If you were killed, we know what the 172 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 13: motivation is. So this is essentially the bargain that your 173 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 13: leaders have made with you in the West. 174 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 6: They've said, don't be racist. 175 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 13: You've got to import the Third world, or you're racist 176 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 13: and you're gonna like it invade you. You know, your 177 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 13: communities invade me harder, daddy. That's the bargain. Now, what 178 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 13: did you get out of that? You got approximately nothing 179 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 13: except now every time the Muslim community feels offended, you 180 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 13: have to watch fellow Americans get shot up and bombs 181 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 13: thrown at them. So, congratulations, Western man, this is the 182 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 13: world that you've created, and for no particular reason. But 183 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 13: this is a sad truth of this new reality that 184 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 13: we live in. We have a bunch of Muslims all 185 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 13: over the country now, all over the West, including Canada, England, France, Germany. 186 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 6: And when they get offended there might. 187 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 13: Drive their car into your parade or your Christmas festival. 188 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 13: They might shoot up your consulate or throw IDs at 189 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 13: you when you're protesting on the street, or they might 190 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 13: just be your mayor in New York. 191 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 6: So that's the breaking news. 192 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 13: It's not good news, but it's unfortunately the reality that 193 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 13: we live in. 194 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 6: Now. 195 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 13: There is another angle that is also happening and we're 196 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 13: going to get into this with Senator Kennedy when he joins. 197 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 13: He had a vote come up, so he's going to 198 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 13: be joining us in the B block here. But President 199 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 13: Trump told some reporters last night that the military mission 200 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 13: is nearly complete now. The markets loved this. The Dow 201 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 13: Jones was down all day yesterday when shooting back up 202 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 13: ended the day up almost two hundred and forty points. Oil, 203 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 13: which had spiked almost as high as one hundred and 204 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 13: fifteen hundred and twenty dollars a barrel, is down around 205 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 13: ninety now. 206 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 6: So the war is very nearly complete. 207 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 13: Is the interesting way that he put this, so let's 208 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 13: make sure. 209 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 15: He said it's very complete, but also just beginning, which 210 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 15: I think, and then a reporter asked him about it 211 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 15: and he said, in the way only Trump can it 212 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 15: could be both. Yeah, well I'm both. We're very complete 213 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 15: so far and we're just beginning. How complete are the 214 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 15: words of Charlie? The unpredictability is the point. But it's 215 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 15: interesting to see the markets react to this. Let's see 216 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 15: here cuts up on iron. 217 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 6: You called it an excursion. You said it would be 218 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 6: over soon. Are you thinking this week it will be 219 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 6: over some days? 220 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 16: I think so, okay, very soon. Look, everything they have 221 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 16: is gun, including their leadership. In fact, they have two 222 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 16: levels of leadership and even actually, as it turns out, 223 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 16: more than that, but two levels of leadership are gone. 224 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 16: Most people have never even heard about the leaders that 225 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 16: they're talking about. So uh, it's obviously been very very powerful, 226 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 16: very effective. 227 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 6: So yeah, Blake's point, I think. 228 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 13: You know, we had Robert Barnes on yesterday and he 229 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 13: was basically suggesting the president could declare victory at any 230 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 13: point he wanted at this at this time and use 231 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 13: that as an off ramp. 232 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 15: It seems he could possibly even declare victory while still 233 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 15: waging the conflict. 234 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 13: I actually think think there is a strategic brilliance to 235 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 13: this though. Actually, I think the President understands that the 236 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 13: Navy has been essentially degraded to the point that it's 237 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 13: going to take them years, if not decades, to recreate. 238 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 6: The military infrastructure. 239 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 13: I think they've got about twenty percent of the rocket 240 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 13: launchers missile launchers remaining. I'm assuming those are going to 241 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 13: be some of the cleanup work that's going on right now. 242 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 13: The real question, though, is at what point, from a 243 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 13: regime standpoint, is victory real. You know, you gotta understand 244 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 13: the regime tried to assassinate President Trump a couple of times. 245 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 13: At least they are And by the way, the new leader, 246 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 13: the son of Khamanee or whatever. 247 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 6: His wife was killed, his son was killed, he was killed, 248 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 6: dad was killed. 249 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 15: No one has seen him yet. He might be a figurehead. 250 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 6: The president. 251 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 15: The President said he it's not going to be a 252 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 15: long drawn out conflict. We have to hope that's true. 253 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 15: I think it will be politically harmful if it is 254 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 15: not true. So of course, we want to have this 255 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 15: end quickly. I think everyone wants it to end quickly. 256 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 15: But the question is is how much will they be 257 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 15: able to achieve before they can just say all right, 258 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 15: we're done and go home. 259 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 17: Right. 260 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 15: But the thing that is inevitably true is it's a 261 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 15: lot easier to start a conflict than to end it. 262 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 15: And to some extent, as you said, all that all 263 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 15: the new Supreme leaders family members got killed. 264 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 6: What if he doesn't want it to end. 265 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 15: What if he says, I'm going to send suicide bombers 266 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 15: everywhere that we can. 267 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 6: There's a larger question. 268 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 13: About what it's going to take to get the population 269 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 13: to take back their country or do we even want that? 270 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 6: Do we even care? 271 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 13: And it seems that in recent days, last two days specifically, 272 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 13: the ADMIN has been signaling that that's not as that's 273 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 13: not as huge of a concern as maybe we anticipated 274 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 13: at the beginning. Remember, they've lost about fifty of their 275 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 13: their you know, sort of political leaders, their their top brass. 276 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 13: So it'll be interesting to see details coming next. Hopefully 277 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 13: Senator Kennedy will be done with his vote and will 278 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 13: be joining us in the next block.

Here's 336 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 18: what our intelligence showed. You would think after the curb 337 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 18: stomping that America and Israel gave Iran back in June, 338 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 18: that they would have learned their lesson. 339 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 5: They didn't. 340 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 18: Our intelligence showed that Iran had restarted it's a nuclear 341 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 18: weapons program. It was producing between two hundred and six 342 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 18: hundred missiles a month. 343 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 5: Its goal was to stockpiles. 344 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 18: So many drunes and so many ballistic and cruise missiles 345 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 18: that it could threaten to destroy the entire Middle East 346 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 18: if anybody interfered with their renewed efforts to get a 347 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 18: nuclear weapon. That's not a world that's safe for America. 348 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 18: The President, in my opinion, did not start a war. 349 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 18: He's trying to prevent a war. It will be a 350 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 18: limited excursion. So far, we've destroyed seventy five percent of 351 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 18: their missile launchers, were destroying their missile manufacturing facilities, their 352 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 18: drone manufacturing facilities, their new efforts to get a nuclear warhead. 353 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 18: We're destroying all of the infrastructure for the Revolutionary Guard. 354 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 18: I think that will be complete in the next few weeks, 355 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 18: and then I expect the President to withdraw. I do 356 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 18: not believe he will send troops. If he sends troops, 357 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 18: the thud you hear will be me face planning from surprise. 358 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 6: Please don't do that. Uh. 359 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 13: But I think that's a really good assessment. And I 360 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 13: think that, you know, when the conflict started, I felt 361 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 13: that the it had not been sold properly to the 362 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 13: American public. I trust the President and his instincts, and 363 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 13: we have his back, but I did not feel that. 364 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 6: It had been sold properly. 365 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 13: I do feel that comments from Senator Secretary of Rubio, 366 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 13: from JD. Vance, from Secretary Hegseeth have completed the picture. 367 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 13: And I think you've done a beautiful job there. 368 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 6: Senator. 369 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 18: The question Andrew, if I could say, if I could 370 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 18: say this, I think you're I think. 371 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 5: You're you're You're. 372 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 18: Dead on there. Look, we both know the President as 373 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 18: long as I've known him. He one of his character 374 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 18: traits is that he grows anxious when he has an 375 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 18: unexpressed thought. He has no filter, and sometimes that prevents 376 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 18: him from articulating a message that is as tight or 377 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 18: coherent as we would like. 378 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 5: Rubio is there to help. Headseth is there to help. 379 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 18: And what I just told you is what we have 380 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 18: been told by the administration in classified and unclassified brief briefings. 