1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: We look back tonight so we can look forward. We'll

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: talk about that. We have foreign policy stuff. House Freedom

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Caucus Chair Bob good is with us.

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: What's going on with this spending bill?

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: My goodness, we have a huge show tonight plus Lee Smith.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: And I'm right, I know what you're saying.

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: It was a big day today.

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: That this is Afghanistan hearing stuff kind of boring. We

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: have the spending stuff really important. We'll get to that.

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: So what are we going to talk about tonight to

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: open up the show. And I'm right, well, I'm actually

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: not talking about any of that. I'm looking back tonight,

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: not focusing on today. I'm looking back, and it's important

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: that we keep looking back. I want to explain why

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: we're about to talk about COVID and what happened four

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: years ago and things like that. It's really really, really,

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: really really important that we continue to look back, that

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: we don't ignore it, we don't move on, we don't say, ah,

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: that was bad, I'm glad we're through it. We cannot

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: allow that to happen to ourselves or to this country. Why.

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: Because what happened during coronavirus, specifically the lockdowns, the government

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: response to coronavirus. What happened there can never ever, ever,

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: ever ever be allowed to happen again, because what happened

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: there changed this country, possibly forever and for the worse.

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: And a lot of people still don't really grasp that.

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: They don't grasp what happened March this week, four years ago,

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: this infamous press conference took place.

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: We're announcing new guidelines for every American to follow over

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: the next fifteen days as we combat the virus. Seats

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: and every one of us as a critical role to

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: play in stopping the spread transmission of the virus. We

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: did this today, and this was done by a lot

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: of very talented people, some of whom were standing with me.

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I want you to think about that moment. And I

35
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: know that's not a fun moment to look at to remember,

36
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: but I want you to think about that moment, and

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I want you to think about everything that came after

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: that moment and things that came as a result of

39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: that moment. Look, Donald Trump himself was his press conference, right.

40
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: That was the moment his presidency ended. That was the

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: moment he lost his re election. See, Donald Trump was

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: taking charge in charge, if we want to put it

43
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: that way. Of a roaring economy, and sitting presidents with

44
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: roaring economies doesn't matter whether they're a Democrat or Republican

45
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: get elected, re elected, I should say every single time,

46
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: every single time, And that moment right there was the

47
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: moment the roaring economy got flown into the side of

48
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: a mountain. That moment right there cost of reelection. What

49
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: did it cost us? What did it cost America? Ooh everything?

50
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: Our dollar, our freedoms, our relationship with our own government,

51
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: our relationship with our medical community. And I want to

52
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: make sure I emphasize this again. Even if COVID turned

53
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: out to be the Black Plague part two, which obviously

54
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't we know that now, Even if it turned

55
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: out to be the Black Plague part two, still still

56
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: stopping your country from moving on purpose in response to

57
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: a virus is the most insane, damaging, disgusting idea possibly

58
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: in the history of the world. The idea that you

59
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: would just point it society and say stop moving, your economy,

60
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: stop moving kids, no more school, Just you point to

61
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the parts of your society that make it a society

62
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: and you order.

63
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Them to stop. That idea is bunkers.

64
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: And that idea now in the minds of many Americans,

65
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: probably not you, but in the minds of.

66
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: Many, many, many, many, many Americans.

67
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: Now because of COVID, because of the COVID response, that's

68
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: simply what you do. How many Americans out there believed

69
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: that today, if there was the Black Plague Part two,

70
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: God forbid it hit our shores today, how many Americans

71
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: would respond by age, should we lock down again? What

72
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: time should lockdown start? How many days should we lock down?

73
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: Obviously we need a lock down? Because now COVID built

74
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: that into the minds of Americans, that well, that's.

75
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: Just what you do. No, it's not what you do.

76
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: And in fact, nations around the world had pandemic plans

77
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: pre COVID, and none of them included locking down society.

78
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: Every nation took its plans and chucked it out the

79
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: door and ruined your life for a chest old everything

80
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: changed in the the cruelty I saw. I know you

81
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: saw it too. Everyone experienced it in some way. But

82
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: the cruelty do you remember do you remember this video

83
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: of a funeral, this one's actually in England, of a

84
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: son trying to comfort his mother.

85
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: Do you remember this? Alan wit?

86
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: I therefore offer you all a very warm welcome as

87
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: were unite in love.

88
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: And yeah, m m hm, m hmm.

89
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: People turned into monsters. Normal people turned into monsters. Maybe

90
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: you saw this, Maybe it was your neighbor, maybe it

91
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: was your mom, your son, your daughter.

92
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: I still I can't bring myself to throw them away.

93
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: I still have thousands of emails, heartbreaking emails of stories

94
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: from people, and the ones that get me the most

95
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: are jesse, my mom won't let us come visit. She's

96
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: never met her grandson. Jesse, my brother stopped speaking to

97
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: me because that wasn't vaccinated. Normal people turned into monsters.

98
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, we had many monsters running the

99
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: show already, and those monsters revealed themselves during COVID. There

100
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: are a million political videos I've seen and you've seen.

101
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: That's what we do for a living here on I'm right,

102
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: we bring you political videos every single night of this

103
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: politician saying this and this bureaucrat saying that. So there

104
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: have been a million pieces of video that have angered me,

105
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: made me laugh, made me feel various kinds of emotion.

106
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: I will tell you, I'm forty two years old and

107
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: I have never, I don't think, ever seen a video

108
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: that has stayed aid with me like this next video

109
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: has and has infuriated me like this next video has

110
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: because of everything this video reveals, you're about to watch

111
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: Mandy Cohen. Mandy Cohen is currently the head of the CDC.

