WEBVTT - Nobel Snub - October 10th, Hour 1 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.359 Thanks to all of you for being with us. 0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:04.600 Right down our toll free telephone number if you want 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:05.920 to be a part of the program, it is eight 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.200 hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want to 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:14.600 join us. You know, pretty amazing here you have President 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.440 Trump and we've gone through the list of areas you know, 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:24.000 around the world, India, Pakistan, Iran and Israel and Armenian, 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.920 Azerbaijan and Cambodia and Rwanda and you know, the Congo, 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:30.840 and it goes on and on and on that the 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:35.680 President has expended political capital in the name of trying 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.200 to negotiate a peace. 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.320 He's used the power of tariffs. 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.960 This is going to be a very very important, critical 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:50.320 Supreme Court decision, I do believe. While constitutionally, you know, 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:55.440 you can understand the argument about Congress having issues and 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.800 power over tariffs, but the president also needs it for 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.600 his constitutional authority and role. And this president, more than 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.120 any other, is using it, the tariff issue as a 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.720 leverage point for him to prevent wars. 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:11.280 And that's a big deal. 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.800 It was not a surprise to me that the President, 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.560 in spite of all these efforts which have been you know, 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.480 it's herculean in many ways to try and bring about 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.880 world peace and has been successful in so many areas. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.880 With the latest development, I mean, I don't think any 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.880 of us really thought in our lifetime we'd see the 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:36.119 people of Kaza and the people of Israel both celebrating simultaneously, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.400 as we played on the program yesterday. And that's all happening, 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.880 and you know, outcomes the Nobel Peace Prize today, and 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.400 of course it didn't go to Donald J. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:44.880 Trump. 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:50.120 You know, some people are defending the Nobel Prize's decision 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.280 not to award the President by pointing out, well, the 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.560 nominations for the twenty twenty five piece prize were closed 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.440 twenty Well, this is really for the year twenty twenty 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.080 four was closed out nine months ago, before this historic 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:07.800 Mini's peace deal. But it doesn't reflect the magnitude and 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.880 the effort that the president has put into peace around 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:16.360 the world. And anyway, so the Nobel Committee's deadline nominations 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.240 were January thirty first, the only days into the president's 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.760 second term of office. All right, I guess they can 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.080 use that as an excuse. We checked the record. As 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.000 it turns out, the Nobel Committee had absolutely no problem 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:32.160 whatsoever nominating Barack Obama for the two thousand and nine 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.240 Nobel Peace Prize, even though the nomination for two thousand 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.800 and nine deadline was the exact same day, which is 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.720 January thirty first, two thousand and nine, and this decision 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.440 so bizarre that even Obama noted that the nomination seemed, 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.640 you know, it seemed hard to justify. In a thirty 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.639 six minute speech accepting the nomination, Obama discussed the tensions 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.720 between war and peace and the idea idea of a 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.360 just war. Perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.280 of this prize is the fact that I am the 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.040 commander in chief of the military of a nation in 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.560 the midst of two wars, and those who were passed 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.640 over so that Obama could be awarded the Peace Prize 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:22.080 included the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, who had been considered 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:22.760 a favor for. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.280 The award at that time. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.640 And responding to the controversy over the Obama award, the 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.120 Nobel Committee chair explained, no one could deny the international 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.640 climate had suddenly improved now that mister Obama was and 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.800 he was the main reason. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:40.920 Yeah, I could do that. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.400 Here's an interesting side note to this, so the winner 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.760 of the Nobel Peace Prize is a woman that is 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:56.040 actually very courageous, and she is the Venezuelan opposition. Maria 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:01.800 Carino Machado is her name. And what was fascinating is 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:07.480 she received the award and she posted on x he 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.440 dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald J. Trump 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.760 and his support for her cause, after the Nobel Committee 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.000 again declined to bestow Trump himself with the award. Quote, 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:23.840 this recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.880 boost to conclude our task, which to conquer, you know, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.960 for freedom. And she went on and she said, we 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.000 are on the threshold of victory. And today, more than ever, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.239 we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.920 the people the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.640 nations of our world as our principled allies to achieve 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.719 freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:53.160 people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.840 support of our cause. His dedication did not come out 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.200 of the blue. The Trump administration has been working to 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.839 pressure them or government in Venezuela at the crackdown on 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.279 their drug trafficking efforts, and considering they've not been too 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:11.560 particularly cooperative. We've been watching what's been happening with these 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.920 narco terrorist boats that are being shot out of the sea. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.919 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Thatt and Yahoo knocked the Nobel 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.719 Committee after President Trump failed to win the group's coveted 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.839 Peace Prize. Quote the Nobel Committee talks about peace. President 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.400 at reel, Donald Trump makes it happen. The Israeli Prime 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.400 Minister's office posted on x the facts speak for themselves. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.640 President Trump deserves it. The post in response to the 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.440 White House spokesman Stephen Chung, who suggested the committee be 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:44.800 played that the committee plays politics over peace. In a 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.760 side note to this, the President is going now on 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.960 Sunday to visit Israel. On Monday, he will speak before 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.919 the Kanessid and visit Israel ahead of the release of 0:05:55.960 --> 0:06:01.040 these remaining hostages in Gaza, speak before the Kanesse, meet 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.840 with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and reportedly land a Bengorian airport, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.560 and speak alongside not only the Prime Minister but President 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:15.640 Isaac Herzog. According to reports, following these speeches, he may 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.359 go meet with the hostage families. The President also promised 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.320 pitar and Egyptian mediators he's going to meet, and Turkey 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.880 leaders that he would meet as well, that Israel Israel 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.280 won't return to fighting. Well, they're not going to return 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.280 to fighting. But really that decision is going to be 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.840 in the hands of Hamas. If Amas starts firing rockets, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:41.840 you know, it's it's it is beyond disconcerting. There was 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.080 a poll that came out of a new Quinnipiac survey 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.920 that came out forty three percent of New Yorkers favored 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.040 the Palestinians versus twenty two percent of the side with Israel. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:58.480 And according to the Quinnipiac Pole, you know, the Republicans 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.800 favor Israel over the Palstinians fifty three to eleven. So 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.640 this is a red blue issue in many, many ways. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.560 And you have the anti Semitic, you know, members of 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.880 Congress and the the virulent you know, rhetoric that we've 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.560 heard out of the squad members, et cetera, et cetera. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.880 It is very, very frustrating. And this is why I 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.880 try to I try to cloak this argument in terms 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.840 that we can understand, because what happened on October seventh 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.880 is there is a little over nine million. A population 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.880 of nine million in Israel. It is not a big country. 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.440 It is about the size of New Jersey. And I 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.840 keep pointing out, and have pointed out from day one, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.880 since October seventh, what two years, four days ago, that 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.240 if you look at the fifteen hundred Israelis that were 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.120 slaughtered that day, and I've looked at the videos the 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.920 IDF showed me in private, you know, the actual videos 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:04.040 taken by these murdering, you know, kidnapping, raping thugs of 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.840 Hamas because they were proud of what it was that 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.040 they were doing. But the level of ignorance to me 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.720 is breathtaking among some. And this is part of the problem. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.160 I think people were sympathetic in the beginning, but they 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.360 don't really understand the magnitude of it. Because when you 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:25.000 compare such a small population, just compare it to America's population. 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.360 What's our population now lived at three hundred and sixty 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.320 million Americans, whatever the number is, compared to nine million, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.400 that would be the equivalent of forty thousand dead Americans 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.520 in a single day. And if you ask yourself, what 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:44.560 would you expect your country to do if you knew 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.640 that forty thousand Americans were killed in one day, and 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.400 that others were taken hostage, and that others were raped, 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.920 and that others were beheaded, kiddennapped. All of these things happen, 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.640 and I have a hard time understanding, you know how 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.679 in two years time it evolved into an issue of well, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.920 how is Israel responding? And then there's a level of 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:14.000 ignorance as to the events leading up to this. And 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.160 having been to Israel numerous times and reported from Israel 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:22.959 numerous times, it is frustrating that so many people they've 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.320 never been in the terror tunnel networks that I have 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:30.200 been in and reported from. They've never been to those 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.240 border towns that I have been to. One town in particular, 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.880 over ten thousand rockets fired into their one little border 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:42.040 town with Gaza in ten years. They've never seen the devastation. 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.320 They don't know what it's like to live life under 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.600 those conditions. And I just say, if it was ever 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.320 happening in America, I promise you would have a very 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.800 different perspective and a very different desire of what the 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.720 conclusion and outcome should be. And it's not like Israel 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.160 is asking as much as some people would argue, as 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.200 much from the United States as you think, yes, we 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.080 do support them, Yes they are allied. They're the only 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:12.560 democracy in the region. And you know, can you blame them, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.880 but when their very survival is literally in jeopardy and 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.760 hanging in the balance, as they've been surrounded by enemies. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.240 And this is what makes what President Trump pulled off 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.680 here so difficult. He had to thread one needle after another. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.360 You know, Arab nations that have wanted no part of 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.640 being involved in a solution for the region. You know, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.400 he was able to get them on board and committed 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:42.280 to that process. The President was able to persuade the 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.160 Israelis were perfectly positioned to go in and knock out 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.200 Hamas once and for all and finish the job and 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.040 decimate the place, and the President, because of the great 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.440 relationship that he's built up with Israel, was able to 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:00.520 convince the Prime Minister not to do that. The presidents similarly, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.440 you know, spoke very loudly, and he is respected in 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.920 that part of the world. I know because I was 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.360 with him on the trip to the Gulf States. I 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:14.720 sought firsthand the level of respect that they have for 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:20.120 this president, a respect for his strength, the fact that 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:27.440 he wants a peaceful coexistence and to have trade deals 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:32.240 and business deals. And you know, I mean there is 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.600 I probably do beyond the Israelis. I'll tell you the 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.480 next happiest people that are that exist in the world 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.400 that are that Donald Trump took out Iranian nuclear sites, 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.360 it would be the Arab world. And I just said 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.360 this yesterday. You know that he never got credit in 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.640 his first term that he created a coalition that I 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.560 never thought I'd see in my lifetime, and that was 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.840 you had intelligence sharing, cooperation. 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:57.679 At a level nobody knew about. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.800 I knew about it because of different sources that I 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.560 have and they were informing me about it. But trust me, 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.480 there's no love loss between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:14.040 the UAE and the Kataris and the Egyptians and Jordanians, 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:20.280 and they all feared Iranian hegemony and a nuclear armed Iran, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.160 and they partnered with the US and with israel An 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:30.160 intelligence sharing and there was probably you know, I think 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.079 without taking out those Iranian nuclear sides, I don't think 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.160 what happened this week would have actually happened. Now we 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.480 got to get to the phase two of this aspect, 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.719 and I think we will. By the way, you got 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.160 to tip your hat to the First Lady, Milania Trump 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.319 studying journalists Friday, announcing that she had an open channel 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.479 with the Russian President Vladimir Putin to secure the reunification 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.240 of kidnapped Ukrainian children with their families. Is that eight 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.839 kids have been returned to families over the past twenty 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.240 four hours, including one who was brought from Ukraine to 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.640 her family in Russia, and plans are already underway for 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.559 further reunifications. The First Lady wrote a letter to Putin 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.400 that was delivered at President Trump's August fifteenth, Alaska summit 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.640 with his Russian counterport counterpart. And much has unfolded since 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.120 President Putin received my letter, she said. Putin replied to 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.360 her letter and quote since the President, since President Putin 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.440 and I have an open channel of communication, you know, 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.640 she described several back channel meetings and calls that have 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.199 taken place. My representative has been working directly with President 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.080 Putin's team to connect children with their families. And she 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.560 accomplished that maybe she should get a peace prize too, 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.640 But you know, don't expect you know, goodness, by the way, 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:54.640 we have insane debate audio. What's going on in New 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:59.720 Jersey and in Virginia. Wow, these races are heating up. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.200 I think maybe with some of the most embarrassing moments 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.400 in gubernatorial debate history, especially in the Commonwealth of Virginia. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:09.439 We'll get to that. We have a lot to get 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:09.960 to today. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:15.080 We'll get legal analysis on the indictment of Letitia James. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.600 Jack Chidarelli deglubinatorial candidate from New Jersey will join us. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.200 He's really in this race. And I believe that wins 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.040 Sears is making a massive comeback as well. It's one 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.120 last thing on what's happened this week in the history 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:32.800 of this week, all these lawmakers demanding that have been 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.720 demanding a ceasefire in Gaza over the past two years, 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.840 eerily silent now since Donald Trump actually secured one with 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.440 Israel and Hamas on Wednesday. You know, well, where are 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.520 the squad members? Where's Congresswoman to leave that said, you know, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.360 this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:57.040 ceasefire and help the escalate. Where's she? You know, she 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.160 had nothing to say about our sitting president. Leader of 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:05.240 the squad. Another frequent voice calling for a ceasefire? Why 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.200 is she so quiet? 