I think 26 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm a little worse today than I was yesterday. I mean, 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: I think it's difficult to tell. I think overall, maybe 28 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: I feel a little bit better. Yesterday I didn't have 29 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: a whole lot of energy. But today you're hearing it 30 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: in my voice. I feel like I'm losing my voice now. 31 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: But guess what, folks, I can't take a break. I 32 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: can't quit the battle crew. It's just not what I do. 33 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: I love spending time with you all. I told you yesterday. 34 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: I consider you all to be my family. Seriously, we 35 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: spend an hour together every single day. I mean that's 36 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: some legit quality time. Speaking of family, milestone happened today 37 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: in Fort Parnell, and I gotta tell you kind of 38 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: a big deal to me. Been waiting on this for 39 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: three years. We've had an ice machine. When we moved 40 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: into ice machine and under cabinet ice machine, it wasn't functional. 41 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: We love the place that we're in, we love the 42 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: people who we purchased the house from. I mean, they're 43 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: great American patriots. There was an amazing undercounter ice machine. 44 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't functioning when we came in, but we saved 45 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: up over the last couple of years and we finally 46 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: got one. And I told I told you all this 47 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: earlier on. The company delivers it and the delivery drivers 48 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: pull the old well, uh, we can't actually do it 49 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: because of liability issues, and I called it. By the way, 50 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: this is the second or third time we've ordered appliances 51 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: after we saved up to get them, and they arrive 52 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: and these delivery people you pay, you pay through the 53 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: wazoo to have these things installed, and then they get 54 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: here and they're like, oh, you could really do the 55 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: Oh really, you know, in their heart of hearts, they're 56 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: just being lazy. And that's another thing. It's hard to 57 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: find people who actually want to do like contracting work 58 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: in this day and age. And what's crazy, I can't 59 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: tell you. And the contractors that we do talk to, 60 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: they tell me, they've told me many stories of being 61 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: underbid by illegal alien you know, sometimes by like thirty 62 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: or forty percent, Like, how the hell can you compete 63 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: with that? Folks? We've got to get this illegal alien 64 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: invasion under control when Trump gets back in office. But 65 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: found a great, great group of contractors have been helping 66 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: us pick some things around the house and get our 67 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: and really just helping us a lot. And they came 68 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: to the house and they put in the ice maker. 69 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: And this is glorious. Folks. Listen, I have not had 70 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: ice in this house for three I mean, you have 71 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: to buy ice, right, the bags of ice. But this 72 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: is tough. This is a tough thing. And you might 73 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: be thinking, well, that's not that big of a deal. 74 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: When you have five kids, it's kind of a big deal, 75 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: especially when all the girls have these stanleys. Have you 76 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: ever seen the stanleys? There are these big, huge water 77 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: bottles this big. They carry them everywhere. Now the girls 78 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: have multiple stanleys, and they fill those stanleys up with 79 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: ice every time they get them. And then you know, 80 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: I got my boys who were scooping glasses filled with ice. 81 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: So I work my ass off on the show all day, 82 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: helping Commander Melanie, doing whatever it is that we need 83 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: to do around the house, trying to give you a 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: good quality show. And at the end of the day, 85 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: I don't drink every night but if I want to 86 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: sit down and have a drink, I go get ice, 87 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: and damn it, it's not there. Story of my life. 88 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: But guess what. Knock on wood. Of course, knock on wood. 89 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: My ice problems are over. Katie, my oldest daughter, my 90 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: oldest child, came down in the studio before we went live, 91 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: and she said, look at this ice cube. It looked 92 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: like a diamond. It was so beautiful. It was a 93 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: big piece of ice. I'm telling you, I can't wait. 94 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna take a couple of days to actually fill 95 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: up the ice undercounter ice maker. But apparently thirty pounds 96 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: of ice we will never be It might be a 97 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: little bit overkill. Yeah, of course it's a little bit overkill, 98 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: but we'll never run out of ice again with five kids. 99 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: So now the only thing that we have to worry 100 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: about is hiding food from them, because, believe it or not, 101 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: you kind of got to hide food from five kids 102 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: because sometimes the snacks that you get are gone by 103 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: the time you get to eat them. So these are 104 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: just issues that we deal with in Ford. Parnell. Don't 105 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: think less of me, by the way, I'm not the 106 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: one that hides the food, Okay, it's not me. I'm 107 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: not gonna name names. You know who it might be 108 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: thinking about. She's upstairs right now listening to the show, 109 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: and I guarantee you I'm gonna get a hate text 110 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: from her here in a second. But look respect right, 111 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: like I get it. We got five kids. Sometimes you 112 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: got to hide the snacks because they'll be gone before 113 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: you get a chance to eat them. Commander Melanie is 114 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: texting me right now, in very real time that she 115 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: is not afraid to hide food in the house to 116 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: keep it from the depraved fingers of our five children. No, 117 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: we're not afraid of that. One time we had I 118 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: had to replace the pelasov remember last year and when 119 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: we always have heating problems in the winter. So Pellett 120 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: stove went out a couple of years ago. Not good 121 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: when you live in western Pennsylvania, north of the city 122 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh. So we replace that, and I put the 123 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: old one because I think I can still use it, 124 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: maybe to heat the garage or something. And I put 125 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: the old one in the garage. Then I open it 126 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: up one day and there's a bunch of cans of 127 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: pop in there. Melanie was using the pellet ban the 128 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: pellet bin to hide her pop from the kids. Now, 129 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: this is next level secret squirrel stuff in Fort Parnew. 130 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: This is why we call her commander. Okay, she's very, 131 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: very squirrely when it comes to this stuff, and apparently 132 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: she's not ashamed at all. Okay, So, without further ado, 133 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: I've got Brian Dean right on deck. But I want 134 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: to send a quick shout out thanks to Bulldog Patriot. 135 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: He said, it's another good day to slam a beer 136 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: and fly a drone through the New Jersey. Happy Friday. 137 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: Thanks Bulldog. We love you. We're grateful to have you 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: with us here tonight. So I've got Brian Dean right 139 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: on deck. We've got a whole lot of stuff to 140 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: talk about, and I know that you all are clamoring 141 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: for Brian Dean Wright. He missed last week, right because 142 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: he's just he's just so busy. You know. He's a 143 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: former CIA operations officer. He's a true great podcast called 144 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: The Right Report. Yes, you know. 145 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: And so Donald Trump has asked me to be governor 146 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: of Canada. That is something I wanted to break on 147 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: your show. Very very excited. He called me up and 148 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: he said, Ryan, let me, let me gotta be honest 149 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: with you. We need Canada, also Greenland and Iceland. Why 150 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: because we need those those whales with the horns. That's 151 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: the only way we're gonna make America grade again. We 152 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: need the nar walls. 153 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: So why are you governor of Canada? Why would he 154 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: appoint you governor of Canada? Canady just doesn't like Trudeau. 155 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, why not? Come on, I'm a perfect candidate 156 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: to replace that communist. Let's be honest, Canada could be 157 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: lovely again. We just got to get rid of the leftists, 158 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: and I'm the guy to do it. 159 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: I can as a CIA guy. Can you speak candidly 160 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: as to whether or not Justin Trude is Fidel Castro's son. 161 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they look exactly alike. 