Shorting us 34 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: now is Adrian Hernandez Adrian, what's moving across the map 35 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: this morning? You and I spoke off camera. These transitional 36 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: months like March, boy, they could really pop up some 37 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: serious storms. 38 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, March only started a few days ago, 39 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 5: and that's actually the technical start of meteorological spring. Brian 40 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 5: and Mother Nature is wasting absolutely no time firing up 41 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 5: some of these severe weather chances because across the nation, 42 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 5: we are going to be tracking this potential for severe 43 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 5: Whether the biggest concern for me at the very least 44 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 5: is some of the timing on some of these storms. 45 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 5: Five o'clock in the morning out to portions of Wichita, 46 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 5: we're seeing some of these showers and storms start to 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 5: flare up. They'll get real intense. Move across the Ohio Valley, 48 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 5: we're expecting to heaviest of some rainfall. Going into Friday, 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 5: will have another low pressure system moving through bringing some 50 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 5: snow up to the north. But then look at what's 51 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 5: going on as we get to Friday night, eleven o'clock 52 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 5: at night, all across the central and Southern Plains, a 53 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 5: huge line of showers and storms is expected across that region. 54 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 5: Like I was mentioning, we have several severe weather outlooks, 55 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 5: not just today, which is going to include portions of 56 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 5: Kansas and Oklahoma. The major threat will be large hail 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 5: for this outlook, But then going into Wednesday, into Thursday, 58 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 5: and then into Friday. Notice how a lot of these 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: outlooks are getting much much larger, even all the way 60 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 5: out into Friday. Notice how this looks a little bit 61 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 5: different the Storm Prediction Center when they issue some of 62 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 5: these outlooks well into advance like Friday, that just means 63 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 5: that we have a lot of confidence and seeing some 64 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 5: form of severe weather in places like Kansas, like Missouri, 65 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 5: like Oklahoma and okac is also included in this outlook, 66 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 5: so make sure you have a way to get alerts 67 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 5: if you are in this region. Of course, tuning into 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 5: Weather Nation is always a good job. It is always 69 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 5: a good spot because we are going to continue to 70 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 5: cover this potential for severe weather all the way towards 71 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 5: the end of the work week, at least for high temperatures. Today, 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 5: a lot of warmth down south one of the major 73 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 5: contributors to some of this severe some of these severe 74 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 5: weather chances, we got temperatures in the low to mid 75 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 5: eighties down in Texas, down in South Florida also hitting 76 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 5: into the eighties, and then going into Wednesday and Thursday, 77 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 5: those temperatures are going to continue to serch, so we'll 78 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 5: still have a lot of warmth, especially down south across 79 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 5: the South Central and even the deep South down in 80 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 5: South Florida as well, getting down to seventy nine degrees 81 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 5: will probably have some rainfall by the time we get 82 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 5: to that point. So yeah, Brian, of course, the best 83 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 5: thing that all of our viewers can do at this 84 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 5: point is start to tune into weather nation, because especially 85 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 5: if you're living in the South and Central Plains, things 86 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 5: are definitely going to get dodgy going into really throughout 87 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: the remainder of this work week. 88 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: In a big election day here in Texas, you've got 89 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: a big primary, So don't let the weather slow you down. 90 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: Grab an umbrella or you know, get out before the 91 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: rain hits and get that voted on this big, big Tuesday. There, Adrian, 92 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: thank you so much. We'll see it back on America Sunrise. 93 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: You got it all right. As we continue with our 94 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: top story, a new phase in the war with Uran, 95 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: US strikes now targeting are on missile networks, naval assets, 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: and even digital infrastructure, including cloud systems and AI enabled networks, 97 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: as more Americans forces move into the region. The White 98 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: House says it's about neutralizing the threat. But what is 99 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: the in state the terrence are degrading or something bigger? 100 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: And what does expanding military posture signal about the administration's 101 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: real objective? Joining US now is Brigerdalo General Robert S. Spaulding, 102 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: retired US Air Force former be Too stealth bomber pilot, 103 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: General Spawning. Welcome to the show this morning. So where 104 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: do you think this is headed. It seems like the 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: escalations getting larger, the war area is getting wider into 106 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: far more over the region. In your opinion, where's this headed? 107 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 4: Well, I think their Randium regine is in its death throws. 