381 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 6: Yeah. 382 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 13: I think you are a great messenger. It's one of 383 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 13: your hallmarks, and I think you've done a very good 384 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 13: job of that right now. 385 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 6: Now. 386 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 13: The question, though, is there's also a political calculus. And 387 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 13: one of the things that I've been aware of is 388 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 13: that this could be the absolute spot on right decision 389 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 13: from a national security perspective, but it could have political ramifications. 390 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 13: I can tell you, Senator that you know the gen 391 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 13: zers that we're talking to on campus, our students. They're 392 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 13: telling us that young people, they don't want this conflict, 393 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 13: even those that vote for President Trump do not want 394 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 13: this conflict. What would your message be to gen zers 395 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 13: watching and listening that are skeptical of any war. 396 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 18: Well, look, those are fair questions that are being asked. 397 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 18: People remember well Afghanistan, people remember well, maybe people remember 398 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 18: well a Raq. Those are very fair questions. What I 399 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 18: would tell them is the truth. 400 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 5: What I just said. 401 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 18: I'm not going to repeat it. This is a limited intervention. 402 00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 18: It's not something we wanted. We negotiated with the Layla 403 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 18: who now is dead as wood. Joe Wilson and I 404 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 18: don't won't shed a tear for him. We negotiated with 405 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 18: him for weeks. He said no to everything except lunch, 406 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 18: and it became clear that we were going to get nowhere. 407 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 18: I would like to see the president. He hasn't asked 408 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 18: me for advice, so you know I'm gonna offer it anyway. 409 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 18: I would like to see the President address the nation 410 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 18: and say here's why I went in, and here's when 411 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 18: I'm coming out, Here's what we've accomplished, here's my objective. 412 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 13: Yeah, well said, I agree with that, and then it 413 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 13: kind of leads to my next question, Senator, And we'll 414 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 13: do this. We've got to do a funny little for 415 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 13: our radio affiliates. We've got to take a quick pause. 416 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 13: We're going to continue on with Real America's Voice and 417 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 13: on streaming and podcasts. So quick little break here, Senator, 418 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 13: don't you we're not saying goodbye. We're keeping you for 419 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 13: a couple more minutes here. Uh, but we've gotta we've 420 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 13: got to ask the question, what does success look like? 421 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 13: We're being told it's nearly complete, all right, So one 422 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 13: quick break, don't go anywhere, Real America's voice. We're gonna 423 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 13: continue on, all right, more with Senator John Kennedy from 424 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 13: the great state of Louisiana, a proud oil and energy state. Uh. Senator, 425 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 13: So we've been told, we played the clip before you joined, 426 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 13: that you know this could be nearly complete, and that 427 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 13: it's going to be short. So now we're hearing the 428 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 13: messaging kind of pivot. There's a little bit of a 429 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 13: pivot in the messaging. What what does success look like 430 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 13: in this conflict? If Comane's son is still, you know, 431 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 13: the the new supreme leader. 432 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 18: Well, here here's what success looks like to me, And 433 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 18: and I don't speak for him, but I think it 434 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 18: a President Trumpet would agree, says to me, is Iran 435 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 18: or the political theological leadership in Iran having four wheels 436 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 18: down and their axle dragging drone manufacturing facilities gone missile 437 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 18: manufacturing facilities gone, new steps to obtain a nuclear warhead gone, 438 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 18: Iranian Navy gone, Iranian Air Force gone. 439 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 17: Uh. 440 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 18: As much infrastructure as we can find for the Revolutionary 441 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 18: Guard gone. 442 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 5: And then the good people uh. 443 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 18: And they are good people of Iran who don't want 444 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 18: these uh, these these knob heads running their country any 445 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 18: more than anybody else in the world does. Will have 446 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 18: an opportunity, perhaps maybe to to choose their own government. 447 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 20: Uh. 448 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 18: Success to me looks like a few more weeks. I 449 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 18: don't want to leave too soon, just because of my 450 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 18: Democratic colleagues are screaming like they're part of a prison right. 451 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 18: They're not going to support anything that President Trump does. 452 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 18: But that's what success looks like to me. 453 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 15: I guess a rational concerned a lot of people have 454 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 15: is if we if we even if we do all 455 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 15: that destruction, if we come out and the regimes is 456 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 15: still in place and still despises us, would we be 457 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 15: able to go back? 458 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 6: I guess I would just be worried. 459 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 15: Is this just a giant, a bigger version of what 460 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 15: happened last summer? Where we go in and we break 461 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 15: a lot of stuff, but the fundamental problem is still 462 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 15: there and might even hate us a lot more. 463 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 5: Well. 464 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 18: I supported what we did last summer, and I support 465 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 18: what we what we're doing now. I'm not going to 466 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 18: repeat everything I just said. The question I think most 467 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 18: fair minded people have to ask themselves is is the 468 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 18: world better off off after we leave Aroun this time 469 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 18: having done what I just said we were going to do, 470 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 18: and we're doing it. 471 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 5: We're almost done. Is the world better off? 472 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 18: And? I think the answer and are they Runian people 473 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 18: better off? Have we completely solved the problem? 474 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 10: Noo. 475 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 18: It's going to take regime change, but the people of 476 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 18: Iran are going to have to determine that they want 477 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 18: regime change. Look, the new Supreme Leader just like the 478 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 18: old Supreme Leader. They believe that their God tells them 479 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 18: to kill everybody who doesn't agree with them, not just Americans, 480 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 18: not just top Israelis, even they're fellow Muslims. I don't 481 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 18: think any fair minded person believes that they are not 482 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 18: trying to obtain a nuclear weapon. I don't think any 483 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 18: fair minded person believes that if they obtain a nuclear 484 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 18: warhead and the missile technology to deliver it, they will 485 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 18: use it. 486 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 5: And once they get it. 487 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 18: I don't think any fair minded person believes that that 488 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 18: will not lead to nuclear proliferation. Every country in the 489 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 18: Middle East will obtain a nuclear weapons so well Japan, 490 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 18: so well South Korea, so will Australia, and then it's 491 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 18: off to the races. We have a chance to stop it. 492 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 18: Does it necessarily mean regime change? I don't know, guys. 493 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 5: I hope so, but. 494 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 18: You know I have to I can't predict the future. 495 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 18: I have to wait for it like everybody else.

Cut three. 532 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 18: You're testifying that President Trump approved this ahead of time, 533 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 18: so I'm understanding. 534 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 7: We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people. 535 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 18: No, Ma, I'm asking you a chart, interrupt. But the 536 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 18: President approved ahead of time you spending two hundred and 537 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 18: twenty million dollars running TV edge across the country in 538 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 18: which you are matured prominently. 539 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes.

Obviously that interaction led to. 546 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 13: Your colleague, Senator Mark Waynemullen being announced as the new 547 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 13: DHS secretary. 548 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 15: So I have I have a question. What do you 549 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 15: have against Senator Mullen? Why posting him into the bureaucracy? Y. 550 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 18: Look, I I accept for responsibility for that. 551 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 5: That was me. 552 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 18: Nobody put me up to it, nobody asked me to 553 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 18: do it, nobody approved my questions. 554 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 5: Uh, that was me. 555 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: Uh. 556 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 5: I have I have a lot of gratitude to. 557 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 18: The former Secretary Department for securing the southern border. Actually 558 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 18: it was President Trump who secured the southern border. She 559 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 18: and her team implemented his policies. But there are management 560 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 18: problems at the Department of Homeland Security. 561 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 5: I only got to talk about two. 562 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 18: Of them in the limited time I had, But there 563 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 18: are others, and they are distracting, and we're distracting from 564 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 18: President Trump's agenda and our agenda to make this country better. 565 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 18: At number two, a quarter of a billion, not a million, 566 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 18: quarter of a billion dollars to run ads in which 567 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 18: the secretary starred. To me, they looked like political ads. 568 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 18: Quarter of a billion dollars and apparently they weren't bit out, 569 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 18: and they they allegedly went to friends of hers. I 570 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 18: consider that spending poorn. The President didn't approve it. I'm 571 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 18: going to call out spending porn every single time, doesn't 572 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 18: matter who does it. 573 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 5: And you can write that down and take it home 574 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 5: to Mama. 575 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 18: And if somebody gets upset about that, they need to 576 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 18: fill out a hurt feelings report because I'm going to 577 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 18: keep doing it. And that's all it was to it. 578 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 18: It wasn't some deep dark agenda. 