WEBVTT - New Gingrich On The World Stage 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.160 A right news round up and information overload hour. Here's 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:04.200 our toll free telephone number if you want to be 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:06.000 a part of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:08.000 four to one Sean if you want to join us. 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:14.520 We are living through historic times. I guess the closest 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.400 to watching the Berlin Wall come down to me with 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.159 now new leadership. I mean watching after the capture of 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:28.280 Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela and Venezuela and watching you know, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.600 the the remaining I guess supporters of him capitulate to 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.320 every demand of Donald Trump fifty million barrels of oil 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.479 that are going to be sold at market prices for 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:45.800 the benefit of Venezuelan people, on top of also agreeing 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.120 to only trade with the United States, on top of 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.880 political prisoners being released. One of the next consequences of 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.520 that is what we discussed earlier in the program today, 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.320 and that is the Cubans were able to get cheap 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.440 and even free oil in exchange for providing security for Maduro. 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.039 That is over Cuban. 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.160 Now teetering on the brink now of a total complete collapse, 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:15.840 and inside of Iran where we're watching the likelihood of 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.959 regime change, you know, growing hour by hour as protesters 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.560 have been taken into the streets, and Donald Trump pledging 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.640 to the Iranium people that if they continue to be 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.720 murdered and slaughtered as has been going on, that the 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.320 President will in fact involve himself nuke Gingrich. 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:34.760 Who's going to join us in a minute? 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.120 Put out an ex post says, it's not enough to 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.800 sympathize with the Uranium people in their struggle to get 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.920 free from the dictatorship, which is clearly killing dissidence and 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.600 fighting for its very survival. It's not enough to have 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.520 government leaders publicly talking about support for the Uranium people 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.040 but failing to do anything real. It's also not enough 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.800 to send token support but failed to take steps necessary 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.800 to replace the dictatorship. In a few weeks, either the 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.240 dictatorship is gone or the Iranian people will will have 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.560 been defeated and suppressed in a campaign to find the 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.240 ring leaders and kill them will have begun. There is 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.800 no middle ground. The goal of every Western leader should 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:21.080 be to destroy the Iranian dictatorship. He goes on, and 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.680 he goes at this moment of vulnerability, and he further 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.720 goes on to say that nothing will do more to 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.840 move the Middle East towards peace, safety, prosperity than the 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.920 destruction of the Ietolas dictatorship. And the time to act 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.800 is now. Anyway, Former Speaker of the House, New Gingrich 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.200 is with us. These are really historic times we're living 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.280 in and you can't deny that Donald Trump has played 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.280 a major role in all of it. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.160 Just say to yourself that Joe Biden has been re 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.920 elected or the Kamala Harris have been elected. We've been 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.200 in a totally different world. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.400 I mean, for all all. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:05.120 Of his complications and difficulties and things you and I 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.919 could probably agree on in the end, when it really matters, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.639 President Trump is a truly historic figure, and he has 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.480 the courage, and he understands that he has the power 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.040 of the most powerful nation in the world, and so 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.120 unlike his recent predecessors, which I would say would also 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:31.040 include Obama, he is prepared to use the power of 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.240 the United States to force change on the scale that 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:41.920 nobody I included me, nobody could have predicted. It's amazing 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.840 to watch it happen. He is so smart, as you 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.240 know because you've done him for thirty years. He keeps 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:55.240 absorbing information, he keeps learning from what's going on, and 0:03:55.240 --> 0:04:00.680 in a sense, he keeps mutating. He's more aware, control 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.160 has a better sense of how the world works every 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.240 single day. And it's as a historian, it's it's amazing 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:08.840 to look through. 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:10.680 It really really is. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.000 And you know, it's interesting because there are people even 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.440 within our movement, although I would argue that most of 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.080 the people that I can think of have been kind 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.919 of fair weather supporters and friends of Donald Trump that 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.880 are the most critical of him, but they have misinterpreted 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:31.080 the Trump doctrine. Donald Trump clearly has a very clear 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:36.479 understanding of the threat of radical Islam and radical islam is. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.640 That's why he defeated the Caliphate, took out Solamani and 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:44.159 Bagadian associates, dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan, 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.200 and took out Iranian nuclear sites. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.719 That was not done in a vacuum. It was done 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.080 with the understanding. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:57.719 That that convert or die and radical Islamist represent a 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.880 clear and present danger to the United States, not just 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.720 to Israel, not just to the region. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:04.640 And not only did. 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.880 Israel benefit, but the world benefited, and every other country 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.240 in the region was breathing a sigh of relief when 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.800 he took out their nuclear sites. And I don't think 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.919 some people understand it. They interpret the Trump doctorate of 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.520 No Forever Wars to mean isolationism, and that's not what 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.360 it means. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.400 I mean, in a real sense, he reminds me of 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.200 Theodore Roosevelt, and the Roosevelt who had said, you know, 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.039 carry a big stick and speak softly. Roosevelt understood you 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:37.360 could use power very directly and very briefly and not 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.480 get balled down. We got into the cycle with our 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.919 elites where we just frankly, I would say starting with 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:50.120 them was Vietnam. We fought sort of the academics wars, 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.000 things that should have worked, things that should have been understandable, 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.680 and they were disasters. You go to Vietnam, you go 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.880 to Haiti, you go to Iraq, you're go to Afghanistan, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:07.640 and you realize that the intellectualization of warfare is one 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.400 of the great failures of modern times. And when Trump 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.520 is done, and what Hagsepp has done is they have 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:20.960 stripped it away. So instead of trying to, you know, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.880 deal a little here, a little there, you go in decisively, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.520 you hit them, you force change, and you back out 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.280 uh and you let other people then pick up the pieces, 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.480 and I think so far it is, you know, there's 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.880 a lot to go get. I'm actually writing a piece 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.520 that the press conference and the final results aren't the 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.280 same thing. I mean, they have begun in Venezuela, they 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:53.799 have begun in Gaza, they have begun Iran in some ways. 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.640 They've begun in Ukraine, but none of them are done yet. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.560 But they've begun in Cuba too. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.880 How do how does Cuba possibly survive without Venezuela and energy. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.600 I don't see any chance that they can. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.920 No. And I think in Marco Rubio, and actually he 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.680 and Post and I happen to be together, had the 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.240 vote count in West Palm on election night and we 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.920 were standing waiting for the president, and we were chatting 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:21.160 about this because I knew from Marco's own background, with 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.120 his parents both from Cuba, being a South Florida politician, 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:30.000 he had a deep personal interest in liberating Cuba, and 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:34.880 he understood fully how badly the dictatorship was failing and 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.760 how badly the economy was failing. And I thought it 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:43.200 was fascinating. So you're now, look, you could imagine, with 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.840 a little bit of luck, as you're going to roll 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:50.920 up Cuba, Nicaragua and Colombia and then be in a 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.840 position to confront Mexico, which is the biggest, hardest and 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.880 most difficult. But I wouldn't be shocked over the next 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.800 year to see that, and to have Manco Rubio as 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.520 Secretary of State, given his unique knowledge of the region, 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:13.160 I think gives you a tremendous leverage to actually get 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:13.679 this done. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.800 There are many people that have been putting out all 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:20.000 these memes on Marco Rubio, well, I think has really 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.720 really come into his own as Secretary of State. I 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.280 think he's done a phenomenal job. Let me ask you, 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.080 let's stay focused for a second, if we can, on 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.960 Iran and what its future is. Last week I had 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:40.000 Reza Palavi, the Crown Prince of Iran, on my TV show. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.400 He's going to be back on tonight. When he was 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.480 on last week, it went so viral in the region 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.360 that I mean, he was getting millions and millions and 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.800 millions of views. And he's not looking to take the 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.360 position necessarily himself. All he wants is a democracy for 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.800 the people of Iran. He said he is as soon 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.680 as possible he wants to return. I know that tomorrow 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.760 at the White House. The opposition leader who won ninety 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.920 two plus percent of the vote, Maria Karina Machado, is 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.720 going to be meeting with the President. Wants to give 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.080 her the Nobel Peace Prize that she received. I wants 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.400 to give it to President Trump. But Razid Paalab talking 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.600 to me about the future of a ram being a 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.520 secular democracy Sean. 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.640 At the call of my compatriots, I stepped forward to 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.040 lead this transition from this tyranny to a future democracy. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.600 My role is to help my competriot achieve that goal, 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.160 to bring about a peaceful and by means of a 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:44.760 national referendum and a constitutional assembly. I'm impartial as to 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.000 what the ultimate result will be, so long as it's 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.959 a secular democracy. I've trained all my life to serve 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.920 my nation. I'm there to serve and help them achieve 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.640 that goal, and I'm more than ever ready to step 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.400 in Iran as soon as the situation warrants to south. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.840 But you are pointing out something very profound in your 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.600 post on x and that is that there's a window 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.440 of opportunity here. Otherwise too many people will die and 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.240 then too many people will return to their homes. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.200 That's right. I mean you get to a point where 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:22.840 either the regime starts to disintegrate or it rebalances itself. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.000 And if it rebalances itself, it will crush the opposition. 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.280 And it will then methodically, and it's done this on 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.960 at least two other occasions, I will methodically hunt down 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.080 and kill all the people who are leaving the demonstrations. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.720 So that this is a very delicate moment where you 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:47.839 could have a huge impact by insisting on replacing the dictatorship, which, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.320 after all, as late as Sunday had people chanting death 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.880 to America. So we have some notion that this is 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.800 a regime which is mortally closed to the survival of 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.960 the Israel or United States. My point would be, we 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:08.600 have enough tools, starting with various cyber weapons and with 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.479 prom this straight out propaganda and all way if necessary, 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.520 going to military capabilities. We have enough tools to guarantee 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.760 that the dictatorship does not survive. But there's a time 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.040 limit to that, and so we need to act. We 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.679 need to replace words and say it's nice to have 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.360 a senior political leaders say, oh, we're really with the 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.520 Iranian people. The question then ought to be really, what 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.160 is really what the Iranian people mean, what are you 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.800 actually doing? Don't just tell me you're posturing. And I 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.280 said this now several times today on x and gotten 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.480 very strong response from people who understand that this is 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.600 a historic turning point. And my hope is the President 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:59.839 Trump will instruct this national security team starting with the 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.280 number of non violent things we can do, including cyber 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:08.160 attacks and propaganda, and a number of things designed to 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.760 break up the regime. You don't have to go straight 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:15.640 to military, but you should begin mobilizing through military capabilities, 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.160 not just for us, but also for our European allies 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.800 and for some of our Arab allies in the region. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.040 Of the number of people who would like to replace 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:29.480 the dictatorship is extraordinary, and we should orchestrate that, bring 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.840 it to bear, and two or three leafs from now, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.880 the iatola should be gone, and all the senior leadership 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.559 should be gone, and Uranian people should be allowed them 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.160 on their own, in a free and fair way, to 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.040 choose the kind of leadership they want. 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.360 A very big difference from the last time we saw 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.320 people taking to the streets in Iran and Barack Obama, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.760 who had dropped cargo planes full of cash and other 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.160 currencies to try to placate these radical malas offered no 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.120 support at all whatsoever. But you know now the Iranian 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.360 Revolutionary Guard has been unleashed on the people within Iran, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.120 and that's why the death toll is going up much higher. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.520 So as we sit, among other things, be prepared to 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.800 start taking out the headquarters and the training facilities of 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.640 the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. And we should make very clear 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.240 that anybody who's engaged in violence should expect to be 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.320 held accountable and all only potentially be put in prison. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.400 There are a lot of steps we could take that 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.040 would rapidly undermine the regime and then prease it in 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.600 place and cause it to become timid. And I think 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.920 we also so the truth is we probably know where 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:48.800 the Ayatola is and we should probably consider seriously taking 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.440 out what her facility he's in. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.120 Well, I'll tell you these are fascinating times they're living in. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.520 The Only thing I can think of comparable in our 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.040 lifetime is the fall of the Berlin Wallam I wrong? 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.319 The other historian? We have about thirty seconds. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.480 Look, I think when you sweep the world from Venezuela 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.400 to Iran to Ukraine, you have to say this is 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.640 comparable to the end of the Soviet Union. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.360 No okay, former Speaker of the House, New King Rich 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.640 fascinating times. We're living through eight hundred and nine four 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.280 one seawn our number. If you want to be a 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.480 part of the program. All right, let's get to our 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:26.280 busy phones. Let us say hello to Jim in Arizona. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.320 Jim High, how are you glad you called Sir Hi. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.720 Sewn and Lit. I just wanted to weigh in on 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.920 the Minnesota incident and actually all incidents were officers have 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.040 to pull their weapons out. Based on my own personal experience, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:39.000 and how. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.160 Come are you a former law enforcement or our current 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:41.880 law enforcement? 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.880 No, no, I owe my life to these guys because 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.240 what I what ended up happening is I got arrested 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.800 forty seven years ago when I was eighteen, and an 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.000 agent got in my car and pulled his badge in 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.120 front of me, and he put a gun and pointed 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.360 at me and said don't move or I'll shoot you, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.520 and I complied I'm alive. I had several law enforcement 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.000 officers tell me it's time to grow up, stop this 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.680 illegal behavior and get your life on track. And I 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.800 truly owe my entire life now to the cops, and 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:10.960 they really do care about you. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:11.880 Listen. 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.320 I don't know how in the minds of the left 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.640 in this country that the police have become the enemy. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:17.840 Now. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.560 There's always a few bad apples I've had. I used 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.600 to do many, many years ago. I mean fifteen years ago, 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.520 I had a heavy foot. I don't anymore because I 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.000 never want to have an accident and hurt an innocent 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.160 person just because I needed to get somewhere a little faster. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.720 Forget it. You don't get there faster anyway. It doesn't 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.160 really work. But you know, in the times that I 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.040 got pulled over, you know, cops, I'm always very respectful. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.360 I haven't been pulled over in years because I don't speak. 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.240 It's just not worth it to me. But when I did, 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.560 you always yes, sir, No, sir. If I had a firearm, 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.160 because I've always had a license to carry with me, 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.720 I put my hands outside the wind window in the 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.200 first thing I would do is inform the officer that 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.080 I had a weapon with me, which is complying by law, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.320 you know, with my hands outside the window, and you know, 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:14.440 full compliance, total respect, and most occasions, if you're respectful, 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.400 they will get returned, that respect back to you. And 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.640 the idea that these people were clearly with the longer 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.720 version of the tape haunting, aggravating, stalking, even these these 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:31.760 ICE agents, it's unconscionable, you know. But when you heard 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.880 tape the partner of this woman that got killed and 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.600 it's a tragedy, but you know, drive, drive and she 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.800 throws it in reverse and it accelerates right towards the officer. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.760 What is that person supposed to do? 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.760 I mean by according to the book, according to that 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.240 he had every right to defend himself. It's a tragedy, 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.920 but a tragedy I would argue of their own making. 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.920 And it didn't need to happen. And one of the 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.680 saddest parts in all of this is the demonization of 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.880 ICE agents constantly. If Tim Walls calling them a gestapo, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.439 you know, this idiot mayor French fry, you know, to 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.760 get the fo to Minneapolis. Yet they are the ones 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.640 that have been aiding in a bedding in the law 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:18.080 breaking is institutionalized corruption within the Somali community and ICE 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:22.199 agents they're not going to stop doing their job because 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.159 of this. And DHS Secretary Nome and Tom Homan and 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.440 others that they've sent more agents into Minnesota and there's 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.560 not a damn thing that people of Minnesota can do 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.160 about it. These elected officials, and they have a job 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.560 to do. You know, there's too many known terrorists, murderers, rapists, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.760 gang members, cartel members, drug dealers that we have allowed 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:47.280 into this country. Our country has been ripped off, institutionalized, 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.600 you know, theft, you know, by by abusing the welfare 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.760 system in this country. They you know, in the case 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.879 of Tim Walls, as people testify to last week, he 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.359 knew about it, did nothing about it. I think that, 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.199 you know, a lot is being exposed here. You know, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.920 I read this today. I have an article about this 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:06.600 that democrats. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:07.840 I got the article here. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.360 Let me pull an out of my stack and rushers 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.040 to always talk about a stack of stuff. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.439 And it was on fake news CNN. 