1867
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 1: transition can happen to a friendlier government to the United States.

1868
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 1: We can have an actual, real thriving Venezuela. That would

1869
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:41,439
Speaker 1: be great if and if there's a lot, there's a

1870
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 1: lot betimes now, Lauren, it's it's good. If it goes well, yeah,

1871
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 1: it's bad. If it goes badly, I know. Well, winners win. Well.

1872
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,400