579 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 5: It was meet my doing. Some liked it, some didn't. 580 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 18: But I will tell you this, I've seen President Trump 581 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 18: mad before, but this time, as I said the other day, 582 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 18: he was mad as a murder hornet. 583 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 6: Yeah. 584 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 13: Well, interesting background that you were probably not aware of. 585 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 13: We spent the whole day before the announcement was made 586 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 13: that there was going to be a change of leadership 587 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 13: calling this out. And why it was so important was 588 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 13: because the Democrats have known about out this stuff and 589 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 13: they were waiting to pounce and if they get power 590 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 13: in after the midterms, god forbid, they were going to 591 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 13: use this against the president and you, So you did 592 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 13: the nation of service, and I'll prove it to you. 593 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 13: Here's Jamie Raskin in the House Cut. 594 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 10: One investigation into the hundreds of millions of dollars that 595 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 10: Secretary Nome channeled to various political friends and intimates of hers, 596 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 10: so that that money can be reclaimed for the American people. 597 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: Hundreds of millions of. 598 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 10: Dollars might be a joke to somebody in the Trump cabinet, 599 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 10: but it's not a joke to the American people. 600 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 13: And I've been hearing rumors, Senator that they were going 601 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 13: to use these for impeachment, maybe impeachment of no maybe 602 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 13: impeachment of President Trump. So you getting ahead of this 603 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 13: did a great service to the country and I genuinely 604 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 13: thank you for it. And it's no disrespect for some 605 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 13: of the achievements. But yeah, we'd been here in rumblings ourselves, 606 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 13: and so I think you did a really great thing 607 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 13: and it showed a lot of courage. So the question 608 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 13: is you had you had a hearing this morning where 609 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 13: somebody was saying that the judges, the judicial activists that 610 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 13: are fighting ICE and deportations are braver than our ICE agents, 611 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 13: and you you said that. That guy triggered your gag reflex. 612 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 13: I thought it was another brilliant line. Tell us what 613 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 13: success looks like at DHS deportations. It's one of the 614 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 13: central planks of the President's agenda. 615 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 18: Legal immigration is legal illegal immigration? 616 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 5: You said, I legal? Uh duh. 617 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 18: Our immigration laws are not some second tier statues that 618 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 18: people can violate without consequence. We need to enforce our 619 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 18: immigration laws. Number two, How you enforce the matters, they 620 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 18: have to be enforced in accordance with due process, with 621 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 18: equal protection, uh, in accordance with the standards set forth 622 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 18: for reasonable suspicion in the Supreme. 623 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 5: Court case of Terry v. Ohio. 624 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 18: If you want to protest them, you have every right 625 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 18: as an American. You do not have the right to 626 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 18: protest violently. Violence undermines the morality of what you say 627 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 18: your movement stands for Gandhi knew that Doctor King knew 628 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 18: that Mandela knew that protesting violently is also exquisitely stupid. 629 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 18: You're going to get hurt. Most cops that I know, 630 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 18: the vast majority, will leave you alone unless you do 631 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 18: illegal stuff. And then if you do illegal stuff, they're 632 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 18: going to enforce the law. That also seems to me 633 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,439 Speaker 18: to be a matter of common sense. I think Mark 634 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 18: Wayne will bring some common sense back. I think Mark 635 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 18: Wayne trusts Tom Holand, who I think has done an 636 00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 18: admirable job. 637 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 5: I think he will be firm. 638 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 18: I think he will be fair, and I think he 639 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 18: will be confirmed by the United States Senate. I think 640 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 18: the President has chosen him well. He's tough as a 641 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 18: pine knot, and I hope he gets you confirmed quickly. 642 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 13: Senator, one last question for you, and I know you 643 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 13: got to run here. There is some rumors of what, 644 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 13: if any sort of deals could be made with these 645 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 13: blue jurisdictions, the sanctuary cities and sanctuary states to get 646 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 13: them to cooperate. Some people have mentioned that we might 647 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 13: have to offer up a pathway. 648 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 6: For Dhaka recipients or something. 649 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 13: Right, these are things that are going to grade against 650 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 13: the base the people in this audience. Do you feel 651 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 13: like some sort of deal needs to be made in 652 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 13: that way or is that what they're going to demand? 653 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 13: How can we get the Democrats to even fund DHS. 654 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 13: There's a lot of questions here, But is there anything 655 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 13: that you'd be willing I know you're not the secretary, 656 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 13: but is there anything that you'd be willing to offer 657 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 13: up in exchange for getting them to cooperate with ICE detainers? 658 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 18: I don't think there's anything we can't offer up. I 659 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 18: wouldn't support offering them up anything. Most of these people 660 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 18: believe in open borders. They believe and they are also 661 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 18: the ones who told us to defund the police. We've 662 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 18: seen that Vampire movie. We know how it turns out. 663 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 18: They also that now they want to defund ICE. That's 664 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 18: ultimately what this is all about. You can't reasonable people 665 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 18: like that. If I were king for a day, I'm not, 666 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 18: don't aspire to be. 667 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 5: I would. 668 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 18: I would use every legal mechanism I could do withhold 669 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 18: their money, because what they're doing, refusing to enforce federal 670 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 18: law and not changing it, they are just they think 671 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 18: they're smarter and more virtuous than the American people and 672 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 18: can pick and shoes among which of our laws they 673 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 18: think are just or just. 674 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 5: I would withhold their money. 675 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 18: Many of these people, many of these people think America 676 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 18: was wicked when it was founded and it's more wicked today. 677 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 18: I don't know, not all of them, but many of 678 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 18: them do that. They're they're they're they're they're king of 679 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,240 Speaker 18: the hill, top of the lists. 680 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 5: Crazy. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. 681 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 18: And I don't think anything we offer them will get 682 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 18: them to change their minds. Now, it's not all my, my, my, 683 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 18: my Democratic friends, but there's some of others are just 684 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 18: scared guys. The Karen wing of the Democratic Party wants 685 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 18: to defund ice, and the Karen wing of the Democratic 686 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 18: Party has told all all the elected officials who happen 687 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 18: to be Democrats that if they don't do their best 688 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 18: to defund ice, they the Karen wing will will punish 689 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 18: them the rest of their natural lives. 690 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 5: And they're scared. 691 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 6: I think you're right. 692 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 13: The radical left wing fringe of the Democrat Party or 693 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 13: the Progressive Coalition controls the party. And sometimes I wonder 694 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 13: about our own side. Senator, you know, we're talking about 695 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 13: this everybody wants to Save America Act pact that passed, 696 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 13: and it seems like I just we can't make any 697 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 13: progress on it, and this audience is frustrated by that. 698 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 6: I'm frustrated. 699 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 18: Well, I think you'll see some progress soon. I support 700 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 18: the Save Act. I'm a co sponsor. Here's what I 701 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 18: think we ought to do. I think I'm in the minority. 702 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 18: The short way home here is a reconciliation. If we 703 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 18: do recond do it the reconciliation. We only need fifty 704 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 18: one votes. Some of my colleagues say, Kennedy, you know 705 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 18: that's crazy. It'll never never pass muster under the Budget 706 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 18: Controlled Act, which is one of the parameters on your 707 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 18: ability to do something. 708 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 5: To reconciliation, is what I say. 709 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 18: Look, I've seen things pass muster under the under record 710 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 18: conciliation and what we call the bird Bath that I 711 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 18: never thought out a chance. And I've seen other things 712 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 18: that I thought were slam don't get turned down. Uh 713 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 18: if if if I were king for a day, I'm not, 714 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 18: but I would go hire the best legal minds I 715 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 18: could find for us to craft a provision around the 716 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 18: Save Act that would pass muster under the Budget Control 717 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 18: Act and and would survive a bird bath. And I 718 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 18: would take our shot. And I don't know why we 719 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 18: haven't done that. 720 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 5: We could have done it weeks ago. 721 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 18: I'm not criticizing anybody, but that's just the way I 722 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 18: would do it. 723 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 13: Senator John Kennedy, thank you so much, sir.