108 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 4: It's kind of like the end of the fireworks where 109 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 4: you have this massive explosion, and I think, but you know, 110 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 4: something in the stath throws can still be dangerous, and 111 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: so things like striking Europe and striking a data centers 112 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 4: in the region like these are things that demonstrate that 113 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 4: the regime is almost out of gas. 114 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: So do you think it's almost a desperate attempt to 115 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: just cause as much disruption as possible, Like you mentioned 116 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: the AWS center that was that wouldn't be an ONL 117 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: Bingo card of what they would target. But it looks 118 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: like there's all options that they're open to strike. No 119 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: one's off the. 120 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 4: Table, right and they're trying to basically put pressure on 121 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: the governments that are that aren't involved but could potentially 122 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: be brought to bear, to put pressure on the US 123 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: and Israel to stop it. And so I think though, 124 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: as the United States and Israel continue to take out 125 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: their missile capabilities, particularly their command and control, then they're 126 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: going to be less and less able to launch these 127 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 4: attack The things that I would think about though, that 128 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 4: could potentially come next, or either terrorists or cyber attacks. 129 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: Fiber attacks. Yeah, I was going to ask you, when 130 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: do we start to see this kind of go into 131 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: the digital world of cyber attacks and maybe taken on 132 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: a power grid. Do you see that in the forecast 133 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: as well? 134 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: I do, And in fact, the FBI issued a warning 135 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: to people to get systems offline to prepare for some 136 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: kind of attack to come from Iran. So I think 137 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: in least the United States is contemplating this and it's 138 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 4: not out of the realm of the expected. The other 139 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 4: thing is you could expect possibly to see China and 140 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 4: Russia support with cyber attacks, So it's not just probably 141 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: going to come from Iran. Their allies, the Chinese and 142 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 4: the Russians are quite upset that this is going on. 143 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,559 Speaker 1: You got the German chance today at the White House, 144 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: first time President Trump has met with any European leader 145 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: since the escalation last weekend. Uh, what do you what 146 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: do you think that that conversation will look like today? 147 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Is Germany? Would Germany look to help assist the US 148 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: in any way, uh are they where they put pressure 149 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: on President Trump in Israel to pull back? What do 150 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: you think that conversation looks like. 151 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 4: I don't really expect much help at all from Europe. 152 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 4: I think Europe is fractured. Of course, their borders have 153 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 4: been overrun. They are tremendously uncertain and insecure about their 154 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: own issues, and so I think they're just hoping to 155 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 4: keep their heads low and not be part of the 156 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 4: of the collateral damage that comes of this. 157 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, in your opinion of what our military stockpiles 158 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: look like, What's what do you think our inventory looks like? Right? 159 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: You know, I know that we have a leashed a 160 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: lot of missiles and other assets since the start of 161 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: this war. How much longer do you think we could 162 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: go without having to be in a kind of a 163 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 1: crucial point where we're low on inventory. 164 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 4: Well, you know, I was concerned last year before the 165 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 4: election because we've completely depleted everything, sending it to Ukraine. 166 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 4: But you know, for a little over a year now, 167 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: the Pentagon has been focused on replenishing in Feinberg, especially 168 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 4: when he got into his position at the Pentagon has 169 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 4: been diverting, you know, almost every spare dollar into munitions production. 170 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 4: So I'm not sure exactly where it stands, but I 171 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 4: think we're probably okay. Given the state of the Ringing 172 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: regime when this kicked off, I mean, they were already 173 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 4: quite decimated, and I think now we're just trying to 174 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: take out production facility launch facilities and make sure that 175 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: those missiles aren't aren't able to be launched. 176 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: Now, as far as the homeland here, what concerns you 177 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: of any potential and we're going to talk to Senator 178 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson a little bit later in the show about 179 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: potential low wolves here on our own soil carrying out 180 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: some terrorism on behalf of the Iranian government. 181 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 4: Well, you know, as you know, the open border let 182 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 4: in all kinds of people. We don't really know who's here. 183 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 4: So I'm really concerned about that. I'm concerned both in 184 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 4: terms of kind of these very loud terrorist attacks that 185 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 4: create a lot of fear, but also damage to our infrastructure. 186 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 4: You know, it doesn't take much to take down the 187 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 4: grid if you've got a concerted effort here in the 188 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: United States, or take down our communication system, which you know, 189 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 4: as you've seen in other places, whether it's a hurricane 190 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 4: or the fire in La or Maui for example, can 191 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 4: be quite disruptive. And you know, as we saw during 192 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: Hurricane Katrina, you can see really rapid degradation of civil 193 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: society when digital infrastructure is attacked. 