112
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: She's the current head of the CDC. I want to

113
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: point that out. She wasn't the head of the CDC

114
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: when this video was taken. She was in charge of

115
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: the North Carolina version of that. But I want you

116
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: to watch this, and as you watch, I want you

117
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: to I want you to watch this human being. I

118
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: want you to watch how she views her power, how

119
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: she mocks you, how she laughs at what she'll allow

120
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: you to do, what she won't allow you to do,

121
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: and how she made those decisions. I was on the

122
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: phone with her and are you gonna let them? And

123
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let them and haha.

124
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: We're not gonna let them.

125
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: Monsters. Monsters run the institutions of this nation. Here's the

126
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: current head of the Center for Disease Control.

127
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 5: So I would call probably the person I called most

128
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: was the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Massachusetts.

129
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: She worked for a Republican governor. Just to but you know,

130
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: when she was like, are you are you gonna let

131
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: them have professional football? And I was like nope, and

132
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 5: She's like okay, neither away and neither we. So you know,

133
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: it was like conversations like that.

134
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: So it's so much fun. What are we gonna take

135
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: away from them? I have power, you have power. We'll

136
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: take that away. We'll take that away. Isn't that fun.

137
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna forget.

138
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let it go because these people, these people,

139
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: none of them lost their jobs except for Trump. These

140
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: people all got promoted. That woman went from North Carolina.

141
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: They're the big cheese, the Feds, they all got promoted.

142
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna forget how these people thought they

143
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: were the good guy while they censored the truth.

144
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: But don't play you a video real quick.

145
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: This is just Jen Soak talking about Facebook. But that

146
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: specific thing isn't as important as this idea. Remember the

147
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: crazy conspiracy theorists were right about everything. The institutions of

148
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: this nation, are medical or political, Our media or the

149
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: institutions of this nation.

150
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: Were wrong about everything.

151
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: And the institutions who were wrong about everything, they not

152
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: only lied about everything, they.

153
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: Made sure the truth the truth. You knew the truth, you.

154
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: Spoke, They made sure it couldn't get out, and to

155
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: this day they are so unafraid they brag about it.

156
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 6: In terms of actions Alex that we have taken or

157
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 6: were working to take, I should say, from the federal government,

158
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 6: we've increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General's Office.

159
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 6: We're flagging problematic posts four Facebook that spread this information,

160
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 6: brag about it.

161
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: All that disinformation they were flagging, it was all the

162
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: correct information. Get your fourteenth booster shop. That was a lie,

163
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: promoted the truth got censored. I'm not going to let

164
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: it go, and neither should you. You should never forget

165
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: what happened in this nation four years ago this week.

166
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: All that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am

167
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: right joining me. Next is going to be Chairman of

168
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: the House Freedom Caucus, Bob Good.

169
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: There's this big spending.

170
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: Debate going on right now in the House, and surprise, surprise,

171
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like it didn't go our way.

172
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Bob Good about.

173
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: That in a moment. Before we do that, let's talk

174
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: about something fun. Look, I know when we talk about

175
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: burn up pistol launchers, the non lethal pistol, I know

176
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: we talk about self defense, and obviously that's what it's about.

177
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: Right, it's a non lethal option.

178
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: I carey concealed, but I like having a non lethal option.

179
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: Whether you carry concealed or not, you need a non

180
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: lethal option. Shoots these pepper balls. But you don't have

181
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: any idea how much fun it is to practice with

182
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: these things.

183
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: When you buy one.

184
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: They give you this big target comes with it and

185
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: it traps the little practice balls because you get practice

186
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: balls with it, and they're full of baby powder. My

187
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: son's me, the wife. We go in the backyard and

188
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: just pop pop pop pop. It is so much fun

189
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: and save your life and stop a bad man.

190
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: Legal in all fifty states.

191
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: They'll mail one to your front door and get a

192
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: Berna pistol launcher ten percent off at Bernard dot com

193
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: slash jesse. That's b y r Na Berner dot com

194
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: slash Jesse. We talked to Bob good next. Well, look,

195
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of bad news to be

196
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: found out there with the border and everything else.

197
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: And the dead, but I do have some good news.

198
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: The good news is the House of Representatives has a

199
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: GOP majority, so at least we are going to put

200
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: a stop to a lot of this insane nonsense. Joining

201
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: me now update all of us on how exactly that's going.

202
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, one of the

203
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: few good ones up there, Congressman Bob Good joins, it's okay, Congressman,

204
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: grateful the GOP is in charge that we're finally going

205
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: to get some of this radical, crazy stuff under control.

206
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 2: Could you give us an update on how that's going.

207
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 7: Well, unfortunately, I don't have a lot good to report

208
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 7: as it applies to funding our government. As you know,

209
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 7: we split the omnibus into two minibuses, so I guess

210
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 7: we can technically say we didn't do an omnibus because

211
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 7: we split the twelve spending bills into two pieces. But unfortunately,

212
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 7: we're increasing spending ever so modestly, about a seventy billion

213
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 7: dollars over the Biden, Pelosi Schumer levels that were in

214
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 7: place when the American people trusted us with the majority

215
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 7: fourteen months ago. And sadly, we're continuing the policies that

216
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 7: are destroying the country. And so I'm planning to vote

217
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 7: against this minibus that we expect to get techs I

218
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 7: think tonight, and to vote on by the end of

219
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 7: the week.

