I have to send you 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: some restaurant RECs. It was amazing. I thought the kids 10 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: were just unbelievable. 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: Yes, it's a it's a it's a smart group here, 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to it. 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 2: I took my sixteen year old daughter to see the 14 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: normally's favorite comedian, Nate Brigatzi last night. Yeah, super hilarious 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: and you know, very very clean humor, really really funny. 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: Kevin James did a surprise opening for him. There was 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: three openers. They added Kevin James at the last minute. 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: He basically told a joke and a half and we 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: laughed our faces off like it was. It was a 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: really quick Kevin James appearance, but it was so funny. 21 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's a that's a normy night, right there. 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: Kevin James and Napari so good. 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was like nothing that was questionable at all. 24 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: It was really great and she had a great time. 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: It was part of her sixteenth birthday present. And you 26 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: know what, we did not take the boys because that 27 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: we're allowed to do that. We didn't invite the boys. 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: It might be time to cancel you or IMPS for 29 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: that one. 30 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 2: Oh my god, we're play hockey again. 31 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: Well, the news is both weird and momentous this week. Yeah, Carol, 32 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean. 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: We you know, we knew it was coming and then 34 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: it came. 35 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. So there has been a US and Israel together 36 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: attack on Iran over several days now. And you know, 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: some have said in retrospect, perhaps the tell was that 38 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: the entire military was at the doorstep of Iran, But 39 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: it seems like the president for several weeks was weighing 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: different plans and trying to decide and wasn't sure if 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: they were going to go for it, and then they did, 42 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: and then they did. 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: It's called Operation Epic Fury. I saw some people mocking 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: this online as being like too childish and simplistic, Like 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: I love that, I love simple words describing things very 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: clearly we are epically furious. Yeah, and we're going to 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: launch an operation. 48 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: I mean, Desert Storm is one of the great monikers 49 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: of our time. There's nothing wrong with a boss operation name. 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: You got to have a cool operation name, right, right, 51 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: So that's what's happening. We, of course, this was, as 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: some members of Congress are noting, not authorized by Congress, 53 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: although some of them, it seems, were briefed in various 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: ways and various degrees at different times. Has not addressed 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: the American people about this yet, and I do think 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: that he needs to do that at some point. But 57 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: I am comfortable with the idea that presidents can do 58 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: strikes without totally telegraphing exactly what they're going to do 59 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: at any moment by even brief in Congress and then 60 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: having it leaked, which is a real risk when you're 61 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,559 Speaker 1: in these situations. 62 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I think Trump takes that risk extra, extra seriously. 63 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: So we attacked Iran, and we hit over a thousand 64 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: targets in just a few days. Israel and the US are, 65 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: like you said, coordinating on this, and Iran has launched 66 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: missile and drone attacks all across the Middle East. I'm 67 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: talking Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and a bunch of 68 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: other Gulf states in response to this, and it's crazy. 69 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: And you know, I tweeted the picture of the economists, 70 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: you know, like last year, saying they had an Israeli flag, 71 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: and it was like Israel alone, Like Israel's literally working 72 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: with the rest of the Middle East against Iran, and 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: no one is posting up Iran alone on their cover 74 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: because you know, the idea that Israel should be sort 75 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: of isolated is one that the left pushes. It's one 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: that people on the right sometimes buy into. It's one 77 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: that America largely rejects well. 78 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: And the groundwork for this sort of amazing alliance was 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: laid in Trump won with the Abraham Accords. But to 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: see Iran, you know, there are costs in any military operation, 81 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: and there are already four American troop members who we've 82 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: lost in this operation, so that it's a very serious undertaking. 83 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: And also the extent to which we are able to 84 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: very specifically target very specific things with success thereby by 85 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: the way sparing civilians in Iran to the greatest degree possible, 86 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: and the way that Iran's response over and over again, 87 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: by the way since Israel started taking out many of 88 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: the their capabilities many months and you're in these various operations. 