1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Morning, Europe about to enter the arena and join the

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: battle to save America with your host Sean Carnell. Good evening, America.

3
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: Welcome to the battle crew, from sea to Shining Sea

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: and everybody in between. Welcome patriots. It is Friday, and

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: this week has gone by so so fast, folks. Listen.

6
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: I h I definitely, I definitely triggered some garbage liberals.

7
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Last night there was this report, you know, Trump was

8
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. And by the way, if you want

9
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: to gauge the success of that trip of Donald trumpet

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, just listen to how these conspiracy theorist, whack

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: job mouth breathing Dems reacted to it. They trotted out

12
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: this Milwaukee hoax. They said that he was praising Hannibal Lecter.

13
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: None of that was true. All of it was lies.

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: So that means that Donald Trump's appearance on Kapitol Hill

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: was wildly successful. But while he was there, by the way,

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: the purpose of the trip, having talked to people around

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: him on the campaign, was really to build bridges, extend

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: all of branches to Republicans who hasn't gotten along with

19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: in the past. And that's really important because the Democrats

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: are an existential threat to this country. And the enemy

21
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: of my enemy is my friend. No, I don't like Rhino,

22
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: never Trump Republicans, they're the worst. But I think even

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: those people are waking up to the existential threat that

24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: is the Democrat Party, and they are willing and Trump

25
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: is willing to align with them to defeat them in November.

26
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: And that's important. But while Trump was at this meeting,

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't mean to go off on a tangent. There

28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: he floated the concept of eliminating the income tax and

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: replacing it with tariffs, which, by the way, I immediately

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: chimed in, you know one, because I thought it was

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: a genius move. If you've been watching this show for

32
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: a long time, you know long time meaning the past

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: several months, have been doing it less than a year,

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: then you know that I absolutely loathe taxes. What I

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: loathe even more than taxes is the propaganda line it's

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: a pay It's our patriotic duty to pay taxes. It's

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: the opposite of patriotism to give your hard earned money

38
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: to the government. You work your ass off for that money,

39
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: and to just give it to the government so they

40
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: could study sperm whale sex and the Arctic Ocean is

41
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: not patriotic at all. So of course I weighed in

42
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: because I hate taxes. It's the right thing to do.

43
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: By the way, the income tax is not anything that

44
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: the founders ever intended. Let people keep more of their

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: own money. I also said that this would create a

46
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: huge economic boom. People would immediately have twenty to thirty

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: seven percent pay raise. They'd go out and they'd spend

48
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: that money. Each person that got that pay raise creates

49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: a little micro economy around them. They pay taxes, other

50
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: taxes with that money, They go to go out to eat,

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: go to restaurants, they shop, all in their local economies.

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: It's a boost to everybody a million times over. That

53
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: growth by dropping the income tax alone might even exceed

54
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the growth of our national debt, which is at historic

55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: levels of thirty five trillion dollars. But here's why I

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: really like it. It also forces Biden and the garbage Democrats,

57
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: because I realized that it's a complicated tax matter. It's

58
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: not as simple as I'm making it. But from a

59
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: political standpoint, it forces Biden in these garbage liberals to

60
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: say that they're pro income tax, and boyd did they

61
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: come out swinging all in the comments of my tweet,

62
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: just saying this is a good idea, just one shit

63
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: lib after the next saying, oh, this is stupid, You're stupid,

64
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: just ready willing able liberals just wanted to give their

65
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: money to the federal government, totally unwilling of even considering

66
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: that there might be another way to do things. Just

67
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: TDS has completely ruined like twenty percent of the country

68
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: to where they just are our federal government zombies here

69
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: take my money to just wander around like Biden, just

70
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: giving their money to the federal government and trusting everything

71
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: the federal government does and says. And that's sad, but

72
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: I also love triggering the liberals, so to that extent,

73
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: To that extent, it was a win. Also, the Scotis

74
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: overturned the ban on bump stocks. And here's what this

75
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: case is all about and why it's important and what

76
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I need you to realize. And I'm saying this, of

77
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: course before I get into the show Round show rundown. Listen,

78
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: We've got Brian Dean Wright on deck, former CIA operations officer,

79
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: disaffected Democrat, now America First guy, one of the smartest

80
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: guys that I know on politics and foreign policy and

81
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: everything else. He's coming up in about ten to fifteen

82
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: minutes to stand by for him. But let me tell

83
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: you about this bump stock thing. Despite what the media

84
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: is saying, this case has absolutely nothing to do with

85
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, because you'll see, oh my god, there

86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: were a country that values guns over the lives of children,

87
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: and the Las Vegas shooter he used the bump stock,

88
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: and it has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.

89
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: If you don't know what a bump stock is, it's

90
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: a little plastic piece of equipment that goes on the

91
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: butt stock of your rifle semi automatic rifle to make

92
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: it fire more rapidly. I don't know a single serious

93
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: shooter that uses a bump stock. It's wildly inaccurate. So

94
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: essentially all it is is like a range toy that

95
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: wastes a crap ton of ammunition. But here's the essence

96
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: of this case, boiled down right to its core, and

97
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: this is the takeaway, and this is why I think

98
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: you should be encouraged going into the weekend. So the

99
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: ATF took Congress's ban on machine guns ATF alcohol, tobacco, firearms.

100
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: They took Congress's ban on machine guns and decided that

101
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: bump stocks are machine guns and just banned them unilaterally,

102
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: essentially creating a law out of whole cloth, all around

103
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: circumventing Congress essentially. So this case was not in any

104
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: way decided on Second Amendment grounds. What's important here for

105
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: you all to know is that the Supreme Court of

106
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: the United States smacked down the ATF and basically told them,

107
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: in very simple terms, Congress makes laws. You do not

108
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: you ATF, unelected bureaucrats. You just enforced the laws that

109
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: Congress makes, You don't invent them out of whole cloth.

110
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: So the Supreme Court says the ATF therefore exceeded its

111
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: statutory authority by issuing a rule that classifies bump stocks

112
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: as machine guns. So just want to recap. Has nothing

113
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: to do with Second Amendment. Has everything to do with

114
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,119
Speaker 1: an out of control government stealing and taking your rights,

115
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: unelected bureaucrats doing that. So the Supreme Court stood up

116
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: to them smack them down. That is a loss for

117
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: the deep State anyway you cut it. And you should

118
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: be celebrating that post this weekend to a loss for

119
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: the deep state, because that's something to be happy about.

120
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: So today Brian Dean Wright on Deck. I'm doubling down

121
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: on my deep State theory about yesterday that most of

122
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: you all didn't like. Don't tune out the show just yet.

