<v Speaker 1>nine point one Sean. If you want to join us,

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>it is over, Linda. Did you see the latest allegation

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>of this woman speaking out against the mister Fang Fang

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Eric Swalwell, We actually have a copy of the tape.

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:30.319
<v Speaker 1>And he raped me. He choked me. While he was

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>choking me, I lost consciousness. I thought I died. I

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>believe he was I believe he drugged my drink. I

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>only had one glass of wine. I did not consent

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>to any sexual activity. He was married at the time

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and his wife was pregnant. He said he needed to

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>get paperwork from his hotel room. When I arrived to

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>his hotel room, I was already incapacitated. I couldn't move

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>my arms of my body. Listen.

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 2>I knew he was married at the time and that

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 2>his wife was pregnant. He was my friend. On the

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>third occasion, I believe he drugged my drink. I only

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>had one glass of wine. We were supposed to go

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to a political event, and he said he needed to

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>get paperwork from his hotel room. When I arrived at

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 2>his hotel room, I was already incapacitated and I couldn't

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>move my arms are my body. He raped me and

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>he choked me. And while he was choking me, I

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>lost consciousness and I thought I died. I did not

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>consent to any sexual activity.

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Now it is not the only woman that is making

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>these alsations. Here is another Eric Swalwell accuser, former staffer,

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>who alleges Swalwell sexually assaulted her in twenty twenty four

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>after a night of heavy drinking. Listen, you don't remember anything.

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 3>I remember the next day.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I can see flashes of that evening, of him on

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 4>top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 3>It was a lot more aggressive. It was aggressive. Did

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>you say no?

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I said no, I said I In my flash

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 4>that I can recall, I was pushing him off of me,

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 4>saying no.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>And what did he do?

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 4>He didn't stop.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Then we have yet another accuser describing how he started

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>out as a mentor, but eventually he invited her to

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a hotel.

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Listen, he offered to mentor me.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 5>Wow, that was as someone who knew truly nothing about

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 5>politics at the time, or no one. That was just

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 5>an incredibly generous offer that I felt very lucky to have.

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 6>She says. Swalwell created a group chat with all the

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 6>students and then added her as a friend on the

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 6>messaging app Snapchat.

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 5>And so I asked the other people that were in

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.119
<v Speaker 5>the meeting did he add them?

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 3>And they said no? Were they all men? Yes, I

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 3>was the only woman in the meeting.

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 6>She says. Swalwell, who was then in his late thirties,

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 6>started out talking politics, but his messages soon turned flirtatious.

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 5>Ultimately it reached a point where he invited me to

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 5>a hotel to meet him.

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>It was very clear what the connotation was.

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 5>At that point, I completely stopped responding. What I keep

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 5>thinking back to is how lucky I am that I

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 5>didn't go to that hotel.

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Yet. Accuser, who was a staffer, saying Swalwell was sending

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>her pictures of his private parts.

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Listen, tell me more about the unsolicited photos he sent you.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, So the messages gradually became more inappropriate, and they

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 7>became later into the nights times that nobody should be

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 7>talking to a congressman, or a congressman should be talking

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 7>to a young girl. And he would say things like,

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 7>what are you doing, what are you wearing? Send me

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 7>a photo of what you're doing right now. And then

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 7>eventually one night we were talking and he just sent

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 7>me a photo of his genitals unsolicited. Unsolicited.

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean the walls are literally collapsing on Swalwell

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>this morning. I mean, yeah, he's he's done with Congress,

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>he's done with his coup natorial bid. Now there is

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>an investigation Alvin Bragg in New York, who I don't

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 1>have a high degree of confidence in. And I noticed yesterday,

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>for example, that it didn't draw much attention when this

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>woman that we just hearned from said she was drugged

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 1>to the point of unconsciousness when Swollwa forced her to

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>have sex. Though it didn't draw much attention yesterday, the

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>accounts of two now additional women accusing him of a

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>pattern of rape indicate they also were drugged by the

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 1>now former Democratic gubernatorial front runner before they were sexually attacked.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>But it you know, this woman saying, it's just a

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>horrible I mean, what really is scary about this to

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>me is, and we discovered this yesterday, is how many

0:05:54.680 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>people apparently knew about his behavior for a long period

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of time and what that means, uh, in terms of

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>what's coming forward now. If I have to look into

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>my crystal ball here today, I would tell you that

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>it probably means that his future is in a jail cell,

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>probably maybe for maybe very likely for the rest of

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>his life. I mean this, this is Harvey Weinstein's stuff,

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and it just keeps getting worse. And this, this is

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>not something that I think in any way is going

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 1>away for him. I listening to these women one after another,

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm having a hard time, you know, thinking that any

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>jury would ever quit him, even even in the most

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>liberal jurisdiction. I just can't see it. Well, you know,

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll have to wait and see what happens as this

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>continues to unfold. But you know, I believed he drugged

0:06:55.400 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 1>my drink. I this there is a very, very arcsick,

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>evil human being in there. If these women are all

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>telling the truth, and I have no reason to doubt

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>them at all whatsoever. We have some updates on the

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Iran situation. A lot more on this story coming up

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>later in the program at the top of the next hour.

