1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,359 Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us. 2 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 2: Right down our toll free telephone number if you want 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 2: to be a part of the program, it is eight 4 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want to 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: join us. You know, pretty amazing here you have President 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 2: Trump and we've gone through the list of areas you know, 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: around the world, India, Pakistan, Iran and Israel and Armenian, 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: Azerbaijan and Cambodia and Rwanda and you know, the Congo, 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: and it goes on and on and on that the 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: President has expended political capital in the name of trying 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: to negotiate a peace. 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: He's used the power of tariffs. 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: This is going to be a very very important, critical 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: Supreme Court decision, I do believe. While constitutionally, you know, 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: you can understand the argument about Congress having issues and 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: power over tariffs, but the president also needs it for 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: his constitutional authority and role. And this president, more than 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: any other, is using it, the tariff issue as a 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: leverage point for him to prevent wars. 20 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: And that's a big deal. 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: It was not a surprise to me that the President, 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: in spite of all these efforts which have been you know, 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: it's herculean in many ways to try and bring about 24 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: world peace and has been successful in so many areas. 25 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: With the latest development, I mean, I don't think any 26 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: of us really thought in our lifetime we'd see the 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: people of Kaza and the people of Israel both celebrating simultaneously, 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: as we played on the program yesterday. And that's all happening, 29 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: and you know, outcomes the Nobel Peace Prize today, and 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: of course it didn't go to Donald J. 31 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: Trump. 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: You know, some people are defending the Nobel Prize's decision 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: not to award the President by pointing out, well, the 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: nominations for the twenty twenty five piece prize were closed 35 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: twenty Well, this is really for the year twenty twenty 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: four was closed out nine months ago, before this historic 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: Mini's peace deal. But it doesn't reflect the magnitude and 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: the effort that the president has put into peace around 39 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: the world. And anyway, so the Nobel Committee's deadline nominations 40 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: were January thirty first, the only days into the president's 41 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: second term of office. All right, I guess they can 42 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: use that as an excuse. We checked the record. As 43 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: it turns out, the Nobel Committee had absolutely no problem 44 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: whatsoever nominating Barack Obama for the two thousand and nine 45 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: Nobel Peace Prize, even though the nomination for two thousand 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: and nine deadline was the exact same day, which is 47 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: January thirty first, two thousand and nine, and this decision 48 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: so bizarre that even Obama noted that the nomination seemed, 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: you know, it seemed hard to justify. In a thirty 50 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: six minute speech accepting the nomination, Obama discussed the tensions 51 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: between war and peace and the idea idea of a 52 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: just war. Perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt 53 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: of this prize is the fact that I am the 54 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: commander in chief of the military of a nation in 55 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: the midst of two wars, and those who were passed 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: over so that Obama could be awarded the Peace Prize 57 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: included the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, who had been considered 58 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: a favor for. 59 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: The award at that time. 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: And responding to the controversy over the Obama award, the 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: Nobel Committee chair explained, no one could deny the international 62 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: climate had suddenly improved now that mister Obama was and 63 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: he was the main reason. 64 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I could do that. 65 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: Here's an interesting side note to this, so the winner 66 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: of the Nobel Peace Prize is a woman that is 67 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: actually very courageous, and she is the Venezuelan opposition. Maria 68 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: Carino Machado is her name. And what was fascinating is 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: she received the award and she posted on x he 70 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald J. Trump 71 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: and his support for her cause, after the Nobel Committee 72 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: again declined to bestow Trump himself with the award. Quote, 73 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: this recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a 74 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: boost to conclude our task, which to conquer, you know, 75 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: for freedom. And she went on and she said, we 76 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: are on the threshold of victory. And today, more than ever, 77 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 2: we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, 78 