It is Briday drive home. 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: You're here, We're here, We're all here. So we've been 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: at this for twenty years. What a blessed life I've had. 8 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 1: I have a family that loves me and I love them. 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: I have much better health than I deserve to have 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: the way I've abused my body. I have. I am surrounded. 11 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: I have surrounded myself with people I love and adore 12 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: who are part of the show team. And I hope 13 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: love and a door meet can't evan tell, but they pretend. 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: And then there's you. So every day I get emails 15 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: from you from places I didn't know existed in the country, 16 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: and then I have to spend five minutes going to 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: look up where your little town is and what the 18 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: town festival is and what it's known for, and it's 19 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: just amazing. I'll get an email from somebody, and I 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: love it when you say where you live or where 21 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: you're from and what station you listen on. And it's 22 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: now over one hundred stations. I can't believe that. It's 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: just incredible, and it'll be a station I didn't know existed. 24 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: So you'll say I listened to you know, fill in 25 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: the blank, what station call letters and where it is. 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: And then I'll send a note through our syndicator and 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: ask them to forward it, and that person will often 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: respond back to me and they'll say, well, the reason 29 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: you're on our station is because I've been a fan 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: of your show for years, and when we had the 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: opportunity to pick up your show with Premiere, which was 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: only a little over a year ago, we jumped at it. 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: And so then that starts a whole new conversation. I 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: don't have hobbies. I don't play golf or hunt or 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: fish occasionally, I'm not opposed to them. My hobby is 36 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: people and interactions and hearing from them and learning from 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: them and hearing about your interesting lives. And you're interesting. 38 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: The people who I find most interesting think they're the 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: least interesting. That's always so crazy to me how that happens, 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: But it's true. You just got to dig in and 41 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: start asking questions. Where'd you serve I mean kids, did 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: you have natural childbirth or how'd you do it? How 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: old were you? Oh, you were pregnant at sixteen, and 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: as a single mom, worked three jobs and moved, you know, 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: and stayed with your parents until you were thirty to 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: save up. And now your kids are highly successful. Well 47 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: I find that fascinating. Yeah, no, no, that's incredible. You're 48 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: an inspiration to me because it's true. It's true. So 49 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: for those of you who do take the time to 50 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: send me messages through our website, Michael Berryshow dot com, 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: I just want you to know I do read them all. 52 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: I can't reply to them all, and they enrich my life, 53 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: they really do. I love hearing about you and how 54 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: you found the show and things that you like about 55 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: the show and your perspective, whether it's from law enforcement 56 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: or firefighting, or being a mom or a teacher, or 57 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: a small business owner or a postal delivery man or 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: whatever it is you do. I find that to be fascinating. 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know much about anything. I 60 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: try to know a little bit about everything. But when 61 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: I touch into someone's domain and they send in and go, hey, 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm a farmer in Nebraska and you were talking about 63 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: corn and why the corn tastes this way, and he 64 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: let me tell you why. And then you know, I 65 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: learned something, you know, from the expert. I find that 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: to be fascinating. Well, you know, in those twenty years 67 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: we always had a little Friday drive home thing, and 68 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: then when we went national, we dropped it. And we've 69 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: had people email and say, why don't you still do that? 70 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: So occasionally we should, so we hear at the Michael 71 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Barry Show, believe that at the end of a long, 72 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: hard week of work, a grown ass man or Lebisian 73 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: woman ought to be able to pop a top on 74 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: a cold beer on the drive home. And this week 75 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: we do so as a tribute to school teachers. Somewhere 76 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: along the way, you might not have been a good student. 