1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, luck and load. So Michael 2 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: Arry Show is on the air. The Democrats need Jasmine 3 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: Crockett to run for the Senate in Texas, and Republicans 4 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 1: need Jasmine Crockett to run for the Senate in Texas. 5 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: It can be the case that both of those things 6 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: are true at the same time. There is a lot 7 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: of excitement in Houston that Jasmine Crockett is running for 8 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: the Senate because there are black women judges they call 9 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: them black Girl Magic, who are running against white Democrats 10 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: in the Democrat primary. And the hope is they can 11 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: gin up a lot of excitement by black women to 12 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: vote into black in the in the Democrat primary. For 13 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: the black women candidates, it has worked so far, and 14 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: so they will be parading Jasmine Crockett around as their 15 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: savior to generate excitement. They'll have her in the churches, 16 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: They'll have her at the at the activism events, They'll 17 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: have her at the rallies. And you might as well 18 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: prepare yourself now for the show that it's going to be, 19 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: because when she shows up in an audience like that, 20 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: they want her to show out. They want to hear 21 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: her say some crazy stuff. So they can say, gone, girl, gone, 22 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: keep going, keep going. So what she's doing is going 23 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: to be very posts with Democrats, but it's going to 24 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: be very difficult come November. I give you an example 25 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: here she is on CNN when Laura Coach asked her about, Hey, 26 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: don't you need some Trump voters to win? It's a 27 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: majority Republican state in the state of Texas. 28 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: How will you make voters who previously have voted for Trump, 29 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: particularly given that you have been an outspoken critic and 30 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: he has inserted himself Just take your campaign video as is, 31 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: he has inserted himself at every turn when it comes 32 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: to your commentary, How will you convert those who are 33 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: supportive of him to voters for you? 34 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that will necessarily convert all of 35 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 3: Trump's supporters. 36 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: That's not our you need to. 37 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: Our goal is to definitely talk to people. No, we don't. 38 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: We don't need to. 39 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: Our goal is to make sure that we can engage 40 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: people that historically have not been talked to because there's 41 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: so many people that you will fight for them. 42 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. So, if you're a Trump supporter, the days of 43 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: government governing on the basis of anything other than super 44 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: serving their tribe. If you're a Democrat, they're over. And 45 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: the reason is the Democrats are forced to super serve 46 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: their base because that's what their base has become. There 47 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: are fewer and fewer normal people who vote Democrat. You 48 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: probably notice it in your own lives. A lot of 49 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: people who are just going about their business and doing 50 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: their job, and they kind of like the Democrats. Those 51 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: people have left. They don't want any part of what's 52 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: going on. They see the crime, they see the fraud, 53 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: they see the illegal immigration. They've been hurt by it, 54 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: they've been hit by it. They don't want any part 55 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: of it. Jake Tapper asked Shila Jasmine Lee Crockett about 56 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: her firm campaign and you know the one with her 57 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: looking off to the left of the screen while audio 58 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: of Trump insulting her plays. Here's what she said. 59 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 4: Your official announcement is just a video of you and 60 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 4: then image of you while insults of President Trump of 61 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 4: you play in the background. 62 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Why that decision? 63 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 4: I mean, with one of your opponents, tall Ico, he 64 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 4: had a video him with constituents, him with Texans, Why 65 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 4: you solo? 66 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 5: Yes. 67 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: So there's a couple of things. Number One, I wanted 68 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: to do something different because Number one, in order to 69 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: flip the state of sexes, we're gonna have to do. 70 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: Something that we've never done. 71 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: So I wanted to say on brand with the fact 72 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: that we would be different. I also wanted people to 73 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: understand who the president sees as a real threat, and 74 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: it is me. 75 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: See he paying attention to me, He know who I am. 76 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: She was also on ms now. Somebody thought that was 77 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: real clever to name MSNBC when she said that, Mam 78 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: Donnie showed how to win an election. Please keep saying 79 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: things like this, because when Texan's here that you're taking 80 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: your cue for Mamdani, that is not going to be good. 81 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, Mandannie has not backed down 82 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 3: whatsoever from his rhetoric against the president in the Oval office. 