1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: The Iran prisoner swap. It's happened, my friends. How much

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: did it cost us? More than a billion dollars per

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: American who are now on their way back to the

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: United States of America. Yes, I am very happy as

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: we saw the images of the Americans walking off the

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: plane in Qatar, and these five Americans who spent years

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: in prison in Iran were freed on Monday as part

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: of a complex diplomatic deal That's what the White House

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: described it as with the United States of America and Iran.

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: Now these hostages who were flown out of Tehran to

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: Qatar are now flying back to Washington, d C. On

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: a US government plane as part of the deal. The

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Biden administration also unfroze This is paying ransom, whether they

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: want to lie to you or not, that's what this is.

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: We unfroze nearly six billion in oil revenue that have

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: been held in South Korea since twenty eighteen. The Iranian

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: Foreign minister said two of the Iranian prisoners held in

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: the United States planned to stay in the US and

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: two planned to return to Iran, and one would go

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: to a different country where family lived. Those are the

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: ones we exchanged with Iran for our American citizens, and

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: by the way, we paid over a billion dollars for

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: each American life. President Biden said in a statement, five

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: innocent Americans who were imprisoned in Iran are finally coming home.

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to our partners at home and abroad for

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: their tireless efforts to help us achieve this outcome, including

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: the governments of Qatar, Oman, Switzerland, and South Korea. Now,

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: these five Americans that were being held in Iran as

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: part of this prisoner swap deal. Of course, the US

30
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: government wants you to believe that this was not a

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: pay ransom plot. It is, however, because we unfroze a

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: seven billion of Iran's oil revenue that had been held

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: for years. The five Iranian systems being held in the

34
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: US were also released in this exchange. They didn't give

35
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: us any money or unfreeze any assets or anything like

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: that at all. So this was clearly a one sided deal.

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: This is a president, by the way, that promised we

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: weren't going to pay right, we weren't going to pay

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: ransom for Americans. Well we now know he will pay

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: more than a billion dollars per American that we left

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: behind now. The prisoners we also have been told they

42
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: felt like they were left behind to rot in an

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Iranian prison. One of the men who had been detained

44
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: in Tehran since twenty fifteen, while visiting family, wrote a

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: New York Times op ed in June of last year

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: entitled I'm an American? Why have I been left to rot?

47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: As a hostage of Iran?

48
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Now?

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: USA Today did an extensive kind of look into this

50
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: man and and the details of what living in this

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: Iranian prison was actually like. Now, this hostage when he

52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: told his story in this op ed, said it was

53
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: horrendous how he was treated, especially early on, saying this

54
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: quote often. I was kept in a bare closet size room.

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: He slept on the floor, he said, and received food

56
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: from under the door, just like he was a dog.

57
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: He said.

58
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: He endured unutterable indignities during the twenty seven months he

59
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: spent in that corner of hell before being moved.

60
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: To the general ward.

61
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: He pleaded to President Biden for help, according to USA Today,

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: writing in a message shared by his lawyer, saying this

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: all I want, sir, is one min of your day's

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: time for the next seven days devoted to thinking about

65
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: the tribulations of the US hostages in Iran. Well, this

66
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: is going to be treated by the media, by the way,

67
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: as a big victory for the Biden A minister. Obviously,

68
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad that these Americans are back. What I'm not

69
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: happy about is the fact that we have paid more

70
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: than a billion dollars per hostage, and that means that

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: others around the world are going to end up taking

72
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: more American hostages when they can, because they know the

73
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 1: Biden administration will pay now ransom now Biden, of course,

74
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: the White House not letting any of that just disappoint

75
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: their media day and the families of the five Americans

76
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: freed from the from Iran spoke to President Biden on Monday.

77
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: According to the family members of those who had been released,

78
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: CBS News report that Biden a national security advisor Jake Sullivan,

79
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: spoke with all five families on the same call for

80
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: just under ten minutes. Biden told the families he started

81
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: the process to bring their loved ones home when he

82
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: took office in twenty twenty.

83
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: Now.

84
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: The breakdown of the US sanctions on Iran is also

85
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: another part of the story that's not been covered. The

86
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: prisoner swap was underway, there was something else that happened.

87
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: The United States announced on Monday that it has been

88
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: that it has imposed quote news sanctions on Iran's intelligence

89
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: ministry and the former president over the disappearance of Bob Levinson,

90
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: who's a former FBI agent who disappeared in Iran in

91
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: mysterious circumstances and is presumed dead. Iran is already one

92
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: of the world's most sanctioned countries, and AFP had to

93
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: break down of those sanctions that they published this morning.

