1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: There were signs of the strikes on Iran everywhere, so

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: why was the media so silent? We're hoping to bring

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: you an angle that you might not have heard from anybody,

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: because everybody has been talking about this. There's apparently also

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: a musical regarding the guy who killed the CEO, allegedly

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: in New York, to show how depraved and disgusting our

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: country unfortunately has become, or at least the culture. And

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: speaking of the culture, the President makes an announcement, actually

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: a surprising announcement on the White House Correspondence dinner. There

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: is so much to get to Thanks so much for

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: tuning in. My name is Joe Bob. The show starts

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: right now. Did you guys hear that the United States

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: attacked Iran over the weekend. I'm not sure if anybody's

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: been talking about that. I don't know if it's been

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: a new big news story or anything.

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: Just kidding.

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: I assume that if you're watching this show, you're fully aware,

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: and you've also probably taken in a ton of commentary

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: on the topic, and so because of that, rather than

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: kind of reiterate all of the same things, there is

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: a point that I would like to discuss that maybe

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: hopefully you haven't heard just yet. ATPSA dot com is

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: the email address I know I mentioned yesterday. I would

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: love your thoughts on this. We got several emails from

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: frequent correspondence as well as new people emailing as TPT

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: at tpusa dot com or leave a comment wherever it

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: is that you happen to be watching this. And remember,

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: if those emails are discussing vile, bigoted, and just downright nasty,

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: it'll actually fit in with the tenor of this show.

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: Got a wide range of opinions too on the email

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: line that we'll get to in our Mailbak segment. And again,

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: if you'd like to be included in that Mailbak segment,

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: tpt at tpusa dot com. Now for a point that

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I haven't necessarily seen in a ton of places or

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: really anywhere, that I do think is important and hopefully

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: isn't something that you've heard over and over and over again.

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: On Saturday, February twenty eighth, America woke up to a

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: war with Iran and it felt like somebody had flipped

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: a switch overnight. But here's the part that nobody's really

40
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: talking about. Nobody really wants to admit is that it

41
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: wasn't at all, in any way, shape or form a shock,

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: or at the very least it shouldn't have been. The

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: signs were screaming everywhere. Carrier groups the size of small countries,

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: aircraft surges that you could literally watch on flight radar online.

45
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Destroyers were stacking up like rush hour traffic in Los Angeles.

46
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: Even troops dinner plates were giving away glaring signs that

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: something was about to happen. The evidence was public, as

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: one Military Times headline puts it, So why did the

49
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: national conversation effectively in the lead up to the attack

50
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: on Iran basically stay radio silent? Why didn't it own

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: the cable news stations for weeks leading up? Because all

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: of the evidence that something was gonna happen was there.

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: We talked about it briefly on this show whenever we could,

54
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: but it wasn't this sweeping conversation that the nation took

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: part in. Why weren't we getting the NonStop are we

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: going to war panels on CNN, MSDNC or PMS now

57
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: or sorry, whatever it is that they're called now? Why

58
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: were there no panels like there would be in literally

59
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: any other crisis. This wasn't hidden in some classified vault.

60
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: It just wasn't amplified. So what we'd like to do

61
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: is walk through exactly what was visible in real time

62
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: and then asked the question why, the uncomfortable reason or

63
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: the premise. Maybe the hypothesis that I'd like to set

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: up is the silence might have been the loudest clue

65
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: of for how people on both sides of the political

66
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: aisle viewed won this step from President Trump but to

67
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: Iran more broadly, so quick contests with the context, so

68
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: this doesn't feel like it's coming out of nowhere. Iran's

69
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: nuclear program was a big problem. It's this never ending

70
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: pressure cooker between the United States and Iran and the

71
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: tense relation that we had for them. The twenty twenty

72
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: five twenty twenty six protests inside Iran basically turned into

73
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: government massacres, which was horrible to see and produced unfortunately,

74
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: a ton of images that we can't unsee. Then there

75
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: was a bunch of start and stop diplomacy Geneva one

76
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: week oman the next week, with headlines that range from

77
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: progress is being made, followed immediately.

78
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: By talks collapse.

79
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: It's like a back and forth, as emulated a bad

80
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: rom com movement. And then in mid February, Trump does

81
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: what Trump does best, really, he just goes full public.

82
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: A blunt ten day deadline was posted to truth Social

83
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: with a countdown clock and the message said, diplomacy it

84
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: is the path until it isn't, which is just like

85
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: classic Trump. Why whisper things and say things in back

86
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: channels when you can just post an odd truth social

87
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Again classic from the President. So let's rewind not to

88
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the strikes but to late January. The USS Abraham Lincoln

89
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: carrier strike group gets redirected and then shows up in

90
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: the Arabian Sea. And this is obviously not a training exercise,

91
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: that is a floating American city parking itself on Iran's doorstep.

92
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Trump then immediately starts calling it an armada on social media,

93
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: and for once, the ships in place actually matched that hype. Okay,

94
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: so early to mid February. Then it escalates, and it

95
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: escalates relatively quickly. The world biggest carrier, the brand new

96
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: USS Gerald Ford, plus a full escort of fleets, gets

97
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: re routed. Defense reporters call it the largest naval presence

98
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: in the region in decades. Over one hundred and fifty

99
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: extra US aircraft F thirty fives, F twenty two's tankers

100
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: flood the bases in the Gulf all the way to Europe.

