Has 27 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: had a huge impacts already started. 28 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 4: What is that definition for equal protection purposes? What does 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: what does it mean to be a boy or a 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 4: girl or. 31 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 7: A man or sorry I misenters through your question. I 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 7: think that the underlying enactment, whatever it was. 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 8: The policy, the law would have to we'd have to have. 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 7: An understanding of how the state or the government was 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 7: just understanding that term to figure out whether. 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 9: Or not someone was excluded. 37 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 8: We do not have a definition for the work. 38 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 10: Well, how can a court determined whether there's discrimination on 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 10: the basis of sex without knowing what sex means? 40 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 11: Greatcal protection purposes? 41 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 7: I think here we just know that we basically know 42 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 7: that the that they've identified, pursuing to their own statute, 43 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 7: Lindsay qualifies as a birth sex male, and she's being 44 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 7: excluded categorically from the women's teams as the statute. So 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 7: we're taking the statue's definitions as we find them, and 46 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 7: we don't dispute them on. 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: Whether we'll retaliate in the instance of US strikes. 48 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 12: I guess us asked in the Middle East, what do you. 49 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 13: Say to US service members about why it's worth the 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 13: risk and you're feeding on. 51 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ron said that the last time I blow them 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: up with the nuclear capability that which they don't have 53 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: any longer. So Aron said that the last time they 54 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: better behave. 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 14: This is what we used to see and why we 56 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 14: used to feel superior. 57 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: To Russia and. 58 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 9: To China. 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 14: And to the old Soviet Union, because we would see 60 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 14: people picked up on the street like this in those 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 14: countries from merely protesting. Now that is happening to American 62 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 14: citizens in American neighborhoods, in the suburbs in America, and 63 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 14: anybody who believes that there's anything American about that, well, 64 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 14: they must have just emigrated here from Beijing. 65 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: This looks like Russia, it really does. 66 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 14: This looks like something that you would expect in Russia, 67 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 14: that protesters. This is happening to protesters, not suspected murderers, 68 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 14: are rapists. 69 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 15: This is what America looks like. 70 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 14: In twenty twenty. 71 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: Five for protesters. 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 14: We always looked at what happened to the Soviet Union 73 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 14: and looked at what happened in Putin's Russia. 74 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 16: This woman was part of a group of people who 75 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 16: they train to try to be ICE interrupters, and what 76 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 16: they try to do is observe what ICE is doing, 77 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 16: film them, and try to use their white privilege. 78 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 9: To be honest, they're mainly white. 79 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: People, which is what we ask which is what we 80 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: ask them to do. 81 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 16: Yeah, because black people like we can't get on, we 82 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 16: can't put our bodies on the line because cops will 83 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 16: shoot us. And so the presumption had been particularly a 84 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 16: white woman because remember, part of the rationale for doing 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 16: this with ICE is to save white women, Christine, white 86 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 16: women from. 87 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 9: Being ravaged by you know, criminal brown men. So they 88 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 9: white women have been taking the lead. 89 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 12: All we're learning from this is that you should hit 90 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 12: the gas. If you should, you should run them over. 91 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 12: You should run them over with your car, and you 92 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 12: should do it quickly before they could shoot you. 93 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 8: I have to go to my mechanic. 94 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 12: I have to hit my car fixed so that I 95 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 12: can drive faster, just in case this is insane. 96 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 8: You should hit them. You should hit them. 97 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 12: They will say you hit them anyway. 98 00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: True. 99 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 17: Every day there's a battle for your mind. Raging information 100 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 17: coming from every angle, but the will to the sieve, 101 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 17: fear not. You found the place for truth, the voice 102 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 17: of a generation that still has the will to believe 103 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 17: in the greatest country in the history of the world. 104 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Suck a lot, here 105 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: we go. All right, Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. 106 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 5: It's January fourteenth, twenty twenty six. It's a new year, 107 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: but the same old tactics are being deployed in the 108 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 5: streets of American cities to battle deportations. 109 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: Mass deportations. 110 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 5: Something Charlie cared a lot about, something we at the 111 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 5: show continue to care a lot about. I believe that 112 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 5: deportations and immigration is the single most important issue. There's 113 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 5: lots of important issues, but I believe it is the 114 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 5: most important issue to fixing the country. It is the switch, 115 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 5: when flipped, that could fix a number, if not all, 116 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 5: the ills that we are currently facing. So what is 117 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 5: happening right now in the streets of Minneapolis. 118 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: We have a. 119 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 5: Scourge of tyrannical, often white, affluent ladies, leftist ladies who 120 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 5: are now being used as cannon fodder on the front 121 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: lines of communist front groups. Attempting to attack and delegitimize 122 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 5: ICE operations in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Portland, beyond Chicago, New York. 123 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 5: And so we have to analyze what is actually happening. 124 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 5: How are they going about recruiting this whole crop of women. 125 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 5: Often it's men, too, be fair, but it is often women, 126 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 5: often childless women, often white women, that are putting their 127 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 5: bodies on the line to impede, obstruct, harass, harangue, and 128 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 5: attack law enforcement personnel in the streets of America's cities. 129 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: So Blake. The question then, is what is an awful? 130 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: I want to. 131 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 5: Start with our base operating language here so that everybody's 132 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 5: on the same page. 133 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 6: So an awful is this is a slang term. It's 134 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 6: probably about a decade old at this point. 135 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: Yes, and it's. 136 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 6: Short for affluent white female liberal AWFL. But you pronounce 137 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 6: it awful for well, pretty pretty clear reasons. 138 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's a type. 139 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 6: It's a type we see over and over again. We're 140 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 6: seeing it in these ICE protests. But you saw it 141 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 6: a tundering BLM. Most people probably know an awful or two. Uh, 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 6: And it's it's contained within that so affluent white female 143 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 6: liberal it's it's generally they don't need to be ultra rich, 144 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 6: but generally at least middle class, reasonably secure. 145 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: They're very much the stereotypical. 146 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 6: Intense you know, put up in this house, we believe signs, 147 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 6: but they do it with usually within a pretty strong 148 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 6: cocoon of security. So you know, we'll put like immigrants 149 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 6: welcome in their neighborhood that has a pretty low immigrant 150 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 6: population that's very secluded from America's. Yeah, they still live 151 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 6: in neighborhood that looks like it's nineteen fifty eight. They 152 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 6: you know, we'll really hate on police and then live 153 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 6: in a suburb that's very far away from anywhere that 154 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 6: the police are really needed that much, very militant about. 155 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 6: You know, probably spend a lot of too much time 156 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 6: on social media, so they get very whipped up on 157 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 6: every cause. 158 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: They change their profile. 159 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 6: Pick for every new thing, every new thing, every new scandal, 160 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 6: every every to do, and they have they tend to 161 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 6: have enough free time to get very involved in activism, 162 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 6: so they go to marches. So ten years ago they 163 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 6: would be or fifteen years ago, they would be marching 164 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 6: for gay rights. Ten years ago they'd be getting whipped 165 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 6: up for blm anti Trump, and you know today now 166 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 6: they're going around saying that ICE is the Gestapo. 167 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Nazis. 168 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 5: They're they're referring to themselves as the French Resistance, which 169 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 5: the French Resistance obviously was fighting the Nazis. So it's 170 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 5: this isn't MSNBC now msn ms now reporter referring to 171 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 5: them as this. But they are organized, they are being trained, 172 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 5: they are being dispatched in a coordinated effort to harass, harangue, 173 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 5: attack ICE officers. They are convinced that they are freedom fighters, 174 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 5: that this is the modern day, noble, virtuous cause that 175 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 5: they have become. 176 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Wrapped up in for righteous reasons. 177 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 5: And it's incredible the number of people that they can 178 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 5: convince that this is in fact true. And what's wild 179 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 5: is you have black women like Joy Reid encouraging white 180 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 5: women to put their bodies on the line. They're white 181 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 5: bodies on the line. Play cut three sixteen. 182 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 16: This woman was part of a group of people who 183 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 16: they train to try to be ICE interrupters, and what 184 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 16: they try to do is observe what ICE is doing, 185 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 16: film them and try to use their white privilege. 186 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 9: To be honest, they're mainly white people, which is. 187 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: What we ask which is what we ask them to 188 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah. 189 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 16: Because black people like we can't get on, we can't 190 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 16: put our bodies on the line because cops will shoot us. 191 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 16: And so the presumption had been particularly a white woman, 192 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 16: because remember part of the rationale for doing this with 193 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 16: ICE is to save white women, Christine, white women from 194 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 16: being ravaged by you know, criminal brown men. So they 195 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 16: white women have been taking the lead. 196 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: Gosh the race, lady Joy Reid. 197 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 5: She continues to haunt us from beyond cable news in 198 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 5: the nightly broadcast. But why this is important, Blake, is 199 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 5: because they are actually encouraging real crazy people to and 200 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 5: I believe this is the entire game is they're gonna 201 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 5: say all these crazy things. 202 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: You've got Jacob Frace and get out, You're not welcome here. 203 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 5: You're gonna have everybody comparing them to Gestapo and Nazis 204 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 5: and all of this, and then you're gonna have actual 205 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 5: crazy people. You shake the tree long enough, some are 206 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 5: gonna fall out and do crazy stuff that actually are 207 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 5: advocating for killing, shooting, ramming, running over ICE agents through 208 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 5: twenty seven. 209 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: Dame on them, run right on. 210 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 13: We we are right and we're gonna stand up and 211 00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 13: we're gonna fight. 212 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: Life, completely deranged off their rock or off their meds. 213 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: There's more examples so. 214 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 6: Chantings besides the point it's there was a reporter from 215 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 6: the Free Press who has been in Minneapolis and talking 216 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 6: to people, and he spoke with ICE agents who say 217 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 6: that they're having put up a three forty seven there. 218 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 6: He says that these protesters are loosening lugnuts on their car, 219 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 6: on their cars like when they're in parking lots. They're 220 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 6: tracking federal vehicles using air tags. They use whistles to 221 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 6: kind of stalk them and just like blow them constantly 222 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 6: to be like Ices here, it's like a constant attempt 223 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 6: at harassment of law enforcement, hindrance of law enforcement. And 224 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 6: of course we see them blocking roads, ramming attacks on 225 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 6: cars and the most extreme outcomes, which I don't think 226 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 6: awfles are going to do this, but this is going 227 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 6: to be, though you Tyler Robinson types. 228 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,599 Speaker 1: There's going to be someone who's whipped up about this. 229 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 6: They've read too many posts on Blue Sky, seeing too 230 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 6: many tiktoks, and they're mentally unwell and they're gonna take 231 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 6: a rifle and. 232 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: Shoot these guys. Yeah, and I don't think you can. 233 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 6: Frankly, when you just you can go on Blue Sky 234 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 6: and find people saying shoot ice on site. They are 235 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 6: literal Gestapo agents. That's from someone calling herself Lady Rain. 236 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 6: She her has an anime avatar that might that might 237 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 6: be a biological and we have this three thirty eight. 238 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 5: Just roll through some of these literally just organize and 239 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 5: shoot ice on site. They are literal Gestapo agents. 240 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: Go to the next one. 241 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Alliance Against Gun Violence, but with the recent 242 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 5: ice murder and shootings, I think police organizations across the 243 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 5: country should have every officer shoot ice agents on site. 244 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 6: I've seen way too many VIDs of Ice Nazis brutalizing us, 245 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,359 Speaker 6: murdering us. It would not surprise me to see Americans 246 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 6: randomly shoot ice Nazis on site in an effort of 247 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 6: self protection survival. 248 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and here you go. There's another another 249 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: example three twenty eight. This is a TikTok leftist saying 250 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 5: the big lesson from Minneapolis is that you got to 251 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 5: get your car work done so you can drive faster 252 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 5: over an ice agent. 253 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: Three twenty eight. 254 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 12: All we're learning from this is that you should hit 255 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 12: the gas if they're there, you should you should run 256 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 12: them over. You should run them over with your car, 257 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 12: and you should do it quickly before they can shoot you. 258 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 8: I have to go to my mechanic. 259 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 12: I have to get my car fixed so that I 260 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 12: can drive faster, just in case this is insane. 261 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: You you should hit them. 262 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 9: You should hit them. 263 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 8: They will say you hit them anyway. You should hit 264 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 8: them with your car. 265 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 6: The best way to not have a bad interaction with 266 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 6: Ice is to just let Ice do the drop better. 267 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: Yet, let Ice go to jails to arrest, to us the. 268 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 6: Illegals who wind up there, go to prisons, to rust 269 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 6: of the leegals who wind up there, go to court 270 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 6: to rust of the illegals who. 271 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Wind up there. Well, now we're gonna and then you 272 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: don't need to do raids in random neighborhood. 273 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 5: And I want to talk about this because Joe Rogan 274 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 5: has gotten into the fray basically saying that these raids 275 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 5: are too extreme, they're too brutal. And I couldn't disagree 276 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 5: more with Joe Rogan. And to Blake's point, if Minneapolis 277 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 5: wants raids and wants street raids, and you know, abductions 278 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 5: or apprehensions on the streets to stop. 279 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: Then maybe they. 280 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 5: Should coordinate with ICE, Maybe they should coordinate with DHS 281 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 5: when they actually pull somebody over, arrest them, put them 282 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 5: in jail. You could do that securely, safely, but they 283 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 5: were refusing to do that. They would rather release the 284 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 5: criminals back onto the streets of Minneapolis. 285 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: And that's what these women are fighting for. 286 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 5: More on this war on the streets in Minneapolis when 287 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 5: we get right back, all right. Private student loan debt 288 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 5: in the United States totals about three hundred billion dollars. 289 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 5: I was waiting for you to chime in there. I've 290 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 5: done it a few times. Yeah, I just wanted to 291 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 5: see if you actually had the number down pad. Forty 292 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 5: five billion of that is labeled as distressed. Why Refi 293 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 5: refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others will 294 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 5: not touch. They provide you with a custom loan payment 295 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 5: based on your ability to pay. Why Refi is not 296 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 5: a debt settlement company, and they work with each borrower individually, 297 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 5: tailoring each loan to each borrower specific situation. 298 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: So that is the key.

