1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, luck and loud. 2 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 2: The Michael Very Show is on the air. 3 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: Further to our conversation about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Boy, 4 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: this is an important one. We need Pete in there 5 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: to reform our military. I have so many listeners. Feels 6 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: like almost every day that somebody will say, pray for 7 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: my daughter, pray for my son. Here's a picture of 8 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: me and him, or me and her. They just got 9 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: through boot camp, they just signed up. And I always 10 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: cringe because in the back of my mind, I think, 11 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: out of an abundance of patriotism, innocence and goodness is 12 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: that young person. It makes me very emotional willing to 13 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: give all that they have at this young age. They've 14 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: not accumulated wealth, They've typically not accumulated a spouse and children, 15 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: a business and equity. No greater love hath any man 16 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: than to lay down his life for a friend. They 17 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: are giving the only thing they have, their life for 18 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: this nation. 19 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 2: That's deep. That's deep. 20 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: And I have to ask myself who are the people 21 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: in charge of whether they go to war and how 22 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: they go to war? Because I have not trusted those 23 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: people for a very long time, and I would like 24 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: to think we're going to find out how screwed up 25 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: our military is when we're attacked by China. We're going 26 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: to find out. We're already finding out, but we're going 27 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: to find out that our military is like the LA 28 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: Fire Department, some good people serving with some inep leadership 29 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: making it a whole lot harder. And I don't want 30 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: to lose a war to find out how long they've 31 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: been screwing up. And I believe Pete Hegseth will give 32 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: everything he's got to fixing our defense department to fixing 33 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: our military so that your sons and daughters and sisters 34 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: and brothers and husbands and wives and parents can serve 35 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: with honor and dignity and the full support of this. 36 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: Country behind them. That's what I want. 37 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: Angus King is the dufus out of Maine who asked 38 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth if he's supported torture Democrat, Angus King, Ainus 39 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: or Angus Romo. Listen to Pete Hegs's response, Enator. 40 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 2: How we treat our wounded, how we treat our prisoners. 41 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: The applications of the Juvenia Conventions are incredibly important, but 42 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: we would all have to acknowledge that the way we 43 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 3: fought our wars back when the Geneva convictions were written 44 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 3: are a lot different than the asymmetric, non conventional environment 45 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: of counterinsurgency that I confronted in Iraq and Afghanistan. I 46 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: was the senior counterinsurgency instructor in Afghanistan. My job was 47 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 3: to understand how the Taliban and al Qaeda operated so 48 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: that NATO units coming in could be informed of what 49 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 3: was happening. They knew our rules of engagement and when 50 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: they were more restrictive, they took advantage of them, and 51 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: it put our men and women in a more dangerous 52 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 3: and difficult place. 53 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: You believe the future wars we fight. 54 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: We need to have someone atop the pentagon, Sir, who 55 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: understands how those ripple effects. 56 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: I just want to. 57 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 4: Understand your position. Your position is torture is okay? Is 58 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 4: that correct? Waterboarding? Torture is no longer prohibited given the 59 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: circumstances of whatever war we're in. 60 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: Is that correct? Enator? 61 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: That is not what I said. I've never been party 62 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: to torture. We are a country that fights by the 63 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: rule of. 64 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: Law, and our men and women always do, and yet 65 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: we have. 66 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: Too many people here in air conditioned offices that like 67 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: to point fingers at the guys in dark and dangerous 68 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 3: places in the gals in helicopters in unanomy territory who 69 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: are doing things the people in Washington, D C. 70 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: Would never dare to do. 71 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: Senator Tim Sheehey asked Pete Hegseth today during the committee hearings, 72 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: how many genders are there?

I 80 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: think we can shut this thing down and move on. 81 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: What do you say, Don't act like if it was 82 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: five sets of forty seven.