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>So there is now a major schism between the US

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and Arnato allies that has emerged here. And the latest

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>person that really, I guess, get in the middle of

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>this is now the you know, is Georgia Maloney, and she,

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of course was the Prime Minister of Italy, and he said,

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I find President Trump's remark about the remarks about the

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Holy Father unacceptable. I find the I find the Pope's

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>comments unacceptable in this regard, and I have deep respect

0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>for a pope, and I have deep respect for the

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Catholic faith. I was raised Catholic, twelve years of Catholic schools.

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I studied theology Latin and in high school and went

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to Mass every day. And I went to twelve years

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of Catholic schools, and it was a great experience in

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>my life. I think the Catholic Mass is beautiful. I

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>get a lot out of it. I have problems with

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the church more specifically, and I've discussed them publicly before,

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>is how they institutionalized corruption and hit it for such

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a long period of time. I also have problems with

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>church made rules that I think led to led to

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the problems that the church took on.

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>For the first twelve hundred years of the church, priests

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>were allowed to marry. I think once they took away

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the ability of priests to marry. Eleven of the twelve

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>disciples were married. I think Jesus was very familiar. You know,

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Adam and Eve. We can go back to Adam and Eve,

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and God's creation of Eve out of the rib of

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Adam so that he would have a companion is biblical

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>in every sense of the word. So I think it's

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a more natural state for people. Some people choose if

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>they want to choose to devote their lives to their faith.

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I respect that completely. But this was a church made rule,

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and it was made twelve hundred years into the Church's history,

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 1>and when you look at the real reasons behind it,

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the driving forces of it was

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>money and the fear of losing a lot of money

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>if a priest or a priest were to get divorces,

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and then property issues would come up, although I'm not

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>really sure how that would be an issue if it's

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.599
<v Speaker 1>the church that actually owns the property, but that's a

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>separate issue legally speaking. And I just find that all

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>of the corruption that in the church, I mean, they

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>now have reduced the potential number of candidates for the

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.599
<v Speaker 1>priesthood down to a very a portion of the population.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I think most men prefer to go through life being married.

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm speaking broadly, I'm speaking generally. I think I think

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>most women prefer to be married. But people make other

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>individual decisions. I make no judgment against what people decide

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to do in their life. That's what freedom is all about.

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>And who am I to judge what people do, especially adults.

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't make any judgments. I believe completely in liberty

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:28.719
<v Speaker 1>and freedom for people. But what frustrates me about the

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Catholic Church and the Pope in this particular case, and

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 1>him speaking out against the war against the number one

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>state sponsor of terror, the people that were responsible for

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>orchestrating and training what happened on October seventh, The people

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that have killed untold tens of thousands of their own

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>citizens in a crackdown politically just recently, the country that

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.560
<v Speaker 1>has been fomenting terror in the entire region and around

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the world now going on for forty seven years. A

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>society that oppresses women to such an extent that if

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>they don't dress a certain way that they are brutally beaten,

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.719
<v Speaker 1>or if they're really dressing out of line, they can

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>be killed for such or you know, you talk about

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a lack of tolerance if you're gay or lesbian, if

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you're brought to the top of a tall building and

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you're thrown off the building. And I can't find instances

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>in which the Church has spoken out strongly against the

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>number one state sponsor of terror, and unfortunately, evil has

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>always existed. And look, there's different analysis if you want

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to look at the Catholic Church and their reaction to

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Hitler and the rise of fascism and Nazism and World

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>War Two, in that their criticism was muted at best,

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and while they did make humanitarian efforts to help individuals out,

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and they deserve all the credit in the world for

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that because that was a courageous thing to do. I

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>think the Church could have been more outspoken about evil

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>in its time. They were very concerned, and they made

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a deal. I believe it was in nineteen thirty two

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>or thirty three. I think it was. I'm not sure

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>it was a pope pious the eleventh and then later

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>the twelfth I forget that. Actually, you know, went into

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>an agreement with Germany to protect Catholics, which the Nazis

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you rejected out right almost from day one, so I'm

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>a little frustrated at this. So, however, the presidents come

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 1>under criticism for challenging the Pope, because I think that

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the Church should stand and I think people that are

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 1>spiritual should stand against evil, especially evil in our time.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 1>And there's nothing more evil than radical Islamic terrorism. There's

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>no regime on the face of this earth that has

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.719
<v Speaker 1>been more evil than the Iranium, regime that has been

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>more repressive of human condition and human rights, which I

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>believe is God's natural state for mankind than this regime.

