1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: To Sean Hannity show told free. Let me give you 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: our number. It is eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: The controversial nomination of Jack Lou you might remember his 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: Treasury secretary under Obama and his role in the facilitating 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: of the money to Iran and now being put up 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: to be ambassador tot Israel, which is just insane, has 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of attention in DC. And anyway, Jack Lou, 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: under questioning from Senator Ted Cruz, you know, just refuses 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: and dodges and ducks and weaves away from answering these 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: questions about whether he believes the world is safer because 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: of the Iran deal. And then he does want to 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: answer whether or not Ted Cruz's question if he thinks 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: it's a good idea to send humanitarian aid to Gaza. 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Anyone with half a brain knows that aid is going 16 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: right into the hands of terrorist known as Hamas that 17 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: are in full control of Gaza. And yet Joe, you're president, 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: wants to put one hundred million dollars in the hands 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: of the Palestinians. But yet we know the Palestinian the 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: authority is now likely to pay the people involved in 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: the terror attacks recently on Israel. It's insane. Here's Ted 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: Cruz questioning. 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: On October seventh. 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: Hamas used swarms of sophisticated drones in their October seventh attack. 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: Do you believe the world is safer today because of 26 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: two three three two two three one and the expiration 27 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: of the arms in Bargo allowing Iran now to sell 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: inner ballistic missiles and long range drones. 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 4: Senator, I think you would have to agree that the 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: history of the US engagement on JCPOA has changed substantially 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: since I. 32 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: Do you think the world is better and safer with 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 3: the arms of Bargo? 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: Expose the Senator if the US was not. 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: Yes or no? Are we safer today with no arms 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: in Bargo? 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: It's a much more complicated than that, because we're not 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 4: part of JCPOA. Therefore there was no extension of the 39 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: arms embargo. I would have advocated for an extension of 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 4: the arms embargo, and we might well have. 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: And by the way, the Biden administration has been in 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: power two and a half years, the arms embargo is 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: expiring today, and you were pivotal, and that happened under 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 3: ordinary anti terrorism laws. You can't send money whether there's 45 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: a high risk it'll be used for terrorism. But what 46 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: did the Biden administration do? It waved or anti terrorism 47 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: law because their political agenda was so important they were 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: willing to take that high risk. Was it a mistake 49 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza that, 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: in a very real and practical way funded the death 51 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 3: squads and funded the rockets that are being used to 52 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 3: murder Israelis. 53 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 4: Center I was not in government at the time these 54 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 4: asians were made. It was a miss saying. I'm not 55 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 4: familiar with the back and forth that you're referring to. 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 4: But my understanding is the funding that went to Gaza 57 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 4: was for things like the hospital and humanitarians. 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: So was Ofak wrong when it concluded there's a high 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 3: risk that Hamasca to derive benefits. 60 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 4: I would have to look at the document to have hired. 61 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: You were one of a few people that has the 62 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: expertise to do this. 63 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 4: I have high regard for Ophak, I just am not 64 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 4: familiar with the doctor. 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: So is the world safer or less safe because hundreds 66 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: of millions of dollars were sent to Gaza when it's 67 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: controlled by. 68 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 4: Moas Senator Hamasa's activities have proven how evil they are 69 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 4: and how important it is. 70 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: You're not answering that question anyway. 71 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: Joining us now is Senator Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas. Senator, 72 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: welcome back to the program. 73 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: Hey, Sean, thanks for having me on. 74 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's get your reaction to how is it 75 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: even possible that somebody that had the mindset of Jack 76 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: glu and facilitated that that really stupid deal, you know, 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: enriching the Iranians. Now that that nuclear deal, if you recall, 78 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: there was no American inspections allowed at all and any place, anytime, anywhere, 79 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: inspections did not exist. We already know that the Iranians 80 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: never once complied with any points in that agreement, and 81 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: we know they're still pursuing the nuclear weapons that are 82 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: closer than they've ever been. So how does this make 83 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: any sense? 