Now, why does that matter? Well, I'll 85 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: tell you something. Let me give you a football analogy. 86 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: Dimiko Ryans, the head coach of the Houston Texas Demiko 87 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: relatively recently played professional football linebacker for those same Texans. 88 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: He still looks like he could suit up. And when 89 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: he talks to the players, he talks to them he's 90 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: what's who as a player's coach. And I'm not saying 91 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: that's necessarily the best way to be all the time 92 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: for every coach, but you can see how those players respond, 93 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: and they respond to a guy who understands what they're 94 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: going through. Who understands what it's like to get all 95 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: this money as a kid, No, I won't be making 96 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: money later. I got to spend this money wisely and 97 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: save it. Who understands the threats, the challenges, the seductions 98 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: that are now all of a sudden thrown at your feet, 99 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: and how dangerous they can be. Who understands the temptation 100 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: to go out to the strip club after the game 101 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: when you need to go to bed and get ready 102 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: for film tomorrow.

But here he was telling our 132 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: friend Jack Pisobic how our military became the woke mess 133 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: it is today. And it sounds a lot like what's 134 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: gone wrong with New York government and why they can't 135 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: handle their subways, their. 136 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: Streets or anything else. 137 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: And what's gone wrong in Los Angeles that it's laid 138 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: bare once you got a fire in some heavy wins. 139 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: This is when the bill comes due for the indulgence 140 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: tax that is put on people who think that it 141 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: doesn't matter about personnel and policy. You just try to 142 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: put non white males in every position on the basis 143 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: that equity is somehow an end goal. Here's Pete Hegseeth 144 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: with a clear understanding of the challenge before him. 145 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,359 Speaker 3: And that's why you saw most of the more aggressive 146 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,239 Speaker 3: actions of the Obama administration happened in the second. 147 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: Half of the second term. 148 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: He didn't do it right away because he knew institutionally 149 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 3: he could not so take something for like women in 150 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 3: combat roles, for example, which rolled out in twenty fourteen 151 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 3: into twenty fifteen. That was would have been an extremely 152 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 3: controversial topic eight years before that, in the middle of 153 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: a shooting war, when there was a recognition that men 154 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 3: and women are different, and that you know, bone density 155 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: and lung capacity and muscle. 156 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 2: Mass are different, and oh, adding. 157 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: The variable of women into all male units in the 158 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 3: front lines might add some complicating factors. But by twenty fifteen, 159 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, you had a Secretary of the Navy and 160 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: Ray Mavis and other services, especially the Air Force in 161 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: the army, they just laid down. They didn't even try 162 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: to fight, They said, okay. At least the Marine Corps 163 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 3: conducted a study and they studied four hundred male Marines 164 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 3: versus three hundred male Marines and one hundred female Marines. 165 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: And no surprise, after months of study, the all male 166 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 3: unit massively outperformed the mixed gender unit. 167 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 2: But what did the Secretary of the Navy do at 168 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: that point, because. 169 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: He knew who his handlers were, threw the study out 170 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: and said, I don't care integrate every single billet. And 171 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: that's the type of mindset that takes hold everywhere. It's 172 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 3: not about standards and lethality and accountability and meritocracy. It's 173 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: about what do my political handlers demand based on some 174 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: societal objective that does not align with the most effective 175 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: fighting force. And that's where they advocate their response ability. 176 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 2: They abdicate their oath. 177 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: But they've been well placed to be the types of 178 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: people that already want to advocate or are willing to 179 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 3: because they're cowers with stars on their shoulders, and they 180 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 3: and they go along to get along. They want to 181 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: make the next rank, and then they want their spot 182 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: on the defense, on the board of the defense contractor 183 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 3: after that, and they want to be liked by the 184 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: chattering class. So there's a careers im problem involved in 185 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 3: all of it too, But it was set up by 186 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: systematically creating, as you said, different types of incentives. 