They will 302 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 5: work with you even if your credit is not great, 303 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 5: if it's bad, and they will do a three minute 304 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 5: rate check that has no credit impacts. 305 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna want to check that out. 306 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 5: They'll even let you skip a payment every six months 307 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 5: up to twelve times without penalty. 308 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: You don't have to. 309 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: Ignore that amount of student loan statements on your kitchen 310 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: table anymore.

They support the work that we 317 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 5: do here.

And the only way to stop this, 338 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 19: let's be honest, is going to be to get violent. 339 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 19: We gotta get violent people. And I'm tired of denying it, 340 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 19: and I'm tired of y'all being bit about it. 341 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: Grow up. 342 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 18: We're not gonna get through this holding hands. 343 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 19: Peaceful protest only works if your enemy has a moral 344 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 19: obligation to listen to it. 345 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 11: They have none. 346 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 19: You guys are sitting there holding up signs and saying, Oh, 347 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 19: I'm mad at you. 348 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: You're pathetic. 349 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 6: Burn something, burn something, shoot something, and it's just clear 350 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 6: what they want. There's also this article that happened yesterday 351 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 6: in the Daily Beasts that had me really angry at 352 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 6: from a guy Tom Latcham. In case someone can, I 353 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 6: don't know, go harass that guy. It's personal details of 354 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 6: thousands of Border and ICE Border Patrol and ICE goons 355 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 6: allegedly leaked in huge data breach. That's the headline Ice Goons, 356 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 6: and it's all about. There's some four website I believe 357 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 6: it's operated out of the Netherlands, and it's called ice 358 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 6: List and it's literally just like a wiki style database 359 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 6: of every single person who works at DHS that they 360 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 6: can get information on and they get their names, they're 361 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 6: getting their phone numbers, they're using that to cross reference 362 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 6: and get their addresses. The goal is to get as 363 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 6: much information as possible at every single person who works 364 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 6: with ICE and with the Border Patrol for so that 365 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 6: someone can watch that video, get all worked up, find 366 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 6: the person at ICE who lives closest to them, go 367 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 6: there and shoot them in the face. 368 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is this is really why you're getting 369 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 5: at the core of why this is important. I mean, 370 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 5: we saw this with Charlie right that the left used 371 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 5: dehumanizing language about Charlie's a Nazi, Charlie's a racist, Charlie's 372 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 5: a bigot, Charlie's a hater, you know, even Tyler Robinson. 373 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 5: There's just some hate you can't negotiate out, or something 374 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 5: like that, right, that was a statement. 375 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: And that's what they're doing. 376 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 5: Here, is they're intentionally dehumanizing conservatives. They're intentionally dehumanizing ICE agents, 377 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 5: law enforcement personnel, federal personnel in order to justify their murder, 378 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 5: in order to justify doxing them, harassing them, harassing their family, 379 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 5: attacking their family. Who knows what these psychos are capable of. 380 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 5: And again I go back to this fact that if 381 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 5: these jurisdictions do not want raids, at least at this scale, 382 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 5: then they would. 383 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: Cooperate with ICE. 384 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 5: They are actually letting out onto the streets murderers, child abusers, 385 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 5: child rapists. They are letting them back out on the streets, 386 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 5: and instead of deporting them, they have them all over 387 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 5: the country. Now we're up to about six hundred and 388 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 5: fifty thousand deportations actually above that. Now those are forceful 389 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 5: removals from the country, six hundred and fifty thousand of them. 390 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 5: According to tom Home and borders our tom Home in 391 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 5: About sixty five to seventy percent of those are actual 392 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 5: criminals that have committed crimes once breaking the law to 393 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 5: get in here in the first place. Right, So they're 394 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 5: all criminals because they got here without us welcoming them 395 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 5: or doing it the right way. Sixty five to seventy 396 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 5: percent of the six hundred and fifty thousand that have 397 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 5: been deported are actual criminals on the streets. And I 398 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 5: have to come for Joe Rogan because he is simply 399 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 5: wrong on this issue. 400 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: Play cut three thirty six. 401 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 20: You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming 402 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 20: around snatching people up, many of which turn out to 403 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 20: actually be US citizens. They just don't have their papers 404 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 20: on them. Are we really going to be that the Gestapo? 405 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 20: Where's your papers? Is that what we've come to? 406 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 11: All right? 407 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 5: Joe, I'm a fan, Charlie was a fan, an admirer, 408 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 5: But you're wrong. 409 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: Out of the six. 410 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 5: Hundred and fifty thousand forceful deportations, approximately one hundred and 411 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 5: seventy of those apprehensions were temporarily misapprehensions, meaning that they 412 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 5: were mistaken identities. They were eventually released. That is a 413 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 5: success rate of over ninety nine point nine percent. To 414 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 5: demand one hundred percent, you know, I would say accurate apprehensions. 415 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 5: To demand one hundred percent accuracy is unreasonable. And a 416 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 5: scale of this, it shows. 417 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 6: Shows the power of how media narratives frame people, because 418 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 6: how often do you think the police arrests the wrong person. 419 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: In just normal law enforcement all the time, all the time, Oh, we. 420 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 6: Thought you were involved in this thing. We were mistaken. 421 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 6: You have to let them out. We went into some 422 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 6: there was a fight, for example, and we arrested everyone 423 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 6: in the fight, and we later deduced to actually only 424 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 6: some of them were responsible for. 425 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: Starting this fight. This happens all the time. 426 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 6: Or they round up a bunch of kids and actually 427 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 6: only some of those kids were being troublemakers. 428 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: That happens, happens all of the time. 429 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 6: And frankly, you know, I bet the media could make 430 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 6: a gigantic whip people up into a mob about that 431 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 6: if they really wanted to, And instead the focus is endlessly. 432 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: Ice ice ice, the nu Gestapo, ice ice ice. So 433 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: in fact, we did this. 434 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 6: They did this with police from twenty thirteen through twenty twenty. 435 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 6: They whipped people up against the police. We got the 436 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 6: George Floyd moment, crime doubled overnight, and then people thought, 437 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 6: oh wait, actually, oh wait, the police were just they 438 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 6: were lying to us about the police the whole time, 439 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 6: and now they're running the same operation on ICE, and 440 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 6: unfortunately there's just a lot of people. I think Joe 441 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 6: Rogan is very symbolic of somewhat less engaged voters. Maybe 442 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 6: I'll just say, like lower information voters, and just they're 443 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 6: easily swayed one way or the other by a narrative, 444 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 6: especially if it's a novel narrative or something they haven't 445 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 6: quite seen before. So I think if they were doing 446 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 6: this to normal cops, he would recognize the pattern. But 447 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 6: ICE isn't normal cops. It's slightly different, it's a new issue, 448 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 6: and just it slightly alters their brain. But yeah, they're 449 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 6: not going to be one hundred percent effective on these things. 450 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 5: Well, and listen, a temporary apprehension in the course of 451 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 5: six hundred and fifty thousand plus forceful deportations of people 452 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 5: that shouldn't be here, sixty five to seventy percent of 453 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 5: them are criminals. 454 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: I'll take that success any day. And if you want 455 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: to know why, we're doing this. 456 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: It's because Joe Biden led in millions of illegals. 457 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: They started the problem. We're fixing it. Get out of 458 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: the way. We're gonna analyze the psychology of it. 459 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 12: Next. 460 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 15: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice Newsbreak. 461 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: I'm Terrence Bates. 462 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 15: The House Oversight Committee has a contempt vote scheduled for 463 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 15: next week after both former President Bill Clinton and his 464 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 15: wife and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton failed to 465 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 15: show up for depositions related to the Oversight Committee's investigation 466 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 15: into Jeffrey Epstein. Their absence isn't necessarily a surprise, as 467 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 15: the former First Couple Congressman James Comer a letter saying 468 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,239 Speaker 15: that they weren't coming in pretty much daring Comer and 469 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 15: his committee to hold them in contempt. Quote, we expect 470 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 15: you will direct your committee to seek to hold us 471 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 15: in contempt. You will say it's not our decision to make, 472 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 15: but we have made it. Now you have to make yours. 473 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 15: The couple rights Congressional Republicans are blasting both the Clintons 474 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 15: and Congressional Democrats for this week's failures to appear. 475 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 10: They didn't show up today, They're only interested in this subject. 476 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 10: When it doesn't involve victims, and it doesn't involve the 477 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 10: political operatives in their party, that's the only time they're interested. 478 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 10: When it involves the Clintons or victims, obviously they're actually 479 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 10: not interested. 480 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 15: The former president was scheduled to testify on Tuesday. The 481 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 15: former Secretary of State scheduled to testify today. Committee Chair 482 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 15: James Comer says the Clinton sent a letter again saying 483 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 15: that they won't be appearing because they believe that Comer 484 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 15: subpoenas are quote legally invalid. 485 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 4: Happening today, Vice President j D. 486 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 15: Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosting the foreign 487 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 15: ministers of Denmark and Greenland. The meeting comes as the 488 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 15: Trump administration is ramping up the rhetoric and efforts to 489 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 15: take Greenland. All of this is part of a strategic 490 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 15: national security effort for the United States. Buying Greenland could 491 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 15: reportedly cost up to seven hundred billion dollars, but officials 492 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 15: from both Greenland and Denmark say the Arctic island isn't 493 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 15: for sale. Greenland, by the way, is an autonomous Danish territory. 494 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 15: Denmark just announced that it is increasing its military presence 495 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 15: in and around Greenland. In response to President Trump's threat 496 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 15: of taking the island by any means necessary. The Danish 497 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 15: Defense Ministry also says there will be more military exercises 498 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 15: in Greenland alongside European and Arctic partners. No American involvement 499 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 15: was mentioned, though. That's a great check off your headlines. 500 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 15: We appreciate you being here with us. Now let's get 501 00:25:39,119 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 15: you back to the Charlie kirkshow. 502 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 11: This movement will not be silenced. 503 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show. 504 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 5: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I think, Blake, 505 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 5: you've done a good job sort of. I think diagnosing 506 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 5: or describing the avatar of a lot of these people 507 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 5: that we see, you know, distilling their general traits in culture, 508 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 5: because it's there are stereotypes for a reason, because they 509 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 5: often are true. 510 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 11: Correct. 511 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: Now, this doesn't just impact women. 512 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 5: It's not just women that are getting co opted by 513 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 5: these communist front groups to go put their body on 514 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 5: the line like cannon fodder to fight ice or whatever, 515 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 5: playing g I Jane in the streets. It is men too, 516 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 5: and it help us diagnose actually what's going on here, 517 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 5: because I think it's a larger societal illness, a mental illness. Genuinely, 518 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 5: we call it trump to arrangement syndrome, but it's like 519 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 5: something even bigger than that, and it's enveloped in kind 520 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 5: of an anti colonial thing and an anti Western, anti 521 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 5: white thing. Is psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert. He's the author of 522 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 5: a book that comes out in May called Therapy Nation. 523 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 5: I thought was pertinent and relevant to our discussion today. 524 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 5: And just so everybody's aware, we're gonna get into Greenland, 525 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 5: we're gonna get into Iran a second hour, so just 526 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 5: hang tight with us on those stories as well. But Jonathan, 527 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,239 Speaker 5: welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's great to have 528 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 5: you here. 529 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 18: Yeah, thanks for having me, Andrew, I appreciate it. 530 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. And so you wrote this book, Therapy Nation. 531 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 5: You've kind of gone viral a couple times in the 532 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 5: beginning of the year and the end of last year 533 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 5: talking about some of these I guess mental ailments that 534 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 5: we see in the social media era, this hyper online era. 535 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 5: What do you make of these young people, often on 536 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 5: the left, that are so motivated by the propaganda that 537 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 5: they're willing to go literally ram ice officers put their 538 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 5: bodies on the line risk their lives by playing stupid games. 