162 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: Well, what I'm saying is that because I have eyes, 163 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: I agree. You don't need to be part of the 164 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: CIA to figure that one out. As a little immediate 165 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: DNA test with the. 166 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Al rets, it's kind of unbelievable. They really do look 167 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: exactly alike. And in this crazy world that we live in, 168 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me, not even in the slightest you know. 169 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: If Fido Castro and is uh Trudeau's mother were quite close. 170 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: Actually they really were. I mean this is very yes, yes, 171 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: she had a very big crush on him. Actually she 172 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: was quite open about it. She wasn't and they remember 173 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: back of the day she and her her then husband, 174 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: the Prime minister of the previous Trudeau prime minister, Honeymoon. 175 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: I believe it was in Cuba exactly. 176 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean this seat. 177 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: I'm not here to judge. I'm just saying, there's a look. 178 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 2: It's a very simple look. 179 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: There's a look. It's a very real thing. Did you 180 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: did you hear that? Nancy? So if Nancy Pelosi falls 181 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: in Luxembourg today, I guess she's out in Europe anniversary. 182 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: I had a lot of stock tips in her her pockets. 183 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: So she fell over, she broke she broke her hip. 184 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: And prior to that, earlier this week, Mitch McConnell fell 185 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: and apparently he was serious, not I mean serious and 186 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: seriously injured enough to be in a wheelchair. I mean 187 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: what I mean, Brian, there is something. I mean, what 188 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: is with our body politic in America today where we 189 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: have senators and I mean it's it's bad in the 190 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: house too, but it's I feel like it's worse than 191 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: the Senate, where people are serving until they're ninety five 192 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: years old. Like in the case of Diane Feinstein. 193 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: Here here's here's where that was horrible. 194 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: It really was, like I don't wish this on anybody, 195 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: by the way, but she clearly is not cognizant of 196 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: what's happening around her, and yet she has she's still 197 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: in the Senate and she has a proxy voting for 198 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: how is any of this constitutional? Well it's not. 199 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: And I think that that it's representative of why a 200 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: lot of people typically don't vote because like it doesn't matter, 201 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: or in the primary, we're going to get a Pelosi 202 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: or whomever on the Republican side, and it doesn't. They're 203 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: never actually going to reflect the will of the people. 204 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: They're never going to do our job, So why bother voting? 205 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: And I think that's actually what Trump had up against 206 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: him to really rally those people and states all across 207 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: this country, those low propensity voters to say, I get it, 208 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: you have checked out. I'm going to go on some 209 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: of your crazy podcasts. I'm going to say some bonkers 210 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: things and remind you actually the politics not only going 211 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: to be fun, but you should love your country enough 212 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: to vote, and we got to do it because we've 213 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: got to get rid of the crazy cackling Kamala or else. 214 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: Just the joints going to go in the trash. And 215 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 2: so I think that what you're talking about, whether it 216 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: be McConnell or the way be Pelosi, these are people 217 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: who've been in DC for far too long. They don't 218 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: really reflect the will of the people anymore, only reflect 219 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 2: their own bottom lines, their own personal networks, make a 220 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: lot of money that are secret stock rates, and it's 221 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: a moment of profound change in this country. I think 222 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: this last election was a really, really big in that 223 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: way you look the electorate. 224 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: What's really funny about it? And we'll get on too. 225 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: We got lots of stuff to talk about today. But 226 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: it really, I mean, you're so right about that. It 227 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: really I think this election was a referendum on so 228 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: many things. I was watching a segment with the view 229 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: and they what is clear to me, my friend, is 230 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: that the Democrats, most of them, and outside of guys 231 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: like John Fetterman and James Carbo, who I do think 232 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: get why the Democrats lost. I'm not saying that John 233 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: Fetterman is sincere, That's not what I'm saying. But the 234 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: vast majority of them just can't figure it out. Watching 235 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: the segment on the View, and it was like one 236 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: big therapy and cope session, my friend, like where they're like, 237 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: I have these people, they're just all so misinformed. Seventy 238 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: seven million people who voted for President Trump, like independent, 239 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: some Democrats, all just misinformed. They can't wrap their mind 240 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: around it. I mean, what do you make of that? 241 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: Well, earlier this week, if we looked at the ratings 242 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: the La Times and Forbes magazine both to two really 243 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: really thoughtful pieces on this. We are watching the ratings 244 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 2: at both MSNBC and CNN to a little bit lesser extent, 245 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 2: but collapse upwards of forty to fifty plus percent, to 246 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: the point that they're asking Rachel Maddow and other fellows 247 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: like her to go ahead, And that was mean, to 248 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: go ahead and reduce their salaries because they are too 249 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: expensive and there's not enough ad money coming in. Now, 250 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: what's interesting is Fox News is actually picking up some 251 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: of those people. These are Democrats who are like, you know, 252 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: let me listen to what the conservatives have to say. 253 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: Maybe they're not all crazy. So I think that that's 254 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: a really interesting sort of data point to see leftist 255 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: politic outlets like CNN and certainly MSNBC their ratings collapsing. 256 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: Fox News now controlling about seventy percent seven zero percent 257 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: of cable news right now, and that number is increasingly Democrats. 258 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: So I think that's a really interesting sort of insight 259 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: into the country right now. We're looking to realize how 260 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: we think and what we. 261 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: Think speaking of, you know, realigning how we think the Democrats. 262 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: Have you been tracking this United Healthcare CEO assassination. I mean, 263 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: just it's just so you watch the video. I've talked 264 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: about it a little bit on the show, but you know, 265 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: my show is primarily opinion. The right report is just 266 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: very locked down and basically it's like your own personal 267 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: presidential daily brief. But I still try to not speculate 268 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: when I feel like it's not responsible and I am 269 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: not sure. I don't know enough about what happened with 270 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: this to really talk about it in depth. But what 271 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: I do know is that it's tragic. You watch the video, 272 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: it's tragic that gets shot in the back, staggers a 273 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: couple of steps, turns around, looks at the assassin and 274 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: guy's a husband of bother in the left, and I 275 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: have some sound. I don't even think I'll play it, 276 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: but it's probably sufficient to just summarize it. But people 277 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: like AOC and Jimmy Kimmel are making they're making light 278 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: of this. They're making this out to be a joke, 279 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: and they're saying like, well, you know, people that don't 280 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: have health care, that's basically healthcare companies committing violence on 281 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: someone else by denying them coverage. And AOC makes the 282 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: point I didn't have health care coverage until I ran 283 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: for Congress, And the point she was making was that 284 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: how horrible and wrong that is. But nobody deserves to 285 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: be a sad the guys. This guy's not the cause 286 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: of these problems. It's just I just think it's evil, 287 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. 288 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: What we've seen since Look, yeah, what we have seen 289 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 2: since this murder or folks on the left saying, hey, 290 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: we shouldn't murder people. That said, and then you know, 291 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: whatever the explanation is, Okay, you know, when you work 292 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: at the CIA, you know you shouldn't murder people. But 293 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: that said, we got to kill the Islamic radicals, Okay, 294 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: I hear you there. But the point in this case 295 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: is the American medical system is broken. And you can 296 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: point to lots of different culprits for this, the health 297 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: insurance agencies, doctors, their insurance providers, or their liability providers. 