187 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: And now are we here, We are in Biden, and 188 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: it's a straight off CRT. 189 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: DEI gender based right out of. 190 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: A Marxist playbook. 191 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 5: If you wanted to remake an institution and destroy a country, 192 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 5: If you've had any experience with government, whether it be city, county, 193 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 5: state government, even in Texas this is going on universities. 194 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: If you've had any experience, you know what he's talking 195 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: about right there. And I'm gonna tell you some they 196 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: have so these these monsters have so insinuated themselves up 197 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: and down the ranks of every organization. That's why they're 198 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: never disciplined for this nonsense, because the people above them 199 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: are just like them. 200 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: They recruit other people. 201 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Just like them, They reward each other just like them. 202 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: But what I love about Pete Hexeth, and I think 203 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has shown the way is first you've got 204 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: to explain how big this mountain is to climb and 205 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: why it's important that we climb it. But then you've 206 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: got to be confident and willing to climb the mountain. 207 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: And that's what I love here he is telling Sean 208 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: Ryan on the Sean Ryan Show. We do have a 209 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: chance to course correct. 210 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 2: There's a chance to course correct it. 211 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: But it would take the Trump administration going after it 212 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: really hard. 213 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: How would they correct it? Well, first of all, you 214 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 2: got a fire. 215 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 3: You got to fire the Chairman and Joint chiefs, and 216 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: you got to fire this. I mean obviously gonna bring 217 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: in any Secretary Defense, but any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, 218 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: that was involved in any of the DEI woke. 219 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: It's gotta go. 220 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: Either you're in for war fighting that and that's it. 221 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: That's the only litmus test we care about. You got 222 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 3: to get deis CRT out of military academy so you're 223 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: not training young officers to be baptized in this type 224 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: of thinking. And then, you know, whatever the standards, whatever 225 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 3: the combat standards were saying, I don't know nineteen ninety five, 226 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: let's just make those the standards. And as far as 227 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: recruiting to hire the guy that you know, did top 228 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: gun Maverick and create some real ads that motivate people. 229 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: That want to serve. 230 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 3: And there's lots of other ways in which you could 231 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: identify who gets promoted and what, but there's an ethos changed. 232 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a reason where not people don't want 233 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 3: to serve because they don't trust that their senior leaders 234 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 3: are going to have their best interest in mind in combat. 235 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 3: I know the room mistakes made on our tours all 236 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 3: over the place, but I, at least for the most part, 237 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: had a sense that my senior leaders were committed to 238 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 3: the completion of the mission for the right reasons. And 239 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 3: maybe there were strategic differences and all that other stuff, 240 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: and it wasn't always perfect, but I and that trust 241 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: is broken and you have to re establish that trust 242 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: by putting in no nonsense warfighters in those positions who 243 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: aren't going to cater to the socially correct garbage. 244 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: That's what I want to hear. That's what we need 245 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: more of. That's what we need more of. I meant 246 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: to get to this yesterday, but we were on forest 247 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: fires yesterday. These are very, very busy news days, so 248 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't get to every story i'd like to. Jd 249 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: Vance was on Fox News Sunday and he was preparing you, folks, 250 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: you see these stories. We had ten in Santa Monica 251 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: Police Department arrested ten different criminals. Most of them are 252 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: legal aliens who were setting fires there. They had burglary 253 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: tools and fire tools. What they're doing is they go 254 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: set a fire in a community, they wait on the 255 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: people to flee. Oh, it's come to our neighborhood, so 256 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: they run out, and then they scoot in and steal 257 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: all the stuff and get away before anybody can get 258 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: there because all the police and fire are distracted. We've 259 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: got to get these people out of our country. We've 260 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: got to deport them. Here is we'll take this to 261 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: the break. Jad Evans on Fox News Sunday, laying it 262 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: out what's going to happen, folks, This is what's going 263 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: to happen. 