84 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 5: Sean? It doesn't make any sense. Joe Biden, over the 85 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 5: last three years has just picked up where Barack Obama 86 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 5: left off, trying to appease and conciliate the Ayatolas, which 87 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 5: of course has emboldened them to support the kind of 88 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 5: attacks by their proxy group, the Moss that we saw 89 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago the worst slaughter of Jews 90 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 5: is rarer iiO and one of the worst terror attacks 91 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 5: on Americans in modern times, and Jack Blue was right 92 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 5: in the middle of its. Sean. It wasn't just that 93 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 5: he supported and implemented and championed the nuclear deal with Iran. 94 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 5: He went over and above that. Sean. He testified the 95 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 5: Congress in the summer of twenty fifteen that Iran would 96 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 5: not be able to access the US financial system. Seven 97 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 5: months later, in February of twenty sixteen, he broke his 98 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 5: promise and he gave them a license to convert almost 99 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 5: six billion dollars in Omani currency to US dollars, and 100 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 5: then he lied to Congress about that a couple of 101 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 5: years later. So it's much worse than just advocating for 102 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 5: and implementing the nuclear deal, which is bad enough. It's 103 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 5: that he lied to Congress about giving them sanctions relief 104 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 5: over and above the nuclear deal. And that's to say 105 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: nothing Sean for his repeated criticisms of Benjamin ett Yahu, 106 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 5: for instance, for speaking to Congress in twenty fifteen, or 107 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 5: his defense of Barack Obama's refusal to protect Israel from 108 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 5: yet another anti Semitic UN resolution. Now I know that 109 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 5: Democrats say like, well, we've got to confirm Jacklu to 110 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 5: show our support for israel I would turn that around, Sean. 111 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 5: What we need to do is defeat Jacklu's nomination to 112 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: show a new tougher approach to Iran. 113 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. So I looked over the Senate report from twenty 114 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: eighteen to found that lud during his tenure as Secretary 115 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: of the Treasury, granted the specific license that you just 116 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: referred to that authorized the conversion of Iranian assets worth 117 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: billions of US dollars using the US financial system. That 118 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,119 Speaker 1: report also found the administration tried to convert five point 119 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: seven billion dollars from US banks to Iranian assets. It 120 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: noted the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control encouraged two 121 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: US cor correspondent banks to convert the funds. In January 122 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, Obama announced four hundred million in cash and 123 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: a transfer to Iran, which Lou faced scrutiny for at 124 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: that time, and The Wall Street Journal reported at the 125 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: time that the payment was conducted using this combination of 126 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: Swiss and other foreign currencies then transported to Iran, and 127 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: these cargo planes that we had talked at the time 128 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: so much about and to me, you know, at that point, 129 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: if you're not going to explain why you did that, 130 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: and you can't answer fundamental questions, you are First of all, 131 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: your decision making shows you're not qualified for this position 132 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: because the umber one world sponsor of terror number two, 133 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: the fact that you're trying to hide it, I mean 134 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: it almost sounds like a Biden family, you know, syndicate 135 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: operation where a funneling money here, there, in anywhere just 136 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: to get money to Iranium Mullows, which, for the life 137 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: of me, Senator I can't understand. 138 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, Sean, you laid out the facts. Well, I just 139 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 5: want to stress the audience those facts. They don't come 140 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 5: from Sean Hannity. They don't come from Tom Cotton, they 141 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 5: don't come from our friend Linda Graham. They come from 142 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 5: official report of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, led 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 5: by Rob Portman, one of the most widely respected senators 144 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 5: in recent times, from twenty eighteen. These are facts, These 145 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 5: are not allegations, these are not opinions, and Jack lou 146 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 5: won't even answer them in testimony. That's why he cannot 147 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 5: be trusted to be our ambassador. The broader policy, as 148 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 5: you say, is also crazy that we would be enriching 149 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 5: one of our worst enemies, giving them hundreds of billions 150 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 5: of dollars and sanctioned relief under the Obama administration, now 151 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 5: giving them all just another one hundred billion dollars in relief, 152 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 5: whether it's paying them ransom for six million dollars, or 153 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 5: letting them the export oil to China, our worst enemy 154 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 5: in the world, in violation of the US sanctions policy. 155 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 5: It's little wonder that the Iatolas feel emboldened to strike 156 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 5: at the United States, as we've had more than or 157 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 5: at least seven attacks on Americans in the region in 158 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 5: just the last two days, and then they feel embold 159 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 5: in support groups like Hamas as they try to kill 160 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 5: more Israelis. 161 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: Let's talk about where we are. We know the ground 162 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: incursion is imminent, it is happening, it's been green lighted. 