83 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: He stood, he stood there and he said what he 84 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: said about him being a fascist. Yet he was able 85 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: to win those voters. So Democrats that believe the only 86 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: way that you can win is by being soft and 87 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: sounding like a Republican, that is not true. What people 88 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: are looking for are people that are tough and are 89 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: fighters and are going to fight for them. 90 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: There's always so much fighting going on. Who are they 91 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: fighting for? Who are they fighting with? What does that mean? Man? 92 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: Who are gonna fight for? 93 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 6: You? 94 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: Who're gonna fight? Fight? Fight? Fight fight? What are you 95 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: going to fight for? 96 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 7: Who? 97 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: The only thing you fight for is illegal aliens in Somali, 98 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: fraudsters and criminals. Is that really enough of an audience? 99 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: California congress Critter Roe Kanna was on CNN when he 100 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: was asked about Crockett. He didn't give her exactly a 101 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: ringing endorsement. You listen for yourself. 102 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 5: Is she the kind of candidate that the party should 103 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 5: get behind to take back the Senate? 104 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: Sure, she's new. 105 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 8: You know what we don't need. 106 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: We don't need. 107 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 8: Nineteen nineties or two thousand folks leading us into the future. 108 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 8: We need a new generation. 109 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 7: Do we need the. 110 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: Old guard to step aside? 111 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 8: We need a new generation who understand modern technology, who 112 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 8: understand the issues of the base. And Jasmine is certainly 113 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 8: one of those people. 114 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: You support, going to do very well, your supporter. 115 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 8: I support her, I've worked with her, I support her, 116 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 8: but I also I mean, I respect that tell Rico 117 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 8: should be an open, competitive primary. But I like Kasmine 118 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 8: and I'm supporting her. 119 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: So you're supporting her before you know anyone else who's 120 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: in the race. Of course you are, because there's a 121 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: black candidate running against a white candidate in the Democrat primary. 122 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: It's going to be very interesting to watch how this 123 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: plays out because the white liberal Talerico, who's kind of 124 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: a Gavin Newsome weasily slick white guy, super liberal. He's 125 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: playing nice right now, but she's getting all the coverage 126 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: and he's not. And at some point he's going to 127 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: have to say what the Republicans are going to say 128 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: in the general election. This girl is nuts, She's absolutely crazy, 129 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: and he's going to have to say it. And when 130 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: he does, there are going to be party elders who say, 131 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: you cannot tell a black woman she's unstable, even if 132 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 1: she is. And he's not going to lightly go down. 133 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: He's gonna want to win. He's also going to be 134 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: careful he doesn't ruin his career because well, be fun 135 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: to watch Mike who Berry's show. You know, Michael Masden died. 136 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: My brother's a cop. I don't ruin the movie for anybody. 137 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: My brother is a cop, and that movie was very 138 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: difficult for me to watch because I imagine my brother 139 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: being a cop in that scene and it just tore 140 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: me up. Crazy Bernie was on CNN with that nasty person, 141 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: as Trump called her, Caitlin Collins. I don't think he 142 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: was wrong when she asked him if Democrats could win 143 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: a Senate seat in Texas. He said Texas should be 144 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: one of the most progressive states in America. Really, Bernie, 145 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: I knew you were nuts, but man, you just keep 146 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: out doing yourself. 147 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 9: Texas has been this kind of white whale for Democrats 148 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 9: that you've caucused with. Obviously you rightly noted you're an independent. 149 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 9: Do you think that Democrats could actually win a Senate 150 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 9: seat there this time? 151 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: Don't get me going on Texas. 152 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 6: Texas should be, in my view, one of the most 153 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 6: progressive states in Americans, a working class state. It's a 154 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 6: young state, showing Latino population, should going black population, and 155 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 6: how the Democratic leadership in Texas, and it's changed. 156 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: By the way it has changed. 157 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 6: But the Democratic leadership previously in Texas was pathetic. I've 158 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 6: been there several times, but I think things are changing, 159 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 6: and I think they're getting their act together, and I 160 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 6: think there is no reason why Texas should not be 161 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 6: a progressive state. 