298 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: We got the middlemen for both, the drug prescription companies, 299 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: the pharmaceutical companies. There are lots of if we want 300 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: to call them villains, we can. But the point is 301 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: there are lots of people who are incentivized to keep 302 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: us sick. They make money off of people being sick, 303 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: or they would sure not want to kill you. They 304 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: don't want you to die either necessarily, but they certainly 305 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: would would have no problem keeping you sick because you 306 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: make a lot of money off of that. So that's 307 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: a really important debate that guys like RFK Junior, whether 308 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: you like him or not, he's certainly ringing the bell 309 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: on this issue. There are lots of others as well 310 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: who are saying our systems are broken. So, for instance, 311 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: on the vaccine side of things, there's the reporting system 312 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: called VERS. The British Medical Journal BMJ did a brilliant 313 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 2: investigative report into this about a year ago, saying the 314 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: whole VARIUS system, which is supposed to tell us all 315 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 2: that A don't worried that all the vaccines are safe. 316 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: That var system is broken, wildly understaffed, The people who 317 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 2: are there have clear conflicts of interest, and the reports 318 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: that you do make, they rarely follow up on them. 319 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 2: In fact, they interviewed doctors that UCLA and other places 320 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: Harvard Medical School, Yale Medical School calling in and talking 321 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: about the COVID nineteen shot at the time and seeing 322 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 2: the very system is just broken. So it's not to 323 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: say that there aren't lots of different parts and pieces 324 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: to this very very big puzzle that we could all say, hey, 325 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 2: that needs to be fixed. Yes, murder, We're not going 326 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: to murder our way out of this problem. We're just 327 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: not going to. Yeah, there are other problems where you 328 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: can murder your way out of it, absolutely, depending on 329 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: how you dispose of the bodies. Yes, I'm all about that. However, 330 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: this problem ain't one of them. 331 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: Well, you, speaking of COVID, I I played this clip. 332 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: I try not to recycle sound on the show, but 333 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: I played this clip of Cashptel talking to Glenn Beck, 334 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: and it was Cashptel basically saying that you know, since COVID. 335 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: We've learned that Gena Haspell has paid six CIA guys 336 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: to push this bogus conspiracy theory that the lab that 337 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: that COVID did not come from a lab in China, 338 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: that it came from a wet market and made a 339 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: jump from batstate. I mean, like, what the hell? How 340 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: is this? 341 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 3: So? 342 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this seems like the CIA does lots of things, 343 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: but even this seems like a bridge too far for 344 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: the CIA. Am I wrong? 345 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: This was well, this is this is what I understand, 346 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: and I am very excited for guys like Cashptel or 347 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 2: John Ratcliff at the CIA and others, you know, to 348 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: get into these organizations and explained what this could mean. 349 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: So what I understand happened was that these individuals, whether 350 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: it be case officers or analysts or different sides of 351 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: the Intel house, put this report together that said what 352 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: it said, which is that the lap Lag theory was 353 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: crazy or less than likely than some magical bats that 354 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: came out of wherever. After they came out with a report, 355 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: that's when they got what is called an Exceptional Performance 356 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: Award or an EPA because they did this really great report. 357 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: If the allegation is that they got the EPA really beforehand. 358 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: In other words, they were said, look cook the books 359 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: on this analysis, say that this didn't come from the 360 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 2: Wuhan the Institute, and just say it came from a 361 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: bat and we're going to give you ten thousand bucks 362 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 2: to lie. Okay, that's really important. We should dig into that. 363 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: If rather, it's just a bureaucratic thing where epas get 364 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: handed out. I'm not going to say all the time, 365 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: but they're not super super uncommon. So they did this work, 366 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: they did this great report, and it was a really 367 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: good one, and they got an EPA after they put 368 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 2: together the report. That is not necessarily unusual. So we 369 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: just to have somebody like a Ratcliff or somebody at 370 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 2: the O, D and I, which of course would be 371 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 2: over for Tulci Gabbard, just look into this and make 372 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 2: sure that Gina Haspell didn't pull some sort of shenanigans, 373 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 2: because let's be honest, Gina hasn't necessarily been a great 374 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 2: friend to the Republic for a long time, so it's 375 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 2: in my view so it's pretty fair to just just 376 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 2: make sure. Because the CUA, you know, they do they 377 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 2: do train paid liars, so that kind of seems relevant 378 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: in this case and many others. So for me, I'm 379 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 2: the one good one, right, I promise. 380 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: So what do you think you don't like? Gena Hasspell. 381 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, here's my Trump appoints are right, So yeah, 382 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm not, by the way, blaming Trump 383 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: for any of that. He's just learning the ropes in 384 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: his first term. And you think the people that you 385 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: select and a point will be loyal to you. I mean, honestly, 386 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: I know for a fact that that's exactly what he thought, 387 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: that I'll be able to work with Democrats, I'll be 388 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: able to work with Republicans, will bury the hatchet against Clinton, like, 389 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: let's work to make America great again. Obviously he faced 390 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: some very very stiff opposition, right, but like, you know, 391 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: so tell me what you're thinking about, Gena hass I'm 392 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: not a fans so. 393 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: Look, just step me back the whole point I think 394 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: that you're just talking about with Trump, and I think 395 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: this is a lot of us really before Trump, and 396 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: certainly during the COVID pandemic was confirmed, we kind of assumed, hey, look, 397 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 2: you know, bureaucrats are bureaucrats, you know, but really some 398 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: of those technocrats have got to be smart, they've got 399 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: to be providing value. So the administrative state, you know, 400 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: isn't necessarily inherently bad or evil, right right, Well, then 401 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: we get Donald Trump and we see the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, 402 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: where the NSA, the CIA, FBI, and all the rest 403 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 2: of them were absolutely rotten from the top to the bottom. 404 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 2: And then we get into the COVID pandemic and we 405 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: see guys like Tony Fauci and others at NIH squashing 406 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 2: what we now know to be absolutely true because they 407 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: were probably involved in some shenanigans, whether that be the 408 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: Peter Zach guy or you know, the rest of it 409 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: with Eco Health Alliance and whatnot. So the point is, 410 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 2: I think a lot of us are now like, you know, 411 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 2: I kind of understand Trump's point. There is such a 412 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 2: thing as an administrative state or deep state. I shouldn't 413 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 2: trust those technocrats, and that really sucks for lots of reasons. 414 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 2: One of them, I'm paying all their salaries. But second, 415 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 2: they're not really working on behalf of the American people 416 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: and the republic. That's I think what mister Trump has 417 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 2: learned is that you can't assume that they're all those people, 418 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: even if they are just sort of turds and they 419 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: don't do great work, they're not going to try to 420 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: destroy you because they will, and in his case they 421 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: tried to, and you can argue they kind of did 422 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 2: in his first term and they Needcap the guy. So yeah, 423 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: in terms of Hasspital, she's part of that. She is 424 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 2: part of it. In my view having worked with her 425 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: and knowing about her, she's one of these people who 426 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: really is not kind of an America first person. She 427 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: gets really caught up in the fifty one spies who 428 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: lied about the Hunter Biden laptop. She's the kind of 429 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: person who would have signed that just because she wants 430 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: to be part of the cool kid's table. So this 431 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 2: is what exists in that world. It's a lot of 432 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 2: spies that want to be good friends with each other, 433 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 2: help each other out with post retirement jobs, all the 434 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 2: rest of that stuff. You know, you shock up to 435 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: move up that old expression. Well, Gina Haskell understands that 436 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: in order to get a senior position, you got to 437 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 2: be nice to the senior spies. So she comes from 438 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: that ilk. That is not the leadership this country needs, 439 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: and that's not the leadership that the CIA needs. 