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: the people the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic 79 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: nations of our world as our principled allies to achieve 80 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering 81 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive 82 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: support of our cause. His dedication did not come out 83 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: of the blue. The Trump administration has been working to 84 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: pressure them or government in Venezuela at the crackdown on 85 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: their drug trafficking efforts, and considering they've not been too 86 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: particularly cooperative. We've been watching what's been happening with these 87 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: narco terrorist boats that are being shot out of the sea. 88 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Thatt and Yahoo knocked the Nobel 89 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: Committee after President Trump failed to win the group's coveted 90 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: Peace Prize. Quote the Nobel Committee talks about peace. President 91 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: at reel, Donald Trump makes it happen. The Israeli Prime 92 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: Minister's office posted on x the facts speak for themselves. 93 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: President Trump deserves it. The post in response to the 94 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: White House spokesman Stephen Chung, who suggested the committee be 95 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: played that the committee plays politics over peace. In a 96 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: side note to this, the President is going now on 97 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: Sunday to visit Israel. On Monday, he will speak before 98 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 2: the Kanessid and visit Israel ahead of the release of 99 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: these remaining hostages in Gaza, speak before the Kanesse, meet 100 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and reportedly land a Bengorian airport, 101 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: and speak alongside not only the Prime Minister but President 102 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: Isaac Herzog. According to reports, following these speeches, he may 103 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: go meet with the hostage families. The President also promised 104 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: pitar and Egyptian mediators he's going to meet, and Turkey 105 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: leaders that he would meet as well, that Israel Israel 106 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 2: won't return to fighting. Well, they're not going to return 107 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: to fighting. But really that decision is going to be 108 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: in the hands of Hamas. If Amas starts firing rockets, 109 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's it is beyond disconcerting. There was 110 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: a poll that came out of a new Quinnipiac survey 111 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: that came out forty three percent of New Yorkers favored 112 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: the Palestinians versus twenty two percent of the side with Israel. 113 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: And according to the Quinnipiac Pole, you know, the Republicans 114 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: favor Israel over the Palstinians fifty three to eleven. So 115 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: this is a red blue issue in many, many ways. 116 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: And you have the anti Semitic, you know, members of 117 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: Congress and the the virulent you know, rhetoric that we've 118 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: heard out of the squad members, et cetera, et cetera. 119 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: It is very, very frustrating. And this is why I 120 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: try to I try to cloak this argument in terms 121 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: that we can understand, because what happened on October seventh 122 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: is there is a little over nine million. A population 123 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: of nine million in Israel. It is not a big country. 124 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: It is about the size of New Jersey. And I 125 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: keep pointing out, and have pointed out from day one, 126 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: since October seventh, what two years, four days ago, that 127 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: if you look at the fifteen hundred Israelis that were 128 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: slaughtered that day, and I've looked at the videos the 129 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: IDF showed me in private, you know, the actual videos 130 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: taken by these murdering, you know, kidnapping, raping thugs of 131 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: Hamas because they were proud of what it was that 132 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: they were doing. But the level of ignorance to me 133 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: is breathtaking among some. And this is part of the problem. 134 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: I think people were sympathetic in the beginning, but they 135 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: don't really understand the magnitude of it. Because when you 136 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: compare such a small population, just compare it to America's population. 137 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: What's our population now lived at three hundred and sixty 138 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: million Americans, whatever the number is, compared to nine million, 139 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: that would be the equivalent of forty thousand dead Americans 140 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: in a single day. And if you ask yourself, what 141 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: would you expect your country to do if you knew 142 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: that forty thousand Americans were killed in one day, and 143 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: that others were taken hostage, and that others were raped, 144 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: and that others were beheaded, kiddennapped. All of these things happen, 145 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: and I have a hard time understanding, you know how 146 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: in two years time it evolved into an issue of well, 147 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: how is Israel responding? And then there's a level of 148 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: ignorance as to the events leading up to this. And 149 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: having been to Israel numerous times and reported from Israel 150 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 2: numerous times, it is frustrating that so many people they've 151 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: never been in the terror tunnel networks that I have 152 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: been in and reported from. They've never been to those 153 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: border towns that I have been to. One town in particular, 154 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: over ten thousand rockets fired into their one little border 155 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: town with Gaza in ten years. They've never seen the devastation. 