11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 4: Voice filter.

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: These people are domestic terrorists and unapologetic.

13
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: We're here to take a stand for God and country.

Speaker 4: I'm Steve Grew today, Monday, December, the twenty second year

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 4: of our Lord, twenty twenty five. It's good to day's tipsy.

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: It's always thank you for joining us here in Real

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 4: America's Voice. I truly appreciate you being here in the

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 4: Christmas season. The US military launch decisive strikes against dozens

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: of Islamic state targets in Central Syria Friday in response

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 4: to a deadly attack on American personnel that left two

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: American soldiers and a civilian interpreter dead. President Trump promised

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: action and delivered yet again. More on that coming up

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 4: a bit later. Also, Americans could see the biggest refund

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: checks in history come twenty twenty six. In fact, some

27
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 4: say those checks could run as high as twenty thousand

28
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: dollars each.

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: Talk about one big, beautiful bill.

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 4: Yet the Democrats continue to push their false narrative of

31
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: failing economy.

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: More on that as well, and then later.

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: More oil tankers being targeted for running illegal black market

34
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: oil out of Venezuela, and the US Coast Guard is

35
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 4: done playing games. More ships could soon be in the

36
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: hands of the United States. All those details and updates

37
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: coming your way. At first, I start talking about the

38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: Democrat Party because the Democrats seem to be completely estranged

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: from the truth. They have no plays left with the

40
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: heart of the American people other than to just lie

41
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: through their teeth about President Trump, about Republicans, about the

42
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: failures of their own party. Their most recent lie is

43
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: such a stretch I can't even believe that the rest

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: of left is falling in line with this narrative. President

45
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: Trump has some great plans for our nations to hundred

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: fiftieth anniversary coming out on the fourth of July twenty

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: twenty sixth.

48
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: This is one of them. Listen.

49
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 5: From June twenty fifth to July tenth of next year,

50
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 5: we will host the Great American State Fair on the

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 5: National Mall, featuring pavilions from all fifty states, highlighting breathtaking

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 5: innovations and celebrating America's exceptional history and culture. Frankly, you'll

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 5: never see anything like it, and you'll never see anything

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 5: like it again.

55
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: In the fall, we.

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 5: Will host the first ever Patriot Games, an unprecedented four

57
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 5: day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes, one

58
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 5: young man and one young woman from each state and territory.

59
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 5: But I promised there will be no men playing in

60
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: women's sports.

61
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: You're not going to see that. You'll see everything but that. Now,

62
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: that sounds great to me.

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: A bunch of healthy, strong, proud, competitive young Americans being

64
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: given a chance to represent their home states in the

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: nation's capital. It'll be encouraging to see the next generation

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: excel at something they love.

67
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, that's not.

68
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: The reaction that the Left is having, of course, not No,

69
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: they've fallen into hysteric exclaiming this is exactly like the

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: Hunger Games. If you're not familiar, that's a dystopian fictional

71
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: contest which men and women kill each other on live television.

72
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 4: That's what they're comparing what you just heard too.

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: Donald Trump just announced the creation of the Patriot Games

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: and quote unprecedented four day athletic event unquote with quote

76
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: one young man and one young woman from each state

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: and territory. Does that sound like something to you? Does

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: that sound familiar to anyone?

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: Euler?

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: Euler Handmaid's Tale wasn't enough. We're also in Hunger Games.

81
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: We're doing the Hunger Games. I still become speechless with

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: Suzanne Collins, by the way, should sue him for copyright infringement.

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 6: I just.

84
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: This is the world we live in now.

85
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 4: No, that's the strange world between your ears. Please be serious.

86
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: You can't actually believe that these high schoolers competing in

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: sports they've devoted their entire careers to is the same

88
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: thing as forcing young people and citizens to battle to

89
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: the death on live stream. But yes, that's what they're

90
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: going on and on about. It's not just the Twitter warriors,

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: it's democratic governors. Mainstream media gobbling this up like some

92
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: holiday sugar cookies. I think we really need an intervention

93
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: and probably pretty soon.

94
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

95
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 7: President Trump says twenty twenty six is going to be

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 7: a celebrat of America.

97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Like no other.

98
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 7: He's announced several events marking America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday,

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 7: including the first ever Patriot Games, which will pit top

100
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 7: high school athletes from around the country against each other.

101
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 7: The competition is already being mocked, drawing wide comparisons to

102
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 7: the popular book and movie The Hunger Games, California Governor

103
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 7: Gavin Newsom posting the famous quote may the odds ever

104
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 7: be in your favor? And Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker posting

105
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 7: this picture from the film ms now is Jake trailer

106
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 7: is at the White House for us. Do we even

107
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 7: know what exactly the Patriot Games are?

108
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, Chris, it's one high school boy from each state,

109
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 8: one high school girl from each state, one hundred young

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 8: athletes in total, dueling it out for America's two hundred

111
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 8: and fiftieth anniversary.

112
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: This is the Patriot Games.

113
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 8: Not to, as you said, be confused with the Hunger Games,

114
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 8: as it's kind of getting mocks online.

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: For there's actually be no way to intellectually confuse the two.

116
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: But put a past the Democrats, Knwsom and Prinskers should

117
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: be ashamed of themselves for framing healthy competition pitting themselves

118
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: against each other. I guess I watched that all weekend.

119
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: It's called football. They're pitting themselves against each other. But

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: of course Prince Gert knew them.

121
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: They have no shame.

122
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: This is the only way they know how to play

123
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: the game, dirty and dishonest completely. And did you notice

124
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: the language that host there, Like I said, pitting teenagers

125
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 4: against each other, having them duel it out. It's not

126
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: a duel, it's track and field and things like that.