94
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: And let's go back so you understand the history of

95
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: this country. If you go back to the Iranian hostage

96
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: crisis back in April of nineteen eighty, that was midway

97
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: through that four hundred and forty four day hostage crisis

98
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: of the US embassy in Tehran. Washington not only broke

99
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: off diplomatic relations with Iran and imposed restrictions on commerce

100
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: and travel, but fifteen years later, then President Bill Clinton

101
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: announced a complete ban on trade and investment in Iran,

102
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: accusing of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and supporting terrorism.

103
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: To this day, nearly all US trade with Iran is banned,

104
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: from oil to cars, to carpet and even food. There

105
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: are some exceptions, as well as medicine and humanitarian goods.

106
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: Then you look at the arms race.

107
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: The US continues to ban the trade of all weapons

108
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: with Iran, even though they have plenty of weapons at

109
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: their disposal. Three years after a US arms and UN

110
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: excuse me, arms embargo on Iran expired. The UN embargo

111
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: ran out under the terms of an international deal on

112
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: curbing Iran's nuclear program, from which then President Donald Trump

113
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: withdrew from in twenty eighteen. But the US continues to

114
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: sanction any individual entity in the US or elsewhere that

115
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: trades weapons with Iran. And then you've got the financial

116
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: aspect as well. The US blox Iranian government assets in

117
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: the United States and banns US companies from engaging in

118
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: business with Iran central bank. It also bans American banks

119
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: from serving as intermediaries in the transfer of funds to Iran,

120
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: and in twenty eighteen, the Trump administration expanded the sanctions

121
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: to foreign institutions that do business with Iran's central bank.

122
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: They risk losing access to the US financial system if

123
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: they try to go around this.

124
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: And then there's the issue of oil.

125
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: After having already banned oil exports to the United States Washington,

126
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six enacted a law also sanctioning foreign

127
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: companies that invest in Iran's oil sector, the country's top

128
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: foreign exchange earner.

129
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: For them. Without it, they're poor.

130
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, the US lifted exemptions that it allowed

131
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: eight countries, including Turkey and India, to continue purchasing Iranian oil,

132
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: causing a collapse in the Iranian oil exports. But don't worry,

133
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's back and off and now everything's fine and Iran.

134
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: There was also a big lie. It was a massive

135
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: lie that was told. The White House said that the

136
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: money that we had given them access to, this six

137
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: billion dollars, right, more than a billion per person American

138
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: that we got back, is what they received in this

139
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: deal was only going to be used for quote, humanitarian

140
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: reasons or humanitarian purposes.

141
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: We also know now that that is a lie.

142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: The Iranian president said, they'll use the money for whatever

143
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the hell they want to laughing at this idea, right,

144
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean literally laughing at the idea that we or

145
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: that they were going to be told where they could

146
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: and could not spend the six billion dollars that they

147
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: just got their hands on. But First, I want to

148
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: tell you about a company that I really want you

149
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: to check out. Every day we hear about another familiar

150
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: brand that sells out their customers and is going on.

151
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Americans like me and you're probably one of them, are

152
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: sick and tired of having leftist propaganda jammed into every

153
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: product that we consume. Well, woke mobile companies are no different.

154
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: The company that you're paying your bill to right now

155
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: may be giving major donations to Planned Parenthood, for example,

156
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: and for years they've been dumping millions of these liberal

157
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: causes and we had to take it because you need

158
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,239
Speaker 1: a cell phone and probably thought there was no alternative.

159
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,480

180
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: that we also have to talk about, and that is, now,

181
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: how many more Americans are going to be taken hostage

182
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: because we just paid all of this money. Now, while

183
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: President Biden is being hailed as a hero for the

184
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: return of these Americans that have been imprisoned, and Iran

185
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Republicans also on Capitol Hill are lashing out this deal saying, quote,

186
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: this is a hostage swap for six billion. That's what

187
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: represented Michael McCall, a Republican from Texas and chairman of

188
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: the House Foreign Relations Committee, said on Fox and He said, quote,

189
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: and guess where it's going to go. It's going to

190
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: go into terror proxy operations. He's absolutely right. Even Senator

191
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney, who I rarely agree with, also characterized the

192
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: deal as a hostage swap, warning that the exchange could

193
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: lead to more kidnappings of American citizens. Quote The idea

