1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: US. Maduro is back at the Metropolitan Detention Center in

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Brooklyn after a dramatic appearance in federal court. When asked

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: to confirm his identity by the judge quote, are you

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro Moros, Maduro responded in Spanish, I am Nicholas

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: Maduro Moros, President of Venezuela. I am here because I

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: have been kidnapped since Saturday. I was captured at my

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: home in Caracas, at which point the judge interrupted, saying

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: there will be time to address this through motions. This

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: is not typical for these sorts of arrangements. Then asking

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: for his plea, Maduro responded, I am a decent man,

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: I am innocent. I am not guilty. Then, as the

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: hearing wrapped, when Maduro stood up to exit the courtroom,

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: a man behind him provoked him in Spanish, saying you

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: will pay. Maduro turned around and responded back in Spanish,

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: telling him I am a man of God. I am

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: a prisoner of war. It has not even been seventy

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: two hours since Madul and his wife were taken from

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: their home and their pajamas seconds before trying to lock

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: themselves into a steel safe room taken from a palace

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: with all the comforts of an authoritarian to a notorious

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: jail infamous for what federal judges have called barbaric conditions,

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: allegations of freezing temperatures, brown water, cockroaches on the food,

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: mold in the shower, and medical conditions that go untreated conditions.

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Victims of Maduro's regime will have no sympathy toward as

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: those who fled Venezuela and those who remain celebrate his downfall.

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: But what exactly happens to Venezuela now? Maduro is gone, Yes,

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: but his regime is still very much in place, and

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: it's still sounding a lot like the guy who was

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: just arraigned saying Maduro is innocent and he's still the president.

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: All right, ready, well wait a minute there.

31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: That's better.

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: But I cannot abide the actions of the political leadership

33
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: in Washington. These opportunists are willing to hurt our people

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: to score cheap points. They and their allies have no

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: intention of helping us solve this problem and every intention

36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: of trying to profit off of it, which brings me

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: to this. Twenty twenty six is an election year. Election

38
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: years have a way of ramping up the politics at

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: a time when we simply can't afford more of that Minnesota.

40
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: In September, I announced that I would seek a historic

41
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: third term as Minnesota's governor, and I have every confidence

42
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 4: that if I gave it my all, we would win

43
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: the race. But as I reflect on this moment with

44
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 4: my family and my team over the holidays, I came

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: to the conclusion that I can't give a political campaign

46
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: my all. Every minute that I spend defending my own

47
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: political interest would be a mis it. I can't spend

48
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who pray

49
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: on our generosity and the cynics who want to prey

50
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: on our differences. So I've decided to step out of

51
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: this race, and I'll let others worry about the election

52
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: while I focus on the work that's in front of

53
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 4: me for the next year. I'm passing on this race

54
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: with zero sadness and zero regret. I did not run

55
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: for this job to have the job. I ran for

56
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: the job to do the job. Minnesota faces enormous challenges

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: this year, and I refuse to spend a single minute

58
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,279
Speaker 4: doing anything other than rising to meet this moment. Minnesota

59
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: has always come first and always will. That's what I

60
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: believe servant leadership demands of me. As an optimist, I'll

61
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: hold out some hope that my friends on the other

62
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: side of the aisle will consider what servant leadership demands

63
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 4: of them. In the moment, we can work together to

64
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: combat against the criminals. We can work together to rebuild

65
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: the public's trust and make our states stronger. But make

66
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: no stake about it. If Republicans continue down the path

67
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: of abusing power, smearing entire communities, and running their own

68
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: fraudulent game at the expense of Minnesotan's I will fight

69
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: back with everything that I have. I am absolutely confident

70
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: a democratic and a dfl or will hold this seat

71
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: come November. I'm confident that I'll find ways to contribute

72
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: to the state that I love long after next January.

73
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 4: But there'll be time to worry about all that later.

74
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 5: It is over.

75
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 6: It's just a matter of time, and Donald Trump will

76
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 6: have done something that saluted America since the fifties, deal

77
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 6: with a communist dictatorship nine miles off the coast of Florida.

78
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 6: I can't wait till the day comes to our Cuban

79
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 6: friends in Florida and throughout America. The liberation of your

80
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 6: homeland is close.

81
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 7: Nicholas Maduro walking haltingly, slowly, very deliberately, trying to scan

82
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 7: the crowd. We know now based on sources telling mus

83
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 7: that he sustained some injuries during the operation that led

84
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 7: to his being in domestic law enforcements custody. The same

85
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 7: is true according to her lawyers of his wife, Cindia

86
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 7: Flores des Maduro, whose lawyers said that she sustained not

87
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 7: only bruising on her forehead, which was visible to everybody

88
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 7: in the courtroom, but that she may have also sustained

89
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 7: a fracture.

90
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 8: To her ribs.

91
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 7: Of course, both of them entering pleas of not guilty,

92
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 7: and as you noted, saying very firmly in Spanish that

93
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 7: they are not guilty. But in many other respects this

94
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 7: was far from ordinary, and obviously the least ordinary moment

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 7: was that confrontation that you mentioned between a Venezuelan man

96
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 7: who was there as a spectator and Nicholas Maduro. Our

97
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 7: producer Quegerero and I had an opportunity to interview Pedro Rojas.

98
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 7: He is a Venezuelan national who is now applying for

99
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 7: political asylum. He is a member of a political opposition

100
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 7: party in Venezuela called Primedo Causticia or Justice First, and

101
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 7: served four months in a Venezuelans for his political activities.

102
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 7: He told us that it was incredibly important to him

103
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 7: to come here today and confront Nicholas Maduro to say

104
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: to him, as you noted, you will pay, because he

105
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 7: felt that it was incredibly important not just that Nicholas

106
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 7: Maduro was held to account by the US justice system,

107
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 7: but that someone from his own country, a country that,

108
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 7: according to Pedro, he has victimized and burglarized, was able

109
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 7: to look him in the eye and tell him you

110
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 7: are illegitimate, you are a burglar, you are a criminal.