89 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: Has been sort of like surprisingly sporadic and has led 90 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: to them hitting all these other countries, and the reaction 91 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: of those other countries has been to go, whoa, whoa, yeah, 92 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: now we're with these guys. And by the way, for 93 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: anybody watching, this should show why these guys cannot have 94 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: nukes because the IRGC, the Republican Guard there is like, 95 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: I think we should just hit the entire Middle East 96 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: now and all of our sometime friends, any one we 97 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: can reach. So it seems like a really good reason 98 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: to keep them from having. 99 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: Nukes absolutely, and that's such an important thing. Like I 100 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: keep seeing people, I mean, I saw somebody say like, 101 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: how come the US doesn't take on North Korea? And 102 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: it's because they have nukes or it's because they're on 103 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: their way, like they already have the weaponry that we 104 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 2: don't want them to have. Yes, And once you have 105 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: crazy people having that, it becomes a far larger risk. 106 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: I'm devastated that four Americans were killed in this operation. 107 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: Can you imagine how many would be killed if Iran 108 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: did have nukes? And it just we need to be serious. 109 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: And I have to say that again, is it surprising 110 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: to me that Donald Trump is the growing up in 111 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: the room. Yes, but he is the grown up in 112 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: the room. It's marvelous, you know, amazing to watch it, 113 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: and it's just a reality that I'm able to face, 114 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: and people who didn't always like Trump should be able 115 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: to face it as well. 116 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of this again, we don't have 117 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: the names of those troops, which we will give to 118 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: you guys when we have them, but I want to 119 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: be sensitive about that. The rationale for this is kind 120 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: of all over the map because it's Donald Trump, which 121 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: is why I think an address is warranted. And yet 122 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: most of the reasons I am down with, right at 123 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: least when it comes to a short op. When we 124 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: get to more in depth stuff. You know, we need 125 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: to think that through. But you have the threat that 126 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: they could become nuclear and critics say, oh, but didn't 127 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: we decimate or take, you know, completely ruin all of 128 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: their nuclear capabilities. Well, they did a good job. And 129 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: also they can rebuild, which. 130 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: Was alway the other things, Yeah, which was despertty. Iran 131 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: could build a dirty bomb, that's you know, a conversation 132 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: that I'm seeing. 133 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, there are many of people who 134 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: hang their hats on the JCPOA, which was the Obama 135 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: negotiated deal with Iran, but it's limits. Many of them 136 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: sunset it this year, right, so they pulling out of that, 137 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: and by the way, they violated it the entire night 138 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: it was enacted. And then also Obama just thought or 139 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: said he thought that if they gave money to the 140 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: Iranians and if they relaxed sanctions on the Iranians, that 141 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: all that money would just go to making things better 142 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: for the citizens of Iran. Because in an actual speech, 143 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: Obama's like, you know, even in a dictatorship, you can't 144 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: just ignore the concerns of yes, you can't. That's actually 145 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: really can Yeah, dictatorship's work. So all that money did 146 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: go to all these proxies who have been destroyed by 147 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Israel's incredible intelligence and military with some of our help. 148 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: And Obama's philosophy was just wrong. Giving them pellets of 149 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: cash is not ready to stop the badness, and perhaps 150 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: bombing is the way to stop the badness. 151 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And I look, the fact is that Donald 152 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: Trump is erratic. You don't know what he's going to do. 153 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: You don't know what he's going to say, you don't 154 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: know you know what the next step is going to be. 155 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: And that has worked very much in his favor. I 156 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: think that that has been just an amazing part of 157 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 2: the Donald Trump second term here where the bad guys 158 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: don't know what to expect. One day, Maduro's still the 159 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 2: leader of Venezuela, the next day he's not. And the 160 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: same thing here where on day one the US and 161 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: Israel took out Ayatola Kamani and so many of his 162 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: top people because and I love the way you worded 163 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: it in a tweet. You know, somebody's gonna get in 164 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: trouble if that meeting could have been an email me. 165 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: But how do they meet knowing that the entire US 166 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: military is poised and ready in the Middle East, Like, well, 167 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: how do you guys have a face to face meeting 168 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: and think that's going to be okay? 169 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: Well, and I think what American intel in Israeli intel, 170 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: by the way, just shout out to the Iranian people 171 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: for a coming and being dead. That is a that's 172 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: a huge thing in and of itself. And there was 173 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: celebration in the streets in Iran. But I think American 174 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: and an Israeli intelligence together have prevented the leaders of 175 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: these proxy groups and Iran from having electronic or in 176 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: person communication, like they can't do it, and they keep 177 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: getting knocked off every time they replace someone as the 178 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: head of Iran right now, which means that eventually, and 179 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: I think some of the weird nature of these strikes 180 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: from the IRGC is because they do not have a 181 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: command structure. Because the command structure keeps getting collapsed. 