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>And yet while they're critical of Donald Trump, who is

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>bringing an end to this evil in our time, they

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>have been silent on the atrocities that have been committed

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>by this regime. And I have a hard time understanding it. Now,

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the problem comes in when people like Georgia Maloney of

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Italy criticizing President Trump and his remarks about the Holy

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Father are unacceptable. No, they're not unacceptable, because President Trump

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>is calling out the Pope for his lack of moral clarity,

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think the Pope look lacks moral clarity when

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>it comes to speaking out against the human atrocities and

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:54.079
<v Speaker 1>murder of this regime. And so now this further creates

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>a bigger schism with NATO and Europe and Western Europe

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 1>in particular. And I think Western Europe is in a

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 1>steep decline in large part because of unfettered illegal immigration,

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>no assimilation, resulting in sharia courts in Great Britain, no

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>go zones in France and other parts of Europe. And

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I think add to that radical socialism, radical climate alarmism,

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and a lack of focus on national security and national defense,

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we've got a problem. And then we just

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 1>saw that Iran had secured a UN role, and Western democracies,

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>including the UK, France, Canada, Australia, now they're facing a

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>backlash because they've allowed Iran and other authoritarian regimes to

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>secure seats on the influential on these influential UN bodies,

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the United Nations bodies, United Nations Economic Social Council, a

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>fifty four member body plays a central role in shaping

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the UN policy. And they're even putting these countries known

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>for radical terrorists, You're even putting them on human rights commissions.

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It's insane anyway, Aida, I've got the biblical evidence to

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>prove that I'm right and linditarianism is wrong, and it's

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>from Matthew. If you want to look it up, I'll

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>give you the actual place to look for it later,

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and then we're going to put this discussion to rest

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>once and for all by the end of the show today.

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Well it's got to end because I can't take it.

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to tell you when we get back exactly

0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>what the President is doing and the two scenarios that

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>will play out one of the other will play out

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>straight ahead.

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 2>He never stops working for the good of a country.

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Sean Annity with behind the scenes information on today's breaking news.

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Hannity is on right now. I guess what frustrates me

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>as I watched the world's fear, especially Europe's fear, and

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 1>our NATO allies, you know, abandon us against the number

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>one state sponsor of terror. That's the frustrating part, you know.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I wish the Pope would have spoken out as strongly

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>against the Iranian regime and the murder and the terror

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that they they have been responsible for. But that never

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>seems to be part of the equation and the idea

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that Iran secured a role at the United Nations with

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 1>the backing of the you know, Great Britain and France,

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>in Canada and Australia and America stands alone saying no,

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 1>we're not doing that, and un Watch warning dictatorships will

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>now hold a majority on the committee that controls NGO accreditation.

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>It's it's so corrupt. Are you going to put countries

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 1>like Iran and Russia on the Human Rights Commission? Is

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it is a worthless organization? All these globalist organizations We've

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.199
<v Speaker 1>been arguing for years as worthless. We've been arguing that

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the continent of Europe is in a precipitous decline. We're

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 1>not wrong about that. It is so obvious. And you

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>know the one thing Donald Trump said to the Italian

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Georgia Maloney over Iran's nuclear capabilities as she

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>was criticizing his comments about the Pope. The Pope ought

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to be criticizing radical Islamis that have been slaughtering their

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.880
<v Speaker 1>own people. But maybe bother to mention that he didn't

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>bother to speak out about October seventh that I've seen.

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 1>He didn't bother to speak out about state sponsored terrorism.

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>He didn't bother to condemn the number one state sponsor

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:15.200
<v Speaker 1>of terror. None of that happened. And what Trump said

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.400
<v Speaker 1>is he was kind of shocked by the Italian Prime

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 1>minister's comments. She used to be a bit of an ally,

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and he said, it's she who's unacceptable because she obviously

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 1>doesn't care if Iran has a nuclear weapon, and that

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 1>they'd be able to blow up Italy in two minutes

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>if they had the chance. Now that's what radical Islamis do.