127
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: There's no shots being fired, no swords being drawn. But

128
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: these pundits know exactly what they're doing when they choose

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 4: language like that. I mean, I guess we're pitting football

130
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 4: teams against each other. Like I said, all weekend, what

131
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: a load of crap. I've heard some of the other

132
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 4: days say they were so ashamed of their country for

133
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: hosting something like this.

134
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: A shamed a shame for what?

135
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: Because there's great young athletes coming to our capital to

136
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: participate in a celebration of sport in America. These people

137
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: just lie about anything and everything. Back in Joe Biden's day,

138
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: it was the border is secure, Biden's just fine. Now

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: it's the Patriot Games are the same thing as people

140
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: killing each other on live television.

141
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: Even though they're just competing in sports.

142
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: That and lying about the military strikes against Narco Terrace

143
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: and anything else they can think of. Yeah, that's another lie.

144
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: That's Secretary of Saint Marco Rubio is taking issue with.

145
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 9: Listen to this, Okay, so you know I was part

146
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 9: of this thing in the past as well. But you

147
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 9: do this briefing, you answer all the questions, and they

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 9: go out and tell people we heard nothing, we saw nothing,

149
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 9: you know that.

150
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: We were pleased with.

151
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 9: They already had their answer before they went in. But

152
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 9: we do them anyways, and we continue to do them.

153
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 9: Not to mention the individual calls I've had with leaders

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 9: in Congress, then I'm not going to disclose what those are.

155
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 9: So everybody over there does know what we're doing and

156
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 9: know why we're doing it, and we've kept conquerors fully apprized,

157
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 9: and we'll continue.

158
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: To do so.

159
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: Exactly like Rubio said, the Democrats already had their narrative.

160
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: They're going to run with it no matter what.

161
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: They don't care about the facts or reality, just the

162
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: narrative they're always spinning and selling. Let no further than

163
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: Representative Jasmine Crockett who thanks her ticket for a Texas sentence.

164
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: It is just more dishonesty. Oh boy, here it is.

165
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 10: Do you have.

166
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: Concerns about the President's health and his metal acuity?

167
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 11: No?

168
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I had none.

169
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: Now, granted I didn't see Joe Biden every single day,

170
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: but I did have an opportunity to interact with the President.

171
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 12: I never had a concern.

172
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 9: If there's anyone that I am concerned about their mental acuity,

173
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 9: it is the current occupant.

174
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: Oh please.

175
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: The Democrats still pulling all the same stunts in the

176
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 4: mainstream media is just a complicit helper in it.

177
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: All.

178
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 4: Democrats believe they've found a gold mine and explaining Jeffrey

179
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: Epstein documents, even though every time we take a closer

180
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: look at the documents and the photos that are being released,

181
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: there's a lot more dirt on big name Democrats like

182
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 4: say Bill Clinton, and almost nothing there at all on

183
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: Donald Trump.

184
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: We knew that ahead of.

185
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: Time, we know it more now and MSNBC needs to

186
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: issue a retraction or get ready to be sued after

187
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: they're so called legal reporter try to claim that President

188
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: Trump was pictured with underage victims of Jeffrey Epstein, when

189
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: in reality these were Hawaiian traffic models doing a sun

190
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: tanned lotion of ven at mar Lago.

191
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: Here it is, but at the one thing that stands

192
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 6: out to me is the people whose faces are not

193
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 6: redacted as compared with images where we can see that

194
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 6: the women have faces that are redacted or blurred out.

195
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 6: That suggests to me that either the estate and or

196
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: the committee believe that some of these women are either

197
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 6: minors and or survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell.

198
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: Nobody believes that Democrats redacted the faces of adult sun

199
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: tan lotion models to fake a scandal, just like they

200
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: retracted Virginia Jeffrey's name from those emails earlier to insinuate

201
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: more wrongdoing than never happened. They want to make him

202
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: responsible for things he didn't do, while taking no accountability

203
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: for their own people and their own skeletons, and refusing

204
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: to give him credit for what he is doing. I mean,

205
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: it was Bill Clinton that was featured heavily in the

206
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 4: Epstein foules.

207
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's everywhere.

208
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: So bad is it that his wife's former running mate,

209
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton's former running mate, Senator Tim Kaine is calling

210
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: it out, saying, explain yourself, mister Clinton.

211
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: Here's another one.

212
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: That's seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars Christmas bonus.

213
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: That he gave to our troops.

214
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 4: These service members, who are often living on a tight

215
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 4: budget and missing Christmases on their own, they are ecstatic

216
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 4: about the bonus giving Trump credit.

217
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: The left can't stand it. They hate this.

218
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 4: They're rating on the troops parade, which is quite the

219
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 4: opposite of the Christmas spirit, by the way, and this

220
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: guy points it out.

221
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 10: Listen, then you've got a bunch of Democrats in the

222
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 10: comments who hate seeing Trump get any type of credit.

223
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 10: Let's look at what they're saying to our troops. That

224
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 10: is not a bonus. They just renamed the housing allow

225
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 10: us that Congress approved people are bought so easily. No way,

226
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 10: y'all act excited over some one point seven k Shut up,

227
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 10: Shut up. You guys are annoying again. They hate seeing

228
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 10: Trump get credit for anything. So the fact that the

229
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 10: troops are happy and they're damn thing about a bonus

230
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 10: and it came from Trump. Oh no, we gotta mentally

231
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 10: warp them and think that Trump isn't really trying to

232
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 10: help them or doesn't care about them. I hate to

233
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 10: see Trump get credit. You know that bonus. He doesn't

234
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 10: really care about you. Right, couldn't be me being happy

235
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 10: over a one point seven k bonus. You know that

236
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 10: was from somewhere else that he probably wasn't supposed to

237
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 10: take that money from. Right again, like I said earlier,

238
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 10: shut up, shut it up.