182 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: And that's amazing. It's also wild, it's crazy to think about. 183 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 2: Somebody else posted a picture of the George W. Bush 184 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: administration and said, you know, imagine telling these people that 185 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: the guy on the Apprentice would be the ones to 186 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: take out Iran. It's incredible. It's truly incredible. And then 187 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: somebody else noted that this is like everything Bill Crystal 188 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: has ever wanted in his entire life, and he can't 189 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: be happy because it's the guy he hates more than 190 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: anything else anybody else in the world delivering on the 191 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: things that he wants. 192 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: It's just I also want to note a couple other 193 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: rationales for doing this. One, of course, that Trump said 194 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: help is on the way to Iranians who put their 195 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: lives on the line and many of them died coming 196 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: out and protesting the regime. And I think beyond freedom 197 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: for the Iranian people, which has been mentioned but also 198 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: gets peoples, gets people nervous because it speaks to regime 199 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: change and boots on the ground and being involved for 200 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: a long periods of time. Even though freedom is mentioned, 201 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 1: I think Trump's probably more interested in his threat credibility. 202 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: And I think probably people were telling him if you 203 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: say helps on the way and then you don't deliver 204 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: in a very obvious way, you lose that with these 205 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: other bad guys, and I think that's something he wanted 206 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: to preserved. I should also mention, and I think it's 207 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: important to mention that the Iranian regime has been trying 208 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: to assassinate him for right not a small period of time. 209 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: And he even said I got him before they got me. 210 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: Him saying that I got them before they got me 211 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 2: is just It's a glorious moment. It's also going back 212 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: to something we've talked about. You could just do things. 213 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: You could just do things, and Donald Trump is like 214 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: watching me do those things. There also this great clip 215 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: circulating of Donald Trump in nineteen eighty talking about what 216 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: we need to do with Iran. And I know people 217 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: think that he ran on never attacking anybody, and you know, 218 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: sticking our head in our shell and never coming out. 219 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 2: But I didn't see that at all as a Donald 220 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 2: Trump campaign. I think people just imagine that. And so 221 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: let's roll that clip of Donald Trump nineteen eighty talking 222 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: about Iran. 223 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 3: When you get the respect of the other countries, and 224 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: the other countries tend to do a little bit as 225 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 3: you do, and you can create the right attitudes. The 226 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: Iranian situation is a case in point. That they hold 227 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: our hostages is just absolutely and totally ridiculous. That this 228 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: country sits back and allows a country such as Iran 229 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 3: to hold out hostages, to my way of thinking, is 230 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 3: a horror. And I don't think they do it with 231 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: other countries. I honestly don't think they'll do it with 232 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 3: other countries. 233 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: Basically, you're advocating that we should have gone in there 234 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: with troops, etc. And brought our boys out. 235 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 3: I absolutely feel that. Yes, I don't think there's any question, 236 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 3: and there's no question in my mind. I think right 237 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 3: now would be an oil rich nation, and I believe 238 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: that we should have done it, and I'm very disappointed 239 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: that we didn't do it. And I don't think anybody 240 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: would have held us in abeyance. I don't think anybody 241 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: would have been angry with us, And we had every 242 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 3: right to do it at the time. I think we've 243 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: lost the opportunity. 244 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 2: It's kind of an amazing clip, it really is. He 245 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: still talks like that. He looks just like Baron, I mean, 246 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 2: really looks like Baron there, and he's again I get 247 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: all the reasons people don't like Donald Trump, I really do, 248 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: but the fact is he's very frank and he's like, 249 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: we could have just taken their oil, you know, whereas 250 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: like George W. Bush went to war with Iraq and 251 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: everybody was like, you're doing this for oil, and then 252 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: we didn't take any of their oil. 253 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: We didn't. 254 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: He got criticized for that without actually doing it. 255 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 4: I know. 256 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: I think he's also just a He is a president 257 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: who is very interested in and very informed about how 258 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: he can wield American power. Yeah, and he's doing it 259 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: in a way that says basically like, oh, we're going 260 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: to lop the head off over and over again until 261 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: you act right. And if you act right. You might 262 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: not get bombed again, but you have to act right, 263 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: whether it's Venezuela or rum right. And I don't know 264 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: what that means at the top eventually, but it does 265 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: mean that you've preserved the threat, which means people may 266 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: act right, which is what he's attempting, without doing a 267 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: whole enduring campaign. 