And 770 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 15: one thing we're all becoming much more aware of is 771 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,399 Speaker 15: the potential for our jury system to be a weak 772 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 15: point in making sure that criminals are held to account 773 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 15: for what they do. And so there was a piece 774 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 15: yesterday in the Washington Free Beacon. They do a lot 775 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 15: of great work about this fact that there is a 776 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 15: left wing group training activists on how to undermine the 777 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 15: jury system. And so we have the reporter who wrote that, 778 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 15: Pisa Thomas Kdanacci. 779 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 6: Are you there, Thomas, I'm here. 780 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 15: Hey, welcome to the program. So this group freedom Trainers, 781 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 15: why don't you just tell us what they're doing what 782 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 15: they're telling people, and what the ramifications of this would be. 783 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,399 Speaker 21: Absolutely well, I really appreciate you having me on, first 784 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 21: of all to talk about this because I think it's 785 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 21: such an important issue and it's certainly something that's going 786 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 21: under the radar. So also just at the forefront, I 787 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 21: want to say, this is something that I had to 788 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 21: do multiple double takes on because I couldn't believe when 789 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 21: I was coming across when I was researching this. Essentially 790 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 21: there's a group based in DC that it's focused on 791 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 21: DC right now, but it could clearly be something that 792 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 21: spreads across the country, and perhaps it has. But what 793 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 21: we see is they're working in DC to undermine Trump 794 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 21: DOJ prosecutions that are taking place in the DC Attorney's Office. 795 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 21: And so what the group does is essentially educate members 796 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 21: of the jury or themselves, try to infiltrate juries and 797 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 21: went on there. They vote quote in favor of their conscience, 798 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 21: not in favor of the law, and obviously this has 799 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 21: a number of ramifications. One thing I just want to 800 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 21: say also off the start is you know, the DJ 801 00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 21: itself is not early an agency that often comments on 802 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 21: things like this, but I thought it was very telling 803 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 21: that after we reached out, they did want to comment, 804 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 21: and they gave a pretty forceful response to our reporting here, 805 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 21: saying that they're aware and that they're you know, anyone 806 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 21: who engages in this type of activism should be held accountable. 807 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 15: Is there a way to hold them accountable? Because I 808 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 15: suppose what seems like a vulnerability here is, as they 809 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 15: point out, it basically is legal to do this to 810 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 15: decide you get on a jury and just decide I'm 811 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 15: not going to convict for any reason whatsoever. Now, as 812 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 15: your piece points out, judges and lawyers will attempt to 813 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 15: remove such people. But all their training materials here are 814 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 15: basically how to sneak onto a jury so that you 815 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 15: can rig the verdict correct exactly. 816 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,439 Speaker 21: And so one thing I will know is in their 817 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:55,720 Speaker 21: training materials and in their webinars which I attended, they 818 00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 21: say that there are sort of unambiguously legal maneuver that 819 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 21: you can take, such as you know, quote educating the 820 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 21: public in the way that they're doing, handing out flyers 821 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 21: near courthouses. That appears to be one of the main 822 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,240 Speaker 21: things they do. They camp outside of courthouses during jury 823 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 21: selection and try to give pamphlets to prospective jurors, and 824 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 21: those pamphlets which I also obtained, will have all sorts 825 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 21: of different uh you know, legal rationales to try to 826 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 21: help jurors, you know, vote again their conscience. But in 827 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 21: addition to the unambiguously legal that they say, there are 828 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 21: the quote legal but risky. This is where the duj 829 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 21: could potentially step in the legal but risky are things 830 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 21: like discussing this process with jurors before deliberations begin. Uh, 831 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 21: this is something that's almost certainly happening. But again, no 832 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 21: one's been caught doing this or publicly stating that you 833 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 21: intend to nullify. That's something that they again they say 834 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,919 Speaker 21: is legal but risky. I highly doubt that people who 835 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 21: want to forwar a DJ prosecution are going to just 836 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 21: come out and openly say it. But it's that first 837 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 21: point discussing nullification with jurors, especially in the process of 838 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 21: giving out one of these pamphlets and you know, quote educating, 839 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,760 Speaker 21: that could be a potential hurdle for them in the future. 840 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 9: You know. 841 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 13: What it just reminds me of is like you know, 842 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 13: those jurists on the uh, the on the jurors rather 843 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 13: on the O J Simpson trial that were just like 844 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 13: they some of them admitted afterwards that they they knew 845 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 13: he was guilty, but they just were it was a 846 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 13: get back for Robby King. 847 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 15: And it's there's a lot of other cases, if you know, 848 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 15: every prosecutor in a big city has seen it happen 849 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 15: where this and it's a vulnerability because you need the 850 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 15: Supreme Court actually confirmed in a case. Recently, you need 851 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,760 Speaker 15: unanimity of twelve jurors to convict in a criminal case, 852 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 15: and you only need one holdout of those twelve to 853 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 15: have a hung jury. And you know, it's difficult to 854 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 15: bring a trial, it's time consuming to do a trial. 855 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 15: You have to start over if there's a hung jury. 856 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 15: And that's what they're telling people in these materials. If 857 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 15: you only need to be that one holdout, and you 858 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 15: can just say I'm not going to convict, I'm not convinced, 859 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 15: I'm voting not guilty, and you can blow up the 860 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 15: whole case. And we were seeing this over and over 861 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 15: at the Grand Juries. They're not indicting cases the federal 862 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 15: government's bringing, but you only need one of these people. 863 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 15: In the Luigi Mangoni case, you might only need one 864 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,320 Speaker 15: of these people in the Tyler Robinson case. 865 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: And it's scary. 866 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 21: It's giving people the opportunity, people who might have been 867 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 21: activists before. It's giving them that sort of like quote 868 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 21: unquote legal backing to go ahead and thwart an entire prosecution, 869 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 21: regardless of the evidence, and regardless of the fact that 870 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 21: the system, the justice system in the US, which we 871 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 21: all love, is built on that idea of fairness, and 872 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 21: so if people try to undermine that, that could undermine 873 00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 21: the American public's confidence in the system itself. Also, just 874 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 21: give you a few examples. There was the case in 875 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 21: DC of the sandwich man who threw a subway sandwich 876 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 21: at a National Guard member and the grand jury failed 877 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 21: to indict. And this group and their webinars really seems 878 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 21: to suggest that this was a case of people who 879 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 21: were on the jury who didn't really care about the evidence. 880 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,359 Speaker 21: They go through this in detail, you know, asking the 881 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 21: participants of their webinars about, you know, if you were 882 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,240 Speaker 21: on the jury, what would your excuse be for voting 883 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 21: against indictment in this case, And they all kind of 884 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,919 Speaker 21: list their examples, and then you know, the trainer gets 885 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 21: up there and says, well, you can really give whatever 886 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 21: or no explanation for your vote. You can just simply 887 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 21: vote against if you agree with the guy who assaulted 888 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 21: the member of the National Guard. And so that's one example, 889 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 21: and I think that there's going to be multiple of these. 890 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,839 Speaker 13: They also cite the case, you know, Thomas hank Ty. 891 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,440 Speaker 13: Really quick, we gotta take a quick break. We're going 892 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,280 Speaker 13: to continue the stream and for podcast. Don't go anywhere. 893 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 13: We'll be right back. All right, welcome back. Sorry, Tom, 894 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 13: it's going me to cut you off. 895 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 6: We got a. 896 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 13: Show clock to navigate around. Sometimes continue with your thought though. 897 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 21: Yeah, So I wanted to point out a couple of 898 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 21: these examples just to kind of make the point that 899 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 21: this is something that's very real and it's happening before us. 900 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 21: You know, there was the case of six members of 901 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 21: Congress who you know, put out a video saying that 902 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:47,839 Speaker 21: members of the military should in many cases reject and 903 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 21: turn down orders from Trump himself. And those six members 904 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 21: of Congress were not indicted because a grand jury decided 905 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 21: that there was not an. 906 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,240 Speaker 6: Evidence in that case. 907 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 21: So there are these examples and they're happening, and you know, 908 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 21: my my personal fear when I see this stuff is 909 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 21: that you know, it will spread to you know, the 910 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 21: Tyler Robinson trial, it will spread to the Luigi Mangioni, 911 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 21: it will spread to a number of other trials. 912 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 10: You know. 913 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 21: I'm actually an energy reporter and one thing I've done 914 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 21: is report on climate cases in which you know, states 915 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 21: and cities accuse the biggest oil companies of causing climate change. 916 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 21: And these are cases where billions of dollars are at stake. 917 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 21: So if you get one, you know jury that with 918 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 21: a couple of people on there who are activists and 919 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 21: don't really care about the law, they could actually, with 920 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 21: their vote, you know, really damage the economy by destroying 921 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 21: the oil companies who are probably falsely being accused of 922 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 21: causing weather events, you know, like hurricanes. And so I 923 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 21: think there's there's really a large impact that this could 924 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 21: have moving forward. 925 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 13: I you got to give it to lefties. 926 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 15: They are so very organized in being very evil. 927 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 928 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 13: They they constantly open up new fronts in the assault 929 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 13: on Western civilization. 930 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 6: And I'll be frank, I. 931 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 15: Think I don't want to soft pedal this. This is 932 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,839 Speaker 15: one of the things that frightens me the most. I've 933 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 15: been thinking about it, you know, coming up for a 934 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,800 Speaker 15: long time that this is this is a weakness in 935 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 15: our system because it is in the constitution that you 936 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,280 Speaker 15: need a jury verdict to convict somebody of a crime. 937 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 15: It is something that's been around in the Anglo legal 938 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 15: system for a very long time. And if you have 939 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 15: you know, complete polarization a long political lines or along 940 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 15: racial lines, where you can't assemble twelve people to consistently 941 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 15: convict someone on any crime that has racial valance or 942 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 15: political valance, the country is going to fly apart. And 943 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 15: this has happened before in I believe Ireland under the 944 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,879 Speaker 15: British there would be terrorist attacks on British officials and 945 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 15: like juries would just not convict and so they basically 946 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,839 Speaker 15: had to revoke the right to a jury trial in 947 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 15: Ireland to make sure they could convict people of crimes. 948 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 6: In Britain. 949 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 15: Right now they're trying to revoke the right to a 950 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 15: jury trial for any crime with a sentence of under 951 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 15: three years. They're just the general decay of their system. 952 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 15: And so this is a judges we also have judged 953 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,319 Speaker 15: and yeah, we have judge problems. And this is a 954 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,760 Speaker 15: right that has been so integral to American civilization Western 955 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 15: Anglo civilization for so long and now we're seeing it 956 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,720 Speaker 15: being used to further tear it down. 957 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the left go back. I mean it's 958 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 13: probably dates back further than that. But you know, you 959 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,400 Speaker 13: see the rise of critical theory in the in the 960 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 13: law schools going back to the nineteen eighties. They've identified 961 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 13: our judicial system and our criminal justice system as a 962 00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,280 Speaker 13: point of weakness for a long time that they're looking 963 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 13: to exploit. You know, it makes you think of the 964 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,280 Speaker 13: John Adams quote. You know that the our founding documents 965 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 13: are only you know, good for moral and upright people, right, 966 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 13: they're wholly inadequate for any there any other. So it 967 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 13: makes you nervous when you see the degradation of our 968 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 13: people that then filter into the system that we need 969 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,839 Speaker 13: to function correctly. Final words here, we got to get 970 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 13: ready for our two here in Secretary Chris Wright, who's 971 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 13: coming up next. But the floor is yours to wrap 972 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 13: up this this this Yeah, I'll just. 973 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,720 Speaker 21: Think three quick points here at number one, this group 974 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:40,359 Speaker 21: Freedom Trainers is housed at a larger, pretty major nonprofit 975 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 21: called Community Change. Community Change is funded by kind of 976 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 21: all the usual suspects, Rockefellers, the Arabella Network, Open Society, 977 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 21: which is George Soros's network, and that Han Sure Wheeze's 978 00:54:55,120 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 21: network as well.