77 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: You don't think of yourself as a good student. Somewhere 78 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: along the way, a school teacher said something to you 79 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: that changed your life, for better or for worse. She 80 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: told you you were a dumb dumb and you've always wanted, 81 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: out of just pure spite, to be successful. Or maybe 82 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: she told you she saw something in you and nobody 83 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: ever said that. Or maybe she told you, hey, you know, 84 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: I noticed you did this little thing. You might have 85 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: a capacity. You might have a skill at being a draftsman, 86 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: or maybe you submitted an English paper and you didn't 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: care about English, you wanted to play pro football. And 88 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: she said, hey, I know you don't realize this, and 89 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: I know you would never agree. You're a really good writer, 90 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: and it turns out that you've become a technical writer, 91 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: or it turns out that you became a pastor and 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: you realize you had gifts that God had given you 93 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: that you didn't see yourself ever use it. All I'm 94 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: saying is there's a teacher in your life that hopefully 95 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: is still alive. And if that person is still alive, 96 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: track them down, don't wait to get around to it 97 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: and tell them, hey, you meant something. So for every 98 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: one of you teachers out there, we're hard on you 99 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: for the teachers that failed, just like with police officers 100 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: and everybody else. For every teacher out there, you made 101 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: a difference in somebody's life. Teachers made a difference in mind. 102 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: Thank you. The crazy thing about that song it's crazy 103 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: is it's so true. Who hadn't done that? What guy? 104 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: If you haven't good for you, you're a better man 105 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: than me. What guy on the way home on Friday. 106 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: I did used to have normal jobs, by the way, 107 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: where I wasn't sitting in a studio on Friday evening. 108 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: But what guy on Friday, you know, didn't on his 109 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: way home think, you know what. My wife and kids 110 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: are waiting on me at the house, and I love them, 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: but I've had a rough week, a real rough week, 112 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna pop into the he's not here 113 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: bar or the office bar that way you can say 114 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: you're at the office. There's all these clever, little little 115 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: bar names over the years. But what guy hadn't said, 116 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just going to just take the edge 117 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: off so when I get home, I'm not all irritable, 118 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: because my wife and kids don't deserve that. They're happy 119 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: that dad's coming home. So I'm just gonna pull in 120 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: there and have one. And then you pull in and 121 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: that first one goes down fast. The ladies don't understand this. 122 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: Some do, but most don't. That first one goes down fast. 123 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: Brother man, I like to start with bourbon and then 124 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: switch over to beer. So that firstourban for me, man. 125 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: The flavor. Oh, if you're a bourbon drinker, you understand 126 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: bourbon is not about volume. It's about flavor. It's it's 127 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: a burn. It's a burn. You know, as you get older, 128 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: you don't crave sweet as much as you do sour, salty, spicy. Well, 129 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: that burn is good. The first one goes faster than 130 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: it ought to. Maybe you switch over to a beer 131 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: before you know it, you've had a few and you 132 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: really not want to leave, and so now you've got 133 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: to call your buddy to come get you because you 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: don't want to call your wife. That's where that's one 135 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: of the ways that I think Uber has changed our 136 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: world for the better. I mean really changed our world 137 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: for the better. There is no excuse for not only 138 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: drunk driving, for buzz driving, for for driving after you've had, 139 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, after you had you know, you're out, you're 140 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: on the line, and it happens faster and anyway, something 141 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you. John Kenneth Paxton Ken 142 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: Paxton in Texas dropped his first ad against John Cornan 143 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: this morning. And he doesn't have the money of the 144 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: swamp that John Cornyn does. But this is really the 145 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: grassroots versus the swamp, and we're going to see this 146 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: across the country. Lindsey Gramdesty's going to be up for election. 147 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: We're going to see these races, and I'm hoping we 148 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: can empower the grass roots to say, look, if they 149 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: can beat Corn in Texas, we can beat Lendsay Gramdesty 150 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: in South Carolina, we can beat these swamp creatures. This 151 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: is the Paxton ad that ran against Cornan that started running. 152 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Today's first time they've had enough money to do this, 153 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: and boy, it's a banger. 154 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: The senator didn't say who he intends to support, but 155 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,479 Speaker 3: he did double down on who he believes the Republican 156 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 3: Party should not nominate, and that is former President Donald Trump. 157 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: Corn saying I think President Trump's time is passed by, 158 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 4: and he adds. 159 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 5: I don't think President Trump understands that when you run 160 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 5: in the general election, you've got to appeal to voters 161 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 5: beyond crease. 162 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 4: President Trump fed that fantasy by repeatedly claiming the election 163 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: was stolen. The President's actions were reckless. 164 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: Do you believe that the president committed imputable offenses. 165 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to listen to the what's presented. 166 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: It is our responsibility to get to the bottom of 167 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 4: what exactly happened due to Russian involvement in our election. 