539 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: What do you make of it? 540 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 21: Yeah, and you have to really examine how we got 541 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 21: to the point where people are willing to cross police 542 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 21: lines and put themselves in such a harmful position. And 543 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 21: you know, it's a tragedy what happened in Minnesota, and 544 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 21: it shouldn't have happened, but it did. And we have 545 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 21: to look at what's going on in people's heads. And 546 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 21: we have grievance culture that has just run wild. And 547 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 21: if you look at the Luigi man Geom case, that's 548 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 21: always a good example. You know, you have someone who 549 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 21: felt it was his right, his duty to take out 550 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 21: this CEO of the United Healthcare There are a million 551 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 21: different things he could have done instead of killing this guy, 552 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 21: but he chose to do this. And what happens is 553 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 21: people villainize a person, an organization, a company, a politician, 554 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 21: and then they just feel that it is absolutely their 555 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 21: right to. 556 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 18: Take action on it. 557 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 21: And we've seen great tragedies as a result of this 558 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 21: type of deranged thinking. 559 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 18: And you're right. 560 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 21: I did write a piece in the Wall Street Journal 561 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 21: talking about Trump derangement syndrome, and I made it clear 562 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 21: that it's not an actual diagnosis. But what I see 563 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 21: in my practice is deeply concerning to me. We have 564 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 21: people who are sick, they're staying out at night, if 565 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 21: they can't sleep at night. They're highly anxious. They feel 566 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 21: that they're empowered and they can just take action, and 567 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 21: it's a real concern of mine and the mental health profession. 568 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 21: My profession really needs to take a hard look at 569 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 21: what's going on with these people. 570 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean to me, Jonathan, it feels like these groups, 571 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 5: these radical leftist groups, by the way, that we need 572 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 5: to root out the funding networks. 573 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: Treasuries working on that. 574 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 5: We're going to have some folks from Treasury soon talking 575 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 5: to them about how the progress is going about rooting 576 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 5: out the funding networks and the different connections. Right, We've 577 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 5: got ms ICE Watch that's actually training these agitators and 578 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 5: activists on how to disrupt ICE proceedings and ICE operations 579 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 5: in cities like Minneapolis and Portland and elsewhere. But it 580 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 5: feels to me that they are being preyed on. These 581 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 5: women are being preyed on. What makes them so vulnerable 582 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 5: and this is men too, to be fair, it's men 583 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 5: and women. But what makes them so vulnerable because Blake here, who's. 584 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: I think defined it really well. A lot of these 585 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: people are sort. 586 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 5: Of cocooned in communities or backgrounds that were safe, that 587 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 5: we're thriving, that we're happy in many ways, and yet 588 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 5: they are so alienated from America or so antagonistic to 589 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 5: America that they feel like this is some virtuous cause. 590 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: Why are they vulnerable? Doctor? 591 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 18: Yeah, and you're right. 592 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 21: It is both men and women and everything in between, 593 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 21: of course. And I think part of the problem is 594 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 21: social media. It's some media outlets, echo chambers are created, 595 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 21: and people are just surrounding themselves with people like minded 596 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 21: people and data that's not entirely accurate. So many of 597 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 21: my patients over the past several years have talked to 598 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 21: me about how they think that Trump is Hitler. They 599 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 21: think he's a Nazi. He's going to round up certain 600 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 21: segments of the population them off to a far away island. 601 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 21: And we all know this isn't true, but some people 602 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 21: actually believe this. And when all you do is surround 603 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 21: yourself with like minded people, you actually do start to 604 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 21: believe that, and it becomes easier to villainize tromp or 605 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 21: ice officers or police officers and I think that's partially 606 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 21: what we have playing out on the streets across America 607 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 21: and specifically in Minnesota. 608 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 6: Jonathan does this Is there like any end stage for this? 609 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 6: It just it feels so it feels like this does 610 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 6: end in some sort of like catastrophic meltsal meltdown. I mean, 611 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 6: we've seen some of these people who they they just 612 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 6: seem super genuinely mentally unwealth. Is this a phase that 613 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 6: passes and they get over it? Does it get worse 614 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 6: and worse? I guess it just doesn't seem super stable 615 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 6: to me. 616 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: Is there healing? 617 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 21: Well, It's definitely not stable. I've appeared on Fox TV 618 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 21: and number of times and I've discussed how political division 619 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 21: is wreaking havoc on our society, and we just came 620 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 21: out of the holiday season and I had patients who 621 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 21: refused to attend holiday dinner with their Trump voting uncle 622 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 21: or their progressive cousin. 623 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 18: And this really needs to end. 624 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 11: You know. 625 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 18: One of the things that I urged. 626 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 21: My patients to think about is that family and friends 627 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 21: should be more important than any political figure or political party. Unfortunately, 628 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 21: we're not seeing that, and it's reached a bit of 629 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 21: a fever pitch over the past few years. 630 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 18: So people really need to. 631 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 21: Get back to what's important to them. And honestly, most 632 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 21: of my patients are too busy trying to earn a 633 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 21: living and support their families than to go on the 634 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 21: streets and protest law enforcement officers. 635 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 6: Well, so you say the family and friend part is important, 636 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 6: I get why do you think we've gotten away from that? 637 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 6: We've talked at that on the show a lot, Charlie, 638 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 6: we talk about that a lot. 639 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: That there is that loss of family. 640 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 6: It seems so widespread though that it clearly seems systematic, 641 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 6: institutional societal I'm not sure people. It seems like people 642 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 6: just can't have the friends and family that they used to. 643 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: Everyone's too online. Is that the case, do you feel? 644 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 18: Yeah, and people are. 645 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 21: They're not looking at facts and data, they're looking They're 646 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 21: looking at the situation through the lens of emotion, and 647 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 21: that's really largely what's driving a lot of the behaviors 648 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 21: that we're seeing playing out, a lot of the pathological behaviors. 649 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 21: And if people could get back to friends, family, kids, passions, 650 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 21: hopefully that don't include politics, I think we'd get back 651 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 21: to a much better place as a nation. 652 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: So this is the new clip that's going around. 653 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 5: And you know, obviously the death of Renee Good, we 654 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 5: do not celebrate that. We actually feel terrible that she 655 00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 5: was convinced that this was a good idea for her 656 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 5: to go in the streets and obstruct ice officers and 657 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 5: that it ended in her death, and we think that's 658 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 5: a tragedy. That being said, there's another video that seems 659 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 5: to be riling everybody up. My question for you on 660 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 5: the other side of this video is when does activism 661 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 5: agitation turn into direct and outright violence and what are 662 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 5: the precursors for that three thirty four. 663 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 19: Injury? 664 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 10: I would. 665 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 5: So she was blocking ice agents in the street, she 666 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 5: was told to get out of the way. She didn't 667 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 5: obey commands, which seems to be a theme here. I 668 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 5: don't know if they're getting trained to intentionally disobey law 669 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 5: enforcement commands and orders. But this is the video that 670 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 5: is now being used to rile up more activists, more atitation, 671 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 5: more agi prop if you will. Is this what they 672 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 5: do intentionally so that a few crazies become willing to 673 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 5: use actual violence. 674 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 21: Yeah, I actually think that's part of what's going on here. 675 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 21: I think these people have simply lost sight of morals 676 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 21: and what's important. And we have laws in place for 677 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 21: a reason, and I think they're just overlooking the fact 678 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 21: that these laws exist. 679 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 18: And you know, these people. 680 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 21: Are are parents, if they're spouses, I don't think that's 681 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 21: coming into their thinking in that moment when they decide 682 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 21: to violate or not obey the law enforcement officers. But 683 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 21: that shows you just how powerful this is. People are 684 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 21: willing to sacrifice indirectly, unconsciously their lives for this cause 685 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 21: that's not even rooted in fact. So it's deeply concerning 686 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 21: to me as a mental health professional what we're seeing 687 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 21: play out on the streets. I used to be that 688 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 21: you would go out there, make some noise and get 689 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 21: your get your statements out there, and get your thoughts 690 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 21: out there. But now we have people that are actually 691 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 21: risking their lives and that's that's a very dangerous place 692 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 21: to be. 693 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, And and I guess the question is, you know 694 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 5: this hits home for us personally with what happened with Charlie, 695 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 5: is this dehumanizing language ultimately makes these some of these 696 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 5: crazy people think that they're doing something righteous when they 697 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 5: use violence. Again, when you call them gestapo when you 698 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 5: call them Nazis, What are the precursors? What do you 699 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 5: need to look for with people that could be actually 700 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 5: turning violent in using guns, cars, whatever. 701 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 21: Yeah, and that's what I saw with President Trump as well. 702 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 21: We had people that would just demonize him. 703 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 7: Uh. 704 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 21: They were convinced that he was a Nazi, a dictator, 705 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 21: and that just gave them the right and their pathologic 706 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 21: mind to take to take action. I think these people 707 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 21: lack purpose in their lives. I think they there's underlying anxiety, depression. 708 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 21: There's a lot of catastrophic thinking, a whole lot of 709 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 21: drama in their lives, and these people largely need an 710 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 21: object to displace that onto. And we saw it here 711 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 21: in New York with the election with Mandani and. 712 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 18: The hatred towards towards wealthy people. 713 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 21: It almost seems like they always need someone to blame 714 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,919 Speaker 21: for their own shortcomings. There was once a time when 715 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 21: we would look at wealthy people and feel inspired by 716 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 21: them and try to figure out how we could get 717 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 21: to that place. But now in some people's mind, we 718 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 21: go right towards hatred. So admiration doesn't seem to exist 719 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 21: these days. 720 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 5: Doctor you said that seventy five percent of your patients 721 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 5: and this is one of your viral stories, have what 722 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 5: you would call TDS. You know, you're saying it's not 723 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 5: an actual diagnosi, it's not clinical, but this is what 724 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 5: you would describe about seventy five percent. 725 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: Is that right? 726 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 21: Yeah, And it's not an actual diagnosis, but a lot 727 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 21: of what I'm seeing symptoms the high anxiety. People rearranged 728 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 21: in their their lives, deciding who they're who they date, 729 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 21: who they're friends with, whether they can take a vacation 730 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 21: or not. Uh, these are pretty significant actions that are 731 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 21: that are happening. And I would say about three quarters 732 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 21: of my patients are impacted by this in some way. 733 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 21: And I even went so far as to say it's 734 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,479 Speaker 21: the defining pathology of the last half decade. 735 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: Well, hopefully we can get through this. Doctor. Thank you 736 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: for your time. We appreciate your insight. 737 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 5: All right, God bless you and we'll talk to you. 738 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 18: Thank you, guys, Bye bye, We'll be right back. 739 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Charlie kirksh So, while we've been 740 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 6: discussing all of this drama with Ice, there's other drama 741 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 6: unfolding in the furthest Hyperborean North with Ice, with ice, 742 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 6: a lot of ice, not amounts of Iceland. 743 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: No true story. 744 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 6: So Greenland, the legend goes, I don't remember if this 745 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 6: is true, but the legend goes, Iceland is there that's 746 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 6: full of ice. And then Eric the Red sails further 747 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 6: and discovers Greenland and he names supposedly he names it 748 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 6: Greenland to scam people into wanting to move there. They 749 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 6: did have Norse settlements there for a long time. It 750 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 6: didn't work out great for them. They were I believe 751 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 6: eventually they were conquered. They kind of they had too 752 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 6: much inbreeding and they kind of fell into societal Okay, 753 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 6: there were only a few thousand people there, and they 754 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 6: were eventually conquered and killed by the Inuits, who were 755 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 6: not the original native inhabitants either. And then eventually Denmark 756 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 6: reacquired it. So it's not that they were always there. 757 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 6: They actually reacquired it later after this. They've been holding 758 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 6: it a long time. As I'm sure all of you 759 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 6: know by now, President Trump has become very interested in 760 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 6: acquiring Greenland. 761 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons to do that. 762 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 6: It is super far north and so a lot of 763 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 6: you may know, other than the Alaska near being near Russia. 