239
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: Shut up.

240
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: Democrats were fine, of course, were shelling out billions of

241
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: dollars to Ukraine.

242
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: They had no idea where it was going.

243
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 4: But don't want our troops to receive a little Christmas bonus.

244
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: They have certainly lost the plot, and they've lost the

245
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: respect of true, every day ordinary Americans if they ever

246
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: had it. And that's really what this all comes down to.

247
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 4: The Democrats don't just disagree with President Trump or conservatives

248
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: on policy. They fundamentally resent the people this country actually

249
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: belongs to. They resent competition, they resent excellence, they resent patriotism,

250
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 4: and they especially resent it when everyday Americans respond positively

251
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 4: to any of it, especially to President Trump. They cannot

252
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 4: stand the idea of young people striving, winning, and representing

253
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: their states with pride, because that doesn't fit the victimhood

254
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: narrative them in selling for decades. They can't stand truce

255
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: being rewarded because it reminds Americans its service still matters,

256
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: sacrifice still matters, and leadership still matters.

257
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: So instead of celebrating the two.

258
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 4: Hundred and fiftieth anniversary or the greatest nation on Earth,

259
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: they turn it into a dystopian horror movie. Instead of

260
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 4: applauding young athletes, they accuse the president of cruelty. Cruelty

261
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: instead of thinking service members, they nippick, smear and smear.

262
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 4: It's not leadership, it just open bitterness. In the media,

263
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: they don't push back, they amplify it. They choose loaded language, misleading, imagery,

264
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 4: and outright falsehoods because outrage gets clicks and fear keeps

265
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 4: their audience loyal through The secondary context is optional. Narrative

266
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 4: is everything. That's their behavior. But here's the good news.

267
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: The American people see through it. They know the difference

268
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: between competition and cruelty, They know the difference between patriotism

269
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: and propaganda, and they know when they're being lied to

270
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 4: This country wasn't built by people who were afraid of

271
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 4: excellence or ashamed of success. It was built by people

272
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 4: who embraced challenge on oured's service and believe the next

273
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: generation could be even better than the last. Democrats may

274
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: have lost the plot, but America hasn't. We haven't, and

275
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 4: no amount of lying is ever going to change that.

276
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: Trust me on this coming up after the break, American

277
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: forces recently conducted military strikes and suspected ISIS sites throughout Syria.

278
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: This comes after President Trump promised swift and decided action

279
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 4: after an ISIS ambush left to American soldiers and a

280
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: civilian dead.

281
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: Details coming up.

282
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 7: Of the.

283
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 4: United States military launched decisive strikes against dozens of the

284
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 4: Islamic State Terrors targets on central Syria on Friday in

285
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 4: response with a deadly attack on American personnel there. President

286
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: Trump had promised swift retaliation if those two US soldiers

287
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,119
Speaker 4: and a civilian interpreter were killed by an ISIS ambush

288
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: in Syria. Three others also wounded in that attack. Defense

289
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: Secretary Pete Hegseth called the operation, dubbed Operation Hawkeye Strike,

290
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: a declaration of vengeance, emphasizing that the US hunted and

291
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: eliminated ISIS fighters, infrastructure weapons all over Syria. Strikes involved

292
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: F fifteen's, A tens, Apache, helicopters, and rocket systems, with

293
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: Jordanian jets providing support as well. While Syria reaffirmed his

294
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: commitment to eliminating ISIS safe Haye Evans. President Trump hailed

295
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: the operations as a very serious retaliation, sending a clear

296
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 4: message that America will protect its troops and stand firm

297
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: against terrorism no matter where it happens. Jemmy to discuss this,

298
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: retired Army colonel, former congressman and executive director at the

299
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 4: American Constitutional Rights Union, Lieutenant Colonel Allen Wess, Colonel lice

300
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 4: to see.

301
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: You, pleas it be with you. Merry Christmas, Steve.

302
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 4: Mery, Christmas, Colonel. Look, the President said we are going

303
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 4: to retaliate. It's going to be vicious, and he delivered.

304
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 4: Didn't Hey, yeah, he absolutely did.

305
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: Now. I think the even greater story about this is

306
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: the coalition you just mentioned, serious support, Jordanian support. So

307
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: these are countries that are starting to understand that we

308
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: don't want the Islamic Jihadis, we don't want this terrorist

309
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: aspect in the Middle East, and I think that that

310
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: is an offshoot that is a direct result of having

311
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: strong leadership there in the White House with President Trump.

312
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: We did not see that with Barack Obama, who gave

313
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: birth to ISIS. We did not see that with Joe Biden,

314
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: who turned tail and ran from Afghanistan, which emboldened Islamic jihadism,

315
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: not to mention Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and others.

316
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: So I think that this is a great moment. It

317
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: shows that we will continue to put pressure on Islamic

318
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 3: terrorists terrorists, and we will go after them wherever they

319
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: try to create a sanctuary.

320
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: Well, what do you make of the Syrian leadership? This

321
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 4: should be a rebuttal to the critics that spoke out.

322
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: And look, I understand the man in charge of Syria

323
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: right now was once affiliated with ISIS. He was a terrorist,

324
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: but he's on a different side now. And sometimes when

325
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: you want to make inroads, you've got to deal with

326
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: unsavory people.