440 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: God, that's a fascinating answer. Okay, yeah, seriously, that's that's 441 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: such a good point. I mean, God, it's interesting to 442 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: hear that that dynamic really exists in the CIA. I 443 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: suppose it exists everywhere, but you would think that especially 444 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 1: in organizations at the CIA where your life and death, Like, 445 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: there's some especially clandestine's skill involved in ascending the ranks, 446 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: right Like how do you become a director of the 447 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: clandestine services or something like that without having any clandestine 448 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: services yourself. I mean I would just think that like 449 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: sometimes being a leader, like if you're gonna go lead, 450 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking like of dunder Mifflin in the office, 451 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: but a paper company to a coal company. I think 452 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: leadership can sometimes translate. You might have to learn the business, 453 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: but being a leader is being a leader. But if 454 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: you're a leader of spies who have very refined skill 455 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: sets and you don't know any of them, I think 456 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: that would be damn near impossible. So I would think 457 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: that there'd be some level of merit involved in promotions 458 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: at the CIA. 459 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 2: Well you think that, Yeah, Look, it's it really is. 460 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 2: If you suck up, you move up. That's how the 461 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: agency works, it's not necessarily merit. You know, you can 462 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 2: have you can say hey, I worked abroad, or I 463 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: worked on this case or the other, but a lot 464 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: of that stuff might have been trash if you have 465 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: the right people protecting you to move you up along. 466 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 2: So I think sometimes this is from what I understand 467 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: in the military. Some of this exists in the military too, 468 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: but right so, it's the same same thing at the agency. 469 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: And it's something that I'll tell you when I started 470 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: at the CIA just after nine to eleven, less than 471 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: two months after we were there, because we were afraid 472 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 2: that this country was going to get destroyed. We didn't 473 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 2: know the next time we were going to get hid. 474 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: So we were all very, very motivated to sort of 475 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: be of service to this country and keep ourselves and 476 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 2: our families protected. And that ethos, that's the kind of 477 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 2: ethos that you need to find, encourage, facilitate, move up 478 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: the ranks. Unfortunately, right now, that is not how the 479 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: CIA works. We got a lot of this diversity, equity 480 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 2: and inclusion craft, so it's absolutely irrelevant. That is not 481 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 2: mission centered, and that's what needs to be changed. So 482 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 2: if we have a CIA director who wasn't like me, right, 483 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: who didn't go out to the world and recruit spies 484 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: and still secrets. I'm okay with that, so long as 485 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 2: they have people around them who understand that world and 486 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: can understand that the CIA is full of people who 487 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: lie and can help them ask really smart and important questions. 488 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: And then, more importantly, from a leadership perspective, this is 489 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 2: what I believe about guys like Pete Hegseth who might 490 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: not have whatever resumes some people want him to have. 491 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: Do you have the discernment after you ask the important questions? 492 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: Do you have the discernment and judgment to make good decisions? 493 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: That's what good leadership is all about. And if a 494 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 2: guy like heag Seth or whomever it might be you 495 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: know in the CIA case, hasn't gone out and recruited 496 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: those spies, okay, just make sure that you help during 497 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: your confirmation hearing, explain to the Senate and explain to 498 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 2: the American people that you understand that experience isn't necessarily 499 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: the end all be all that you need to be 500 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 2: able to ask important questions with that good discernment and 501 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 2: that good judgment. That's what I'm looking forward to hear 502 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: in January. 503 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: Well, okay, soft Shift gears with me, and can we 504 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: talk about drones for a second. 505 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: Yes, Why what's going on with drones? 506 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: I've been so excited to talk to you all week 507 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: about this, and strangely enough, it's been left on the 508 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: cutting room floor pretty much every day this week, which 509 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: kind of sucks. So we really haven't had a chance 510 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: to talk about it. But a quick synopsis, drones over 511 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: New Jersey. Nobody knows what the hell they are. Representative 512 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: Van Drew, who is a member of Congress from New Jersey, 513 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: says it's very likely that these things are coming from 514 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: a mothership off the coast of the Atlantic, probably from Iran. 515 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: The Pentagon denies that, said, no, there's no evidence of that. 516 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: Anna Pauline A Luna, who's a representative from Congress from Florida, 517 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: says what Representative Van Drew is saying is probably true, 518 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: that there's it's some sort of a foreign adversary. FBI 519 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: testifies in front of Congress say we don't know what 520 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: the hell these things are, but don't worry, they're safe. 521 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: And then now like this is the breaking news about 522 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: these drones in New Jersey today. Of course, we saw 523 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: that there were reports of them over a military base 524 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: in Germany, and they seem to be spreading out over 525 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: the country, but one of them crashed in New Jersey today. 526 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: Out check out this footage. 527 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 3: So youse are involved in an investigation in Hillsboro, New 528 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 3: Jersey as to a possible drone landing that happened yesterday. 529 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 3: The search is ongoing right now in an area between 530 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 3: or just off of Route two oh six in Hillsboro 531 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 3: near Falcon Road, and we could see a staging area 532 00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 3: by Somerset County Hazardous material units, some other county officials 533 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 3: as well as Hillsboro agencies as well. We also understand 534 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: that the FBI is aware of the incident against a 535 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 3: search ongoing. It is primarily happening in a wooded area. 536 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 3: It's adjacent to a shopping center again in the area 537 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 3: of Route two oh six and Falcon Road. At this point, 538 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 3: officials not able to make any other statements as to 539 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 3: the status of this investigation and what details they are 540 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 3: that are known at this time and what they're able 541 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 3: to share. But there we can see some of the. 542 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: Fighters so like, look at the firefighters there, They're just like, 543 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: what the hell is going on, like, why are there 544 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: has Matt Vans, There has Matt people there. I realize 545 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: how the. 546 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: War the World's began, if I'm not mistaken. 547 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, was that what Tom Cruise runs out his house, 548 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: he sees a force section in his backyard. Do you 549 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: know what happens? So my dad listened to this speaking 550 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: of War of the World. My dad read me War 551 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: of the Worlds when I was a kid. Yeah, and 552 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: I remember being so petrivied that I would have dreams 553 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: all the time as a kid that it was real. 554 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: But really it was just the book. That's how That's 555 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: how good that book is. Yeah. 556 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: Well he was just a few years early. Apparently your 557 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: your fears should have been delayed into your forties. Yeah. Look, 558 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 2: so you mentioned something very important in the lead up 559 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 2: to this, which is you're talking about in New Jersey 560 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks. We know that this 561 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: started around about November eighteenth. I would submit to you though, 562 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 2: that this actually began over a year ago. So what 563 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: we know in the state of Virginia is that we 564 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 2: have these very strange series of drones one year ago 565 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: this month and the Biden minehouse and Joe Biden were 566 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: all announced or told about. This was in the President's 567 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 2: Daily brief. They brought in the FBI, the Department of Justice, 568 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 2: the DHS, everybody to try to figure out how they 569 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: could knock these things down of the out of the air, 570 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: Could they do it, what are the tools? And went 571 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: on for about fourteen days as the White House and 572 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: the Pentagon and others scrambled to figure out what to do. 573 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 2: That was a year ago. Now there was a drone 574 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 2: that crashed into a tree in a park in Virginia. 