101
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: You literally could watch satellite photos update daily, if not

102
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: even hourly. Empty desert runways were you know what we

103
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: saw one week and the next week is like a

104
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: parking lot at Costco. On a Saturday, the Military Times

105
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: ran a headline the biggest US build up since the

106
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and three Iraq invasion. Okay, this is not

107
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: some blogger, these are actual reports. Cargo planes, pallets of

108
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: various supplies, ships resupply, more destroyers, more support ships, munition, airlifts.

109
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: And the best part about all of this, not the

110
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: best part about all this, but the most glory glaring

111
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: part about all of this is US troops even started

112
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: getting the legendary surf and turf meals, steak, lobster tails,

113
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: crab legs. There's one mess hall video that was forwarded

114
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: from a base that hit like a million, couple millions

115
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: of views in the first forty eight hours, and the

116
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: caption was last supper before Ron Again. Kind of haunting,

117
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: but a glaring point to what's about to happen. Soldiers

118
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: were filming themselves cracking lobster tails and commenting either we're

119
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: getting ready to invade or the Navy.

120
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: Really really loves us this week.

121
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: In my personal opinion, I wish the Navy would do

122
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: that for our soldiers more often. But we can draw

123
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: our conclusions from what was happening in bases in mess halls.

124
00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: For the US military, Military dot Com, WION, the Hindus

125
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: ten times all ran stories about the development meal theory

126
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: because it seemed to be kind of like an ongoing

127
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: meme when the surf and turf shows up, pack your bags.

128
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: One dinner obviously doesn't start a war. But when you

129
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: stack that dinner plus a bunch of other things going on,

130
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: even domestically reporting with various groups taking it seriously but

131
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: not having the amplication amplification that it usually does. When

132
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: you stack that all next to two carrier groups and

133
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty military jets, the picture starts to

134
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: get way less fuzzy and way more sharp. In the

135
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: final days leading up to the attacks on Iran, talks

136
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: in Geneva collapsed yet again. Trump's deadline hit zero. Carriers

137
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: then began to move in striking range, and then February

138
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: twenty eighth arrives. And here's the part that you can't

139
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: really spin. None of this was a secret. Like we've

140
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: talked about for the last several minutes, everything was known

141
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: to the public, public ship trackers, open source satellite photos,

142
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: mainstream reporting. Even so, the real question is not how

143
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: did this happen? It's more of why didn't anybody treat

144
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: this like it was happening?

145
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: Now?

146
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: To be fair, it wasn't like total media silence. Specialist

147
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: reports from the Military, Times, BBC, the AP. They all

148
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: did their jobs. They tracked every carrier movement and even

149
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: quoted this is the largest force in decades on the line,

150
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: and ran satellite pictures to prove it. But it never

151
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: really broke out in a way that conflicts like this

152
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: generally would. It never led primetime. David Muhr wasn't on

153
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: ABC talking about the potential Iranian attacks at any point. Yeah,

154
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: maybe it was mentioned in like the fifth block of

155
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: the show, but it didn't lead the way that usually

156
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: this stuff does. It never spawned to this wall to

157
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: wall panels screaming are.

158
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: We going to war? Are we not?

159
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Are we sleepwalking? What is it that we're doing? Instead,

160
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the country was busy arguing about literally everything else. The

161
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: protests in the streets over federal agencies doing their jobs,

162
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: which is not controversial in any way, shape or form,

163
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: except for the fact that libbs wanted to make it

164
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: controversial for some reason. Nobody was talking about this going

165
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: into it, and when the strike finally hit, interestingly enough,

166
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: the coverage flipped overnight to well, this was inevitable, like

167
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: there was this big build up with background noise the

168
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: entire time. So the question that I'm curious about is, well,

169
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: why wasn't this a bigger story leading up to now?

170
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Obviously after the strikes, everybody has an opinion, all of

171
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: the commentators, whether they love Trump, whether they hate Trump.

172
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: It's either good or bad, or a ton of that

173
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: already happened or sorry, happening post the attack. My question is,

174
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: why wasn't this happening before then? And does the fact

175
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: that it wasn't happening maybe lead us to believe that

176
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: we should give President Trump more credit or if you're

177
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: against it, more grace, because maybe there is more consensus

178
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: there than we may have thought. Now, the people that

179
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: are very skeptical about this totally get it.

180
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: A lot of us have war.

181
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: Fatigue, after Afghanistan, after Iraq, after a bunch of domestic

182
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: headlines that just are ridiculous and crazy, Do we really

183
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: need to go out and do other things around the world.

184
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: But I think the real reason that there was no

185
00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: media coverage actually highlights to the necessity in a weird way.

186
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: There might have been as evidenced by the lack of

187
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: conversation bipartisan agreement, which of course doesn't really ever happen

188
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: in this country anymore. And again nobody is out there saying, well,

189
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: this is definitely happening. But to me, the media, especially

190
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: the Libs, especially the Libs that love to hate Trump,

191
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: didn't do so in this particular, glaringly obvious incident, maybe

192
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: because they agreed with him on it. Now, it's not

193
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: style on this point. Trump has never been accused of

194
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: being subtle. The argument that I'm thinking making is that

195
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: the core truth, the bipartisan truth here, is that Iran

196
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: is was hopefully was still kind of is a dangerous regime.

197
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: Its nuclear program is completely unacceptable, and if talks fail,

198
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: decisive action needs to be on the table. And thank god,

199
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: President Trump leaves decisive action on the table. What we

200
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: don't want is Kamala Harris saying don't, or President Biden

201
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: saying don't, or President Obama saying here is the red line.