111
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 7: And of course Maduro definally looking at him back and saying,

112
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 7: so nobres devius, I'm a man of God, So in

113
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 7: Prisionero de la Gera, I'm a prisoner of war, before

114
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 7: Pedro was ejected from the courtroom. Incredibly powerful discussion with

115
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 7: Pedro about what led him to come here today from Atlanta,

116
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 7: where he operates a mechanics business basically doing mechanics work

117
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 7: on cars, woke up at four in the morning and

118
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 7: took a flight here for the specific purpose of having

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 7: that historic confrontation with Maduro, the likes of which I've

120
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 7: never seen in a courtroom. And just to illustrate for

121
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 7: you and our viewers how out of the ordinary it is,

122
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 7: I have attended a trial in this very courtroom, in fact,

123
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 7: one of the Egan Carroll trials, where the President's advisor,

124
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 7: Stephen Chunk, was kicked out of the courtroom because his

125
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 7: phone rang. Now contrasts that with somebody standing up in

126
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 7: the middle of the courtroom and wanting to have words

127
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 7: with a defendant. It was silent in the courtroom, and

128
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 7: people were watching as if it were a tennis match,

129
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 7: you know, heads going back and forth and back and

130
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 7: forth to see the interplay between mister Maduro and mister Rojas.

131
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 6: They've chosen not to live this way anymore, and unlike Obama,

132
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 6: President Trump has not turned his back on the people

133
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 6: of Iran. So I pray and hope that twenty twenty

134
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 6: six will be the year that we make a run

135
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 6: great again democratic vote, because they wouldn't vote for these things.

136
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: Round two.

137
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: What I want.

138
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 6: I want to go after welfare fraud. I want to

139
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 6: rewrite the way the programs work.

140
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: I want to make.

141
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 6: Sure that every state before they get a dollar for

142
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 6: food stamps or any form of welfare, that they send

143
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 6: biometrics to the federal government proving that the person exists

144
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: and they're eligible for the services in question. I want

145
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 6: to go after the fraud that's so rampant in Minnesota

146
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 6: and throughout these blue states through reconciliation. And second, I

147
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 6: want to do an affordability package, making America more affordable

148
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 6: to the hard working men and women of this country

149
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 6: through reconciliation.

150
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: Stay tuned, it is coming.

151
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 9: You're here for the first time today. It is my

152
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 9: plan to convert, so I still have time, but my

153
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 9: understanding is you're never too late. And on top of that,

154
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 9: any this is in my have about reality would certainly

155
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 9: be instantly answered if I wake up and happened. I

156
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 9: do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that I

157
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 9: would wake up and happen if I have a good life.

158
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.

159
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 9: Necessarily have to state something in advance, and so to

160
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 9: my Christian friends, yes, it's coming, so you don't need

161
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 9: to talk me into it. I am now convinced that

162
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 9: the risk reward is completely smart. If it turns out

163
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 9: that there's nothing there, I've lost nothing but I've respected

164
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 9: your wishes and I like doing that. If it turns

165
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 9: out there is something there and the Christian model is

166
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 9: the closest to it, I win. So with your permission,

167
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 9: I promise you that I will.

168
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: I will convert. This is the primal scream of a

169
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 3: dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going to

170
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: medieval on these people. He's not got a free shot.

171
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 3: All these networks lying about the people, the people have

172
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: had a belly full of it. I know you don't

173
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything

174
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: in the world to stop that, but you're not going

175
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: to stop it. It's going to happen.

176
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 10: And where do people like that go to share the

177
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 10: big line?

178
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: Mega media?

179
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 6: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

180
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 6: these people had a conscience.

181
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

182
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 11: If that answer is to save my country, this country.

183
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: Will be saved. Or here's your host, Stephen k.

184
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: Ban Monday five January, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. Actually,

185
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 3: I guess technically the real first workday back from the

186
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: Christmas holiday of twenty twenty five in New Year's holiday

187
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty six, think your bravery join us in

188
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: the late afternoon early evening edition of The Worm. A

189
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: lot to go through, all signaled no noise today. At

190
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: the end, right there was Scott Adams, the cartoonist, social commentator.

191
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 3: You know, maga philosopher. I think you could say, Dave

192
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: Bratt joins us. I've got Glenn's story, Neil McCabe, Joe Allen,

193
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: much more going on. We got a lot of people

194
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: to get through, a lot of stories to talk about

195
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: in analyze in the next two hours. First off, Scott

196
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: for those that don't know it, Dave brad Scott Adams.

197
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: I guess it's terminal cancer. But his thinking or people

198
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 3: around him, is that he only has a couple of

199
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: weeks to live. Of course, he has been discussing and

200
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: right there discussing his conversion to Christianity. Your thoughts are, yeah.

201
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 8: Well, our prayers go out to him. We certainly pray

202
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 8: God's grace goes before him with him. For the people listening,

203
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 8: the Christian message isn't if I lived a good life.

204
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: I'm okay.

205
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 8: It's kind of the opposite of that. He sounded a

206
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 8: little too rational about it. I don't want to give

207
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 8: him a hard time, but I just want to make

208
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 8: sure we got it straight. The whole Jesus said, why

209
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 8: do you call me good?

210
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: No one is good.

211
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 8: Except your Father in heaven. So the whole point and

212
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 8: the crook on the cross next to Jesus made it

213
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 8: most clear how you get to heaven. And we know

214
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 8: the evidence is because today Jesus said, today you're gonna

215
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 8: be with me, and that crook on the cross said,

216
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 8: I'm scum. I'm nothing to the other crook, and he said,

217
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 8: this guy's the son of God. That's how you get

218
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 8: into heaven.