194
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: basically paying to release in this effect a hostage is

195
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: a terrible idea, Romney said to The Hill newspaper. Republicans

196
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: are also lashing out at Biden over the deal as

197
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: a I the Democrat, is the number one threat to

198
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: national security. This is a hostage swap for six billion,

199
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: is what another Republican said. And former President Donald Trump,

200
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: the front runner in the twenty twenty four Republican primary,

201
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: criticized Biden with the deal was announced last week, saying quote,

202
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: can you believe that Crooked Joe Biden is giving six

203
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: billion to the terrorist regime in Iran? The money can

204
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: be used for terrorism all over the Middle East and

205
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: indeed the world. This incompetent fool, all capital letters is

206
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: absolutely destroying America. Trump wrote on True Social adding he

207
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: had the audacity to announce this terrible deal today. It

208
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: happened on September the eleventh. To pay for hostages will

209
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: lead to kidnapping, ransom, and blackmail against Americans across the globe.

210
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Now I'm glad these Americans are coming back in general,

211
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: I really am. I want to make that clear. But

212
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: this idea that this is a good thing, it's not.

213
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: It's not a good thing for this country, and it's

214
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: certainly not a good thing for the world because now

215
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: Americans are worth even more. And what the Biden administration

216
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: is said is we, as Americans, okay, are willing to

217
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: pay you if you take Americans, and we're willing to

218
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: give you a lot of money. Let me also remind

219
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: you about the announcement of this happened on nine to eleven.

220
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: Why well, listen to what Scott Kirby had to say

221
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: about that.

222
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: John Kirby told me, essentially, the dates are a coincidence.

223
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: Not tied to nine to eleven, not tied to the

224
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: You and General Assembly, simply tied to the hard work

225
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: over months and months and months by diplomats to secure

226
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 3: this release.

227
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: You're telling me that nobody at the State Department, the

228
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: DoD or the White House looked at the calendar when

229
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: announcing that we're going to send six billion dollars to Iran,

230
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: the number one killer of Americans after nine to eleven

231
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: in Iraq and Afghanistan, who were making sure that there

232
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: was safe haven in safe harbor for terrorists to go

233
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: in and out of those countries. You're telling me that

234
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: you no one said, hey, we probably shouldn't give six

235
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: million dollars to Iran on the same day as nine

236
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: to eleven. To be clear, i Ran supports terrorism around

237
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: the world. Iran supports Hesblah, Iran supports Hamas, Iran supports

238
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: al Qaeda and ISIS. Iran supports the most extreme fighters

239
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: in the world. They have no problem with it. They

240
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: still to this day chant death to America. And you

241
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: just gave them back six billion dollars. Let's also remember that,

242
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: if you're forty or forty one or above, this is

243
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: the same country that held American hostages in our embassy

244
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: for four hundred and forty four days in our lifetime.

245
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: And so now we're sitting here seeing them six billion

246
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: dollars and Scott Kirby's like, oh, no, no, there was,

247
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: there was, There was not tied to nine to eleven.

248
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't really. Scott Kirby was also on CNN and

249
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: had this to say about the quote takeaways from the day.

250
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: Finally, you represent, you speak for national security issues for

251
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: the White House, for this administration. How is US national

252
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 4: security better today because of this deal? And not worse off?

253
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 4: As I've heard many Republicans say.

254
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: First of all, what's really better off our five families?

255
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: So I think that's really important to remember number two.

256
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: As I said earlier, Well, we just executed more sanctions

257
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: on entities in Iran today, specifically for the offense of

258
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: wrongfully detaining Americans, And just in the last couple of weeks,

259
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: we've upped our military presence in the Gulf region. We

260
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: added some additional sanctions on Iran just a few days ago.

261
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we are holding Iran to account, and we

262
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: are mindful of our national security interests in the region,

263
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: and we're doing everything we can, not just on the

264
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: economic space, but even in the military space, to protect

265
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: our troops, to protect our interests, to protect our allies

266
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: and partners in that part of the world. No one

267
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: should take away from today's events. Any idea that we

268
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: are somehow turning a blind eye to what Iran is

269
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: doing in the region or around the world.

270
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: Not at all. Quite the contrary.

271
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: We're seeing, though, as we just saw in that video

272
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: from Iran, are Americans on their way home and families

273
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: who are going to.

274
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: I love how they wrap that up right.