327
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: Would you agree, Yeah, But I mean how often have

328
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: we seen people that were progressive and leftists all of

329
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: a sudden become good, strong constitutional conservatives. We've seen many

330
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: other people that have defected. We remember the days of

331
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: people defecting from the old Soviet Union, and so you

332
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: have people that were warrant communists, you have people that

333
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 3: were once Islami jihadis, and they have seen a different light.

334
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: And I think that's what we have to do. We

335
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: have to win the information war. We have to win

336
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: that propaganda war again and again. As I stated, we

337
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: have to continue to put pressure on them. And when

338
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: you look at what's going on in Gaza, Hamas is reconstituting,

339
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: they are regenerating their their combat power. So we've got

340
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: to once again keep that pressure on them as well.

341
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I look at Jordan here, they helped out and

342
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 4: I'll say this again, Jordan was instrumental in the attack

343
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: on Iran.

344
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: Here a few months ago, we took out their nuclear facilities.

345
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: Jordan has quietly been a strong ally of the United

346
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 4: States for many, many years, haven't they.

347
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely right. And remember back in the day,

348
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: you know, it was yasa Arafatt and when he was

349
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: starting out with the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the attacks

350
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: that he weighs against the Jordanian people, and that's why

351
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: they expelled him out of those refugee camps and he

352
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: created this modern day is Islamic terrorists movement. We call

353
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: it Fatah now, but the offshoot of it being Hamas.

354
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 3: So Jordan has always stood by us and they have

355
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: constantly given us those types of support and also basis

356
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: of operations where we can continue to have that show

357
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: of force in deterrence there in the Middle East.

358
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: Donald Trump has changed the dynamic of the Middle East

359
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 4: with the Abraham Accords, with strikes like this, with the

360
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 4: attack on Iran, he has changed the metric in the

361
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 4: Middle East. We are closer to peace, I believe overall. Look,

362
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: are you gonna have problems like this, Yes you are.

363
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 4: Will there be more attacks, yes there will. But Donald

364
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 4: Trump has changed the metrics and the dynamics of the

365
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: situation politically and militarily in the Middle East.

366
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: Would you agree, no, absolutely right. You know it is

367
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: compromise of peace meant negotiation. Those are the thing as weaknesses.

368
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: That's very enticing to people in the Middle East, especially

369
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: those Jahatis, what they respect, what they honor of strength

370
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: and might. We did not see that for the twelve

371
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: years of Barack Obama and Joe Biden combined. When did

372
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: we see it? We saw on the first Trump term

373
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: when we got those Abraham Coors and we continue to

374
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: see it now in the very first year of his

375
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: second term. That's what we have to continue to show.

376
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: And also you have to have that credible military deterrent

377
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: is there. You want to try to use the economic means,

378
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 3: the diplomatic means, informational means, but some people just have

379
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 3: to get a hammer over the head every now and then.

380
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Yes, isn't that the truth?

381
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: As we head toward twenty twenty six, Donald Hop's had

382
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: a very successful year stopping war, stopping death all over

383
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: this planet.

384
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: But the one that so hangs out there, of course,

385
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: you create in Russia.

386
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 4: I'm hopeful that there can be a breakthrough come twenty

387
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 4: twenty six.

388
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: I think we all are. What's it going to take.

389
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: I think we're going to have to realize that Bladimir

390
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: Putin is not an honest broker, that he is the

391
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 3: person that once said the greatest disappointment for him of

392
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: the essentially was the collapse of the Soviet Union. He

393
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: is going to continue to seek to re establish that

394
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 3: he is a brutal dictator and autocrat, and he will

395
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: use force and means such as that to re establish

396
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: the old Soviet Union, a stronger Russia. So we have

397
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: to have that coalition of the willing that stands against

398
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: him and puts that pressure on him economically first and foremost,

399
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: but then if necessary, we have to have that military

400
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 3: deterrent force that gets his attention.

401
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 4: I agree, colonel. I appreciate you being here. Merry Christmas

402
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 4: do you and your family. I hope you have a

403
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: wonderful holiday.

404
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: Mary Christmas and hopefully the Michigan Wolver where he's found

405
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: a coach under the Christmas tree.

406
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be nice.

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: Nick Saban's available anyhow, all right, thank you, colonel, greatly

408
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: appreciate it. All right, Urbans available, Urban Meyer, right anyhow,

409
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: Coming up after the break, I'll discuss how a rising

410
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 4: American tech company known as Kupang has been landed in

411
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 4: the center of an American US in trade breakdown. Those

412
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 4: details and more are coming up on America's Voice.

413
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Live South Korea.

414
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 4: An American ally deeply benefits from investments by American corporations

415
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: and receives protection from more than twenty eight thousand, five

416
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 4: hundred US military personnel every single day. But in an

417
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 4: unusual turn of events, the US Korea trade deal appears

418
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: to be on the rocks, doing part of the Korean

419
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 4: government's growing hate for a rising US tech company, Coupang.

420
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 4: Kupang is a Seattle headquartered online retailer that serves one

421
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: out of every two Korean adults and exports billions of

422
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: dollars of American goods to Korea As a result. Kupeng

423
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: is a household name in Korea, serving as the nation's

424
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 4: second largest employer after Samsung, and has been the largest

425
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 4: source of US foreign direct investment in the country. Company

426
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 4: is a model of the benefits of the US South

427
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: Korean Alliance. However, Paying's success is stoking anti American sediments.

428
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 4: Korean officials increasingly view American companies like Coupeng, Amazon, Meta, Google,

429
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 4: and Netflix as a competitive threat that they want to stop.