219
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: Your heart is up before God.

220
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 8: God sees your heart, and your heart is good in

221
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 8: the eyes of God. We don't decide, right God, God

222
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 8: knows the heart. But when you proclaim with your lips, hey,

223
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 8: this is the son of God. And I don't deserve

224
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 8: nothing that gets you into heaven.

225
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting in the New Testament that is

226
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: probably the two most profound witnesses that the criminal on

227
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: the cross at the very moment or close to the

228
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 3: moment when Christ died professing his faith, and then the

229
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: Roman centurium that didn't need you don't need to come

230
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: anywhere to say the word and he will be healed.

231
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: And what did Christ say in all of Judea he

232
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: had not seen faith such as that? Pretty amazing. Okay,

233
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: there's a lot going on. We've got a lot of logistics.

234
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 3: There's things happening in March. January sixth, there's a briefing

235
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: about to happen on Capitol Hill. A West Point grad

236
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: now in a Democratic Congress I think his name is

237
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: Dan Ryan has accused Marco Ruby of the Secretary of

238
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: State of perjury and lying to Congress already for I

239
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: guess previous briefing seas given on Venezuela. Dave Brad's going

240

297
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,920

313
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 12: the Real Americans Voice, you name it. There's about twenty

314
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 12: two different groups that said, hey, we want to know

315
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 12: about it. They've shared it with all of their constituency,

316
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 12: and it sold out. We've expanded the room three times

317
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 12: and now we've maxed out. It's just incredible.

318
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 3: The twenty two groups. What would bring twenty two disparate

319
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: groups together so quickly because this is really over the

320
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: holiday that happened just a couple of days before Christmas.

321
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: What is the power of what's happening to bring twenty

322
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: two disparate groups together so quickly? You know, it's pretty simple.

323
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 12: Folks love their country, they love their creator, and they

324
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 12: want to we all know that this country was founded

325
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 12: on biblical principles, right, and that we're all fighting for

326
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 12: our God given right and freedoms. And the real interesting

327
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 12: piece is when you tell them this is what's really

328
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 12: going on, people want to learn because they see what

329
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 12: happened in New York City, they see what really what

330
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 12: happened in Europe. I mean, Europe has been basically invaded

331
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 12: and taken over. And what we want to do is, look,

332
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 12: we believe in the freedom of religion, but we do

333
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 12: not believe in the institution of sharia law in this country.

334
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 12: You know, our our our founding documents really talk about this,

335
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 12: really about how this was founded on the Christianity.

336
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: Talk to me about where do people go. I want

337
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: to thank Patriot Mobile for putting sustining else and putting

338
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: this together. It's sold out, It's going to be absolutely packed.

339
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: We got Gert Fielder's coming in from the Netherlands. Gert

340
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: for the last twenty years has really, up until about

341
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: the last five or ten years, been a voice in

342
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 3: the wilderness warning against this the Islamization of Europe. And

343
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: you're seeing it, whether it's in Paris, whether it's in London,

344
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: whether it's in Brussels. Today, I think Austria announced that

345
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: forty percent of birth in their country are coming from

346
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 3: people that did not hold Austrian passports. They're being absolutely overwhelmed.

347
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 3: We cannot and we will not allow this to happen

348
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: in the United States of America, and certainly we're not

349
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: going to allow it to happen in the Great State

350
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: of Texas. Texas is the jewel of the crown of

351
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: the Union and it can't happen. And that's what they've targeted.

352
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: This is to be very specific. We understand exactly what

353
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: they are doing, we understand exactly how they're going to

354
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 3: do it, We understand their their their playbook. Governor Abbott

355
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 3: was courageous enough to identify and call out the Muslim

356
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: Brotherhood and care as terrorist organizations, and already he thinks,

357
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: you know that he's put something on the books. There's

358
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: enough about real law. I think folks out there think

359
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 3: there's not. There's a gap, and that's one of the

360
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: reasons people are We're having a great call to action

361
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: to make sure that this cannot happen in uh in Texas,

362
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 3: because Texas is too precious to this union and too

363
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: precious to the freedom of the world to allow Texas

364
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 3: to fall. New York's fallen, New York's falling. You've got

365
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 3: a Ugandan Marxist hottest uh As and who I think

366
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: could be denaturalized in an afternoon. Is some way we

367
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 3: get focused that's running New York City, and New York

368
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: City is already a Yes, it's going to be a

369
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: bigger mess after this. So where did they go right now?

370
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: If they want to get on a waiting list? And

371
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: I want to specifically, where do people go to talk

372
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: about Patriot mobile over at nine seven two Patriot Where

373
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: they go and who they talked to?

374
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, you can call ninety seven two Patriot

375
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 12: but if you want to get on a list, it's

376
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 12: really Patriotmobile, dot Com, Forward Slash, Save Texas and Steve

377
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 12: you just brought this up. What was going on in

378
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 12: Austin last week was crazy the protest and just unruly

379
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 12: behavior of groups. And I'll tell you what, if we

380
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 12: did that, we'd all be throwing in jail. So I mean,

381
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 12: it's like this, two different levels of all one for

382
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 12: us and one for them, and we're not gonna let

383
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 12: it happen. We're gonna we're we're gonna educate everybody that attends.

384
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 12: We're gonna have another one. We'll do one of these

385
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 12: every quarter and if we have to, every month. And

386
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 12: it's really the hottest topic from my perspective, and it's

387
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 12: really working together different groups, centered goals that do different things,

388
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 12: we kind of get together. It reminds me of Biblical times,

389
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 12: the rebuilding of wall, the ancient wall around Jerusalem. You know,

390
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 12: the different groups that didn't get along, we're working together

391
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 12: to get that wall built to protect their city. And

392
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 12: quite frankly, that's what we're doing here.