156 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 2: They don't know what it's like to live life under 157 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: those conditions. And I just say, if it was ever 158 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: happening in America, I promise you would have a very 159 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: different perspective and a very different desire of what the 160 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: conclusion and outcome should be. And it's not like Israel 161 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: is asking as much as some people would argue, as 162 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 2: much from the United States as you think, yes, we 163 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: do support them, Yes they are allied. They're the only 164 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 2: democracy in the region. And you know, can you blame them, 165 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: but when their very survival is literally in jeopardy and 166 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: hanging in the balance, as they've been surrounded by enemies. 167 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: And this is what makes what President Trump pulled off 168 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: here so difficult. He had to thread one needle after another. 169 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: You know, Arab nations that have wanted no part of 170 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: being involved in a solution for the region. You know, 171 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: he was able to get them on board and committed 172 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: to that process. The President was able to persuade the 173 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: Israelis were perfectly positioned to go in and knock out 174 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: Hamas once and for all and finish the job and 175 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: decimate the place, and the President, because of the great 176 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: relationship that he's built up with Israel, was able to 177 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: convince the Prime Minister not to do that. The presidents similarly, 178 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: you know, spoke very loudly, and he is respected in 179 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: that part of the world. I know because I was 180 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: with him on the trip to the Gulf States. I 181 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: sought firsthand the level of respect that they have for 182 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: this president, a respect for his strength, the fact that 183 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: he wants a peaceful coexistence and to have trade deals 184 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: and business deals. And you know, I mean there is 185 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: I probably do beyond the Israelis. I'll tell you the 186 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: next happiest people that are that exist in the world 187 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: that are that Donald Trump took out Iranian nuclear sites, 188 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: it would be the Arab world. And I just said 189 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: this yesterday. You know that he never got credit in 190 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: his first term that he created a coalition that I 191 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: never thought I'd see in my lifetime, and that was 192 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: you had intelligence sharing, cooperation. 193 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: At a level nobody knew about. 194 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: I knew about it because of different sources that I 195 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: have and they were informing me about it. But trust me, 196 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: there's no love loss between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and 197 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: the UAE and the Kataris and the Egyptians and Jordanians, 198 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: and they all feared Iranian hegemony and a nuclear armed Iran, 199 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: and they partnered with the US and with israel An 200 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: intelligence sharing and there was probably you know, I think 201 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 2: without taking out those Iranian nuclear sides, I don't think 202 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: what happened this week would have actually happened. Now we 203 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: got to get to the phase two of this aspect, 204 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 2: and I think we will. By the way, you got 205 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: to tip your hat to the First Lady, Milania Trump 206 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 2: studying journalists Friday, announcing that she had an open channel 207 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,479 Speaker 2: with the Russian President Vladimir Putin to secure the reunification 208 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: of kidnapped Ukrainian children with their families. Is that eight 209 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 2: kids have been returned to families over the past twenty 210 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: four hours, including one who was brought from Ukraine to 211 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: her family in Russia, and plans are already underway for 212 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 2: further reunifications. The First Lady wrote a letter to Putin 213 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: that was delivered at President Trump's August fifteenth, Alaska summit 214 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: with his Russian counterport counterpart. And much has unfolded since 215 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: President Putin received my letter, she said. Putin replied to 216 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: her letter and quote since the President, since President Putin 217 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: and I have an open channel of communication, you know, 218 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: she described several back channel meetings and calls that have 219 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 2: taken place. My representative has been working directly with President 220 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: Putin's team to connect children with their families. And she 221 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: accomplished that maybe she should get a peace prize too, 222 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: But you know, don't expect you know, goodness, by the way, 223 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: we have insane debate audio. What's going on in New 224 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: Jersey and in Virginia. Wow, these races are heating up. 225 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 2: I think maybe with some of the most embarrassing moments 226 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: in gubernatorial debate history, especially in the Commonwealth of Virginia. 