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.320 Quiet? 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.360 You know, why are Democrats in general so quiet as 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.600 Congresswoman Jayapaul, you know, call for an immediate and permanent 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:21.360 ceasefire on the two year anniversary of October seventh. Oopsie, Daisy, 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.840 you know she's not commented since Trump announced the deal? 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:26.200 Why is that? 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.200 Where's Congressman Omar, you know, one of the most outspoken 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:35.400 supporters of the Palestinian causing in Congress, issuing a lukewarm 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.760 response to the good news, saying, well, but the sake 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.080 of humanity, let's hope this will be a lasting, im 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:45.880 permanent ceasefire, and then demanded that Israel be punished. Unbelievable. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.520 What part of forty the equivalent of forty thousand dead Americans? 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:55.720 Doesn't she get those sick of ignorant people. Schumer's out there? 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.640 How came Jeffries out there praising the Mid East peace deal? 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.640 But no mention of Donald Trump? I mean, this is 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:07.600 how petty the Democratic Party has become. And you know 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.920 how lacking encouraged Schumer is. He doesn't want to alienate 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.800 his radical base anymore. Anyway, The so called leader of 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.440 the Senate, he's really leader in name only issued this 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:23.720 statement on the amazingly good news that President Trump has 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.360 engineered this peace deal, but he didn't mention Donald Trump. 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:33.800 I mean, nowhere in Schumer's statement on this miraculous piece 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.480 deal of the words Donald Trump ever appeared, not once. 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:42.400 Nowhere doesn't happen. Does any of this surprise you? It shouldn't, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:47.600 because this represents the radicalization of the Democratic Party today. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.280 And it's so far worse than we ever thought, you know. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.320 And now Trump is embarking on this trip to the 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.960 Middle East, and you're getting worldwide praise. You are getting 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.520 some Democratic praise as well, to be fair, But he's 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.800 gonna embark on this trip, He's going to speak before 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.840 the Kanesset, and you know, you have to hope let's 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.840 see these hostages get released, Let's see phase two. I 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.159 think one thing you've got to understand in factor in 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:20.520 here is if there was any leverage that Hamas might 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.879 have had, you know, by agreeing to phase one of 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.840 this deal, that leverage will be gone. And I think 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.439 President Trump's you know, give he gave them a plain choice, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.840 take the deal or get obliterated. Doesn't get any more 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.679 clear than that, not unlike what he did with Iran, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.960 not unlike by the way what he's doing and what 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:47.199 he promised Vladimir putin different circumstances, different country. You know, 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:51.280 we're dealing with nuclear weapons as something you have to 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:56.320 factor in. He's taken the handcuffs off the Ukrainians. They're 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:03.160 now pounding Russian refine in a massive way. Reuters reporting 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:10.800 that the Russians now have have long lines and people 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.919 waiting to buy and purchase gasoline as a result of this. 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:19.560 The lifeblood of Russia's economy is is gas period, it's 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:24.200 oil period. And then the president putting tariffs on countries 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:25.520 that do business with Russia. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:27.399 It's having a massive effort. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.479 Speaker Gingrich pointed out that when the House passed the 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.320 budget that would have kept the government open without increasing spending, 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.520 and it was blocked by the Democrats, the clean cr 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:43.040 what is a clean r continuing resolution that means that 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.720 you keep the government open, funding at current levels. 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:48.480 And once the. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.959 Public found out about that, all of a sudden, well, 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.879 you know, nearly forty percent of Americans they blame the Democrats. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.439 You're always going to have, you know, thirty percent of 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.119 the radical left that will blame Republicans for nothing. What 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.480 the Democrats are saying the opposite of what they have 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.680 said their entire careers, like Chucky Schumer, Oh, you can't 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.199 shut down the government. Now we're feeling the impact of 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.800 it as of really right now, I mean this is now, 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:17.080 as of next week, the paychecks stopped going out ap reporting. 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.840 The White House Budget Office said today that mass firings 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:25.800 of federal workers have now started in an attempt to 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.119 let people that as a result of the Schumer shutdown, 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.080 now and these these firings, according to President Trump, may 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:38.560 end up being permanent. Russ Voight, director of OMB, said 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:44.120 on x that RIfS have begun that means reduction enforced 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.200 plans aimed at reducing the size of the federal government. 