1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray looks like he's on the way out. We're 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: gonna have a little chat about that. We have Chinas 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: Siria talk, we have domestic talk. What's going on with 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Pete Exseth, Joni Earns, Sean Spicer's here, all that more 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: coming up, and I'm right all right. Before we get 6 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: to the Christopher Ray stuff, which I'm gonna get to 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: here in just a moment, let's talk about something that 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: is really, really, really wonderful. I was thinking about this 9 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: last night. I was talking about it with my wife. 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: And we had the Daniel Penny acquittal yesterday, We've had 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: the Donald Trump election. There have been little story after 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: little story after little story out there. There's something good happening, 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: not just here in America, not just with the White 14 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: House or things like that. There's something good in the air. 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: Don't you feel it? I feel it? And I was 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: sitting around again, I was having a discussion with her 17 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: and I was just kind of working it through my mind. 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: What is happening? What am I seeing? And here's what 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: it is. And this will tie us directly into Christopher 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: Ray and getting ready to resign. Things like that. We're 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: watching a contraction by the system, by the communists, by 22 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: the evil people out there. A contraction. Here's the best 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: way I can describe what that means, A contraction. Have 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: you ever been you know what boxing is. Obviously, probably 25 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: you've seen boxing at some point in time in your life. 26 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: And if you watch enough boxing, you'll see something from 27 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: time to time. A fighter who's used to punching a lot. 28 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: He punches a lot, punches eygh, punches low, left, right 29 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: punches a lot. But he goes up against a counter 30 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: puncher and keeps getting burnt every time he punches. Every 31 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: time he punches, he throws that left, catches one in 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: the ribs, throws that right, gets smacked up side of 33 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: the head. And what happens is, after enough pain, after 34 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: he gets counterpunched enough times, he just stops punching for 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: a while because it hurts too bad. Now he's gonna 36 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: start punching again, and we'll get to that with the 37 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: system here in a little bit. But he's going to 38 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: start punching again, but for a while it hurts so 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: much that he really can't do much but dance around 40 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: the ring and block whatever he can block. We had 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: a long period there. I would say maybe the start 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: of the Obama era, But we had years and years 43 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: and years there where the communists in this country were 44 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: on the offense and they had all of the cultural momentum, 45 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: and you saw it everywhere. You saw more radical change 46 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: in this country in the last ten fifteen years than 47 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: people had seen since the sixties in this country, just 48 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: radical change after radical change, and none of them good. 49 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: Everything kind of seemed to be going against it. Why 50 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: did it always seem that way? We're losing corporate America. 51 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: We can't even can't even watch a decent TV show anymore. 52 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: The movies are all, okay, what do we do well? 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 1: What happened was the communists, feeling pretty good in the ring, 54 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: started punching and landing a lot, and momentum as it 55 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: built caused them to keep punching and keep punching. And 56 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: then COVID came and then they were really masters of everything. 57 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: They just got to embrace total tyranny. You do this, 58 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: you do that, you do this, you do that. And 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: then Saint George Floyd dies and then they really ramp 60 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: it up even more. The animals were in the streets, 61 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to foot locker. But then something happened and 62 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it was just one thing. You don't 63 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: ever want to boil it down to just one thing. 64 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: Something turned, something changed, and the people of this country, 65 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: and really this is global, the people a lot of 66 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the Western nations started to against it, 67 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: started to say, Ah, that's too far. I don't like that. 68 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're going too far there. Hold on, 69 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: I don't like that. And we started punching back. And 70 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: the Trump election was a big indication of it. That 71 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: was a huge, probably the biggest one. But you're starting 72 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: to see it everywhere. It seems like the system got 73 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: counterpunched a few too many times and they're contracted, and 74 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: you should put a smile on your face about it. 75 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray came out last night he's going to be 76 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: resigning his post at the FBI. Now. Doesn't take a 77 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: genius to figure out why Christopher Ray is resigning at 78 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: the FBI because he's about a month away, give or 79 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: take from getting fired by Donald Trump. Doesn't want to 80 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: stain the disgrace of being fired. And before we get 81 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: into little Christopher Ray's greatest hits, let's make sure we 82 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: understand that Christopher Ray resigning losing his post is not 83 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: near enough. It is not justice at all. Taking over 84 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: the Federal Bureau of Investigation and turning it into the 85 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: Stazi against your political opponents is a crime. Christopher Ray 86 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: has committed criminal acts, many of them against the citizens 87 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: of this country. A resignation is a good step. One. 88 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: Let's go to the highlight tape on Christopher Ray. 89 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: How many illegal FISA queries have occurred under your leadership 90 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: of the FBI. 91 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 3: Well, there are reports that have come out with different 92 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: numbers about compliance incidents. 