275
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: You notice how they're like, oh, well, what we're seeing

276
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: is americans coming home. You need to be happy about this.

277
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: You don't need to ask any questions. We're not turning

278
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: a blind eye to what's happening and what Iran is doing. Well,

279
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: then why did you send them six billion dollars? Because

280
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: if you're not turning a blind eye and you're looking

281
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: at what they're doing, you would know this is a

282
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: regime that you do not give six billion dollars too.

283
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: John Kirby on the Iran swap deal also to the

284
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: regime does not get their hands on the money.

285
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: That is a lie.

286
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: Listen, speaking of President you know we've talked about this

287
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: many times before the President that critics of this agreement

288
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: or any kind of negotiation in this way have of

289
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: what they're looking at. Because what Iran often wants is

290
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: it wants it's money. So you've got six billion dollars

291
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: of Iranian money that they now regain access to for

292
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: humanitarian purposes. What can the United States do if it

293
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: is seen that they're using this money not for food,

294
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: not for medicine, for bad reasons.

295
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: Lock it back down.

296
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: We can stop a transaction. It's important to remember, Kate,

297
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 3: that the regime doesn't get the money. That they can

298
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: request a withdrawal for humanitarian goods, agricultural products, medical supplies, food,

299
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 3: and then we will run a process through which those

300
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: goods are contracted for. The Iranians don't even get to

301
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: let the contracts. We'll make sure that the contracts are

302
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: let with vendors that we know we can trust, and

303
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 3: then that material will be delivered to the Iranian people.

304
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: The Iranian regime does not get hands on this money.

305
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: Now here's the problem. Iran says they can do whatever

306
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: they want to do. The Iranian president said, they're going

307
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: to do whatever they want to do. And here's the

308
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: other thing. If you get let's just say a big

309
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we want to spend a billion dollars

310
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: on X. Well, once it gets into the hands of

311
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: the Iranian I'm sure they could probably already have a

312
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: buyer for it and sell it and get their money

313
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: that way. You don't think Iran's going to call other

314
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: countries and other broke around them and say, hey, what

315
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: do you need that is in these categories and we'll

316
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: give you ten percent off so that we get you know,

317
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: nine hundred ninety nine million, you know, and instead of

318
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: the one billion in our bank accounts. If this is

319
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: to believe, by the way, I don't believe that the

320
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: US government's not going to get screwed on this one.

321
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: I think the US government is going to always get

322
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: screwed when you're dealing with a terrorist organization. They keep saying, oh,

323
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: this is a great thing, and the Uranian regime will

324
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: never get their hands on the money. Let's be very

325
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: clear about this, They absolutely will. Democratic Representative Crow, by

326
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: the way, said the prisoner swap deal with Iran has

327
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: actually created an additional quote oversight on the six billion, not less.

328
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: This is the way they're going to spend this. I

329
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: want you to be ready for it.

330
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 5: All right, We have breaking news right now at half

331
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 5: past the hour, five Americans have been freed in a

332
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 5: prisoner swap between the US and Iran. A Katari plane

333
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: carrying them took them off took off from Tehran not

334
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 5: too long ago. According to a senior dip met in

335
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 5: the region with knowledge of the prisoner exchange, we're told

336
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: the freed prisoners are accompanied by two of their relatives

337
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 5: as well as the Katari ambassador to Iran. They are

338
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 5: reportedly in good health, but we'll get quick medical checks

339
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 5: before they head to America. This after years of negotiations

340
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 5: to bring the detainees home. In exchange for the imprisoned Americans,

341
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 5: Tehran will gain access to about six billion dollars in

342
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 5: frozen funds. For more now on this and much more.

343
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: Joining US now, Democratic Member of the House Armed Services Committee,

344
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 5: Congressman Jason Growe of Colorado. He's a US Army veteran

345
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: who served our country in both Iraq and Afghanistan. So,

346
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 5: from your many perspective in including the committees that you

347
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 5: said on, what do you make of this prisoner swap

348
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 5: from what we know so far?

349
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Well, good morning.

350
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 6: I mean, this prisoner swap is actually a good deal

351
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 6: for the United States. Number One, we don't leave our

352
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 6: people behind.

353
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: We just don't.

354
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 6: Every administration has done swaps like this.

355
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: But I love this. He's like, we don't leave our

356
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: people behind. Well you have for a while. Number one,

357
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: that's not true. We still have Americans left behind in Russia.