764 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 6: The fastest way for America to European Russia is straight 765 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 6: north over the North Pole. That matters a lot for 766 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 6: things like nuclear submarines, ICBMs, all of those things. It's 767 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 6: just fastest point between two areas on a globe. And 768 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 6: so we've had military bases in Greenland ever since throughout 769 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 6: the Cold War. It's all noteworthy. On top of that, 770 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 6: it's a big chunk of land. There are potentially a 771 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 6: lot of natural resources beneath the thick Greenland ice sheet. 772 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 6: It could be economical to extract those someday as other 773 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 6: sources of resources run out. 774 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: So President Trump's been very interested in that. 775 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 6: Today, the Danish foreign minister was in the United States 776 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 6: in the Eisenhower Building to have a meeting with. 777 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: Jade Vans and Secretary of State Mark Rubio. We sounds 778 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: like we're. 779 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 6: Going to have a press statement from those Danish ministers 780 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 6: any minute now. It'll be interesting what they say. We've 781 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 6: heard that it went very well. 782 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: We have it. 783 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 6: We have a source who was at the meeting who 784 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 6: saw what the Vice President and what Mark Rubia did. 785 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 6: Remember they're supposed to be in a feud with each other, 786 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 6: but they seem to be working. 787 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: They're not. Of course they're not. They are allies. They 788 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: are working together on this. 789 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 6: They're very act Yeah, of course they're and apparently they 790 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 6: have made us proud on this one. It's very interesting 791 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 6: what's going on the White House. It's clear this is 792 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 6: a passion project of the President. Just today, the White 793 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 6: House tweeted which way Greenland man? And it's two kind 794 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 6: of sled dog things that the Greenland flag. And you know, 795 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 6: you can go with America or with China Russia. And 796 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 6: that's the line President Trump was taking today. He also 797 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 6: posted this untruth this morning the United States. The United 798 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 6: States needs Greenland for the purpose of national security. It 799 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 6: is vital for the Golden Dome, that's his missile defense 800 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 6: shield that we are building. NATO should be leading the 801 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 6: way for us to get it. If we don't, China 802 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 6: or Russia will. And that is not going to happen militarily. 803 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 6: Without the vast power of the United States, much of 804 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 6: which I built during my first term and am now 805 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 6: bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would 806 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 6: not be an effective force or deterrent, not even close. 807 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: They know that, and so do I. 808 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 6: NATO becomes more formidable and effective with Greenland in the 809 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 6: hands of the United States. Anything less than that is unacceptable. 810 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 6: And then I was always thank you for your attention 811 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 6: to this matter, President Donald Trump. 812 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: So this is it's all very interesting. 813 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 6: I think the President is right, it makes more sense 814 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 6: for Greenland to be with the United States. What I 815 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 6: do worry is he is definitely making this hard sell 816 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 6: on it. He's being very aggressive with Greenland's being very 817 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 6: aggressive with the Europeans. 818 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:49,720 Speaker 1: And maybe I'm a softye. 819 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 6: I think there's a very strong win win win case, 820 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 6: and you see the echoes of that in what he's saying, 821 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 6: which is that it would make NATO in our defense 822 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 6: stronger if it's with the United States in some sort 823 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 6: of permanent arrangement. As is, we have the bases there, 824 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 6: we've always had military access. 825 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: To it, especially after World War Two exactly. 826 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 6: But I think there's an active Greenland independence movement, and 827 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 6: I think people who do the math they wonder, well, 828 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 6: if Greenland were to get become independent. It's not very big. 829 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 6: It's population is under one hundred thousand people. There's fewer people. 830 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 6: There's fewer people in it then in Tempe. There's fewer 831 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 6: people there than in I think there's probably individual there's 832 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 6: individual square miles of New York City that have more 833 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,919 Speaker 6: people than Greenland does. 834 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: And so if you do the math on this, it's just. 835 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 6: An island that big is not going to be a 836 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,760 Speaker 6: truly independent country. It's going to be dependent on somebody, 837 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 6: the same way a lot of Pacific islands are basically 838 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 6: dependent on the United States or on Australia, and so 839 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 6: it's going to be dependent on someone if it became independent. 840 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 6: It could be that it will fall under Russian or 841 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 6: Chinese sway. They might just back up a dump truck 842 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 6: of money and say we're going to try to buy 843 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 6: you out, or they might just bribe people. There's not 844 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 6: a lot of people, you could bry the entire government 845 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 6: something like that. And so Trump is saying that's not 846 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 6: an acceptable outcome. But he could also point out Greenland. 847 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: Is basically a welfare ward of Denmark. 848 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 6: Denmark does not profit off of this arrangement spend They 849 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,879 Speaker 6: spend billions a year propping it up. America is far 850 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 6: more capable of handling that expense. Oh oh, we have 851 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 6: to support fifty five thousand mostly welfare dependence, and we 852 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 6: do that in a lot of Chicago suburbs too, and 853 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 6: so we're able to bear that cost more and we 854 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 6: can say Denmark, thank you for doing this, You're a 855 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 6: great ally. Here's a giant pile of money, and also 856 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 6: will guarantee a giant pile of money for the Greenlanders, 857 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 6: like we can give them more money than you do, 858 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 6: and we get better security. I think there's a very 859 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 6: strong win win win case to be made here. And 860 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 6: what I think would be the worst outcome is just 861 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 6: if this turns into some stupid fight, and that's what 862 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 6: we don't want is, as an example, let's say we 863 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 6: make it so anti US nation like nationalism in Europe 864 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 6: is now associated with being on the left and against America, 865 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 6: and this allows the left to win just enough elections 866 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 6: for them to great replace their entire populations. A peric victory, 867 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 6: very much a peric victory if you're a euro left nationalist. 868 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 869 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 5: Well, and so I think the question that a lot 870 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 5: of people have is, right now we have access to 871 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 5: the bases, so we do have some sort of military 872 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 5: foothold there. We could build more potentially. I'm sure Denmark 873 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 5: would be willing to negotiate it. Why push for full ownership. 874 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 6: I think it's that independence question that there's that lack 875 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,280 Speaker 6: of permanency to it. Anything that is not a truly 876 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 6: permanent relationship can be changed, and there is that independence 877 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 6: movement in Greenland, and once they're an independent actor, anything 878 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 6: can happen. If you want an example of how these 879 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 6: of how very long term arrangements can change, Britain when 880 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 6: they had Hong Kong in the south of China, they 881 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 6: made a ninety nine year lease and the story goes 882 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 6: that they made it ninety nine years because permanent felt 883 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 6: weird and the guy thought, well, ninety nine years is 884 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 6: basically permanent, right, ninety nine years was not permanent. 885 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: It expired and they gave up Hong Kong to. 886 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 6: The People's Republic of China and a long term military 887 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 6: base in Greenland. That can change after one election in 888 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 6: Denmark or after one independence referendum in Greenland, Well said, 889 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 6: And that is why President Trump. President Trump knows the 890 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 6: value of permanency. It is a real interest here and 891 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 6: we just have to hope that Marco Rubio and the 892 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 6: Vice President are able to make that strong pitch to 893 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 6: the Danish government. 894 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 5: Well, so far indications are that it was a very 895 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 5: positive meeting. So We're going to wait and see what 896 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 5: those press statements indicate, hopefully that they are positive. And listen, 897 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 5: at some point, you have to give this to the 898 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 5: Greenlanders themselves. 899 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: There's fifty seven thousand of them. 900 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,440 Speaker 5: They probably do are incentivized by a payday coming up 901 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 5: if they link arms with the United States in a 902 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 5: permanent fashion. So we're going to watch that and we 903 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 5: will update you in the second hour if we news, 904 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 5: We're going to turn our attention to Iran next. 905 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 11: Don't go anyway, Terrence, be. 906 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 4: Two with your Real America's Voice news break. Thanks so 907 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 4: much for being here with us. Happening right now. Vice 908 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 4: President j. D. 909 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 15: Vance and Secretary of State Mark or Rubio are said 910 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 15: to be meeting with the foreign ministers of Denmark and 911 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,280 Speaker 15: Greenland in order to discuss President Trump's intention of taking 912 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 15: control of Greenland. The administration says the small island is 913 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 15: a key strategic site for US national security and the Arctic. 914 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 15: Buying Greenland could cost up to seven hundred billion with 915 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 15: a B dollars, but officials from both Greenland and Denmark 916 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 15: say the island isn't for sale. President Trump has said 917 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 15: he wants the island one way or another. In response, 918 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 15: Denmark just announced this morning that it is increasing its 919 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 15: military presence in and around Greenland. The Danish Defense Ministry 920 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 15: also saying there will be more military exercises in Greenland 921 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 15: alongside European and Arcic Arctic partners. No American involvement has 922 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 15: been mentioned. Greenland, by the way, is currently a territory 923 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 15: of Denmark. American personnel at a key US basin Qatar 924 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,720 Speaker 15: are being advised to evacuate as soon as this evening 925 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 15: in response to the ongoing situation in nearby Iran. The 926 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 15: move is said to be precautionary. In the meantime, the 927 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 15: death toll in Iran has surpassed twenty five hundred people 928 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 15: following weeks of protests that have extended across all of 929 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 15: Iran's thirty one provinces. Governments across the Middle East also 930 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 15: discouraging the Trump administration from getting into a war with Iran, 931 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 15: fearing quote unprecedented consequences. Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabian, Pakistan have 932 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 15: been in constant contact with the Trump administration over the 933 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 15: potential of US strikes in Iran. They believe such attacks 934 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 15: would spark a full blown bar President Trump would say you. 935 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: They got to show you humanity. 936 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 2: They've got a big problem, and I hope they're not 937 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 2: going to be killing people, and I'm going to have 938 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:10,919 Speaker 2: a report very soon. 939 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 1: It would seem to me that. 940 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 4: They have been badly misbehaving for now. 941 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 15: The US is slapping any country that does business with 942 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 15: Iran with tariffs, and just this morning, Iran's National or 943 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 15: Revolutionary Guard went on record blaming the United States and 944 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 15: Israel for inciting the current protests there and the subsequent deaths. 945 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,959 Speaker 15: The House Oversight Committee has a vote scheduled for next 946 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,240 Speaker 15: week after both former President Bill Clinton and his wife 947 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 15: and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton failed to show 948 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 15: up for depositions related to the Oversight Committee's investigation into 949 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 15: Jeffrey Epstein. Their absence isn't necessarily a surprise, as the 950 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 15: former first couple sent Congressman Comber a letter saying that 951 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 15: they weren't coming and pretty much daring Comer and his 952 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 15: committee to hold them in contempt of Congress. Quote they 953 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,839 Speaker 15: wrote in this letter, we expect you will direct your 954 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 15: committee to seek to hold us in contempt. You will 955 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 15: say it's not our decision to make, but we have 956 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 15: made it. 957 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 4: Now you have to make yours. 958 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 15: Congressional Republicans in the meantime are blasting both the Clintons 959 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 15: as well as Congressional Democrats for this week's failures to appear. 960 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 10: They didn't show up today. They're only interested in this 961 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 10: subject when it doesn't involve victims, and it doesn't involve 962 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 10: the political operatives in their party. That's the only time 963 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 10: they're interested. When it involves the Clintons or victims. Obviously, 964 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 10: they're actually not interested. 