220
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 8: Unfortunately, again, it's not doing.

221
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 7: Enough to re that we do have half of the

222
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 7: legislative branch, and because again it's going to increase spending,

223
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 7: it's going to keep the policies in place that we

224
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 7: campaign against, that we run against, that we attack, and

225
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 7: that we criticize.

226
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Congressman, can you explain to people who don't understand why

227
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: split it? Why even bother splitting it if there aren't

228
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: going to be any cuts? But what did we gain

229
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: from splitting it?

230
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 7: Well, I guess theoretically, at least it makes it a

231
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 7: little easier to review half a spending bill in a

232
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 7: short period of time than it does a single spending bill.

233
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 7: But materially there's really no difference. I mean, I guess

234
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 7: technically you can say, oh, we didn't do an omnibus

235
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 7: like the Democrats did in December of twenty two. If

236
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 7: you remember, sort of the last gasp of full control

237
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 7: of Democrat the government in December twenty two, they passed

238
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 7: the one point six trillion dollar, three thousand page omnibus.

239
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 7: It was kind of the last will of Richard Shelby

240
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 7: from Alabama going out the door, and it had, you know,

241
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 7: just thousands of earmarks and it was. It was passed

242
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 7: by I think about seventeen Senate Republicans joined it and

243
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 7: passed it out the door. I don't think any House

244
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 7: Republicans voted for it. But really, those spending levels and

245
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 7: those policies are still in place fourteen months later. So

246
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 7: while we have slowed things down, Jesse, we've not exacerbated

247
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 7: the situation as badly as would have happened if Democrats

248
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 7: were in full control. The mini bus that was passed,

249
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 7: the first half that was passed two weeks ago, ninety

250
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 7: nine percent of Democrats voted against it. They voted, excuse me,

251
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 7: voted for it. Nine am percent Democrats voted for it.

252
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 7: So it was two o seven to two for Democrats.

253
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 7: Can you even imagine if Democrats had full control of

254
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 7: government or full control of the House, I should say,

255
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 7: would they ever, Nancy Pelosi ever bring a spending bill

256
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 7: to the floor that Republicans would pass ninety nine percent

257
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 7: and Democrats would only vote for it two to one

258
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 7: like Republicans did.

259
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Bob, could you explain, do Republicans on the hill do

260
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: they care about spending? I get the impression, this is

261
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: just the impression I get that they don't because the

262
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: American people don't. Even the Republican voter really truly doesn't.

263
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: I realized some people in your district do, and people

264
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: watching this show obviously do. But Republicans as a whole,

265
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: they don't care about spending.

266
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: So Republicans got to wash it and they don't want

267
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: to cut anything.

268
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 7: Well, actions would confirm what you're saying there. We could

269
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 7: speculate on what they really care about, but the actions

270
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 7: would betray the campaign rhetoric or the talking points that

271
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 7: we care about it. But I think the American people

272
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 7: Jesse are realizing that the harm from the spending and

273
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 7: increasing numbers because they're suffering under forty year high inflation

274
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 7: and twenty year high interest rates. The average mortgage is

275
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 7: some sixty percent more expensive than it was when this

276
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 7: president came into office. They're paying about one thousand dollars

277
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 7: a month more for the essentials, meaning in groceries, housing, utilities,

278
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 7: and gasoline than they were when this president got into office.

279
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 8: So the American people are suffering.

280
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 7: And I don't think spending and the debt and the

281
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 7: deficit are just an abstract concept anymore, because the days

282
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 7: of spending without consequence are over. A credit's been down

283
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 7: graded twice in the last year. Again, interest rates are

284
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 7: higher as a result. So it's really hurting the American people,

285
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,359
Speaker 7: and I think they understand that something has to change.

286
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish they did too.

287
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: All Right, moving on may Orcus, is he actually going

288
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: to get impeached? I know we had the inquiry and

289
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: it looks like he's gonna get the heave hole.

290
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: Maybe.

291
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, now that we had that loser ken

292
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Buck leave, I don't know where do we sit on

293
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: all this.

294
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 7: Well, it did pass the House by one vote, and

295
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 7: so it's been sent on to the Senate, so it's

296
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 7: up to the Senate to take it up.

297
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 8: The Senate does have to take it up.

298
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 7: I don't know exactly what their timeline will be when

299
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 7: they do take it up. But he certainly should be impeached. Frankly,

300
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 7: the president should be impeached because of the border. We

301
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 7: don't need any more evidence or investigation other than ten

302
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 7: million illegals who've invaded the country with the help not

303
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 7: being allowed in by this president, but being helped in

304
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 7: this country by this president's policies. My orcis being the

305
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 7: primarily person executing those policies, and Jesse never in the

306
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 7: history of the country, never before has our own president

307
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 7: and by extension, his administration done more to intentionally harm

308
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 7: the United States. And what this president has done with

309
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 7: the border, you know, we just you probably just saw it.

310
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 8: In the last day or two.

311
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 7: You had this Lebanese illegal alien who had ties to

312
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 7: hesbel I worked for Hesbola for some seven years, got caught.

313
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 8: He got caught, thankfully, to go to.

314
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 7: New York and to make a bomb, and that's why

315
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 7: he was coming into the country. How many do you

316
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 7: think like that we might have in the two million

317
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 7: ialy excuse me, the two million got aways that we

318
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 7: know about.

319
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, Congressman, thank you so much for being one of

320
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: the ones trying to fight for us up.