194 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, any advice to our service members right now? 195 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: And I read an article about, you know, basically the 196 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: amount of prayer that is taking place right now within 197 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: our military. I know when when Secretary of War Pete 198 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: he took over, he implemented a lot of faith, got 199 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: rid of all the wolkeness and all the shenanigans that 200 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: was infiltrated into our military under the Biden administration. But 201 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: what's your message to our men and women that serve 202 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: our country true right now? 203 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, we absolutely support what they're doing. And 204 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 4: of course, you know, they're well trained and they're just 205 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 4: stuck doing their job and they're doing a fantastic job. 206 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 4: And I think they should know that all of America 207 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 4: supports what they're doing, and quietly, the rest of the world, 208 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 4: although you know, as you've seen from some of the 209 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: European leaders, they are not going to be as vociferous, 210 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 4: but their populations and especially the population of Iran, support 211 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: everything that they're doing. 212 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, well. We your support, your service to our country general, 213 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us this morning. We 214 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: will continue to pray for the men and women that 215 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: are overseas fighting for this country and for UH for 216 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: our Ran. Thank you so much ineral, I appreciate it, 217 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. All right, coming up, Wall Street 218 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: braces for the opening bell and then the latest from 219 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: the White House in Capitol Hill is an American Sunrise 220 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: Early Edition continues after the break. Welcome back America Sunrise 221 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: Early Edition. We were injury Ruslan the whaling Wall. Good 222 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: shot there. Good to have you with us this morning. 223 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: You're tracking the White House, the markets, and the latest 224 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. You can join the conversation on 225 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: get her YouTube. Rubble right now check in with Wall 226 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: Street as we head towards the opening bell. A steady 227 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: performance on Wall Street yesterday, the first training day since 228 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: the war began in Iran. The dal Joes down seventy 229 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: three points, closing just under forty nine thousand, the Nastac 230 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: up eighty points, ending at twenty seven twenty two to 231 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: seven four eight. Excuse me. Early swings settled in as a 232 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: day went on. So so far markets are proving more 233 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: resilient than many expected. Oil moving higher, US CREWD closing 234 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: at seventy one dollars a barrel, just up six percent, 235 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: global benchmark Brent finishing near seventy eight dollars up close 236 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: to seven percent. That's our check on the market as 237 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: we head towards the opening bell. But joining us now 238 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: to talk more about that is Michael Whickerson. He's a 239 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: founder of Stormwall Advisors. Michael, your reaction to the markets 240 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: on this Tuesday morning and what we can expect towards 241 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: the opening bell. Good morning, Brian. 242 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 6: I think what we're seeing is continued concern about the 243 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 6: effects of the conflict, and it's really being split between 244 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 6: what you talked about, the equity markets, which are nervous 245 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 6: and slightly down managed to regain territory yesterday, and the 246 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 6: commodity markets, which are most likely affected by the physical 247 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 6: transported issues around the war. A couple of cases in 248 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 6: point you mentioned that Brent oil so European trading of 249 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 6: oil up about eight percent. That's the same that's happening 250 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 6: here in the US for West West Texas Intermedia. The 251 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 6: real big chaker, though, is liquid national natural gas prices 252 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 6: LNG prices in Europe up over forty percent in early 253 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 6: training today, and that is because yesterday Cutter announced that 254 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 6: they were going to know they were shutting down the 255 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 6: supply of LNG. They're the largest or second largest producer 256 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 6: in the world. They supply a lot of Asia and 257 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 6: some of the European markets. That's going to be a 258 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 6: real problem for Europe going going forward. Fortunately for the US, 259 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 6: we have our own energy supply, as we do have 260 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 6: an abundance of our own oil, so we are somewhat insulated. 261 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 6: But over time these prices start to matter and start 262 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 6: to affect what consumers pay at retail. 263 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was going to ask you, And 264 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: for people watching at home, they see these spikes across 265 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: the board in the energy sector, the timeline between you 266 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: see the spike and you start to fill it, when 267 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: you actually put gas in your vehicle, it could be 268 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: weeks months. 269 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 6: What you think, what is that timeline? You know, it's 270 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 6: a good question. It's typically weeks. But I have to 271 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 6: say it's sort of asymmetrical, meaning that when these producers, 272 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 6: when these gas companies see the prices are rising, they 273 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 6: are much quicker to raise prices at the pump than 274 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 6: they are on the downside when prices are falling. So 275 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 6: when prices a rising, it might be only a one 276 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 6: or two week lag. When prices are following it could 277 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 6: be three to four weeks as those companies try to 278 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 6: maintain their profit margins. So even as early as this 279 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 6: week we might see impact at the pump as some 280 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 6: decision makers start to lift prices to anticipate the rising 281 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 6: cost of oil. 282 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, so as this escalation moves on, and some say 283 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: it could go for a month, and obviously I think 284 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: we all wanted to be shorter. The longer, what toll 285 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: does that take on the market, or does as a 286 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: market already factor the war aspect in But the longer 287 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: the war go, the longer we look at more of 288 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: a kind of a turn, a downturn to the market. 