575 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: It was recovered and found to belong to a Chinese 576 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 2: national who was flying out to California, had a one 577 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: way flight back to China. He was arrested in California 578 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 2: before he got onto the plane. So with that his background, 579 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: we also know that there have been other drone incidents 580 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: like this. For instance, just about the six weeks ago 581 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 2: out in California and out of VanderBurg, there was a 582 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: Chinese national who was also arrested for doing surveillance and 583 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: probing actions with his I believe it was a costco 584 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 2: purchase drone. So now we've got this case in New Jersey. 585 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 2: So what do we know about this one? Well, we're 586 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 2: starting to see some of the exact same things that 587 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 2: we saw. For instance, off the coast of Virginia, we 588 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: have at least thirty drones that followed a Coastguard vessel 589 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: that apparently originated off the coast, and there are other 590 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: drones that are then going onto the New Jersey shore, 591 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: going above critical infrastructure, to include an out military installation 592 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: called Picatinny, which of course is creating one five to 593 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 2: five artillery shell components that are going to Ukraine. So 594 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 2: you put all these things together, whether it be Virginia, 595 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: whether it be California, whether it be New Jersey, and 596 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: you start to put together a few things different possibilities. One, 597 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 2: could this be China related. Yeah, we've got a couple 598 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 2: of instances of this happening already. What would their goal be, well, 599 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: surveillance also just to probe to see how we respond. 600 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: That is valuable information. Much like the Chinese balloon from 601 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. They learn a lot just 602 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: by understanding what we do when we don't do what 603 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: we are currently allowed to do not do. We know 604 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: this week that the Pentagon told New Jersey, Yeah, you 605 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 2: guys have the authorities, the lawful authorities to shoot these 606 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: things down. New Jersey lawenforcements said, now we don't that's 607 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 2: a federal law. Oh so what does that say to 608 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: an adversary? It says we don't know what we're doing 609 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 2: because we don't. So that's the first piece. The Russians, clearly, 610 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: you know, one of the things that that Putin does 611 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: and Moscow has done for a long time. They like 612 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 2: to create and sow chaos inside of our country. They 613 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: like to try to exacerbate divisions, create anxiety and panic. 614 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 2: So the Russians are quite good at that. They've done 615 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 2: it for a long long time. So would it be 616 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: unusual that the Russians are trying to do that in 617 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: this case, you know, flying things over to make us 618 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 2: think about war of the worlds? Of course not. The 619 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: Russians would absolutely do that. Would they also be interested 620 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 2: in seeing our response to these probes as well? Sure? Sure, absolutely, 621 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: knowing that these things are coming off of the of 622 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: the shore. Absolutely. The third and final one hobbyists. You know, 623 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 2: these are just in some cases going to be some 624 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 2: people who are like, you know, they just like to 625 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 2: create chaos. You know, local ding dongs who are just 626 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: trying to they're trying to be join in on the fund, 627 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: So we could have a multitude of things here. Irrespective 628 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 2: of what this particular crashes of the video that you showed, 629 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: I think that they're probably now multiple actors. We could 630 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: be call this a little bit of a panic in 631 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: this area that's starting to set in, so calming that's 632 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 2: going to be very important. But that gets to the point. 633 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 2: If we had a plan, there wouldn't be all this panic. 634 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 2: We would have shot these things down weeks ago. We 635 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 2: could to figure out who's shooting them and driving them 636 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 2: and flying them and so forth. 637 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: But over a year. 638 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: Ago, when the Biden White House and his team got 639 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 2: this warning in Virginia, they have had a year to 640 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: figure out a plan. They have blown it. So what 641 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: does that tell our foreign adversaries or just some knucklehead 642 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: it wants to screw around. It's just that they're the 643 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 2: captain now this ship or this big lumbering giant that 644 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: allows bees to just sort of sting us. That I 645 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 2: think is the important lesson for all of us to 646 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: think about is this current White House had a year 647 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: from when a very similar incident happened in Virginia. They failed. 648 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 2: That's the important lesson here. Leadership matters in this country. 649 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 2: It's showing all of us right now very vulnerable to 650 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 2: this kind of threat. 651 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: Well, what's really kind of worrisome is that clearly our 652 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: airspace is not secured. I mean clearly. I mean because 653 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: if there has mat scenes, there has mat folks on 654 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: scene for a reason. Why, I mean, can these drones 655 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: be weaponized? I mean in New Jersey you hear reports 656 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: of some of these damn things being as big as cars, right, 657 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: you know, and heard reports and now one, by the. 658 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 2: Way, matches a Russian drone by the way, it does 659 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 2: it does? 660 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me, tell us what do you? 661 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,919 Speaker 2: What do you There's there's a drone that they use 662 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 2: that is for both surveillance and it's quite good at 663 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 2: disrupting like radio signals and other connections wireless devices. So 664 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: I could see that one. Again, we have a night 665 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 2: time footage, so it's hard to confirm, but I could 666 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 2: see that kind of drone engaged in all kinds of 667 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 2: nefarious activities, especially over Picatinny. I mean, that makes a 668 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 2: lot of sense to me, because look, we are in 669 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: the middle of a war with Russia. Can we not 670 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 2: forget that? Like everybody two hundred billion dollars into this war. 671 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: Dividen White House is ramping this thing up. We've had 672 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 2: a one point five billion dollars go out the door 673 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 2: over the past week to Ukraine to include drones and 674 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 2: all kinds of things. Do you don't think Moscow's gonna 675 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 2: find sort of asymmetric ways to punch back at us? 676 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: Of course they are. We know that they have a 677 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 2: massive spid based down in Mexico City. They pluss that up. 678 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 2: In fact, I think you and I talked about this 679 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 2: a number of months ago. They plussed up the number 680 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: of spies that they have operating in Mexico City. So 681 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 2: we should expect to see that the Russians are going 682 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 2: to punch us. We're punching the hell out of them 683 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 2: in Ukraine and in Russia. Why wouldn't Putin. 684 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: Hit us back? 685 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 2: Of course he would. You know, we're not the only 686 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 2: ones involved in this fight. So yes, we are apt 687 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 2: to see the Russians try to find ways to screw 688 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 2: with us, and this would be one of those great examples. 689 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: All right, stay right there. Can we talk about Syria 690 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: when we come back? Yes, all right, let me take 691 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: a quick break. May come right back with brianding right, 692 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: stay right there, man. Brian just so great to talk 693 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: talk to him about this stuff. He's so smart on 694 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: all this. Brian Dean right back on the show. So 695 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: can we talk about Sia. 696 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 2: Can you jump in real quick? So to the Good 697 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 2: Rangers foreign beef for a second. There's a huge screw 698 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 2: worm outbreak in Central America run by the cartels and 699 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 2: they're pushing this crap up into Mexico. We just blocked 700 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 2: Mexican imports of beef because of the screw worm outbreak. 