430
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 4: Korean lawmakers hate American companies so much it appears they're

431
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: even willing to risk the future of the US Korea

432
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: trade deal. Following a low sensitivit data breach at Kupeng

433
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 4: last month, the Koreans issued a criminal referral against Kupeg's

434
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 4: American founder and chairman, Bomb Kim, which could result in

435
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 4: his arrest if he tries to re enter the country,

436
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 4: President Lee issued a directive to bankrupt Coupeng. The Korean

437
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: National Assembly held a thirteen hour hearing with kupeg's interim CEO,

438
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 4: where members lobbed personal insults, denied Coupeng witnesses, legal counsel.

439
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 4: Kupeg's offices were also rated by the Korean police and

440
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 4: financial supervisory services. That fast, as regulators at the Korean

441
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 4: Fair Trade Commission are introducing a new aggressive regulatory policy

442
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 4: called the Farness Act that will harm US companies ability

443
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 4: to do business and give established local companies an upper

444
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: hand in their markets. Korean regulators are also regularly raiding

445
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 4: US company offices, grabbing computers, confiscating sensitive information, and conducting

446
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 4: screaming interrogations of American workers, all in an effort to

447
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: intimidate the companies and their employees from conducting business.

448
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: There.

449
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: Top regulator behind these policies kfs TC chair j Being Key.

450
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: He recently described white Midwestern American workers as angry and

451
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: having a sense of deprivation due to Trump's policies, calling

452
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 4: them a failure. This is resulting in fallout in Washington,

453
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 4: as you can imagine. Political reported last week that the

454
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: US Trade Representative abruptly canceled a meeting with Korean officials

455
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 4: to begin implementing the trade agreement, in part because the

456
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 4: administration became aware of the Fairness Act introduction and the.

457
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: Treatment of Coupeng.

458
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 4: The US House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Korea's

459
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 4: continued harassment of companies like Coupeng. House Judiciary Committee leaders

460
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 4: warning Korean lawmakers simply to stop tongs. When dary lights

461
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: are recently ripped into countries like Korea for attacking American businesses,

462
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: take a look.

463
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 13: President Trump is the first president in a very long

464
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 13: time to ask what is the relevant market? Three out

465
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 13: of our four witnesses understand the relevant market and antitrust

466
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 13: is now the world, and in tech it is the world.

467
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 13: And when countries like Korea, Australia, most of Europe, countries

468
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 13: that we have in Brazil for that matter, we considered

469
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 13: allies in fact use their vast market power, not always

470
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 13: in that product, but their vast market power as sovereign

471
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 13: nations to in fact adversely affect our competitiveness. It doesn't matter,

472
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 13: and I'll go on the record, it doesn't matter if

473
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 13: you have a one hundred percent market share in the

474
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 13: United States and a one hundred percent global market share

475
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 13: as an original innovator, if in fact, foreign nations, in

476
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 13: jealousy or simply not running to in fact allow these

477
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 13: unicorns to exist, in fact, use their.

478
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: Market power to stop you.

479
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 13: That is what's going on often with our closest allies.

480
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: Earlier this fall, just hours after President Lee's meeting at

481
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: the White House, President Trump posted a warning onto his

482
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: social which was confirmed to be targeted at Korea, declaring

483
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: the countries that harm or discriminate against American technology will

484
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: face substantial additional tariffs. The extreme steps Career is willing

485
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: to take to harm Kupang and other American companies is concerning.

486
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: President Trump should not stand for this treatment by a

487
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 4: foreign country, and especially an ally. We'll keep you updated

488
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 4: on this story. There's more details emerge coming up.

489

Speaker 1: After the break.

490
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: I'll discuss the prospect of bigger tax refund checks than

491
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: you've ever seen before coming next year. Latest evered by

492

Speaker 1: Public filing.

507
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 4: Affordability it's a word that has seen heavy use and

508
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 4: political vernacular, and it will seemingly stick.

509
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: As we had an twenty twenty six.

510
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: The Trump administration and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett

511
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: took these concerns and indicated that America is going to

512
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: see the biggest refund cycle ever ever in the history

513
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 4: of America and that Americans will be getting massive refund

514
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 4: checks in the spring of twenty six and further noted

515
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 4: that the increases in wages compared to inflation was the

516
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 4: driving force.

517
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: For these bigger refund checks.

518
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: As the Trump administration continues to tackle affordability bit by bit,

519
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 4: this promise of a larger tax refund does give some

520
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 4: hold and all we can do is wait to see

521
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 4: if this promise comes to fruition. Join me to discuss

522
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: as GOP strategist and the president of Digital Art at

523
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 4: Frontline Strategies, Mike Han.

524
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: Mike, thank you for being here today. Thanks for having me.

525
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: Massive refund checks the biggest ever. I'm reading twenty thousand

526
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: dollars refund checks. That's pretty remarkable. That's game changing for

527
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: families for those that get checks that big, isn't it.

528
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 11: It is pretty remarkable and life changing. I mean, this

529
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 11: is what happens when you shrink government, right. So this

530
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 11: is all a result of the one big, beautiful bill.

531
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 11: It's the largest middle class tax cuts ever passed in

532
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 11: US history. I think it's funny to watch the Democrats

533
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 11: get all hyped up over the word affordability. Look, what

534
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 11: frustrates me about this whole thing is that Joe Biden

535
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 11: had four years to direct the economy, and they're trying

536
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 11: to judge President Trump after eleven months. The fact of

537
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 11: the matter is is that twenty twenty six, the economic

538
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 11: outlook is very very strong. You have, as we just mentioned,

539
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 11: tax refunds. Coming back to folks, you have a new

540
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 11: Fed chaer who's going to lower interest rates and allow

541
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 11: people to be able to buy homes for the first

542
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 11: time you have as a result of the big beautiful bill.