321
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

322
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: From Hesbola comes across the border, he's making a bomb,

323
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: and that's one of the ones they caught. We don't

324
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: even think. You don't think enough about it. I guess

325
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: what good would it do to sit and dwell on it?

326
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: How many bad guys are here making preparations as we speak,

327
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: because you're sitting there watching me on the TV.

328
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: Something all right.

329
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Afghanistan, there's little Afghanistan. Hearing in Congress today, Let's talk

330
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: to Jason Beard's Lee Green Beret about that about accountability

331
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: and lack of Before we get to Jason, let's talk

332
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: about the lack of accountability for time share companies. Listen,

333
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: these timeshare companies are the biggest bunch of scammers, and

334
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: I hate that about them because you get the flowery brochure,

335
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: you get the presentation, hey don't you want your time

336
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: share on the beach, and you get in. But what

337
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: they never end up mentioning during that seminar, what they

338
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: never mentioned when you're signing that paperwork is you're never

339
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: allowed out, and it'll let you out when you're done

340
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: with it. You can't just hand it back. They say, no, no, no, no, sorry,

341
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: it's yours permanently.

342
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: Enjoy that thing.

343
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: It's not yours permanently because lone Star Transfer exists.

344
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: It would be if it wasn't for lone Star.

345
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: But lone Star Transfer will permanently get you out and

346
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: legally get you out. They are confident, probably cocky would

347
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: be more accurate. Ninety nine percent of the time they're successful.

348
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: You make that phone call, lone Star Transfer will set

349
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: you free. They're so confident they put it in writing

350
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: call them eight four four three to one zero two

351
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: six four to six, or go to lone Star transfer

352
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: dot com.

353
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: We'll be back.

354
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: I'd like to talk a little bit now about Abby Gate.

355
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 4: It was a tragic event, one of many that have

356
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: occurred over a twenty year engagement in Afghanistan. It remains

357
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 4: my opinion that if there is culpability in this attack,

358
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 4: it lies in policy decisions that created the environment of

359
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 4: August twenty twenty one.

360
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 9: In cobble.

361
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Afghanistan is another one of those things we're not going

362
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: to let go. There are things that I don't intend

363
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: to let go because of how many lives were changed, lost,

364
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: altered because of the lies and corruption and idiocy of

365
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: this government. I'm sorry, but I'm just gonna forget it

366
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: and let it go. Joining me now, Green Beret senior

367
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: advisor at Concerned Veterans for America.

368
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: My friend Jason Beardsley joins us.

369
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: Okay, Jason, it's obvious by this point in time, at

370
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: least to me.

371
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure to you that.

372
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: Nobody is going to ever be held accountable for that

373
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: twenty year debacle in Afghanistan.

374
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: No politicians, no generals, no admirals.

375
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: And I just I have such a difficult time wrapping

376
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: my mind around the fact that that's.

377
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: The kind of country I live in now.

378
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, that hurts very deeply, especially for the patriotic service

379
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 10: members who loved this country and wanted nothing but to

380
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 10: serve it at their highest calling and some lost their

381
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 10: lives or lost lives for that. And to come back

382
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 10: and watch the lack of accountability, whether it's you could

383
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 10: go all the way back, so this doesn't start like

384
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 10: in the last ten years Vietnam, we didn't have as

385
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 10: much accountability. Then you roll forward to things like the

386
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 10: Afghanistan withdraw or Benghazi or Iraq or what just happened

387
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 10: with our three service members in Jordan. What we never

388
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 10: get is we never get resolution. I was watching the

389
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 10: hearing before we dialed into and you're just watching two

390
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 10: sides of the political spectrum point out what the other

391
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 10: side is doing wrong. But there is nothing that the

392
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 10: American people can put their hands to and say this

393
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 10: is what went wrong and this is what we're going

394
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 10: to do about it. Nobody got fired and nobody lost

395
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 10: their job, but our service members lose their lives. That's

396
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 10: what American people are so tired of when they watch

397
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 10: these foreign policy entanglements stretch for years and then we

398
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 10: never get the insight, we never get the oversight, we

399
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 10: never get accountability. So that's what we're demanding. It's hard

400
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 10: to get from these.

401
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: Guys, it is, Jason, Can you explain to me what

402
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: changed or why it changed?

403
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: Because you brought up Vietnam And that's a good point,

404
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: and it's wild to me. I'm a World War two freak.

405
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: Like every guy who hits the age of forty, I

406
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: read everything I can get my hands on when it

407
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: comes to World War Two, and it really is. Honestly,

408
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: it's borderline, and I'm a big accountability fire I'm all guy.

409
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: It's honestly over the top of World War Two. How

410
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: quickly you would get the.

411
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: Acts if you were a flag officer of any kind

412
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: and an operation didn't go your way, if even ones

413
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: that weren't even your fault, up, You're gone, fired up,

414
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: You're gone, Oh goodbye, hello to a court martial.

415
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: Your career is ruined.

416
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: It was just it was automatically done. It was again,

417
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: it was too much, and now none of.

418
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 2: These guys get fired. Ever, what changed? You know?

419
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 10: You bring up an excellent point with World War two

420
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 10: we can go all the way back to the Civil War.

421
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: I think most of us that recognize.