123
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: I want to. I'm gonna break it down for you

124
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: in ways and maybe you maybe you'll be with me

125
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: by the end of it. Maybe you won't, in which

126
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: case it's fine either way. But the Dems react to

127
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. We've got the Biden knit the G seven

128
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Russian warships off the coast of Cuba, Putin proposing a

129
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: ceasefire in Ukraine. That and so much more coming down

130
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: the pike here on Battleground Live. Okay, So bear with

131
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: me here. I'm doubling down on something and it was very,

132
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: very unpopular yesterday. Like if I went back and I

133
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: read the live chat, I know how you all feel

134
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm gonna take one more crack at

135
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: it and just just go with me here. Okay. So

136
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: is the deep State backtracking a little bit? Are they

137
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: shifting fire? I've been obsessed with thinking about this because

138
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: part of my job as an infantry officer a ground

139
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: combat leader in combat was to analyze the enemy, most

140
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: likely enemy response, most deadly enemy response. It was my

141
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: job to plan for every contingency. And I've talked to

142
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: Commander Melanie about this, and it's kind of changed who

143
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: I am even today. I'm constantly thinking through contingencies or

144
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: something about military life and being a combat leader. That

145
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: just sort of changes you, rewires you, even down to

146
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: the DNA level, it seems. But plan for every contingency,

147
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: and so for me in an asymmetric threat environment like Afghanistan,

148
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: that meant thinking outside the box. And that leads me

149
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: to this point. The deep state, the blob unelected bureaucrats

150
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: like the ATF. Call them whatever you want. I refer

151
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: to them as the deep state because it's exactly what

152
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: they are. But the deep state is only effective when

153
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: they operate from the shadows with plausible deniability. Now listen, yes,

154
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: of course we see what's going on clear as day,

155
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: but the vast majority of Americans, folks who aren't paying

156
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: attention to politics, probably have never even heard of the

157
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: deep state. And as long as those people are asleep,

158
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: the deep state can function effectively. The deep state thrives

159
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: on being able to throw their hands up and just

160
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: simply say it wasn't me. I had nothing to do

161
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: with it. That's just a conspiracy theory, you crazy whack

162
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: job conservative. So if people actually see what they're doing

163
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: in the open firsthand, it's over. It's kind of like

164
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: a spy working behind enemy lines and in units that

165
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: aren't friendly. The moment that he's exposed for what he is,

166
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: it's over, it's done with. He's dead. So the deep State,

167
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 1: the blob, these unint these these these these unelected bureaucrats,

168
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: they kind of operate like this as well, but once

169
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: everything is out in the open, their machinations aren't effective

170
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: any longer. And if people wake up and people saw

171
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: this firsthand, the vast majority of people truly learned what

172
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: the deep state, unelected bureaucrats, what they're truly capable of,

173
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that they would tolerate it. So I

174
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: think the deep state themselves is walking a very dangerous

175
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: line here, And I think more people are awake than

176
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: ever before. And if they haven't fully opened their eyes yet,

177
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: well they're about to, or at least they're suspicious, right,

178
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: because I think people have seen what's happened to Trump

179
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: ever since he came down the Golden escalator, like really

180
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: only deranged tds, you know, left this lunatics sycophants think

181
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: that it's normal and the system is working as it should.

182
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: And I think many Deep Staters are traditional neo con Republicans,

183
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: like the best way I can describe it are like

184
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: Haley Republicans and Nikki Haley Republicans, which I am not

185
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: one of those people. You know how I feel about

186
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: this am I am a non interventionalist Republican. But coming

187
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: from that world, I can tell you that most conservatives

188
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: in that space feel that way. It doesn't make them

189
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: bad people at all. It's just kind of like all

190
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: they really know. It's just kind of how people are,

191
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: and so I don't fault them for that. So my

192
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: buddy Tony Schaeffer told me that he believes the deep state,

193
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: and many never Trump Republicans within the deep State believed

194
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty that Biden would be the lesser of

195
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: two evils. I told you this yesterday. They believe that

196
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: he was just old lunchbucket moderate Joe. And this kind

197
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: of makes sense because many of these Republicans are Republicans

198
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: from a different time. They fundamentally don't understand the moment

199
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: that we're in they don't understand the threat of the

200
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: Democrat Party and what they're capable of. So I can

201
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: see a lot of these never Trump, deep state Republicans,

202
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: Neo Kon Republicans, Hailey Republicans again, call him whatever you want.

203
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: I can see a lot of them saying, Hell, it's

204
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: just Joe Biden. He's a moderate. He's been a moderate

205
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: all his life. He's done bipartisan work all his life.

206
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: I think that this was a grave miscalculation. And in fact,

207
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Tony Schaeffer told me that these folks realize in many

208
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: ways they're mistake now. In other words, they see that

209
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: Biden is a threat to the United States, both domestically

210
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: and abroad. And so this is why Bill Barr, the

211
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: man who was at the center of killing any investigation

212
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty election, Bill Barr endorsed Trump unprovoked.

213
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: Trump didn't ask for his endorsement, he just did it.

214
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: Listen to this ryle has begun here in New York City.

215
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: It's quite a spectacle, quite an event. I know that

216
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: you think that the prosecution seems far fetched. Maybe the

217
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: best way I could maybe that's the kindest way that

218
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: I can say that your thoughts as to how this

219
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: is going now that it's underway, and what you think

220
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: about it.

221
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: Well, I've said from the beginning this case is an abomination.

222
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: You know, it's obviously political seven years after he pays

223
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: hush money to try to come up with this case.

224
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: It's also, as you say, it's not only far fetched,

225
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: they're trying to predicate it on a federal crime which

226
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: wasn't prosecuted, and they're wrong about it. This was not

227
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: a campaign contribution. They're just wrong on the law. But

228
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: to me, this shows that the real threat to liberty,

229
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: the real threat to our system, or the excesses of

230
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: the progressive left. They're perverting the system of justice, and

231
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: you know that's where the danger lies, the corruption and

232
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: subversion of our institutions by the left. I heard you

233
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: call this hush money case outrageous, and I also know

234
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: you've been asked many times you've had your disagreements with

235
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: the former president.

236
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: He's the presumptive nominee. We assume he will be the nominee.

237
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: Will you support him in twenty twenty four?

238
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: Well, i've said, well, along, you know, given two bad choices,

239
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: I think it's my duty to pick the person I

240
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: think would do the least harm to the country. And

241
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: in my mind, that's.

242
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: So there you go. A couple of things I want

243
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: to highlight for you here. Keep in mind that Bill

244
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Barr was the chief law enforcement officer for the country

245
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: under Donald Trump. Keep in mind that Tony Shaeffer. Bill

246
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: Barr called Tony Shaeffer and told him, in no uncertain terms,

247
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: no more investigating in twenty twenty. It's done. It's over with.

