WEBVTT - Senator Tom Cotton - January 17th, Hour 3 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:04.600 Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.640 Right News round Up and information overload. Our toll free 0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.120 Our number is eight hundred and nine foot one Shaw 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:11.680 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.680 So Joe Biden is asked this week whether or not 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.040 he deserves the credit for this deal, for a ceasefire 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:27.760 and this prisoner swap, which is unbelievably lopsided, which we 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.159 have discussed in great specificity, in detail, which frustrates the 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:36.560 living daylights out of me. And there's no doubt even 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.200 the Prime Minister or Cutter, I'm not the biggest fan 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.320 of anybody in Cutter because remember they were housing in 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.960 their luxury hotels a lot of Hamasa's leadership right after 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.800 October the seventh. But more importantly, you know, this might 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.960 be the only opportunity we have to get whatever remaining 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.480 hostages or alive out. I want to see that happen. 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.360 Then I want to see uh Gaza and that would include, 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.800 by the way, Lebanon, that would include the Huti rebels 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.240 all neutralized, demilitarized, and that would mean taking on the 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:12.960 head of the snake. And the head of the snake. 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.400 Is I wrong? But this is Joe By is this 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:20.600 a joke? A joke? He did nothing. It was the 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.040 It was the real threat of Donald Trump coming into office, 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.240 very similar to when Reagan was coming into office and 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:32.319 Iran releasing upon the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, four hundred 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.880 American hostages held four hundred and forty four days, almost 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.880 the same amount of time that these hostages is. Rarely 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.760 American and other have been held as well. Anyway, here's 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.520 what here's what President Trump said. If it's not, if 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:52.880 it doesn't happen before inauguration day, Judge welk, do I. 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:53.720 Have to define it for you? 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.440 He will break that draft if those hostages aren't back. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.640 I don't want to hurt your negotiation. If they're not 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.559 back by the time I get into office, all hell 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.680 will break out in the Middle East, and it will 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.320 not be good for AMAS, and it will not be good, 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.959 frankly for anyone. All hell will break out. I don't 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.560 have to say anymore, but that's what it is. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.359 And they should have given him back along time. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:16.480 They should have never taken him. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.120 They should have never. 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.560 Been the attack of October seventh. People forget that. 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.239 Thank you for that. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:23.720 To surprise date you or child. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.120 Is that a joke? Oh, thank you? 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.600 Is that a joke. No, it's just a fact that 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.120 if not for Donald Trump, there would be no chance 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.120 of getting any of these hostages back. Then, of course 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.519 you have Joe Biden doesn't mention when when Donald Trump 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.840 said all hell will break loose, there was somebody standing 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.200 next to him. I know that person. His name is 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.720 Steve Whitcough. Steve Woodcoff is the President's Special envoys to 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.160 the Middle East. He has been doing shuttle diplomacy on 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.760 his own dime in the hopes of conveying the message 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.320 that all hell will break out in the Middle East 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.000 if these hostages are not are not released. Now, we 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.960 had Caroline Glick on yesterday. She feels a little bit 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.520 of too much pressure has been put on Israel, and 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.359 I think she has a valid point. But that's who 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.160 he was talking about. And then Biden, you know, doesn't 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:23.080 mention any of this while discussing the ceasefire talks. In 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.160 this exit interview he did with you know, of all people, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.320 Lawrence O'Donnell, good grief, listen. 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:33.000 I kept in minding my friend and is a friend. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.960 Although you don't agree a whole lot lately bb Nenyao 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:42.600 that he has to find a way to accommodate the 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.360 legitimate concerns of a large group of people called Palestinians 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.360 who have no place to live independently. And so how 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.240 did you how do you deal with those things? 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.480 So I did really put together. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.160 If it doesn't work, I gotta take good Bland for 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.160 it with my national security team. But I believe that 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:09.680 we could make it attractive to the Arab world as 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.760 well as to the Jewish community to accommodate the kind 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.240 of change. Isn't this get the prisoners released, go to 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.280 cease fire, move in a direction where we agreed how 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.760 this was going to work, and how Israel's trips are 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.839 going to move, how we're going to bring in rebuilding 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.919 the Gaza strip and the economy, how are you going 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:29.880 to clean all this up? 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.159 How we're going to protect Israel? 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.400 Are pretty unbelievable. Anyway. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas is 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.080 with us, and like me, deep in my heart, I'm 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:43.640 very conflicted, and this should be an unconditional surrender. They 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:48.440 are the evil radical Islamic terrorists that in an unprovoked way, 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.920 you know, murdered the equivalent of forty thousand Americans in 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.960 a day. They tortured people, beheaded people, and they took 0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.320 these people, innocent people hostage. They were raping women as well. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.000 All things we know took place. And like you, Senator, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:09.279 I don't love a lot of aspects of this deal. However, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.280 I'm not going to be so critical of Israel in 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.920 the US, you know, putting such a high value on 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.760 life that they want to get them out as long 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.120 as in the back of their minds they know that 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.800 Gaza's day of being a militarized zone are over, period 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.280 and the sentence, whether they say it or don't. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.040 Say it, well, Shaw and I agree with you. It's 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.040 not my preference to ever negotiate with terrorists. We didn't 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.760 negotiate with Japan after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We said unconditional 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.400 surrender and release our forty thousand prisoners, and that's exactly 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.479 what they did. The reason we've reached this sad point though, 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:55.839 where Israel and America hopes to get thirty three hotsages 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.240 out in the next six weeks, most of them, we 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.359 hope will be a lot at the cost of one 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.200 hundreds of thousands of pardons and convicted Palestinian Terras is 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.000 Joe Biden's weakness and failure from the very beginning. If 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.120 President Biden had simply backed Israel to the hilt on 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.400 October seventh, twenty twenty three and after, this war would 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.000 have been over much earlier. These hostages would have been 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.240 released earlier, fewer of them would have died or been 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.160 tortured or raped in captivity, and Israel would be in 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.520 a much stronger position. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:30.600 Now. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:35.719 All that said, I understand why Israel chose to conclude 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.520 this deal at this point, and it is better than 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.960 what President Biden was urging on Israel last summer, which 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.320 were required Israel to for instance, give up the buffer 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.800 zone on the border with Egypt Sokamas could potentially be 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.880 resupplied as well as declared that the fighting was over, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.839 but as Prime Minister at Yahoo, President Trump, Marco Rubio, 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.560 Pete Hegseth, and Michae Wilsavald made clear, the fight is 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.240 not over. The fighting will be over when Hamas is 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:05.599 totally destroyed. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.360 Do you have any doubt because I do not now. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:15.200 According to my sources, according to reports, the consensus seems 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.840 to be that the Iranians are three, four or five 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.680 six months away from having the capability of building out 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.080 a nuclear weapon. So that means we have a very 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.760 short window in which Israel, the United States, and maybe 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.360 other countries will have to make a very tough decision, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.840 but one that they better make, and that is to 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:42.880 take out those nuclear facilities before the Iranians get them, 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:48.280 because I do believe with these radical Islamic terrorists, the 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:52.040 number one state sponsor of terror, if they had nuclear weapons, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.440 I believe they will use them. That would mean a 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.360 modern day holocaust. That means, in my mind, I'd be 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:04.120 taking out Iran's refineries and I'd be taking out their 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.120 nuclear sites, and I would not hesitate in doing so. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:08.040 Am I wrong? 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.320 No, Sean, I don't think you're on. I've seen the 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.040 same report to say Iran could be just a few 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.960 months away from having a bible nuclear device, not just 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.280 in terms of the highly enriched uranium that forms the 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.840 explosive core of a nuclear weapon, but also the technical 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.760 weapon designs as well that can be mounted on a 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:33.120 missile and delivered effectively. Obviously, at Israel, I will observe 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:38.240 Sean that we have an almost perfect record when it 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.559 comes to Iran's nuclear and other weapons programs. We have 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:47.280 never gotten it right. We have almost always underestimated their timelines, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:52.640 I should say, overestimated their timeline and missed critical weapons facilities. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.400 So I think we should assume that they're even closer 0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:00.920 than is widely perceived. However, they are also more exposed 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.720 and at greater risk than they have been perhaps at 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.200 any time since the end of the Iran Iraq War 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.839 in the nineteen eighties, thanks to benjaminet Yahoo and the 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.559 brave men and women of the Israeli forces, and the 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.800 refusal to take Joe Biden's consistently bad advice. Another reason 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.640 Israel took this deal now is because they're in a 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.520 much stronger position than they were six months ago. The 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.840 heads of effectively every terrorist proxy of Iran have been 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:33.719 targeted and killed, like yah Yah Sinmar in Gaza and 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.800 Hassan Mezrala of Hesbela in Lebanine Lebanon's missile forces, which 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:39.160 is awesome. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.920 They actually got the top six guys out of Hamas, 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.920 and they got the top guy inside of Iran, which 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.280 is even more spectacular. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.120 And Sean and Hesbla. I'm the chairman of the Indelgence Committee. 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.400 I don't even know who's in charge of Hezbola these days. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.920 It must be someone who wasn't important enough to have 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.719 a pager up through last September, though, So it just 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.960 goes to show how remarkable or israel success has been 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.280 on the battlefield. They've largely destroyed Hesulo's ability to threaten 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.920 their people with rockets and missiles, and most notably, after 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:16.440 two Iranian stocks on Israel, Israel has effectively destroyed Iran's 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.720 Aaron Mitchel defense system, so Iran is totally exposed. Israel 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.800 seems to have made the decision to finally settle all 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.120 the family business. We need to back them to the hilt. 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.080 That's exactly what we should have done since October seventh. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.680 That's what I think President Trump will do starting Monday. 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.559 Well, I tend to agree with everything regardless of what 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.000 this deal is, and maybe I'm wrong in my thinking, 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.800 but I think I know Donald Trump pretty well, and 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.000 I've known him for thirty years, and I don't think 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:52.040 Donald Trump if the hostages are released and he is 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.520 presented with information that the real existential threat to the 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:01.199 world is a nuclear armed Iran and the Israelis have 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.000 already proven they can penetrate deeply into Iranian territory. They 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.720 did that in April after the first missile attack directly 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.199 from Iran. But if you want to stop all of 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.200 the proxy wars that they're funding and that they're operating, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.520 the only way to do it is to take out 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.440 their refineries. That cuts off their ability to make money, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.040 and number two, to take away any possibility of a 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.520 nuclear weapon in the future. It really is no other option. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.680 Do you do you agree that this has to happen 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.160 probably within the next year the latest. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.880 I think maybe even sooner than that, Sean. And again, 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.160 it doesn't have to be an American operation or certainly 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.160 an American led operation. Israel has the capability to do so, 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.520 as they proved last year and they destroyed all of 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.880 Auran's air and missile defenses. What they certainly will need, though, 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.400 is American support, not just military and intelligence support, but 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.240 diplomatic and political support, unlike what's been the case the 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.880 last four years, where every point America has put pressure 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.240 on Israel and tried to restrain Israel. But as we 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.520 already said, Roan is that its weakest point in maybe 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.520 thirty five years, and this is a chance not just 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.640 for Israel's sake, but for the sake of our interest 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.200 in the region and world peace, to deal a final 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.360 blow to run nuclear weapons program and much of its 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.440 military and as you point out, much of its economic 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.839 basis through which it funds terrorism through its oil and 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.120 refinery capabilities. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.839 Yeah, you and I are definitely on the same page. 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.679 I don't love this deal, However, for the sake of 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.679 the families, I am not going to sit here as 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.520 a outside quarterback and criticize them. All right, quick break 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.600 right back more with Senator Tom Cotton on the other 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.280 side of eight one hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.920 our number as we continue this Friday. All right, we 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.920 continue now. Senator Tom Cotton, Arkansas is with us. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:51.679 Now. 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.400 I think one of the biggest challenges is going to 0:12:54.520 --> 0:13:00.000 be getting Donald Trump's agenda through Congress with slim majority 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.719 parties in the House and Senate. Are you confident that 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.319 his agenda will get through? Yes, Sean, And by the way, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:07.839 that would include his cabinet picks. 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.160 Yes, Jean. I think the vast majority, if not all, 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.360 of those picks will get through the US Senate. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:14.520 Sean. 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.679 Just to take your listeners on a brief trip down 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.800 memory lane, that's Bill Clinton's transition. There have been seventy 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:25.240 two nominees for the cabinet secretaries in a transition. Only 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.839 two of those sean only two have ever received a 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.040 single no vote from a senator of the president of 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:36.200 elects own party, much less enough no votes to tank 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.480 their nomination. So no one should be surprised no matter 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.120 what the liberal media says, that Republican senators buy and 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.240 large will vote for a Republican president electx noviies. Once 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.920 we have done that, that takes us on through the 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.640 broader agenda, some of which President Trump can do in 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.199 the early days of the administration next week the executive action, 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.520 but much of which will require Congressional action. And though 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.760 we have very small majorities in the House, and those 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.920 majorities can sometimes be difficult to manage, I'm confident that 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:10.280 will produce legislation that cuts taxes, that secures our border, 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:15.120 that unleashes American energy production, that rebuilds our military, and 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.679 that implements the agenda on which we all campaign last year. 