202
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Do not cross this red line. And when they crossed

203
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: the red line, he goes ash, shucks, what are you

204
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna do? That is the last thing that the American

205
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: people need and the last thing a leader of the

206
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: most powerful country in the world should do. Even longtime

207
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: critics of President Trump, from Senate Libbs who voted for

208
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: tough sanctions in past foreign wars, even people who called

209
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: him reckless and I can't believe he's doing this.

210
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: All quietly nodded along. Why.

211
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: My only conclusion is, well, maybe they agreed. You see,

212
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: the muted pre strike commentary criticism wasn't even about what

213
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: it usually is about. It was about the process. Congress

214
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: needs to have a say, the president doesn't have the

215
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: power to do this. The conversation wasn't ron isn't really

216
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: a threat, which again leads me to believe that both

217
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: sides basically agreed that the adversary here, the Iranian regime,

218
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: is bad news. The partisan fireworks fizzled, and when the

219
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: partisan fireworks fizzled, media megaphone gets turned down, turns out

220
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: consensus is actually terrible for ratings, whether you like it

221
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: or not. So here's where we're left with. The evidence

222
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: was entirely public that something was going to happen. It

223
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: seems to be that even libs in Congress who weren't

224
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: saying anything about this, agreed that the threat was real.

225
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I happen to think the threat was real. Also, you

226
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: can disagree, and you can send your emails tpt ATPUSA

227
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: dot com. And the national conversation was missing, not because

228
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: nobody could see it coming, because you know, on a

229
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: ra everybody understands this is a big problem, but instead

230
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: because everybody kind of largely agreed with the direction. At

231
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: least that's what I think. So here's where the hard

232
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: questions begin. Does the kind of quiet consensus that let

233
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: America let President Trump do what he thought was right,

234
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: does that allow America to move faster on speedy matters

235
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: or does it mean that there's gonna be less scrutiny

236
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: on these types of massive global situations that matter a lot.

237
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: I know that question is still up in the air,

238
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: but I think ultimately what we're drawing here is that

239
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: the conclusion that we can take from this is that

240
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: because there was nobody pointing any of this stuff out.

241
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: It effectively, to me sounds some sort of approval that

242
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really ever come from the Libs or the lefty

243
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: side of the aisle for what President Trump is doing now,

244
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: what happened, happens next, or whatever happens in the region.

245
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: We'll all find out together either this was gonna be

246
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: a fantastic strategy strategy or it's gonna be a terrible thing.

247
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Obviously I hope it won't be. But there are several

248
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: people on our side of the political aisle that don't

249
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: like this, and that that's fair, especially considering our past

250
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. But in this particular instance, in

251
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: the lead up to this, I think the loudest part

252
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: was the silence. Now for what I think about this

253
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: more broadly, you know, past the legality, past the complaints

254
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: from the usual lib suspects, past the like effectively support

255
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,359
Speaker 1: by unfortunately from some crazy people in Congress, one congresswoman

256
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: in illan Omar or congress woman treated to lib or

257
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: any of those stuff. What do I think past all

258
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: of that? I tend to carry a very similar view

259
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: to what Charlie had this past June. Clearly, the president

260
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: is operating on more information than we are. And just

261
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: as Charlie said when we struck Iran for the first

262
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: time last year, when President Trump and his this administration

263
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: shrunk the last year, is well, support the guy. And

264
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: some people may not think that that's necessarily a good argument,

265
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: but clearly the American people have supported President Trump with

266
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: their votes multiple times. And therefore the main thing that

267
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: I think we'll all see now is well, she's got.

268
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: To watch this play out.

269
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, the acceptability or in other words, whether or

270
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: not the American people approve or disapprove of US intervention

271
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: in foreign affairs is almost entirely dependent on the outcome

272
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: like it or not. If things go poorly, eh, we're

273
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: not really big fans, or if things go.

274
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: Well, oh that was a great idea.

275
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: If they go well and only this thing only ends

276
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: up lasting like a few weeks, just like President Trump

277
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: and Secretary of War Pete heggsas say it will, I

278
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: think this will come across as the same way that

279
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: the strikes in June did with general support. So ultimately

280
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: that's what we should hope for. This is short, quick, decisive,

281
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: and at little cost to the American people, and if

282
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: that's the case, I think a lot of us will

283
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: ultimately at the end of the day, despite whatever the

284
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: polling says right now, will approve of what President Trump

285
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: decided to do. And I do think there is a

286
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: big factor in the fact that nobody was talking about it,

287
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: which to me has some amount of complicity in also

288
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: in the understanding of this needed to happen from people

289
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: who never agree with President Trump. We hope that it's swift,

290
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: we hope that it's decisive, and we hope there is

291
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: as little cost as possible to the United States of America.

292
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: And if anyone, in my opinion, can execute something like

293
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: this with efficiency and effectiveness, it's the businessman in the

294
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: White House.

295
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: Send along your thoughts.

296
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: Tpt at TPUSA dot com would love to hear how

297
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: you think about this, Like I said, or trying to

298
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: get like another angle to this, because so many people

299
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: have talked about so many different things, I haven't yet

300
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: seen much regarding the Hey, nobody was talking about this

301
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: leading up to it, and maybe that's somewhat important. I

302
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: happen to think it actually is very important, and it

303
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: chows in my opinion, at least some amount of support

304
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: for what President Trump was doing. And I think there

305
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: are libs in both houses that say I can't support

306
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: the guy publicly, but I am sure happy that we

307
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: have a president that will actually take action when he

308
00:19:54,080 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: sets parameters that people inevitably cross, people enemies inevitably cross.