248
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: The FBI is going to do one hundred percent of

249
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: the investigations. We don't want the US marshals involved. And

250
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: so Bill Barr is a perfect example of a sort

251
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: of traditional Nikki Haley Republican, Neo Cohn Republican that doesn't

252
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: like Trump. But he said right there in that interview,

253
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: corruption and subversion of our institutions For people like this,

254
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: the institutions, the FBI, the CIA, the United States military,

255
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: they just want a sense of homeostasis. And they believed

256
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: that Biden would give them that, and they ultimately in

257
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, believed that Trump was the threat. And then

258
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Bill Barr also in that same interview, and this is

259
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: a perfect microcosm of how he thinks, and I think

260
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: how other traditional neo conservative Republicans think traditional Republicans said

261
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: two bad choices. I think it's my duty to pick

262
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: the person who would be the least harm to this nation.

263
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: So think about this with me here. And I know

264
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: that you weren't a fan of my theory yesterday, but I'm,

265
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm doubling down on it today. For

266
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: the most part, many of these misguided Republican deep staters,

267
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: they have families that live here in America. They don't

268
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: want America to collapse. If Bill Barr is saying on

269
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: national television that he's supporting Trump that he believes Biden

270
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: is a threat to the institution, that's like a signal

271
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: to the rest of the Republican deep staters saying that

272
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: Biden is the bigger threat. So here's what I think now.

273
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you hate this or like this

274
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: and didn't agree with me yesterday, but this is what

275
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm building to. I think many of the people in

276
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: the deep state believe that Trump is going to win.

277
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: I think that they believe that while Trump is a threat,

278
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that, that's wrong and incorrect. I

279
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: think they believe that Biden is far, far worse. I

280
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: just I think that they realize that now. I think

281
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: that they remember what it was like under four years

282
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: of President Trump and it's nothing like it is now.

283
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: And what I think the deep state is doing their

284
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: next move because obviously it's always to protect that sense

285
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: of homeostasis, right, protect the institutions that they work for.

286
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: That's what we talked about, big blooded bureaucracy. Their number

287
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: one goal is not the truth, is not looking out

288
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: for the people. It's to protect themselves first last in

289
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: all ways. So they're gonna do everything that they can

290
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: to work behind the scenes to put guardrails on the

291
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: next Trump presidency. So what does that look like? Ten

292
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: years of support and for Ukraine make it damn near

293
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: impossible for Trump to fire our government employees, bog them

294
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: down with fake investigations, just like they did the first

295
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: four years. There are a million ways they can stifle

296
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: another Trump presidency. And I think that they may say, hey,

297
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: rather than exposing ourselves more by escalating tactics and as

298
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: a consequence, completely destroy our capabilities on our nation in

299
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: the process, let's take our chances with Trump, en roll

300
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: the dice and keep in mind like this also kind

301
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: of makes sense because anytime these idiots meddle in anything,

302
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: they make it worse. Look at what they've done from

303
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: a foreign policy standpoint, neo conservative foreign policy over the

304
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: last twenty years, it's hard to see it as anything

305
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: else but a failure. Look at Afghanistan, look at the

306
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: Middle East and regime change wars just hasn't been good

307
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: for the country, So why should we believe that they'd

308
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: be anything better? Domestically They're a disaster. So that's my theory.

309
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: I take it or leave it. I'm gonna go back

310
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: and read the live chat when this is over. But

311
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: I've got Brian Dean right on deck. Okay, So without

312
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: further ado, let me bring my friend on, Brian Dean Wright.

313
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright, Welcome to the show. Former CIA operations

314
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: officer and host of the Acclaimed Right Report, Welcome back

315
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: to Battleground.

316
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 4: Hello sir, speaking of date fate here, we are glad

317
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: to be here.

318
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, as someone who worked for

319
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: the CIA, is what I'm saying just a total whackedob

320
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory or am I like?

321
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 5: I think that there are different elements or parts of it. Look,

322
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 5: you've got the guys like James Comey or former CIA

323
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: director Mike Morell. Those guys are never going to give

324
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 5: up because they now got a stick. They make a

325
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 5: lot of money on TV, in podcast, they are speakers.

326
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 5: They get hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, continuing

327
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: the charade that they had perpetrated for years. You then

328
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: have other guys, I would say, probably not in the

329
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 5: public sphere as much, who are probably the workaday guys,

330
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 5: even some who've retired, some of those fifty one spies

331
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 5: who lied.

332
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: Some of those guys are quietly.

333
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 5: What would probably fall into the bucket you're talking about,

334
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 5: which is to say, look, I don't like Trump, but

335
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 5: I also don't like over eight million people coming over

336
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 5: the southern border completely unvetted.

337
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 4: In earlier this week.

338
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: We have eight of them who are ISIS members or

339
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: affiliated with ISIS. That's bad because I fought for twenty

340
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 5: thirty plus years of my life.

341
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: To try to stop that stuff.

342
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 5: And obviously Biden is listening to the left of his party,

343
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 5: which is Marxist, which believes in open borders because reasons.

344
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, they're probably sitting back and saying, let's probably

345
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 5: go a different direction. Because the Democrat party that I

346
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 5: thought of, Jack Kennedy, that's gone. The Democrat Party of

347
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 5: even you know, the mid two thousands of early you know,

348
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 5: verse one point zero, Barack Obama when he was talking

349
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 5: about how he would hear Spanish at his garage going

350
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 5: to carfix and I mean, I'm angry that Democrat Party's gone.

351
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: It's gone.

352
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 4: And I say this as a.

353
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: Guy who was a Democrat for twenty years and I

354
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 5: now look at my party that's you know, former now

355
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 5: no longer part of it.

356
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, who are those guys? I don't know? So

357
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 4: I think that.

358
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 5: You're right to say that there are some that still

359
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 5: do love this country that are looking around saying, okay,

360
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 5: all right, well I didn't like Trump because you know,

361
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 5: he's crazy and he says crazy things. Okay, but you know,

362
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 5: we've got a national security crisis right now in the

363
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 5: White House, not just a border. Look around the world

364
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 5: that's on fire. And oh, by the way, there's a

365
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 5: laptop that says this guy might be taking some secret

366
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 5: cash from the Chinese, amongst others.

367
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 4: All Right, I might not say publicly, but we got

368
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 4: to do.

369
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 5: Something different here. So I think you could be right

370
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 5: with those workaday guys.

371
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I know that, h know, when you

372
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: talk about the deep state, I get it. The deep state.

373
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: The phrase itself even sounds conspiratorial, but it's real. Just

374
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: having buddies in the White House that worked around Trump

375
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: every day, these people didn't believe that it existed going in,

376
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: you know, and then they get there and they're like,

377
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, this calcify bureaucracy. And really that's all

378
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: it is, unelected bureaucrats stifling or killing the president's agenda

379
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: through the big bloated bureaucracy. Like President Trump would issue

380
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: an order in the Oval Office, it would sit in

381
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: a Manila folder on some dudes that's for like months,

382
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: and it would never get implemented. And Trump's staff used

383
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: to talk to me and they used to say to me, like,

384
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: this is crazy the amount of work that I have

385
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: to do just to implement what is a simple order

386
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: from a duly elected the United States President. So that

387
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: it's real. And these people, in some cases, Brian, they're

388
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: political as well. And when the soul of the country

389
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: and power is on the line, I gotta believe, especially

390
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: when you look at guys like James Comy, right, and

391
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: who is Obama, cr Brennan. It was Brennan that he's

392
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: like a known communist, right, he's a CIA guy, right,

393
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: These these people are unbelievably political.