168 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 5: This question of whether there are any ties to the 169 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 5: Trump campaign. That's a legitimate area of inquiry, and the 170 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 5: committee's engaged in that. 171 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: It's not a witch hunt. 172 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 4: It is a legitimate area of inquiry. You simply do 173 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 4: not take classified knockets out of a secure facility. These 174 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 4: are creator service states for himself, which is I think, 175 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 4: very very serious. 176 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: This one is basically. 177 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 4: Something that he's admitted to a secure facts. Ms Monaco 178 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 4: is a lifelong public servant. I believe she's well qualified 179 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: to serve as Deputy Attorney General, and I play under 180 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: support at her nomination. I have a lot of admiration 181 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 4: and respect. 182 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: For Director Mueller. 183 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 3: John Corner of Texas told CBS News he simply doesn't 184 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: think Donald Trump can get elected president. 185 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: Quite a statement from Senator Cornet. 186 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 3: He won't be supporting former President Trump, and neither should 187 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: other Republicans. You believe the former president's time has passed. 188 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: I do well, Cornyn fought Trump. Ken Paxton has always 189 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: stood by the President. He's done it. Terrific job for 190 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: Texas and for our country. Attorney General Ken Paxton a 191 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: really great a thorn of journey. I realized I didn't 192 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: get to it in the first segment Let's do It Now, 193 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: courtesy of the greatest executive producer in all the land, 194 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: Chatticoni Nakanishi Your Week in Review. A post to Facebook, 195 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: the term glass bottom boat doesn't come up in conversation often. Well, 196 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: a friend of mine named Ritt Bord, he's a marine. 197 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: He posts on my page. Yeah, we don't talk about 198 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: glass bottom boats. Cleveland stampers, all different pupper deckers. He 199 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: sends me a lien. Apparently a glass bottom boat is 200 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: some sexual reference. It is not what I intended. I 201 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: assure you. 202 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 5: Paris Goutti Judge Lena Hadalgo is catching a bit of 203 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 5: heat for an incident that took place over at the 204 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 5: Houston Roada. 205 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: In a statement, the Rodeo says to Doggo attempted to 206 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: enter the dirt area without a valid shoot seat ticket. 207 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: You're blooking evidence. You're blooking Shela Jackson Lina Jackson Lina 208 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: Lina because she looked Jackson Lee reincarnated. This give is 209 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: Shela Jackson Lee to a tea bitchy bullying and then 210 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: a victim, Lindsey Graham. We're bombing Iran and he is 211 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: on cable all the time, and he's incredibly excited about 212 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: what is happening. Free Cuba, Stay tuned. 213 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 5: The liberation of Cuba is upon us. 214 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Aran is going down and Cuba is next. The loss 215 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: of perspective by some, it's the Republicans who've done this. 216 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: They don't hear themselves. I don't know what it is. 217 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: Nearly sixteen million Americans are caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease. 218 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 6: Dementia is a disease that can be very painful for 219 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 6: family members to go through. 220 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: Is people are frustrated that mom or dad can no 221 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: longer process, and that we lose sight of the humanity 222 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: of the human being in front of us, and instead 223 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: our frustration that we're actually losing that person in pieces. 224 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: They're not going to die in ten minutes, They're going 225 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: to die over ten months. You know, my dad wants 226 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: to talk about his ten doctor business today. It's not 227 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: what I want to talk about, but that's what we 228 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: talk about. So here's James Carville. 229 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 5: Here's what he had to say about your idea, take 230 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 5: a lessa. The most insane thing I ever heard as 231 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 5: a bike Chair of the Democratic National Committee is been 232 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: in twenty billion dollars run against other. 233 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,359 Speaker 7: Democrats always wants to run against Republicans. 234 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 6: What's your response, what's has planned to deal with our 235 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 6: twenty seven percent approval rating. 236 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: That's my quest to him. 237 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 6: The fact of the matter is, right now, our party 238 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 6: is in a crisis. We are seeing people lose faith 239 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 6: in our party. They're losing faith in democracy across the country, 240 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 6: and we need to make sure that we're getting people 241 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 6: to vote for Democrats not simply because we're not Donald Trump, 242 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 6: but because we have a better message, a better option 243 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 6: for them, not simply the less bad of two options, 244 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 6: as I think Carville tries to promote when he says, well, 245 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 6: we just shouldn't say anything. Carville believes in a politics 246 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 6: of being timid, of hiding. I believe in fighting, and 247 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 6: that is what people want to see right now from 248 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 6: the Democratic Party. 