Speaker 1: several headlines from around the news media that are interesting,

313
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: some fun, some worth talking about.

314
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after the breakdokaway, do you actually

315
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: know about Iran?

316
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 3: Persia was a great power and then Iran took a

317
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: turn for the worst. Interestingly enough, there was the Shaw

318
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: of Iran, and then the Shaw was displaced by no

319
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: Sera Days. Day was democratically elected. Now, to be very fair,

320
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 3: the United States and Britain got rid of most like

321
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: Day and then we reinstalled the Shaw. Bad decision, which

322
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: then led to the Iranian Revolution where radical Islam took

323
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: over Iran. Look at some of these pictures what Iran

324
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: used to be. It was wealthy, it was proud, it

325
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: was strong. The Persians are wonderful people.

326
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: Some of my.

327
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 3: Closest friends are Persians, and I love the Persian people,

328
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: and we should have a heart for the Persian people

329
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: to try and have a better future. Regime change is

330
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: very difficult to talk about. I actually don't like talking

331
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 3: about regime change. It's very complicated. But understand that there

332
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: can be brighter days ahead for the Iranian people. And

333
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 3: just look at some of these pictures of how beautiful

334
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 3: Iran used to be, how beautiful Tehran used to be,

335
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: And it's very easy to kind of sit in your

336
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: Western armchair and be like, oh, Israel's terrible. Well, you

337
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: were able to enjoy free speech rights and a lot

338
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 3: of rights here in the West that Iran used to have,

339
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: and if you are serious about actually protecting human rights,

340
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: you should want to make Iran Western again.

341
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: Turning point USA, you recently shared that old clip of

342
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: Charlie who I think, you know, more broadly like zoom

343
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: out to this particular issue. I think that was one

344
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: of the things that he was so great at, and

345
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: I think we all would hope to continue the nuance

346
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: around certain things global affairs, domestic affairs. But really it's

347
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: more complicated than you know, an easy you know, one liner.

348
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: This or there. President Trump is good, President Trump is bad.

349
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Guy's dealing with a lot of very complex, complicated situations

350
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: and that's what the president's job is to do. And

351
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: we the people elect the guy who can, we think,

352
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: in the best of our opinion, in the best of

353
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: his opinion, do those things.

354
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: So that's wow.

355
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, nuance and particularities matter, and Charlie was the best

356
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: at making sure that those had a space in the conversation.

357
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: It is time to jump around the news of the

358
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: day and get to the point, to get to the phone.

359
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: All right, well, we are starting off on a on

360
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: a down note. I guess, holy cow, this is crazy

361
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: from Breitbart. Luigi Mangione Musical will play miles from the

362
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: murder scene. You know, before we get any into any

363
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: of this particulars about this, just generally speaking, you don't

364
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: want to be on the side of death. That just

365
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: seems like a baseline standard that we should all set.

366
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: If you are pro.

367
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: People being murdered in cold blood, that's not the right

368
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: side of the aisle to be on. If you're pro

369
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: babies being murdered, that's not that's not the right side

370
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: of the aisle to be on. And now again, there's

371
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: there's pushback from lib saying, well, you know you're okay

372
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: with attacking Iran and and potentially harming civilians there. Okay,

373
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: So then that I mean, revert back to literally what

374
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: we just talked about. There's nuance, there's complex situations here.

375
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: This is not one of those situations where nuance is

376
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: required and is necessary. From the evidence, it looks like

377
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: this dude just shot a CEO in the back. That

378
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: is not like old but the ceo was rich. Nope,

379
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't factor in here at all. And yet the

380
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Libs are holding this guy in some sort of esteem

381
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: because back to our earlier point, they for some reason

382
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: are on the side of death, which is not where

383
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: you want to be. A comedic musical entitled Luigi the

384
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: Musical Good God, These People is set to premiere in

385
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: New York City this summer, just miles away from the

386
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: location where Luigi Mangioni allegedly murdered the United Healthcare CEO

387
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: Brian Thompson in December of twenty twenty four. The show

388
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: has already been a hit in San Francisco. Holy cow,

389
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: this has already been running. Fictionalizes the time in which

390
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't even want it.

391
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 2: This is this is insane. There's some more like.

392
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: It's just insane. I I can't believe there are theaters

393
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: that are willing to host this. And and look there

394
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: there are thoughts places where my mind goes that I

395
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: don't like, but they just kind of inherently go there.

396
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: I won't share them with you, but if you have

397
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: any of those thoughts, tpt at tpusa dot com. The

398
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 1: irony of getting together to gather to gather together and

399
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: celebrate a heinous murder is just the fact that it's not.

400
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't it doesn't seem to be like understood by

401
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: those people who go to see this god awful thing.

402
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: The fact that the irony is lost on them is

403
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: is mind boggling to me. All right, Well to some

404
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: life hearted news, I think some lighter affair. This from CNN.

405
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: President Trump says he will attend the White House Correspondence

406
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: Dinner for the first time as president. We all remember

407
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: and we all know what the White House Correspondence Dinner is.