162 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: Can you play that again? Did he play it again? 163 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I heard it right. 164 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 9: Texas has been this kind of white whale for Democrats 165 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 9: that you've caucused with obviously rightly noted you're an independent. 166 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 9: Do you think that Democrats could actually win a Senate 167 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 9: seat there this time? 168 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: Don't get me going on Texas. 169 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 6: Texas should be, in my view, one of the most 170 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 6: progressive states in Americans, a working class state. It's a 171 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 6: young state, strong Latino population, strong Black population. And how 172 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 6: the Democratic leadership in Texas, and it's changed by the 173 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 6: way it has changed, But the Democratic leadership previously in 174 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 6: Texas was pathetic. I've been there several times. But I 175 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 6: think things are changing and I think they're getting their 176 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 6: act together and I think there's no reason why Texas 177 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 6: should not be a progressive state. 178 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: I know you know this, but the question related to 179 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: is winning the Senate seat in Texas a white whale? 180 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: That phrase goes back to Moby Dick and Captain Ahab, 181 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: You'll remember was hunting the white well. It was an obsession, 182 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: it was an all consuming The state of Texas has 183 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: generally been for the last eight years or so, it 184 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: has been the prize. It has been the flag that 185 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: the Democrats most want to plant, and so they've spent 186 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: a fortune on failed candidates in Texas. And it's money 187 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: that the good news is it's money that is then 188 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: not able to be spent in other states that are 189 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: swing states. The Texas media market, it has multiple media 190 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: markets that are very expensive, and they're separate markets. There's 191 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: no overlap. You've got the Houston market very expensive. You've 192 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: got the Dallas for Orth market very expensive. You've got 193 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 1: the Austin send In Tone market not nearly as expensive, 194 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: but to compete there you have to spend a lot 195 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: of money. And then you've got the Valley. You've got 196 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: West Texas, Lubbock, Midland, You've got the Panhandle up north, 197 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: and then you've got Southeast Texas Beaumont, Orange Port, Arthur 198 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: and South Texas is not a behemoth. You've got multiple 199 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: markets along that corridor. So you've got what is the 200 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: equivalent in some states to three or four or five 201 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: or six states other states. And here is the problem. 202 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: We're talking about a Senate seat. Texas gets two Senate seats, 203 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: one of them is up for election. That one senator 204 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: is no more important in the Senate than the senator 205 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: from Vermont it's a whole lot cheaper to spend the 206 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: money to win a close Senate race in a small state, 207 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: because you can flood the airwaves in Rhode Island or 208 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: New Hampshire for a few million dollars. To do that 209 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: in Texas, for the money to make a difference in Texas, 210 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: you've got to spend one hundred million dollars. Well, hell, 211 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: that's that's that's ten states. So yes, we want this 212 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: to be their white will. Even though I live here 213 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: and I can't fathom the thought of a Democrat representing 214 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: me in Senate, in the Senate, I'm willing to take 215 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: it on the chin. Democrats, spend all your money in 216 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: Texas trying to win this Senate seat for Jasmine Crockett 217 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: because that's the prize, that's the white well, that's the 218 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: one you always wanted. They did that with Beto A. Rourke, 219 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: They did it with Colin already. They they spent so 220 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: much money on Beto Auror. And what's important to understand 221 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: is these aren't Texans spending this money. Beto was getting 222 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: his money from California and New York. That's people that 223 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: want to see Schumer as the as the Senate majority 224 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: leader and at the time Pelosi as the Speaker of 225 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: the House. But they were trying to win the Senate 226 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: and they believed that psychologically, if they could tell the 227 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: nation even Texas is Democrat now, that all everything would fall. 228 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: That's Hitler rolling the panzers through the Czech Republic into Poland. 229 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: That is hint. That is the show of force that 230 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: is rolling westward through Paris all the way to the 231 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: coast and telling the English we're on our way. So 232 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: they get preoccupied with this and they get they start salivating. 