249 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: We just saw an example of that. 250 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 6: I was Senator Van Holland going to El Salvador to say, 251 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 6: we need to meet with this man. And yes, Democrats 252 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 6: obviously are in the minority right now, but let's be clear, 253 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 6: we cannot win back the majority if we do not 254 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 6: convince the American people that our party offers something that 255 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 6: isn't just not Donald Trump, but is substantially better than 256 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 6: Donald Trump that fights to lower costs for Americans across 257 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 6: the country, whether it's healthcare, housing, or the foundational building 258 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 6: blocks of the American dream that feel so out of 259 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 6: reach for people, or addressing gun violence. We can't simply 260 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 6: just hide, as Carville repeatedly promotes, not to mention the 261 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 6: fact that, frankly, he has not won an election since 262 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 6: before I was born. I think it's time for some 263 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 6: new voices in our party. When were you born two thousand? Well, 264 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 6: I guess that's so. 265 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 5: Anyway, I can hear James Carvill's head exploding all the 266 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 5: way from New Orleans when you called him timid and James, 267 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 5: you're welcome back on the show next week and happy 268 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 5: to talk more. 269 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 8: And you could respond, young people, by which I mean 270 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 8: people who are under maybe fifty, may not really understand 271 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 8: who James Carvill is or why he still makes. 272 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: The news when he has one of these odd outbursts 273 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: like he had this past week. And let me just 274 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: give you a real quick history. In nineteen ninety one, 275 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: the state of Pennsylvania had a Senate seat that popped 276 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: open when Senator Hines I believe it was had passed 277 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: away and a guy by the name of Harris Wolford, Democrat, 278 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: was running on a sort of progressive moderate platform. The 279 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: very popular president at the time was George H. W. Bush. 280 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: There was no chance anybody was going to beat him 281 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: for reelection. He was sitting on the highest approval ratings 282 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: since approval ratings had become a thing. Harris Wolford was 283 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: running against. Was it Thornburgh? Was his name? I can't 284 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: remember his last name anyway, He had been the attorney 285 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: general in the Bush administration. So even though that was 286 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: a purple state, the Republicans were gonna win it, and 287 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: Harris Wolford wins. So Bill Clinton is looking at how 288 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: did he win that state in that election? What were 289 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: the issues? How were they framed? So Bill Clinton hired 290 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: two James Carvill and Paul Bagala. I don't know Paul 291 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: Bagala personally, but Paul Begala's brother, Chris, is not a Democrat. 292 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: He's a Republican. And Chris Bagala is a really smart 293 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: communications professional. I had known Chris Bagala through a friend 294 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: of mine who was my manager at a tex Mex 295 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: restaurant in Houston called Papasitos, and they were best friends, 296 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: and I got to know Chris. Chris worked on my 297 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: city council campaigns, on my mayoral campaign, and he's friends 298 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: with my He's business partners with my friend Jim McGrath, 299 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: and they have a communications firm and they're very, very 300 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: good at what they do. Chris and his brother are similar, 301 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: their politics were just very different. Well, Chris had worked 302 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: with James Carvill as well and gave me a lot 303 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: of insight into James Carble. Carvell was the genius behind 304 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: how Bill Clinton managed to win in nineteen ninety TENO 305 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: now that can make you make him, that can make 306 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: you hate him more, that's fine. But the guy was very, 307 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: very influential in shaping the Democrat Party's strategy. It's the 308 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: economy stupid, was his famous line. And this was a 309 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: guy who was both a consultant but also a guy 310 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: who would go out and do interviews to help shape 311 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: your message. Very good at controlling and moving the public 312 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: message forward. But something happened along the way and he 313 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: lost He lost the narrative. He's gone a little crazy, 314 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: and I think part of it is he wants to 315 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: be loved and adored and have people talk about as 316 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: I've just done how smart he is, and instead they're 317 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: talking about Donald Trump. And so what does he do? 318 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: He has to have a meltdown on he has to 319 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: film himself having a meltdown and just spitting and spewing 320 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,239 Speaker 1: slobber in order to be in the news again. And 321 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 1: it works, you know, but it's like, you know, Britney 322 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: Spears does this and we feel sorry for her. Lindsey 323 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: Lohan does this and we feel sorry. You know, poor 324 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: David Hasselhoff's daughter filmed him on the ground, you eating 325 