965 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 15: The former president was scheduled to testify on Tuesday. The 966 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,280 Speaker 15: former Secretary of State was scheduled to be deposed today, 967 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 15: Committee chair James Comer saying the Clinton sent a letter 968 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 15: saying that they won't be appearing because they believe, in 969 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 15: Comer's words quote that they were that the subpoenas excuse 970 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 15: me were legally invalid. Well, in general, it's been a 971 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 15: fairly quiet public schedule on the tap for the White 972 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 15: House and specifically President Trump today. However, he does have 973 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 15: a signing ceremony schedule for this afternoon. But on Tuesday, 974 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 15: a much different story, as the Commander in chief spent 975 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 15: the day in Detroit, touring a forward plant and later 976 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 15: addressing the Detroit Economic Club. His remarks spanned the gamut 977 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 15: from business to current political challenges, including the administration's continued 978 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 15: crackdown on illegal immigrants in cities and states that seek 979 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 15: to protect them. 980 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 2: Starting February first, we're not making any payments to sanctuary 981 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 2: cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything 982 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 2: possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens 983 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,880 Speaker 2: and it breeds fraud and crime and all of the 984 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,280 Speaker 2: other problems that come. So we're not making any payment 985 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 2: to anybody that supports sanctuary cities. 986 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 15: That's going to do it for your headlines. As always, 987 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 15: we appreciate having you along for the ride. Now let's 988 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 15: get you back to your regularly scheduled programming. 989 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: All right, welcome. 990 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 5: Our two of the Charlie Kirk Show is under way, 991 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 5: and we are turning our sights on Ron. 992 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 1: There has been I would say that virginy or won't 993 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: he will? Yeah, well hey, well here, won't he is? 994 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 5: Uh. And we're talking obviously about whether or not Trump 995 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:41,040 Speaker 5: is going to take kinetic military action, fully support economic, 996 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 5: moral support of the Iranian people, all that stuff. 997 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: There's a huge question about military action. 998 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 5: Help us to help us unpack this is maya Tucy 999 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,760 Speaker 5: I hope I got that approximately correct. 1000 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 1: Founder of Tucy TV based out of London. He's Iranian. 1001 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. 1002 00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 3: Thank you for having them guys, Thank you. 1003 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. So. 1004 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,879 Speaker 5: There's multiple questions swirling right now about the around in question, 1005 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,879 Speaker 5: if you're an American right, will President Trump take action 1006 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 5: militarily to support the independence movement that is obviously pouring 1007 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 5: over into the streets. 1008 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 1: But there's also a. 1009 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 5: Question about how brutal has the regime cracked down on 1010 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 5: protesters really become. I've seen some reports quote a number 1011 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 5: of twenty five hundred dead, which is already extraordinary, by 1012 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 5: the way, I've seen other reports that it's twelve thousand. 1013 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 5: Do you have any insight on what the accurate figure is. 1014 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 22: Yeah, So you can't really take any of these because 1015 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 22: in the past we've had a lot of uprisings and crackdowns. 1016 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 22: I've had hundreds and hundreds, sometimes over one thousand when 1017 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 22: it comes to the massacre. BUTSA obviously the official figures 1018 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 22: that the mainstream media keep going with is, you know, 1019 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,720 Speaker 22: a thousand, sometimes six hundred on the ground. All the 1020 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 22: information that we have from the hospitals and the whistleblowers 1021 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 22: that Obviously, it goes to the idea that it's thousands. 1022 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 22: There was a leak from the inner circle of an 1023 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 22: Ali Commends Supreme Leader a few days ago and the 1024 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,919 Speaker 22: documents signed by him or the direct order, and they 1025 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,279 Speaker 22: believe they themselves that it was about twelve thousand. Now 1026 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 22: they are also unofficial figures that's just come out that 1027 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 22: is closer to twenty thousand. But as President Trump said, 1028 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 22: even one is enough, and that that is a main 1029 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:21,399 Speaker 22: argument right now. 1030 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 3: The mainstream media wants to get into the debate. 1031 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 22: Well, if it's two thousands instead of four thousand, then 1032 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 22: is it really our business? 1033 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 5: That's the problem right there is sort of a it's 1034 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,160 Speaker 5: a weird math you have to contemplate if you're going 1035 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,439 Speaker 5: to consider military action. 1036 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:38,800 Speaker 1: Is there a threshold? 1037 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 5: Is there a I mean, it's an awkward question to ask, 1038 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 5: but certainly when you're dealing with Iran that has a 1039 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:49,760 Speaker 5: history of squashing uprisings off, often violently with lethal force, 1040 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,919 Speaker 5: this is not necessarily something new, But this is new 1041 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 5: because of the scale, in the scope and just how 1042 00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 5: widespread these protests have. 1043 00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 1: Become in Iran. 1044 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 5: Why don't you take take us into that psychology about 1045 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 5: what is driving these protests, Why is this unique, why 1046 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 5: is this new, and why does this maybe portend an 1047 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 5: actual change in leadership in Iran. 1048 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 22: Yeah, so, firstly, when it comes to any potential action 1049 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 22: by the US and President Trump, it's not really just 1050 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 22: about the scale of the uprising we shall get into. 1051 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 22: It's also about how dangerous the Islamic Republic has become 1052 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 22: to the world, including to President Trump directly, because they 1053 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:29,759 Speaker 22: tried to assassinate them. 1054 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 3: A couple of times over the last couple of years. 1055 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 3: The reality of the situation. 1056 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 22: Is that this uprising was obviously building up for a 1057 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 22: very long time. They have had attempts of uprisings and 1058 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 22: of course there's been massive crackdowns because the regime, or 1059 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 22: as the Iranians will call them, the Islamic occupation regime, 1060 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 22: don't really care. They would just kill everybody. But this 1061 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 22: time round the regime is extremely weak. The trigger point 1062 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 22: was when the currency in Iran collapsed, and that was 1063 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,960 Speaker 22: over two weeks ago, almost three weeks ago. And of 1064 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 22: course there is no there's the lack of water, lack 1065 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 22: of electricity, and lack of money, lack of jobs, and 1066 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 22: lack of recognition on the international stage, and people said 1067 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:11,479 Speaker 22: enough is enough? 1068 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 3: This time round, it wasn't just anger. 1069 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 22: They are very, very motivated and they know they've got 1070 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 22: nothing else to lose. Usually in the past, when you 1071 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 22: kill a few hundred people, people would go home, they 1072 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 22: get scared. But after thousands who've been massacred, people continue 1073 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 22: to stay out because they also finally have a unifying 1074 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,920 Speaker 22: leader in the crown. Prince Vasadapalavi and President Trump until 1075 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,239 Speaker 22: now has had their backs, which has really helped the 1076 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 22: people on the ground. But they definitely need support as 1077 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:40,280 Speaker 22: soon as possible. 1078 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 6: So is there an ideological platform that you knowgnites these 1079 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,920 Speaker 6: people other than wanting to overthrow the current government like 1080 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,719 Speaker 6: do we have let's just being are there? Are there 1081 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 6: Islamists who also opposed the government are there? And also 1082 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,520 Speaker 6: are there steps the government could take to try to 1083 00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 6: mollify this short of regime short of total collapse? I 1084 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,240 Speaker 6: guess apparently I learned recently there actually is a council 1085 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 6: of clerics that could, for lack of a better term, 1086 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 6: fire the Ayatola. 1087 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,400 Speaker 1: And you know, here's a new one and something like 1088 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 1: that happened. 1089 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,600 Speaker 22: No, No, so that people keep comparing it to Gorbachev 1090 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,480 Speaker 22: and Soviet Union, It's very, very different because this is 1091 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 22: a culture personality behind one figurehead, and the reality is 1092 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,920 Speaker 22: they basically pretended to do what you just said, like 1093 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 22: performing from within things like that. Over the last few uprisings, 1094 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 22: people know that this is an occupation. 1095 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 3: Since nineteen seventy nine there was a. 1096 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,840 Speaker 22: Paramilitary occupation that basically resulted thanks to Jimmy carter Us 1097 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 22: Democrats MI six, the Fifth Republic in France that basically 1098 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 22: decided let's get behind the iotolers because they were scared 1099 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,919 Speaker 22: that the Soviet Union in the middle of Cold War 1100 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 22: are going to take over Iran in the seventies, so 1101 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 22: they thought left back these guys. They seem to be 1102 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 22: stupid enough that they can be controlled as puppets. 1103 00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 3: That back far because the next day. 1104 00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 22: There is limists went on and the chanted death to America. 1105 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 22: Right now, your question about what you know in terms 1106 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 22: of power, vacuum or who is involved and Iran is 1107 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 22: very different to countries like Libya or Iraq or Syria. 1108 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 22: There are no extremist groups in that sense, there is 1109 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 22: no vacuum because people finally are united behind one concept, 1110 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 22: even if not necessarily the crown prince, which is true, 1111 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 22: they are all united behind the original flag of Iran, the. 1112 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 3: History, the heritage. 1113 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 22: They simply want their country back. It's more similar to 1114 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 22: the situation in Poland. After the National Socialists in Germany 1115 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 22: got kicked out, and then again after the Communists from 1116 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 22: Soviet Union got kicked out, Poland said, we just got 1117 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 22: our country back. That's basically their fight. It's not necessarily 1118 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 22: like Iraq or Syria. There are no really extremeist groups. 1119 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 22: There is a tiny group called Mujahideen m K and 1120 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,160 Speaker 22: there are about thirteen of them. They're smaller than the 1121 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 22: Green Party. Nobody cares about them, but that's the maining goal. 1122 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 1: That you know. 1123 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 22: People don't really care about those guys. They are basically 1124 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 22: a Marxist Islamic group. 1125 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 3: They used to be with the. 1126 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 22: ILG seeing the seventies against the king, but then they split. 1127 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 22: They basically had a fight, and now they also want 1128 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 22: to bring down the regime because I want to have 1129 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,000 Speaker 22: a different version of communist Islamic republic. 1130 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 3: That is the biggest problem. 1131 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 6: Well, what about another concern I know we've seen is 1132 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 6: America's repeatedly had some involvement in the Middle East, where 1133 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 6: Utapola government and then our own government is surprised to learn. 1134 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,880 Speaker 6: Oh wait, there's a lot of ethnic grievances in this society. 1135 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 6: This happened in Iraq Notoriously. President in Bush apparently didn't 1136 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 6: quite get the Sunni Shia split before we actually intervened. 1137 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: We've seen it. 1138 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 6: Of course in Syria. Lebanon is basically defined by those splits. 1139 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,360 Speaker 6: I know in Iran there's a series as well as 1140 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 6: historical Iranians, there's other smaller groups. Is there any risk 1141 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 6: of a crack up along those lines if there's a 1142 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,919 Speaker 6: power vacuum so. 1143 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 3: That this wasn't worry a couple of decades ago. 1144 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 22: In fact, under the Islamic Republic, these different ethnic groups 1145 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,520 Speaker 22: and regional groups were essentially being divided. But over the 1146 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 22: last few years, the movement against the Islamic Republic is 1147 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 22: actually united them. Now you've got the Persian Iranians, so 1148 01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 22: that's my ethnicity, but you've got the Kurdish Iranians as 1149 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 22: there is, and all the others. Even the Kurds in 1150 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 22: Iran compared to the Curds in turky or other places, 1151 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 22: they are actually calling for a united Iran and they're 1152 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,200 Speaker 22: acording for the Crown prince return. So all these other 1153 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 22: ethnic groups and other religious groups are getting together, so ironically, 1154 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 22: the ioducy have united them. But again, as I mentioned, 1155 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 22: it's very different to the situation in Iraq. But it's 1156 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 22: the liberal mainstream media that are not helping the situation. 1157 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 22: They con continue to spread this propaganda where for example, 1158 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 22: their CNN and many others have been calling it economic 1159 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 22: protests when it's an actual uprising. They're literally calling for 1160 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 22: the overthrow of the regime. But at least they're calling 1161 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,120 Speaker 22: it something, compared to certain other people, the self appointed 1162 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 22: queens of expertise like Candas Owens, who were saying that 1163 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,560 Speaker 22: there are no protests, there is no uprising. It's just 1164 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 22: as sire by the Jews. She literally said that yesterday, 1165 01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,440 Speaker 22: and that is embarrassing. There are millions of people in 1166 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 22: Iran who are currently under occupation. Tens of thousands have 1167 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,480 Speaker 22: been killed, at least thousands have been killed, and apparently 1168 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 22: it's just the Jews. But right now people in Iran 1169 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 22: have called for the support of both the Crown Prince 1170 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 22: as their leader and the President of the United States. 1171 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 3: It's different to ten years ago. 1172 01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 22: If you had told me five years ago, ten years ago, 1173 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 22: would you like the US to get involved. 1174 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 3: I would have said, probably not, because you need the 1175 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 3: consent of the public. 1176 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 22: You need that consensus, and they know they don't really 1177 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,439 Speaker 22: want boots on the ground. They don't want to put 1178 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 22: US soldiers at risk. You simply need to have a strategic, precise, 1179 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 22: targeted attack, similar to when recently. 1180 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 3: They picked up at Madora. 1181 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 6: That's why this is very interesting. So we actually want 1182 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 6: to keep you for another segment. I really want to 1183 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 6: explore that topic about the Shah in his appeal.