264 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 6: Two are humanitarian activists and others who are worried about 265 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 6: these deportations, saying families are going to be separated, people 266 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 6: are going to be put intense and in terrible conditions. 267 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 6: They have real concerns about the way you plan to 268 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 6: actually meet out those things. 269 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: You're planning to do. 270 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, so this term is something going to hear a 271 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 7: lot in the next couple of months, the next couple 272 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 7: of years. Shannon family separation. I think it's important. That's 273 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 7: a euphemism, that is a dishonest term to hide behind 274 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 7: the fact that Joe Biden has not done border enforcement. 275 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 7: If you say, for example, in the United States, we 276 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 7: have a guy who's convicted of a violent crime and 277 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 7: has to go to prison, we want that guy to 278 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 7: go to prison. But yes, it does mean that that 279 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 7: guy is going to be separated. 280 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: From his family. 281 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 7: That is the consequence of committing violence upon your fellow citizens. 282 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 7: If you come into this country illegally, you need to 283 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 7: go back home. 284 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: Here's what jad Van said. 285 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: He did it on Fox News Sunday, but he was 286 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: a little more far reaching, more magazine style, and I 287 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: thought it was really well done. I really like when 288 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: he holds forth on policy because he's incredibly well informed 289 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: and thoughtful on these issues. He knows what he knows, 290 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: he knows what he doesn't know, and he's comfortable with 291 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: both of those, and he tries to learn what he 292 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: doesn't know, and he's unafraid to tell you what he 293 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: does know. And we don't have enough of that in 294 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: leadership in America today at all levels. So here he 295 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: is talking about Joe Biden and he says, look, I 296 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: wish about the guy the best, but he left us 297 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: a dumpster fire. This is important to point out because 298 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: this is the same thing as Jimmy Carter was such 299 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: a nice guyff No, No, he wasn't. 300 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 2: Stop saying that. 301 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: He called Donald Trump an illegitimate president. That makes him 302 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: an election denier. That means he is denying your vote 303 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: and the effort you made to help Donald Trump win 304 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: the office. And he was ninety two when he said that, 305 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: in more than lucid, So don't tell me, well he 306 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: was catatonic by then. Nope, Nope, he was catatonic when 307 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: he voted. Supposedly Anyway, here's what JD. 308 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: Van said. I wish Shoe Biden all the. 309 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 7: Best, but the fact is he has less left us 310 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 7: dumpster fire now, not just at the border, but also 311 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 7: with the economy. First of all, we nope, the prices 312 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,959 Speaker 7: are way too high for many Americans. We have to 313 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 7: work every single day to stabilize prices for American families. 314 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 7: But Shannon, everything that he's bragging about ignores the fact 315 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 7: that he has added trillions and trillions of dollars to 316 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 7: the federal debt during a time of peace. He has 317 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 7: left us with bond yields, meaning how are we going 318 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 7: to finance that debt? 319 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: We have to sell. 320 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 7: Treasury bonds, and the treasury bonds have gotten more expensive 321 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 7: because of Joe Biden's policies, So. 322 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: You go issue after issue. 323 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 7: Oil prices are now shooting through the roof in the 324 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 7: final two months of Joe Biden's administration, in part because 325 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 7: of decisions that Joe Biden has made over. 326 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: The last few weeks. 327 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 7: He actually hasn't left the American people in good economic condition. 328 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 7: That's why they made Donald J. Trump the President elector 329 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 7: of the United States. So we've got a lot of 330 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 7: work to do. I remain fundamentally and you know the Shannon, 331 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 7: I'll always be an optimist about our country, but I 332 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 7: think that that optimism has to. 333 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: Start with a bit of realism. 334 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 7: I truth is that Joe Biden has left us a 335 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 7: dumpster fire. Donald Trump is going to have to put 336 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 7: it out, but he's good at doing that. 337 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: Speaking of fires, let's move to five h five Vermon. 