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: the burger, you know, about to pass out. You feel 326 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: sorry for him. So you gotta feel sorry for Carvel 327 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: and you also have to enjoy it, and so enjoy it. 328 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 9: Look the fact, Trump, if you listen to this, you 329 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 9: listen good, because what I'm getting ready to say is 330 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 9: what a lot of people in this country speak for. 331 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: Who I speak for, and I speak for a lot 332 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: of people. You hear me, you fact, this is what 333 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: we believe. You're right. I got Trump derangement syndrome. I 334 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: hate them, and you know what, I don't want to 335 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: get rid of it. I don't want to get better, 336 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: I want to get worse. I want to hate ay more. 337 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: I quite a guy in heaven. God rained the righteous 338 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: rain of Trump derangements. 339 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 10: And drown me. 340 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: Pray for me, Lord, I'm your vessel on this earth. 341 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: Pray for the people that listen to this. 342 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 9: We want more, We want to hate the son of 343 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 9: a bitch so much that we can't see straight. 344 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: So let's just take a moment and unpack this. The 345 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: immediate reaction is, Wow, Carvil's really lost it. But there's 346 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: so much more to this. One angle is, man, are 347 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: you this upset at Donald Trump that you have literally 348 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: lost your mind? He's known as the Raging Cajun for 349 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: a reason because he's always very passionate, you know, and 350 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: he's kind of a fun freak show to watch because 351 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: of that. But the other side of that is, does 352 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: he even really feel this way? Follow me here? Is 353 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: this completely performative? And is this what he has to 354 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: do today to be talked about? Because I guarantee you 355 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: something happened after this. I guarantee you he got phone 356 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: calls to be on Bill Mahers show, to be on 357 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: what you know, the Sunday talk shows, and he has 358 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: to go on there and go, oh shocks. Yeah, I 359 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: let myself get a little too mad, but there's a 360 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: good reason I'm mad at it. No, No, he goes 361 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: into his singing. When you are an independent podcaster, a 362 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: professional guest on television shows, you have to generate headlines, 363 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: and I think it's important to understand that a lot 364 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: of what these people do to generate headlines is not authentic, 365 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: it's not real, and they have to get crazier and 366 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: crazier to keep your attention. I just wouldn't spend a 367 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: lot of your time worried about it. Once you understand 368 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: exactly what it is. 369 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 11: We're gonna add a little bit about these war houses 370 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 11: I know all about. 371 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: Ramon wants to know what around the world is. 372 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 11: Whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey riders, hoosker doos, 373 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 11: whosker don'ts, nips and dazers with without the scooter stick 374 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 11: or one single whistling kiddy chaser. 375 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: One of the big issues politically that we'll be developing 376 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: over the next few weeks and unfortunately perhaps months that 377 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: would be a bad sign is our involvement in the 378 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: Middle East. I find this to be one of the 379 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: more divisive issues among Republicans than the most. Not everybody 380 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: is lockstep behind the efforts in Iran. Now, if your 381 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: immediate reaction is to say, well, that's because they hate you, 382 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: or that's because they're not patriotic, or that's because they're weak, 383 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's entitled their own opinion. But we've never 384 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: done that. We've always said, hey, if you've got a 385 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: legitimate belief on our side of the aisle, we'll hear 386 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: you out, and we certainly won't question your motives. We'll 387 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: hear you out, and you'll have a place at the 388 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: table as we make policies as a nation, first as 389 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: a party and then as a nation. And we don't 390 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: just say, oh, you don't want to send your boys 391 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: to Iran to war, well, then you hate Jews, because 392 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: that's that's what Lindsey Graham seems to be saying. And 393 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: that's a terrible, terrible approach. Let me say that. But 394 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: one of the things, one of the difficulties of being 395 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: a wartime president, and I think this is part of 396 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: what Trump is is confronting right now, is as the 397 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: commander in chief. And really I think Rubio has done 398 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: a very good job, much better than I expected. But 399 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: Trump is the one who is really the face of 400 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: our country, and that's not always the case. And as 401 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: the face of our country, he's sort of he's a micromanager, 402 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: and he is out there sending messages to the people 403 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: of Iran, sometimes explicitly, sometimes sort of wink wink, no 404 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: non you know, hey, this is your time for revolution. 