93 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 2: More than a million illegal ones, because that's what the 94 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: Inspector General said. The Inspector General said that in the 95 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: three point four million of these queries, more than a 96 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: million were in error. Do you have any basis to 97 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: disagree with that assessment by the Inspector General. 98 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. 99 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: Actually that's a correct characterization of the Inspector General's. 100 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: Oh well, now the Internet that will remind you about 101 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: in moments. 102 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: Our focus is a malign foreign disinformation, that is, foreign 103 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: hostile actors who engage in covert efforts. Mister, risk our 104 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 3: social media platforms, which is something that is not seriously 105 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 3: in dispute. 106 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I have to stop you for time. That's not accurate. 107 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 4: You need to read this court opinion because you're in 108 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 4: charge of enforcing it. Elvis Chant testified under oath in 109 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 4: charge of this for you. He said fifty percent, he 110 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: had a fifty percent success rate and having alleged election 111 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: disinformation taken down or censored, that that wasn't just foreign adversary, sir, 112 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 4: that was American citizens. 113 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: How do you answer for that? 114 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 3: Well, first off, I'm not sure that's a correct characterization's 115 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: right out of the opinion. You should reroute what of 116 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 3: his testimony. But what I would say is the FBI 117 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: is not in the business of moderating content. As you know, 118 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: this is a very active, ongoing investigation and there are 119 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: some restrictions on that. 120 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: But we can handle classified information and we fund your department, 121 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 2: and so you need to provide. 122 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 3: That it's not respectfully, it's not an issue of classification. 123 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: People trusted the FBI more when Jayak or Hoover was 124 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: running the place than when you are. And the reason 125 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: is because you don't give straight answers. You give answers 126 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: that later a court deems aren't true, and then at 127 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: the end of the day, you won't criticize an obvious 128 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: shakedown when it's directly in front of us, and it 129 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: appears as though you're whitewashing the conduct of corrupt people. 130 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: Respectfully, Congressman, in your home state of Florida, the number 131 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: of people applying to come work for us and devote 132 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: their lives working for us is over up over one 133 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: hundred percent. 134 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 2: We're deeply proud of them, and they deserve better than you. 135 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: That was but a taste. Christopher Ray sent the FBI 136 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: after angry school board parents because Merrick Garland told him to. 137 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray set up a bunch of poor schloves for 138 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: assassinating or trying to kidnap and assassinate the governor of Michigan, 139 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer. You remember that whole crooked scheme. Christopher Ray 140 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: rated mar Alago. Christopher Ray arrested pastors, pro lifers. Christopher 141 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: Ray covered for the BIS at every turn. In fact, 142 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: he's the reason that Joe Biden ever won the White 143 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: House to begin with. Christopher Ray resigning is not even 144 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: close to justice. Christopher Ray resigning to go work on 145 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: this corporate board and that corporate board and bring in 146 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: five million dollars a year flying on private jets. The 147 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: rest of his life is not justice when you've taken 148 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: over the top federal law enforcement arm and you have 149 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: used it against your political co opponents and to protect Democrats. 150 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: Resignations aren't enough, and that's not what this country needs. 151 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: It's time for people like Christopher Ray and Elvis Chan 152 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: and others to go to federal prison. Which brings me 153 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: to Chuck Grassley. I am seeing a lot of celebration 154 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: over what Chuck Grassley did yesterday. In case you haven't seen, 155 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: I have the letter here. I'm not going to read 156 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: the whole thing, but you're welcome to it's all available 157 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: for free online. This is, as you can see, a 158 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: fairly long letter from a one Chuck grass League. Huh, 159 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: ranking member of the Committee on Budget out of a 160 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: big deal, right, and he sends a letter. Of course, 161 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: he opens it up talking about how seven years ago 162 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: I supported you, but now he's lost confidence in Christopher Ray. Okay, 163 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: well that's good. I'm I'm glad you sent that letter, Chuck. 164 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: So Christopher Ray was about to be fired, even even 165 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: if he didn't resign, Christopher Ray was about to be fired. 166 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: He took over the STAZI. He used his power in 167 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: the STAZI to attack the American people for seven years, Chuck, 168 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: And for seven years, this letter was nowhere to be found. 169 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, let me check the data again.

I 199 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: love it and I sleep like a baby every single night, 200 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: even those days where days maybe been stressful.