163 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: We also have the additional warrior, or certainly Israel does, 164 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: but any peace loving Americans should have it as well. 165 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: You know, a two front war that being from the north. 166 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: Then we've got this little warning from a country called Iran. 167 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: Yet again that time is up and they themselves are 168 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: threatening to involve themselves. Now, Israel I don't think is 169 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: going to have a problem with his Ballah in the 170 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: north and an Humas in the in the outh and 171 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: the guys of border. But now, if the Iranians directly 172 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: involve themselves, we know they're providing weaponry, we know they're 173 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 1: providing military assistance. We know that they were involved in 174 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: the plotting and planning of this worst terror attack in 175 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: Israel's history. If they get if they take on further 176 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: involvement in this, if they take on a bigger role 177 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: in this, if they are actively now also at war 178 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: with Israel, what does that mean, Senator well Sean. 179 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 5: First off, it will mean that Joe Biden has once 180 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 5: again failed to terror Iran, a virulent anti American, anti 181 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 5: Israel regime. What he should have done from the moment 182 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 5: this attack happened on October seventh. This to make it 183 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 5: crystal queer to Iran and to Hesbalah and to other 184 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 5: Iranians supported terrorist groups that any effort to open a 185 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 5: second front in Israel, any attack on Americans in the 186 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 5: region will be treated by the United States as a 187 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 5: direct attack Byron on the United States. And we met 188 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 5: with massive retaliation. He didn't do that, or if he did, 189 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 5: the Ayatolas didn't believe him, because again, we've had at 190 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 5: least seven attacks on Americans in the last forty eight 191 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 5: hours in the Middle East. And look what also happened. 192 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 5: One of our navy destroyers in the Red Sea had 193 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 5: to shoot down land attack cruise missiles being fired from Yemen, 194 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 5: presumably to the north endo Israel. Where did a bunch 195 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 5: of goat herders in Yemen get cruise missiles? Shawn, These 196 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 5: aren't RPGs or a K forty seven their cruise missiles, 197 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 5: and the answer is they got them from Iran. And 198 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 5: Iran has unleashed all of its proxies to try to 199 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 5: kill Americans and try to kill more Israelis. 200 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: Quick break more with Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton. As we 201 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: continue eight hundred and ninety four to one, Shawn our number. 202 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the 203 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: half hours.

Something you end 207 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: up not even liking.

If we 213 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: continue now with Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton News with us, 214 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: can we play this out a little bit. Let's say 215 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: it's a two front war to start, and then we 216 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: have military involvement by Iran. How does that change the 217 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: equation to me that that we then't run the risk 218 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: of a wider conflict in war that could drag in 219 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: the entire Middle East. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe that's maybe 220 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: that's way over the top of my thinking. Correct me 221 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: if you think I'm wrong. Number two. At that point, 222 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: I think all bets are off in terms of what 223 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: Israel's response and what their options then are because their 224 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: very existence is then hanging in the balance. From my perspective, again, 225 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong. 226 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 5: I don't think you're wrong in either front Sewan. On 227 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 5: the first point, the risks of inaction here outweigh the 228 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 5: risk of action. Joe Biden and liberals typically only focus 229 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 5: on the risk of action. Well, then they shot at 230 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 5: another American base, but they didn't kill any Americans. They 231 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 5: just wounded some. We should turn the other cheek. Or 232 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 5: they're demanding more sections for relief and they're saying they're 233 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 5: going to kill Americans if we don't give it to them. 234 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 5: They always obsess about the risks of action. But as 235 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 5: we see time and again throughout the handles of history, 236 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 5: just look at World War One and World War Two, 237 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 5: the risk of inaction is often greater and it is 238 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 5: likely to provoke more attacks on America, more attacks on Israel. 239 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 5: So I think President Biden has to be clear that 240 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 5: we are prepared to act or if Iran strikes at 241 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 5: Israel or strikes at more Americans, and if it is 242 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 5: a wider war with Ron and Hesbala, then yes, I'm 243 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 5: confident that Israel will do what is necessary to ensure 244 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 5: the survival of the Jewish nation. 245 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: That's a frightening scenario, Senator, because it's not being said, 246 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: but we know what's on the table. 247 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 5: If Benjamin Etahu and Benni Gant, and you have gallants 248 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 5: and their war cabinets are convinced that the Jewish nation 249 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 5: survival is at state. I am confident they will take 250 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 5: all necessary steps to ensure its survival. 