289 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: So I think you raise a good point. 290 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 6: The market, I do believe, was anticipating a move like 291 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 6: we saw over the weekend. President Trump the administration were 292 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 6: to a degree telegraphing what was going to happen, and 293 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 6: it happened according to script, and so the market did 294 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 6: largely build in it. Brian, I'm actually worried about another 295 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 6: part of the market, which isn't general or related to 296 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 6: the war specifically, and that is we are seeing a 297 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 6: rising level of default and what's called the private credit market. 298 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 6: This is non bank lending into the software companies, AI companies. 299 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 6: We're seeing a big spike there. And why do I 300 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 6: raise it as a concern. That is the kind of 301 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 6: thing that we saw in the global financial crisis where 302 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 6: non bank lenders in that case into mortgages, in this case, 303 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 6: into AI and elsewhere start to get into trouble because 304 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 6: they're over spending, over investing too much debt against it 305 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 6: and that in turn can have a contagion effect on 306 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 6: the rest of the market. That's where I'm keeping my 307 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 6: eyes out this week and into March to see where 308 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 6: that goes. 309 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, Michael real quickly. Does the consumer spending habits 310 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: change under a time of war? Are people buying less cars, 311 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: going out and buying a house? What effect does war 312 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: have on consumer spending? I'm curious to know if they're 313 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: there any historicals on that. 314 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 6: There's a lot of presidents that say that consumer products 315 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 6: become scarce because companies start to reallocate towards defense, more companies, 316 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 6: more industry. We're seeing that happen, of course, we're going 317 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 6: to have to replenish armaments and munitions, as you just 318 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 6: discussed with your previous guest. We have some issues here, 319 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 6: and one thing to be sure is the war is 320 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 6: always inflationary as those goods become more scarce as resources 321 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 6: get diverted to other needs. The cost of goods, whether 322 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 6: it's because of the rising price of oil energy, impacts 323 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 6: almost every other market. You can expect in a wartime 324 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 6: economy to see inflationary pressures and prices rise, which of 325 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 6: course is never great for the consumer. 326 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: That's great stuff. Michael. Hey, how can somebody follow you 327 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: on social media website? You've got some great information.

What's leading the day? 358 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like every morning I wake up, 359 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: I checked the news feed. I really realize there's a 360 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: slew of new developments. My goodness, where do we start right? Absolutely? 361 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 7: In fact, while you were sleeping, the number of American 362 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 7: troops who were killed in retaliation attacks from Iran went 363 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 7: up to six people. This is the Trump administration warning 364 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 7: American citizens across the Middle East to leave. So far, 365 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 7: the Islamist regime has targeted US forces in Bahrain, Cutter, 366 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 7: the United Arab Immirates, Kuwait, Iraq, as well as Saudi Arabia. 367 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 7: In fact, the US embassies in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia 368 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 7: are now closed due to attacks. Monday, it was all 369 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 7: hands on deck as the President, along with the Secretary 370 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 7: of War and the Secretary of State all addressed the 371 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 7: developing situation in Iran. 372 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: From the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but 373 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 3: we have capability to go far longer than that, and 374 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 3: we'll do it. Whatever somebody said today, they said, oh, well, 375 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: if the President wants to do it really quickly after that, 376 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 3: he'll get bored. I don't get bored. There's nothing boring 377 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: about this. 378 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 7: It's a bit of a different tone on Capitol Hill though, 379 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 7: after lawmakers were briefed on the war from Secretary of 380 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 7: War Pete hagsath On Down, the CIA director John Radcliffe, 381 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 7: and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. For 382 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 7: One House, Speaker Mike Johnson is emphasizing that this weekend's 383 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 7: attack was a defensive operation. 384 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 8: Israel was determined to act in their own defense here 385 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 8: with or without American support. Why, because Israel faced what 386 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 8: they deemed to be an existential threat. Iran was building 387 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 8: missiles at a radical and a rapid clip, to the 388 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 8: point where our allies in the region could not keep up. 389 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 8: As you know, Iran has a long vowel to take 390 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 8: out Israel, wipe it off the map, and they have 391 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 8: long seen that as a critical threat to their very existence. 