393
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 3: Clint Story, I want to thank you. You have the

394
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: back of first responders. You have the back of conservative groups.

395
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: You have the back of your Christian company and you

396
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: put your vice to work. I really want to appreciate you.

397
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: Saw you guys in action over the last summer, whether

398
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: it's redistricting or this issue, but Islamization. And for you guys,

399
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: you can rally the troops quickly. To do this in

400
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 3: ten days is pretty extraordinary. So I want to thank

401
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 3: you you and Jennying the entire team over to Patrick Mobile,

402
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir, appreciate you well.

403
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 12: We want to thank you for participating and sharing this

404
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 12: with the POSSE. If it weren't for the POSSE, it

405
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 12: wouldn't be able to happen either.

406
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: So well, the POSSE exists because of guys like you.

407
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: We give people access to information and news and groups

408
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: that empowers them and allows them to use their agency.

409
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 3: This is what this is about. There's a big problem

410
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: down Texas, and Glenn says something quite powerful. The behavior

411
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: of these groups when they get riled up and the

412
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: police play patty cake with them. Got to stop. Can't

413
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 3: have two systems along, can't do it. And you're seeing

414
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: the people in Texas. I can tell you how important

415
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: this is. An event like this put together of the

416
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: holidays is people will tell you just can't happen. It

417
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: came together like that. We've could have sold this room

418
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: out two or three times the size. That's the level

419
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 3: of interest of people that want to come and see this.

420
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 3: Neil McKay joins us. Neil, We've got a bunch of

421
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: things happening tomorrow in commemoration of I hope one day

422
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: is made a national holiday for about patriots. That's January sixth.

423
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 3: We've got a press conference, there's marches, there's all types

424
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: of things going on. We're putting out music. We've got

425
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: a film coming out. Can you walk us through the

426
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: punch lies of exactly what is happening? Sir? Yeah, of course.

427
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 11: The documentary is The Sleeping Giant, which not only talks

428
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 11: about Jay six, but that sort of that struggle for

429
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 11: these guys and girls to recover from Jay six. It's

430
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 11: not really fair that we you know, they a lot

431
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 11: of them got apart, and fourteen of them only had

432
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 11: their sentence commuted, but you know, they got clemency from

433
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 11: the President, which we're.

434
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 3: All grateful for.

435
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 11: But it's not really fair to ask these guys to say, Okay,

436
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 11: now go on and have a normal life. There's a

437
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 11: lot of recovery for these guys, and that documentary digs

438
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 11: into it and really makes it it real. Tomorrow at

439
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 11: eleven there's going to be a press conference that will

440
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 11: carry live Real America's voice, and then there'll be a

441
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 11: speaking program at the Ellipse at eleven forty five, And

442
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 11: when that speaking program is over, there's going to be

443
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 11: a peaceful, patriotic march to the Capitol Steve and at

444
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 11: two forty four they're going to lay some flowers down.

445
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 11: And of course two forty four is the time that

446
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 11: Lieutenant Byrd murdered Ashley Babbitt, and so it's going to

447
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 11: be it's going to be jam packed. There's going to

448
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 11: be a lot of people there. Before you ask another question,

449
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 11: I just want to get it out to people that

450
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 11: you probably want to take the Federal Triangle or Metro

451
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 11: Center u TISA metro stops rather than trying to drive in.

452
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 11: And also be aware that you know this is a

453
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 11: National Park Service permitted event, so treat it like a

454
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 11: concert or a ballgame. So there's no there's no strollers,

455
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 11: no backpacks, no aerosol cans like there's all list of

456
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 11: things that you just just treat it like a ballgamer

457
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 11: a concert and everything will go smooth, Steve.

458
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, we're going to do the We're going to

459
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: do the press conference, the kick on press Considurn, the

460
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: war room that'll be from the Willard Hotel. That'll lead

461
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 3: into a speaker event that they'll have a speaker event

462
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: at the Ellipse. And then just like on January sixth,

463
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: what five years ago, there's gonna be a peaceful march

464
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: up to the Capitol, just like it was then, Neil McCabe.

465
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: And then of course we're gonna honor Ashley Babbitt, trying

466
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: to get Ashley Babbitt's mom on tonight or tomorrow morning sometime. Neil,

467
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: can you just hang on one second? Uh, just hang

468
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: on a minute. Neil McCabe joins us, we got Joe Allen.

469
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: We're packed this afternoon. What did Madeira say? I am

470
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: a prisoner of war thinks throwing down pretty hard. His

471
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: compadres and Venezuela thrown down hard too short commercial break

472
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: back in a.

473
00:26:43,560 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 5: Moment, here's your host, Stephen.

474
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 12: K back Neil.

475
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 3: Before I let you go, I do want to go

476
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: through the logistics and more because I want all our viewers,

477
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: everybody to understand whatd have a full day in celebration

478
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: of the in commemoration of J six and its meaning

479
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 3: and purpose. The President has been up all day, you know,

480
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: last night about the machines in Venezuela. He had a

481
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: had a text of a report by I think was

482
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 3: doctor Michael Scherr, who was the head of the ben

483
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: Laden Tracking group at the CIA at the time, and

484
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 3: he's he's a left the CIA many years ago and

485
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: he's adamant that three November of twenty twenty was a

486
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: CIA driven coup. This is a guy that worked for

487
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: the CIA his entire life. So I want to go

488
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 3: back to the legistmate doing that before doing that, giving

489
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 3: your military experience, Pete, there's a process that started today.

490
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 3: The process started is against Mark Kelly. And I think

491
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: Mark Kelly, if he hasn't lawried up already, he should

492
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: have lurried up today because Pete hex has started the

493
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: process setting a letter of censure, turning over to the

494
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: Secretary Navy. Is pretty evident to me that they're going

495
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: to recall Kelly to active duty, busting first, recalling to

496
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: active duty and court martialing. And I think the brother's

497
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 3: looking at Levenworth your thoughts, sir.