251 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: Let me ask the harder question, and I know America's 252 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: appetite towards being engaged in foreign entanglements is not very 253 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: strong right now. I'm frankly for good reason, because what 254 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: happens almost every time and is that, you know, everyone's 255 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: all gung ho, oh okay, we're going to get involved 256 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: in this conflict or whatever, and they get involved. Then 257 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, over time, the war becomes politicized, 258 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: and then it gets criticized, and then people there, you know, 259 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: they begin to get soft in their support, and then 260 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: they say, oh, never mind, and they want to pull out. 261 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: In the case of Biden and Afghanistan, that pullout was 262 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: a disaster. And I fear that any military action that 263 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: is not swift and quick, you know, we risk losing 264 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: public support for it. What should America's role. 265 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 5: Be, well, Sean, I think you make some good points 266 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 5: about how hesitance, cautious half measures often do end up failing, 267 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 5: not just on the battlefield, but they quickly lose political support. 268 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 5: And if you're involved in big issues, you should never 269 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 5: go with little measures. I would remind listeners, for instance, 270 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 5: of what Ron Reagan did in nineteen eighty eight, after 271 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 5: he had warned Iran not to put minds in the 272 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 5: Persian Gulf, and they did, and it struck one of 273 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 5: our navy vessels. Within a few days, he launched at 274 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 5: tax that sank half of Iran's navy and guess what, 275 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 5: they stopped mining the Persian Golf. So there are many, 276 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 5: many shades of action from nothing at all, which is 277 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 5: what Joe Biden specializes in, to invading a country and 278 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 5: top its government and occupying it for years. And as 279 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 5: you see with Reagan, not just in the Tank war, 280 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 5: but in bombing Libya after the West Berlin bombing of 281 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 5: our American troops, there are actions that you can take 282 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 5: that are swift and decisive and that will restore the 283 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 5: healthy fear that Aron should have of the United States. 284 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: We really appreciate your leadership, Senator you. I mean, you 285 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: have just been rock solid on every single issue that 286 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: we call and ask you if we're comment on, and 287 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: we appreciate it a lot.

Well, we don't want to admit it because 343 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 7: we get tired of hearing it, but we actually aren't listening, 344 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 7: you know. 345 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: You you actually at one point in the book. Now 346 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: I've read the book cover to cover. Let me tell 347 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: you what I love about it. And I knew when 348 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: you said the war, you know, the truth about the 349 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: war masculinity. It's just going to piss liberals off. And 350 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: I love that aspect of any good book, any good 351 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: conservative writing a book. And you know, but it is 352 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: very very true and men and women, it's just a fact. 353 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: I know some people can't stand to hear it. But 354 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: there are very distinct differences I think there are. There 355 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: is a love that a mother offers a child that 356 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: that men just don't seem to have the capacity to offer. 357 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if you call it maternal instincts, whatever 358 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: it is, but I see a difference myself. It's my 359 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: own personal view. And with men, you know, especially with 360 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: my kids, I always looked at it as part of 361 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: my role tough in their ass up and let them 362 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: know right from wrong and raise them the right way. 363 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: And I always took that role very as you know, 364 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: very seriously, and I think it's the most important job 365 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: you do. So there really is, you know, pushback on this, 366 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: and it's sort of like, you know, especially when we 367 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: talk about the transgenderism, gender identity issues, people seem to 368 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: get somewhat confused over it, and I don't think it 369 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: needs to be that confusing. 370 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 7: Well, Sean, you know one thing that I expressed in 371 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 7: the book, and look, I don't regrutge anybody on what 372 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 7: they they choose, but you know, we're believers and God 373 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 7: made us this way. You know, He made man unique. 374 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 7: He may want woman unique. And this is not a 375 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 7: book that bashes with femininity. You know, we appreciate that, 376 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 7: but men have to take their place. And there's fundamental 377 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 7: differences in the way Guy created us and the way 378 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 7: that we act, the way our emotions are. And that's okay. 379 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 7: And I think we're living in a society right now 380 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 7: that even from a biological standpoint where you see the differences. 