422
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 10: President Lincoln had to fire general after general just to

423
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 10: get to some victory. And here comes a real let's

424
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 10: call it a cynical point, but one that history will

425
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 10: sort of recommend. The less we fire generals, the less

426
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 10: we win wars. Right, So, in the last twenty years,

427
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 10: when we pull out of a place like a rack

428
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 10: in Afghanistan, there have not been accountability. You see a

429
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 10: different dynamic on the battlefield, which is not looking for

430
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 10: a concluded victory, but rather some sort of ambiguous, unclear goal,

431
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 10: which of course is not a military thing. This is

432
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 10: why they're struggling. Our recruitment is down. The morale has

433
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 10: been hit. I represent concerned veterans for America, and these

434
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 10: are veterans who wanted to come back and say, do

435
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 10: not let this happen to the next generation of veterans.

436
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 10: That's on healthcare, but it's also on foreign policy. We

437
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 10: cannot afford as American taxpayers to spend our money like

438
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 10: drunken sailors part in the Pune.

439
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: What were the biggest failures in Afghanistan? The way you

440
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: see it, everyone remembers the withdrawal, right, because it was

441
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: just awful. Every part of it was off or thirteen

442
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: war years than we'd droned Strike.

443
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: Ten, and everyone remembers that.

444
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: But Afghanistan was a twenty year pile of crap long

445
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: before that withdraw wasn't it.

446
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

447
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 10: I think one of the biggest failures is the big

448
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 10: business idea of war, right where when we did the

449
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 10: invasion early on with special Operations CIA hand in hand

450
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 10: with Taliban, and we actually got good control of the population.

451
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 10: And you just heard General really testifying moments ago right

452
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 10: before we dialed up again that we had intelligence back

453
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 10: in the early part of this invasion that could have

454
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 10: gotten us to bin Laden had we tried harder. But

455
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 10: instead we leaned back a little, we brought in big

456
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 10: conventional forces, and the rest of this became a corporate

457
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 10: monopolized sort of story about twenty years of profligate spending

458
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 10: with zero accountability. So I think when you introduce this

459
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 10: idea of you know what Eisenhower talked about, this industrial

460
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 10: complex and how the big companies are making money, you're

461
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 10: going to lose sight of what the actual victory component is.

462
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 10: And I served in Iraq, I served in other combat

463
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 10: zones as well.

464
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 2: And what I was.

465
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 10: Always missing as a soldier, again a veteran from America,

466
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 10: is what are we doing and how do we win this?

467
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 2: But nobody ever had that answer.

468
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 10: So in the end, I think what changed, Jesse, is

469
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 10: that we stopped asking our military to win wars and

470
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 10: we started asking them to do things that are vague

471
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 10: and ambiguous and belong rather than the military over in

472
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 10: the door domain of the State Department. You want to

473
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 10: build a nation, go to the State Department. They're not

474
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 10: good at it. I'm not suggesting they are, but it's

475
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 10: definitely not the role of the military.

476
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: Jason.

477
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: One of the things that's hit me is I don't

478
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: have a single g Watt veter sorry everyone, Global War

479
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: on terrorism and I have a single Global War on

480
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: Terrorism friend who is encouraging his children to.

481
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: Join the military.

482
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: And I can't find another time in our history where

483
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: that is the case. Even the Vietnam vets were okay

484
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: for the most part from what I read from when

485
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: I talked to with their boys signing up and going

486
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: to fight. The GWAT vets are out on all that.

487
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: What happened we.

488
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 10: Got whipped, you know, after Vietnam you mentioned there was

489
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 10: a huge morale decrease, and so the late seventies were

490
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 10: filled with a lot of people that were sort of

491
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 10: not the best of the best. But that got turned

492
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 10: around and pretty soon people became proud again to be

493
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 10: part of the military. Pride comes with things like accomplishment

494
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 10: or you know, discipline and accountabi. If the soldiers, the

495
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 10: frontline soldiers who lost friends on one of them buried

496
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 10: them in places like Arlington over and over again from

497
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 10: war wounds, came back home and saw that there was

498
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 10: no closure, that's defeating, that's debilitating. On the other hand,

499
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 10: if they see in the long term, places like Veterans

500
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 10: Affairs where concerned veterans for America.

501
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: We talk about this all the time.

502
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 10: You can't even get good healthcare from Veterans Affairs, and

503
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 10: I should comment plenty of people do, but it's it's randomized.

504
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 10: Some of us have to wait in lines, and there's bureaucracy,

505
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 10: and there's all kinds of scandals. So when we're treated

506
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 10: like that and we're losing wars, we look down at

507
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 10: our children, who we know are going to go for

508
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 10: the next you know, series or generation of wars. And

509
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 10: so far the track records no good. We're losing. We

510
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 10: haven't been able to maintain the prowess or the acumen

511
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 10: that the military is so proud of. And so when

512
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 10: we come back from Afghanistan, we come back from Iraq

513
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 10: and we know that the politicians are in charge and

514
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 10: handing us ambiguity in vague, we have a hard time

515
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 10: wanting to tell our children, Yeah, this is the right

516
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 10: thing to serve for.

517
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: You got to win.

518
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 10: You got to get back to winning, and that starts

519
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 10: with where we started.

520
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 2: Witches. You've got to fire generals, and you got to

521
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: fire them a lot.

522
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: Jay, So let's shift gears and talk about Haiti here,

523
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: because this situation appears to be degenerating. I don't even

524
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: know if it's appropriate to call Haiti's situation degenerating, because

525
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Haiti has always sucked. It's been awful, whether they have

526
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: a government or don't. It's a nightmarish hell hole of

527
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: a place, and apparently it's only getting worse.

528
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: I'm concerned. Well, first of all, you're not supposed to

529
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 2: say that.

530
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 10: You're never supposed to politically say that the place sucks,

531
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 10: and we learned that. But what's been going on? You

532
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 10: point out it's been long. It's been a long time.