All right, Well, go ahead, Blake, Yeah, 1220 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 5: we've got more questions here. We've got a lot more 1221 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 5: of our great guests, a lot more. 1222 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 6: Questions for our guests, And we were talking a lot 1223 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 6: about the shaw going in, uh you saying you were 1224 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 6: saying that there's large there's actually almost unanimous support for 1225 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 6: the shot. But I guess my first question is what 1226 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,080 Speaker 6: does that actually mean? Because my understanding is that Raza 1227 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 6: Palabis basically just said I'm willing to be a constitutional monarch, 1228 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 6: and so then what would that mean. 1229 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 1: Could we get Islamist parties running in the. 1230 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,520 Speaker 6: Election who would then act on his behalf or is 1231 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 6: there a platform that exists other than reinstall this old monarch. 1232 01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 22: That's a very good question, actually, because their propaganda has 1233 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 22: been for decades and especially recently that oh, you can't 1234 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 22: bring back the king because that's absolute monarchy, that's the dictatorship. 1235 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 22: That not really this is the twenty first century. It 1236 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:31,960 Speaker 22: works in Britain, more modern Britain technically a constitutional monarchy 1237 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,000 Speaker 22: and actually having parliamentary democracy, and it's going to work 1238 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 22: in the round because these two countries have had the 1239 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 22: history and the heritage. If I were to create a 1240 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 22: new country from scratch, I would probably create more of 1241 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 22: an American model in. 1242 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,040 Speaker 3: The constitution and everything else. 1243 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 22: Because the Republican in America has the good checks and balances, 1244 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 22: but in those cultures constitution monarchy works. And your question 1245 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 22: is actually very important because what is the limits? Because 1246 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 22: the crown prints his values are liberal democracy and of 1247 01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 22: course freedom and free speech, does there have to be 1248 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 22: a line when it comes to certain groups or ideologies 1249 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 22: being restricted or do you. 1250 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:07,800 Speaker 3: Just allow it to happen. 1251 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 22: So my personal opinion is that it's a very gray 1252 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 22: area because yes, my instinct would say, yeah, probably ban 1253 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 22: the radical communists and ban Islamitist radical Islamists from having 1254 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 22: a party. But then doesn't that create a bigger problem 1255 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 22: in terms of underground movements. But I don't really think 1256 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 22: there's any problem overall in the cultures like Iran, they 1257 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 22: don't really have is Liamitis problems, and they don't really 1258 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 22: have communist problems. They are socialists like any other country. 1259 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 22: And generally speaking the culture obviously around thirty percent of 1260 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:41,840 Speaker 22: Iran or Muslim practicing Muslim, and they're all Shia, they're 1261 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 22: not necessarily it's a South co parties for the connection, 1262 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 22: by the way. 1263 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 3: And so I'm not really afraid of that. 1264 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,440 Speaker 22: But I think if you're going to go with liberal democracy. 1265 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 22: You're just going to have to allow people to have 1266 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 22: the freedom to set up their parties and basically have 1267 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 22: to check some balances to ensure that the monarch prevents 1268 01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:00,920 Speaker 22: anybody from I'm becoming a tyrant. 1269 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,720 Speaker 5: So Mayra Tuscy, founder of twoc TV, thank you again. 1270 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 5: This has been a fascinating discussion. I have a kind 1271 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,720 Speaker 5: of appointed question. I'm just gonna preface at the top. 1272 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 5: So we had Elika lebon on another Iranian perhaps you 1273 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 5: know her, and she stated to us that the protest 1274 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 5: will be successful only with outside intervention. It felt like 1275 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 5: a direct pitch for American intervention. 1276 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 1: I you know, am American. 1277 01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 5: I'm born here, raised here, probably gonna die here, my 1278 01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 5: kids are born here. 1279 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 1: I care about America. 1280 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,720 Speaker 5: Okay, and forgive me if I have not heard this 1281 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 5: story before. And it feels like we perhaps there is 1282 01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,800 Speaker 5: a propaganda or a messaging campaign going on that wants 1283 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,040 Speaker 5: to sort of, you know, lead us down the path 1284 01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 5: of another foreign intervention. Now I've heard you say that 1285 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,600 Speaker 5: this is different, this is not like Libya, this is 1286 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 5: not like a Raq And I actually do believe you, 1287 01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 5: and I actually am convinced of that that around is different. 1288 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 5: I support economic warfare to bring down the regime. 1289 01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 1: I support moral support from Afar. 1290 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,440 Speaker 5: How am I to interpret these signals though, that we 1291 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 5: are perhaps getting dog walked into another foreign conflict in 1292 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 5: the Middle East when we have our own problems here 1293 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 5: at home. And what would your ask of the United 1294 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 5: States be? 1295 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,840 Speaker 22: Yes, well, the Americans should put America first and you 1296 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 22: should not really get dragged into different walls. And as 1297 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 22: I said, I'm not advocating for the US troops too, 1298 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 22: boots on the ground. Iranians are not asking that either. 1299 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,439 Speaker 22: If this is not Iraq in two thousand and three, 1300 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,320 Speaker 22: and under one hand, on a more kind of personal 1301 01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:44,200 Speaker 22: emotional level, I would say, in my own subjective opinion, well, 1302 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,960 Speaker 22: that the US government in seventy nine with Jimmy Carter 1303 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 22: caused this chaos, not necessarily just for the Iranians, for 1304 01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:54,520 Speaker 22: themselves and for the region. You create instability and an enemy. 1305 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 22: It will be nice if you could fix it for 1306 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 22: yourself at least, But you don't have to directly to 1307 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 22: the regime change because the people are ready to finish 1308 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,680 Speaker 22: the job right now. The priorities just stop the killings 1309 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,320 Speaker 22: and paralyze the regime, and the hope is that those 1310 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:12,120 Speaker 22: inside the Iranian military who are saying they are defecting, 1311 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 22: they can defect, and they can continue and finish the revolution. 1312 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 3: That is a priority. 1313 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 22: I'm not asking for President Trump to come in and 1314 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,479 Speaker 22: take over Iran and forced them to change the regime. 1315 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,880 Speaker 22: Simply help the people to finish the job that they 1316 01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,800 Speaker 22: want to do. Because, whether we like it or not, 1317 01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 22: this is the American Empire and the United States is 1318 01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,280 Speaker 22: the world police. Doesn't have to mean that the American soldiers' 1319 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,720 Speaker 22: lives should be at risk every single day. Doesn't mean 1320 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 22: the Americans have to be involved with every war. But 1321 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 22: if America is not keep an eye on the world, 1322 01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,000 Speaker 22: the Chinese will. 1323 01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 6: Well, So one quick question and we're near in the 1324 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,640 Speaker 6: end here, so you can make a quick response. But 1325 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,400 Speaker 6: if you say our goal is to stop the killings, 1326 01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,720 Speaker 6: what would be the military strike America could do that 1327 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 6: would stop the killings? 1328 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 1: Is there a particular place, is there a particular target. 1329 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,639 Speaker 22: Well, the President has been presented with about fifty targets 1330 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,559 Speaker 22: a Barton. I'm not sure exactly what specific targets they have, 1331 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 22: but overall, you obviously have a lot of IRGC basis, 1332 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,760 Speaker 22: You have a lot of government buildings, that you have 1333 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 22: the actual generals and CIA. 1334 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:11,840 Speaker 3: Know where they are. 1335 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 22: The Supreme Leader Ali Kamene is currently in a bunker 1336 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,679 Speaker 22: in east of Iran, in Tabas. So if they go 1337 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,720 Speaker 22: for those things, and or if they could pick up 1338 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 22: Harmony and give them an uber lift like with Medora, 1339 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 22: that would be nice. But because he has to face justice, 1340 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 22: he has to actually stand on trial, just like the 1341 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:36,160 Speaker 22: National Socialist did in Germany. But if you paralyze the 1342 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 22: actual ILGC, we believe that there are people in the military, 1343 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 22: the actual military, the Army of Iran, who are ready 1344 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,559 Speaker 22: to take control until the Crown Prince returns to his 1345 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,439 Speaker 22: country and then they can have a referendum on their 1346 01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 22: future constitution. 1347 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 5: Well fair enough, I mean, you know, listen, the President 1348 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 5: to your appoint has been presented a suite of options, 1349 01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,680 Speaker 5: from the diplomatic options to military options, and listen, we 1350 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 5: stand with the people of Iran. We would love to 1351 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 5: correct the wrong of nineteen seventy nine and have an 1352 01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 5: Iran that we can work with and that was welcome 1353 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,719 Speaker 5: back into the international community. Those things are all We're 1354 01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,439 Speaker 5: completely in agreement. We'll see what happens. I I you know, 1355 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 5: the position of the show is We've learned to trust 1356 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,240 Speaker 5: Trump's instincts on some of these things. 1357 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,720 Speaker 1: So thank you for joining us. Thank you for that 1358 01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:22,639 Speaker 1: analysis is very, very fascinating.