338 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: The conversation turned to the Los Angeles fires. Jd Vance said, Look, 339 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: some of these water reservoirs, they've been dry for fifteen 340 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: to twenty years. These people have allowed this problem to 341 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: persist for a long time. 342 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 7: We have to do a better job. We need competent, 343 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 7: good governance. Now that doesn't mean you can't criticize the 344 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 7: governor of California for I think some very bad decisions 345 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 7: over a very long period of time. I mean, some 346 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 7: of these reservoirs have been dry for fifteen twenty years. 347 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 7: The fire hydrants are being reported as going dry while 348 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 7: the fire fighters are trying to put out these fires. 349 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 7: There is this serious lack of competent governance in California, 350 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 7: and I think it's part of the reason why these 351 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 7: fires have gotten so bad. We need do a better 352 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 7: job at both the state and federal level. 353 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Then he was asked about presidential pardons for January sixth protesters. 354 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: And my position is a pardon for every single person. 355 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: They have paid enough already. 356 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: January sixth pardons. 357 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 6: President Trump says, there's a process, where is the line 358 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 6: drawn and who will and wouldn't be considered for a pardon. 359 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: I think it's very simple. 360 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 7: Look, if you protested peacefully on January the sixth, and 361 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 7: you've had Merritt Garland's Department of Justice treat you like 362 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 7: a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed 363 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 7: violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. 364 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 2: And there's a little bit of a gray area there. 365 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 2: But we're very much. 366 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 7: Committed to seeing the equal administration of law. And there 367 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 7: are a lot of people, we think in the wake 368 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 7: of January the sixth, who were prosecuted unfairly. 369 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: We need to rectify that that is correct. 370 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: And then we go back to the Hamas issue, the 371 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: terrorist organization, and Hamas is a terrorist. 372 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: Organization, there's no doubt about that. 373 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: And these pro Hamas protests in this country that have 374 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: taken over the streets of New York and many of 375 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: the campuses. That is a pro terrorist protest. Let's be 376 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: very clear what that is that there is no gray 377 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: area there here he is. This is five h six Tremont. 378 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: President Trump warned Hamas that if the hostages are not 379 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: returned before he takes office, quote, all hell will break loose. 380 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: J d Vansk was asked, what does that look like? 381 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: First of all, Steve woo Koff is a great guy. 382 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 7: He's doing a great job over there, and I think 383 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 7: the president, if you talk to world leaders, it's very 384 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 7: clear that President Trump threatening Hamas and making it clear 385 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 7: that there is going to be hell to pay as 386 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 7: part of the reason why we've made progress on getting 387 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 7: some hostages out. We're hopeful there's going to be a 388 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 7: deal that's struck towards the fair the end of Biden's administration, 389 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 7: maybe the last day or two. 390 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 2: But regardless of when that deal is. 391 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 7: Struck, it will be because people are terrified that there 392 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 7: are going to be consequences for Hamas. 393 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: Now what does that look like? 394 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 7: I think Number one, it means enabling the Israelis to 395 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 7: knock out the final couple of battalions of Hamas and 396 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 7: their leadership. It means very aggressive sanctions and financial penalties 397 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 7: on those who are supporting terrorist organizations in the Middle East. 398 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 7: It means actually doing the job of American leadership. 399 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: Man, those are the kind of words I like to hear. 400 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: That is music to my ears. Meanwhile, Biden advisor Jake 401 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Sullivan was on CNN with the other idiot, Jake Tapper, 402 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: and he makes the wild claim that the American people 403 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: are safer and the country is better off than four 404 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: years ago. These people, you have to admire one thing. 405 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: They can look you dead in the eye and do 406 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: the old Eddie Murphy Jedi mind trick when the guy's 407 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: caught in bed with another woman by his wife and 408 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: just claims that wasn't me. And then when she said, yeah, 409 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: well I don't love her. Like these people that they 410 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: are capable of saying literally anything without laughing, and you 411 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: have to just sit there going, I can't believe you 412 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: really just said that. I mean, it's Hitler telling you 413 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: he loves the Jews kind of thing. You can't believe 414 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: they're actually saying this. 415 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 8: Listen this as we come to the waiting days of 416 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 8: the Biden administration, where across the globe, could you point 417 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 8: and say the United States is safer because of what 418 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 8: we did here. 419 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 9: Well, I'd start by saying, our alliances are stronger than 420 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 9: we found them four years ago. They're stronger than they've 421 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 9: been in decades. NATO is more powerful, purposeful, and bigger. 