Secretary, 1148 01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,960 Speaker 13: you have a huge job right now, looking at Venezuela, 1149 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,960 Speaker 13: you're looking at Iran, you're looking at your product. 1150 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 6: You're making a lot of phone calls. So thank you 1151 01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 6: for making the time. Tell us. 1152 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 13: So, the price of Brent crude is at eighty three 1153 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 13: forty four right now? Uh, it's coming down? 1154 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 6: What's it? Why is it coming down? And what more 1155 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 6: can we do? 1156 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 5: Well? 1157 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 1: Andrew, thanks for having me. 1158 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 24: I appreciate you appreciate all your viewership. So, yeah, the 1159 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 24: straits of Hormuz that most of the Middle Eastern crude 1160 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 24: flows through, have been effectively closed since this conflict started. 1161 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,400 Speaker 1: That's what drove them up. 1162 01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 24: And of course the biggest answer here is to end 1163 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:44,040 Speaker 24: a rand's ability to attack the United States bases, terrorize 1164 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 24: their neighbors and threaten oil supplies. 1165 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 1: That they've been doing for forty seven years. 1166 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 24: So right now you know they are uncontrolled and they 1167 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,800 Speaker 24: they have so much armaments they're able to scare shipping 1168 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:57,680 Speaker 24: traffic off. 1169 01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,160 Speaker 1: But every day, every hour or. 1170 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:05,680 Speaker 24: We're degrading the Iranian nation's ability to terrorize their neighbors, 1171 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,880 Speaker 24: threaten energy supplies, and kill American soldiers. 1172 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,240 Speaker 1: This has been a forty seven year long conflict. 1173 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 24: They've always put a premium on raised energy prices higher 1174 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 24: than they should be because it ran always had the 1175 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 24: risk of this sort of wanton projection of their power 1176 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 24: over this critical waterway. 1177 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 1: And so why they've treated. 1178 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 24: In the short run is the United States, in consultation 1179 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 24: with a bunch of other nations that are part of 1180 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 24: the International Energy Agency, have agreed or in the process 1181 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 24: of working an agreement to release oil out of strategic 1182 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:50,080 Speaker 24: petroleum reserves to replace a fair amount of the lost 1183 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 24: crude oil coming out of the Strait, so that will 1184 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:56,040 Speaker 24: keep global oil markets supplied going forward. 1185 01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,040 Speaker 1: There are oil stores around the world. 1186 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 24: We do have surplus oil production capacity in the world, 1187 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 24: but a lot comes out of the Straight of Horn moves, 1188 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:10,240 Speaker 24: so the price and fear factor are raising prices because 1189 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 24: of the lack of flow of energy. But ultimately we 1190 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,960 Speaker 24: need to degrade Iran's military ability to do what they're 1191 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,120 Speaker 24: doing today and what they threatened to do and on 1192 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 24: and off done for forty seven years. 1193 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 13: So with the solution, I've heard different ideas floated out 1194 01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:33,560 Speaker 13: ensuring insurance for these tankers. I've seen potential military escorts. 1195 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 13: Are any steps being taken on either of those two fronts? 1196 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 1: Oh? 1197 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,800 Speaker 24: Absolutely that Those were the first steps we announced. I 1198 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 24: was saying the recent movement in oil prices was because 1199 01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 24: of the potential release coming. The first things we announced 1200 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 24: was the commercial insurance market for ships. 1201 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: You know, rates were. 1202 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 24: Going up and it wasn't clear if that market was 1203 01:06:56,320 --> 01:07:00,440 Speaker 24: really open. So we've offered to reinsure the insurance companies, 1204 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,760 Speaker 24: which will allow the insurance market to open back up. 1205 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 1: But tied together with that. 1206 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,480 Speaker 24: Is people will transit the straight when they believe the 1207 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 24: risk is relatively low, so it's physical security for the 1208 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 24: ship captains to go through. Now we've had a large 1209 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 24: oil tanker went through the straits forty eight hours ago. 1210 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 1: We have others that are interested to try. 1211 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 24: To do that, but you know that's not clear yet 1212 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:32,120 Speaker 24: whether we've degraded Iran's capacity to cause trouble enough to 1213 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,360 Speaker 24: make transit safe. One has gone through and it worked fine, 1214 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 24: but you know there's still risks there. 1215 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 1: Every day we're degrading them. 1216 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,520 Speaker 24: But when we degrade them enough that it seems like 1217 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,400 Speaker 24: a ship escort with the US military is enough to 1218 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 24: ensure safe. 1219 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 1: Travel, that'll be a great day. And I think that's 1220 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:51,800 Speaker 1: not too far away. 1221 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 24: But you know, somehow we need to get that energy 1222 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 24: flow into the world again. 1223 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 1: And of course the US has. 1224 01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 24: A lot of levers to pull and are act at a 1225 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,680 Speaker 24: work in this every day every day. 1226 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 13: So Secretary the you know, there's a whole piece to 1227 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 13: this where I think the average American consumer is a 1228 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 13: little uneducated about the price fluctuations. Right, So we've seen 1229 01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 13: the price at the pump go up, and I noticed 1230 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 13: that it was up even further today, even though the 1231 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 13: price of Brent has come down. Can you just educate 1232 01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,280 Speaker 13: us on the time delay, How does the pricing work, 1233 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 13: because you know, the left will always say that the 1234 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 13: oil companies are conspiring against and you know, using fear 1235 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 13: in the market to you know, price gouge us and 1236 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 13: make a bunch of extra profits. 1237 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:38,559 Speaker 6: What's really going on. 1238 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,080 Speaker 1: No, this is just markets. This is supply and demand. 1239 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,800 Speaker 24: You know, if you raise your gasoline prices up really 1240 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 24: fast before your cost and crude has gone up, your 1241 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,240 Speaker 24: neighbor next door is going to eat your lunch by 1242 01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,879 Speaker 24: keeping his prices a little bit lower than your prices. 1243 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 24: And gasoline is separate than crude oil. You know, the 1244 01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:03,360 Speaker 24: US exports, it's gasoline, we import gasoline. Gasoline is traded 1245 01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 24: all around the world. It's very tied to the price accruede. 1246 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:08,720 Speaker 1: But there are times. 1247 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 24: Where gasoline prices, you know, trade with different time lags 1248 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 24: and sometimes even different directions than crude price. In the 1249 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,599 Speaker 24: long run, they're very tied together, but they're separate markets. 1250 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,479 Speaker 24: And the market for diesel is separate, and the market 1251 01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,280 Speaker 24: for jet fuel is different as well. 1252 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 1: But Andrew, one key thing to think of here. 1253 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 24: We're going through a short term dislocation and we are 1254 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,920 Speaker 24: all feeling it. The President is keenly aware, I think, 1255 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 24: as everyone knows of gasoline prices and diesel prices and 1256 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 24: costs for American consumers, he is keenly aware. In fact, 1257 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 24: it may seem backwards right now, but this war is 1258 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 24: the large part because of the President's concern of energy 1259 01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 24: prices for American consumers over the long run. A Ran 1260 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 24: who has been a threat to oil supplies. Iran who's 1261 01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 24: driven the previous price price spikes in the late nineteen 1262 01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 24: seven that was Iran that led to that huge price 1263 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 24: bike and the gas lines and all that. 1264 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:05,719 Speaker 1: That was Iran. 1265 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,639 Speaker 24: The President seeing, boy, that same nation is arming itself 1266 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 24: massively with missiles so that they can make it so 1267 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 24: hard to attack them that no one will, so they 1268 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,439 Speaker 24: can finish building their nuclear weapons. Imagine a nation that's 1269 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 24: so trouble oriented to have nuclear weapons and a massive 1270 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:26,639 Speaker 24: weapons arsenal. 1271 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,240 Speaker 1: They could dictate to the world the price of energy. 1272 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,360 Speaker 24: And I think previous presidents were just kicking that can 1273 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 24: down the road. 1274 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 1: Well, it didn't blow up on my watch, and. 1275 01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 24: That's kind of a risky thing, and they've kicked it down. 1276 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,559 Speaker 24: They kicked that can down the road. 1277 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,160 Speaker 1: This president's bold. 1278 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,719 Speaker 24: He thinks about American consumers, and he thinks long term, 1279 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,759 Speaker 24: that is not a situation the US wants to go into. 1280 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 24: They're arming themselves so hard right now. In the negotiations, 1281 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:57,400 Speaker 24: they weren't indicating any willingness to not be massively armed 1282 01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,799 Speaker 24: and ultimate possessors of nuclear weapons. I think he rightly 1283 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 24: saw this window could close. This window could close. They 1284 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,760 Speaker 24: could rain hell on our soldiers and make it very 1285 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 24: hard for us to push back on them. And they 1286 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,680 Speaker 24: could dictate global energy prices, mister secretary, and that's not 1287 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:12,800 Speaker 24: tolerable to President Trump. 1288 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 6: Hang right there. 1289 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,519 Speaker 13: We're going to continue on with secretary right in just 1290 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,800 Speaker 13: one second.