But it's not 205 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: the sleeping. It's the waking when you wake up after 206 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: you had Beam the night before you don't feel like 207 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: you took something to sleep. You feel like you slept 208 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: naturally like a baby all night. Up to forty percent 209 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: off best couple of hot chocolate you ever have in 210 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: your life. Shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly, we'll be back. 211 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: What's all the scuttle butt on Capitol Hill? Which one 212 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: of these dominations is getting through? Which one isn't? How 213 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: screwed up is Siria right now? I don't know anything 214 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: answer to any of these questions, but I bet Sean does. 215 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: Joining me now the host of the Great Sean Spicer's 216 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: Shoe my friend Sean Spicer. Okay, Sean, I love, actually 217 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: love most of Trump's nominees. Some of them are just 218 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: absolutely wretched, like that surge in general. But we don't 219 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: have to get into that. But the really important ones, 220 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: like Pete hegg Seth, they need to get through. We 221 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: have to have these reforms. Who's gonna make it and 222 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: who's not? John? I don't so far. 223 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 5: I don't see anybody not getting through. I say that 224 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 5: because the look justin just to put this in context here, 225 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 5: viewers understand this. When Biden put forward his cabinet, not 226 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 5: a single Democrat voted against a single nominee, not one. 227 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 5: The only thing that's keeping any of these nominees back 228 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 5: are other Republicans. Remember, we have a fifty three seat majority. 229 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 5: We shouldn't even be having this discussion. The president's putting 230 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 5: forward very qualified people to execute his agenda and barring 231 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 5: anything that's you know, revelationary or you know coming, so 232 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 5: like there's no reason he shouldn't get it. And so 233 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 5: they gave all of these morons in the Biden cabinet 234 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 5: their spot who were not qualified. Excuse me, I don't 235 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 5: know why we're even having these conversations among the Republican 236 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 5: conference the people that President Trump award because they are 237 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 5: a bunch of bandies. 238 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean we are because look at look at Pete. 239 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 5: Hegseath, two Bronze Stars, three tours, getmo Afghanistan, Iraq, educated 240 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 5: at Princeton and Harvard. I mean maybe that we should 241 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 5: hold against him. Frankly, the only thing I have against 242 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: is Pete is that he went into the army. I mean, 243 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 5: he's clearly you know, could have joined you and I 244 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 5: as but I just, I mean, honestly, like the notion 245 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 5: that he's not qualified is the is something that someone 246 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 5: in Washington says, I get that he actually might want 247 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 5: to have the Pentagon pass an audit for the first 248 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 5: time in eight years. I get that he might challenge 249 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 5: the status quo. I get that he might focus on 250 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 5: readiness and war fighting and get away from DEI and. 251 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: All that kind of stuff. 252 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 5: But the bottom line is, I mean, this is insane, 253 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 5: the idea that we're questioning the qualifications of these guys, 254 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 5: because the dirty little secret is it's not a qualification. 255 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 5: It's about whether or not they buy into a woke ideology. 256 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 5: As long as that's your standard, the media and the 257 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 5: left will give you a pass. 258 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean I brought this up before Jesse. 259 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 5: Dennis McDonald, the current Secretary of Veterans Affairs, never served 260 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 5: in the military, never worked with a veteran service organization. 261 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 5: He never, as far as I know, gave out mortgages 262 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 5: or healthcare. The two chop services. 263 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: Of the VA. 264 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 5: Pete Boodagic was mayor of South in Indiana that had 265 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 5: a total of sixty six buses, and yet these people 266 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 5: were somehow qualified to run these departments. 267 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Give me a break, okay, Sean, So walk me through 268 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the thinking when you have a Jony Ernst type because 269 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: this is what I've said, and you can speak to 270 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: the accuracy or not that the American people wanted reforms, 271 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: they wanted Trump style reforms. They want the Trump agenda 272 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: very clearly, the country spoke loudly. But a lot of Republicans, 273 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: especially the long established ones in the United States Senate, 274 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: see themselves as protectors of the system, not reformers, and 275 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: so any thought of a reformer, they're actually going to 276 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: join the other team. Am I wrong? 277 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's something to that that they're afraid of the 278 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 5: status quo, like I get the current secretary of this 279 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 5: or that gives me and make sure that my state 280 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 5: gets taken care of for whatever commitments that I've gotten 281 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 5: out of them during their confirmation. But the larger point 282 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 5: is this, the President Trump got elected. 283 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: It's his agenda, not theirs. 284 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 5: And so I'm willing to give some of these other 285 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 5: people that I might not wholeheartedly agree with the past 286 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 5: as long as they're agreeing and understanding that they're buying 287 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 5: into enacting President Trump's agenda, not their own right. So 288 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 5: that's the other thing that these senators have to understand 289 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 5: that it's not so and so's agenda or so and 290 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 5: so's policies that matter. It's whether or not President Trump 291 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 5: has a problem, and that's what they should be asking 292 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 5: questions about. It is what does President Trump want to 293 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 5: do about this? What does President Trump think about this? 294 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 5: Because in the case of Pete Hegseth, he's made it 295 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 5: very clear that his number one job is to execute 296 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 5: the America First policy and keep our country safe. 297 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: That's it, full stop. Sean, walk me through why Trump 298 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: has improved so drastically personnel wise. We don't have to 299 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: rehash the old stuff. You and I've had this conversation many, many, 300 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: many times before. It's like a different person. It's like 301 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: a different organization. It's just winner after winner after winner again, 302 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: a couple I may not like, but it's very clearly 303 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: a professional operation of people who support his agenda. 