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.400 A spokesperson for the Budget Office said the reductions are substantial, 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.920 but did not offer any more immediate details. The Education 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.640 Department among the agencies hit by new layoffs. A department 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.440 spokesperson said earlier today about providing more details. The Department 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.000 of laid off forty one hundred employees when Trump took 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:09.440 office in January. Its workforce was nearly had amid mass 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:14.040 layoffs in the Republican administration's first months. At the start 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.280 of the shutdown, it had twenty five hundred employees, and 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:18.600 now many of them are going. 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:23.320 To be furloughed. So how long will Chuck keep going? Now? 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.000 I guess the quote of the week is, you know, 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:30.720 Chucky Schumer just two days ago, every day gets better 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:36.399 for us, you know, crowing about extending the shutdown. Now, 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.240 let me play a montage with Schumer over the years 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.880 talking about the dangers of the shutdowns, and then ask 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.880 yourself what has changed in Chucky Schumer. I can tell 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.320 you what it is before you hear it. It is 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:53.760 his desire to cling on to power, which, by the way, 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:58.160 he will not be successful at He's he's right now 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.320 leader in name only to begin with. But if he's 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.480 challenged by AOC, his political career is over. 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.159 It's done. 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.760 I'll mention a name to Chuck Schumer, one that he 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:15.359 will readily remember, Alfonse de Motto. That's what we beat 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.159 to become the senator in New York. He will be 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:23.520 Alfonse de Motto, and he will retire from the US Senate. Anyway, 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:25.360 here's Chucky in years gone by. 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.199 What if I persuaded my cause to say I'm going 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.840 to shut the government down? I am going to not 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.119 pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.840 politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:38.840 It's sort of like this. 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:43.120 Someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage, 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.800 and then says, let's negotiate over the price of your house. 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:47.880 You know, we could do the same thing on immigration, 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.920 because we believe strongly in immigration reform. We could say 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.240 we're shutting down the government. We're not going to raise 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.120 the debt ceiling until you pass immigration reform. It would 0:21:56.119 --> 0:22:00.199 be governmental chaos. Speaker McCarthy needs to stop letting the 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.840 MAGA radicals drive his decisions and do the obvious and 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:09.040 sensible thing, follow the Senate's lead and pass a bipartisan 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:13.400 cr to prevent this reckless shutdown. We do not want 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:18.960 to let a Trump temper tantrum governor policies will caused 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:21.400 the shutdown of a government which everyone on both sides 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:24.800 of the isles knows is the wrong idea. 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:30.560 No, that was then, this is now and Chuck Schumer again, 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:34.399 leader in name only, is scared to death of the 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:39.440 radicals that run his party. What a change, Pretty dramatic. 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.880 I want to go to the Senate debate. I'm sorry 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.880 the gubernatorial debate. Sorry about that because we have Jack 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.400 Chidarelli at the top, and then later we'll talk more 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:55.880 about this. There were two remarkable exchanges in this debate 0:22:56.000 --> 0:23:00.840 that took place in Virginia between Abigail Spanberger and Lieutenant 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:05.120 Governor Wins some merl sears, and I'm beginning to think 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.720 that the house of cards for Abigail Spamberger is now 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:15.280 collapsing in the in the Commonwealth of Virginia. One exchange, 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:21.760 they had to ask her four times about the issue of, 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:27.800 you know, allowing biological boys in girls' locker rooms. To 0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.880 listen to how she won't answer the question. 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:36.280 Focusing on a K through twelve school system, should transgender 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:40.280 girls who are biological males be allowed to use girls' 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:44.880 bathrooms and play on girls sports teams? You have sixty seconds. 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:49.360 I'm a mother of three daughters in Virginia public schools, 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.720 and nothing is more important to me than their safety 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:56.919 and their experience in schools. I'm also a former federal agent, 0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.879 and I work to investigate crimes against children, and so 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:04.000 nothing is more important to me than the safety of 0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:07.040 all of our children. And that work, in part has 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.520 earned me the endorsement of Virginia's police benevolent. 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:15.000 Associations talking find. 0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:18.560 Issues related to what's happening in our schools in each 0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:23.400 individual community. I think it's important that we have parents 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:29.480 and teachers and administrators making decisions about their individual schools, 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.679 not politicians. And if we are talking about the safety 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:36.000 of our children, I would ask why my opponent continues 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:39.760 to support efforts to defund public safety, an effort carried 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.200 on continually by this expoundation. 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:46.320 Once again, the question was should transgender girls who are 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.920 biological males be allowed to use girls' bathrooms and play 0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:53.159 on girls sports teams? In K through twelve? You have 0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.159 fifteen seconds to clarify. 0:24:56.960 --> 0:25:01.640 In cases across Virginia. I think it's incumbent upon parents 0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:06.080 and educators and administrators in each local community to make 0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:07.720 decisions locally. 0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:08.879 That's what this is about. 0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:13.360