227 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We have a lot to get 228 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: to today. 229 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: We'll get legal analysis on the indictment of Letitia James. 230 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 2: Jack Chidarelli deglubinatorial candidate from New Jersey will join us. 231 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: He's really in this race. And I believe that wins 232 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: Sears is making a massive comeback as well. It's one 233 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: last thing on what's happened this week in the history 234 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: of this week, all these lawmakers demanding that have been 235 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: demanding a ceasefire in Gaza over the past two years, 236 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: eerily silent now since Donald Trump actually secured one with 237 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas on Wednesday. You know, well, where are 238 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: the squad members? Where's Congresswoman to leave that said, you know, 239 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a 240 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: ceasefire and help the escalate. Where's she? You know, she 241 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: had nothing to say about our sitting president. Leader of 242 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: the squad. Another frequent voice calling for a ceasefire? Why 243 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: is she so quiet? 244 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: Quiet? 245 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: You know, why are Democrats in general so quiet as 246 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: Congresswoman Jayapaul, you know, call for an immediate and permanent 247 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: ceasefire on the two year anniversary of October seventh. Oopsie, Daisy, 248 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: you know she's not commented since Trump announced the deal? 249 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: Why is that? 250 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: Where's Congressman Omar, you know, one of the most outspoken 251 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: supporters of the Palestinian causing in Congress, issuing a lukewarm 252 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: response to the good news, saying, well, but the sake 253 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: of humanity, let's hope this will be a lasting, im 254 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: permanent ceasefire, and then demanded that Israel be punished. Unbelievable. 255 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: What part of forty the equivalent of forty thousand dead Americans? 256 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: Doesn't she get those sick of ignorant people. Schumer's out there? 257 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: How came Jeffries out there praising the Mid East peace deal? 258 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: But no mention of Donald Trump? I mean, this is 259 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: how petty the Democratic Party has become. And you know 260 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: how lacking encouraged Schumer is. He doesn't want to alienate 261 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: his radical base anymore. Anyway, The so called leader of 262 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: the Senate, he's really leader in name only issued this 263 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: statement on the amazingly good news that President Trump has 264 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: engineered this peace deal, but he didn't mention Donald Trump. 265 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: I mean, nowhere in Schumer's statement on this miraculous piece 266 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: deal of the words Donald Trump ever appeared, not once. 267 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: Nowhere doesn't happen. Does any of this surprise you? It shouldn't, 268 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: because this represents the radicalization of the Democratic Party today. 269 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: And it's so far worse than we ever thought, you know. 270 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: And now Trump is embarking on this trip to the 271 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: Middle East, and you're getting worldwide praise. You are getting 272 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: some Democratic praise as well, to be fair, But he's 273 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: gonna embark on this trip, He's going to speak before 274 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: the Kanesset, and you know, you have to hope let's 275 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: see these hostages get released, Let's see phase two. I 276 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 2: think one thing you've got to understand in factor in 277 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: here is if there was any leverage that Hamas might 278 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 2: have had, you know, by agreeing to phase one of 279 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: this deal, that leverage will be gone. And I think 280 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: President Trump's you know, give he gave them a plain choice, 281 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: take the deal or get obliterated. Doesn't get any more 282 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: clear than that, not unlike what he did with Iran, 283 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: not unlike by the way what he's doing and what 284 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 2: he promised Vladimir putin different circumstances, different country. You know, 285 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: we're dealing with nuclear weapons as something you have to 286 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: factor in. He's taken the handcuffs off the Ukrainians. They're 287 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: now pounding Russian refine in a massive way. Reuters reporting 288 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: that the Russians now have have long lines and people 289 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: waiting to buy and purchase gasoline as a result of this. 290 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: The lifeblood of Russia's economy is is gas period, it's 291 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: oil period. And then the president putting tariffs on countries 292 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: that do business with Russia. 293 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: It's having a massive effort. 294 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 2: Speaker Gingrich pointed out that when the House passed the 295 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: budget that would have kept the government open without increasing spending, 296 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: and it was blocked by the Democrats, the clean cr 297 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: what is a clean r continuing resolution that means that 298 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 2: you keep the government open, funding at current levels. 