394
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

395
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 5: Again, there's another bucket of them that these are people

396
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 5: who just they do hate the country and they have

397
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 5: weaseled their way into positions of power and they're happy

398
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 5: to just be Niiliss and watch it burn down. There

399
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 5: are some of those guys too. So the degree to

400
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 5: which people are disagreeing with you or get outraged by

401
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 5: they're probably thinking about the things that we've talked about before,

402
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 5: which is when you know, Schumer said back in twenty

403
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 5: seventeen that I see the intelligence community has six ways

404
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 5: from Sunday to get back at you. If you're a politician, Okay,

405
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 5: well that probably tells you it's not a conspiracy theory.

406
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 5: It's real. The top democrat in the country has admitted this.

407
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 5: That's all the proof we need.

408
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does.

409
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 5: I think any reasonable person would say, yeah, we have

410
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 5: a problem in this country, and I don't want to

411
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 5: trust that any of them might come around. I don't

412
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 5: like any of them, including Brian Wright. He seems kind

413
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 5: of shady too, And I get that by the way.

414
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 5: People will say that to me, and I'm like, that's fair.

415
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 5: It's incumbent upon me to prove to you that I'm

416
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 5: not one of those guys. And maybe you will never

417
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 5: believe that that's that that's the case, and that's because

418
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 5: that is now the legacy that I have to live

419
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 5: with because of what my former colleagues have done to

420
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 5: this country. So I get to, you know, get the

421
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 5: shmear on me. And that's just how the way life,

422
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 5: life goes. Booho, what are you gonna do?

423
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Booo? What are you gonna do? So look at what's happening.

424
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: You're gonna talk about corruption, you know, and institutions that

425
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: are harming this country. The Department of Justice today coming

426
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: out and saying we're not going to prosecute Merrick Garland

427
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: after being held in contempt by Congress for not responding

428
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: to a congressional subpoena. Meanwhile, as they're declining to charge

429
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, you've got Steve Bannon and Peter Navarrow, by

430
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: the way, not chumps off the street. Steve Bannon was

431
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: was Trump's White House Chief of Staff. Peter Navarro's chief

432
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: economic advisor, left and right hand to the President sitting

433
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: in a Steve Bannon about to be in prison, Peter

434
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: Navarro in prison for the exact same damn thing. And

435
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: it all goes back to these audio tapes at the

436
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 1: Department and of Justice from the Special Prosecutor Robert Hurr

437
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: refusing to release to Congress Brian, what's your take on

438
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: all of that insanity?

439
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about the hypocrisy. Second.

440
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 5: The first piece is the national security piece, which is

441
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 5: there are audio tapes of Joe Biden, our commander in chief,

442
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: who appeared to be so befuddled, so confused, so diseased

443
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: in his mind that a special counsel said, you know,

444
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 5: I'm not going to prosecute this guy because a jury

445
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 5: is going to see that he's senile and bonkers and

446
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 5: they're never going to They're never going to find him guilty.

447
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 4: So that's what we know to be true. So that

448
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: is on those audio tapes.

449
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: So what the Department of Justice is saying, his Department

450
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 5: of Justice, Biden's Department of Justice is saying, Hey, we're

451
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 5: just going to give you the transcripts we promised. They're

452
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 5: completely the same thing as the audio tapes, nothing more

453
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 5: to see.

454
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 4: You should be fine with that. Okay, well, two things.

455
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 5: One, do we trust Biden's Department of Justice to give

456
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 5: us clean transcripts? A you know, do we have any

457
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 5: reason to all do doubt that those Department of Justice

458
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 5: officials or others want to try to protect the president.

459
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 4: I think so that's reasonable.

460
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 5: Second, from a national security perspective, we need to hear

461
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 5: the audio. It's not just the words. We need to

462
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 5: understand the state and the condition of our commander in chief.

463
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 4: If this were a moment.

464
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 5: Of say forty to fifty eighty years ago, when we're

465
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 5: facing off against to the Soviets and it's in the

466
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 5: middle of the Cuban missile crisis, and we got to

467
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 5: make sure that we protect Kennedy because he's going through

468
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: some maniacal spell. Okay, we might want to bury the

469
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 5: story for a week or two, because you know, we

470
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 5: could all get new.

471
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 4: I got it. I might disagree, but I get it.

472
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 4: Like it's a little bit more reasonable, isn't it. But

473
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: that's not the case here.

474
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 5: It's very clearly the case of a Department of Justice

475
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 5: and a media protecting a man who is ancient.

476
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 4: His mind is shot.

477
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 5: We can all see it, and it's like that old

478
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 5: story that you tell the children about the king has no clothes.

479
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: We all know that he has no clothes, all of us.

480
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 5: And yet there are people in power who are trying

481
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 5: to protect him, pretending that he's got lovely robes on.

482
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: That's a big deal from a national security perspective. Put

483
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 5: aside your partisanship or your belief or where you like

484
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 5: that guy, they're not. We got a very dangerous world

485
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 5: out there, a lot of crazy people, they got nukes.

486
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: We need a guy in the White House or a

487
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 5: gal who has their mind and their wits about them.

488
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 5: That's what this is all about, and that's why we

489
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 5: need those audio tapes. The transcripts ain't enough. Of course,

490
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 5: Then the hypocrisy piece, the second part of that, Yeah,

491
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 5: go figure. You know Biden's people are protecting him. It's outrageous,

492
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 5: it's wrong, it's unlawful, and he's yet one more example

493
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 5: of law fair and that's what has to be cleaned up.

494
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 5: The Department of Justice is rotten to the core. That

495
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 5: has to be cleaned up or you are not going

496
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 5: to have a republic. It ain't gonna happen.

497
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: So what is so I know the Republicans, I mean

498
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: because a lot of people will say, well, look, you've

499
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: got the transcripts, why do you need the audio tapes?

500
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: And you know you have Democrats saying this is just partisan.

501
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: Look what the president's going through now with his son.

502
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: He's a recovering addict. The media talks about Hunter Biden

503
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: like he's a fifteen year old. Meanwhile, like he's like

504
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: a fifty year old corrupt you know, been working for

505
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: his dad for a decade now, maybe more so, help

506
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: us understand why the audio tapes are important.

507
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 5: Because it's not just what mister Biden says, it's also

508
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: how he says it. I mean, think about this from

509
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: a national security perspective. If you are, let's say it

510
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 5: told a singand officer and you're listening to a phone

511
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 5: call as one of those guys an analyst at say

512
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 5: NSA listening to a foreign leader. When they would write

513
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: up their reports and talk about what they heard. They

514
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: don't talk about just the words. They talk about the

515
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 5: state and the condition of the person speaking them, the tone.