381 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 7: You know, I talked about in the book. Back back 382 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 7: in the day, they made this movie about Juana Man. Right, 383 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 7: there's this NBA star mel Docking and all that type 384 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 7: of stuff, and he get kicked out of the mel Lee. Well, 385 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 7: he didn't get to the suit, dresses up as a woman, 386 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 7: and he just turns into this sensation on the court 387 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 7: and I'm like, man, we've never seen a woman doctor 388 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 7: ball like this like this. Well, it comes to find out, 389 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 7: you know, one day the bodysuit is offic it's like 390 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 7: it was a man there in the entire time, and 391 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 7: all the women felt violated. Well that was a movie, 392 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 7: and now we're doing that in real life and we're 393 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 7: celebrating this. And I talked about in the book. His 394 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 7: society is going then men, men are going wrong because 395 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 7: men aren't taking their places. We're not defending the women. 396 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 7: We're not defending our children. We're not standing up for 397 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 7: the Judeo Christian values that God entrusts us to defend. 398 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 7: We're not being chivalrous, we're not opening up the door, 399 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 7: we're not taking our place. We're forcing women that I 400 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 7: saw one suggestion from a college student when I was 401 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 7: speaking to that there should be selective service for women 402 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 7: as well. No way, no way. We've got Ukrainian men 403 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 7: going to the front lines, and then we have our 404 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 7: our kids going to the back of the line. So 405 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 7: there's so much that I address in the book. I 406 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 7: encourage people to go Amazon, there anywhere that they get books, 407 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 7: Barns and Nobles to purchase it. But it's a love 408 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 7: letter to women as well. You want your daughter to 409 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 7: marry American men, you want your son to be an 410 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 7: American man. We talk a lot about our accountability to show. 411 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: No I mean and one of the things you do 412 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: you actually it's a compilation in many ways. It's so 413 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: well researched, and in that you get some of the smartest, 414 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: the wisest, the best advice from from people you know 415 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: all across the political spectrum and different varying professions and 416 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: I love the fact that you intersperse it. You do 417 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: it in a very interesting way. Even my interview is 418 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: just not on my interview now with John Hennity no, 419 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: or Sean Hannity said here, or Mark Levin said here, 420 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: or you know any number of famous people they interviewed 421 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: for the book, which made it very very interesting to me. 422 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, and you and I are libertarian 423 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: on this issue as far as what adults choose to do, 424 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: gender identity, et cetera, et cetera. I'm friends with Caitlin Jenner. 425 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: We've been friends a long time. I respect people's right 426 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: to live in a free country and make those decisions. 427 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: I just don't want teachers having a captive audience of 428 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: students indoctrinating them and contradicting values I'm trying to instill 429 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: in my children. That's not their job. That's where we 430 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: might run sideways. And you're right, it's in many ways, 431 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, Thank God, you know for strong women. I 432 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: just I just I have nothing but admiration. I grew 433 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: up with older sisters. Everyone was strong, they were tough, 434 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: and they made my life a living hell. Of you 435 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: want to know the truth, one of the one of 436 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: the things that I know about you, and and you 437 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: talk about your parents in this book. And you know, 438 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: I've always you know, from the time that I met you, 439 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: I always saw that you you had just natural talent 440 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: and talent that I didn't believe I had. For sure, 441 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: you just belonged on television, and I knew your career 442 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: was going to explode. And I told you that from 443 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: the beginning. You didn't believe me for a long time, 444 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: but I ended up being right on pretty much everything 445 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: I told you what happened, And and my other advice 446 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: to you that will keep private is really good advice, 447 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,239 Speaker 1: and I hope you always forever listen to it, just 448 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: like I want my son and my daughter to listen 449 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: to my advice too. And you called me old man 450 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: for it, and I won't forgive you for that part 451 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: of it. But you know, you've got all this talent 452 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: and your ability to connect with people. When I watch 453 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: you in diners, when I watch you talking to people 454 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: on the street, when I see you in various locations 455 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: where news is breaking, I mean, your connection with people 456 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: is just real. And I would say, you know, Laurence 457 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: Jones keeping it real every day, and you are always 458 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: asking the question that I most want to ask, which 459 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: is a gift? 460 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 7: You know, Sean, You've been I mean from day one, 461 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 7: and I think when I interview you doing this book, 462 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 7: I say, you know, I'm just curious because you never 463 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 7: asked for anything in return. You're supporting me so in 464 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 7: my career, treating me like a second son, family vacations, 465 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 7: and just always the first call, because no young man 466 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 7: wants to call their parents because they feel like we 467 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 7: feel like we've failed. But the any emergency phone call 468 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 7: is Sean Hannity. And you know, you walk me through 469 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 7: this this industry that my parents could have never walked 470 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 7: me through. And I talked about this in the book 471 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 7: because I think it's important. You know, my mom got 472 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 7: pregnant with me at sixteen years old. My dad married 473 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 7: her immediately, immediately, and they just celebrated thirty years of marriage. 