WEBVTT - Crime in D.C. Plummets - August 19th, Hour 3 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:05.320 Coming up next, our final News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.000 All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. Here's our 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:10.360 toll free telephone number's eight hundred and ninety four one 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.520 Sean if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:19.280 Pretty amazing statistics that we now have new police statistics. Now, 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:23.000 remember we learned a lot about DC because as soon 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:28.200 as Donald Trump that we cannot be in Washington, d C. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.239 Cannot be the number one, you know, homicide capital in 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.440 the entire world. In other words, in terms of countries 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.680 and their capital cities. By far, Washington, d C with 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.239 the rate of forty one per one hundred thousand homicides. 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.920 The next closest would be sixteen per one hundred thousand 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:52.520 homicides in terms of population. And so the President said 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.720 enough is enough, and the President said that he is 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.160 going to send in groups and national Guard troops to 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:04.319 help fight crime and national in our nation's capital. Well, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.760 the results in just a few short days are in. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.640 We have new police statistics showing DC's violent crime rate 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.200 plunging twenty two percent since Donald Trump has gotten involved 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.680 carjackings down a whopping eighty three percent. And what we 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.880 also learned In the process, we learned that Washington, DC, 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.520 because the liberal talking point was no, no, crime is 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.080 down at a thirty year low. And then we find 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.400 out from the police union and rank and file police 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:37.640 officers that they've been cooking the books and classifying violent 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:43.279 crimes as like misdemeanors and things just to look better 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.520 and make the city look better than it actually is. 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.000 But anyway, since the President got involved announced he was 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.960 deploying the National Guard to fight crime in our nation's capital, 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.640 crime rates are plunging. Violent crime down a wopping twenty 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.800 two percent, robbery's down forty six percent, theft down twenty 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.200 one one carjackings, which have actually killed people in DC, 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.400 they're down to staggering eighty three percent. So my advice 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.840 to Democrats is keep complaining about Trump's National Guard deployment, 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.760 and keep defending those sky high crime rates that we 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.920 know are altered on purpose, and keep complaining that the 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.760 rights of criminals are being violated by police, and keep 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.799 advocating for protesters who enjoy spitting on cops while throwing 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.360 feces at them. Because people who hate the police are 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.360 now the Democratic Party's most loyal voters. Good luck with that. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.320 You know, good luck with every policy you've taken on. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.600 They're championing the rights of men to play women's sports. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.560 They're championing the that they're not standing up for law 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.880 abiding citizens in our nation's capital. They don't believe in 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.000 law and order. They continue to support defund dismantled no 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.280 bail laws. They don't want our border secure. They're the 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.320 party of Abrigo Garcia, not the party of enforcing the 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.160 laws at our border. And as a result, they are 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.639 at an all time low in terms of their popularity. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.720 New poll out today shows, in fact that Donald Trump 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.680 his popularity is surged fifty four percent. Anyway, let me 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.440 play for you this and then we'll get to our 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.280 friend Mike Lee of Utah. This is the Washington d 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.520 C Crime Report montage from twenty twenty five, before the 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:20.880 federalization of police. 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.320 The shattered glass has been swept up, but you can 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.560 see the bullet holes in a poster that lines the 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.200 bus shelter at seventh and M Street's northwest, just outside 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.919 one of the entrances to the Mount Vernon Square metro station. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.560 Despite life saving efforts, Eric Darpenni and JackAM did not 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.600 survive his injuries that he was an intern in the 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.840 Capitol Hill office of Congressman Ron Estes of Kansas. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.800 More than one hundred and forty shots fired in a 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:51.200 Northeast community, sending bullets flying Wednesday night, families with children 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.640 having to run to safety as cars, homes, even a 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.600 church were riddled with gunshots. 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.400 Freaking news off the top of eleven tonight at deadly 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.080 doubles shoot in northwest CC right near the FBI Washington 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.640 build office and the Capitol Jewish Museums. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.560 At this hour of the Fox five newsill are two 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.240 separate shootings in the district leave two mandad two others hurt. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.480 We are following some developing news out of DC. Police 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.000 have been criss crossing northeast Washington today. They've responded to 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.400 three different shootings just hours apart. Tragedy strikes again in 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.640 the district, this time likely the youngest victim of gun 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.040 violence in recent years. Tonight, a family is holding on 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.120 to hope, praying that their one year old daughter can ser. 