408
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: It's usually this fun gala where you know you've got

409
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: reporters there. But over the last twenty years, the White

410
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: House Correspondence Dinner has become terrible for lack of a

411
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: better word, because when it was Obama, literally the media

412
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: loved everything about Obama, so like, yeah, we'll make fun

413
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: of him, but we'll all laugh because we all know

414
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: that we really really love this guy. So then President

415
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: Trump gets an office twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen technically and says, yeah,

416
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go there and just be a punching bag.

417
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. We need a more fair media.

418
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: The media coverage of me has been insane, So I'm

419
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: not gonna go and that, unfortunately has been the standard

420
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: for the last what ten years. President Trump has been like, yeah,

421
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna just be up there

422
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: and be a punching bag for these people who I

423
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: no hate me. Obviously, the Biden White House was like, yeah,

424
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: we'll go to this because they all love us. But

425
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: I think this is actually pretty big news. President Donald

426
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: Trump announced today via truth Social that he will attend

427
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: the White House Correspondence dinner for the first time as president,

428
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: making a reversal from what CNNs as are his boycotts

429
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: from the first term and the prior year of his

430
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: second term. Trump stated that the White House Correspondence Association

431
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: invited him very nicely to be the honoree of the

432
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: April twenty fifth dinner, which is my wife's birthday. So

433
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: I can't host that.

434
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: That's probably the reason why I wasn't asked.

435
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: You know, usually, you know, I probably would have been

436
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: asked to host, especially if Trump's going to be there,

437
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: But fortunately I can't make it.

438
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: That's my wife's birthday.

439
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: He plans to make it, according to the Truth Social Post,

440
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: the greatest, hottest, most spectacular dinner of any kind ever

441
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: in honor of the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. Now,

442
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: the associations presidents welcome Trump's exception acceptance to the invitation

443
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: and expressed looking forward to hosting him at the traditional

444
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: events that celebrates the First Amendment. Now, to be a

445
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: fly on the wall in those rooms would be hilarious.

446
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean, just just picture this with me. The White

447
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: House Correspondence Association, who all entirely just really really disliked

448
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: the president outside of like Fox News, Real America's Voice

449
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: and like a couple other conservative media outlets, everybody hates

450
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: this guy. And they said, well, you know, out of formality,

451
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: we got to send him an invitation. They don't expect

452
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: him to come, he's never come before, and so he goes,

453
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm coming. I would imagine inside the White House Correspondence Office,

454
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: Association Office, they're going, Holy cow, he's actually gonna come.

455
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what is this is gonna be terrible.

456
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what he's doing. He's just like setting those

457
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: people up and now they're going to have to deal

458
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: with him being there. Fascinating This from Newsmax the Trump

459
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: Administration's next target is Cuba. Now there's a lot of

460
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: nuance and this is kind of just speculation, obviously, but

461
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: the headline of Newsmax and Cuba, the Trump administration is

462
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: preparing to make Cuba it's next major foreign project after

463
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: recent US action in Iran and Venezuela.

464
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: This reminds me of.

465
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: Just the the Marco Rubio testifying the testimony that he

466
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: gave where somebody asked, hey, you know you can you

467
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: promise that there will be no regime change in Cuba,

468
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: and Rubio, whose family fled Cuba, said no, no, we'd love

469
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: to see a regime change. Actually, the regime there is

470
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: terrible and awful to its people and not a good

471
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: alley to the United States, and they're within very close

472
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: proximity of our country.

473
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, we would love to see the regime change there.

474
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: Obviously twisted the question, but was hilarious.

475
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump revealed I guess that Secretary Rubio is

476
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: engaged in high level talks with Cuban leaders, including figures

477
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: connected to the Castro family. Floated the possibility of a

478
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: friendly takeover of Cuba amid the islands severe economic crisis.

479
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: In other words, communism doesn't work, and you have to

480
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: have the United States save them. There is I would

481
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: be super curious tpt ATBUSA dot com if you'd like

482
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: to send along thoughts to this. Obviously, people from you know,

483
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: third world countries just coming in and destroying the place

484
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: as bad. But I've always been very open to Cuban

485
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: immigrants who come here legally because they tend to be

486
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: the most conservative, because they've seen exactly what socialist communist

487
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 1: policies do to your homeland. So hey, you know, you know,

488
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, different, different scenario. I'm not sure if I

489
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: want their They have statehoods, saying with Washington d C.

490
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: The whole statehood thing, I mean Washington C's different, different story.

491
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Because it's the seat of the federal government. Constitutionally, they

492
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: can't be stated anyways. A lot of those places very

493
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: very skeptical. Cuba, on the other hand, I'm open to

494
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: mostly because I think the Cubans predominantly would vote conservatively,

495
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: like ninety five percent of the time. So I'd be

496
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: very curious to hear your emails. Tpt at tbusa dot com. Oh,

497
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: we got to keep moving this through. This one from

498
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: CNN America's founding documents fly out of nation's capital for

499
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: the first time on the Freedom Plane as a part.

500
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: Of this tour.

501
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: I guess that the first documents are going on. This

502
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: is the first time they have left the nation's capital.

503
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: Is this ever for the first time in US history?

504
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: Wow?

505
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: US history. Several documents are flying around now. The Freedom

506
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: Plane is a Boeing seven thirty seven owned by Boeing

507
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: in partnership with the National Archives. Took off from Ron

508
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Reagan Washington National Airport and is making several stops and

509
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: it's an inaugural tour. One in Kansas City, Missouri, is

510
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: a part of a nationwide tour that's running through August.