474 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 7: But he took his place. 475 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: You know what a beautiful story. 476 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 7: Isn't it. It's crazy because you don't hear these stories 477 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 7: today's time. But I'm not Lawrence Jones on Fox News. 478 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 7: Travel around the country. If my dad doesn't take his 479 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 7: place in the household, and it is an epidemic in 480 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 7: this country of men that don't want to do men things, 481 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 7: get women pregnant, but don't want to step up to 482 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 7: the plate. And that doesn't mean that things are going 483 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 7: to be all good and gravy. But you have a responsibility. 484 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 7: If you help bring a child in this world, it 485 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 7: is your duty to help raise that child. And part 486 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 7: of the reason why we have things that are happening 487 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 7: all across this country of drugs because men aren't taking 488 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 7: their roles and so to a certain effect, I interviewed 489 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 7: all these other men that have been successful and that 490 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 7: have got your men and have good perspectives because I 491 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 7: wanted to give an example also to the men that 492 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 7: are struggling out there to take their place, that you 493 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 7: can do it. And here's a map for you. If 494 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 7: you didn't have a dad, if you didn't have an uncle, 495 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 7: if you didn't have a big brother, this is a 496 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 7: road map for you. You can do it, even if you 497 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 7: didn't have that leadership in your household. 498 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: Well, I will say this, and most of our conversations 499 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: are private and personal and two friends talking. But one 500 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: piece of advice I did give you after you know, 501 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: you shared with me your life's background and your family, 502 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: and you know you told me your mom. You told 503 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: me this story about your mom getting pregnant. At sixteen, 504 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: you told me the story about your dad and your mom. 505 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: It turns out ends up being a preacher and she's 506 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: a darn good one. And I met your family and 507 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: your dad is a truck driver. And you know where 508 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm going with this? What did I always say? Don't 509 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: ever what forget what? 510 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 7: This is rule number one. Do never forget your mom 511 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 7: the preacher, and your dad the truck drive. 512 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: Oh what would and what would they think of whatever 513 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: it is you're doing or deciding. 514 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 7: That's exactly right, especially when they're. 515 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: Not around, Especially when they're not around now. I'd like 516 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: to think that it might have been a moment that 517 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: you start thinking about it. For example, I guarantee you 518 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: right now, there's somebody on their way listening to this 519 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: radio program, hearing our voices that maybe go into the 520 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: drug dealer. My advice is turn around and go home. 521 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: You know there's somebody maybe going to meet somebody to 522 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: hook up with, and they're married and they have children. 523 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: My advice is turn your car around and get the 524 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: hell home and get out of it before you create 525 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: trouble in your life. Because we all have choices in 526 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: this life and you know it and I know it, 527 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: and it happens every day, and then you know you 528 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: suffer the consequences of these bad decisions. And I will 529 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: tell you, and I've said this publicly many times, I 530 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: don't think fame is healthy at all. 531 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 7: Terrible. 532 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: It's got a downside. People's egos. We live it, we 533 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: see it. We can name names. We don't, but I should, 534 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, I mean it is. Some of these egos 535 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: get so out of control over time. And I'm like, man, 536 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: you you just forgot where you came from. You can't 537 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: forget where you come from. My mom was a prison guard, 538 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: my dad was a family cort probation guy and a waiter. 539 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm not forgetting that part of their lives. That's who 540 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: I am. I grew up poor. 541 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 7: You can't. And you know, I remember early on in 542 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 7: my career, you gave me all these warnings of you know, 543 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 7: things that come with the job. And I always used 544 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 7: to make fun of you because. 545 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: You know you're unmerciful doing that, But go ahead, no, 546 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: I know I love it. 547 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 7: I love it.