358
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: You guys did a prisoner swap recently in Russia, and

359
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: you decide a lesbian basketball player was more important than

360
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: an American citizen who is just a random white dude there.

361
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: So don't tell me we don't leave Americans behind. Second

362
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: thing is you said there's president here, then people do

363
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: this all the time, right like that, Oh, we do

364
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: this all the time. Give me another example of where

365
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: an American has been paid for at more than a

366
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: billion dollars in a prisoner swap. You will not find it.

367
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because it doesn't happen. It's

368
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: never happened.

369
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 6: Just to make sure we're getting US citizens out of Iran,

370
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 6: Iran does this. They take hostages and they try to

371
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 6: gain leverage. So you know, every American should know don't

372
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 6: travel to Iran because you are at risk of being

373
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: taken hostage. But there's also we have to correct a

374
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 6: misunderstanding here. These funds were not frozen funds. The United

375
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 6: States is not making this money available. This money came

376
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 6: from a fund that the prior administration that the Trump

377
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 6: administration negotiated with several countries that allowed them to purchase

378
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 6: Iranian oil in exchange for medical supplies in food and

379
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 6: medicine South Korea, and this instance did that they purchased

380
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 6: some oil and that money was allocated to food, medicine,

381
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 6: and medical supplies. This money could be spent or could

382
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 6: be sent to Iran. Today the South Koreans could do that.

383
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 6: We were able to negotiate additional restrictions on top of

384
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 6: the restrictions already in place for this money, additional restrictions

385
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 6: and oversight through the Treasury Department to make sure this

386
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 6: money is only being spent for those purposes. So this

387
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 6: deal actually created additional oversight on that money, not less.

388
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: So Congress, by the way, this is another part of

389
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: this lie here. Oh, it's more oversight, not less. There's

390
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: no because when they couldn't have the money, you didn't

391
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: need this type of oversight. The reason why you're having

392
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: to make this up now is because they have access

393
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: to the money. So you're still misleading at best, lying

394
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: in reality to the American people and to the world.

395
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: And everybody knows that Iran. The President of Ran said

396
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: we will use this money however we want. They know

397
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: how to lie, they know they know how to cheat,

398
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: they know how to steal. They're going to know how

399
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: to manipulate the system. And I promise you this money

400
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: is going to be used as six billion dollars is

401
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: not going to be used for humanitarian reasons all the time.

402
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: Some of it might sure to check a box. They

403
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: may say, oh, look what we did with this amount

404
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: of money. See everything's good, there's our cover. Meanwhile, they

405
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: funnel the money. They also know how to sell goods.

406
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Iran's not stupid. If you can take six billion, hypothetically

407
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: and turn into five billion of cash by buying six

408
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: billion and a product that somebody else wants and they

409
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: get a discount, that's a good deal because you still

410
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: got your hands on five billion dollars that you can

411
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: use however the hell you want to. Why would we

412
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: ever trust the Iranians with any of this money, knowing

413
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: what they do. You know, if you're a man or

414
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: a woman that served this country and you were blown

415
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: up by a roadside bomb, the probability that roadside bomb

416
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: came through Iran is about ninety plus percent based on

417
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: the latest data that we have. We know that many

418
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: of the jihadis used Iran as as a gate to

419
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: go in and out and back to protection, into a

420
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: protected area when they need to rest. We saw that

421
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: there were the Toyota trucks that would be going through

422
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: the desert. They would do their hits and where would

423
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: they flee to. They would flee to Iran. We have

424
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: the drone video of them crossing the border into Iran.

425
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: A Ran was harboring terrists for the entire time that

426
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: we were in Iraq and Afghanistan. And when the terrorists

427
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: knew they need to fight America, they need to bring

428
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: in new soldiers after we had invaded, where did they go.

429
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: They went to I Ran first and they said we

430
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: need your help, and Iran said sure. And that's who

431
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: he just gave all of this money too. And the

432
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: White House wants you to believe that this is no

433
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: big deal. Now, I understand why they did this deal,

434
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: and I want you to understand why they've done this deal.

435
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: They've got some problems right now.

436
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: Okay, you have the Biden impeachment inquiry, where the facts

437
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: and the emails and the suspicious astivity reports and the

438
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: whistleblowers and the meetings and the phone calls are so damning.

439
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: The White House needed a victory. Okay.

440
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: You also have the United Auto Workers that are fighting

441
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: for the the they say, the American dream, which is

442
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: work hard and play by the rules. And now they're

443
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: being squeezed out right. The Democrats were supposed to protect them.