304 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 5: Who do we have to think for that? We have 305 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 5: him to think for it. I mean, look, I admit 306 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 5: you look back on twenty sixteen. He had never served 307 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 5: in an office before. He didn't have a cadre of folks. 308 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 5: He wasn't a former governor or senator that could call 309 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 5: this team into action. But to answer your question, fundamentally, 310 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 5: it's sort of like when a sports team plays another 311 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 5: team for the second time, and they've seen the other 312 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 5: team's players in the matchups, and they go, Okay, we 313 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 5: know that when so and so goes this way, we 314 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 5: go that way. We know their vulnerabilities, we know their strengths. 315 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 5: And Trump now knows these are the three things. He 316 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 5: knows the people, the policies, and the processes to get 317 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 5: things done. And that's the big difference this time. I've 318 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 5: said this before, Jesse. He's most administrations take you know, 319 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 5: three four months to get up to speed. He's gonna 320 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 5: need about three seconds because they know the right people. 321 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 5: And it's not just the people that are getting brought in, 322 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 5: it's the people that aren't getting brought in. So you're 323 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 5: not bringing in an amurosa and wondering why things aren't 324 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 5: working right. Trump this time knows I need this person 325 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: to do this job, to enact this policy. 326 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: Sean Syria. Actually I could expand this way beyond Syria, 327 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: but Syria, Ukraine, other parts of the world. It's very 328 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: obvious to anyone paying attention that the current administration, the 329 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: Biden administration, if we're still calling it, that they're trying 330 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: to get America as locked into certain places as they 331 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: possibly can before Donald Trump can get in there and 332 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: actually try to fix things. How successful are they going 333 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: to be? He can only do what he can do. 334 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: He's not a god. 335 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 5: Well to your first point, I think we should just 336 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 5: call it the administration because I'm really not sure who's 337 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 5: running things the administration, and I think that they're going 338 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 5: to try to commit the US to certain things, but 339 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to be successful. I really don't. 340 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 5: I think that Trump will undo it. You know, he again, 341 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 5: he gets back to four years wiser. They can't hide 342 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 5: things like they did last time because he now knows 343 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 5: exactly where to look and to how to how to 344 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 5: start on the right foot. So unlike last time where 345 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 5: there were some things that there's a learning curve, this 346 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 5: time he comes in day one ready to go, and 347 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 5: so any kind of shenanigans like that are going to 348 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 5: get undone as quick as they were put in. 349 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: Jem. Thank you, my brother. I appreciate you. All right, 350 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: talk to some serious stuff with Stephen Yates. That'll get spicy. 351 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: What's going on over there Before we get to him. 352 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: Let me talk to you about saving a baby's life. 353 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: It's about the most precious thing you can do right. 354 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: Because a baby can't save itself, caven talk to it 355 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: for itself. Got to have an advocate, it's got to 356 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: have you. Preborn sets up their pro life clinics in 357 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: the highest abortion areas of the country, where young women 358 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: are killing their babies in droves, and Preborn gives these 359 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: women the gift of ultrasound. The ultrasound is the greatest 360 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: weapon in the pro life movement. You get that young 361 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: lady to hear that heartbeat, it's about the years more 362 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: than the eyes. She hears that heartbeat, she will choose 363 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: life almost every time. And that's what your twenty eight 364 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: dollars buys. Twenty eight dollars buys that ultrasound, Go save 365 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: a life. It's tax deductible for Pete's sake. Preborn dot 366 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: com slash Jesse. We'll be back Syria. I know everyone's 367 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: talking about it now, and it's one of those areas 368 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: that people get extremely confused on. So we're going to 369 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: bring experts into this show to make sure we don't 370 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: sound stupid at parties when we're talking to friends and family. 371 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: And there's nobody better at making us not sound stupid 372 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: than Stephen Yates, national security expert with the Heritage Foundation. Stephen, 373 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to sound stupid at a party. Asad 374 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: was a bad guy, but the rebels are bad guys. 375 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: Who am I supposed to be rooting for? Here? What 376 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: talk to us about Syria? 377 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 6: Well, Jesse, you're not wrong about this being actually pretty 378 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 6: complicated and we can get pretty confusing. 379 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: Also not wrong. 380 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 6: It'sid bad guy pretty much the dictionary definition there. Pictures 381 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 6: should be right there. And I think people, if maybe 382 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 6: they scratch their heads a little bit, might remember this 383 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 6: thing that we called the Arab Spring not that long ago, 384 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 6: where there were a lot of confusing situations where bad 385 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 6: leaders might be getting toppled, and there was an aftermath. 386 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 6: One in particular comes to mind, and that was Libya 387 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 6: where Momar Kadafi obviously truly bad guy, and there was 388 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 6: an effort made by the US government among others to 389 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 6: push him out, but there was a kind of chaos 390 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 6: and really hard to read the room about who are 391 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: we dealing with the aftermath? 392 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 7: I think there's a bit of that playing out in Syria. 