543
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 11: No tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no

544
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 11: tax on overtime. So look, the economic outlook for twenty

545
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 11: twenty six is very favorable, and I think Republicans are

546
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 11: going to really have the message on that when these

547
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 11: things start to take place, and I do think this

548
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 11: whole affordability nive narrative is going to really flipped around

549
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 11: and put the Democrats on their head.

550
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that.

551
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the Dow today, up two hundred and

552
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 4: thirty five points, another good day on the market. As

553
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 4: I check in on that gas prices for millions of

554
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 4: Americans now below two dollars and fifty cents a gown.

555
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: I saw it below two fifty here in Michigan where

556
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 4: I live. Some states like Oklahoma and Texas sea gas

557
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 4: less than two dollars a gown. If we get to

558
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 4: the fourth of July midyear twenty twenty six, and gases

559
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 4: add are about two dollars, Inflation stays low, mortgage rates

560
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 4: continue to come down because they can't help but drop

561
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: interest rates at the FED. If the inflation rates stays

562
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 4: low like this, we can see a completely different economy

563
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: come mid year twenty six, and that will only fuel

564
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: support that this administration, wouldn't you think.

565
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 11: A completely different economy. And we haven't even mentioned the

566
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 11: amount of money that the tariff's a loon are bringing

567
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 11: into the country to the point where we can lower

568
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 11: federal taxes even more as a result of it. So look,

569
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 11: you mentioned it. The key here is going to be inflation.

570
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 11: The fact that the President has gotten this down to

571
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 11: two and a half percent at a high of nine

572
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 11: percent under Joe Biden speaks volumes, and there's no reason

573
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 11: why interest rates need to remain as high as they are.

574
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 11: But as you said, the outlook for twenty twenty six

575
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 11: is extremely favorable, and by middle next year we could

576
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 11: see a total economic boom and the welcoming of the

577
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 11: golden age that the President continues to talk about.

578
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

579
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: One of the other big things, of course, the big

580
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 4: conversation when it comes to how much money comes out

581
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: of people's paychecks is insurance health insurance, and so right

582
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 4: now there are plans being put out by the Republicans

583
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 4: for health savings accounts or health associations where millions of

584
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 4: people can get together and negotiate better deals for their

585
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 4: insurance and.

586
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: Get more return for what they put into it.

587
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: You know, half of the people that take Obamacare now

588
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: didn't even have a claim last year, and yet the

589
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: insurance companies got paid anyway. I wish I had a

590
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 4: business like that. Look, we can do the work, not

591
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: do the work. I'm gonna get paid anyway. Pretty good

592
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 4: business plan. The problem with that plan is this, any

593
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 4: plan that involves the taxpayers picking up the bill is

594
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 4: no plan at all, more like a pipe trade.

595
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say that's all it is.

596
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 11: I mean, look, I wish the American people, especially the

597
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 11: moderates or the independents, would really sit down and take

598
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 11: a look at who's actually trying to fix this problem.

599
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 11: The biggest thing that Democrats want to talk about right

600
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 11: now is how we fix healthcare because healthcare is too expensive.

601
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 11: At the same time, they're talking out the other side

602
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 11: of their mouth about how we got to keep Obamacare

603
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 11: and it's the greatest thing in the world. Obamacare is expensive.

604
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 11: That's why we have the problems that we have now.

605
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 11: So I think it's great that the Republicans throw down

606
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 11: multiple ideas. I know there's a ton of different ones

607
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 11: floating out there. Eventually that will lull, you know, hopefully

608
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 11: they get onto the same page and can get a

609
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 11: really good healthcare plan for the American people. But at

610
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 11: the end of the day, the reason why you can't

611
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 11: afford healthcare and subsidies on the table here and prices

612
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 11: are going through the roof, it's because Obamacare is a

613
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 11: terrible model and we need a new one.

614
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

615
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 4: And the same reason that more than ninety percent of

616
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: the money that comes from insurance companies to support campaigns

617
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 4: goes to Democrats, go figure the people that are cheerleaders

618
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 4: for that money to continue to flow. When you take

619
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: twenty percent off the top and give it to insurance companies,

620
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: of course they're going to love that. Of course they're

621
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 4: going to support Democrats. But it's not about what's best

622
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 4: for America. We need free market forces and insurance so

623
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: that companies are forced to compete against each other and

624
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 4: across state lines. I mean, anybody should be able to

625
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: do that, find the best deal for themselves or join

626
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 4: one of these associations that can change. According to Mike Johnson,

627
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 4: the speaker. Right off the top, Americans would save eleven percent.

628
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 4: We haven't saved any money on premiums in fifteen years, right.

629
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, look, this is the dichotomy right now

630
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 11: that you're looking at between the two parties. Right, you're

631
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 11: looking at free market capitalists in the Republican Party and

632
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 11: the basis of the American economic principles, and you're looking

633
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 11: at Democrats you just want full blown socialism and want

634
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 11: the so called rich to pay for all of it.

635
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 11: They don't realize that there simply isn't.

636
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: Enough money in the world to pay for.

637
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 11: The programs that they're promoting here. So, you know, I

638
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 11: think we're seeing it for the first time since Obamacare

639
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 11: has passed, that this really is kind of the end

640
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 11: of the runway. Is not working, and we do need

641
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 11: something different here. And I hope the House and Senate

642
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 11: are able to get something together and deliver on that

643
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 11: in twenty twenty six, because that, coupled with the economy,

644
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 11: are going to be total winting messages for the Republicans

645
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 11: and hopefully the president's term won't end two years early

646
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 11: with the Democrat House and Senate.