701 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 2: So that's actually a big deal to have your own 702 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 2: domestic supply. American cattle herd is at the lowest rate 703 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 2: it has been since the nineteen sixties. That's a big deal. Also, 704 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 2: we got to talk about China and gold one of 705 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 2: these days. There's like they are secretly purchasing a crap 706 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 2: ton of gold trying to support their the new currency 707 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 2: to challenge a dollar. I'll come back and we'll talk 708 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: about that another time. But great supporters that you got. 709 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 710 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 1: Wait, that's okay, okay, So what is it? What's going 711 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: on in Mexico? What outbreak with what? Okay? 712 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 2: So diversion, I love it. So back in the nineteen sixties, 713 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 2: the United States got rid of something called screw worm. 714 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 2: It's a horrific, horrific thing where a fly will put 715 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 2: its larvae in an open wound, and it was in 716 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 2: the French penal colonies. It would get inside of the 717 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 2: human body and it would eat people from the inside out. 718 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 2: The only way you could do it is basically knock 719 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 2: them out and get a scalpel and pull out each 720 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 2: of the worms. It's horrific. 721 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: That's horrific. 722 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 2: Because of the open borders, we are having nine million 723 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 2: plus people. We got all those people coming through Central 724 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 2: America in parts of South America, which is where the 725 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 2: screw worm has been found historically. Well, they're bringing this 726 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 2: crap in and they're moving the screw worm up through 727 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 2: Central America into Mexico. They found a case of screw 728 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 2: worm which had been eradicated in this country in the 729 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 2: nineteen sixties through a really innovative program involving some flies 730 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 2: and basically neutering male flies. And anyway, the point is 731 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 2: we got rid of it. Now it's coming back right 732 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 2: or at least it's down in that southern Mexico state, 733 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 2: and that's because of people transiting through either they've got 734 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 2: it or their pets on them like a dog. Let's say, 735 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 2: all it takes is a little scratch. These things get 736 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 2: in there, and of course we're pushing a lot of 737 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: people on animals, so we're spreading the screw worm thing. 738 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 2: It's a huge deal, you know, God willing, we're gonna 739 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 2: be able to get on top of this. But it 740 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 2: has been sixty seven years since we've had to deal 741 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 2: with it in this country, and that could be horrific 742 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: if it gets into this nation. And that's why a 743 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 2: lot of ranchers right now are like, stop the border 744 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 2: crisis for lots of reasons, but one of them theos 745 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 2: of the screw where I'm thinking, so having a domestic 746 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,919 Speaker 2: supply of beef is a big deal. 747 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: Okay, So holy smokes, that is great intel to have. 748 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: But that's also why we love having you. Okay, can 749 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: you break down for us really what's going on in 750 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: Syria because everyone's acting like everyone in our government meant, 751 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: even some Republicans, Oh, this is amazing. Rebels have taken 752 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: over Syria. I mean, Assade's a class one douchebag. You know, 753 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: he's killed tens of thousands of his own people. 754 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 2: That's actually a Cia turm. I've seen that a cable 755 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 2: traffic Last one versus Class. 756 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: Two dictator extraordinary. He flees to Rush. I guess he 757 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: has a asylum there. I I so. But the people 758 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: who took over aren't necessarily good guys. Can you give 759 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: us a sense of what's happening there? 760 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 2: Oh, Lord, have mercy. So it's a mess, let's just 761 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 2: start with that. So at the end of the day, 762 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 2: there are lots of different clans and religions and tribes 763 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 2: and all kinds of people, where Syria for centuries has 764 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 2: been this kind of mixing bowl of all these different 765 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 2: kinds of people. That's good at all kinds of conflict. 766 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 2: Nineteen of the Ottoman Empire controlled it through the early 767 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 2: nineteen hundreds. It collapses inner World War One. France takes 768 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 2: over this region. They have it officially and unofficially until 769 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy more or less. That's when the Assad family 770 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 2: takes control, and they've basically governed that place for the past, 771 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 2: you know, sixty to fifty whatever years with an iron 772 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 2: fist to try to keep down all of these different 773 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 2: competing tribes and clans and religions. All right, So that 774 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 2: gets us to this point, which is these rebels that 775 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 2: were based in the northwestern part of Syria swat through 776 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: and taken over the joint The thing is, did this 777 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 2: rubbel group called the HTS Rebel group along with another 778 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 2: rebel group also in the northwest. Both of them are 779 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 2: backed by Turkey. Okay, so what do the turk squand 780 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 2: what the present air Towan of that country want. Well, 781 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 2: he's got about two million Syrian refugees in his country. 782 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 2: He wants them out, get out of here. So but 783 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 2: he needs Damascus in that country to be calm to 784 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 2: then kick all the people out because he doesn't want 785 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 2: them anymore. Also, Europe has billions of these same refugees, 786 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 2: and they would actually probably not as bluntly as air 787 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 2: Towan would say, but they want them out to at 788 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 2: least the conservatives in Europe. So you got a lot 789 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 2: of people also in other places, a lot of Syrians 790 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 2: who have left the civil war that started back in 791 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 2: twenty and eleven, now over ten years. Everybody wants to 792 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 2: send these Syrians home. So that's what these rebels are 793 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 2: promising to do, is to create stability. But what do 794 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 2: we know about these There are lots of rebel groups. 795 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 2: By the way, this latest rubber group to HTS now 796 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 2: they are absolutely connected to both Al kata Isis and 797 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 2: or their ideology. In fact, earlier this week, the now 798 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 2: acting Prime Minister of Syria, he delivered a speech in 799 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 2: a conversation with a bunch of folks in Damascus. Sitting 800 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 2: next to him were two flags. One was the flag 801 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 2: of Syria. The other was the flag that is often 802 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 2: used by Sunni Islamic jihadists, which is the flag that 803 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 2: talks about it's one of the key pillars of Islam, 804 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 2: which is God is the only God and Muhammad is 805 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 2: his prophet. So that flag sitting next to a guy 806 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 2: part of a movement that has been a Solofi or 807 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 2: a Sunni extremist Al kata Isis group, that makes a 808 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 2: lot of people nervous. Yeah, go figure. So that's why 809 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 2: the Christians, the small numbers of Christians in Syria, as 810 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 2: well as the Kurdish people up in the north eastern 811 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 2: port of Syria which is where we are at, and 812 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 2: lots of others like, they're very nervous. And that's why 813 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 2: these railers are going in and blowing up all the 814 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 2: Syrian military gear to make sure that these rebels don't 815 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 2: have stuff to blow up anybody else, certainly the Israelis. 816 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 2: It's a mess now. But the question that I think 817 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 2: most of us need to be wrestling with this why 818 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 2: are we there? Why do we have a thousand people 819 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 2: based in the northeastern part of Syria right now? Why 820 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 2: do we have Kourdish backed rebels on our side? What's 821 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 2: the point? Well, historically, the argument, well back in twenty 822 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,320 Speaker 2: thirteen and fourteen when Obama was president, was we need 823 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 2: to kick assad out of government. Well now the argument 824 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 2: is we need to stay there to prevent ISIS or 825 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 2: soon the extremism from becoming dominant. Well OOPSI DOPSI the 826 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 2: new guys running Damascus, they're Islamic radicals, they're the Sunni nationalists. 827 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 2: So what the point is is our mission there in Syria? 828 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 2: At this way? It's minimal. So President air Towan, he 829 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 2: has already started in His rebels have already started to 830 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 2: attack our rebels. Now the question becomes, at one point, 831 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 2: is he going to attack you as service members? That's 832 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 2: the big risk. President air Towan, I think has made 833 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 2: that not so subtle risk or assessment or threat this 834 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 2: weekend last week, our Secretary of State Tony Blincoln just 835 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 2: went over there to try to get air Towan to say, 836 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 2: We're not going to attack your people. They're gonna work 837 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 2: it out. Bottom line, Donald Trump says we should get out. 838 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 2: I agree with him. Let the Turks take over the 839 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 2: anti Isis mission. Although Isis guys are running Damascus now, 840 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 2: so I don't even know what the hell's going on there. 