392 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 7: And Brian, Speaker Johnson says, intelligence determined that an Israeli 393 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 7: strike would would have caused threats against US personnel and 394 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 7: assets in that region. As a result, the US joined 395 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 7: the Israelis in order to try and limit the potential 396 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 7: impact on Americans in the region. And Brian, that's I 397 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 7: call it it somewhat of a different tone because the 398 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 7: President's Secretary of War Secretary of State are laying out 399 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 7: the mission and now we're hearing from Speaker Johnson that 400 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 7: it was really the Israelis that it almost feels like 401 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 7: somewhat forced the President's hand on this. 402 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it appears to me, that we were 403 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: kind of forced into this escualation. Look, I've been very open. 404 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of war. I don't want us 405 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: going to war on behalf of another country. I still 406 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: feel like we've heard for year, twenty years that Aaran 407 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: was on the of a nuclear weapon. We've been sold 408 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: that I think a lie for a long time now. 409 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: We got baited into war, but now that we're in it, 410 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: I want to win it without a doubt. I'm supporting 411 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: our military, but this seems like we just kind of 412 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: followed the lead of what Israel was going to do 413 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: and we were forced to kind of follow them rather 414 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: than having a communication on the same page. And that 415 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio also had his comments kind of support that 416 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: narrative as well. 417 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, and Brian beyond that, this isn't just about Israeli, 418 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 7: the United States and Iran. At this point, it really 419 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 7: is becoming a regional conflict as the Iranians are you 420 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 7: know now also attacking US facilities in other countries. But 421 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 7: even though they are attacking and targeting US facilities, the 422 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 7: reality is they're also impacting the infrastructure of those other 423 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 7: countries and invading the sovereignty of them with their missiles. 424 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 7: And that's going to become an issue. We're already seeing, 425 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 7: you know, growing concern from regional partner like Kuwait, like Cutter, 426 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 7: like the Saudis, and and continuing, yeah, and. 427 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: And hitting facilities like an AWS facility. There's some other 428 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: non military facilities that they're striking. So it does widen 429 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: this conflict to other countries and to non you know, 430 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: governmental spots. But anyway, we'll continue to watch that Terrence 431 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: as always, and you can see more Terrance on American 432 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: Sunrise in about half an hour. More Terrance, come on, 433 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: get on. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Neil, 436 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 1: good morning to you with you. Thanks for joining us. 437 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: All right, So what are you learning from the Hill 438 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: right now? Not only as far as this goes and 439 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: do you agree with our assessment assessment, but also all 440 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: the other hearings that are. 441 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 9: Taking place, well, is going to be in Armed Services 442 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 9: hearing today and on the House side that should be 443 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 9: interesting also on the INTEL. But the Senate Judiciary Committee 444 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 9: is hosting Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome. That should be 445 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 9: the big fireworks because you know, we're still in the 446 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 9: overhang from the operations in Minnesota and DHS right, Department 447 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 9: of Homeland Security. 448 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: They haven't been funded for three weeks. 449 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 9: You know, the whole federal government was funded except for 450 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 9: Homeland Security. Now, one of the saving graces is that 451 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 9: roughly ninety percent of Homeland Security personnel are considered essential, 452 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 9: so they're just sort of operating as they always were. 453 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 9: But you know, it's Coastguard, it's Secret Service, it's TSA, 454 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 9: it's FEMA, it's the Cybersecurity Agency. It's like there's a 455 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 9: lot of people who work at the home Department of 456 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 9: Homeland Security right who are missing paychecks. 457 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: Right, And you know what, we bring up a good 458 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: point because I figure it used to be such a 459 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: focus on getting all this taken care of. Now it 460 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: seems like all of our focus is on the Middle East. 461 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: And I want Speaker Johnson and I want our legislative 462 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: body to come together and start working on stuff that 463 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: affects the American people. It seems like this war now 464 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: it was Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota. And then stay with me, 465 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie next to Gouthriy, nexting Nancy Guthrie, it was 466 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: all of that. Now it's Middle East conflict. Can we 467 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: just get back to just doing stuff for the American 468 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: people from a legislative approach and get this stuff funded? 469 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know, work on healthcare, work on stuff 470 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: that affects people, work on affordable housing. 471 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 9: Wow, I think that you're speaking to what concerns a 472 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 9: lot of people. Today's Washington Post had an editorial saying, 473 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 9: why haven't we funded Homeland Security? You know, the department 474 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 9: was created out of a bunch of other agencies that 475 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 9: were sort of stitched together, but Homeland Security their job 476 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 9: is to protect the homeland. 477 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: And with the shooting in. 478 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 9: Austin and whatever else might be coming up, it's a 479 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 9: pretty important apartment. And so I thought it was interesting 480 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 9: that the Washington the Washington Post to come out and say, hey, Congress, 481 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 9: let's go Usually the Washington Post is the one cheering 482 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 9: on Democrats and people blocking it, but not this time. 483 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think our focus needs to be back 484 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: on here in the States. And I, like I said, 485 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a big I'm not a fan of war. 486 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: I didn't want to get into this war. But now 487 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: that we're in it, let's let's win it and move on. 488 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: But let's also focus on stuff here.