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.200 Five breaking news on this Monday morning. A man has 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.760 been shot and killed outside a four star hotel near 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.880 Union Station. This is a long New Jersey Avenue in 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:41.560 northwest DC. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.320 All right, Joining us now is our friend Senator Mike 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.159 Lee of Utah, and he, by the way, took to 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.760 x to release his take on the federalization of the 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.200 DC as strong positions. Also about Russia, we'll get to 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.240 that too. Obviously, crime is better as a result of 0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.320 Donald Trump. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.599 A lot better as a result that Donald Trump. Look 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.080 part of the Democratic tantrump going on right now against 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:10.240 President Trump. Cleaning up DC involves pretending that crime is 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.479 not a problem, and that it's not a problem in DC. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.320 If you did the same people sean who will see 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.560 a carjacking and say, oh, that was somebody in a 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.599 hurry to go visit their mother in the hospital, Or 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.080 who might see vandalism in the form of graffiti and say, oh, 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.960 it's just somebody practicing their calligraphy. But let's look at 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:31.640 the facts. This city has had real problems. Our nation's capital, Washington, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.760 d C. Saw in twenty twenty three the city recording 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.680 more homicides than at any time in the last two decades. Carjackings, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:47.799 double tourist residents, and government employees alike are now interchangeable prey. Meanwhile, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:53.200 they take such a lax approach toward prosecuting juvenile offenders, 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.160 and it's well known that juvenile offenders are not going 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.279 to do significant time relative to the crime they commit. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.760 So certain organized crime rings in the city have exploited 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:10.600 that and utilize juvenile offenders to engage in horrific violent attacks, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.000 knowing that they won't be punished as severely as others would. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.000 So this is the perfect time to remind the American 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:22.480 people that under the Constitution, this city is federal. When 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.880 Trump talks about federalizing DC, I have plowed that and 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.560 another way we could put it is to just refederalize DC, 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.640 meaning restore that which has always been the case. Washington, 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.200 DC is different than any other city in this country 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.480 because not only is it our nation's capital, but as 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.719 a result of the fact that it's our nation's capital, 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.839 the responsibility for it is federal. The law making power 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.400 exists within the Congress of the United States, and the 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.880 power to administer those laws exists and the executive branch 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.640 under the leadership of President Trump. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.080 Let me ask you, because my understanding is that the 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.920 President can assert this authority constitutionally for thirty days, then 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.040 what happens. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.239 Yeah, at that point, there has to be a vote 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.760 in Congress as to whether to extend that or not. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.440 And I hope and have for my colleagues in the 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.040 Senate or counterparts in the House, whether the Republicans or Democrats, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.120 to give him that power, assuming he seeks it, which 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.920 I suspect he will, and hope that he will because 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.280 it needs to continue. Look, nobody wants to go back 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.760 to where we were just over a week ago. I 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:37.239 posted on X last night, I'm at base Mike Lee account. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.080 I told the story of someone I had spoken to 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.640 just last night who told me about a part of 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.000 town nuts very far from where my office is, but 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.600 a different neighborhood, isn't somebody who told me that every 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.160 day when he goes to work, he gets out of 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:58.120 the metro station at the nearest subway stop to his 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.480 office and has to navigate through a minefield of human excrement, 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:08.200 of trash and human waste that's been left there by vagrants, 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.920 people who are just allowed to live in the streets wherever. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.520 And he said, all of a sudden, for the first 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.640 time ever that he can recall he doesn't have to 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.520 navigate that nobody wants to go back to the way 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.920 it was before they want it clean and they want 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.120 it safe, and we shouldn't turn away from that. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:30.240 No, if you look at it, I mean Chuck Schumer basically, well, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.120 he used an explative and me saying that there's no 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:38.720 way that Democrats will lift a finger to help President 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.240 Trump in his effort to clean up our nations capital. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.080 You know, when Baghdad is safe, for Mexico City is safer, 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.640 Al Salvador is safer, and all of these other countries, 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.440 you know, you got to sit back and wonder what 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.680 part of law and order and safety and security, what 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.880 part of the crime problem in DC and the homicide 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.520 rate in DC? And they not understanding and do they 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:06.320 think there's some political advantage in not enforcing the laws 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.480 of our country and the laws of our land. Is 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.520 there some political benefit at this late stage, knowing the 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.720 failure of defund, dismantle, and no bail laws that maybe 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.640 we're not seeing because I don't see it resonating with 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:21.640 the American people. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.880 Ignoring the filth and danger inherent in a lawless city 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.680 for whatever reason reasons I can't fully comprehend, become kind 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.120 of a sacrament of the left. They feel good about 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.480 themselves when they see it this way. Now, I still 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:44.360 can't fully comprehend that the American people certainly can't. The 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:49.360 world tends to judge a country in many respects on 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:54.160 the basis of its capital Paris, London, Rome. These are 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.320 showcases of national ambition and they're a source of pride 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.920 for those countries. So if that's the and it is, 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.640 and I might one judge the United States after visiting Washington, 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.320 d C. Particularly parts of Washington DC that are lawless, 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.040 they would be they would understandably look at that and 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.800 start to think of corruption, lawlessness, and lack of safety, 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.280 and look, it's we're going to be in a much 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.920 better place when people are safe. When people live in 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.280 a safer place, the safety of that place affects all people. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:36.000 They'll live much better with no credit for it. Well, 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.440 we see right through them. If they can't get credit, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.400 and if it's being done by someone they hate and 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.240 they seek to undermine, then they will try to stop 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.640 that effort from succeeding. And I fear that that's exactly 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:48.559 what's going on here. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.000 Quick break right back more with Utah Senator of Mike 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.600 Lee on the other side. Then we'll get to your 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.160 phone calls coming up eight hundred and nine four one sean. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.800 As we continue. We continue now, Senator Mike Lee, of 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.319 youa is with us, We'll get to your calls coming 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.319 up at the bottom of the half hour. Eight hundred 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.160 and ninety four one seawan. If you want to join us, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.120 let me move on topics and let's talk about and 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.280 get your thoughts on. You know what happened on Friday 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.920 with Vladimir Putin and Alaska, what happened yesterday with NATO 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.720 and European leaders at the White House, and the next 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.920 step seems to be although I'm a little suspicious. I'm 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.600 not sure if I would go in the same order 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.480 as President Trump here, but they'd have bilateral meetings Putin 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.160 and Zelenski, I'm not sure they can be in the 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.000 same room together without killing each other. And then if 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.240 that goes well, then Donald Trump would be at the 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.680 next meeting and then hopefully peace in Europe. I think 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.960 that would be a good thing for the world. The 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.760 fact that Trump got all these people who come to Washington, 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.240 I think was something that only he could accomplish. I 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.160 think that he got Putin at the table is something 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.480 only he could accomplish. Do I trust any of them. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:55.000 I don't. 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.160 I think Europe has been impotent in dealing with Russian 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.840 I think they've also been naive and stupid, And I 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.800 think they should have been having conversations with him over 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.640 the years, and they never talked to him, just like 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.240 Biden never talked to him as he was amassing troops 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:14.480 and military equipment on the Ukrainian border. I think we're 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.120 better off talking than not talking. But I'm not sure 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.959 how this ends. But I do give the President a 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.400 lot of credit for doing something nobody else could pull off. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.160 Look what President Trump has done over the last week 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.760 has been nothing short of courageous and historic. The fact 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.440 that he got President Putin to fly to the United 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.760 States of America and to sit down with him for 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.560 many hours was itself Brett taking Lee heroic. Then what 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.160 happened yesterday at the White House with leaders from all 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:47.120 over Europe coming to talk to him and President Zelenski 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.760 about how to bring a people resolution to this conflict. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.480 This is amazing. You know, with President Biden, all you 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.000 had was fuel for the fire. President Biden just put 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.959 more and more into the fire in order to prolonged 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:07.200 the war while sinking a couple of hundred billion US 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:11.080 dollars into the process. President Trump is trying to bring 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:16.200 about the peace. How exactly it turns into peace remains 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.880 to be seen. There are a couple of things today 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:24.720 I wonder about. You know, last night, the Secretary General 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:29.240 of NATO appeared on Laura Ingram's show and he said 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.600 something that I found perplexing. He said, you know that 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.560 the US and others opposed NATO membership for Ukraine. So 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.559 what's on the table now are Article five type security guarantees. 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.760 I'm reading that correctly. I think that means essentially no. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:43.800 No. 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:48.040 Of course, if you analogize this to an insurance policy, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.800 you know, with the adage that you don't ensure a 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.000 house that's already on fire, visualized Ukraine is a house 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.120 already on fire. NATO is a type of insurance policy. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.199 They're saying, no, we're not going to sell Ukraine this 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.160 insurance policy. We're just going to give him the benefits 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.200 of the insurance policy without him having. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:07.679 To pay for it. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.559 That appears to be what the NATO Secretary General was suggesting. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.520 I hope that's not what he meant, but that is 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.760 very dangerous. The minute we start doing that, that is 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.120 not only ensuring a house on fire, that is essentially 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.560 putting the United States and all other NATO numbers in 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:30.120 a real significant risk of direct conflict with Russia, which 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:31.880 we love to engage. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:36.080 In America under Donald Trump is not doing that. We're 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.000 not going to get involved that way. Look, I'll tell 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.560 you right now, this doesn't work out, and there's a 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.840 chance it won't work out. But if it doesn't work out, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:44.960 I can tell you how this is going to end. 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.040 The President is going to put massive, massive, you know, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.480 sanctions on any country that does any business with Russia, 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.560 and they're going to feel financially. In terms of Ukraine, 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.880 the President either will continue to sell the weapons or 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:05.240 he may not, depending on how things unfold and who 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.480 might be responsible for what. So we'll see what happens anyway, Senator, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.960 we do appreciate you. Senator Mike Lee, Utah, thank you 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.040 so much for being with us. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:13.600 Thank you. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.680 Show Levi Alaska on the Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Levi? 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:18.200 How are you? 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:20.320 Hey? I'm doing great? How are you? 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.280 I'm good? What's going on? 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:23.400 Hey? 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.120 So I just had a question as to why does 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.400 the United States feel that we have to be involved 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:35.800 in every other country's foreign affairs. I noticed, like nobody 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.640 is begrudging of Switzerland for staying neutral for almost two 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.119 hundred years, and it's really helped out with their economy. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:47.280 And Lord knows, we have plenty of our own problems 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.480 to deal with in our own country. And we've heard 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.960 on other radios and you know, talk shows, even YouTube, 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.640 other leaders of other countries are also kind of getting 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.120 annoyed with our constant presence when we have so many 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.080 problems of our own. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:10.280 Well, I mean, if you're talking about isolationism, and there 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.920 are some people that claim to be part of the 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.840 mag of movement and they have a very different interpretation 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.520 of Trump's foreign policy than I do. Or I call 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.880 it the Trump doctrine. Uh, Trump is not an isolationist. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.280 The Trump doctrine is not isolationism. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.400 You do know that, right, absolutely? 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:34.400 All right now, I think that we certainly start with 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.560 the notion that part of the Trump doctrine is no 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.840 forever wars. I think we start there, But that doesn't 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.239 mean that America doesn't play a significant role in the world. 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.400 You know, with the blessings and the strength that the 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.760 United States has accumulated, we want to use that for 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.440 the cause of good. You know, we have the Monroe doctrine. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.760 For example, we're not going to allow We're not going 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:04.640 to allow communism so close to our country. I think 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:10.640 it's the right doctrine, even applicable to today. I think 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.400 the President, in every instance he's used military force, most 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.119 recently in Iran, made the right decision. The idea of 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.920 a nuclear armed Iran the number one state sponsored terror 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:22.840 as a risk we couldn't take. I think the President 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.119 was right in his first term to take out the 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.680 ISIS Caliphate Convert or die. I think he was right 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.600 to take out the number one terrorist, you know, for 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.280 thirty years Solamani. I think it was right to take 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.720 out Bagdaddi in associates. I think at the time he 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.680 was right to drop the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:43.560 The President today, commenting on Israel, he actually backs Bbie 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.919 and said Hamasa's destruction is the only way now to 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.560 free hostages. We've tried the peaceful route, but there's still 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.120 Americans held hostage there, and nobody's done more to get 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.840 hostages free than Donald Trump. Why am I saying all 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.919 of this? If you're saying you want America to be Switzerland. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:06.000 You sounds to me like you're advocating for isolationism. Is 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.320 that what you want America to be? 