422 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 9: Our alliances in the Asia Pacific are at all time highs, 423 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 9: and our adversaries and competitors are weaker across the board. 424 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 9: Russia's weaker, Iran's weaker, China's weaker, and all the while 425 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 9: we kept America out of war. So I think the 426 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 9: American people are safer and the country is better off 427 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 9: than we were four years ago, and we're handing all 428 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 9: that off to the next team, as well as having 429 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 9: the engines of American power humming our economy or technology, 430 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 9: our defense, industrial base, our supply chains. So the United 431 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,239 Speaker 9: States is in a stronger, more secure position, and our 432 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 9: competitors and adversaries are weaker and under pressure. I think 433 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 9: that's the main handoff that we will make to be 434 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 9: becoming quicker. 435 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm so thankful, I'm healthier, happier, Richard, I 436 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: didn't realize, Well, we have our first set openly transgender congressman. 437 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: That's a dude pretending to be a woman. His name 438 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: is Tim McBride, but now he calls himself Sarah McBride. Well, 439 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: as you might imagine, old Tim, the new congressman from Delaware. 440 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 1: His whole job is to draw attention from himself, so 441 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: he'll get more speaking gigs. He'll be on the front 442 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: cover of magazines. That's what you do. That's the only 443 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: thing he's got going for him. He's a dude who 444 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: claims to be a man. So I'm a live and 445 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: let live guy. But that's not what we're doing here. 446 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't just want to be a dude that lives 447 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: as a woman. In his trailer, he wants to go 448 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: to your kid's school and tell your kids that they're 449 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: all little boys who want to be girls. So Tim 450 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: goes to a elementary school to read to the kids 451 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: because apparently that's very important to him. Didn't take long 452 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: once he got to Congress, did it? 453 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 2: Oh? Timmy read a book called I Am Jazz. 454 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: This is a book by Jazz Jennings, a YouTuber who 455 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: was a dude who. 456 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 2: Transitioned into a woman. 457 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: In the book chronicles his life as a transgender child, 458 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: and wouldn't you know it, it's made out to be 459 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: a wonderful thing. So maybe some of you little boys 460 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: in here would like to do it as well. 461 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 10: So I am going to read you I Am Jazz 462 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 10: by Jessica Hurfell and Jazz Jennings. 463 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: I have a girl brain but a boy body. This 464 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: is called transgender. I was born this fight. 465 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 10: Then one amazing day everything changed. Mom and Dad took 466 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 10: me to meet a new doctor who asked me lots 467 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 10: and lots of questions. Afterwards, the doctor spoke to my 468 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 10: parents and I heard the word transgender for the very 469 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 10: first time. 470 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: Mom and Dad told me I could. 471 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 10: Start wearing girl clothes to school and growing my hair long. 472 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 10: They even let me change my name to Jazz. 473 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 2: I don't mind being different. Different is special. But can 474 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 2: I tell you what I like most about this bubble? 475 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 10: I like most the story and the message because I. 476 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 2: Want to tell you a little bit about myself. Is 477 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: that okay? So I'm like Jazz. 478 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 10: When I was born, the doctors. 479 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 2: And my parents they all thought that I was a boy. 480 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 10: But why well, because society people around them told them 481 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 10: that was the piece. 482 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 2: But it took me, getting at a little bit older, 483 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 2: to be able to say. 484 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 10: That in my heart and in my mind I knew 485 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 10: I was really a girl, and I was very lucky 486 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 10: like Jazz to have parents who loved me and say 487 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 10: that I can be whoever I want to be. 488 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: So I was finally able to be myself. 489 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: Oh great, and remember kids dressed nicely tomorrow because Charlie 490 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: Manson's going to come and talk about how he started 491 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: as a normal kid, but then he encouraged the girls 492 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: in his hairm to stab a pregnant woman in her house.