233 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: They're going to win that seat. They're gonna win Texas. Well, 234 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something, They're not going to 235 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: win Texas because we will do whatever it takes. We 236 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: will campaign day and night, we will get every voter 237 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: to the polls. And yes, they will cheat, and we've 238 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: got to do nothing. Governor named Greg greg Abbott, who 239 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't get involved when they cheated and won the county 240 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: judge race when they took over Harris County, the county 241 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: that I live in. And so now we're going to 242 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: have fraud on a level we've never seen before in 243 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: Harris County and it's going to affect Greg abbot because 244 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: he's on the ballot and it's going to affect this 245 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: Senate seat. And our Republican governor allowed it to happen 246 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: because he wasn't willing to expend any political capital. And 247 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: that's what we've got across the country. You go back 248 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: to two thousand, Al Gore wins that race, He wins 249 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: Florida and wins that race if Catherine Harris, the then 250 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: Secretary of State, wasn't willing to battle for Bush to win, 251 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: for fairness to win, and then James A. Baker the 252 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: third goes to the Supreme Court, they make their argument, 253 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court rules Bush emerges, he's president. That wasn't 254 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: until hell, halfway through December, it was. It was over 255 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: a month. It was at least thirty seven forty days. 256 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of Republicans that won't go to 257 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: bat for us to win and defeat Democrats, and we've 258 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: got to have. 259 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 5: That, mister Michael Berry, Keem. 260 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: Jeffries, the poor Man's Barack Obama was asked as the 261 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: leader of the Democrats in the House, if he would 262 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: be endorsing anyone in the Texas Senate race. The funny 263 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: thing about that is that in Washington, d C. They 264 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: might think that Hakeem Jeffries has some influence in Texas. 265 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: The truth is, and politicians don't want to believe this 266 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: because they want to think that they're very powerful. The 267 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: truth is, endorsements by politicians of other politicians tend to 268 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: make no difference. Where they make a difference is early 269 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: in the race because money people want to know what 270 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: the politicians are doing, and they think that's important. So 271 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: the money people want to see who the other, you know, 272 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: elected officials who they think are so powerful, because in 273 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: their world, that is who's powerful. But if you think 274 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: a Democrat in Houston, Dallas, San Anton, McCallum, Laredo cares 275 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: what Hakeem Jeffries thinks, I assure you they don't. So 276 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: here is a Keem Jeffries. He's side stepping the question. 277 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: We'll get into why he does that later, but here 278 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: is him side stepping the question, which is just kind 279 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: of funny that anybody would even ask. Two quick questions. 280 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 10: One, as Democrats look to retake the majority in both chambers, 281 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 10: are you planning to make an endorsement in. 282 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: The Texas Senate race? 283 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 10: And two, yesterday commersonman Crockett said that she won't need 284 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 10: to win all the Trump voters in order. 285 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: To win the Texas Senate race. 286 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 10: And given that state is dominantly read, would you say 287 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 10: that it's vital that any candidate projects their message across 288 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 10: the board to every single voter in order to win 289 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 10: the state. 290 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 11: Well, I think I'm obviously focused on the House, not 291 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 11: the Senate, and we're only three seats short of taking 292 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 11: back the majority, and we are going to take the 293 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 11: majority back in the next Congress. Republicans have been a disaster. 294 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 11: They're totally on the run. They failed the American people. 295 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 11: The cost of living is out of control. Democrats are 296 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 11: the only group of people in this town and across 297 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 11: the country actually interested in dealing with the affordability crisis. 298 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 11: That's where our focus will continue to be. 299 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: So that's their message right now. You can see their points. 300 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: That's what the polls are showing people care about. Stuff 301 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: costs too much. President Trump headed off to Pennsylvania. Stuff 302 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: costs too much. Here's what we're going to do to 303 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: help because stuff costs too much. That's a big issue 304 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: right now. Now. Is that a governmental issue? And to 305 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: the extent that it is a result of governmental policy, 306 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: which party pushed policies that led to that why do 307 00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: things cost more? Inflation results from pushing too much cash 308 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: into the economy. It drives prices up. As it turns out, 309 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: to simplify the matter, cash or product costs work on 310 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: the curve as well supply and demand. When you put 311 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: too much cash into the economy, you drive prices up. 312 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: Just that simple. When you pull cash out of the economy, 313 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: you see prices come down. Then you've got the fact 314 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: that you've got the Fed. Now we had some movement today, 315 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: the Fed under Jerome Powell will not be making any 316 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 1: major rate cuts. I don't believe they could. They can 317 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: prove me wrong. I hope they proved me wrong. But 318 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: Jerome Powell has dug in his feet and he's kind 319 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: of like a John robertson this way. He's decided he's 320 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: going to have this epic battle with Donald Trump, and 321 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: he's gone not going to lower interest rates, which would 322 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: really stimulate the economy. But Trump will have his guy. 323 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: In next year, interest rates will drop, and when interest 324 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: rates drop, furniture Furniture stores will sell more furniture because 325 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: people from nance that car dealers will sell more cars, 326 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: home builders will sell more homes, more lots will sell, 327 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: more clothes will sell. Activity will heat up. And unfortunately, 328 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: while you are a principled voter looking at the good 329 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: of our nation today and into the future, most voters 330 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: simply say, am I doing better than I was yesterday? 331 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: And if not, I'm mad at whoever's in power. Doesn't 332 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: matter how we got here. I don't know how we 333 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: got here. I'm just not doing well. I'll vote against 334 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: whoever's in office. That is a larger vote than you 335 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: would imagine. It's disturbing to think, but it's true. So 336 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: this is going to be a tough year. I mean 337 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: next this coming year, twenty twenty six is going to 338 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: be a tough year in this country. Adding to that, 339 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: we've got a number of congressmen retiring. Everyone else is 340 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: clutching their pearls. I don't see that as a bad thing. 341 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: Most of those congressmen retiring. Troy Nels would be an 342 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: exception to this rule. But most of those congressmen retiring 343 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: are congressmen who hated Trump and worked hard against him. Well, 344 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: they can't stand to suffer him being president. In Laura, good, 345 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: get out of the way. You're hard to beat because 346 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: you got a name, idea, and a lot of money. 347 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: Let's open the seat up and get some maga conservatives 348 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: in there. This is great. Remember when the media tells 349 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: you things are really bad for Republicans, they mean things 350 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: are really bad for the swamp Republicans that they're friends with. 351 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: This isn't a battle of US versus Democrats. This is 352 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: a battle of the entire country against Washington d C. 353 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: And remember they're the cabal. Don't accidentally repeat their talking points. 354 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: What makes them very sad makes us very happy, and 355 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: what makes us very sad makes them very happy. So 356 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: don't confuse those two. I fell down a rabbit hole. 357 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: Turns out Jasmine Crockett things sit John Wayne mccornyan would 358 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: make a great senator that she really likes working with him. 359 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: She said that I ran down a rabbit hole.

I 389 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: think it's important. Well, Europe is a different place. 390 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 11: What do you mean. 391 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 5: If it keeps going the way it's going, Europe will 392 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 5: not be in my opinion, many of those countries will 393 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 5: not be viable countries any longer. Their immigration policy is 394 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 5: a disaster. What they're doing with immigration is a disaster. 395 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 5: We had a disaster coming, but I was able to 396 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 5: stop it. You know, we have no people coming through 397 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 5: our borders now, zero seven months. 398 00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, who would believe zero? 399 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 5: They went from millions of people, in some cases millions 400 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 5: of people a month, but millions of people to. 401 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: Know, Pater, that's not what Europe looks like. The opposite. Yeah, 402 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: I know Europe. 403 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 5: They're coming in from all parts of the world, not 404 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 5: just the Middle East. They're coming in from the Congo, 405 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 5: tremendous numbers of people coming from the Congo, and even worse, 406 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 5: they're coming from prisons of the Congo and many other countries. 407 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 5: And for some reason, they want to be politically correct, 408 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 5: which actually I think is the opposite of politically correct. 409 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 5: But they want to be politically correct and they don't 410 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 5: want to send. 411 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: Them back to where they came from. 412 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 5: And Europe is If you take a look at Paris, 413 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 5: it's a much different place. I loved Paris. It's a 414 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 5: much different place than it was. If you take a 415 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 5: look at London, you have a mayor named con He's 416 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 5: a horrible mayor. He's an incompetent mayor, but he's a horrible, vicious, 417 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 5: disgusting mayor. I think he's not terrible. If you have London, 418 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 5: it's a different place. I love London. I love London, 419 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 5: and I hate to see it happen. You know, my 420 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,239 Speaker 5: roots are in Europe, as you know, right, and I 421 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 5: hate to see that happened. This is one of the 422 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 5: great places in the world and they're allowing people just 423 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 5: to come in and unchecked, unvetted. 