268 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: That's right, and I hope it's not an enduring campaign. 269 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: The question now becomes what comes next and how does 270 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: the US proceed from here. Of course, the question on 271 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: everybody's mind is how long are we going to be 272 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: in there? How involved are we going to be in 273 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: the region. And today Pete Hegseth was asked about American 274 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: boots on the ground, and I think he gave a 275 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: stellar answer. We'll talk about it after we roll this clip. 276 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: No, but we're not going to go into the exercise 277 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 4: of what we will or will not. I think it's 278 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 4: one of those fallacies for a long time that this 279 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 4: Department or presidents or others should tell the American people 280 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: and our enemies, by the way, here's exactly what we'll do. 281 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 4: Here's exactly how long we'll go, Here's exactly how far 282 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 4: we'll go. Here's what we're willing to do and not 283 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 4: do it's foolishness. And so President Trump ensures that our 284 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 4: enemies understand, will go as far as we need to 285 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: go to advanced American interest. But we're not dumb about it. 286 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: You don't have to roll two hundred thousand people in 287 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 4: there and stay for twenty years. 288 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that clip is being shared as Pete 289 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: hegg Seth won't rule out boots on the ground, and 290 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, he won't rule out anything. He will 291 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: never ask him the question about like will we shoot 292 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: at Iran with space lasers from Mars? And he'll be like, 293 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. Everything's on the table. It could be 294 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: anything right now. And that's a very Trump orientated answer, 295 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: where Trump is like, I'm not ruling out a single thing. 296 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: I'm not telling you what we're going to do. I'm 297 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: not telling you what we're not going to do. You're 298 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: going to have to roll with it and see what 299 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: happens and we'll take it from there. And that's Pete 300 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 2: hagg Seth giving a very Trumpian response of like, all 301 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: options are on the table. 302 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 303 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: That means he has not ruled out putting American boots 304 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: on the ground. I don't think that's going to happen, 305 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: but we'll see well. 306 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: And I think you're right, Carol, that the advertisement wasn't 307 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: complete disengagement and never striking anyone, right. I understood that 308 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: because I saw Trump one which included strategic strikes against 309 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: Soul Money, among others. I called it like occasional belicosity, 310 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Like Americans aren't mad if you hit something very hard 311 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: and it's effective and then we move on. Venezuela is 312 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: another example. The fodoh bombing runs with the B two 313 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: is another example. And people are very happy to see 314 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: American might for the most part, other than the people 315 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: who hate the West, but for the most part happy 316 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: to see American might displayed and for it to be 317 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: effective and for it to be competent, which it has 318 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: been on all of these operations. And I would also 319 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: add for anybody who knew anyone who was hurt during 320 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: those many years that made Americans war weary and a 321 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: global war on terror. I would also note that somebody 322 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: Patrick Fox, who's a VET, notes as a global war 323 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: on terror VET. It is difficult to fully explain to 324 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: younger folks the satisfaction I take in watching the Islamic 325 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: Republic be dismantled. The IERGYC armed and trained terrorists for decades, 326 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: specifically supplying and training those groups on the EFPs that 327 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: killed and maimed hundreds of my brothers and sisters in arms. 328 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 1: They deserve everything they get, and that is an element 329 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: of this that I think some if you're not paying attention, 330 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: will miss, like this was the head of the snake 331 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: that was supplying all these other things that hurt a 332 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: bunch of American troops actively on purpose, frequently for many, 333 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: many years. And if you can change that dynamic, it 334 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: can lead to a safer Middle East and world. 335 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely. But speaking of a safer world, we had at 336 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 2: least one home attack since the attack on Iran began, 337 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 2: possibly two. We don't know exactly what happened with the 338 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: second one quite yet, but the first one was in 339 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 2: Austin where an American citizen who was born in Senegal. 