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.240 If that happens, this will be one of the most 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.760 transformational presidencies in the last one hundred years. Is that, 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.080 especially cutting two trillion dollars in waste, fraud and abuse, 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.640 and cutting back on on big government and returning to 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:38.720 constitutional order, limited government, greater freedom. Senator Cotton, you're one 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.520 of the real heroes in DC, one of the solid 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.120 conservatives we can always count on. We appreciate you always 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:44.600 being with us. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.640 Thank you, sir, Thank you, Sean. And what I think 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.080 is the last radio program of the Joe Biden Eira. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.240 If I'm not mistaken, this is. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.000 The last one. The next time I come on the 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.160 air Monday, Donald J. Trump will be the president. The 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.600 only downside is I'll be doing the show from the 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:01.680 where you have to live half the time. 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.240 Well, it's been a long four years that America. 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.720 Long for your long national nightmares coming to a friggin end. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:15.400 Thank god. Uh anyway, Senator, we appreciate you. All right, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:20.600 let us go. It's actually pretty funny Biden got interrupted 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.520 by a music montage. You just can't make it up. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.320 I mean, it's like, okay, Joe, just just go home. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.400 My poor friend Steven A. Smith's felt bad for Joe, 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:31.920 felt sad for Joe. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:49.960 Listen, Southern Hemisphere had access to change, had access. It 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.400 wasn't confrontational at all. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.480 Thank you everybody, this man's account press conference. Thanks everyone, 0:15:55.560 --> 0:16:03.480 Thank you, thank you all. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:22.240 I'm going too long. I apologize. That must be my 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:23.200 traveling staff. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.360 I mean, nothing has gone right for him, and he 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.840 he tries, as I said earlier, so hard to rehabilitate 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.760 what was a failed presidency. And then the people in 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.440 the media. Oh, people are going to look back very fondly. 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.480 James Clyburn, He's going to be viewed as one of 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.280 the greatest presidents ever. I'm like, what world are you 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:46.320 living in, because that's not going to happen anyway. Our 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:52.320 friend Peter Doosey breaks down the White House stagecraft designed 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.720 to minimize Biden's mistakes, and they would just blast music. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.880 I mean, he breaks it all down. Listen to what 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.480 really happens. Oh so it's not an accident after all. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.159 How do you like that? All right, let's get to 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.920 our busy phones. We are on preemptive pardon watch. As 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.760 I mentioned earlier in the program today, Joe Biden, you know, 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.720 commuting the sentences of what two thousand and twenty five 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.680 hundred rather drug offender sentences. I really don't have a 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.920 problem with the power of the pardon. I think it 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.280 should be absolute, and I'd like to see Donald Trump 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.520 take it to the next level except use it justly, 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.679 not like Biden, and watch what happens with Jim Biden 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.040 in the next few days. James Comer has actually come 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:47.600 out and said, yeah, I think that maybe the referral 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.200 that we made about Jim Biden needs to be looked into. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.719 Joe Biden said he won't pardon himself. He may want 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.800 to rethink that. In my view, Homer urging the soon 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.680 to be Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Jim Biden 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.920 for lying to Congress. That's not that's not law fair, 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.879 that is not weaponization. If he lied to Congress, he 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.159 lied to Congress. And if you think it's a problem, 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.680 well then ask yourself, well, why did Peter Navarro and 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.760 Steve Bannon go to jail over not not appearing before 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.359 the January sixth committee. They were held in contempt of Congress, 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.640 something that rarely happens. That didn't happen to the likes 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.280 of Lowist Learner and are a holder and a whole 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:32.200 bunch of other people. Uh, speaking of pardons Kim and Kansas, Hey, Kim, 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:33.880 how are you glad you called. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:35.680 I am doing great. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:36.840 How are you doing? 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.520 I am doing great? And the next show you will 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.640 hear this radio show, we will have a new president. 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.440 I know all of you. 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.960 I can't even tell you how excited I am about 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:50.440 all of that. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.520 It's pretty it's it's pretty it's a pretty exciting time. 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.800 It's pretty cool. And like you, I am excited. 