Let's talk to geopolitics here. 1315 01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:35,920 Speaker 13: We saw what happened in Venezuela and that incredible military precision. 1316 01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,719 Speaker 13: We're all in awe of our military. But that opened 1317 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:43,160 Speaker 13: up a new supply with a cooperative country. Have you 1318 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,280 Speaker 13: seen the impacts of that yet? Are we still kind 1319 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 13: of ramping up there? 1320 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 24: Yeah, oil production is rising in Venezuela and we're thrilled 1321 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,680 Speaker 24: to see that so quickly, you know, but to meaningfully 1322 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 24: add the global supply, that's sort of six twelve, eighteen months. 1323 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 24: It's not many years we'll see hundreds of thousands of 1324 01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 24: barrels a day of additional production out of Venezuela before 1325 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 24: this year is over. Very excited about that, and of course, 1326 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 24: a huge reduction in drug running. It was just out 1327 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:13,679 Speaker 24: of some of the Americas, and they said the murder 1328 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:17,000 Speaker 24: rate has plummeted in Trinidad and Tobago because of the 1329 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 24: president's enforcement against running drugs on boats in the ocean 1330 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:22,680 Speaker 24: there north of Venezuela. 1331 01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,800 Speaker 1: So the great progress in Venezuela, great progress. 1332 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:27,800 Speaker 6: Well, that's great to hear. 1333 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 13: I mean, it seems like it could be the model 1334 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 13: in a place like Iran, potentially if we get a 1335 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,280 Speaker 13: leadership there that's also willing to cooperate. I'm skeptical that 1336 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,519 Speaker 13: we're there yet, but obviously that's the hope that this 1337 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 13: would be the last time we'd have to deal with 1338 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:46,479 Speaker 13: a bad actor that's sowing terrorism throughout the region. But 1339 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,679 Speaker 13: I mean, could you in theory not see regime change 1340 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,599 Speaker 13: and still get the ultimate result that we want, which 1341 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,120 Speaker 13: is an end to the conflict, an end to the 1342 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,000 Speaker 13: destruction and end to the violence, and the end of 1343 01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 13: the terrorism and then a cooperative potential partner in that region. 1344 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,599 Speaker 13: And Secretary, I'm so sorry we're running right up next 1345 01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,600 Speaker 13: to this break again with Real America's voice. Could I 1346 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,720 Speaker 13: keep you for just three more minutes on the other 1347 01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 13: side of this break, sir. 1348 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 1: You bet? Andrew, you bet Andrew, that is a possible outcome. Okay, 1349 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 1: here is a possible outcome. 1350 01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,080 Speaker 13: We're gonna take one more quick break here more with 1351 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 13: Secretary Right. 1352 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 6: Apologies for the back and forth. We'll be right back. 1353 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:37,880 Speaker 13: Secretary Chris Wright continues with us. Yeah, so let's talk 1354 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:41,639 Speaker 13: about potential positive outcomes in Iran if you don't see 1355 01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 13: regime change. 1356 01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 24: Yes, Look, of course this operation was not premised on 1357 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:52,000 Speaker 24: regime change. It was premised on they're building up such 1358 01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 24: such a daunting supply of missiles that is shielding a 1359 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:57,160 Speaker 24: nuclear program. 1360 01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:58,440 Speaker 1: That's just unacceptable. 1361 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 24: Whoever rules a RON cannot have an impenetrable mass of 1362 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:08,160 Speaker 24: missiles with a nuclear weapons stockpile behind that. So if 1363 01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,080 Speaker 24: we get a better regime, that would be great. But 1364 01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,599 Speaker 24: as you said, we might get remnants of the existing regime. 1365 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,160 Speaker 1: But they're so defanged in. 1366 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 24: Their ability to project power to support the terrorist proxy 1367 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 24: groups around the Middle East that they pivot their behavior. 1368 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,840 Speaker 24: How are they going to stay in power in their 1369 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:30,800 Speaker 24: country if they're poorer, if they're not as much of 1370 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 24: a military power, they better start to live in a 1371 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 24: little better lives for their people. So we have to 1372 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,600 Speaker 24: degrade their military capacity. That is the ultimate job of 1373 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:43,559 Speaker 24: this mission, but achieving that mission may have positive spinoff 1374 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 24: effects as well. 1375 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,840 Speaker 13: So we're told that China gets about seventeen percent of 1376 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,759 Speaker 13: its energy from Venezuela and Iran. Right they were getting 1377 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:57,040 Speaker 13: cut rate prices, black market sanctioned oil. What explain to 1378 01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,840 Speaker 13: the audience what this means from a energy standpoint for 1379 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:05,439 Speaker 13: the CCP and Jijiping. What are the felt impacts here 1380 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 13: and what are the long term impacts. 1381 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not good news for China. 1382 01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 24: Certainly, China has three discount oil suppliers, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia. 1383 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:23,080 Speaker 24: Venezuela is no longer a discount oil supplier to China. 1384 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,920 Speaker 24: In fact, most of Venezuela oil flies to the United 1385 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 24: States because it's cheaper to transport it here, and it 1386 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,200 Speaker 24: all sells at market prices, So it's no longer cheap 1387 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:32,320 Speaker 24: oil for China. 1388 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:33,760 Speaker 1: China's not happy about that. 1389 01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,840 Speaker 24: They've they've lost a client state in the Western Hemisphere, 1390 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 24: as has Russia and as has Iran. 1391 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:41,240 Speaker 1: So Venezuela is not. 1392 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 24: Just good for energy, it's good for geopolitics. So we're 1393 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 24: thrilled to We're thrilled with that development. I'm sure China 1394 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,639 Speaker 24: is very concerned about the same thing with Iran. They've 1395 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:54,320 Speaker 24: been getting very discounted Iranian crude. And at the end 1396 01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,080 Speaker 24: of this, again, we don't know who's going to be 1397 01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 24: leading Iran, but it will be a different Iran than 1398 01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:03,680 Speaker 24: going into this, and it Iran with massively shrunk and 1399 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:09,600 Speaker 24: military capabilities, massively shrunken ability to terrorize American soldiers in 1400 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,560 Speaker 24: the region, their neighbors. 1401 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,639 Speaker 1: And global oil supplies. So yeah, it's this. We're changing 1402 01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,800 Speaker 1: the calculus for China quite a bit with these two. 1403 01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:21,519 Speaker 24: Uh, with these these two changes in posture with these 1404 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:22,160 Speaker 24: two nations. 1405 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:26,240 Speaker 13: So yeah, and there was some some news made that 1406 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,800 Speaker 13: you know, we we kind of offered an all of 1407 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 13: branch a couple of days worth to Russia. Uh, what's 1408 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 13: the logic there of allowing them to more freely trade oil? 1409 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,000 Speaker 13: Is it just to bring prices down or is there 1410 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:41,120 Speaker 13: any concern there? 1411 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:43,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1412 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 24: No, and so definitely not in all of Branch to Russia. 1413 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 24: This was no change in policy towards Russia. Here's how 1414 01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,600 Speaker 24: China treats its discount oil suppliers. 1415 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,080 Speaker 1: You send your crewd to us. 1416 01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,240 Speaker 24: We'll unload it when we want, We'll let it stack 1417 01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,360 Speaker 24: up in conoys having to wait at sea for weeks 1418 01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 24: or months at a time, because. 1419 01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:05,720 Speaker 1: If we knew that, we'll get to buy it from me. 1420 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,760 Speaker 24: Even cheaper, because you'll be desperate. So there's a lot 1421 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 24: of just floating Russian oil. It's going to be unloaded 1422 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 24: at Chinese refineries maybe thirty or sixty days from now. 1423 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:18,400 Speaker 1: But yet we have Indian refineries. 