393 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 6: Now we get it that Asad was bad and probably 394 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 6: better for the world that someone like him moves from 395 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 6: the stage, but there's a lot of work to be 396 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 6: done about where things go from here in Syria. And 397 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 6: the one thing that seems very clear is the president 398 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 6: elect that's going to be inaugurated in January doesn't want 399 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 6: the United States involved in moving coalitions, drafting constitutions and 400 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 6: trying to tell them how to govern. And that's probably 401 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 6: a good starting point in terms of lessons we should 402 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 6: have learned from Arab spring. 403 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: Steved I'm confused why it's so hard for us to 404 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: accept some of these lessons. I understand it's the United 405 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: States of America. We have a leadership role, and I 406 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: understand that people just by their nature want to fix things, 407 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: want to get involved there. But we keep removing these 408 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: guys because they're But we did it with Saddam, you know, 409 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: Saddam was a world class piece of crap. You mentioned 410 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: Kadafi now Asad. Certainly not going to applaud or cheer 411 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: for any of these men. But there are some areas 412 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: that are just going to be governed by bad guys, 413 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: are there not? 414 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 6: Well, Ultimately, the people that live there have to be 415 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 6: the ones that are in charge of who they're governed by. 416 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 6: Sometimes that's not fair. My grandfather told me life isn't fair, 417 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 6: and so far I've discovered he was telling the truth. 418 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 6: But these there are several parts of the world, and 419 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 6: sometimes even the United States we get the government we deserve, 420 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 6: but it's just the case that there are limits to 421 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 6: what we can and should do. That if we wanted 422 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 6: to occupy and run these parts of the world as colonies, 423 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 6: that is a model that was trying in the past. 424 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 6: I don't think it's what the American people want or 425 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 6: people in these regions want. So you have to figure out, 426 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 6: so what are you going to do to help allies 427 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 6: in that region that are closer to the action, that 428 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 6: have more at stake, help them do what they think 429 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 6: is most advisable in having a stable partner and neighbor 430 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 6: that's on their border. And I think the United States 431 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 6: can play a role in convening those conversations. But we 432 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 6: should be supporting cast We should not be the lead 433 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 6: in these kinds of things. I think that's the adjustment 434 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 6: we've been living through since twenty sixteen. 435 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: Why do we ever get involved in a place like 436 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: Syria to begin with? I mean, it's not hard to 437 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: look at a place like Saudi Arabia and figure out 438 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: why we would get involved, you know, Israel, something like that. 439 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: I understand there are all kinds of debates to be had, 440 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: but Syria is an odd place to get involved. Why 441 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: are we involved. 442 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 6: Well, sometimes we get involved because we think we can 443 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 6: make a difference in a particular way. And that could 444 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 6: just be people who are the brilliant memo writers of 445 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 6: the world, who think they've come up with a new 446 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 6: strategy of the universe. And if your organizing theory is 447 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 6: that you want to contain global jihadism, and there's jihadism 448 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 6: breaking out in Syria, maybe there's something we can and 449 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 6: should do to help contain it or defeat it there. 450 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 6: And maybe there's pros and cons to that. But we 451 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 6: live in an era where we have a multitude of 452 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 6: interest pulling us in a lot of different directions. We 453 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 6: have the questions about the role of Russia and China 454 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 6: and Iran generally that could arguably be bigger fish to fry. 455 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 6: I think in some ways the broader Middle East is 456 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 6: safer now because the State of Israel ignored the Biden 457 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 6: foreign policy and went its own way together sometimes with 458 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 6: its neighbors, and took decisive action. That's basically the model 459 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 6: of where we need to go. I think it's our 460 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 6: missionary impulse, which could be admirable in some ways, that 461 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 6: gets us to think we need to be the ones 462 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 6: jumping in and doing these things. But I think that 463 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 6: this is a treacherous devil's playground. 464 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: Particularly speaking of treacherous Steven. How are we supposed to 465 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: handle the Kurdish issue in this area? They sit there 466 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: right next to Turkey. Turkey obviously doesn't want them, hates 467 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: their guts this new regime. They're not going to be 468 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: big fans. The Kurds are sitting on thirty to fifty 469 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: thousand ISIS fighters, depending on who you happen to talk 470 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: to at the time. We can't allow thirty to fifty 471 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: thousand Isis fighters to go back to carrying Ak forty 472 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: sevens and butchering babies. How do we handle this? 473 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 6: It's a really good question. I don't have a perfect 474 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 6: answer to that. This is one of those legacy issues 475 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 6: when you randomly draw lines in sand that don't accurately 476 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 6: capture where civilizations are, but just where military powers decide 477 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 6: to draw them in a moment in history, and the 478 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 6: Kurds are divided across different sovereign boundaries. The ethnic group 479 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 6: of the Kurds does sit on top of some substantial recas, 480 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 6: so they have funding and they have power that comes 481 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 6: with that. But this has been an unstable relationship with 482 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 6: multiple neighbors for a long time. I don't think America's 483 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 6: got the secret sauce to solve that. But my point 484 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 6: of view is when these kinds of activities rise to 485 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 6: a level that it really can cross a profound American 486 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 6: national interest, we should act decisively. That's kind of what 487 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 6: Donald Trump did when he launched cruise missiles into Syria, 488 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 6: killing some Russians at a time. But he didn't invade 489 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 6: and occupy the country, but he would use our weight 490 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 6: when we needed to make a move. I think that's 491 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 6: what we should have done with these leaders. 