498
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, there's this I don't know what you call

499
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 11: it a myth, but there's this perception and once you've

500
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 11: retired from the military, especially if you're an officer, that

501
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 11: you're free and clear. If you're receiving a pension, that

502
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 11: pension is actually a retainer because you are ready to

503
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 11: be recalled at any moment. So basically, if you if

504
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 11: you receive that retainer, you know you can be called back.

505
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 11: And that's what Kelly. If Kelly's receiving that money, he's

506
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 11: on the hook. He's a member of the Fleet Reserve,

507
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 11: and so they can call him back. They could call

508
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 11: him back today and put him in Syria, they could

509
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 11: put him in Iceland, or they can put him in

510
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 11: the brig. Now, the letter of censure is pretty strong

511
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 11: because he really goes after good order and discipline and

512
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 11: his conduct as an officer. And that's Article one thirty

513
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 11: three of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. And there's

514
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 11: actually a court case called US versus Hooper where where

515
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 11: the US Claims Court ruled flat out citing Supreme Court

516
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 11: President that Hey, if you're an officer and you're on retainer.

517
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 11: It's just like you're on active duty. It's like you

518
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 11: have the exact same status. And so Kelly was really

519
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 11: playing with fire Steve, because you know, they tried to

520
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 11: be cute by one turn right. But actually the whole

521
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 11: purpose of that video was to suggest that military personnel

522
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 11: were receiving illegal orders and that illegal orders was actually

523
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 11: a present threat that was going on currently, and so

524
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 11: that absolutely undermines good order in discipline.

525
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: Steve, No, no, no, okay, Look, let's step back and

526
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: look at a real world example. The other night on

527
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 3: the extraction, you have twelve thousand to fourteen thousand fleet

528
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: marines and sailors, airmen, all of it. The complexity of

529
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: making that work, and that gets down to the deck

530
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: plates of the engine room and damage control on the cruisers,

531
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: on the destroyers, on the aircraft carry and the flight deck.

532
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: Everybody has to work in unison because they train all

533
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: the time, particularly the deployments at sea. You can't put

534
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: it in a seaman's mind. You can't put in a

535
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: young fireman's mind or deckhand's mind that they have some option.

536
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: You know, they can sit there and be a sea lawyer.

537
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 3: You have to work as a team what Kelly did,

538
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 3: particularly Kelly's you know understanding, it's unacceptable and he has

539
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: to be court martialed. He has to be sent to Levenworth.

540
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: And people have to know if you're going to be cute.

541
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: As President Trump said, no games, because because the evolution

542
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: took place, as not just the super elite shooters and

543
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: gunmen to go and kick down the door and kill

544
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: the thirty two Cubans. Obviously they're at they're at the

545
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: highest level of military training, but it's everybody. Remember the

546
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: military takes essentially the common man and woman and turns

547
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 3: them into a warrior. That that meshing of people together

548
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: is the purpose of the process. You can't quite And

549
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: then and for them to do that was to throw

550
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: a monkey wrench in against Donald John Trump as commander

551
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: in chief of the Armed Forces. And you see how

552
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: the Armed Forces are operating under him, whether you agree

553
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: with the politics of it or not, whether you agree

554
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: with the geopolitical strategy of it or not. The expeditionary

555
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: hit to end the Twelve Day War and what just

556
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: occurred in Venezuela, they're masterpieces. You cannot be prouder of

557
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 3: the men and women in the Armed Forces for what

558
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: they do to practice practice practice as a learning organization,

559
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: and anybody that would try to get in the way

560
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: that for common political gain. I'm sorry, Mark Kelly. You're

561
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: just a pomposa ass. You have been for many, many

562
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: many years. You're going to Leavenworth Brothers so they can

563
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: do all the winging and whining on MSNBC. By the way,

564
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: MSNBC beautiful today it starts trading publicly with Jim Kramer

565
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: and the stock tanks with down seven percent at the open.

566
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 3: That thing is such a dog anyway, Neil, your thoughts

567
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: on Mark Kelly before I go back to the logistics.

568
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, we used to say that stock is such

569
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 11: a goat, it eats cans. The first of all, you

570
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 11: were a deck watch officer, so you know, even if

571
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 11: there wasn't a shot fired, when you have that many

572
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 11: ships at sea, things happen. And if I'm a nozzleman

573
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 11: going in to fight a fire and a compartment, I

574
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 11: can't be wondering is this operation even legal or constitutional?

575
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 11: When I deployed, they told to Iraq they said, hey,

576
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 11: the soldier who thinks is dead, you cannot be contemplating

577
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 11: the whither and that you have to act as you

578
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 11: are trained and as you are ordered, and so these

579
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 11: guys are absolutely playing a dangerous, dangerous game. So it

580
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 11: sent a crazy message. Frankly, if these guys didn't do

581
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 11: that video, I'm sure Maduro might have come to the table,

582
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 11: and some of our other enemies may have come to

583
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 11: the table. It's really bonkers that they would play this

584
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 11: kind of dame game.

585
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 3: Steve, Well, well, you gotta have, you gotta the system

586
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: has to hold people accountable. And Kelly's been out there.

587
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: You know, he talks a big game. Now you're gonna

588
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: get a chance. Brother, You're gonna get busted down to

589
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: a deck. I think a seeman apprentice. I hope. I

590
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 3: just don't know if they can take the A Lottle office.

591
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 3: I take it's a seeming apprentice, and then we're gonna

592
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: put you on trial. Then you're gonna be found guilty.