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.960 They reported this that liberal Democrats want to make defunding 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.840 ICE part of the next government shutdown this month. Okay, 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.760 good luck with that, because most people support law and order, 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.560 and I don't think it's going to work out. I 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.359 think that's going to backfire. I'll I get backfired the 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.240 last time, and we're not going to defund ice. President 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.320 Trump will never do it and nor should he. Republicans 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.240 will never allow it to happen, nor should they. But 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.880 you bring up you know, I urge people be respectful 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.600 if you if you have an encounter with police, whatever 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.800 that encounter happens to be. You know, understand, they don't 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.920 know what they're dealing with, They do not know who 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.400 you are. They they have to assume the worst. They 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.760 have their guard up rightly so because that's how they're trained. 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.160 And you have to diffuse the situation. Let them know 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.359 that you're being respectful, just common sense to be honest 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.760 and not very complicated anyway, Appreciate the call eight hundred 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.479 and ninety four one, Sean if you want to be 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.920 a part of the program. Rick in Texas, God bless Texas. Rick, 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:17.320 how are you? 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.640 I'm good, Sean, Thank you very much. It's a little 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:21.760 bit off subject, but it's been on my mind a 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.199 long time. Follow up. Mister Comer and mister Jordan have 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.879 done a fantastic job. Great work and doge and but 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.960 then we never hear for we don't really always hear 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.800 back the result like who who authorized those crazy payments 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.919 that were made? Who did authorize it. Who was running 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.480 the country. Did they figure that out with all the 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.200 interviews that they did. And Adam shiff who I can't 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.399 stand Russia, Russia, Russia, what happened to I don't hear 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:53.480 himy more about him anyway. It's just curious on those things. 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.880 And one other thing, I think you have President Trump's ear, 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.080 you could suggest to him that he may be he 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:04.080 gets on talks to the country and explainants to them 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.800 why they started and what happened with all the you know, 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.600 just remind them of it's not just about picking up people. 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.880 It's about what happened when ten million people came across 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.200 and we're getting the bad guys. I don't think he's 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.320 ever come out and explain that to people on TV 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:19.879 or anything. 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:20.240 Well. 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.320 I mean, I thought he gave a good speech at 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.119 the end of the year, going into great specificity in 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.440 detail on all that he's done in his first year. 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.960 There's never been a president that has given more time 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:36.639 to the media, answered more questions than this president. I 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:42.040 think he's made himself readily available and I did an 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.960 interview with him last week. I've asked him every possible question. 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.399 The world's changing before our eyes. I did focus a 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.879 lot on what's going on around the world and the economy. 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.040 I don't know what else he can do in terms 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:58.879 of communicating. He's given an inordinate amount of time. I 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.680 would argue, if we the minutes up, probably more time 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.840 in his first year in office than Joe Biden did 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.560 in his four years in office by a long shot. 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.160 So you know that the answer is who was running 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.679 the country under Biden? It wasn't him, there's your answer, 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:15.439 especially in the final years in office. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:16.400 I mean, as bad. 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.159 As he was going in And I pointed out his 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:22.119 cognitive decline in twenty nineteen, and you know I was 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.000 excoriated for doing so. Turns out I was right. I 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.480 wish I wasn't you work all right? Rick, appreciate it, 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.520 my friend, God bless you. Eight hundred ninety four one Sean. 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.160 If you want to be a part of the program, 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:36.400 let's say hi to THEO in Western New York, THEO. 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:37.840 How are you glad you called? Sir? 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:40.840 Thank you, mister Hannity. It's a pleasure to speak to you. 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:42.560 Pleasure is all mine. What's going on? 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.400 I was just calling because with I wanted to talk 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.440 just a little bit about what's going on in Minnesota 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.439 and with the violence, and I just wanted to say 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.080 I think the most important part from and I'm not 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.960 the smartest guy in the world. I don't really lean 0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.400 that far left. I don't lean right, but I think 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:01.480 a bit more than anything, I think we just need 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.879 to be taking a moment, to take a pause in 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.080 the moment and look at situations and let the dust 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.520 settle before we kind of all run out and say, 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.919 you know, this ice guy is the worst guy in 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.680 the world, or this protesters the worst person in the world, 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.400 because I feel like we fill everything up with this 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:20.800 you know what we want to hear, and then it 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:22.399 makes it so hard for us to come back to 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:24.720 the middle. And I guess that's sort of well. 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:28.120 The rush to judgment is a phenomenon that we've spoken 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:31.200