533
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 10: They've started in the bloodbath of revolution. There was a

534
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 10: recent assassination. There's been political instability, and all the aid

535
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 10: from the United Nations or the United States has not

536
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 10: settled the political problem. And for people that know, you know,

537
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 10: look at their map, you'll notice it's right. It's the

538
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 10: same island as the Dominican Republic, which actually does pretty well,

539
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 10: has a good, you know, fruitful sort of bountiful economy,

540
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 10: and people enjoy going on vacation there. So it's not geography.

541
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 10: This is about people. It's about institutions. But what it

542
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 10: does is it causes the American taxpayer once again when

543
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 10: they see these things happen, veterans who have served, or

544
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,239
Speaker 10: families who are shelling out their taxes trying to make

545
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 10: ends meet, asking the question after time, why are we

546
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 10: spending so much money on foreign aid for a place

547
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 10: that apparently can't resolve it, can't do anything with it. Right,

548
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 10: And then we go in and we look at a

549
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 10: place like Ukraine, or we look at Israel. We see

550
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 10: all this money leaving, We see our borders overwhelmed. We

551
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 10: see that people here in America are hurting, and our

552
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 10: economy is hurting. So I think that's the problem is

553
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 10: instability in Haiti, longtime political violence gangs. They have not

554
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 10: got the infrastructure necessary to have a governing state that

555
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 10: is peaceful. We deal with the ramifications of that, and

556
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 10: now we're looking at serge immigration crisis once again. So

557
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 10: again the American taxpayer deserves some answers, but you're not

558
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 10: going to get it from this body of lawmakers.

559
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: They dodge responsibility.

560
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Jason, you wrote a piece for the American Conservative talking

561
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: about Ukrainian money and the oversight there, and it's really

562
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: really not good. Where is all this money? And forget

563
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: about the money, the stuff. Is all this stuff getting

564
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: to the front lines or all those one fifty five's

565
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: getting up there with the troops.

566
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: We hope.

567
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 10: So that's the essence of this report. It's this long

568
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 10: one hundred and fifty eight page report on Operation Atlantic Resolve,

569
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 10: and it's talking about what's called enhanced end use material.

570
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 10: These are items like stinger missiles or Javelin missiles that

571
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 10: are weapons systems that we want to track. The problem

572
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 10: is it's a war zone, so a logistics being counter

573
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 10: can't take that missile, that shoulder fire missile walk to

574
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 10: the front edge of the battlefield where the Russians and

575
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 10: Ukrainians are shooting at each other and have.

576
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 2: Accountability of it.

577
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 10: So somewhere along the way, the oversight body State and

578
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 10: Department of Defense and USAID allowed for the Ukrainians to

579
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 10: do self reporting on these items. So they actually congratulate

580
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 10: themselves in this report for having ninety percent accountability. But

581
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 10: what that really means is ninety percent of the equipment

582
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 10: we're taking on word of faith by these Ukrainian generals, colonels,

583
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 10: military commanders that they've got accountability of this.

584
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: So bottom line is a lot of our money is missing.

585
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 10: The logistics report suggests there's gaps in the inventory. We

586
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 10: haven't been able to manage an up to date inventory.

587
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 10: So again the big picture here is when Americans are

588
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 10: sending highly sophisticated weapons systems into this dark hole, this

589
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 10: sort of black hole in the middle of a war,

590
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 10: a lot of those systems are going to find their

591
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 10: way onto the black markets around the world. They're going

592
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 10: to find their way into the hands of enemies, and

593
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 10: they're going to be used against US forces or allies

594
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 10: around the world.

595
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: That's happened before.

596
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 10: We saw that in the nineteen eighties with the Mujahideen

597
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 10: when we armed the Afghanistan Mujahideen against the Soviets, and

598
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 10: then spent another twenty and thirty years throughout the CIA

599
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 10: covert programs buying back the Stinger missiles. So we find

600
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 10: ourselves once again out a position of this advantage because

601
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 10: of corruption, corruption in Ukraine and the inability for the

602
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 10: big business of war to really account for where do

603
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 10: all these pieces go? That's the pieces. There's money too.

604
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 10: I've got a friend out of the embassy who told me, yep,

605
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 10: you could. You could get a Stinger missile for a

606
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 10: couple bottles of whiskey out there. So not a good situation,

607
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 10: you know, speaking of Afghanistan. I'm not even going to

608
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 10: tell anybody, Jason, I know you know what we paid

609
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 10: for each one.

610
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: Of those Stinger missiles we bought back from the afghanis

611
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: the foreign policy in this country. Jason, Thank you, my brother.

612
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: As always, man, I appreciate it. All right, We have

613
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: least talk a little bit more foreign policy stuff in

614
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: a moment now before we get to him. Obviously, the

615
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: House spending deal.

616
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: It's bad. They're not going to stop.

617
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey congressman out of Kentucky had a social media

618
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: post up today a paraphrase. He essentially said, Hey, I've

619
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: come to the realization that we're not going to stop

620
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: spending until there's a crisis, and a crisis is coming.

621
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: They're all telling you, finance giants, the political it's math,

622
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: the crisis is coming.

623
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: Have you done anything to prepare. Look, all we can

624
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: do is prepare. We can't stop it.

625
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Clearly, call Oxford Gold Group and prepare. You don't have

626
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: to go crazy. You don't need a nuclear bunker. You

627
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: better get some gold or silver coins in your hand,

628
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: and you better get some gold or silver in your

629
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: retirement account before this crisis gets here. Once the crisis

630
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: gets here, don't call me because you can't.