593
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: Then you're gonna go to Levenworth. Anyway, Neil logisticismore give

594
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: give him to me one more time. We want anybody

595
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: in the area to show up. But particularly obviously people

596
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: are gonna be real America's voice. We're gonna cover it

597
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: wal to wall. Starting in the war room at eleven

598
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: am Eastern Standard time. But what do you got for Sneil?

599
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 11: Right, So I'll be out and about and doing some

600
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 11: of the earlier shows. Perhaps the presser is at eleven.

601
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 11: The speaking program begins at the Ellipse at eleven forty five.

602
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 11: The best metro stops are going to be Federal Triangle

603
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 11: and Metro Center. After the speaking program, there'll be a

604
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 11: peaceful and patriotic march to the Capitol where they will

605
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 11: lay flowers in memory of Ashley Babbitt and the others

606
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 11: who died that day at two forty four, which is

607
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 11: the moment when Lieutenant Bird murdered Ashley Babbitt. And it's

608
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 11: going to be a very powerful event and I'm really

609
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 11: looking forward to being a part of it.

610
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 5: It's going to be epic.

611
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: Steve, did I miss my We covered Maduro in detail today?

612
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 3: Did I miss that? The warm missed the purp walk

613
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 3: of Lieutenant Bird? Has he purp walked yet for the

614
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 3: murder in cold blood of Ashley Dapt.

615
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 11: I believe he's still at liberty. He still walks the

616
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 11: earth as a free man. Kelly, maybe in jail before Bird?

617
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: Well, No, the Bird thing's gotta be taken care of

618
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 3: It's got to be taken care of it. It's outraged.

619
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 11: There's no statute of limitations on.

620
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 3: Murder and murder and having a commemorate and commemorating with

621
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: Ashley Babbitt's mother and her family, and nothing's been done

622
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: about this anyway. Neil, what's your social media?

623
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 11: You can find me on all the socials at Reporter mccaves.

624
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 3: Steve, thank you, Neil, appreciate you. Nick Fritis joins us

625
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 3: from the Come with Hija. We have NICKO. Hey, Nick,

626
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: you put something up on Twitter the other day that

627
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: found very relevatory your Special Forces Green Beret. You've done

628
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: these kind of actions that are in places like Venezuela.

629
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 3: You laid out what you thought were two broad alternatives.

630
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: Can you walk the audio and ste those sir, because

631
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: both alternatives kind of have involvement of American personnel. So

632
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 3: can you take your two alternatives? Do you think is

633
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: available to the President of the United States to get

634
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 3: this thing sorted down? There? Sure?

635
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 10: What I tried to lay it out was kind of

636
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 10: a best case in worst case scenario. And again I

637
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 10: say this as someone that considers myself a major supporter

638
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 10: of the Trump administration. I've been very happy with the

639
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 10: changes that have taken place in the military. And I

640
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 10: don't just say that as a veteran, I say it

641
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 10: is also the father of a son who's a young

642
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 10: infstryman in the Hunter and First Airborne Division. When we

643
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 10: look at we'll start off with worst case scenario. Worst

644
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 10: case scenario is if we find ourselves in a situation

645
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 10: where whatever government ends up being somewhat implemented or put

646
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 10: into position with the support of the United States government,

647
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 10: if they don't have adequate support, which is to say

648
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 10: that they don't have the funding necessary in order to

649
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 10: pay off military and other security personnel. If we see

650
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 10: within the anti Maduro political parties within Venezuela, if we

651
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 10: see a lot of fracturing and fighting over control of

652
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 10: the government, we could very well end up in a

653
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 10: situation where a drastic increase of US military personnel is

654
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 10: required in order to provide for security. We could see

655
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 10: the various cartels that have been operating currently within the

656
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 10: government now operating separate from the government, launching a variety

657
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 10: of terrorist attacks against both Venezuela and security personnel and

658
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 10: US military personnel, and and we can all see how

659
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 10: this could devolve very quickly where we're having to send

660
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 10: more and more troops.

661
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: Well and one hang on and one and one thing

662
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 3: and one thing that you know today Maduro was as

663
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 3: arrogant as you possibly be in a federal court. Where

664
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 3: you go in to a federal court you say yes, sir, no, sir,

665
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 3: three begs full sir. I mean it's a federal judge.

666
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 3: It's got a certain way of roles. I mean Maduro

667
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 3: is sitting there going I am the president of Venezuela.

668
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 3: I was kidnapped from my home. I'm a prisoner of war.

669
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 3: So this guy's demeanor today was not somebody that's looks

670
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: like he's trying to cut a deal or it looks

671
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 3: like he's, uh, he's going to cooperate in any matter.

672
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: He couldn't have been more defiant, including when one of

673
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: the spectators in the court called him out and said,

674
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: you're finally going to get justice is going to be

675
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: served on you, dirt bag. He was not. You know,

676
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 3: he didn't back down on that. So this is my

677
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 3: point is that we're not saying this is going to happen,

678
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 3: but it is a blow as they're planning now. Steven

679
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 3: Miller and Pete Hegseth and in Secretary of State Marco

680
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 3: and they're upright now briefing. Brat's gonna tell us what

681
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 3: it's like. They're briefing on Capitol Hill right now. And

682
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: you've already had a West Point grad accuse the Secretary

683
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: of State Marco Ruby or Dan Ryan, a West Point

684
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: grad accused him of perjury and lying about what the

685
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: real status is. This thing is going to become intensely

686
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 3: political immediately, and so that's what we got to look

687
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 3: through both scenarios. Well, this is the part two that people.

688
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 10: Need to understand, Like, I don't want the worst case

689
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 10: scenario to happen, but it's something that we have to

690
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 10: plan for. Because one of the things that rebels understand

691
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 10: fighting the United States is you never you're not fighting

692
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 10: the United States military. If you fight the United States military,

693
00:38:58,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 10: you will get your ass care.