Their absence isn't necessarily a surprise, as 1366 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:59,280 Speaker 15: the former first Couplet Congressman James Comer a letter saying 1367 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,240 Speaker 15: that they weren't coming in pretty much daring Comer and 1368 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,799 Speaker 15: his committee to hold them in contempt. Quote, we expect 1369 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 15: you will direct your committee to seek to hold us 1370 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,840 Speaker 15: in contempt. You will say it's not our decision. 1371 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 4: To make, but we have made it. Now you have 1372 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 4: to make yours. 1373 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,959 Speaker 15: The couple rights Congressional Republicans are blasting both the Clintons 1374 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 15: and Congressional Democrats for this week's failures to appear. 1375 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,400 Speaker 10: They didn't show up today. They're only interested in this 1376 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 10: subject when it doesn't involve victims, and it doesn't involve 1377 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,639 Speaker 10: the political operatives in their party. That's the only time 1378 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 10: they're interested. When it involves the Clintons or victims, obviously 1379 01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:37,719 Speaker 10: they're actually not interested. 1380 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,120 Speaker 15: The former president was scheduled to testify on Tuesday. The 1381 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 15: former Secretary of State scheduled to testify today. 1382 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 4: Committee Chair James. 1383 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,400 Speaker 15: Comer says the Clinton sent a letter again saying that 1384 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:51,520 Speaker 15: they won't be appearing because they believe that Comer subpoenas 1385 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,120 Speaker 15: are quote legally invalid. 1386 01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:56,439 Speaker 4: Happening today, Vice President j D. 1387 01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 15: Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosting the Foreign 1388 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 15: minus ministers of Denmark and Greenland. The meeting comes as 1389 01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 15: the Trump administration is ramping up the rhetoric and efforts 1390 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 15: to take Greenland. All of this is part of a 1391 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 15: strategic national security effort for the United States. Buying Greenland 1392 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 15: could reportedly cost up to seven hundred billion dollars, but 1393 01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 15: officials from both Greenland and Denmark say the Arctic island 1394 01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 15: isn't for sale. Greenland, by the way, is in autonomous 1395 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 15: Danish territory. Denmark just announced that it is increasing its 1396 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 15: military presence in and around Greenland in response to President 1397 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,840 Speaker 15: Trump's threat of taking the island by any means necessary. 1398 01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,280 Speaker 15: The Danish Defense Ministry also says there will be more 1399 01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 15: military exercises in Greenland alongside European and Arctic partners. No 1400 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:49,000 Speaker 15: American involvement was mentioned, though. That's a quick check of 1401 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 15: your headlines.

You are now in 1424 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 5: the Trump administration. But you know, we were joking. I 1425 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,439 Speaker 5: think the best place to start for our audience is 1426 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:18,800 Speaker 5: for you just describe what the Small Business Administration does. 1427 01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:22,760 Speaker 23: Well, you're right, Andrew, As we were talking, a lot 1428 01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:25,599 Speaker 23: of people don't know. The Small Business Administration is essentially 1429 01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,120 Speaker 23: a public private partnership. We're not giving grants out to 1430 01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 23: small businesses. We're providing a government guarantee on commercial loans 1431 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,760 Speaker 23: for your local community banker to have the incentive to 1432 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 23: make that loan to a startup business to help that 1433 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:45,760 Speaker 23: community have flourishing Small businesses have an ecosystem of startups 1434 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 23: and expansion, and that goes into even manufacturing. Most manufacturers 1435 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:54,479 Speaker 23: in America meet the small business threshold. What is the threshold, Well, 1436 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 23: it depends on your industry, but for manufacturing, you can 1437 01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 23: have up to fifteen hundred employees as long as you're 1438 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,439 Speaker 23: not over the net worth level. And that's why ninety 1439 01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:07,519 Speaker 23: eight percent of America's manufacturers qualify as small businesses. 1440 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 8: I just came from a great small. 1441 01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:14,040 Speaker 23: Business manufacturing startup in Tempe, just down the road. And 1442 01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 23: this is the heartbeat of America. And you've got everything 1443 01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,880 Speaker 23: coming bringing to bear there, from the capital the SBA 1444 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:23,560 Speaker 23: provided for this facility, to the skilled workforce. You know, 1445 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:26,559 Speaker 23: I met some of the contractors there in hard hats, 1446 01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,640 Speaker 23: and this is what it's all about. In the Trump administration. 1447 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:31,880 Speaker 23: His economic agenda is going to create more and more 1448 01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 23: of that. It's why we set a record in twenty 1449 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,839 Speaker 23: twenty five of putting out eighty five thousand small business 1450 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:42,519 Speaker 23: loans totaling forty five billion dollars. The economic multiplier effect 1451 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:46,160 Speaker 23: of getting eighty five billion dollars out, you know, is huge. 1452 01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,040 Speaker 1: Well, there's also a trade deficit. There's a lot of 1453 01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 1: news this morning. 1454 01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 5: So the US trade deficit is one of its lowest 1455 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,360 Speaker 5: points in at least recent memory, last couple decades. You 1456 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 5: put up a tweet here at three seventy. The trade 1457 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:00,879 Speaker 5: deficit has reached its lowest level in nearly two decades, 1458 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 5: while our exports hit a record high of three hundred 1459 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,360 Speaker 5: and two billion dollars. So President Trump's fair trade policies 1460 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,400 Speaker 5: restoring America's industrial dominance and straight so obviously we have 1461 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,559 Speaker 5: we have much further to go. Uh but you know, 1462 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 5: and then we've got this tariff question that is looming. 1463 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 5: The Supreme Court is gonna rule on that. I do believe, 1464 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 5: even just we had John Carney on Breitbart Economics editor 1465 01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 5: there saying that even if the Supreme Court rules against this, 1466 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,600 Speaker 5: there's other levels levers that Trump administration could pull to 1467 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 5: still you know, enact tariffs because they are powerful. How 1468 01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,599 Speaker 5: have you seen those play out with small businesses? Because 1469 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,800 Speaker 5: you know, some small business are probably gonna see a 1470 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 5: negative impact, but a lot are going to see a 1471 01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 5: positive impact. 1472 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:44,160 Speaker 8: Absolutely. 1473 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 23: I mean I've crossed this country from Alaska to Maine, 1474 01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:52,720 Speaker 23: walking factory floors, talking to builders, entrepreneurs. Look, when you 1475 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,920 Speaker 23: hear the word tariff, think fair trade, and that's what 1476 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 23: this country has not had. And I am just grateful 1477 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,960 Speaker 23: for President for his courage and his vision to believe 1478 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:07,599 Speaker 23: in American industry to help us reindustrialize. And you look 1479 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,759 Speaker 23: at every part of the Trump economic agenda, from tax 1480 01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 23: cuts to deregulation to generating a skilled workforce and those 1481 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 23: incentives to get back in the workforce, and you see 1482 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 23: the building of this boom on top of the eighteen 1483 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,800 Speaker 23: trillion dollars coming in. So, look, tariffs are just one 1484 01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 23: piece of it, but they're an important piece that we 1485 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,439 Speaker 23: haven't had. And everyone forgets that Biden had a Rose 1486 01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 23: Garden ceremony adding tariffs to China during his term that 1487 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 23: the Democrats never put to. 1488 01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:38,600 Speaker 5: It felt like this crazy scenario where America was just 1489 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:42,240 Speaker 5: willing to get fleeced in countless ways because we were 1490 01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 5: we had like almost like this guilt about being the richest, 1491 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,720 Speaker 5: most powerful nation, so we didn't feel that we had 1492 01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 5: the moral standing to exert our force to benefit our 1493 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,640 Speaker 5: own people. So we just let everybody else have, you know, 1494 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,639 Speaker 5: trade barriers to us. We let everybody else builk off 1495 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:01,520 Speaker 5: the American military, and President Trump is rebalancing those relationships. 1496 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,160 Speaker 5: I've been completely in favor of President Trump's tariff agenda 1497 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 5: from the start. 1498 01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:07,759 Speaker 1: I think Blake, You've had some questions. 1499 01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,800 Speaker 5: This is typically the yin and yang that we play 1500 01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 5: here on the show. 1501 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 1: Blake's the contrarian. I'm sort of like more on board 1502 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 1: with a little I'm narrative. 1503 01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,519 Speaker 5: I am now okay, okay, all right, now we're gonna 1504 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,800 Speaker 5: get in a debate here in front of Kelly, and 1505 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 5: I don't want to do. 1506 01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:23,640 Speaker 17: That to it. 1507 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,080 Speaker 1: But here's the thing though, I do agree with that. 1508 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 5: But then, so SBA, is this this engine sort of 1509 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,439 Speaker 5: behind the scenes providing capital d you know, taking some 1510 01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,400 Speaker 5: of the risk out of these capital arrangements with riskier 1511 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,680 Speaker 5: small business startups. But then there's this other side of 1512 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 5: it that you've inherited, where there is fraud that you 1513 01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,400 Speaker 5: are uncovering. Now we're talking about Somali fraud. We're talking 1514 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,000 Speaker 5: about foreigners coming in again, builking off the system. 1515 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 1: What have you uncovered? What are you investigating right now? 1516 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 8: Well, that's right. 1517 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 23: I mean from day one, we came in and I 1518 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,040 Speaker 23: said I will have a zero tolerance policy on fraud. 1519 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,320 Speaker 23: We convened a task force right away. I called for 1520 01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,120 Speaker 23: an audit of the agency. The agency hadn't passed an 1521 01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,639 Speaker 23: audit in four years. And President Trump likes to say, 1522 01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 23: here's the biggest bank in the country. Well, guess what, 1523 01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,120 Speaker 23: the biggest bank in the country is going to finally 1524 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,800 Speaker 23: have an audit. Where we're accountable for the shortcomings. That 1525 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 23: includes investigating fraud. 1526 01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,400 Speaker 5: We just had a number on this yeh headline right here, 1527 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,360 Speaker 5: SBA investigating one point two trillion. That is with a 1528 01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 5: T we've seen a lot of bees floating around with 1529 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,639 Speaker 5: Somali fraud, nine nineteen billion, whatever the number. 1530 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 6: Then to give a number on suspected frauds, specifically their 1531 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 6: internal watch in twenty twenty three, so this is Biden era, 1532 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,479 Speaker 6: they said about estimated a two hundred billion dollars in 1533 01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 6: potential fraud with the PPP loans, although that all run 1534 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:40,679 Speaker 6: through SBA. 1535 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 23: That it was, that's the one point two trillion that 1536 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:47,080 Speaker 23: ran through SBA during COVID. Well, our own OIG said 1537 01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 23: that about two hundred billion was marked as fraudulent. And 1538 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 23: guess what the Biden administration did. They started forgiving it, 1539 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,080 Speaker 23: sweeping it under the rug exactly right, Blake. And so 1540 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,360 Speaker 23: we came in and said we're going back, we're looking 1541 01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,559 Speaker 23: at it all. And that's what we when it came 1542 01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,679 Speaker 23: to Minnesota. As soon as that came on the radar, 1543 01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 23: I asked the team to dig through the Minnesota loans. 1544 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:09,920 Speaker 23: They immediately found about seven thousand borrowers four hundred million 1545 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:13,760 Speaker 23: in fraudulent loans in Minnesota alone. That tells you that 1546 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 23: there are billions and billions out the door fraudulently to 1547 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,000 Speaker 23: thousands that should never touch SBA services again, and they 1548 01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:22,720 Speaker 23: need to be referred to the DOJ. And that's what 1549 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 23: we're doing. 1550 01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,720 Speaker 5: Are these mostly Somalie networks or is it kind of 1551 01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:26,920 Speaker 5: across the board. 1552 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:31,520 Speaker 23: Or it's widespread. We're investigating further to see how systemic 1553 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 23: it is because the level of fraud is almost organized, 1554 01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 23: and I've called it organized crime in some cases, and 1555 01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,680 Speaker 23: we need to look across all government programs and see 1556 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:44,960 Speaker 23: where people are systemically defrauding the government. 