299 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: And once the. 300 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 2: Public found out about that, all of a sudden, well, 301 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 2: you know, nearly forty percent of Americans they blame the Democrats. 302 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 2: You're always going to have, you know, thirty percent of 303 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 2: the radical left that will blame Republicans for nothing. What 304 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: the Democrats are saying the opposite of what they have 305 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 2: said their entire careers, like Chucky Schumer, Oh, you can't 306 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 2: shut down the government. Now we're feeling the impact of 307 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: it as of really right now, I mean this is now, 308 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: as of next week, the paychecks stopped going out ap reporting. 309 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: The White House Budget Office said today that mass firings 310 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: of federal workers have now started in an attempt to 311 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 2: let people that as a result of the Schumer shutdown, 312 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: now and these these firings, according to President Trump, may 313 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: end up being permanent. Russ Voight, director of OMB, said 314 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 2: on x that RIfS have begun that means reduction enforced 315 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: plans aimed at reducing the size of the federal government. 316 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 2: A spokesperson for the Budget Office said the reductions are substantial, 317 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 2: but did not offer any more immediate details. The Education 318 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 2: Department among the agencies hit by new layoffs. A department 319 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: spokesperson said earlier today about providing more details. The Department 320 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: of laid off forty one hundred employees when Trump took 321 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: office in January. Its workforce was nearly had amid mass 322 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: layoffs in the Republican administration's first months. At the start 323 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: of the shutdown, it had twenty five hundred employees, and 324 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: now many of them are going. 325 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: To be furloughed. So how long will Chuck keep going? Now? 326 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 2: I guess the quote of the week is, you know, 327 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: Chucky Schumer just two days ago, every day gets better 328 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 2: for us, you know, crowing about extending the shutdown. Now, 329 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: let me play a montage with Schumer over the years 330 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 2: talking about the dangers of the shutdowns, and then ask 331 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 2: yourself what has changed in Chucky Schumer. I can tell 332 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: you what it is before you hear it. It is 333 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: his desire to cling on to power, which, by the way, 334 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 2: he will not be successful at He's he's right now 335 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: leader in name only to begin with. But if he's 336 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: challenged by AOC, his political career is over. 337 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: It's done. 338 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: I'll mention a name to Chuck Schumer, one that he 339 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: will readily remember, Alfonse de Motto. That's what we beat 340 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 2: to become the senator in New York. He will be 341 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: Alfonse de Motto, and he will retire from the US Senate. Anyway, 342 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 2: here's Chucky in years gone by. 343 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 3: What if I persuaded my cause to say I'm going 344 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: to shut the government down? I am going to not 345 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 3: pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a 346 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. 347 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: It's sort of like this. 348 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 3: Someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage, 349 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 3: and then says, let's negotiate over the price of your house. 350 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 3: You know, we could do the same thing on immigration, 351 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 3: because we believe strongly in immigration reform. We could say 352 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: we're shutting down the government. We're not going to raise 353 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 3: the debt ceiling until you pass immigration reform. It would 354 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 3: be governmental chaos. Speaker McCarthy needs to stop letting the 355 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: MAGA radicals drive his decisions and do the obvious and 356 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 3: sensible thing, follow the Senate's lead and pass a bipartisan 357 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 3: cr to prevent this reckless shutdown. We do not want 358 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: to let a Trump temper tantrum governor policies will caused 359 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 3: the shutdown of a government which everyone on both sides 360 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 3: of the isles knows is the wrong idea. 361 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: No, that was then, this is now and Chuck Schumer again, 362 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 2: leader in name only, is scared to death of the 363 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 2: radicals that run his party. What a change, Pretty dramatic. 364 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 2: I want to go to the Senate debate. I'm sorry 365 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 2: the gubernatorial debate. Sorry about that because we have Jack 366 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 2: Chidarelli at the top, and then later we'll talk more 367 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 2: about this. There were two remarkable exchanges in this debate 368 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: that took place in Virginia between Abigail Spanberger and Lieutenant 369 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 2: Governor Wins some merl sears, and I'm beginning to think 370 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: that the house of cards for Abigail Spamberger is now 371 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: collapsing in the in the Commonwealth of Virginia. One exchange, 372 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: they had to ask her four times about the issue of, 373 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: you know, allowing biological boys in girls' locker rooms. To 374 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 2: listen to how she won't answer the question. 