511
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 1: I would love to see those this is gonna make

512
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: me sound like a nerd. I was in the bedroom

513
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: last night and my wife came and say, what you're

514
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: doing as I'm just reading the Declaration of Independence because

515
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: I was I don't like I just I it was

516
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: on on my night's stand and I had just picked

517
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: it up and started reading it. And it really is

518
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: fascinating because there are so many libs now. I think

519
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: this makes it pertinent. It's fascinting because there's so many

520
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: libs now that are like, well, it's time for a revolution,

521
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: It's time we do what the founding fathers did and

522
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: invoke violence to take back this country.

523
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: That's crazy, and it clearly shows that those types people.

524
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: Have never read the Declaration of Independence. The majority of

525
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: it is the long list of grievances as to why

526
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: the thirteen colonies need to leave England.

527
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: Right. The whole thing is like, hey, here's what we

528
00:32:59,320 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: here's what we believe.

529
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: If we hold these treets to be self evident, that

530
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: all men are created equal, and among them are inabable rights.

531
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Among them are which life, liberty, pursuit of happen is

532
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: all of those things, this is what we believe. Short section,

533
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: very long section are the reasons. Why tell me the

534
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: reasons why the left thinks there needs to be a

535
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: violent overhaul and compare that to the declaration of independence.

536
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: They don't even compare. We are nowhere near the situation

537
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: that the founders and the Thirteen Colonies were in with

538
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: England when they needed when they decided, hey, this is

539
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: worth a war to separate ourselves here. If you were

540
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: to list the grievances that the Libs have today, it

541
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: would be like minuscule and laughable compared to what the

542
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: founders of this nation were going through. Holy Cow, I

543
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: think that's all the time we have to We will wi.

544
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: There were a couple more headlines, but it was a

545
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: worthwhile discussion on things we will come up with. Official business.

546
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: There's lots official business floating around the media escape nowadays.

547
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: And the official business, if you don't know, is the

548
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: official people in their capacities as officials being official in

549
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: their official business.

550
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: Mostly just wanted to say officials many times.

551
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: T tps dot com is the email address if you'd

552
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms.

553
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: Those are more than welcome at the tpt email address.

554
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: Will be right back after the breakdowk away.

555
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 4: Let's make no mistake, there was no imminent threat from Iran.

556
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 4: Our nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. We were engaged in

557
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 4: serious diplomatic negotiations for the second time. The United States

558
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: true force our diplomacy and violated the Charter. There are

559
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 4: no got ground that justified this attack. The so called

560
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 4: preemptive attack has no basis international law.

561
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: I think people should watch this sort of stuff more often.

562
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: I think we should see because what it really does

563
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: is give you a deeper insight into the willingness of politicians,

564
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: not only just in America but just globally as seen

565
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: here at the UN to just lie. Like politicians will

566
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: get up there and be like, we are in accordance

567
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: with international law, as if that's a thing, Like as

568
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: if international law is a thing. Now, dude, you weren't

569
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: you pound sand? You got a lot of it over there.

570
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: And people need to see and understand how willing politicians

571
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: from all stripes will just lie to people's faces.

572
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh it is.

573
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: This is my favorite part of the day, where we

574
00:35:51,920 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: get to official business. The first step in official business.

575
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: We sometimes organize these in a way that make more

576
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: of a better trajectory as we go forward. Usually start

577
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: out with crazy people and then get our way to sanity.

578
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: But today we're not really doing that. We're going what

579
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: I think is probably one of the more important questions. Now,

580
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: we talked earlier on the show obviously about the lack

581
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: of discussion around this Iranian attack on Iran, But now

582
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: there's obviously the discussion of, well, what I hate Trump,

583
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: therefore those are the bad was the worst thing ever.

584
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: Margot Rubio, the Secretary of State, fired back when asked

585
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: a couple of these questions. Here is a Secretary Rubio

586
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: giving some official business lessons to the lamestream media.

587
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: Cut six.

588
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 5: Congress.

589
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: What we did?

590
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 6: We notified Congress. I mean we notified the Gang of A.

591
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 6: We notified the congressional leadership. There's no law that requires

592
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 6: us to do that. The law says we have to

593
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 6: notify them forty eight hours after beginning hostilities. We've done that.

594
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 6: I think the notification went today. But we did notify

595
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 6: members of Congress in advance. But we can't notify five

596
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 6: hundred and thirty five members of Congress. Well, the Congress

597
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 6: can vote on whatever they want, but there's no law

598
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 6: that requires us to do that, And I want to

599
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 6: say something because I see people on TV. Look, that's fine,

600
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 6: if they want to take a war powers vote, they

601
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 6: can do that. They've done that, They've done that a

602
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 6: bunch of times. But there's no people keep saying that

603
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 6: we have there's no law that requires the president to

604
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 6: have done anything with regards to this to begin with,

605
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 6: no presidential administration has ever accepted the War Powers Act

606
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 6: as constitutional. Not Republican presidents, not democratic presidents that said,

607
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 6: we have followed the notification at forty eight hours.

608
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 2: We're here today.

609
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 6: I've done more Gang of Eight briefings then I got

610
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 6: in the four years that Biden was president and I

611
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 6: was a member of the Gang of Eight. All of

612
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 6: that said, we've complied with the law one hundred percent,

613
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 6: and we're going to continue to comply with it.