0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>This is a death cult. These are Islamo fascists. They

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think they're doing Allah's will when they slaughter innocent men,

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>women and children. They have no problem using their own

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 1>citizens as human shields. They have no problems strapping bombs

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 1>on young, gullible, vulnerable individuals with a false promise of

0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 1>seventy two virgins in heaven. And now we discover, in

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the course of epic fury that they had that the

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 1>world that underestimated yet again Iranian capabilities and in particular

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 1>their they're ballistic range, the ballistic missile range, which now

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>could hit the continent of Europe, and it could hit

0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:21.879
<v Speaker 1>cities like Paris and London and other places. And so

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Macrone is under fire over Iran because

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you know the French politician is you know, a one

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>French politician say Macrone's government must stop normalizing Hasbola.

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 7>Now.

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the problems is internally they have

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a problem, and their problem happens to be that now

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>larger and larger percentages of their population are these these

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 1>this unvetted illegal immigration without assimilation. But they also have

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.199
<v Speaker 1>the right to vote. Did you ever think in our

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>lifetime we'd have sharia courts in Great Britain, no go

0:19:55.840 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>zones in places in France and other parts of Europe.

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think that would happen. Let me play Thomas Friedman,

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and this is a New York Times columnist. He should

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>be fired for this stupidity. He says he's torn about

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 1>rooting for the Iranian regime's downfall since it would give

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 1>a win to Trump and net Yahoo. Now it is

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.480
<v Speaker 1>revealing because this is how many on the left feel.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Many on the left, although they're not even as honest

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 1>as he's being, many on the left just want Trump

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to fail, and if it means that Iran is successful,

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and they're okay with it. This is Thomas Friedman.

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 8>I find myself, Michael, in a situation where I really

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 8>want to see Ron defeated militarily because this regime is

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 8>a terrible regime for its people in the region, and

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:49.919
<v Speaker 8>nothing would improve the region more than the replacement of

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 8>this regime with the regime in Iran, it was focused

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.919
<v Speaker 8>on enabling its people to realize their full potential and

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 8>integrating peacefully with other countries and stop occupying Lebanon, Syria,

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.880
<v Speaker 8>Iraq and Yemen. So I'm all for that.

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:06.920
<v Speaker 3>The problem is, I really.

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 8>Don't want to see Phoebe Nets and Yaho are Donald

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 8>Trump politically strengthened by this war, because they are two

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 8>awful human beings. They're both engaged in anti democratic projects

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 8>in their own countries. They're both alleged crooks. They are terrible,

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 8>terrible people doing terrible things to America's standing in the

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 8>world and Israel standing in the world. And so I

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 8>really find myself torn. I want to see Ron militarily defeated,

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 8>but I do not want to see these two terrible

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 8>people strengthened.

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the two terrible people that have the moral

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>clarity to make the world the sayer place. Those are

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the two terrible people he's talking about. By the way,

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I digress here a minute. As I go back to

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>this just breaking swallwell rape accuser has just met with

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the Los Angeles County Sheriff, this fifty year old woman

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>turning up at the West Hollywood station a hand over

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>which he says are the damning text, photographs and journal entries.

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I would say we are officially probably on mister Fang

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Fang's pending a rest at this point if that story

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>ends up being true. It's reported again by the New

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>York Post. There is a CBS report that Swollwell may

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>face sexual misconduct allegation from as many as thirty accusers.

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 1>What has been going on here? And how did so

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.639
<v Speaker 1>many people know and not say anything about this? Anci

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi had no idea Eric Swalwell was an alleged serial rapist,

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:35.119
<v Speaker 1>had no idea at all. Oh okay, I'm sure that

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>she didn't hear this among democratic circles, even though it's

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 1>been reported that it was widely known out there. Let

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.720
<v Speaker 1>me go back to Let me go back to Iran

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>for just a second, and I'm going to explain how

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 1>this is going to play out, and PenCom, by the way,

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 1>correcting the record that no ships have made it past

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the US naval blockade of Iran's ports or coastal areas

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and this is critical. You know, when I first heard

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 1>of blockade, was worried that that meant that we would

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>have our navy ships in the street of horn Moves

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>as sitting ducks. That's not how this operation is playing out. However,

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:12.120
<v Speaker 1>we're keeping eyes all over carg Island where any tanker

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:15.119
<v Speaker 1>would pull up their ship and fill up with oil

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and then take off. No, they are not putting themselves

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>in a position where the Iranians would have a pretty

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>fair to medium shot at hitting a US Navy vessel.