492 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 7: I know people don't want to talk about taking. 493 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 6: Leaders out, but it would have been a lot cheaper 494 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 6: and more effective if we had a problem with a 495 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 6: sod Or Saying or others, if we supported some move 496 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 6: to eliminate those leaders, and if the bad ones come 497 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 6: in afterwards, well we'll deal with them if we have to. 498 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 6: But it's much better than trying to occupy and run 499 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 6: these countries. So we just have to I think, be 500 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 6: a little bit more cautious, maybe a little more ruthless 501 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 6: in bursts to push the direction. But ultimately it's the 502 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 6: neighborhood that has to solve where this goes. 503 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: Stephen, what's the danger in Syria? Now? I realize there's 504 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: all kinds of danger for the people there, That's not 505 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I'm we're talking about globally for us. 506 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: What is something we need to be watching out for 507 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: where we say, oh uh oh, that might not be 508 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: good for us. 509 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 6: Well, I think if we see the amassing of capabilities 510 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 6: where another terrible strike on Israel were to take place, 511 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 6: or some other movement that would be able to reach 512 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 6: beyond the borders of Syria. There have been things, I 513 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 6: know it's a source subject with Iraq, things still in memory, 514 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 6: but there are problems with chemical biological weapons that have 515 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 6: been moved into that theater. So seeing the sort of 516 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 6: travesty of a decade plus of war and that material 517 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 6: getting moved places used in inappropriate ways would be something 518 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 6: to deeply, deeply watch for. 519 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: They've already had a. 520 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 6: Tremendous flow of refugees go out that we're destabilizing at 521 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 6: a time. I think a big question now is with 522 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 6: a change in leadership, do how many of those refugees 523 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 6: go back, all those that went across the land bridge 524 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 6: into Europe and elsewhere, do they go back to Syria 525 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 6: and try to build a better future. As the optimists 526 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 6: might say, these are the kind of the variables that 527 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 6: I would watch for. But right now it doesn't look 528 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 6: like Syria is a transnational, trans regional risk. 529 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: If we continue to bolster our. 530 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 6: Allies who have a lot of capability to bring to 531 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 6: bear there. 532 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: How powerful of a military are we talking about with 533 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: this victorious rebel group, this al kaeda Isis alliance. I 534 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: don't have a good gauge on what they can do 535 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: and what they can't do. Clearly they're capable enough regionally 536 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: to oust Assad, which says they can do something, But 537 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 1: can they take on Israel? 538 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 6: Well, this is where if you are a constructive power, 539 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 6: it takes more time, money and material to do good 540 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 6: things than it does to do bad things. I mean, really, 541 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 6: at low tech and low cost, they can do awful 542 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 6: things to people, whether they're in Israel or elsewhere. And 543 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 6: that's just the way. Another way that life is unfair 544 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 6: when it comes to militaries and bad actors in the world. 545 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 6: They clearly are capable enough to do that. But our 546 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 6: response should be if Israel would like to buy more 547 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 6: capabilities to bolster their deterrent, and if other responsible allies 548 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 6: in the region, maybe the Abraham Accords coalition of countries 549 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 6: wanted more material, we should sell it to them. They 550 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 6: have the money to buy it, and they could do 551 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 6: more to balance and deter in the region, whether it's 552 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 6: against Iran until it changes its form of government someday, 553 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 6: or just generally against their proxies in the region. I 554 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 6: think that's the safest way to go. Europe should be 555 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 6: doing more with Turkey on the other flank. They're a 556 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 6: NATO ally, but really Europe should be doing more to 557 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 6: bolster some sense of stability and responsibility there. 558 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: What about Russia? Finally, I want to ask about Russia. 559 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: They obviously want that warm water port. I'm assuming they've 560 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: already lost it or they're going to lose it. I 561 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: don't assume they're just going to wash their hands of 562 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: this whole region, right. 563 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 6: I don't think they'll wash their hands of the region, 564 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 6: and I think they're pretty comfortable doing deals with the 565 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 6: devils that are wherever they may find them, and so 566 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 6: while there's been a change of caste, they may be 567 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 6: out temporarily, but I would expect them to seek to 568 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 6: use their influence. I mean, really, for Russia, I think 569 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 6: the biggest variable in the equation is Trump two point 570 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 6: zero and that bladdermir Putin may have bigger fish to 571 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 6: fry than access to a port through Syria and the 572 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 6: proxy activity that's been carried through that avenue of opportunity 573 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 6: that he's had. I think once we get a clearer 574 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 6: sense of where Trumps talks with Putin and the future 575 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 6: of the Russia Ukraine situation are going, we'll have a 576 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 6: better read on where things filter into the broader Middle East. 577 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 6: I think President Trump is going to be really strong 578 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 6: on the alliance with Israel, and it's going to be 579 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 6: really strong with the Abraham Accortz countries, and I think 580 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 6: that goes a long way to shaping the space that 581 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 6: Russia would try to engage. 582 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: Stephen, thank you so much, as always, that was dynamite. 583 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: Appreciate it all. Right, what's going on with RFK Junior? 584 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: What does he believe?