614
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: We Yeah, the lives are freaking out about this, like, oh,

615
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: you should have notified Congress. Now think of the practicality

616
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: behind that. You don't think that some of the five

617
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five members would have leaked all of

618
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: this sort of stuff and put us lives in danger,

619
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: more danger than they would have been in the necessity

620
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: of the strike on a rent Again, I have my

621
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: opinion on that. You can disagree TPT ATPUSA dot com.

622
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: But you want to talk about putting troops even.

623
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: More danger that.

624
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they would have gone through and done all

625
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: of those things and actually declared war, which this wasn't.

626
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a quick second. Yet,

627
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: no shot that all five hundred and thirty five members

628
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: would have kept their mouth shut. Would They would have

629
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: been on CNN, MSNBC in the next hour. So that's

630
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: probably the reason why. Now the question is though, do

631
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: you have to do that to strike a foreign country?

632
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: Is that required?

633
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: Well? The Libs say no, but were they always saying that?

634
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: Here is former Speaker of the House at the time

635
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: the was a House Minority leader one Nancy Pelosi when

636
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: being asked, hey, does does Obama need authorization for all

637
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: of this stuff?

638
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: In Libya?

639
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 7: Uh?

640
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: Does he? Does he have the ability to do that?

641
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: Here's what you said, Clip seven.

642
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: Figuring Adam leader. You're saying that the president did not

643
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: need authorization initially and still does not need any.

644
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 7: Authorization from Congress one Libya.

645
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you all very much.

646
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: Oh oh uh huh r okay, So maybe it's I

647
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just I'm just is it a race

648
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: racial thing? Like do black presidents not need to get

649
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: congressional approval where white presidents do? I don't know, and

650
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: I don't think they just make everything about race. I'm

651
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: just curious why the standard has now flipped. I don't know.

652
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just curious.

653
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 2: Uh.

654
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: There's there's a couple of other official business things that

655
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: are would like to get to, but unfortunately we don't

656
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: have time. If we want to get to a mail

657
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: bag part, which is my favorite part. TPT at TPUSA

658
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: dot com. This has been official business. Thanks for tuning in.

659
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after the break with what is

660
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: what do we call? In today's Tuesday? Take into the

661
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: streets Tuesday, I think I think is going to be

662
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: We'll see if that sticks, but we will take to

663
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: the streets to ask dumb people who are taking to

664
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: the streets very funny questions.

665
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: We'll be right back to the break, TPTTBUSA dot Com.

666
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 5: Don't go away.

667
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 8: Do you want to know what it's like living in

668
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 8: Bend Organ. I'm walking my dog and the girl that

669
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 8: just passed me was running on the trail barefoot.

670
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: With journ all over her face.

671
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 8: In February, and then the guy right behind her was

672
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 8: marrying a Maga hat and listening out loud to a

673
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 8: pro Trump pro ice podcast. A big fan of the girl,

674
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 8: a big fan of the guy. But if that doesn't

675
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 8: sum up Bend, I don't know what.

676
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: Does I love Bend Oregon? I I it's one, it's

677
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: just beautiful. But two, it is exactly what this lady

678
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: is saying. Obviously I don't agree with her perspective on things,

679
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: but it is the mishmash of like hippie extreme, like

680
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: don't tree huggers, barefoot, dirty, just crazy, and then you've

681
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: got like the Maga guys, and it's just it's just

682
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: it's fantastic.

683
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 2: I love it.

684
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: I actually have a friend who lives in Bend, Oregon

685
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: who I believe is a police officer, and I wonder

686
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: if that was him, big time Maga guy, maybe could

687
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: see all right.

688
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 2: It's two.

689
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: We don't have a stinger for this quite yet, mostly

690
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: because you don't know, I don't know what's gonna sticker

691
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: what isn't. But I thought taking to the streets Tuesday,

692
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, works alliteration wise, So we're taking to the streets.

693
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: First comes a clip from the streets where there's protests

694
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: going on about Iran. It's I mean, there's several comical

695
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: elements of it, but we'll just play you this clip

696
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: of somebody who has taken to the streets to be

697
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: pro fascism, pretending to be anti fascism but ultimately just

698
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: being confused.

699
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 2: Is cut eleven.

700
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 8: Would you rather that we be allies with Iran than Israel?

701
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

702
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: Sure, I think.

703
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 9: I think allying with Israel is one of the most

704
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 9: fascist and dangerous actions or the US to take. Okay,

705
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 9: and what makes that fascist versus allying with Iran. You're

706
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 9: the man, the fascist and studying political ideologies. You understand

707
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 9: what fascism is and it is not Iran.

708
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Iran is not is not oppressive at all. They

709
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: are not fascists. You know who is.

710
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: The countries that have free speech, those people are the fascists.

711
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: You know. There's lots of things to be said here. One.

712
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: I do think this is ultimately a intelligent issue. Libs

713
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: for some reason, love to float.

714
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: I have this.

715
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: Degree from this institution, I have a master's degree in this.

716
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: But also libs have lowered the standards and thresholds to

717
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: receive those one probably because it's easier to get student loans,

718
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: and two of these students make the Sorry, the schools

719
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: make a ton of money off of these idiots.

720
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 2: But bottom line here is they love.

721
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: To use this sort of thing as well if you

722
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: study the political ideology of the and then just factually

723
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: state wrong things. The one thing I'll say on this

724
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: is I thought was fascinating The Handsmaid's Tale, and if

725
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: you don't, if you're not familiar with that series, I

726
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: haven't watched it either. It is apparently a series in

727
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: which women are oppressed and it's actually awful. They are

728
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: forced to do whatever it is that you know, their overlords,

729
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: the dictator wants them to do. They are required to

730
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: wear these specific Handmaid's outfits and it's just terrible and oppressive.