694
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: Right.

695
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 10: That's not what they're trying to do. They're trying to

696
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 10: influence public opinion within the United States because if they

697
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 10: can effectively do that, what ultimately ends up happening is

698
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 10: you have negative election results, and those native election results

699
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 10: result in US forces being either pulled out prematurely or

700
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 10: not being deployed adequately or supported adequately, and the end

701
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 10: result is that you trade one bad regime in Venezuela

702
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 10: for another one.

703
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 3: That's what we want to avoid. Now.

704
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 10: Having said that, we need to understand, Venezuela is not Iraq,

705
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 10: it's not Afghanistan, but there are things that we can

706
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 10: learn from Iraq and Afghanistan in order to help us

707
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 10: on what happens next within Venezuela. Again, being a Green Beret,

708
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 10: our job was buy through and with our job was

709
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 10: to develop host nation capacity so Americans don't have to

710
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 10: be fighting the war and running the country. And so

711
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 10: there's another scenario here where we gain a strong strategic

712
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 10: ally within South America in the form of Venezuela. We

713
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 10: remove the benefits that Venezuela currently gives to strategic opposition

714
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 10: in the United States, China, Russia specifically, but also more

715
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 10: geographically relevant in Cuba. Right, there's all kinds of good

716
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 10: things that can potentially happen from this. I would argue

717
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 10: that the United States doesn't need to deploy a massive

718
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 10: amount of troops in order to actually make this thing work.

719
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 10: But I don't see any scenario where some aren't deployed.

720
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 10: The question is who So seven Special Forces Group. They

721
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 10: are the Special Forces Group. There's five active duty groups,

722
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 10: two guard groups. Seven Special Forces Group is the one

723
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 10: that is responsible for Latin America. They're very, very accustomed

724
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 10: to training in this area. They're accustomed to the culture.

725
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 10: You have a lot of those guys that they speak

726
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 10: the language. So you could see an environment where seven

727
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 10: Special Forces Group.

728
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: Nick, Nick, just hang on for a second. We're taking

729
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 3: a commercial break on the whole Joe. We'll go through

730
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 3: this the more detail, Nick joins us. Here we're going

731
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 3: through Venezuela as they are doing on Capitol Hill in

732
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: a highly classified brief. Even as we speak. Sure, we rejoice,

733
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 3: let's take down.

734
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 5: Here's your host, Stephen K bas So.

735
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 3: Nick Freedez joins us. Nick, continue on the seventh, the

736
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 3: seventh Special Operator Group down there. Yes, the reason that's

737
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: what HAPs on here, what kind of what kind of

738
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 3: what kind of what's kind of shocked me is that

739
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 3: the too alternatives you laid out both had the insertion

740
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: of American troops. Do you see a scenario because right

741
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 3: now we're using naval power, right we're using a quarantine.

742
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 3: He's putting pressure, he said, to exert pressure. They won't

743
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: allow any old to go out to have no cash

744
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 3: and nothing goes to Cuba. I'm sure they're going to

745
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: do on air quarantine also and only allow in what

746
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 3: they want to allow in. Do you not think that

747
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 3: that as you see it right now? Like I said,

748
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 3: they're briefing up on Capitol Hill, highly classified briefing of

749
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 3: this to the to the big shots on Capitol Hill

750
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 3: that need to I think is need to know bases

751
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: only today. I think they brought it out in the

752
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 3: next couple of days. But you don't see a scenario

753
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: where we can get through this and do what the

754
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 3: President said he wants to accomplish without the assertion of

755
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 3: American troops. And President said, hey, have you got have

756
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: boots on the ground. You got to have boots on

757
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 3: the ground. I'm not afraid of that, sir.

758
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's a question of what boots on

759
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 10: the ground you have. I don't think we need to

760
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 10: go in there with massive division size troops. Again, when

761
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 10: you're talking about a group like seven Special Forces Group,

762
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 10: these are guys that our whole mission was buy through

763
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 10: and with we do foreign internal defense, we do counterinsurgency.

764
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 10: These guys go in an advisory role. They can do

765
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 10: combat operations as well. Obviously that's what we're doing in

766
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 10: Iraq and Afghanistan, but it doesn't have to be Americans

767
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 10: outfront doing the heavy lifting. One of the biggest things

768
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 10: that we're going to have to look at here is

769
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 10: when Trump was talking about the United States getting down

770
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 10: and actually running and managing the oil infrastructure. That's critical

771
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 10: because if you don't have the oil infrastructure up and running,

772
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 10: then how are you paying soldiers, how are you paying

773
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 10: law enforcement? Well, the cartel's got to manage. They got

774
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 10: a mechanism for doing it. That's how the government's been running.

775
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 10: And one of the most important things we have to

776
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 10: do initially is ensure that the security forces in place

777
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 10: are capable, that they can actually carry out their operations,

778
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 10: and they can actually make maintained security, and that they're

779
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 10: loyal to the government that comes in. I have a

780
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 10: hard time seeing any way that we do that without

781
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 10: any sort of US military presence. Now maybe it's maybe

782
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 10: it's possible that the president certainly has access to information

783
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 10: that I do not, And again I would argue that

784
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 10: this is not something where we need to go in

785
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 10: with overwhelming US force but there needs to be something

786
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 10: to ensure that guys don't you know, take their rifles,

787
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 10: walk off the job and then go to the highest bidder.