375 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 4: Focusing on a K through twelve school system, should transgender 376 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 4: girls who are biological males be allowed to use girls' 377 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 4: bathrooms and play on girls sports teams? You have sixty seconds. 378 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 5: I'm a mother of three daughters in Virginia public schools, 379 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 5: and nothing is more important to me than their safety 380 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 5: and their experience in schools. I'm also a former federal agent, 381 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 5: and I work to investigate crimes against children, and so 382 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 5: nothing is more important to me than the safety of 383 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 5: all of our children. And that work, in part has 384 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 5: earned me the endorsement of Virginia's police benevolent. 385 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: Associations talking find. 386 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 5: Issues related to what's happening in our schools in each 387 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 5: individual community. I think it's important that we have parents 388 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 5: and teachers and administrators making decisions about their individual schools, 389 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 5: not politicians. And if we are talking about the safety 390 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 5: of our children, I would ask why my opponent continues 391 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 5: to support efforts to defund public safety, an effort carried 392 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 5: on continually by this expoundation. 393 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: Once again, the question was should transgender girls who are 394 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 4: biological males be allowed to use girls' bathrooms and play 395 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 4: on girls sports teams? In K through twelve? You have 396 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 4: fifteen seconds to clarify. 397 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 5: In cases across Virginia. I think it's incumbent upon parents 398 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 5: and educators and administrators in each local community to make 399 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 5: decisions locally. 400 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: That's what this is about. 401 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 5: There should never be really in lockness. 402 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: We finally have her saying that, but you voted for that. 403 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 2: Up now you won't answer the question now, Jay Jones, 404 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: the guy that's running for AG is a Democrat exposed, 405 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: including messages wishing the death upon the former of Virginia 406 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 2: House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his family, and then span 407 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: Berger is asked for four separate times to clarify if 408 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: she still endorses the guy. 409 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: Again, she won't answer. 410 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 6: Will you continue to endorse Jay Jones to be the 411 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 6: next Attorney General of Virginia? And were you aware of 412 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 6: these text messages before they released? You have thirty seconds. 413 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 5: In fact, it appears that it was those who released 414 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 5: the text messages and held them for years, so the 415 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 5: public was unaware who had knowledge of these text messages 416 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 5: for many of us. You do these text messages the 417 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 5: day that they came out, and I denounced them as 418 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 5: soon as I learned of an importantly at this point, 419 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 5: as we move forward, the voters now have this information, 420 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 5: information that was withheld for them. You're running, presumably for 421 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 5: polit affairs reasons, but the voters now have the information 422 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 5: and it is up to voters to make an individual 423 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 5: choice based on this information. 424 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 6: Miss Memory, I understand what you're saying about the voters, 425 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 6: But for you yourself, do you still continue to endorse 426 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 6: Jay Jones? Fifteen seconds? Yes or no? 427 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 5: We are all running our individual races. 428 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 7: I believe my opponent has said that about her Lieutenant 429 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 7: governor nominee. Affairs and up their every person to make 430 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 7: their own decision. I am running my race to serve 431 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 7: Virginia and that is what I intend to do. 432 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 6: Thank you, missus vam Berger. We just want to clarify 433 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 6: you know what you're saying is that as of now, 434 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 6: you still endorse Jay Jones as attorney General. 435 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 5: I'm saying, as of now, it's up to every voter 436 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 5: to make their own individual decision. I am running for governor. 437 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 5: I am accountable for the words that I say, for 438 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 5: the acts that I take, for the policies that I 439 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 5: have put out. 440 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 2: I can't take it. It's so frustrating. We'll get back 441 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: to that later. Now these races seem to be in play. 442 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 2: Virginia get voting, New Joysey get voting. We have Jack Chidarelli, 443 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 2: the gubernatorio candidate, coming up,