631
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: Do anything by them now.

632
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: Eight three three nine nine five Gold. Let Oxford Gold

633
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Group walk you through it all. They'll talk you through

634
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: it all. They make it easy. They handle everything for you.

635
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: That's why, like, I just want to call and they'll

636
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: just handle my stuff. Eight three three nine nine five Gold.

637
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: We'll be back.

638
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 7: I believe a new election is the only way to

639
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 7: allow for a healthy and open decision making process about

640
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 7: the future of Israel.

641
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna elaborate on a speech sheet.

642
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: Made a good speech.

643
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 3: I think he expressed a serious concern shared not only

644
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: by him but by many Americans.

645
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: What is wrong with advocating for elections in a democracy.

646
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't think people have really taken in how big

647
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: of a deal it is. The Democrats are calling for

648
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: Netnahu's head. I don't care whether you will or a Democrat.

649
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't care whether you like net and Yahoo. Israel

650
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: is an ally of the United States of America. It's

651
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: not some country we colonized. American politicians getting up and

652
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: calling for the ouster of a leader of an ally.

653
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that It's something I've ever seen before.

654
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 2: I bet Leo. Remember he's a lot smarter than me.

655
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 2: Joining me now. Lee Smith, columnist at Tablet Magazine. Lee, honestly,

656
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: you know I'm dumb. Have you ever seen that before?

657
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: The American politicians, Republicans are Democrats looking at an ally

658
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, get rid of that guy.

659
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, actually they've been trying to tople net

660
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 11: Yeah who. The Biden administration has been trying to tople

661
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 11: netnya who from the beginning or from when Nottyaho returned

662
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 11: as Prime Minister.

663
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 8: So no, they don't like him at all.

664
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 11: What's shocking here, I agree Jesse's shocking, But what sticks

665
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 11: out for me is is Israel is in the middle

666
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 11: of a very big war in response to the October

667
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 11: seventh master So that's what's surprising. That that's what's appalling

668
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 11: to lots of people, And that's what makes the Schumer's

669
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 11: speech bizarre and horrifying, especially from a man who is

670
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 11: at least said, if he's not proven, but at least

671
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 11: said that he's determined to advance, to advance Israeli security,

672
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 11: to advance the US Israel relationship. It's very surprising to

673
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 11: hear him call to topple right now the government of Israel.

674
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 2: Lee.

675
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: For me, maybe I'm just too cynical, but for me, this, honestly,

676
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: it looks very simple to me. It's not the Democrats

677
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: care about Israel, it's not that they care about Hamas

678
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't really care about any of this stuff. They

679
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: realize this entire thing has created domestic problems for them

680
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: with their Jewish voting base, with the Muslim voting base,

681
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: and they really just want this whole thing to go away.

682
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: They just want the whole thing to stop. That's what

683
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: it looks like to me. But tell me, am, I

684
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: all wet on that.

685
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 8: Well, you know, keep seeing the press, Jesse.

686
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 11: We keep seeing the press about Oh yeah, the Biden

687
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 11: team Biden campaign is very very worried about Michigan and

688
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 11: word about Minnesota. He's a very large air of American

689
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 11: and Muslim population, and you know, muslimsm Americans, American Muslims

690
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 11: are very upset about what's happening in Gaza.

691
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

692
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 11: No, that's not what's happening, right, And it's not the

693
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 11: progressive base. It's not just the kids who are marching

694
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 11: around college campus demanding Jewish genocide or going from the

695
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 11: river to the sea. This is the Democrats, right. It's

696
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 11: not just progressive. This is who the Democrats are. And

697
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 11: it goes back to the man who's the real leader

698
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 11: of the party, Barack Obama. Right, Barack Obama doesn't like Israel.

699
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 11: Barack Obama gave the Iranians who were legalized Iran's nuclear

700
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 11: weapons program. So look when they're saying Michigan, right, We're

701
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 11: always suspicious of the mainstream press, as we should be.

702
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 11: So when the mainstream press is saying, yeah, well, the

703
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 11: real problem is Michigan here in it and electoral issues.

704
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 11: It's about crunching numbers here heading into November.

705
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 8: That's not it.

706
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 11: The Democratic Party, Democratic Party leadership right now despises Israel again.

707
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 11: And we can say that's one of the things that's

708
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 11: surprising about Schumer that Schumer appears to have jumped from

709
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 11: from the pro Israel side of American politics to the

710
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 11: anti Israel side. But of course that side is becoming

711
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 11: increasingly small in the Democratic Party, and Schumer's jump perhaps

712
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 11: indicates that there's a very little there's there's almost no

713
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 11: room left on that wrapped aside for John Fetterman. John

714
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 11: Fetterman is the is the Democratic legislator who is most

715
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 11: supportive of Israel right now.

716
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 8: The rest of the Democrats they're not there.

717
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 11: And it's not just about Bbie, it's about it's about

718
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 11: Israel again in the middle of a war.

719
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: Okay, then what's the acts to grind between because you're

720
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: obviously right Obama and his lackeys and all the alreny

721
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: comedies that go along with him in Israel, what's the

722
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: rift there?

723
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, there's a number of different ways to

724
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 11: put this. I mean, I think Frankly, we have to

725
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 11: say Obama just doesn't like Israel. There's lots of people,

726
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 11: even there's people on our on our side, on the right,

727
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 11: who just don't like Israel for a number of different reasons.