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:08.120 The real reason that I called in is because I'm 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:12.760 trying really hard to understand all of this legal processes 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:17.480 that are occurring for us, and like I understand the 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:24.200 Supreme Court declined Trump. However they it was my understanding 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.200 the reason that they were able to lawfully do that 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.040 is because there had not been a verdict yet as 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.639 to how his case was going to come to a 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.440 final decision. And so I get that. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:44.679 I understand that, respect that everything. With that circumstance, However, we. 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:45.600 Have a. 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:51.400 We have Biden who is able to get plea bargains 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:56.399 for people that haven't even done anything wrong, or is 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.560 he saying and thinking that they did something wrong, so 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.240 therefore he's just going to go ahead and get them 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.520 a pardon. But if that's the case, how can he 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:06.960 do that? 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.399 I mean, well, you're pointing out something that's important, and 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:15.520 that was the silver lighting and that Supreme Court decision. Look, 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.840 I'm not the lawyer, but legal scholars that we interviewed 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.360 and we've talked to and Mark Levinn had been saying 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:25.119 and probably longer than anybody, is that the argument to 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.720 the Supreme Court should have been brought not last minute, 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:29.760 but a lot earlier, and it should have dealt with 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:34.280 issues like the supremacy clause, not issues involving process. You know, 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.240 I'm not going to get into an argument with the 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.320 President's attorneys on that because I'm very confident in the 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.960 end this is going to be overturned on appeal. The 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.200 statute of limitations had run out on this particular case. 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.399 Number one, Number two, it was a novel legal theory. 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.919 Number three, I don't believe that Alvin Bragg had jurisdiction 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.440 to get into federal election law. And number four it 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:03.880 also they also had testimony in the case that came 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:09.000 from Donald Trump's time as president. Thus the Supreme Court 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:14.080 decision in terms of a presidential immunity then would kick 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.680 in as well, and the verdict should have been vacated. 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:20.159 It didn't happen, it will happen. I'm very confident it 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.920 will happen. It's not going to be anything Donald Trump 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.320 I think has to worry about ever again. But it's 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.160 going to take time as lawyers will have to work 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:27.440 through it. 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.639 Do you think that Biden is still going to be 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:38.720 able to get pardons for people that haven't even been prosecuted, Yes, yes, guilty. 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.159 I think he will do it for his brother. I 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.119 would anticipate Liz Cheney, Benny Thompson. I mean, there probably 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.040 is a betting line on this. Linda, maybe take a 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:48.600 look and see if there's a betting line on this. 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:53.679 Who would get a preemptive pardon. Anthony Fauci would probably 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.080 be on the list, And in spite of everybody saying no, 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.359 I would not be surprised if Joe Biden puts his 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:03.679 own name on the list. I would not be shocked 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.520 by that. But we'll see. 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.240 Well, that's definitely admitting that they have done something wrong. 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.440 Yeah, I think the biggest fear and you could see 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:19.080 this in Pam Bondi's you know, the rude grilling is 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:21.720 all of a sudden, the very people that never have 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.800 said a word about weaponization of justice, never said a 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.159 word about how the FBI and our intelligence community was 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.520 politicized and weaponized. You know, now all of a sudden, 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:37.080 Donald Trump's going back into office and the very thing 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.960 that they have put their seal of approval on or 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:44.159 been silent on, they're deathly afraid is going to happen 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.080 to them. The only difference this time is these would 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:50.480 be real crimes. What Joe did by leveraging a billion 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.720 dollars to get you know, a prosecutor investigating his son 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.440 fired when his son was addicted to drugs, had no 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:02.000 experience and energy, oil, gas coal or Ukraine. Yeah, or 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:07.560 the CEFC WhatsApp message, or the implication on Hunter's laptop 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.680 of his own father. He's got major issues. You know, 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:14.200 whether Pam Bondi chooses to pursue that, there is something 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:18.280 called prosecutorial discretion, and I have great faith in Pam 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.520 Bondi shall make the right decision at the right time. 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:22.879 And I'm not sure what the right decision is. This 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.160 country has a whole host of problems, including violent crime 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:30.200 out of control, you know, getting illegal immigrants deported. You know, 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.359 we have to We're gonna have to prioritize because there 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:37.000 are limited resources. Let's let's let's see we really do 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:41.320 appreciate your call, though, Kim, thank you so much. Oh, 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:45.800 there actually is, Linda sent me all right? Who will Biden? 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:52.119 Is a polymarket? Who will Biden? Pardon? Let's see Donald 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:57.280