Good morning, Senator, Good morning, 521 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. All right, let's start with 522 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: the funding of DHS. You and I were talking off 523 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: camera about the TSA workers when you and I travel, 524 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: we both express our appreciation for them coming to work 525 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: and we know that the hardships they might have to endure. 526 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: Let's start with the funding of DHS. Where are we at. 527 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 10: That's up to the Democrats. I mean, this is what 528 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 10: they're holding up again. They want to defund ice, which 529 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 10: is not part of the deal here. I mean, I 530 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 10: stadents are getting paid, customers, border patrol agents getting paid 531 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 10: because of the Reconciliation. 532 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: Bill, So what their beef is here? They're trying to 533 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: make a political points. 534 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 10: Unfortunately, many in the legacy media continue to bolster their 535 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 10: points and refuse to put pressure on them to become reasonable. 536 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 10: And let's protect the homeland. I mean the shooting in 537 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 10: Austin could be in Harbinger. I think this is what 538 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 10: so many of us were concerned about when Biden the 539 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 10: Democrats open upper border allowed millions of people to flood 540 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 10: in this country, completely unvetted. 541 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: We had no idea who these people were. 542 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 10: We knew that there were special interest aliens, members of 543 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 10: transnational criminal organizations, other terrorists and violent gangs. We knew 544 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,719 Speaker 10: that six and fifty thousand people convicted of crimes are 545 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 10: still larger in America from that flood. So could there 546 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 10: be Iranian sleeper cells there? Certainly could be. That's always 547 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 10: been my concern. I think, quite honestly, that's one of 548 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 10: the reasons past presents have never taken this action like 549 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 10: President Trump passed, because there is that risk. 550 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: That's a very realistic risk. Okay, So we had this 551 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: shooting in Austin over the weekend, young several victims, one 552 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: of them a young college student from Texas Tech was 553 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: shot there in that bar at two am. Now they 554 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: have this shooter and it almost is too good to 555 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: perfect description property of all off sweatshirt pad an Iranian 556 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: T shirt under that a korai was found in his vehicle. 557 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: It almost seems to set up. But what's your opinion 558 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: on this individual from Senegau who was a naturalized citizen. 559 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: Could we see more of that or was that some 560 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: type of setup? Co Sometimes I go down these rabbit 561 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: holes and I just see somebody blatantly trying to play 562 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: the part of a Islamic terrorist. 563 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 10: Your take on the shooting, I really do hate to 564 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 10: speculate it. If I were to gas, I would say 565 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 10: this is probably a lone wolf. So mean just took 566 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 10: advantage of the situation. Again, the concern would be more 567 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 10: organized sleeper cells that'd be activated in one one way 568 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 10: shape or another. Now, you know, Iran, would you know, 569 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 10: really be taking a huge risk as well. They start 570 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 10: unleashing sleeper cells here and they wouldn't even know what 571 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 10: hit them. I think if that were the case, I mean, 572 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 10: they already been stupid enough to unleash missile barrages at 573 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 10: all the other Arab countries. You know, when you're at war, 574 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 10: what your pa to do is try and get more allies, 575 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 10: not create more enemies. And what they did by unleashing 576 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 10: that missile barrage with the Arab states, they create more enemies. 577 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: So they're not in a real good position. 578 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 10: But the problem with Iran is that there are you know, 579 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 10: I heard one estimate of million people in the Revolutionary Guard. 580 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 10: It's a very decentralized command structure that they know that 581 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 10: their leaders sometimes at risk, so they have different layers 582 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 10: of leadership. So I don't expect Iran to go quietly 583 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 10: into the night here. 584 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: Okay, if they did in fact have a nuclear weapon, 585 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: would they not use it right now in a time 586 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: of desperation where they're literally back on their hills. They're 587 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: striking other Gulf nations in an attempt to just be disruptive. 588 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: If they had one, would they use it right now? 589 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 10: That's always been the concern. And you know what's so 590 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 10: absurd about this entire situation that Iran, they could be 591 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 10: a highly prosperous nation. You could have it controlled by 592 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 10: the eye Tolds. All they had to do is give 593 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 10: up their nuclear weapon ambitions. But that's all it's I mean, 594 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 10: very simple steps. You know, we're not going to create 595 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 10: a nuclear weapon. We're not going to en Richard and randium. 596 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 10: If we want to use the nuclear power, will buy 597 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 10: the uranium like other countries do, and there wouldn't be sanctions. 598 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 10: It'd be a successful country. You know, they'd probably be 599 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 10: welcomed into the Community of Nations here. But because they 600 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 10: were absolutely dedicated to creating a nuclear weapon there, you know, 601 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 10: the country's in miserable shape. But understand, we are dealing 602 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 10: with a regime who executed thirty two thousand of the 603 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 10: citizens in just a couple of weeks. Thirty two thousand. 604 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 10: I checked, about sixteen or seventeen thousand people were executed 605 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 10: during the French Revolution. Two to five thousand people were 606 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 10: executed during the Spanish Inquisition. In a couple of weeks, 607 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 10: Iran executed thirty two thousand of their citizens. It's again barbaric. 608 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 10: It doesn't even begin to describe. But what this regime. 609 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 10: So again, the action President Trump is taken. If we 610 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 10: can top top that regime, if the Uranian people, the 611 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 10: long suffering Iranian people, can find freedom a different form 612 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 10: of government, that is unquestionably a good thing. 