788
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 10: One of the biggest problems that we had in Iraq

789
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 10: was that we had these you know, smart guys come

790
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 10: in and decide that they were going to go through

791
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 10: complete debathification, and the next thing, you know, we got

792
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 10: tens of thousands of military age males with guns and

793
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 10: no job. That's not what you want. That's not a

794
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 10: good recipe for maintaining security. So as long as we

795
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 10: can maintain that security initially, ensure that it's loyal to

796
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 10: the government, and then allow Venezuelans to do the vast

797
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 10: majority of the heavy lifting when it comes to maintaining security,

798
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 10: then you can actually see a pathway where all of

799
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 10: a sudden, there's faith restored in the government. The Venezuelan

800
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 10: people are starting to see the benefits of the incoming

801
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 10: government as opposed to the oppression that they saunder. At

802
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 10: Maduro and the United States picks up a strategic ally

803
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 10: which has an incredible amount of potential both from their

804
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 10: oil wealth as well as other features of Venezuela. But

805
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 10: those are the two scenarios that I see it. Again,

806
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 10: I don't claim to have special information as the intel

807
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 10: on the ground that the president does, but just knowing

808
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 10: a little something about fighting against terrorism and insurgents and

809
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 10: what it takes to do that successfully.

810
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 3: These are some of the things that I anticipate going forward. No,

811
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: and this is one of the controversies in MAGA. Is

812
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 3: this nation building or we're getting too involved here. So

813
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 3: this is going to develop over the next couple of days.

814
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 3: And Nick, you know the president very well. In fact,

815
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 3: we have the President is putting up a true social

816
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 3: last night, he's putting a lot of things up about

817
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: now the machines in Venezuela's involvement. I'm honored to have

818
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,479
Speaker 3: the two gentlemen, Dave Bratt and Nick Fretis, who were

819
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 3: who the CIA, I think, had something to say about

820
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 3: the two elections of Spamberger, the current governor of Virginia.

821
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 3: Talk to me about that you actually won election day,

822
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: You were winning on election night, I mean twenty twenty.

823
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 3: We were with you guys the entire time, and then Nick,

824
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: you went from the winner. And remember in this in

825
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty election, shrestole was Trump won fourteen House

826
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 3: seats from Nancy Pelosi. We netted twelve, but we won fourteen.

827
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 3: Nick Creators would have been fifteen. But tell the audience

828
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 3: what happened? You won election day? On election night you

829
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 3: were winning, and then what happened, sir?

830
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, I didn't want to run for Congress.

831
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 10: I wanted my good friend Dave Bratt to be in

832
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 10: that seat in Congress. When we ran, we had certain

833
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 10: goals that we wanted to hit for our numbers. We

834
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 10: vastly exceeded those goals. We went into election day very

835
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 10: very confident, and again on election night we were winning.

836
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 10: By the next morning we still were winning. And I

837
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 10: kid you not, a thun drive showed up in Raiko County,

838
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 10: which was the bluest county in the district.

839
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 3: They had mislabeled it. Fifteen thousand votes were.

840
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 10: On that and that was enough to erode our lead

841
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 10: and have us lose by less than two points. So

842
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 10: it was definitely very very frustrating a lot of people.

843
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 10: Why didn't you fight it more? Believe me, we tried.

844
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 10: The problem was is you either run out of money

845
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 10: or you don't have standing. One of the most nefarious

846
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 10: things that happened with the election and across the country

847
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 10: and specifically in Virginia's they had changed so much in

848
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 10: the election laws in Virginia that a lot of the

849
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 10: stuff that they were doing was technically legal. And what

850
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 10: ended up happening is it made it very, very difficult

851
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 10: to identify fraud when it was actually happened to when

852
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 10: there was a high degree of probability that it could

853
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 10: be happening. And so you found yourself in a situation

854
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 10: where they could essentially run you out of money. And

855
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 10: it's kind of where we found ourselves.

856
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 3: Nick, Where can people get you? I want to make

857
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 3: sure everybody read your social media. I'm sure you have

858
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 3: a lot more to say, and I know there's going

859
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 3: to be a lot of discussion on Capitol Hill as

860
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 3: soon as this briefing is over. Where do people go

861
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 3: and get you, sir? Well, people can find me at

862
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 3: Nick J.

863
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 10: Fradis. All of our social media is Nick J. Fradius.

864
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 10: And again I'll just emphasize this. I think within those

865
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 10: of us who love this country, who support the Trump administration,

866
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 10: we need to be able to have candid conversations about

867
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 10: what happens next. But when it comes to the socialist left,

868
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 10: complaining about this. I couldn't care less what their concern is.

869
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 10: They're just mad that a socialist dictator was removed with power.

870
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 10: That's my favorite part of all of this. So now

871
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 10: let's do the next part of this.

872
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 3: Right, Nick, thank you, you're a patriot and a hero.

873
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us. So I appreciate you. Thank you,

874
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: sir Brat. Right now, we got about a minute. They're

875
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: up on Capitol Hill and they're with the top people

876
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 3: and they're briefing on Venezuela. There will be a couple

877
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: of three leaks when they come out after this. Correct, Yeah, no,

878
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 3: that's right.

879
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 8: We heard about Pat Ryan, the New York Congressman, accusing

880
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 8: of lying Rubio of lying. Perhaps he has not read

881
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 8: President t Trump's national security policy. It's called hemispheric dominance.

882
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 8: It's been very clear what's going to happen the overall strategy.

883
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 8: Of course, you're not going to outs to the New

884
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 8: York Times, but you would think politics would end at

885
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 8: the water's edge. He was on Dana Bash's Inside Politics,

886
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 8: that was the name of the show when he launched

887
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 8: his tirade on you know, the differences between Venezuela and Iraq.

888
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 8: The biggest difference, and I'll conclude on this, is that

889
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 8: what President Trump is doing can in no way be

890
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 8: attached to the big globalist forces that have run this

891
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 8: country for the past thirty years. He's digging our way

892
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 8: out of that mess, and so I applaud him for

893
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 8: this step.

894
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 3: They stick around, the second hour is going to be

895
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 3: hotter than even the first sure commercial break back in

896
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 3: the war. In just a moment,