444
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: They have not done that. Hakeem Jefferies was on TV

445
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: talking about this as the as this this has really happened.

446
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: The UAW fight is now happening in this that's happening,

447
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: and how these people are going to be have a job.

448
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: Democrats are to blame for this because they promised they

449
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: were going to get deals done that they didn't get

450
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: done if the UAW actually voted for them. This is

451
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: one of the promises in Michigan where the governor there, Whitmer,

452
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: was saying, vote for me again.

453
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: I'll hook you guys up. She lied to them.

454
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 7: Obviously.

455
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: This is happening against the backdrop.

456
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 7: Of the UAW strike.

457
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: Are you going to Detroit? Are you with the auto

458
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: workers on this?

459
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 7: I'll be heading to Detroit a little later on today,

460
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 7: looking forward to standing and solidarity with the United Auto

461
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 7: Workers who are fighting for the fundamental American dream, which

462
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 7: is quite simple. If you work hard and play by

463
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 7: the rules, you should be able to provide a comfortable

464
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 7: living for yourself, for your family, educate your children, purchase

465
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 7: a home, and one day retire with grace and dignity.

466
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 7: That's the principle upon which the United Auto Workers are

467
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 7: standing and I stand with them. Long you think this

468
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 7: is going to drag on, well, I think it's all

469
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 7: of our hope that it will end sooner rather than later.

470
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 7: But record profits have been generated, Incredible economic prosperity has

471
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 7: been generated for the corporations upon whom the UAW works with,

472
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 7: and so I think it's only fair that everyone share

473
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 7: in those record profits, in the prosperity that has been created.

474
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 7: That's a fundamental American principle. That's why we were able

475
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 7: to build in the aftermath of World War II the

476
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 7: great American middle class, and we need to keep that

477
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 7: going for everyone.

478
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: Now you hear him there talking about this, and let

479
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: me tell you, the auto workers are furious with Democrats

480
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: because everything that they promised them they lied to them about,

481
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: they played them, and now they understand that it was

482
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 1: a lie on a level that was I mean, it

483
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: was a fraud.

484
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: It was a straight up massive fraud.

485
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: They promised the UAW that if you voted for Democrats,

486
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: the Democrats were going to take care of you and

487
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: get you a good deal. And that didn't happen. Didn't happen, folks,

488
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: And the reason why it didn't happen was also very clear,

489
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: because they'll always lie to you to get your vote.

490
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: They don't give a crap. And so you put these

491
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: stories together. You have the economy that's bad. You have

492
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: high unemployment rates that we're starting to see tick up.

493
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: You see what's going on Wall Street. You see what's

494
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: happening with interest rates of twenty one year high on homes.

495
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: You see the auto workers fighting back now and now

496
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: they're on this strike that could take quite some time.

497
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: You have this hostage crisis where they're trying to spend

498
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: this to say this is a great day for America,

499
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: even though it puts more American lives at risk around

500
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: the world. Right, the six billion dollars and what does

501
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: this all come back down to comes back down to

502
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: this issue. The President of the United States of America

503
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: is looking for a distraction because the biggest issues, the

504
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: most concerning issues about impeachment are coming up. This boils

505
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: down to a present that desperately needs a change.

506
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Look it.

507
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: By the way, this and I'm going to talk about

508
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: this more tomorrow, I promise you. But Hunter Biden actually

509
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: sue is suing the IRS. He sues the IRS. He

510
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: claims the wistle blower agents quote targeted and sought to

511
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: embarrass him by discussing his tax returns. He's now suing

512
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: like they did something wrong. He filed a lawsuit against

513
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: the IRS. Legal records are now showing, and the lawsuit

514
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: alleges the agents targeted and sought to embarrass him by

515
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: discussing his tax returns. The IRS, he said, did not

516
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: create safeguards to make sure his details were kept confidential.

517
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, the President's son, filed this lawsuit against the

518
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: Internal Revenue Service. This after the special prosecutor allowed for

519
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: the statue of limitations to run out on the most

520
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: serious tax crimes, okay, the most serious tax crimes against

521
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden.

522
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: They did that on purpose.

523
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: David Weiss allowed the statue limitations on purpose to expire.

524
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,480

526
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: shocking than that is there's a chance nowadays, based on

527
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: what I've seen, that this could actually happen. There's a

528
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: real chance that this could actually happen, that they could

529
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: win a lawsuit because of what I just described. Don't

530
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,600