340 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: His name is Indaga Diagme. He was wearing a shirt 341 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: that referred to Allah. Underneath it he had an Iranian 342 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: shirt on. He killed three people in Austin at a 343 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: bar randomly, and it's looking like this was a retaliatory attack. 344 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 2: There was a second incident, which were not clear yet 345 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: if this was related to anything going on in the 346 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: Middle East or not. Stabbed several people on the I 347 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: four ninety five in Virginia with a curved dagger resembling 348 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 2: a meat cleaver, and we don't know what the situation 349 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: there is quite yet. 350 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that one. It was in northern Virginia. 351 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: It was like one of those situations where it was 352 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: in traffic. Could have been road rage, but I thought 353 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: a dagger seems weird, A stabling seems odd for that situation. 354 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: And at least one woman and her dog were killed 355 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: in this interaction, and the trooper shot the suspect dead, 356 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: so law enforcement intervened and probably saved some other lives. 357 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: There are other people who are being treated at this point, 358 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: I believe, But yeah, we don't know the motivations of 359 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: that one yet, but it sure sounds weird right. 360 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 2: Also, people like Meddi Hassan are quoting Scott Jennings saying 361 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: that terrorism stops now because of Trump's attack on Iran, 362 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: and Mehdi says, pretty sure he has just energized extremists 363 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 2: and given them an excuse to attack Americans. Every president 364 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: who starts wars in the Mid East, ends up becoming 365 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 2: a recruiting sergeant for terror groups, and that just sounds 366 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: like extortion. Do what we want, or we're going to 367 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: kill you here. And I don't know how Meddi Hassan 368 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: gets to have a role in American public life when 369 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: he says things like that, you're a par America and 370 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 2: that way you're rooting for attacks against America and against 371 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: Americans because the ideology is not going your way. I just, 372 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: at no point did I want Americans to die so 373 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: that Biden could see the error of his ways and 374 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: maybe close the border or something. I wasn't like rooting 375 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: for that to happen in order for Biden to do 376 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 2: my preferred policy. But people like medi are rooting for it, 377 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: and it's really sick. 378 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: Well, and he calls it, I think it called it 379 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: at one point understandable or predictable terrorist blowback, yeah attacks, 380 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: And I would just say it's weird that it wasn't 381 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: predictable or understandable that we would have terrorists blowback attacks 382 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: after like the Venezuela operation. Why is it different? Why 383 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: are we not worried about a bunch of Venezuelan Americans 384 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: coming and stabbing people or shooting people in bars like 385 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: That's it seems like you're telling on yourself a little bit, 386 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: and you are saying, yes, if you do what we 387 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: do want you to do, then you don't get hurt. 388 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump certainly will not be operating that way. 389 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really great point about Venezuela. That's exactly right. 390 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, we should note also that the 391 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: uh that the social media being once again flooded with 392 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: expressions of joy by Iranians and Iranian Americans, just like 393 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: that it was by Venezuela and Venezuelan Americans is very 394 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: helpful for the affluent white American left that can can 395 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: have these voices centered as opposed to their own feelings 396 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 1: for a moment, so that they can understand that in 397 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: many ways, people do see this as a liberation and 398 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: an opportunity for this country that has been under the 399 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: thumb of the exact people they say they hate, like 400 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: religious extremists who kill gay people and want women to 401 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: not drive. But you know whatever, Yeah, yeah, somehow you 402 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: ended up on that side, and you're telling the Iranians 403 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: to hush because Trump. I don't think that's a good idea, 404 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: but it is so nice to see people out in 405 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: the streets and so joyous. I walked nearby the big 406 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: demonstration in Georgetown the other night and people were just 407 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: screaming in the streets and you know, strangely no property 408 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: destruction involved with these particular types of events, and waiving 409 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: the real Iranian flag. So very nice to see, even 410 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: though as always we hold out to see what the 411 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: next days bring and what this means. 