647
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 4: Well, I agree with you. I'm not worried about the

648
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: Senate so much. The House is a concern. I think

649
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: the Senate's in pretty good shape overall. We could pick

650
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: up a couple of seats good Republicans in the Senate

651
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 4: with a good race in New Hampshire or Ohio or

652
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 4: excuse me, not Ohio, but Georgia. Mike really appreciates you

653
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 4: being here. Thank you so much.

654
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.

655
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas.

656
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 4: All right, now, let me be blunt. Gold is up

657
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 4: tremendously this year. That's not speculation. That is the reality.

658
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: And if a portion of your savings isn't diverse fighting

659
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: the gold, you've really been missing out.

660
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: It's gone up dramatically. Here are the facts.

661
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: Inflation is still too high, the US dollar is still

662
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: too weak, and the government debt is insurmountable. That's why

663
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving

664
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 4: prices up to record highs. But it's not too late

665
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,960

679
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 4: Coming up after the break, I'll discuss the latest updates

680
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: from the ongoing conflict between the United States and Venezuela

681
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 4: as the Coastguard sets its sights on even more oil tankers.

682
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 4: Details After a quick break, the US and Venezuela remained

683
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 4: at odds with each other as the Trump administration is

684
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 4: cracking down in Venezuela and even harder this time in

685
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 4: the form of their trade of oil illicit illegal oil

686
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 4: on ghost ships. The latest updates in this ongoing dispute

687
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 4: saw the seizure of two oil tankers for operating trade

688
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 4: on the black market and providing oil for other countries.

689
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: Under sanctions. According to the director of the White.

690
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 4: House's Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, this development leading straight to

691
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: the blockade and an all sanctioned oil tankers bound for

692
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 4: or departing from Venezuela. The interlying point for this dispute

693
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 4: between trumpet Maduro has to do with Maduro's presency not

694
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 4: being legitimate that according to the Biden demonstration originally and

695
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 4: the position being used to run a narco terra state,

696
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 4: a point that President Trump was indicated to.

697
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: Be at the case for many years.

698
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: Now, join me to discuss former CIA senior operations Officer

699
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 4: Rick de Latore.

700
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: Rick. Nice to have you here, great to be Look,

701
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: this is nothing new.

702
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 4: Honestly, when ships are running illicit cargoes, they call them

703
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 4: ghost ships because a ship will leave port in Venezuela

704
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 4: with a couple of million barrels of oil on board,

705
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 4: cutrate oil headed for places like Iran, Russia, China, and

706
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 4: then what they do is they will take down a

707
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 4: flag from say Panama and put something up from say

708
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 4: Costa Rica or whatever. They keep reflagging the ships along

709
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 4: the way. They'll download a couple of hundred thousand barrels

710
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 4: Under this ship and one hundred thousand onto that ship.

711
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 4: It's all a black market ruers. That's why they're called

712
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: the ghost fleet. The United States is in its legal

713
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: right to do this, are they not?

714
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: Oh?

715
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 14: Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, No, We've done this for years. We've

716
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 14: done this against other sanctioned countries. We've boarded ships that

717
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 14: we know are transporting illicit goods to sanctioned countries, and

718
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 14: we've always upheld that we can do that in the

719
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 14: high seas. This is something that the US Navy and

720
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 14: the United States Coast Guard does. So I'm not really

721
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 14: sure where the critics are coming from and taking the

722
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 14: side and position of the Majuro regime by calling it

723
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 14: piracy or illegal somehow, that's just not the case.

724
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: You know.

725
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 4: I believe the first ship had one point eight million

726
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 4: barrels of crude, give or take, maybe as much as

727
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 4: one hundred million dollars on board. The second ship I

728
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 4: haven't seen, but at some point you start taking two ships,

729
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 4: three ships, four ships, it starts to have real economic

730
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 4: impact on the dictator in Caracas, doesn't it.

731
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 14: Oh immediately, this is hitting his payroll, There's no doubt

732
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 14: about that. And you just need to look at how

733
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 14: they've been screaming and hollering at the United Nations to

734
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 14: try to take some action. But the reality is that

735
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 14: this is something that was always in our arsenal, but

736
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 14: we've never acted on it. So it's no longer symbolic.

737
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: This is real.

738
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 14: And there's only so much right that the narco traffickers,

739
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 14: those that profit from the critical mind, the critical minerals

740
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 14: and gold that are that are stolen and and and

741
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 14: given to the irradiance or the service debt around the world. Uh.

742
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 14: You know, it's only so much of that that they

743
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 14: can tolerate. When when when they'll start having to call

744
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 14: in some of those markers.

745
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: On Venezuela.

746
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 14: You know, the country's run and has been run for

747
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 14: years with Maduro at the helm as as basically a mob,

748
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 14: you know, a mafia where where you have to kick

749
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 14: up to the to the leader and you know, he

750
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 14: provides you the protection and he provides you the capabilities

751
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 14: and this Haye Haven to do all the illegal stuff

752
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 14: that you need to get done. Uh And and sadly,

753
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 14: you know, we here in the United States are the

754
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 14: ones who who have to deal with the fentanyl overdroses,

755
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 14: the immigration issues, all.

756
00:38:59,480 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: Of that.

757
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 4: The one two punches seems to be this nail those

758
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 4: drug running boats. And I can assure you folks, those

759
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 4: are not fishing boats. Those aren't charter boats. Yeah, been

760
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 4: on plenty in my life. They never looked like that.