1424 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:21,080 Speaker 24: The second biggest importer of oil in the world after 1425 01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,120 Speaker 24: China is India. So India is going to shut down 1426 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,960 Speaker 24: some of their refineries, slow their production of gasoline and diesel, 1427 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,040 Speaker 24: which they sell into the global market. That pushes up 1428 01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,759 Speaker 24: prices for gasoline diesel, even here in the United States. 1429 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,759 Speaker 24: So we said, hey, we're not changing our policy towards Russia, 1430 01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,920 Speaker 24: but for thirty days, go ahead and buy that Russian 1431 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:46,559 Speaker 24: crew that's floating offshore, Keep your refineries open, keep your 1432 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,280 Speaker 24: energy production up, and absorb that oil. So it's basically 1433 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,599 Speaker 24: trying to replace or bring forward some of these lost 1434 01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,559 Speaker 24: barrels that aren't coming out of the Straits. 1435 01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,320 Speaker 1: It is not a change in our policy towards Russia. 1436 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 24: There's a lot of floating iranium and crude off the 1437 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 24: oceans as well. 1438 01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,120 Speaker 1: Now, of course, we have no change in. 1439 01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 24: Policy for a run as well, but if for short 1440 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,679 Speaker 24: oil and we have pragmatic solutions to bring oil to market. 1441 01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:11,960 Speaker 1: You know, we're looking at all. 1442 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,800 Speaker 24: Of those things that's about protecting American consumers. 1443 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, well, that's that's very good insight. Thank you for that. Actually, 1444 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,600 Speaker 13: I think that's an important distinction. People need to understand 1445 01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:26,040 Speaker 13: that this has knock on effects for even allies like India. 1446 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,440 Speaker 6: Last question here, Secretary, I know your time is tight. 1447 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:35,679 Speaker 13: The next steps in this process. I mean, everybody's wondering 1448 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,000 Speaker 13: when this is going to end. I know you don't 1449 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,760 Speaker 13: have a crystal ball. When will energy prices come back down? 1450 01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 13: When will the price of gas come back down? What's 1451 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 13: your message to the American people? 1452 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:52,919 Speaker 24: To American people is, you know, God bless the American troops, 1453 01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:57,920 Speaker 24: God blessed President Trump's leadership. The military progress has been tremendous. 1454 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 24: We are massively degrading their ability. You're destroying their missile launchers, 1455 01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:07,879 Speaker 24: their missiles themselves, and their fabrication, their factories that build missiles, 1456 01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,120 Speaker 24: that build drones, that build all these weapons. We're just 1457 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 24: degrading their ability to reign terror on their own citizens, 1458 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:18,640 Speaker 24: on the American soldiers and on the nations. 1459 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:18,920 Speaker 1: In that region. 1460 01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 24: And at the end of this, we want to remove 1461 01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,719 Speaker 24: a RAN's ability not just to threaten the military destruction 1462 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 24: they've done, but also their ability to threaten the flow 1463 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,759 Speaker 24: of energy. Ultimately, President Trump is doing this to lower 1464 01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,520 Speaker 24: the long term cost of energy because. 1465 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:36,639 Speaker 1: The biggest threat to the flow of. 1466 01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,519 Speaker 24: Energy around the world is Iran, and Iran is going 1467 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:40,400 Speaker 24: to be defanged. 1468 01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:44,040 Speaker 1: So this is short term pain a long term gain. 1469 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:50,040 Speaker 13: Secretary Chris Right at the Department of Energy, you're you know, 1470 01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,599 Speaker 13: I just want people to understand, he runs the Department 1471 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 13: of Energy, but he has more energy than just about 1472 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,920 Speaker 13: anybody I've encountered in recent memory. 1473 01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 6: But besides maybe President Trump. 1474 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 13: You know, the President Trump might have more energy, but 1475 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,559 Speaker 13: you are.

The rest of the Arabs. 1612 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:20,919 Speaker 17: Are part of Islam, and there's no Syria, there's no Iraq. 1613 01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:28,360 Speaker 17: That's a European creation. But Iran is a nation. And 1614 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,720 Speaker 17: when Islam came to Iran, when they were conquered by 1615 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 17: the Arabs, they didn't switch their language, they didn't go 1616 01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,919 Speaker 17: over to the language of the Quran. They retained Persians, 1617 01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 17: so there was a kind of cultural resistance built on 1618 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:51,520 Speaker 17: a pride in their nation. That's extremely important for understanding them. 1619 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,920 Speaker 17: Now if you look at recent history in that part 1620 01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 17: of the world, I mean, look, they were a great 1621 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:02,240 Speaker 17: empire in the sixth century BC. It is Iran that 1622 01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:06,320 Speaker 17: was responsible for the Xerxes invasion of Greece. If you 1623 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 17: look at the recent history of Iran, it's not been 1624 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 17: entirely positive. 1625 01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:13,800 Speaker 5: It was a kind of plaything. 1626 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 17: In the nineteenth century the oil in the south, the 1627 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:25,880 Speaker 17: British exploited that very little to the money went to 1628 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:30,200 Speaker 17: the Iranian people. And one consequence of this is the 1629 01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:37,120 Speaker 17: Kijar dynasty was overthrown by a general who then became Shaw. 1630 01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,000 Speaker 17: And it's the Shaw's father, the father of the Shaw 1631 01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:45,599 Speaker 17: that we knew fifty years ago. The Pahlavi family took 1632 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:52,320 Speaker 17: over and his goal was to restore the Iranian nation, 1633 01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:59,360 Speaker 17: to restore Persia to its strength, and to do that 1634 01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,080 Speaker 17: he had to the Russians out they were threatening in 1635 01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 17: the north, and the English out of the south, and 1636 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:10,240 Speaker 17: he tried to play with the Germans during. 1637 01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:10,760 Speaker 5: World War II. 1638 01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 17: Was a way of getting rid of the English and 1639 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,760 Speaker 17: the Russians, and the English and Russians joined together and 1640 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:22,280 Speaker 17: booted him and put his sixteen year old son, the 1641 01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:27,439 Speaker 17: Shaw that we once knew in power. Now, these two people, 1642 01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:32,439 Speaker 17: the two Paula Vishaws, had a kind of goal for Iran. 1643 01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:38,519 Speaker 17: Their model was Mustapha Kemal of the Ottoman Empire and 1644 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:40,599 Speaker 17: then of Turkey, the man who came to be called 1645 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 17: at Turk. And what they wanted to do is to 1646 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,320 Speaker 17: bring Iran into the twentieth century. 1647 01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:52,559 Speaker 5: So they were major modernizers. At Turk. 1648 01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:57,240 Speaker 17: Succeeded in this, and he was able to succeed in 1649 01:30:57,280 --> 01:31:01,639 Speaker 17: this because after World War One, the allies that had 1650 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:05,040 Speaker 17: won that war, the British, the French, the Italians and 1651 01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:09,439 Speaker 17: so forth, the Greeks wanted to split up Anatolia among them, 1652 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,040 Speaker 17: and he was sent. He had been the hero of 1653 01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 17: the Battle of Gallipoli fighting against the British. 1654 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 5: He was sent by the Sultan. 1655 01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:24,560 Speaker 17: To disarm the population of Anatolia, and he did the opposite. 1656 01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:27,960 Speaker 17: He turned them into an army. He defeated the Greeks, 1657 01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:32,679 Speaker 17: drove them out, the Italians, the French, and the British 1658 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 17: withdrew and he created modern Turkey. So he was a hero, 1659 01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 17: and as a hero he was able to get away 1660 01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:42,360 Speaker 17: with a great deal. 1661 01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:46,000 Speaker 5: And what did he try to do well. 1662 01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:50,000 Speaker 17: He tried to push Islam into the private sector, to 1663 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:54,519 Speaker 17: create a secular state. He abolished the caliphate, which went 1664 01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:57,160 Speaker 17: all the way back to the time when Muhammad died. 1665 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:03,160 Speaker 17: When they set up radio stations right in the beginning. 