412 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: That's right, We're going to take a short break and 413 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: be right back on normally. We are back on normally 414 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: with our semi regular series on what are the Democrats 415 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: up to? Well, the guy running for Usenate from Maine, 416 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: Graham Platner, who had previously had a Nazi tattoo which 417 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: he had for decades but then he finally said he 418 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: was getting it removed, has now been found to have 419 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: an interview with an anti Semitic conspiracy theorist podcaster. I 420 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: saw this. It was actually a liberal who posted it 421 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 2: and I saw it. It's like Shaya Jane writes, an 422 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: accidental Nazi test to an accidental repost of an antisemitic account, 423 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: an accidental interview with an antisemitic conspiracy theorist. He was 424 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 2: accidentally a longtime fan of Have Fun I'm out, which 425 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 2: I'm proud of somebody who takes that route. That's what 426 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: I would do if I found out that somebody I 427 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: supported had a number of accidental Nazi leanings like that, 428 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 2: That's the correct path here. 429 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: It does seem weird. You would think somebody's anti Semitism 430 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: would just be only relegated to the permanent body art 431 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: they decided to have. And it's so strange that it 432 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: would leak out into your actual beliefs. I mean, this 433 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: is all not credible. He was actually asked about it 434 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: on a call in show by actual voters the other day, 435 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: and he's doing this thing like I didn't know what 436 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: it meant. And that's not true according to friends of 437 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: his who knew him at the time when he got 438 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: this tattoo, which he considered edgy for these reasons. But 439 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 1: he is running against in this primary, the established Democrat 440 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: governor of Maine, but he is leading her. And Ruben Gaye, 441 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: who is a young, sometimes interesting Democratic senator from Arizona, 442 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: considered a moderate, yes, considered a moderate, has endorsed this guy. 443 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: Despite the repeated illustrations of Nazi leanings not so great. 444 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: And I think some of this is like Ruben Diegos 445 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: is like a little bit more of a guy's guy, 446 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Like this is the masculinity that they're branding here, And 447 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: I would just say that maybe the masculinity on either 448 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: side should not be joined with these tendencies, which it 449 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: seems to be too often. 450 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you know, but going you know, we talk 451 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: about this a lot on here, but can you imagine 452 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: if a Republican accidentally got a Nazi tattoo and then 453 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 2: accidentally reposted something anti semitic and the accidentally was a 454 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: fan of an anti Semitic podcast that they then went on. 455 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 2: What would be the reaction. Would we be learning about 456 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: this from smaller Twitter accounts or would this be wall 457 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 2: to wall news? And the fact that Graham Platner being 458 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: a Nazi lover is sort of a side note in 459 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party because of their relationship with the mainstream 460 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: media is kind of wild. 461 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: The thing is, when our people go anti Semitic, they 462 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: start praising them to use them as a wedge to 463 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: split the rest of us. That's what happens, That's exactly right. 464 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: They get better press. Yes, that's right. 465 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 2: All right, what else are the Democrats up to? Bernie 466 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 2: Sanders is unveiling a new mega tax. You could picture 467 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: him saying that on America's billionaires. He says it would 468 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 2: raise four point four trillion. Sure, yeah, Rocanna is introducing 469 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: a House version of the bill. I mean, and I 470 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: know it's so funny. So again, it's so nice to 471 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: be a Democrat. The chief economics reporter for the Washington Post, 472 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: he posts about this, and he writes the money would 473 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: be directed to, and he gives me like a little 474 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: list of what the fictional four point fourtullion would be 475 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: directed to. Three thousand dollars stimulus checks per person, expand 476 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: medicare to include dental vision and hearing for all seniors. 477 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: And sure every public school teacher gets paid at least 478 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: sixty thousand a year, eight hundred and fifty billion for 479 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: affordable home construction. This, this list is like what my 480 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 2: four year old would write and is like, you know, 481 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: imaginary journal of what he wants for Christmas. I mean, 482 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: this is like nonsense. This is such nonsense. 483 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: It's just like a ron spend all that cash on 484 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: making lives of its citizens better. We don't believe you, guys, 485 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: insane things to say. This is an imaginary world you're 486 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: living in. And also four point four jillian ain't gonna 487 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: cut it, guys, it ain't gonna cut it. 488 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 2: That's like even that's a that's yes, you're absolutely right, 489 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 2: four point four jillion is not going to cut it. 490 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: But they're also never going to get four point fourtullion 491 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: that billionaires are not going to sit around being like, please, 492 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: idiot people in Congress, take my money, I want you 493 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 2: to spend it for me. I mean that. In California 494 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: because of Rokana support for proposal there, it's literally happening 495 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 2: where liberal billionaires. Billionaires on the left are leaving. These 496 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: are not right wing billionaires. All the right wing billionaires 497 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 2: will be out, you know, before this is anywhere near. 498 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: But the ones on the left are also leaving. They've 499 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: all bolted, so they're all living in Florida and they 500 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 2: better be voting right. 