761
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 4: So you're knocking out the drug running boats, which is

762
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 4: impacting financial resources in Venezuela. You knock out these oil tankers,

763
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 4: knocking out a lot more money in Venezuela. Look, they're

764
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 4: a country that one being from one of the wealthiest

765
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 4: countries in the world thirty years ago to being one

766
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 4: of the poorest countries because of just lost policies on

767
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 4: socialism that had no success.

768
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: They were completely destructive.

769
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 4: So when you take this much money out of a

770
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 4: country that's already you know, really in bad shape economically

771
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 4: and financially, what does this mean.

772
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 14: Well, it means that that news is starting the titan

773
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 14: or on his neck and he's going to have to

774
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 14: make some some really, really hard decisions because it's just unsustainable.

775
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: And that just here in Venezuela.

776
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 14: Either, if you look at what's happening in Cuba, if

777
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 14: you look at what's happening throughout the region too, you know,

778
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 14: they underwrote lot of the leftist Marxist communist movements throughout

779
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 14: that whole region. They provided a toe hold, well not

780
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 14: a to hold, a complete foothold actually to to the

781
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 14: Russians and to the Chinese and the Iranians. So that's

782
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 14: all disappearing now. And I think, I think what's happening

783
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 14: within his inner circle is they're debating, really what what

784
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 14: best to do with him? And this and this part

785
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 14: is a challenge, right if he if he takes the

786
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 14: deal and decides to leave the country, uh and you know,

787
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 14: move to Russia or Qatar or something like that. Sadly,

788
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 14: what's gonna happen is those that are left behind, right,

789
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 14: those in his inner circle, they're the ones that gonna

790
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 14: have to pay the bill on this. So there's no

791
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 14: incentive for them to allow Maduro to just walk off

792
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 14: scott free with a get out of jail free card.

793
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 14: And and they're left behind, you know, having to face

794
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 14: either you know, the Department of War or the Department

795
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 14: of Justice. So I'm not sure how that's going to

796
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 14: play out effectively, you know, in the next few weeks.

797
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe if he moves to Katar, he can become

798
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 4: buddies with Tucker Carlson, just throwing it out there for

799
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 4: your consideration.

800
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, there you go. I greatly appreciate you being here. Rick.

801
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: As always, I don't.

802
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 4: Know where this oil ends up, but I know where

803
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: it doesn't end up, and I know where the money

804
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: doesn't end up, and that is in Venezuela.

805
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here, Thanks for having me. Now

806
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: after the.

807
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: Break, we'll have a story that reminds us of just

808
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 4: how wonderful America is. Plus, your America's Voice answers to

809
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: the question of the day. Do you think die Hard

810
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 4: is a Christmas movie? I hope they elaborate. We'll be back.

814
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 4: well worthwhile and I enjoy doing it and I know

00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: To day.

817
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 4: Story comes to us from Vernon, Texas, where a gift

818
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 4: received that a toy drive prompts one to payout forward

819
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 4: a lot of it.

820
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Jeff Stewart, the.

821
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 4: Organizer of the United Samaritan Services of Vernon's toy drive,

822
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 4: recounts the overwhelming joy he felt back in the eighties

823
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 4: when he received a gift at a toy drive and

824
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 4: that single instance left the permanent mark on him and

825
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 4: promised Stewart to pay it forward, thus establishing the annual

826
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 4: Toy Drive. Decades later, and the Toy Drive, hosted by

827
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 4: the United Samaritan Services remains strong and gives families and

828
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 4: kids a need the assurance that Santa will deliver at present.

829
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 4: As for Jeff Stewart, he notes that this annual pursuit

830
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 4: of special as he hopes to use the Toy Drive

831
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 4: as a means to create memories for the future that

832
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 4: will hopefully leave an impact just like it did on him.

833
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 4: Paying it Forward is the moral today story and the

834
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 4: effort of bringing holiday joy by Jeff Stewart and the

835
00:42:55,239 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 4: United Samaritan Services reminds us what makes America wonderful. All right, look,

836
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 4: do you think die Hard is a Christmas movie?

837
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: Here's my answer.

838
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 4: All right, it's not Christmas until Hans Gruber. That's right,

839
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 4: that's your villain. Hans Gruber screams. That's the way it is,

840
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 4: Michael Fuchs. It revolves around a corporate Christmas party. So

841
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 4: in theory, yes, Scott King, Yippika Kruber that's right, Hans

842
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 4: Gruber villain my uncle by the way. Alan Anderson, Yes,

843
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 4: like violent night. Oh come on now, lighting up? Michael

844
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 4: Vane very christmasy, I think so, John Hogan. I think

845
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 4: Diehard was set to be a good set of movies,

846
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 4: pushed by media to be a Christmas movie.

847
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: But it's not. No, I don't go out of my

848
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 1: way to watch.

849
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 4: It in the Christmas season if that's what they show,

850
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 4: fair enough. It's not fifty six the original is said

851
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 4: during the company's Christmas party. Of course, right, Mike McLachlin.

852
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 4: It is absolutely a Christmas movie. How the Hans almost

853
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: stool Christmas? Those Gruber's You gotta watch them all the time.

854
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 4: Brian Sharkey, Nope, it just doesn't have a Christmas vibe

855
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: like other movies.

856
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's not a Wonderful Life.

857
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 4: No, it's just something that you see during the Christmas season,

858
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 4: which to me makes it a Christmas movie. And then

859
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 4: that stags Strickland. No, it just happens to take place

860
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 4: at Christmas time, doesn't make it about Christmas. And Dudley

863
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: Goes off the building anyhow. I don't know it's Christmas