405 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: If you do, we'll support you. He's sending messages to 406 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: the leadership of Iran. Hey, so you know you do 407 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: these certain things, I'm going to kill you. He's sending 408 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: messages to our allies in the region. He's sending messages 409 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: to the Russians and Chinese who might want to butt in, 410 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: but really have it much right. So there's a lot 411 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: going on. I'm going to give him the benefit of 412 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: the doubt, but keep a close eye on it. Press 413 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: Secretary of Carolyn Levitt, talking to Fox News said, you know, hey, look, 414 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: the question the question was would Trump institute the draft. 415 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: I don't believe Trump would ever institute the draft. Politically, 416 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: this would destroy his legacy, he would lose a massive 417 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: portion of his support. The party would be destroyed. The 418 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: case has not been made for war in Iraq, in 419 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: Iran very successfully and certainly not for why we're sending 420 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: in boys, and Lindsey Graham's clearly fetishistic fascination with war 421 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: is not a reason for mothers and fathers to send 422 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: their boys to Iran. That case has not been made. 423 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: So when you say all options are open, you have 424 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: to trust that the public believes you would never do that. 425 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: You're doing that to scare the Middle East. I don't 426 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: believe they're successful at that. I think that what they're 427 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: doing is driving a wedge between a lot of loyal 428 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: Trump folks and their love of their kid, because I've 429 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: watched people's love affair with Donald Trump, and I've never 430 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: seen a juggernaut politically like this. You start sending their 431 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: boys off to another Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, now Iran, you're 432 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: going to lose a lot of them, a lot of them. 433 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: And this time around, you're not just going to be 434 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: able to hold the flag up and say support our troops. 435 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: You sent our troops in. So just listen to this audio, 436 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: and I understand for some people, you're not supposed to 437 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: say anything other than Trump is great. I love Trump, 438 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: I worship Trump. Trump is great. I love Trump. Trump 439 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: is great. I don't believe that's healthy. We can disagree agreeably. 440 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: And I think this is a huge mistake to say 441 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: right here. 442 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 9: Mothers out there are worried that we're going to have 443 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 9: a draft, that they're going to see their sons get 444 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 9: and daughters get involved in this. What do you want 445 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 9: to say about the president's plans for troops on the ground. 446 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 9: As we know, it's been largely an air campaign up 447 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 9: until now. 448 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 2: It has been and it will continue to be. And 449 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 2: President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. 450 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, 451 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: but the president, as commander in chief, wants to continue 452 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 2: to assess the success of this military operation. It's not 453 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: part of the current plan right now. But the President 454 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 2: again wisely keeps his options on the. 455 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: Table and keeping all his options open. I got, I got, 456 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: I got real problems with that. So pivot a bit. 457 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: And this is Pete Hegseth telling ABC News the US 458 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: military will not allow Iran to have uh nuclear weapons. 459 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: I think this doesn't scare people. I think this is 460 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: this is a case you can make to the American people. Hey, 461 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: you may not know where Iran is on a map, 462 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: might not sufficiently fear uh Iranian capability and Iranian potential 463 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: with that capability. But trust us, you don't want them 464 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: to have that, and we're never going to let them 465 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: have nuclear capability. 466 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 7: They've used a conventional umbrella of missiles that was growing 467 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 7: every single day their production capacity to try to cover 468 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 7: over their nuclear black Maple ambitions. As far as how 469 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 7: you get at that nuclear option, we'll make sure that 470 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 7: their nuclear ambitions are never achieved. 471 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: Will we take it out ourselves? 472 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 7: I would never tell you or anybody else what our 473 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 7: options are. That's another thing people keep asking question, very 474 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 7: fair question. People ask boots on the ground, No boots 475 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 7: on the ground. Four weeks, two weeks, six weeks go 476 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 7: in going President Trump knows, I know. You don't tell 477 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 7: the enemy, you don't tell the press, you don't tell 478 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 7: anybody what your limits would be on an operation. We're 479 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 7: willing to go as far as we need to in 480 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 7: order to be successful. They've used a conventional. 481 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: Here is Pete hegseeth saying the sorts of things that 482 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: I think will appeal to more Americans that hey, look 483 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: we're going to win this thing. Iran is going to 484 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: cry uncle.