516
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 5: Does their voice sound weak? Does it sound strong? Is

517
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 5: he fumbling and bumbling? During the Soviet era, we would

518
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 5: absolutely be listening to not just the words, but the

519
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 5: tone of the foreign leaders in Moscow. It is no

520
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 5: different here. An Intel officer with their salt would want

521
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 5: to hear the audio and not just listen to or

522
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 5: not just read the transcript. So there is a national

523
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 5: security reason. Irrational if you ask any sensible guy or

524
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: gal in the Intel community, who would have the chance

525
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 5: to listen to putin not just the words, but his

526
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 5: secret behind the scenes conversations, not just the transcripts, you

527
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 5: damn skippy. They would want to listen to those tapes.

528
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 5: And there's a reason for it. It's not just politics.

529
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 5: There is a very real clear national security angle here.

530
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 5: It looks some Republicans might want to use it for politics,

531
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 5: of course they would, But for the rest of us

532
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 5: who really care about the country and not just the politics,

533
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 5: we want to hear the Dagon tapes.

534
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: There's a real good reason for it, and we need

535
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 4: to hear them.

536
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: And what's crazy about it is like this, this interview happened,

537
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: what like with Robert Hurr a year ago, maybe maybe more,

538
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably about a year ago. And Biden's

539
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: clearly so much worse now, like you see him at

540
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: the G seven. If it wasn't for the Italian Prime

541
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: minister walking with him and guiding him. There might have

542
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: had there might have had a silver alert issued or

543
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: something like that, he seemed. And I say this as

544
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: somebody who just I just love the country. Do I

545
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: like Biden?

546
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: No?

547
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: Do I make fun of him all the time? Yes,

548
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: of course I'm a Lockstow and Beryl Trump guy. But

549
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: like you see, you don't want to see your president,

550
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican on the world stage just being embarrassed

551
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: like that, Brian, And like it's like you talk about

552
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: the Emperor has no clothes. We all see it for ourselves.

553
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: And so these audio tapes, like from a national security standpoint,

554
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: I do think it's important that that stuff is released.

555
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: And it's all the more important because when you look

556
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: at what's happening in the world in these you know,

557
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: Russian warships off the coast of Cuba, clearly, clearly things

558
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: are escalating all around the world. Kind of would like

559
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: to know that our commander in chief actually knows what

560
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: the hell day it is, right.

561
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 5: So let's emphasize and underline the point. It's not just

562
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 5: you or I or folks listening and watching right now

563
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 5: who see that Biden is very clearly a devented man

564
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 5: who is losing has lost his min long ago. Our

565
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 5: allies and adversaries alike see this as well. They know

566
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 5: that we've got somebody in the White House who, on

567
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 5: his best days are being propped up by some kind

568
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 5: of medication.

569
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 4: Worst days, the man is loopy.

570
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 5: And thus it's not him that's really leading the country

571
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 5: all the time, there are others. Who are those others?

572
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 5: What's the chain of command? How quickly can they make

573
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 5: a decision? It starts to inject a lot of uncertainty,

574
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 5: and that is a very very bad thing when you're

575
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 5: talking about the United States with nuclear weapons, who arguably

576
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 5: is not, if not the it is one of the

577
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 5: two superpowers in the world or three. Yeah, so a

578
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: lot of people are watching what is happening with this

579
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 5: White House, and there's a degree of weakness. Look at

580
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 5: the southern borders, there's one example. But look at mister

581
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 5: Biden himself. That's why this matters. That's why it's not

582
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 5: just embarrassing. That's not That is certainly one part of it,

583
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 5: but it suggests profound weakness. If you want to go

584
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 5: very tribal on this, if you're going to attack an

585
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 5: opposing tribe, you're going to do it when their chief

586
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 5: looks like, you know, he had a little bit too

587
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 5: much firewater, obviously, So that's.

588
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: Why this matters exactly. So let's like shift gears to

589
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: Ukraine and that region of the world. Speaking of the

590
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: world on fire, you know, Putin came out today and

591
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, laid down a ceasefire proposal with Ukraine. Said

592
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: Ukrainian troops should be completely withdrawn from Dantes and lu

593
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: Ganz and People's republics, Kiirson and Zapparzy regions. And he

594
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: also said Ukraine should promise to give up plans to

595
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: join NATO. So if those terms are met, Putin says

596
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: that ceasefire order will be declared immediately. It doesn't seem

597
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: like Biden and the Democrats, which strangely have become in

598
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: my lifetime, you know, a hawkish pro war party, which

599
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: I honestly never thought I would see, you know, but

600
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: they don't seem like they're much interested in a ceasefire

601
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: in Ukraine at all. What do you think about all this?

602
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 4: It's absolutely correct.

603
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 5: So look, you know, just last week and again this week,

604
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 5: we have seen a number of things that would suggest

605
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 5: there is absolutely no interest for peace in western capitals,

606
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 5: the United States, Brussels and beyond on. And that's because

607
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 5: they argue, at least publicly, that Putin is going to

608
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 5: march on the rest of Europe. Right, So that is

609
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 5: what they have said over and over and over again,

610
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 5: and that could be true. But show the evidence for that.

611
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 5: What's the justification. What is the intelligence. What is the

612
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: high quality or high confidence, multi sourced intelligence that tells

613
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 5: you that that is going to be true. Because if

614
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 5: it's there, then you can make a very compelling argument

615
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 5: that no peace deal with Ukraine is dumb because he's

616
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: just going to take it and restock the men and

617
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 5: the war material out and then he's going to continue

618
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 5: to march into Poland and Hungary and then eventually into Paris. Okay,

619
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 5: if you believe that to be true and you have

620
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 5: the intel, show it, make the case to the world.

621
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 5: They haven't and they won't. That doesn't mean that Putin

622
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: won't do that. But if you're going to continue to

623
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 5: lock your country into war, if you're going to sign

624
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 5: this country up for ten years of weapons and military

625
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: cooperation with Ukraine, which is what Biden has done this week,

626
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 5: for years to come right, you me, you might want

627
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 5: to just make the point a little bit more clearly

628
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 5: with high quality intel. Well, and the fact that they

629
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 5: haven't done that tells me that it's not there. So

630
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 5: why are we going to be interested in a piece

631
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 5: deal if we really believe that this is true, they're

632
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 5: going to march across Europe unless unless that's not what

633
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 5: it's really all about. And Senator Graham this we made

634
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 5: the comment or last Sunday made the comment that really

635
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 5: the war is all about the dirt, right, the minerals

636
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: on the ground, ten to twelve trillion dollars, That's why

637
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 5: we should care about Ukraine. That's why we should go

638
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 5: send our folks over there, men and women in uniform

639
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 5: for all the minerals. Oh okay, well, now it starts

640
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: to become a little bit more interesting.