613 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: You might have just answered my next question. But there's 614 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: nine countries that currently have nuclear weapons. Two of them 615 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: would be Pakistan and North Korea. Why is it different 616 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: that North Korea and Pakistan and other countries can have 617 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon but not Iran? And I know it 618 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: may seem like a dumb question because I know they're 619 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: a terrorists sponsored state, But why is it okay if 620 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: rocketman and North Korea has one and in Pakistan. So again, 621 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: as as concerned. 622 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 10: As I am about both those nations have nuclear weapons, 623 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 10: they aren't out full manning terrorism around the country and 624 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 10: within the region. They're not the largest state sponsor of terror. 625 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 10: They don't have these proxy groups like Hesbal, like the hoodies, 626 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 10: like hamas that carry out terrorist attacks. You know, Hamas 627 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 10: slaughtered twelve hundred Israelis. The hoodies are disrupting a shipping 628 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 10: in the Gulf, has a book of courses rained missiles 629 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 10: down on Israel. So it's just they're completely different regimes. 630 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 10: And you throw on top of that, the Ittots continue 631 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 10: to say death to Israel, death to America, and they 632 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 10: mean it. They're apocalyptic type of religious zealots and they 633 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 10: mean what they say, and we have taken them at 634 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 10: their word. 635 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: Okay, let's turn our attention domestically here for a second 636 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: to Save Act. Younum, we're talking off camera about voter ID. 637 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems pretty logic. Well, it's a kind 638 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: of a no brainer, if you will. A lot of 639 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: people overwhelmingly support the idea of providing a photo ID 640 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: to vote. Where are we at on the Save Act? 641 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: And also, where do you see this escalation this war 642 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: rather affecting the midterms or does it affect the midterms 643 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: at all? 644 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 10: Well, understand, Democrats view any kind of election security, kind 645 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 10: of controls to make sure that legitimate votes aren't canceled 646 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 10: out by fraudulent votes, and any kind of election security 647 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 10: that would reduce the ability for them to cheat as 648 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 10: literally existential to their plans for a one party nation. 649 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 10: So Democrats are utterly opposed to Save America Acts. So 650 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 10: that leaves us in the Senate where you stell the filibuster. 651 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 10: And again I understand many of my colleagues reluctance to 652 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 10: do away with it because it has kept us from 653 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 10: passing awful socialist type of legislation in the past. But again, 654 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 10: so probably won't be able to get rid of the philibuster. 655 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 10: But at a minimum, what we ought to do is 656 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 10: put it the Save America Act, on the floor and 657 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 10: force Democrats to defend why they oppose something apes and 658 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 10: the American people support. I mean, Americans don't want their 659 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,720 Speaker 10: legitimate vote canceled out by a fraudulent one. Democrats appose 660 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 10: that we need to expose that because right now they 661 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 10: just say, oh, Save America Act, that's Jim Crow two 662 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 10: point zero and. 663 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:54,760 Speaker 1: The getaway with that slogan. 664 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 10: We need to expose the fact that no, they are 665 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 10: opposing what most Americans want, which provides some election security, 666 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 10: some marriage of control so that we can reduce fraudinary elections. 667 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think getting rid of the filibuster takes the 668 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: offensive approach. I'd much rather get rid of it. Let's 669 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: push these agendas that make America great and secure America. 670 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: Because if those if those policies get pushed through, they 671 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: get put into law, and then and then the citizens 672 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: Americans start to feel the benefits of that. We'll never 673 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: lose another election again from from a Democrat. I mean, 674 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: people will see that Republican and our policies are better 675 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: for them. I think it's being on the office and 676 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: the defense. So I agree with you on that. I 677 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 1: think we should get rid of it and uh and 678 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: do what we need to going further. Okay, big primary 679 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: day in Texas. I'm not going to put you on 680 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: the spot to uh to endorse one candidate or another, 681 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: have no idea if you've done that or not. But 682 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: big election day. What do you see not only the 683 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: turnout in some of these primaries that we have, there's 684 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: all also one in Georgia on March tenth. Are Americans 685 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: going to turn out they see this threat from the 686 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: Democrats trying to take advantage of the fact that we're 687 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: we've got some turmoil and all this other stuff that's 688 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: going on in the economy. Your outlook on these primaries, well, 689 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: much of the chagrin of many of my colleagues. 690 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 10: I never endorse in any primaries, not in Wisconsin, not nationally. 691 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 10: I just let the Republican voters select their candidate, and 692 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 10: then I'll go and support the actual candidate against the Democrat. 693 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 10: So I'm always off hook from standpoint of endorsing. It's 694 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 10: very difficult to figure out, you know, how the Iranian 695 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 10: war is going to impact primary day here in Texas 696 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 10: is an important primary, that's a Senate seat. We cannot 697 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 10: afford to lose. Can't afford to lose any of them, 698 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 10: quite honestly, because Democrats, going back to the Fieldbuster, they've 699 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 10: they've shown us their hand. That's that's the reason I 700 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 10: support eliminating the fieldbuster is they will do it. They 701 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 10: courage the two members of the party that prevented them 702 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 10: from any of the fieldbuster last time. I'm sure every 703 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 10: Senate Democrat serving today would eliminate it. Any candidate would 704 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 10: do the same thing. So we got to beat in 705 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 10: the punch because we'll do it for the benef of 706 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 10: the American people. 707 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Senator. What's the best website for someone 708 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,959 Speaker 1: to keep up with you? Or social media as well? 709 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 10: Jalmy X, You know that's a send Johnson. I guess 710 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 10: I don't know that I know that better, but it's 711 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 10: just you know, sender Ron Johnson. 712 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: There you go, Senator, always a pleasure.