This has been a 588 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: multi year project. You know I don't eat well. How 589 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: do I make sure I'm getting everything in my body 590 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: I need? Every day?

Then 595 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: I eat breakfast, and I take a male Vitality stack 596 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: every single day.

What 605 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: do you know about RFK Junior. I have had the 606 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: experience of having heard him speak several times in person, 607 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: and I'll always be a skeptic of new arrivals. But 608 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: the things he says about our food, about our medical industry, 609 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: about the pharmaceutical industry in this country, they're pretty powerful. 610 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: And this is not some dummy who doesn't know what 611 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: he's talking about. He's clearly very well researched. But I 612 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: bet Jennifer Glardi knows a bit more about him than 613 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: I do. Joining me now, Culture Health and Policy writer, 614 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: my friend Jennifer Glardi. Okay, Jennifer Rfka Junior. Is he 615 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: just some seventy year old chiseled quack or is this 616 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: guy know what he's talking about? 617 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 8: Well, the proof is always in the pudding, right. You 618 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 8: look at this guy and he's seventy, and I'm like, guy, 619 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 8: he's pretty hot for seventy. I mean, you know, I'd 620 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 8: rather have him than Rachel Levine, a man who thinks 621 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 8: she's a woman. You know, it's in charge of our 622 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 8: health and in charge of our health policy. So that's 623 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 8: one thing. I mean, that's a step in the right direction. 624 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 8: You didn't have to jump over a very high bar there, 625 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 8: but I listen. I understand the concerns when it comes 626 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 8: to alternative therapies maybe and what RFKJ is selling and 627 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 8: non Western medical practices. It's a little bit of a 628 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 8: wild wild West out there. It's not regulated. There are 629 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 8: quite a few quacks, and he may come across as 630 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 8: that to some people. You've got Joe Rogan's of the 631 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 8: world espousing psychedelics, which I'm highly doubtful of, the Andrew 632 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 8: Huberman's of the world talking about some crazy stuff to 633 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 8: make sure all the Hubert Dads live until they're one 634 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 8: hundred and thirty years old. 635 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 7: And you know, people are like, this is nuts. So 636 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 7: I understand that. 637 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 8: Skepticism, and that's also taken out of context with people 638 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 8: who don't understand this like comprehensive, holistic landscape of health 639 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 8: and just kind of attack everything with the same tool. 640 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 8: And I've been in this arena for almost two decades 641 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,959 Speaker 8: and I still wish there was someone there that would 642 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 8: just tell me what to do and what I should. 643 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 7: And shouldn't eat. 644 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 8: So but there's some things he's nailing, which are the 645 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 8: additives in our food. There are definitely things we could 646 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 8: be doing better with our food. Supply, we can get 647 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 8: the red forty out of food. We can follow better 648 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 8: agricultural practices, We can definitely get the subsidies. 649 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 7: Out of agriculture. 650 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 8: The crops such as sugar, corn, wheat, all of these 651 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 8: were heavily subsidized by the government, which. 652 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 7: Kind of caused this explosion. And junk food. 653 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 8: They had to put that corn somewhere, so they made 654 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 8: corn syrup, these seed oils and things. 655 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 7: That were never in foods before. 656 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 8: My friend sent me an Instagram post today that put 657 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 8: side by side ice cream in probably the seventies and 658 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 8: then ice cream now the same brand, and ice cream 659 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 8: back then was cream, sugar, milk, and vanilla, whatever kind 660 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 8: of flavoring you want. Now it's a list of fifty ingredients. 661 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 8: So there's something going on there to look at. And 662 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 8: I think RFK has even if he didn't get this appointment, 663 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 8: just the awareness he's brought to this is really important. 664 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 8: So unfortunately, the overextension of government did start this problem 665 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 8: with kind of creating these junk foods and this addiction 666 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 8: to junk food that we now have which. 667 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 7: Causes all sorts of sickness. 668 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 8: Just obesity is the number one thing, but you can't 669 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 8: necessarily solve the problem with the same thing that created it, right, 670 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 8: So more government regulation. I think this is where I'm 671 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 8: a little cautious with RFKJ. I don't know that more 672 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 8: government regulation is the solution. What I'd like to see 673 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 8: is deregulation. Get the government out of agriculture, get the 674 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 8: subsidies out, return power to the people. That's what this 675 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 8: whole administration is about, right, Get government out of the way, 676 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 8: so then we have the opportunity to flourish. And I 677 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 8: think there has to be an appetite for health. People 678 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 8: have to now demand health, and I think that's what 679 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 8: this is about, and the MAHA movement's about, is that 680 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 8: we're now demanding health and then we actually have to 681 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 8: follow through. 682 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 7: I think that's true for the whole Trump presidency. 683 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 8: We've now been unburdened by what has been so to speak, 684 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,439 Speaker 8: you know Trump Now, I know I felt the lighter 685 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 8: after the last time we talked, which was the night 686 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 8: of the election. 687 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 7: I woke up I was so excited. 