641
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: That really frustrated me, and I thought, I've been thinking

642
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: about that particularly particular phrase. We covered it on the

643
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: show a little bit, but I've been thinking about that

644
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: for most of the week, because you know, this war

645
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: in Ukraine is just like every other war that I've

646
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: experienced in my life, where in Iraq it was, oh,

647
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: we've got to go in weapons of mass destruction in

648
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: Afghanistan nine to eleven. That's where Bin Laden is and

649
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: I understood. I understood that got to go get Bin Lauden.

650
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: Why are we staying for so long after? It was

651
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: because of nation building and making sure that the Afghanis

652
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: could could govern and secure their own people. But we

653
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: surrendered in Afghanistan, We withdrew from Iraq. We created a

654
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: void in Iraq, a vacuum in Iraq. Isis came to

655
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: fruition there, rampaged across the Middle East, left a trail

656
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: of bodies in their wake. And it just seems like

657
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: two things, Brian, where you have people say, well, listen,

658
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: this is about PreTect protecting democracy. It's about protecting freedom.

659
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: If you value freedom, put that Ukrainian flag in your bio,

660
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: come hell or high water. We're not letting the Russians

661
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: take Ukrainian freedom because that's what we believe. Like that's

662
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: what the rallying cry around Ukraine was for years. And

663
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: now it's like Lindsay Graham on television like, well, we

664
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: can't let them take the minerals, and I'm like, so,

665
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't about freedom and democracy and aspirational bullshit like that.

666
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: It was just like you just wanted minerals, right, and

667
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: then the whole Putin rampaging across Europe absolutely should be

668
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: sourced with intelligence and if it's there, presented to the

669
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: world make the case. I mean, you think we'd learn

670
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: our lessons after Iraq and weapons of mass destruction debacle.

671
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: But the whole like what I call the Neocon paradox,

672
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: where Republicans who are making the case that Putin is

673
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: going to rampage across Europe simultaneously say in the same

674
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: breath that we have to support Ukraine because Russia's on

675
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: the ropes. Well, if Russia's on the ropes and there's

676
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: a you know, people are about to take out Putin

677
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: and there are armies about to collapse, how then is

678
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: he going to have the capability to rampage across Europe.

679
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: None of this makes sense to me, and I think

680
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: ultimately that's why the American people buy Larns don't support

681
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: sending taxpayer dollars to Ukraine in perpetuity.

682
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 5: What do you think, Well, it's a very divided thing,

683
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 5: isn't it a polling show Republicans and independence do not

684
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 5: support continued don't this war in Ukraine?

685
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 4: S anymore cash Democrats do. But studying back, you mentioned something,

686
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 4: and let's.

687
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 5: Start with this talk about a rock and Afghanistan, we

688
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 5: could probably toss in Libya and Syria. The folks at

689
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 5: the Pentagon and the National Security Council who put together

690
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 5: that war strategy and how to execute it, the generals

691
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 5: and so forth, the senior brass they failed, and they

692
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 5: are still in power. A lot of those men are

693
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 5: still at the Pentagon and the NSSE, and they are

694
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 5: the ones executing the war strategy in Ukraine.

695
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: That doesn't seem very smart.

696
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 5: The guys who ruined us and all these other places

697
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 5: are now in this new war trying to figure out

698
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 5: how to win this one.

699
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 4: I don't think so. We don't have the best.

700
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 5: And brightest anymore run out of our military anyway.

701
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 4: But that aside.

702
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 5: The second piece that you're talking about that's so very

703
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 5: important is let's just assume that Putin is going to

704
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 5: march beyond Ukraine. Let's assume for a second that they've

705
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 5: got this grand design and the righteousness of our cause

706
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 5: of defending Ukraine is on our side. Let's just assume

707
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 5: that that's fine. But you got to fight the war.

708
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 5: Do you have the men on the ground to do it.

709
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 5: Do you have the war materiel already created? Do your

710
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 5: fact victories? Can they they produce this stuff? There is

711
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 5: the reality of actually fighting the war versus wanting to

712
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 5: fight it. Two very different things. And what we were

713
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 5: seeing in Ukraine. As Loosny, who was one of Zelensky's

714
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 5: most senior generals, was through the fall.

715
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 4: He was replaced.

716
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,959
Speaker 5: He has been saying for a long time, we don't

717
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 5: have the men to fight this. They are snatching men

718
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 5: off the street, throwing them in vans, trying to get

719
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 5: them to basic training. Earlier this week, the Washington Post

720
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 5: said that these guys, when they get to basic, they

721
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 5: don't even know how to fire a gun. They're not

722
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 5: even asked to fire the gun. When they get deployed.

723
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 5: They don't know how to fire a gun. They can't

724
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 5: disassemble it, they can't clean their gun. We're talking about

725
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 5: cannon fodder. So that matters. That really matters when you

726
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 5: start talking about sending stuff to Ukraine. There are not

727
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 5: enough folks on the ground to fight this war. Even

728
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 5: if you believe that the cause is just so, that

729
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 5: means that we've got to get the boots from somewhere,

730
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 5: and guess where those are going to come from. We're

731
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 5: hearing it from France and the Baltic nations in Poland

732
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 5: and O. They're talking about we've got to get NATO

733
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 5: troops on the ground. That's you and I, my friend,

734
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 5: a friend still in uniform.

735
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 4: That's who is going to have to fight this war.

736
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 5: Ukraine is running out of men, and that is going

737
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 5: to be the continued problem for this war. Even if

738
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 5: you believe that Ukraine is that the fight is justin

739
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 5: Zelenski's fight is just we don't have the war material

740
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 5: and we don't have the men unless we want to

741
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 5: send our men there.

742
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: I've said it over and over that the longer the

743
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: stalemate in Ukraine, the longer we continue to support them

744
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: with no real end in sight, no diplomatic strategy. The

745
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: longer that stalemate drags on, the more likely it is

746
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: for American sons and daughters to be boots on the

747
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: ground there keeping the peace facing down a Russian horde.

748
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: And that is not something that I want. I know,

749
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: it's not something that you want. The American people sure

750
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: as hell don't want that. And you look at all

751
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: these people with the Ukrainian flags and their bios, like,

752
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: do you support Ukraine so much that you're willing to

753
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: send your son or daughter to die for the cause.

754
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: If the answer to that question is no, you should

755
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: probably take the damn flag out of your bio because

756
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: that's where this thing is headed.

757
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 5: Well, and let's pause there for a second, because one

758
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 5: of the things you talked about in terms of the

759
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 5: deep state, where we talk about Lindsey Graham, you combine

760
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 5: those two things together, and actually there's a theme here

761
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 5: for a lot of those folks, including some of the

762
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 5: folks of the CIA that I used to work with,

763
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 5: and I think a lot of folks at the Pentagon,

764
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 5: in the State Department n SC, they view the world

765
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 5: kind of like that that board game risk, right where

766
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 5: you have your men and you have your dies and

767
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 5: you throw them and you want to conquer different territories

768
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 5: because you think it's a game. It's something that you

769
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 5: sit down at you know, Foggy Bottom with the State

770
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 5: Department guys, and you know up at Harvard and we

771
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 5: dalind we said, we talk about the world.