424 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: A lot of conservatives don't care for Christopher Hitchens because 425 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: he was really intellectually a liberal, not a classical liberal, 426 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: but a liberal, particularly as he was younger, and he 427 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: was an openly combatively atheistic speaker and writer. And it 428 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: wasn't enough that he was an atheist. He felt the 429 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: need to rub your face in it. But at least 430 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: to his credit, he was a pure atheist. He was 431 00:27:53,240 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: anti theism, he was anti religion. American this will typically 432 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: be anti Christian, but they won't dare speak ill of 433 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: the religion that if you have a problem with religions, 434 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: should give you the biggest problem because of the radicalization 435 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: of their application, and that is Islam. Hitchens, the British writer, speaker, influencer, 436 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: a personal great influence for all those years, took on 437 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: Islam very aggressively. But he went back to the neighborhood 438 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: where he had grown up in England and he noted 439 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: that in only twenty years it had changed such that 440 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: he did not recognize it. Nothing about it was the same. 441 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: The buildings were the same, but the people had completely changed, 442 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: And he asked, where did they go? Where did the 443 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: white people go? Elon Musk has been showing data that 444 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: shows white reproduction levels and how low they are across 445 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: the country. Now he's certainly doing his part to fix 446 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: that problem, but it's an interesting phenomenon. And when you 447 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: look at England and you look at the UK and 448 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: what those numbers have done, you can see that in 449 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: the United States. So the question becomes, should we be 450 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: afraid of people who do not look like us? Should 451 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: white people be afraid of people who do not look 452 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: like us? To what extent well, all non white people 453 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: are not the same. Where are they from. I saw 454 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: a story in News of a Muslim Man immigrant who 455 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: had raped a young girl. She was like ten or 456 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: eleven years old, and the Muslim rapists lawyer argued in 457 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: court that he should not be prosecuted, should not be 458 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: found guilty because in his culture this was acceptable and 459 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: he didn't understand American culture. That is the most damning 460 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: thing you can say, because if that is true, then 461 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: we shouldn't let anybody in from that country, because we 462 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: can't even appeal to their better selves. In Finland, they 463 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: did a PSA on their television state television stations of 464 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: white women saying Muslim men, this is what's acceptable and 465 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: what's not. And they made a stupid song about it, 466 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: and they basically in the song, you can't grab our boob, 467 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: you can't grab us between the legs. If you're allowing 468 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: people into your country that you have to explain this to, 469 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: you've got a lot bigger problem than rape. You're suicidal 470 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 1: if there is no universality of values that are shared 471 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: by other cultures with regard to you don't have sex 472 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: with children, you don't rape women. Any group of people 473 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: who cannot understand that. I don't care how many of 474 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: them live in my country and how many people you 475 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: want to pander to. That cannot be allowed, period, end 476 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: of story. The lawyer did not argue that this guy 477 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: was an outlier in his culture. He said, in his culture, 478 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: that is the case. When people tell you who they are, 479 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: believe them. When people tell you who they are, believe them. 480 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: The same woman with Politico asked President Trump if he 481 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: would rule out a ground invasion of Venezuela, and he said, 482 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: and I think rightfully so this should always be the policy. 483 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 1: Is not going to discuss military strategy with Politico. If 484 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: in fact we are going to invade and put troops 485 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: on the ground, the last thing we're going to do 486 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: is tip them off as to anything that might be 487 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: helpful in them preparing for it. We don't want another 488 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: bay of pigs. But this time we're sending our boys, 489 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: and this time we're sending our material, our arsenal. I'm 490 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: not suggesting that we should. I'm just saying, if we do, 491 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: I certainly don't want our boys compromised.