728
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 11: And it's not really about the aid money, because it's

729
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 11: a very good argument to be made from the right

730
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 11: about why Israel should shouldn't get usaid, why it's better

731
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 11: for Israel, and why it's better for the United States.

732
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 11: But that's fundamentally where Barack Obama is and has been

733
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 11: for a very long time.

734
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 8: He doesn't like Israel.

735
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 11: There is a strategic argument to be made to or

736
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 11: a strategic framework in which to understand this, and which

737
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 11: the Obama administration, which the Democratic Party still led by

738
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 11: Barack Obama, believes that we should partner with the Islamic

739
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 11: Republic of Iran and the Middle East. And to do that,

740
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 11: to upgrade relations with you Ron, we have to downgrade

741
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 11: relations not just with Israel, but with other traditional American

742
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 11: allies in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia. So the

743
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 11: point is to elevate Iran and down grade everyone else.

744
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 11: And of course Amas is one of Iran's proxy forces,

745
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 11: along with the other proxy forces in Syria, in Iraq,

746
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 11: the Huthis as well, and of course Lebanon has Balah,

747
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 11: you know has Balah, and Lebanon is Iran's long arm

748
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 11: on the eastern Mediterranean. So the Biden team, in line

749
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 11: with Obama's vision, is very keen to make things okay

750
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 11: with Iran and its proxies around the region. So again

751
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 11: that's the strategic overlay for that vision. But I think

752
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 11: again it's very important to understand what's really at the

753
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 11: core of this, and this is that you know, Barack

754
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 11: Obama does not like Israel, and it doesn't have to.

755
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 11: It doesn't matter whether it's Benjamin net you know, who's

756
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 11: leading that government or someone else.

757
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: Why the peer? A lot of Americans are confused.

758
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: Why are we sending a thousand troops over there and

759
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: we're building a peer in Gaza and they're calling it

760
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: a temporary peer lee. You and I both know there's

761
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: nothing temporary the US government's ever going to build.

762
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: It's going to turn into something more. Why the peer?

763
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 11: Yeah, right, right, Well, I mean I think the way

764
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,959
Speaker 11: to see the peers in context of US forces. You know, Jesse,

765
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 11: I've seen you on social media on this, but US

766
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 11: forces in Syria and Iraq, and basically what US forces

767
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 11: are doing and have been doing for a long time. Unfortunately,

768
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 11: even under the Trump administration is protecting protecting Iranian interest

769
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 11: in Baghdad, in Syria. And this is this is another

770
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 11: manifestation of that Joe Biden is sending American forces to

771
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 11: advance to advance the cause of Iranian proxies. And this

772
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 11: is the point, this is the naked point point of

773
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 11: the peer what we have to understand sending American forces

774
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 11: into harm's way not just to advance American interest, but

775
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 11: to be not just to advance Iranian interest in the

776
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 11: interest of their proxies, but also making them vulnerable to

777
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 11: Iranian proxies. And this is what we've been seeing happen

778
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 11: an Iraq and Syria since Joe Biden became president. We've

779
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 11: seen hundreds of attacks on American troops in Syria and Iraq,

780
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 11: and we all see a lot of people talking about

781
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 11: and unfortunately, I think it's probably true the forces that

782
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 11: we're sending, the forces that the Biden administration is sending

783
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 11: to Gaza, will also be vulnerable to attacks from Iranian

784
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 11: proxies in particular Hamas as well as Palestinian Islamic Jiad.

785
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, when's this whole thing going to end? When's

786
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: this whole thing going to wrap up? How is it

787
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: gonna end? Israel's winning, right, I mean you can't tell

788
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: from the news.

789
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: Well, no, you're You're right.

790
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 8: Israel is winning.

791
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 11: It's an extremely hard, extremely a hard battle to fight. Look,

792
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 11: I mean, I think, Jesse, let's separate out here the

793
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 11: interests of the Biden administration and the interests of ordinary

794
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 11: Americans and the interest of American peace and prosperity. Americans

795
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 11: have an interest in an Iranian proxy getting throttled in Gaza.

796
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 11: This is good for ordinary Americans, it's good for American interest,

797
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 11: it's good for American peace and prosperity. You heard Donald

798
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 11: Trump saying the other day when he was asked about it,

799
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 11: he'd say he would tell net Yahoo to get it

800
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 11: done and get it done quickly.

801
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 8: That's what should happen.

802
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 11: But we see the Biden administration has done everything possible

803
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 11: to slow down the Israelis time. I mean again, so

804
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 11: it's in the American interest for the Israelis to get

805
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 11: this done and as quickly as possible. And I should

806
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 11: say American allies around the region, especially in the Gulf,

807
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 11: the Saudis, the Amords. None of these people like Hamas.

808
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 11: None of these people liked the Iranians. Of course, they're

809
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 11: upset because of what's happening too, in so far as

810
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 11: there are many ordinary Palestinian citizens that are upset about that,

811
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 11: but the idea that Hamas is being destroyed. Every genuine

812
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 11: American partner around the region is hoping for the destruction

813
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 11: of Hamas.

814
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: Leeke, thank you, my brother. I appreciate it. All right,

815
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: we have light in the mood yest h right, it

816
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: is time to lighten the mood. And did you ever

817
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: see that show Wife Swap? Don't worry it It was

818
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: a PG show. I never actually watched it, but the

819
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: wife did. My wife did, and it would be on

820
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: occasionally in the background and walking around the house, and

821
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: I mean it was one of those weird shows that

822
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: it would make.

823
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,920