501 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: The thing that's always again, they don't understand incentives or 502 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 1: how actual economics. 503 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: They don't. 504 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: If they did, they wouldn't be pitching this. But smart 505 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: brave people don't have to do smart risk taking work. 506 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: They could do much easier work, and once they're billionaires. 507 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: They can just not work, and then you lose what 508 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: they would have created if you hadn't turned them into 509 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: non workers by stealing all of their money. Like just 510 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: I know they don't understand where it comes from, because 511 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: Bernie was asked by a constituent where wealth comes from, 512 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: and he doesn't know. I should also note that a 513 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: Senator Mark Way Mullen of Oklahoma went after Bernie on 514 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: the hill last week and it was fantastic, and he 515 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: said because he shaded him a little bit. Bernie did 516 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: after he had done a little ramp about healthcare and help. 517 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: Obamacare hadn't fixed anything, and Bernie shades him, and Mark 518 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: Queen Mullen is like, you're the system. You've been here 519 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: longer than I've been alive. You haven't fixed anything. 520 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: It's amazing. 521 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: And Bernie's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, had no come back 522 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: for that's. 523 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: True, it's true. Yeah, Oh, it's just yeah. It's unbelievable. 524 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 2: And we're heading into this just Democrats becoming full on 525 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 2: socialist moment. I think that the next presidential election is 526 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 2: gonna be very illuminating the same way that they raised 527 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 2: their hands for just ridiculous things. The last time around, 528 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 2: whether or not the last time they raised their hands 529 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: for things like should anybody be able to get free 530 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: healthcare in America? And it literally could have meant anybody 531 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 2: in the whole wide world comes to America and get 532 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 2: free health care, and all of them raise their hands. 533 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 2: And so we're going to have situations like that where 534 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 2: they're raising their hands during these debates for just ridiculous 535 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: stuff like do you think we should seize the wealth 536 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: of all the billionaires? And they're going to largely raise 537 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: their hands because they need to get through the Democratic primary, 538 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 2: and then the American people are going to have to 539 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: decide whether these crazy people should be elected president in 540 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: the general despite what they said in the primary when 541 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 2: they inevitably try to walk it back. 542 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me not one more crazy Democrat thing. In 543 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: northern Virginia once again, there was a stabbing murder of 544 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: a woman at a bus stop last week. The perpetrator 545 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: of this, it turns out, is an illegal immigrant with 546 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: thirty prior arrests and many of them extremely violent, including 547 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: but not limited to, forcible rape and malicious wounding, which 548 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 1: is another attempt to murder someone. And our Soros funded 549 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: prosecutor doesn't prosecute crime. So this man has been on 550 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: the loose and are Soros funded prosecutor and the area 551 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: does not turn people into ice. So he's been allowed 552 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: to stay here for fifteen years harding these crimes. And 553 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: this was the end result. I wonder if he'll go 554 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: home now we'll be punished. 555 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: Still unclear, right and clear? All right, We're going to 556 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 2: take a sharp break and come back with group chat insanity, 557 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 2: not ours, not ours, other people's will be right back. 558 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: We are back on normally with a story about people 559 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: we will never be friends with, Carol. This is the 560 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: story about how I politics. How politics came for a 561 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: parenting group chat in Petworth in Washington, d C. Which 562 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: is a very blue area, gentrified, exactly what you're imagining 563 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: for parents in a an urban area having a group 564 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: chat that goes political. So what happens is after October seventh, 565 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: and during the Gaza War, people in this group chat, 566 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: which had formerly just been like it started as fifteen 567 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: moms with newborns just chatting about things they needed, and 568 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: then it became very popular, so of course they made 569 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: it into a whole nonprofit with a board, and it 570 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: got very big and during the Gaza War, A bunch 571 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: of people were like, hey, hey, though, where does Petworth 572 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: Peanuts stand on the Israel Palestine conflict? And the group 573 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: leadership is like, actually, we should probably not do that, 574 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: which is the correct decision, right Everyone in this very 575 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: lib group starts or not everyone, but many of them 576 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: get so angry that they're not politicizing the group that 577 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: they split off into a rival group, which they originally 578 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: called free range. And I'm offended because that's my brain. 