841 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 2: But the point is that's a wreck. So I think, 842 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,439 Speaker 2: you know, one drop of American blood over this fight 843 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 2: is not worth it. But we do have some interest 844 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 2: in trying to take care of the people that we 845 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 2: work with, called the Kurdish people. We should probably try 846 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 2: to make sure they don't get slaughtered by all these 847 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 2: Isis guys. That makes sense, and also work with like 848 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 2: the Jordanians and the Rockies to make sure that this 849 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 2: extremism doesn't drip back into their countries. That makes sense. 850 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 2: And then of course we've got our friends in Israel. 851 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 2: We don't want to make sure that they don't get slaughtered, 852 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 2: but yet another group of Islamis who want to kill them, 853 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 2: so I think that they are ways to manage this conflict. 854 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 2: I don't think we need thousands of our US soldiers' 855 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 2: boots on the ground to solve it. 856 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: Geeze Okay, So, speaking of escalating conflict, there was a 857 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: report that came out by ABC News that in two 858 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: and a half year of war, one million Ukrainian soldiers 859 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: have died and hundreds of thousands have lost limbs. And 860 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: now Ukraine is sending drones to Syrian Islamic rebels. What 861 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 1: the hell? I mean, talk about a complicated situation and 862 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: making it somehow more complex. I mean, it's what's going 863 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 1: on with all this? 864 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is a disaster. But here here's the 865 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 2: way I out need to unpack this. Back in twenty 866 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 2: twenty two, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the 867 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 2: goal of ours in Syria or in Ukraine is to 868 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 2: degrade the Russian military and the Russian government. Again, let 869 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 2: me just repeat that the goal of being involved in 870 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 2: Ukraine is to create a meat grinder, a war of 871 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 2: attrition such that we destroyed the Russian state in the 872 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 2: Russian military. That was the goal. So what we are 873 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 2: now learning is that a part of that is we're 874 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 2: going to all this money, all this war material and druns. 875 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 2: We're giving this stuff to Ukraine and Ukraine is then 876 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 2: taking that plus our intelligence and going all around the 877 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 2: world to try to destroy the Russian military to try 878 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 2: to degrade just like Secretary Austin said that we would do. 879 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,280 Speaker 2: We're not doing it directly. We're using the Ukraine Ukrainians 880 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 2: as our proxy force to do that. So what do 881 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 2: we know. We know that they're doing that in two places. 882 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 2: We learned this week that the Ukrainians are sending their 883 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 2: drone personnel and trainers and about one hundred and fifty 884 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 2: drones to Islamic fighters. These are al kadas, straight up 885 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 2: ideologically aligned crazy people, radical Islamis. Our money and our 886 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 2: Ukrainian fighters are now going over and training these Syrian radicals, 887 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 2: these Islamis. That is an addition to the fact what 888 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 2: you and I talked about over the summer, which is 889 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 2: the Ukrainians doing the same thing in the sahell of Africa, 890 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 2: the central part of Africa. So Ukraine is sending their 891 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 2: drones and their trainers to work with the Islamic radicals 892 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 2: in Africa to try to destroy the Russian military forces 893 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 2: that are operating in countries like Burkina, Fosso and these 894 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 2: jair and the rest of it. You've got this expanding 895 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 2: war from not just Ukraine, but this broader goal of 896 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 2: trying to weaken the Russian state, and they're doing it 897 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 2: not only inside of Ukraine but also around the world. 898 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 2: And if this seems just too crazy to be true, 899 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 2: the Ukrainian government itself, but so military has acknowledged that 900 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 2: this is what they're doing. It's been reported in the 901 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,760 Speaker 2: Kiev Post, amongst others. Their deputy chief of military Intel 902 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 2: has acknowledged this the British press. So this isn't some 903 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,319 Speaker 2: sort of conspiracy theory. So that's what is happening. This 904 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 2: war is going global and getting getting back to the 905 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 2: drone story in this country. Would it be so hard 906 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 2: to believe that the Russians or one of their friends 907 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 2: might be doing this to screw with us, because we're 908 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 2: doing this to them in places like Syria and Africa. 909 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 2: It's not a stretch at all. So that's why this 910 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 2: war in Ukraine, amongst many reasons, is so horrific. And 911 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,280 Speaker 2: I think you led with one of the most important, 912 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 2: which is there are one hundred dred plus thousand Ukrainian 913 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: men who are dead. We talked about this before, but 914 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 2: we're also learning Reuters' News service Bloomberg and others have 915 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 2: reported this week that they've got about ninety five tho 916 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 2: Ukrainian men who have deserted because they don't want to 917 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 2: fight anymore. They're trying to get into Romania and Poland. 918 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 2: These are poor men and mostly in their forties and fifties. 919 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 2: By the way, they don't want to die anymore. They 920 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 2: want this war over. So that's why this war is 921 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 2: just such a disaster, for the disaster of the Ukrainian people. 922 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 2: Ukrainian men now spreading this drone stuff to Islamic radicals 923 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 2: in Africa and the Middle East through a proxy. It's 924 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 2: just a disaster. When is January? Where's Donald Trump? And 925 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,320 Speaker 2: this it's crazy? 926 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of Trump, the Africa US border Somaliland like 927 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, stashing they're sending illegal aliens to or at 928 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,760 Speaker 1: least Somalians to Somaliland. Like what's going on there? 929 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, buddy, this is a good story. It's a great story, 930 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 2: all right. So right now, we've got a whole bunch 931 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 2: of people in this country who shouldn't be here, nine 932 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 2: million or so illegal aliens. We want to send them home, yay, 933 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 2: But unfortunately some countries don't want to take back their 934 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,839 Speaker 2: riff raft now not a big surprise, in part because 935 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 2: they're you know, murders and whatever, but also just they 936 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 2: just don't want to take back their people. They were 937 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,399 Speaker 2: happy to get rid of excess number of humans. That's 938 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 2: the case of a lot of countries in Africa that 939 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,839 Speaker 2: they're citizens are now here. So what do we do 940 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 2: if they're not going to let us land our plane 941 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 2: with all these illegals, how do we get rid of them? Well, 942 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 2: there is this little breakaway region of Somalia called Somali Land. 943 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 2: It is on the Gulf of Aiden. If people got 944 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 2: their maps, it's just across the gulf from Yemen. A 945 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 2: little country next to it called Djibouti. But it is 946 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 2: a breakaway region that's actually quite safe. They've got their 947 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 2: own free and fair elections. They just elected a new 948 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,399 Speaker 2: president actually of Somali Land. Nobody recognizes them though it's 949 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,320 Speaker 2: a breakaway region. A lot of countries say no, we 950 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 2: want to recognize the whole of Somalia with the capital 951 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 2: of Mogadishu. Well, what would be a great possible solution 952 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 2: is if we recognize as breakaway terria territory called it 953 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 2: Somali Land, but we recognize it as Donald Trump and 954 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 2: his team want to do. We say, sure, we're going 955 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 2: to recognize you as a new nation, but you have 956 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 2: to take our African illegals. That's part of the deal. 957 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna send over a bunch of planes all the illegals 958 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 2: that we don't want, put them in a prison. I 959 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 2: don't know, put them in a zoo. We don't care. 960 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 2: We don't want them. So that's the deal that the 961 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 2: Trumpet administration, I think is wrestling with. Should they recognize 962 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 2: this breakaway territory as a country, and if so, what 963 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 2: do we get out of it. This is when the 964 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,799 Speaker 2: trump Man, who likes to do deals, comes into play, 965 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 2: and so that's what I'm watching for the next number 966 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 2: of months. Do we recognize them and do we start 967 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 2: shipping off our African illegals? If so. 968 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 1: Brian, I was talking to one of my other CIA buddies. 