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.720 And not full isolationism? I think like like during World 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.440 War Two, I do think we should have gotten involved 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.160 a little bit sooner, and we might have been able 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.120 to save a lot more of Europe from the horror 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.520 of war. But I think there needs to be a 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:29.119 higher level of accountability for our leaders, like, for instance, 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.480 the whole bid in getting involved in Ukraine. We might 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.760 have had the chance of completely avoiding all the conflict 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.720 over there had he been held to a higher standard 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.400 and a higher accountability level. You know. I do think 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.679 as America we have a great responsibility to share our 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:50.480 wealth and our you know, legal system with other parts 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.520 of the world that are less fortunate than us. But 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.520 I do wish we would be a little less involved 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:57.399 in other affairs. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.080 Let me put it this way. I shuddered to think 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.960 what the world would look like without the power might 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:11.119 and not perfection, nobody's perfect and the genuine goodness of 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.560 the American people and our belief in the cause of 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.760 freedom and advocating the cause of freedom without being the 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.159 world's policeman and without the concept of forever wars. Anyway, 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.480 I appreciate the call, my friend. Thank you, thoughtful discussion. 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.720 Our good friend, Professor Katz in California is with us now. 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.000 I was just told by my staff that apparently you're 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:35.239 not feeling well. What's going on? 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:43.320 Oh hi, son, Well, yeah, I'm having surgery tomorrow. I 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:49.680 have kidney cancer basically, and I mean, thank God for 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.440 all the modern technology that they were able to find out, 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.200 you know now, it's just there's never a good time 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:58.760 for that, is. 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.000 It in an early staged you know, if it's spread 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:02.680 at all, or. 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.880 They're you know, they're not sure how you know, far 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:13.000 they have spread. But it was kind of like, you know, 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.119 we need to get in there right away. You know. 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.119 My son was you know, told that you know, there 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:22.440 there is no you know cure that you know, that's 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.679 why they need to go in now and do what 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:29.680 they need to do. And you know, so it was yeah, 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.439 that's why they had me like, you know, yo, you 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.719 need to you know, you do you have a living trust? 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.199 Do you have all this stuff in order? So it's like, 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:40.320 you know, yeah, my son just kind of said, listen, doctor, 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.520 you know, I lost my dad to a sudden heart 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.960 attack when I was, you know, sixteen, and I'm twenty four, 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:49.080 and I don't want to lose my mom. And you know, 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.040 so he said, you know, my mom's got a lot 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.160 of things on her bucket list, and you know I'm 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:55.879 one of them exactly. 0:20:56.119 --> 0:21:01.840 So well, I'm saying this. You know, Uh, first of all, 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.360 I do know a lot about medicine because a lot 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:09.280 of my family's been in medicine. If if, if it's 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.280 still localized, your your five year survival rate is like 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:18.400 ninety five ninety eight percent, you know it, and overall, 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.399 even more advanced stages, your your odds are pretty high 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:27.199 for survival. So I would I would have you know, 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.080 take confidence. Let's hope that they got it as early 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.960 as possible. Let's hope it didn't spread. And uh, there's 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:37.439 no dying allowed for listeners of this show. You're not 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.439 allowed to die on me. I'm not going to accept 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:44.080 that as an outcome. So you know, you're going to 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:46.280 be in every one of our thoughts and prayers. And 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.160 I know it's probably very a scary time for you, 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.479 and I know it's not fun to deal with this crap. 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.800 It's a pain in the neck. But know that we're 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.800 all going to be praying for you, and we know 0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.639 you're going to be calling us, you know, after your 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:04.199 surge and letting us know that everything went okay. And uh, 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:05.960 I'm sorry you have to go through this. I mean 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:06.879 that with all my heart. 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:09.960 Thank you. That's that just means the world to me. 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.760 And and absolutely and it has to work out because 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.080 I I mean I get up every morning. I know 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.840 everybody out there has their like, you know, baggs of issues, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.159 but you know, I wake up in the morning and 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.360 you know, the term you hud too means to be grateful. 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.080 It comes from Toda and I am. I'm grateful every 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.200 morning I wake up. The first thing Mom and I say, 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:34.600 is you know President Trump is in the White House. 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:38.600 I'm Minister Netanyah, who's the Prime Minister. And we get 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.240 to you know, listen to you and shot you and 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.439 Linda on the radio, and I get to watch you 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:48.840 twice on the West Coast on Fox and so you know. 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:50.840