579 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 2: I thought that was yeah. I thought free range would 580 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: be like the parents who let their kids have a 581 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: little freedom has nothing. 582 00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: You don't want anyone to have freedom. Actually, some of 583 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: the contributions during this fight are so hilarious, but like 584 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: a couple of them here from the reporter are not surprising. 585 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: This chat has gone the same way, same path as 586 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: the country. Stop with the lies. You're acting like the children. 587 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: Will you come here to learn how to handle If 588 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: this is not a parenting community but an escape a 589 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: mirage of what parenting is, then I very sadly can 590 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: no longer be a part of this group all because 591 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: it won't overtly engage in politics. And by the way, 592 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: training for activism that's what these parents wanted this formerly 593 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: neutral parenting group to be. And it's miserable. It's miserable. 594 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. It's the thing is that these people need politics 595 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 2: to be a part of every single thing they do. 596 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: They do. 597 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 2: You know when AOC once said no going back to brunch, 598 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: what that meant was, you're not allowed to do anything 599 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 2: anything without having it be a political action, without having 600 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: a political point correct. So exhausting, it's so tiring. We 601 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 2: would never stand for that. Imagine the conservative world is like, 602 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 2: there's no going back to brunch. We have to just 603 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: constantly be on guard and non alert and talking about 604 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: this all the time. We'd be like, bro, stop it, 605 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: we're going to brunch. We're going to waffle house. Actually. 606 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. To give you a taste another flavor of this. 607 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: This is the letter from the objectors to Petworth Peanuts. 608 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: We write as concerned members of Petworth Peanuts community, parents, caregivers, 609 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: and neighbors who are deeply invested in safety, inclusion and solidarity. 610 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: It requested a town hall for open dialogue about justice issues. 611 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 2: This is a parent group. 612 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: They said, the political moment requires acknowledging that silence is 613 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: not neutral in moments of crisis. Silence is citing with power. 614 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: I they're coming for everything, and they have since twenty twenty, 615 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: and they want every part of your life to be 616 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty again all the time. The leaders of this group, 617 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: who certainly are not right leaning, they just wanted a 618 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: parent's group. They eventually did the right thing and said, 619 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: if you want to do this, you need to go elsewhere, 620 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: and they rebooted the group chat and started to knew 621 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: WhatsApp And you know what, it's been non toxic and 622 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: pleasant ever since because if you put your foot down 623 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: with these people, they won't ruin things like USA hockey 624 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: and parent groups where you just want to do things 625 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: that are needed in your life. 626 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to fight them. Is the reality of it. 627 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 2: And what we saw in the years after twenty twenty, 628 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 2: I think that a lot of people learned very valuable 629 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 2: lessons where if you give them an inch, they'll take 630 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 2: the whole mile. I saw it happen on my super 631 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: far left neighborhood groups back in Brooklyn, where you were 632 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 2: not allowed. You know, the liberals were the ones targeted 633 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 2: the most. Again, nobody cares what conservatives think or what 634 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 2: we do or whatever, or non entities to them. But 635 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 2: it's the liberals who are targeted by the leftists who 636 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 2: are like, you're not doing enough, you're not far, you're 637 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 2: not with us, and the liberals like, no, no, I'm 638 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 2: with you. But then once you give them a little 639 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 2: bit of that no, no, I'm with you, it's over 640 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 2: for you. 641 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: It's And this is what was good about the USA 642 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: hockey thing, by the way, that none of those guys 643 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: really gave an inch. And then by the way on 644 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: SNL they had both the women and the men out 645 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: and did a good nature joke about the whole thing. 646 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: And it turns out that like people who are emotionally 647 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: well regulated can just enjoy life and not make a 648 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: huge deal out of everything. I do think at the 649 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: end of this what you learn from this parenting group 650 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: crack up is that even in a liberal group and 651 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: Petworth in Washington, d C. There are there is a 652 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: silent majority that just wants to enjoy the thing that 653 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: you've created and doesn't like these people ruining it. But 654 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: someone has to stand up and be the bad guy, 655 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: and the leader of. 656 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 2: Never was Yeah, yeah right, you got to stand up 657 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 2: to him.