688 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 8: But now we actually have to do the work, and 689 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 8: people are going to have to do the work to 690 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 8: invest in their own health. 691 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: Jennifer, what do you think about that killer of the 692 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: United Healthcare guy being Italian. 693 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 7: Listen, now you know that's kind of the way it goes. 694 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 7: Ask the Italian. 695 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 8: It's a that's a stereotype. 696 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 7: But this is interesting because you mentioned the healthcare. 697 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 8: This guy's obviously a healthcare ceo, right, And the manifesto 698 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 8: from this killer now we know more he's really upset 699 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 8: that the healthcare system is not properly addressing people. But 700 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 8: it's you've got this bohemoth that has everything to do 701 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 8: with keeping people sick than flourishing health, and you're going 702 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 8: to get frustrations in that. I think the timing was 703 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 8: completely ill timed to these people who are applauding, you know, 704 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 8: this this maniac who killed the CEO of the healthcare company. 705 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 8: But we do need to do something about the system 706 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 8: because right now it's just this never ending circle of 707 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 8: pharmaceuticals diagnosis, more pharmaceutical side effects, more pharmaceuticals to treat those. 708 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 7: So you know, that's my take. 709 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: Plus he was Italian. All right, Let's go back to 710 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: RFK Junior, and you mentioned, you know, all the quackery 711 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: that's out there. You're much more in tune with, I 712 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: don't know, the healing crystals and chocolate weird o Indian stuff. 713 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't even know what all this stuff is. How 714 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 1: much of this stuff is he all about? Is he is? 715 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: Look again, you get an internet caricature of somebody is 716 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: not necessarily true. Is this a guy who rejects all 717 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: traditional medicine? What is he? No? 718 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 7: I don't think so. 719 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 8: And I think that's where the media gets it wrong. 720 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 8: And of course they're going to do that, just like 721 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 8: they're I mean, they're going to crush him if they're 722 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 8: a crushing pete hegsett. They're going to crush this guy 723 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 8: in his personal life. But you know, he's a disruptor. 724 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 8: He's a disruptor of the system, just like peak head 725 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 8: Seth will be. And just like Trump kind of had promised, 726 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 8: but he's not saying abolish vaccinations. 727 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 7: We need to do more research, just like take ozempic. 728 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,240 Speaker 8: There are no long term studies about ozempic, and now 729 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 8: it's being pushed through kind of medic here to be 730 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 8: covered by Medicare and governmental agencies. So I just think 731 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 8: there needs to be an honest examination of the agencies, 732 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 8: how they work together. And you pull on the string 733 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 8: of this and you also get to education. How are 734 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 8: we educating our kids about health instead of treating them 735 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 8: like these little robots that need to. 736 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 7: Learn math and science, which they do. 737 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 8: They need to learn how to read and write, but 738 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 8: they also need how to be need to know how 739 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 8: to be. 740 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 7: Good human beings. I think I don't even know if 741 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 7: you can say this anymore. Home ech? Can you bring that? 742 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 7: Can we say home ech? 743 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 8: I'm not sure what we would call it in politically 744 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 8: correct language, but we need to bring homech back into 745 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 8: the curriculum. Obviously physical education back into the curriculum. 746 00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 7: These kids. 747 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 8: You put a bull, a fourteen year old boy in 748 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 8: a seat for six hours a day, of course he's 749 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 8: gonna go crazy. That kid needs to punch something, throw something, 750 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 8: run something out. You know, we're not treating children, and 751 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,919 Speaker 8: we're not treating people as kind of human beings. We're 752 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,280 Speaker 8: treating them as these autonomous little soldiers. 753 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, we do need to bring homech back. That was 754 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: where all the chicks were. I loved homeck when I 755 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: was in high school. Okay, so let's let's talk about 756 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: these dies. Like you mentioned red dye forty or whatever 757 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: this weird crap is, but it didn't used to be there. 758 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: So how is that? How that how does that come 759 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: from regulation? I want you to explain to me who 760 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: decided to start putting this die crap in my twinkies. 761 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 8: I mean, there's all sorts of conspiracy theories out there. 762 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 8: What it was that it came from. I believe something 763 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 8: that was manufactured for weapons and then they needed to 764 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 8: do something with it, and they could figure it out. 765 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 8: They could turn it into a food dye and sell 766 00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 8: it and put it into foods to make it more 767 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 8: or to make it more appealing to children. It really 768 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 8: does that. That bright dye is not normal, so that's 769 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 8: a marketing thing. 770 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:08,879 Speaker 7: Again. 771 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 8: I don't like to comment on the kind of conspiracy 772 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 8: theories about this came from the Department of Defense, and 773 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 8: you know, I don't know about that. 774 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 7: That's not my area of expertise. 775 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 8: But I can tell you marketing wise, it was used 776 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 8: definitely to make these foods more appealing a lot of 777 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 8: times to children. 778 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: Kids are dumb too, We'll believe that, Jennifer.