1557 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 6: A thing that stands out about this, which is if 1558 01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,360 Speaker 6: you or I were to say, okay, I want to 1559 01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,800 Speaker 6: scam medicaid and you just went to twenty people we 1560 01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 6: know and said, hey, I have an idea to scam medicaid, 1561 01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:56,880 Speaker 6: one a lot I think would say no. 1562 01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,240 Speaker 1: I think they'd all say no, and some of them 1563 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,559 Speaker 1: might say I'm going to call the police. 1564 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,280 Speaker 6: I think this is a credit Well, and what you 1565 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 6: have some communities that we've voluntarily brought into our country 1566 01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 6: where that's just not the natural reaction where they'll either 1567 01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,760 Speaker 6: say nothing or a lot of them will help you. 1568 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,280 Speaker 5: Well because they don't feel culturally tied or their heritage 1569 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,919 Speaker 5: is not tied to the proud culture. 1570 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:20,960 Speaker 1: It's wrong to scam your cousin or your brother, but 1571 01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 1: not to scam the government. 1572 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,720 Speaker 5: And to your point, I totally agree that it is 1573 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 5: organized because you know, we think of organized crime as 1574 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,680 Speaker 5: the Italian mafia, but so often it's these these immigrant 1575 01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:34,080 Speaker 5: cabal Well, yes, exactly, but but that's you know, those 1576 01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,560 Speaker 5: are the movies, and you know it's been it's been sensationalized, 1577 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:39,720 Speaker 5: but so often it's just more subtle than that. It's 1578 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,160 Speaker 5: it's a cousin calling a cousin saying here, listen, I've 1579 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 5: figured out this way. You should go set up your own, 1580 01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,960 Speaker 5: you know, childcare center over here. You should do this, 1581 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 5: or listen, we we found a way to smuggle all 1582 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,799 Speaker 5: this money back to Somalia. It's more subtle, it's less dramatic, 1583 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 5: less you know, movie Hollywood, but it's massively insidious and widespread. 1584 01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:00,200 Speaker 23: Well, especially when there's no oversight. And so we're going 1585 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 23: to go state by state and look for those states 1586 01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:08,000 Speaker 23: like Minnesota that really as their largest expenditure is welfare 1587 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,920 Speaker 23: and in the federal government. I'm talking that's at the 1588 01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,320 Speaker 23: state level. In the federal government, we operate about a 1589 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:18,160 Speaker 23: trillion dollars worth of welfare programs across eighty unique systems, 1590 01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,280 Speaker 23: and so we really need to have a hard look 1591 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 23: at that. And that's what's great about the Working Families 1592 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 23: tax cut that was passed this year. There's a lot 1593 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,559 Speaker 23: of verification that's now required, there's work requirements. We're going 1594 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 23: to start cracking down on this very systemically ourselves, because 1595 01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 23: we can't trust the states to do it, particularly those 1596 01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 23: like California, Illinois, Minnesota and others who've shown a willful 1597 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:41,599 Speaker 23: disdain for taxpayer dollars. And by the way, small businesses 1598 01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 23: are some of the biggest taxpayers. And so that's part 1599 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,280 Speaker 23: of my advocacy is to say, I'm going to make 1600 01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 23: sure these programs are going to deserving job creators on 1601 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:49,679 Speaker 23: main street. 1602 01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's like you know them when you see them, absolutely, 1603 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,040 Speaker 5: you know the real deal companies that should be getting 1604 01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 5: the back into SBA. And here's President Trump just having 1605 01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,400 Speaker 5: your back here has cut three thirty teen. He's suspending 1606 01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 5: SBA loans. It sounds like it specifically with scammers in 1607 01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 5: Minnesota three thirteen. 1608 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 2: We have also suspended nearly eight thousand SBA loans small 1609 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 2: Business Association loans to suspected scammers in Minnesota, of which 1610 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:20,479 Speaker 2: there are many. It's a great state. It was a 1611 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:24,799 Speaker 2: great state. Now it's getting destroyed by the stupid governor. 1612 01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,200 Speaker 2: What a stupid guy he is. But he's a crook. 1613 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,719 Speaker 2: I mean, he's an incompetent guy, but he's a crook. 1614 01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:32,880 Speaker 1: He allowed us to go. You can't have. 1615 01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:35,240 Speaker 4: You can't have. 1616 01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 2: Corruption under scale that nobody's ever seen before and you're 1617 01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:39,479 Speaker 2: sitting as a governor and you don't know. 1618 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 3: What's going on. 1619 01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,200 Speaker 2: It's impossible.

This has given us 1660 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,000 Speaker 23: a playbook, really a blueprint of how we go state 1661 01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:39,800 Speaker 23: by state now and how we handle this. 1662 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 8: This needs to become. 1663 01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,320 Speaker 23: An expertise of the government is tracking down fraud. 1664 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,360 Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to be saying prayers for you when 1665 01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 5: you start cracking the books on California, New York. So 1666 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,800 Speaker 5: more with Kelly Leffler when we return, we'll be right back, 1667 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,360 Speaker 5: all right, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show, final 1668 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,839 Speaker 5: segment of the day. We are joined by Kelly Lefler. 1669 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 5: She's the administrator of the Small Business Administration, which is the. 1670 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:18,439 Speaker 1: Biggest bank in the country. 1671 01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 5: People don't realize just how much power the SBA wields 1672 01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,479 Speaker 5: to help the economy and now you're rooting out fraud. 1673 01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,360 Speaker 5: Blake has a really good question though, about a certain 1674 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:29,320 Speaker 5: variety of loans. 1675 01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 1: And other Yeah, another part of your portfolio. 1676 01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:35,320 Speaker 6: So there is it's not super famous, but it's called 1677 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:41,680 Speaker 6: eight A certification. It needs basically being certified as a 1678 01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:46,880 Speaker 6: disadvantaged firm as someone say minority owned, but can also 1679 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,719 Speaker 6: be women owned or certain other groupings, and it makes 1680 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 6: you eligible for favorable federal treatment. And it's getting noticed 1681 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,080 Speaker 6: by a lot of people, especially online. This is a 1682 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:58,960 Speaker 6: vector the federal government has used for let's just call 1683 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,360 Speaker 6: it DEI or as we say on the show, anti 1684 01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,880 Speaker 6: anti white discrimination, anti white male discrimination. And my understanding 1685 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 6: is this does still exist within the SBA, So could 1686 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,320 Speaker 6: you talk to us a bit about that. 1687 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 23: Like you're right now, let's just level set on what 1688 01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:14,720 Speaker 23: small businesses. It makes up ninety nine percent of all 1689 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 23: businesses in this country, and under President Trump we have 1690 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:18,679 Speaker 23: a record thirty six million. 1691 01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 8: There's a group. 1692 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:24,719 Speaker 23: Of small businesses that are under statute entitled to about 1693 01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:30,360 Speaker 23: five percent statutorily of federal contracting, so small businesses that 1694 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:33,760 Speaker 23: are socially and economically disadvantaged. Well, under Biden that they 1695 01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:37,800 Speaker 23: tripled that target to fifteen percent, and it created a 1696 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 23: big vacuum for veteran owned businesses to get federal contracts. Well, 1697 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 23: what we found in that was it was a front 1698 01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:46,960 Speaker 23: for shell and pass through companies to put someone in 1699 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,439 Speaker 23: front of the business and say that they were a 1700 01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:52,920 Speaker 23: small business, that they were socially and economically, they self 1701 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:56,000 Speaker 23: certified that they were disadvantaged, and then they were able 1702 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 23: to get these huge contracts. Now, when Kamala were searching 1703 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:04,240 Speaker 23: out root cost, she put a immigration illegal immigration. She 1704 01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 23: put a seven hundred million dollar contract out and it 1705 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:11,680 Speaker 23: ended up coming through bribery. The DOJ's investigating it through 1706 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:13,920 Speaker 23: an eight day program. Now that's not a small business. 1707 01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:15,879 Speaker 23: It does a seven hundred million dollar contract. 1708 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:17,519 Speaker 1: And there's other ones. I remember. 1709 01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 6: I think when that hurricane hit Puerto Rico a decade ago, 1710 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,480 Speaker 6: there was an issue where they hired. 1711 01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:22,679 Speaker 1: Like a one. 1712 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:24,439 Speaker 6: It was a I think a black woman owned a 1713 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,479 Speaker 6: company to supply like fifty thousand meals to the island 1714 01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:28,479 Speaker 6: and that was a disaster. 1715 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:29,479 Speaker 1: It never had I have. 1716 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:33,479 Speaker 6: I've personally had friends who have set up a business 1717 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:36,680 Speaker 6: to get a government contract where they just cut in 1718 01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,240 Speaker 6: a guy who was part Native American or something and 1719 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,640 Speaker 6: said you get fifty one percent of it, we'll do 1720 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:43,719 Speaker 6: the work, we get our cut, you get your cut. 1721 01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:45,640 Speaker 1: It just seems to clearly incentivize that. 1722 01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,760 Speaker 6: And so I guess, as you say, Congress requires this 1723 01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 6: to exist. 1724 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,160 Speaker 8: But they don't require it to be rife with abuse. 1725 01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:56,000 Speaker 23: It has never been audited in its forty five year history. 1726 01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:59,120 Speaker 23: It came in under Carter. We are conducting the first 1727 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:01,120 Speaker 23: audit in forty five five years, and we've what we've 1728 01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:04,839 Speaker 23: already found is a lot of malfeasance, a lot of fraud. 1729 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:06,120 Speaker 8: We're going to get to the bottom of it. 1730 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 23: We're going to clean up the program and make sure 1731 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,680 Speaker 23: deserving entrepreneurs get these opportunities. 1732 01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:15,479 Speaker 5: So this brings up this It's been percolating, bubbling up 1733 01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:18,040 Speaker 5: a little bit because of all this fraud. And this 1734 01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:21,000 Speaker 5: is a reintroduction of this conversation about Doge. 1735 01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:22,639 Speaker 1: I thought Doge was amazing. 1736 01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:26,559 Speaker 5: Charlie always loved Doge because it changed the culture and 1737 01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 5: the focus in DC to actually start rooting some of. 1738 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:29,880 Speaker 1: The stuff out. 1739 01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:31,960 Speaker 5: But then you have this falling out between Elon Musk 1740 01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,280 Speaker 5: even Elon and Scott Bessett, and it got all messy. 1741 01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,559 Speaker 5: We acknowledged that, but there is a coming back together. 1742 01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:41,639 Speaker 5: I mean, Pete Hegsetch just announced a partnership with GROC 1743 01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:45,519 Speaker 5: and XAI. What could so what what is going on 1744 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:49,120 Speaker 5: with DOGE? How would you guys SBA use it? How 1745 01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:51,360 Speaker 5: did you use it? And can we can we reignite 1746 01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,280 Speaker 5: this culture to root out some of this fraud. 1747 01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:59,360 Speaker 23: Yeah, Doge was incredibly important in kicking off what is 1748 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 23: accountability and government. It helped us facilitate a lot of 1749 01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:06,439 Speaker 23: the changes that we made very very quickly. And the 1750 01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:10,879 Speaker 23: mindset remains in this administration, which is right sizing the government. 1751 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,720 Speaker 23: We've cut our agency by fifty two percent in terms 1752 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,880 Speaker 23: of headcount, thirty percent by spending in just the first year, 1753 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 23: and we've done more business than ever. That is a 1754 01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,880 Speaker 23: Doge mindset and that's what we have to continue to have. 1755 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:24,120 Speaker 1: I hope that that it. 1756 01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,960 Speaker 23: Will stay within every agency in terms of what they 1757 01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:29,599 Speaker 23: look at is data. We simply go through and look 1758 01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:31,720 Speaker 23: at the data and accountability, who's doing what and what 1759 01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:32,400 Speaker 23: are the results? 1760 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:34,880 Speaker 1: And now is Palenteer involved in this? 1761 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:37,400 Speaker 5: Well, I know there's been a lot of like there's 1762 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,680 Speaker 5: a lot of weird life paracies around Palenteer.

We're like a small business. 1781 01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 23: We're very efficient to have the economic impact that we do. 1782 01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,320 Speaker 23: We estimate it's about a trillion dollars annually when you 1783 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,880 Speaker 23: take a leverage impact of putting out one hundred billion 1784 01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 23: a year, I should say a trillion dollars over the 1785 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,519 Speaker 23: four year term of President Trump. And it's meaningful on 1786 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,479 Speaker 23: main Street because small businesses create two out of every 1787 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:40,520 Speaker 23: three new jobs. 1788 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:41,200 Speaker 1: Wow. 1789 01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:44,559 Speaker 5: I mean, I'll just be honest.