David, we were 732 00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: talking off camera state of Texas today, big Primary. Your 733 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: thoughts first will go to the AG race, but your 734 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: thoughts on Paxson, Pornyn, Wesley Hunt could go off to 735 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: run off? Your take, I feel like it. 736 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,919 Speaker 11: I think, listen, where do I begin. The spidey sense 737 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 11: of me tells me runoff. Having said that Paxton's got 738 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 11: the momentum, it wouldn't surprise me if he goes over 739 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,280 Speaker 11: the fifty percent threshold. Having said that, I'm thinking runoff. 740 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 11: Now having said all of that, you know, it's interesting 741 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 11: because everybody, you know, Paxton's getting the ink and Corn's 742 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 11: getting the ink. But Wesley Hunt's a really good candidate 743 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 11: by the way, I mean he's he's really good too, 744 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:43,359 Speaker 11: So that race is kind of filled with three kind 745 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 11: of formidable candidates in different ways. What's interesting to me 746 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 11: is if you look at the Republican side of the 747 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 11: Democrat side in Texas regarding the primary, it's outsiders that 748 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 11: are making the difference. 749 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: Right. I mean Senator corn cornn in trouble. 750 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 11: He's been a long time insider Jasmine Crockett in Congress, 751 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 11: an insider in trouble. Because James Tallerico could pull off, 752 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 11: I guess you would consider it for sure and upset 753 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 11: over Jasmine Crockett. 754 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: I mean, my. 755 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,760 Speaker 11: Understanding is last night at one of her big events, 756 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 11: she had like one hundred people, tall Rico had a 757 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 11: thousand people. It would not surprise me if Taal Rico 758 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 11: pulls this off against Jasmin Crockett, and that would be 759 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 11: that would send a seismic message within the Democrat Party 760 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 11: to say, hey, we're going to try something different. 761 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: The Jasmine Crockett aoc wing the. 762 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 11: Far left not quite getting it done for us, and 763 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 11: tall Rico presents at least a different packaged opportunity. He 764 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 11: very much has a lot of the same policies as Crockett, 765 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 11: but he packages it differently. 766 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: And that's the key. That's the key. Day that you 767 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: just nailed it, that's the key. People seeing the kind 768 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: of crazy videos that she's put out and some of 769 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: the press conferences she does, people just say, wait a minute, 770 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: I don't identify with that at all. Okay, well, also, Corny, 771 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,240 Speaker 1: here's a good point. Some say they can't name really 772 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 1: one thing that John Cornyon has done in his forty 773 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:09,800 Speaker 1: plus years of being in public office. It's some capacity. Yet. 774 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: Ken Paxston, on the other hand, has filed dozens or 775 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: hundreds of lawsuits at rather against the Biden administration, from 776 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: everything from election security to border security. So that's going 777 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: to be and I agree with you, Wesley Hunt is 778 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 1: a good man, good congressman from West Houston, Katy area. 779 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: I think that has some value there. Okay, Attorney General, 780 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: You've got Aaron Wright who worked under Ken Paxton and 781 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: his office, and you have Chip Roy running. Obviously he's 782 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 1: got the name ID. That's what Chip has to his advantage. 783 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: What do you think about that race? 784 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 11: That's a harder one for me because I'm not as 785 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 11: intimately involved with the Texas politics there. Brian, you would 786 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 11: know better. What are you thinking, I mean, Chip Roy? 787 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 11: Anytime you have name recognition, I'm thinking it's Roy. But 788 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 11: then again, you know, I'm not quite sure of the 789 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 11: inner dynamics there. 790 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: What's your sense of that, Brian, Well, obviously I think 791 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: Chip Roy has the name ID on this. I know 792 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Wright he's a good man. He worked under Ken Paxson. 793 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 1: You'd be getting Packson two point zero if you got 794 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: Aaron into office. But will that name recognition be enough 795 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: to beat Chip Roy? I don't know if it is 796 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 1: all right? And course, you know I encourage everyone in 797 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 1: Texans get out and vote. Obviously, today is a big 798 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: day for that, all right. Always something developing in the 799 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: Middle East. I know you guys gonna have the very 800 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: latest on that as well. 801 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 11: We are Congress from Markofford coming up at the top 802 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 11: of the hour.

Imagine 807 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 11: what will happen if that happens. 808 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 1: You know me, well, talk about it, David.