772
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 4: You know. That is how they look at this.

773
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 5: And they sit around with their cocktails and they think

774
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 5: about how we're going to reorder the world. And it

775
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 5: is an academic exercise. It's not a board game. It's

776
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 5: not an exercise. These are real men and women who

777
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 5: go abroad and they die, and a lot of people

778
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 5: are wreck not just men and women in uniform, but civilians.

779
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you, for me, and I think probably

780
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 5: for you, you have a lot of friends who didn't

781
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 5: come home from these conflicts, and if they did come home,

782
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 5: they were missing limbs, or their minds were so shot

783
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 5: that they struggle with alcoholists or anxiety issues or depression,

784
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 5: or they put a bullet in their damn head.

785
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

786
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 5: So that's the real consequence to the Lindsay Grahams and

787
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 5: the neocons and others who want to get involved in

788
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 5: the war who think it's a board game, or they're

789
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 5: setting up in the Harvard School of Governance and they're like, well,

790
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 5: dal and we must take Ukraine. These people are not

791
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:21,959
Speaker 5: the ones who have to deal with their best friends

792
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 5: who come to sit back in their porch and want

793
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 5: to put a bullet into frigginhead.

794
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 4: I've had that happen. I don't know if you have.

795
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 5: I would imagine you probably had those conversations with friends

796
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 5: that's when this becomes very, very real. And this is

797
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 5: not just about a bio you know, flag in your bio,

798
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 5: or you know, we need the minerals. But when you

799
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 5: have friends who die, it becomes a lot more real.

800
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: It's such a great point and I have many many times.

801
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I've lost more friends of these stupid wars

802
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: than I over thirty of my friends, you know, as

803
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: a ground pounding frontline infantry guy for sixteen months, and

804
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: battalion went back to RC East Paktika Province, Afghanistan twice

805
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: in nine months. It was just I mean, yeah, it's horrible.

806
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: And when you see the you know, the hell of

807
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: war on the on the battlefield and the fallout at home,

808
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: it kind of gives you a different perspective, Brian, And

809
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: that's ultimately like my perspectives on these on this fight.

810
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: You people like to say, oh, you're a Trump guy,

811
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: you're an America first guy, you're an isolationist, like, okay,

812
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: label me in any way that you want. But my

813
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: perspectives have been shaped by my experiences conducting diplomacy at

814
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: the tip of the spear with Afghan warlords. I know

815
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: how they think, and I've seen the fallout from politicians

816
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: in Washington on both sides of the aisle that do

817
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: exactly what you said. They look at the world as

818
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: if it's like a game of risk. Send American troops here,

819
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: pull them out of here, not even like fully understanding

820
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: or comprehending what it means. And it drives me crazy.

821
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: It drives me crazy. And then you look at, you know,

822
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: the consequences of the world with people who really don't

823
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: have they're just politicians. They don't really have any experience

824
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: fighting wars or in the really like like you did

825
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: in the intelligence community as an operations office. So there's

826
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: politicians that had briefings, you know, and you know, you

827
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: look at now you've got Russian warships, you know, ninety

828
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: miles off the coast of what's going on with that,

829
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: like if you see, like obviously Putin doesn't feel very

830
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: afraid of Biden in the White House or any of

831
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: the lackeys behind the curtain running the show.

832
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 4: Right.

833
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 5: So I think that there's two things with this Russia

834
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 5: in Cuba stuff, you know. First, to be fair, we

835
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 5: have seen this kind of activity for many, many years.

836
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 5: In fact, we're going to see it much more throughout

837
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 5: this summer and into the fall, Moscow is sending its

838
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 5: long range bombers the first time I think about five

839
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 5: or six years.

840
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 4: These kinds of exercises are actually pretty common common.

841
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 5: That is to say that the Russian's going in the

842
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 5: Atlantic or the Caribbean. So we're gonna see a lot

843
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 5: more of that, and we have for years. So in

844
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 5: that sense, it's not that big of a deal. The

845
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 5: United States does this a lot, by the way, and

846
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 5: the Taiwan straight in the South China Sea and the

847
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 5: Pacific nearest China or the Koreas, so.

848
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 4: In that sense it's not a huge deal.

849
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 5: The question is, you know what signal is Putin trying

850
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 5: to send and does that really matter? So what he's

851
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 5: clearly trying to say is, look, y'all have beat me

852
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 5: up in Ukraine. You're using your proxy forces, but we

853
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 5: still pack a punch. Just want to remind you, just

854
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 5: just in case anybody's forgotten, And that's what Putin is

855
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 5: doing here with this latest series of ships and the

856
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 5: long range bombers to come throughout this summer into the

857
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 5: foll He's just reminding everybody that he can still get

858
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 5: into this fight. Just be real careful so that's what

859
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 5: this is really about.

860
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question, Brian. I had

861
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: some audience questions from the last time you were on

862
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: the show, and so we're gonna shift years abruptly from

863
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: foreign policy to questions about you personally. And the question

864
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: that I got most often was how the hell do

865
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: you keep your teeth so white? And if if you're

866
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: clearly you gotta have some sort of sponsorship with a

867
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: teeth whitener on your on your plan right like, because

868
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing is working. Man.

869
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 4: Thank you? Well, I I'm flattered, uh for for the compliment. Yeah.

870
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 5: Look, you know I'm pushing fifties, so I'm gonna take

871
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 5: whatever compliment I can get. I don't have your hair.

872
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 5: This is every time I see you, let me. I

873
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 5: just like, like, I want his hair. How do I

874
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 5: get that?

875
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: My kids say that I have fancy hair.

876
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, it's very fancy.

877
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: Thank you?

878
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 4: Yes, you know? Uh so what teeth? What? I just

879
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 4: I brush?

880
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just brush, that's it.

881
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 5: Maybe I not, Yes, like I don't I go to

882
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 5: the Dennis twice a year.

883
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know.

884
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, You're like, I'm sorry. I took you totally off

885
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: guard by that. I got a lot of questions about it.

886
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: People want to know what you're doing.

887
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 4: Well, all I can say is, brush you know.

888
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So what are you talking about on the Right

889
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: Report lately? I tell you the time you were on

890
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: the show, you told me about a country that I

891
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: didn't even know existed. So talk to me about what

892
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: you got going on on the Right Report. If you're

893
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: not subscribed, folks that are listening and watching, you've got

894
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: to subscribe. Wherever you listen to podcasts The Right Report

895
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: with Brian Dean Wright. It's like your own personal presidential

896
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: Daily Brief. And if you want, like you know smart

897
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know the smart Intel and what's happening

898
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: in the world, like you should subscribe to that. But

899
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: tell us what you talked about this week, my friend.