731
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: And people women dressed as that to protest. Donald Trump

732
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: hasn't done any of those things. And those very people

733
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: who said we are oppressed, this is awful. They're forcing

734
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: us to wear these specific things then protested against the

735
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: US strikes on the country that did those very things.

736
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're unfamiliar with what Islamic regimes

737
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: do specifically, in Iran, specifically around women. But the irony

738
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: is so delicious that it's just like I can't.

739
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: I can't.

740
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: Mostly it's because these people have no actual ideological basis

741
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: for anything. They just try to use a moral argument

742
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: for which they have none themselves. Okay, one more. This

743
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: is Turning Point content creator. I'm not sure what his

744
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: official title is, but Bo Diddle on the streets asking

745
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: take into the streets on a Tuesday.

746
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: This is cut twelve.

747
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: America the greatest country in the world.

748
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 9: No, if you were offered a one way ticket to

749
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 9: leave the country, never, but it's all expenses paid, would

750
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 9: you accept that offer.

751
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: For I don't. I don't think that I would leave.

752
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 8: I wouldn't leave either.

753
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm an idiot. I am in the world's

754
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: worst pizza restaurant. Let's make up a pizza restaurant that

755
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: has terrible pizza. Call it I don't know, Chuck E Cheese.

756
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: And there's a fantastic pizza restaurant just across the parking lot.

757
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: And you say, I hate this pizza place, this that

758
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm currently in, I will never leave, even though I

759
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: can't stand the very creepy animatronics.

760
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: And then someone goes, well, do you want to go

761
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 2: across the street.

762
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: There's a Michelin rated pizza places across the street.

763
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: You want to go there?

764
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: No just no clear way to define an idiot than that. Hey,

765
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to mail BAGTPUSA dot com if you

766

770
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 7: Don't go away.

771
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,439

Speaker 8: I'm like, you.

773
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 9: Think you just fell out of a coconut tree.

774
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 8: You exist in the context of all in which you live,

775
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 8: in what came before you.

776
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 2: That was pretty good.

777
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who she's imitating right there. Let us

778
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: know a tvt at TPS dot com. If you haven't

779
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: a remember who that was. I think I think that

780
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: lady ran for pretton. Now there's no way for president.

781
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: Now let's get some let's get some mailbag comments here.

782
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting from rich rich Richard says

783
00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: libs continually say there's no imminent threat, as if the

784
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: Diyatola it runs Supreme leader didn't consistently say death to

785
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: America and no treaty when Trump asked them to, they

786
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: hid their weapons of mass destruction, never flashed around, flash

787
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: him around, and flashy parades, basically saying yeah, the regime

788
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: over there is a death cult and can't exist on

789
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: Earth together. And yet lip say that there's no imminent threat,

790
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: as if like there's a guy across the street saying, hey,

791
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to break into your house, murder your family,

792
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: and rob you. I'm saying, well, you know, I know

793
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: he's settle of those things, and I know he has

794
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: all of the capability to do that, but you have

795
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: to wait until he, you know, breaks in your house

796
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: to take any sort of action. Get out of here

797
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: with that Bill on the topic of a run, pretty

798
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: much all this is run, it says. My only complaint

799
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: is that I believe that if we're not out in

800
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: a month or less, the optics will hurt in the midterms.

801
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's more than the midterms. Bill,

802
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: I understand where you're from. I think this is bigger

803
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: than you know, the midterms and the elections. But I

804
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: do think, yeah, being out in a month or so

805
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: is is the stated goal of the Secretary of War

806
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: and the president of the United States. So hopefully that

807
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: is achievable. So yeah, there's that. Let's see. Paul says

808
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: this this should roughly last through March, which brings a

809
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: whole new meaning to March madness.

810
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, Paul. That's that's a good one.

811
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: And in the very limited time we have left, Jeff

812
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: sent an email very very angry about the attack on Iran,

813
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: and you might be angry to Tpttpstate dot com. I'd

814
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: love to engage on that front, but it basically is

815
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 1: making the claim of America first is not America First.

816
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: Got a lot of time to get into this, and Jeff,

817
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate your perspective.

818
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people have that.

819
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: I would say this from my own perspective, America First

820
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: doesn't mean isolationalism inherently.

821
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: Now. It could mean that there's less intervention.

822
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: But same time, you know, like Richard was saying earlier,

823
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: and like I think a lot of Americans hold, if

824
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: somebody says, hey, we want you all dead, I wish you.

825
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: Take them seriously. It was the Maya Angelou quote.

826
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: If somebody tells you who they are, believe them, which

827
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: by the way, is probably the first time may Angelou

828
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: has been quoted on Real America's Voice. I just just

829
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: probably speaking, but Mark first, I think is a lot

830
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: more nuanced than strictly and solely isolationalists isolationists. That's a bigger,

831
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: longer discussion that we don't necessarily have time for.

832
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: But Jeff, I appreciate the email.

833
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you who emails TPT ATBSA dot com,

834
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: especially with conflicting opinions. That is more than welcome here.

835
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: It's great to gauge where the American people are, and

836
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: you can help us do that by emailing TBT at

837
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: TPUSA dot com. Thank you so much for tuning in.

838
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate you sticking around and enjoying the show. This is

839
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,680

00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: same time, same place.

841
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: God bless America.