1666 01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:06,240 Speaker 17: Half of the radio announcers in the nineteen twenties were women, 1667 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:09,479 Speaker 17: half of the men. Took a long time for Barbara 1668 01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,760 Speaker 17: Walters to become an announcer in the United States. Think 1669 01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:16,400 Speaker 17: of that difference. In nineteen fifty there were more women 1670 01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:21,599 Speaker 17: teaching at Turkish universities than in American universities, more women 1671 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:26,840 Speaker 17: chairing departments in universities than in American universities. 1672 01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:28,360 Speaker 5: Same thing was true for Egypt. 1673 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 17: So there was a kind of modernizing movement that swept 1674 01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:41,680 Speaker 17: the Islamic world Egypt as well as Iran. But the 1675 01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:45,639 Speaker 17: Pallavis weren't heroes. They didn't have the advantages he had, 1676 01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:50,800 Speaker 17: and they ran into trouble, both from the British and 1677 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:54,599 Speaker 17: the Russians, as I explained, but also from the Mullas, 1678 01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 17: who did not want Turkey to be dragged kicking his 1679 01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:00,000 Speaker 17: screaming into the twentieth cents. 1680 01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:00,639 Speaker 6: Iran. 1681 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:04,439 Speaker 5: Iran, Right, yeah, yeah, Iran, You're actually right. 1682 01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:12,400 Speaker 17: So what happens in the fifties and sixties is that 1683 01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:16,720 Speaker 17: the younger of the two Shaws achieved some success by 1684 01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:21,560 Speaker 17: using the Americans to get the British out, and arrangements 1685 01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 17: are worked out so that a great deal of the 1686 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:29,080 Speaker 17: proceeds from the oil that came from Iran ended up 1687 01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:30,200 Speaker 17: in the hands of the government. 1688 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:31,519 Speaker 5: What did they do. 1689 01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:39,800 Speaker 17: They built roads, they built schools, they built hospitals. They 1690 01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:45,720 Speaker 17: sent large numbers of Iranian students abroad to study. At 1691 01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,720 Speaker 17: the time of the Iranian Revolution in nineteen seventy nine, 1692 01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:53,599 Speaker 17: there were fifty thousand Iranian students study in the United States, 1693 01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:58,960 Speaker 17: and they were buying a great deal for Iran. There 1694 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:05,439 Speaker 17: were fifty Americans living in Tehran, mostly businessmen, selling them 1695 01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:11,320 Speaker 17: weapons and everything. You can imagine this attempt to get 1696 01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:15,599 Speaker 17: them rapidly. Moving into the twentieth century, upset people. 1697 01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:18,559 Speaker 5: A lot of the students who went to the. 1698 01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:23,040 Speaker 17: United States were radicalized and came back wanting to throw 1699 01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:27,160 Speaker 17: out the Shaw. A fair number of them were communists. 1700 01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:34,479 Speaker 17: Then there were the rural people who were devout and 1701 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 17: the Molas. One of the things that the younger Shaw 1702 01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:38,479 Speaker 17: did was. 1703 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:39,559 Speaker 5: Called the Green Revolution. 1704 01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:44,719 Speaker 17: He took land away from the great landowners, including the Molas, 1705 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:52,240 Speaker 17: and he distributed among the peasants of Iran. So what 1706 01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 17: builds up gradually is a kind of explosion. There are 1707 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:02,599 Speaker 17: two parties to the explosion. On the one hand, there's 1708 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:07,560 Speaker 17: the religious party led by the Ayatollah Homene who was 1709 01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:13,120 Speaker 17: a man of cunning, ruthlessness and eloquence. 1710 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,080 Speaker 5: On the other hand, there was a mass. 1711 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:20,880 Speaker 17: Of people with no particular direction and no particular leader, 1712 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:25,880 Speaker 17: the people from the leading families in Tehran, the younger people, 1713 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:28,040 Speaker 17: and the ones who. 1714 01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:29,559 Speaker 5: Had studied in the United States. 1715 01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:35,520 Speaker 17: The consequence is, when the crisis came in nineteen seventy nine, 1716 01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:42,400 Speaker 17: Homione managed to fool the urban population, this modernizing population, 1717 01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:47,960 Speaker 17: into thinking that they could live with him perfectly. Well, 1718 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:52,479 Speaker 17: the revolution takes place, the shot is pushed out. He 1719 01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:55,120 Speaker 17: was a dying man at that time, dying of cancer, 1720 01:35:56,760 --> 01:36:03,520 Speaker 17: and Homeni then edges out the urban population and establishes 1721 01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 17: something like a totalitarian regime. The other day, I gave 1722 01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:11,120 Speaker 17: a talk here at Hillsdale College on this, and I 1723 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:13,920 Speaker 17: woke up in the morning and I asked myself, I 1724 01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 17: wonder if there are commissars in the Revolutionary guard and 1725 01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:23,080 Speaker 17: in the Iranian Army, that is to say, political officers 1726 01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:25,559 Speaker 17: in Russia. 1727 01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,240 Speaker 5: This was the people from. 1728 01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:31,960 Speaker 17: The party who watched over the military guys, watched over 1729 01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:35,360 Speaker 17: all of the officers, and I went to Ai that 1730 01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:39,639 Speaker 17: source of great wisdom, and on this occasion it really 1731 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,840 Speaker 17: was a source of wisdom because it provided very good 1732 01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:46,280 Speaker 17: detail on this. And yes, there are commissars in the 1733 01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:51,880 Speaker 17: Iranian Army. So this is a regime of surveillance in 1734 01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:59,120 Speaker 17: which the Guardians are surveilled also by mullas who serve 1735 01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:02,000 Speaker 17: as political officer. They can arrest any one of the 1736 01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:06,479 Speaker 17: officers of the military officers. They can reverse any decision 1737 01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 17: that a military officer makes. 1738 01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:15,600 Speaker 5: This is quite a well disciplined, well organized regime. 1739 01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:16,240 Speaker 6: Doctor Ray. 1740 01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,280 Speaker 13: Yeah, this is why you had me wrapped, my attentions 1741 01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:23,599 Speaker 13: wrapped to This is very fascinating and really important.

I like to 1812 01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:22,439 Speaker 15: I've gone a couple times in the last week or 1813 01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:26,160 Speaker 15: so where we have one of the buildings here on 1814 01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:29,240 Speaker 15: the on the campus is just all of the male 1815 01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:33,320 Speaker 15: packages gifts, yeah, we've received or that people have left 1816 01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:36,800 Speaker 15: outside the campus, which we still encourage people to come. 1817 01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:39,519 Speaker 15: We still see people there. So if you're passing through Phoenix, 1818 01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 15: stop by, we'd love to see people make a visit. 1819 01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:47,360 Speaker 15: But I look at that, and you know, we still 1820 01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:49,960 Speaker 15: get the emails as well, you know, people talking about 1821 01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:53,000 Speaker 15: they started going to church because of Charlie, they kept 1822 01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:54,320 Speaker 15: going to church because of Charlie. 1823 01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:54,800 Speaker 6: Some of them. 1824 01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:57,120 Speaker 15: We even get ones where they say, I'm not really 1825 01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:59,160 Speaker 15: sure if I believe God exists, but I'm still going 1826 01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:01,920 Speaker 15: because Charlie's too.

And we've seen so 1828 01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:10,320 Speaker 15: many cases of that. And I think Charlie would even say, like, 1829 01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,479 Speaker 15: if you know, if it would help one other person 1830 01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:14,200 Speaker 15: come to Christ. 1831 01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:16,200 Speaker 6: You know my martyrdom, you know, it would be worth it. 1832 01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:18,320 Speaker 15: And we're not seeing it's not one person, it's it's 1833 01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:22,840 Speaker 15: hundreds thousands, you know, maybe around the world, Yeah, hundred millions. 1834 01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:25,000 Speaker 15: Because it is a true it truly did have a 1835 01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 15: global impact. 1836 01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 6: Uh. 1837 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:32,439 Speaker 15: And it's also true that because because of what happened 1838 01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:35,040 Speaker 15: to him, we never have to see we never have 1839 01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:36,519 Speaker 15: to see Charlie lose his fastball. 1840 01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:37,479 Speaker 6: We never have to see. 1841 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:42,080 Speaker 15: Charlie get old, become you know, become tired.