900
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 5: The whole goal is to take people around it, not

901
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 5: just the country, but around the world and say, look,

902
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 5: why do these crazy places matter to us? And try

903
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 5: to tie your pocketbooks or your family to the country's

904
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 5: fate to what's going on in these strange places. This week,

905
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 5: one of the things that I talked about was the

906
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 5: fact that our Secretary of State said to Hamas, look,

907
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 5: you've just rejected the latest peace deal that was I

908
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 5: believe on Wednesday, And he said to Hamas, look, the

909
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 5: time for haggling is over. At some point, the haggling

910
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 5: has to stop. And what I talked about was compare

911
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 5: that to what we see with President She and his

912
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 5: belief that he must continue this fight. It's about it's

913
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 5: about destiny, it's about creating a world under his order.

914
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 5: And in many ways, President She and the head of Hamas,

915
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 5: who's a man named Guya Seinoar, they are both chasing

916
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 5: destiny for their nations and their tribes. And if we

917
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 5: have a National Security Council and staff and our chief

918
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 5: diplomat saying, hey, the time to haggle is over.

919
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 4: We got to find a deal.

920
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 5: No, No, those men are chasing history. They're trying to

921
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 5: reorder the world. For Seinoar's part, he's trying to, you know,

922
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 5: kick the Jews out and take over the lands from

923
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 5: the river to the sea.

924
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 4: Those are his Arabs. That's what he argues. You're not

925
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 4: going to haggle with that.

926
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,959
Speaker 5: So for our chief diplomat to say, let's let let's

927
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 5: just work something out and stop haggling, it's crazy. Why

928
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 5: do we care about that? Well, we have lots of

929
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 5: men and women in uniform in places like a Rock

930
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 5: and Syria, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean. That's important. Also,

931
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, you all who are listening to you

932
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 5: have invested over three hundred million dollars and a lovely peer.

933
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 4: Off the Gossa script. The damn thing keeps falling apart.

934
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 4: Oop see, I don't know if you saw just today.

935
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 5: They're actually going to pull that back into Israel over

936
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 5: the weekend because the waves are going to be a

937
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 5: little bit too high.

938
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: Incredible.

939
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 5: We invested over three hundred million dollars and a peer

940
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 5: that can't by design, cannot take over a foot or

941
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 5: a foot and a half of waves when we know

942
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 5: that the waves off the God's Strip can go as

943
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 5: high as five or plus feet.

944
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 4: Well, who made that choice? Who decided to.

945
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 5: Build a peer that's going to fall apart with anyway?

946
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 5: It's crazy. The White House screwed up on that one. Depentagon,

947
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 5: by the way, I don't know people know this. Dependagon

948
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 5: warned the White House that this idea of a peer

949
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 5: was stupid, shouldn't do it anyway. But here we are

950
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 5: So I talk about that this week about.

951
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: She why did the White House do it? Because they

952
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: needed a photo op, They needed a photo hoop.

953
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 5: No, in all seriousness, I believe Biden knows that he

954
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 5: has to win Michigan. He has to win place just

955
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 5: like Arizona, Pennsylvania, others that have twenty thirty eighty thousand

956
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,720
Speaker 5: Muslim Americans. Based on what we know from polling, about

957
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 5: sixty percent of American Muslims believe that Hamas is in

958
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 5: the right. About sixty percent of the American Muslim population

959
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 5: in this country believes that Hamas's right to attack Israel

960
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 5: on October seventh. That's sobering in and of itself. But

961
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 5: the point is that that is part of Joe Biden's coalition.

962
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 5: So he has to satiate their anger and help them

963
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 5: to basically go to the bout box and if they

964
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 5: have to pinch the nose and vote for him. So

965
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 5: he's got to put out this peer. He's got to

966
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 5: show that he is eightying the Palestenian people.

967
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 4: That's a pretty big deal. So that's why that peers.

968
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 5: Even though he knew and the Pentagon briefed him that

969
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 5: they think was going to fall apart.

970
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 4: That's why he did it. It's just politics, ugly ugly politics.

971
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: Well, so where can people find you? Brian?

972

998
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: So listen, going into the weekend, it's Father's Day. I

999
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: want to tell all the fathers out there and grandfathers

1000
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, thank you. It is not an easy job

1001
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: being a dad or father in America. If you're doing

1002
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: it right, you know, your kids come first all the time.

1003
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: If you're doing it right, you're thinking about how your

1004
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: decisions impact your kids and what's best for them all

1005
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: the time. And you know, the reason why I say

1006
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: it's not easy to be a dad in America is

1007
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: because you're constantly and there's all these crazy, harmful stereotypes

1008
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: about dads and sitcoms. Obviously, this is something that's deeply

1009
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: personal to me, having fought in the family court for years,

1010
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: fighting just to be in the lives of my kids.

1011
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: And I am and I love it. We've got a

1012
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: great family. All that hell is behind me. But my

1013
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: point is is that it's tough being a dad, and

1014
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: you've got all these stereotypes of the stupid father and

1015
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: every sitcom known to mand. Just know that you are appreciated.

1016
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: Strong fathers are necessary in every single family. And if

1017
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: you are a strong father and a strong dad and

1018
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: you care and love your family and you're there for

1019
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: them and you think about them every day, this is

1020
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: your weekend. And I want to say Happy Father's Day

1021

1022

1023
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: is the two core tenants of your job, something that

1024
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: I take very very seriously. Protect and provide. If these

1025
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 1: things are important to you and your kids are important

00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright is awesome. Next week, We've got an

1031
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: amazing show. So many cool, exciting things coming down the pike.

1032
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: By the way, like I'm hosting Jesse Kelly's nationally syndicated

1033
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: radio show again on a couple more dates here in

1034
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: the summer, I'm hosting Wendy Bell I think in the

1035
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: last week of July, first week of August for an

1036
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: entire week. That's gonna be awesome. So the show is growing,

1037
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: and it's growing because of you all. So thank you

1038
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: to the Battle crew. Thank you to mcgroin nation who

00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: also joins this show and is responsible for helping this

1040
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: show grow. On your way out, make sure you smash

1041
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: that like button, that little green thumb beneath the video.

1042
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: We don't always hit it, but I always like to

1043
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: try to hit two hundred likes by the end of

1044
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: a show. That's sort of the benchmark to get on

1045
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: the leaderboard at Rumble. I think likes are weighted pretty heavily.

1046
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: To get on the leaderboard at Rumble, you got to

1047
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: have between six hundred seven hundred likes. I think you know,

1048
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: on some of our good days, we're between three p

1049
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: fifty and five hundred. So smash that like button. It

1050
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: helps the show immensely. Tell your family and your friends

1051
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: to subscribe to Battleground Live. We need them in the