969 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: I got two How dare. 970 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 2: You cheat on me? This is I am outraged. 971 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: He's like he's like gone dark, He's like out of 972 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,280 Speaker 1: the country doing some secret squirrel stuff. I don't know, Yeah, 973 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: but he was. He was talking to me about how 974 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: not only has Venezuela sent trend Agua or this this 975 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: violent Venezuelan gang here. They also sent a Venezuelan prison 976 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,359 Speaker 1: gang called the Promise here to America. And this is 977 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 1: like basically a group of Venezuelan prison assassins and there 978 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,040 Speaker 1: are apparently thousands of them here. 979 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 2: Is that bad? 980 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 1: Yeah? I just. 981 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 2: Had a border and interviewed people and kept them out. 982 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 1: Is that the point? 983 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 2: Oh, I'll be damned. 984 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 1: I just honestly cannot understand for the life of me, 985 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 1: the justification for allowing this. I mean, I know that 986 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: the Left hates this country, but that they want to 987 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: destroy this country because it certainly seems that way. 988 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,880 Speaker 2: Brother, there's also Brazilian prison gangs. It's not just Venezuelan. 989 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 2: We got all kinds of prison gangs now coming up 990 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 2: into this country and setting up shop. 991 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I mean I know that open. 992 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: I just are these like violent revolutionaries, these democrats that 993 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,399 Speaker 1: want to overthrow the country because that's what they would 994 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 1: and that's what somebody who was trying to actively destroy 995 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: this country would allow if they had a right. I mean, 996 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: it's just how do you say, if you're in this 997 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: Biden administration, like, what's the justification? You can't possibly think 998 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 1: it's okay to have these violent prison gangs here. 999 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 2: Well, first, just the data on this is this week 1000 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,880 Speaker 2: the New York Times published the fact that, yes, this 1001 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 2: is the biggest dump of foreign nationals into this country 1002 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 2: ever in American history, even before you know, the early 1003 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 2: nineteen hundreds and into the late eighteen hundreds. So that 1004 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 2: really is the magnitude. So when people start talking about invasion, 1005 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 2: it was that was never bad or big of it, 1006 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,359 Speaker 2: or race asked to say it was true. Right, So now, 1007 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 2: of course the question becomes, well, why did they allow 1008 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 2: this invasion? What was the point? Yeah, so I think 1009 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 2: that there are different motivations. Some Democrats on the left 1010 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 2: are kind of your John Lennon democrat, you know, Lenin 1011 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,319 Speaker 2: Democrats were like, you know, let's all get into a 1012 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,240 Speaker 2: trust circle and let people in from around the world. 1013 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 2: They're just naiven the stupid. 1014 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: You also have. 1015 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,359 Speaker 2: Marxists, of course, who are like, hey, human lays needs 1016 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 2: to be able to cross the borders just like capital does. 1017 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 2: That's another argument. And then you have demons. And I 1018 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 2: really mean this truly, I believe that there are some 1019 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,840 Speaker 2: people who just don't care that you open up a border. 1020 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 2: And some of those people are going to be, you know, 1021 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 2: chaos agents. I think there are chaos agents inside of 1022 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. Let me just give you one sort 1023 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 2: of demonic example. The governor of Massachusetts encouraged her citizens, 1024 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 2: along with the mayor of Boston, to let people, these 1025 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 2: migrants or illegal aliens go into their homes stay in 1026 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 2: their homes because they were overfilled with all their various 1027 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 2: gyms they were filling up. What happened, none of these 1028 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,879 Speaker 2: people were vetted, and now we have cases where these 1029 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 2: illegal aliens were raping children throughout the state. We have 1030 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 2: these cases now. So why would you know, knowing that 1031 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 2: these people were not properly vetted, as a governor, as 1032 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 2: a mayor, why would you encourage your citizens to open 1033 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:58,240 Speaker 2: their doors to these people. I'm sorry, it is demonic, 1034 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 2: and that's you know. I believe in evil, and I 1035 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 2: believe in good, and I believe that God is real 1036 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 2: and so is Satan. And I think that, you know, 1037 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 2: not not to go too crazy on this, but I 1038 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 2: do think that that is an element of this. There 1039 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 2: is a certain amount of sort of demonic motivation here 1040 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 2: by some of these folks on the left, because otherwise 1041 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 2: I just don't it starts to become inexplainable. 1042 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,799 Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, I mean, okay, so can we talk some 1043 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: good news about coffee. Everything's awful, yes, yes, coffee is 1044 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: very expensive, but there's also some good research coming out 1045 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: of Portray tell us about. We got a lot of 1046 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,080 Speaker 1: coffee drinkers on this show. 1047 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 2: Amazing. I'm also a coffee drinker, eighteen cups a day. 1048 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 2: So here's the bottom line. So, Vietnam and Brazil two 1049 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,959 Speaker 2: important countries to think about if you like coffee. About 1050 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 2: sixty percent of the world's coffee comes from those two places, 1051 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 2: so I pay attention to those spots. They've had a 1052 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 2: lot of droughts and a lot of flooding, terrible last 1053 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,760 Speaker 2: couple of years. That's why this year we've seen about 1054 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 2: eighty four percent increase of Arabica prices, some of the 1055 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,400 Speaker 2: cheaper beans coming out of Vietnam. That's step about seventy 1056 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,800 Speaker 2: eight seventy seven percent. So that's why you're paying a 1057 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 2: lot more for coffee. By the way, if you've seen it, 1058 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 2: but you should still keep drinking it. By the way, 1059 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 2: if you want to say, oh, I'll just drink cocoa 1060 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,399 Speaker 2: or something. Sorry, that's up fifty percent this year because 1061 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 2: of bad cocoa prices and conditions in Ghana and County Wois. 1062 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 2: But the point is with coffee, it's good. Some great 1063 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 2: research out of Portugal and also University of Washington University 1064 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 2: showing that basically what we're seeing is in the gut. 1065 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 2: People who drink coffee have outwards of eight times more 1066 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,440 Speaker 2: of a specific bacteria that creates something called buterate, and 1067 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:39,879 Speaker 2: that creates some really really wonderful anti inflammatory processes, some 1068 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 2: really good brain gut health or gut connection. So that 1069 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 2: might help with things like in Alzheimer's or a dementia. 1070 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,799 Speaker 2: Keeps that gut really really clean and really boosted full 1071 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 2: of really good stuff. So there's some good science coming 1072 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 2: out of that as well as some really fascinating stuff 1073 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 2: out of Portugal. Your right to say that they are 1074 00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:00,840 Speaker 2: showing this really wonderful general decrease of life of bad things. 1075 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 2: In other words, you just tend to live longer drinking coffee, 1076 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 2: and those years that you do live longer, you're healthier. Again, 1077 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 2: this probably gets back to the gut connection and that 1078 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,839 Speaker 2: bacterial universe that is in our guts. So if you're 1079 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 2: a coffee drinker, they say around three cups a day, 1080 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 2: but you're just based on your body. But there are 1081 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,400 Speaker 2: really some wonderful medical benefits and now science is catching 1082 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 2: up to help us understand exactly why that is. 1083 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: So do they recommend eighteen cups a day? 1084 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 3: Not? 1085 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,680 Speaker 2: Usually? Not usually. That is just what I do because 1086 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 2: I work fourteen plus hours a day and I got 1087 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 2: to do something. And apparently cocaine is illegal unless you're 1088 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,239 Speaker 2: a Hunter Biden, and then it's fine and you can 1089 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 2: actually do it in bathrooms in the White House. Unfortunately, 1090 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 2: I'm not a Biden, so I got to stick with 1091 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 2: the coffee. 1092 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: All right, Brian, tell us where we can find you, 1093 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: my friend at the White House. 1094 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be doing a coca Hunter, so I'll see 1095 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 2: you there soon.