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So we can't have that happen. Thank god, we don't

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:32.480
<v Speaker 1>want that to happen. Those ships have made it past

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the US naval blockade of Iran's ports, and six merchant

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>ships have followed orders to turn back, according to Sencom,

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>and more than ten thousand US sailors, marines, and airmen,

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 1>along with a dozen warships and dozens of aircraft are

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 1>executing the mission of blockading ships entering and deporting Iranian ports.

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:56.159
<v Speaker 1>In other words, the purpose here is to bankrupt the Iranians.

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what this is about. This is their only source

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of income. Now, there had been reports that a Chinese

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>owned vessel had passed through the straight of Horn Moves.

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Now the US has reacted to this. Bloomberg News reporting,

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the US said six merchant vessels complied with instructions from

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>its forces to turn around re enter the Iranian port

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 1>during the first day of the blockade. In other words,

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>they tried, but they didn't get through. And the Chinese

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.639
<v Speaker 1>link ship was one of the ones that did a

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:31.200
<v Speaker 1>U turn after trying to run through America's Horror Moves blockade. Anyway,

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.399
<v Speaker 1>so it appears that the U turn of the sailing

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>ship out of the straight of hor Moves is real

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and that is going to continue. What does that mean now?

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The president is showing great restraint here. There is an

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 1>easier way for the president. Let me tell you what

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 1>it is to blow up carg Island. The President wants

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to wipe out their ability to ever be able to

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 1>make money for the foreseeable future and stop all its

0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:59.680
<v Speaker 1>terrorism with it. He could just blow up the island.

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't be hard. They have no air defense systems.

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.119
<v Speaker 1>We have proven we could pretty much go anywhere within

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 1>the confines of the country of Iran. They don't have

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the military means to fight back against the US. That

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>is certainly on the table. The President would rather not

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 1>go down that road. I'm pretty certain I understand why

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>he's hoping that if he gives this just a just

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 1>enough time, he's hoping that the Iranians will either come

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to the table and be reasonable this time, and that

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't want to go down that route. He's threatening

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to go down that route. I don't think his patients

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>will be endless. I think it's short lived, and then

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the President will have to act. It's going to end

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>one or two ways. Either the Iranians wake up, they

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>allowed the sixty percent enriched uranium, they hand it over,

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 1>or the Americans will go in and just extract it.

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 1>The ideal situation, in my mind, but there's no way

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that they can have the sixty percent of rich uranium now.

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:10.199
<v Speaker 1>If our military leaders believe they can entomb it and

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:14.919
<v Speaker 1>keep eyes on it, that's a less favorable option, only

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>because it means that it could draw us back into

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the region down the road after a period of time

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>where they might be able to build up their ballistic

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>missile systems. I'm not sure if I love that idea. However,

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>if you want to define victory and success, it is

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:37.639
<v Speaker 1>that they will never be a nuclear power, and ideally speaking,

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>if we cho put to create this chokehold that is effective,

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and they have no means of bringing money into that country,

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and there's widespread suffering in poverty. I don't care how

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:54.359
<v Speaker 1>many Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces remain, and it's estimated to

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:57.600
<v Speaker 1>be around one hundred hundred and thirty thousand, somewhere in

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 1>that range. Many of them have been killed, and hopefully

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:03.679
<v Speaker 1>some of them will begin to see the light and

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 1>surrender and change sides, and they would work with the

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 1>freedom fighters within Iran and hopefully an effort that could

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:14.400
<v Speaker 1>be successful in arming the Iranian people so they can

0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 1>take control of their own destiny. But it really does

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>have we have the ability to end this very quickly,

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>or yeah, just give it a little bit more time.

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:30.120
<v Speaker 1>As of today, the president has chosen to give it

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more time. Now. If you read the

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 1>tea leaves, they're saying, no, talks have not ended, the

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>talks have not finished, et cetera, et cetera. I don't

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:43.719
<v Speaker 1>know what the status of those talks are. All I

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:48.919
<v Speaker 1>know is that if President Trump wants to obliterate the

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Iranian ability to make money moving forward in the future,

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it could happen right now. He doesn't have to wait.

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:02.679
<v Speaker 1>I think the President showing great restraint and patience and

0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 1>the hopes that eventually reality will kick in and the

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Iranians will quickly realize that without money they cannot survive. Now,

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>so far, the Iranians have not exactly proven themselves that

0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 1>they're open to any persuasive action. It's unfortunate. I mean,

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>they could have avoided fourteen bunker buster bombs before Midnight Hammer.

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>They could have even avoided They had an opportunity, they

0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 1>had fifty days before the Israeli struck, and they chose

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 1>not to act. On day fifty one, the Israelis struck

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and they struck hard, and they can all, you know,

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's really, you know, you have to wonder, after

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 1>all of their leadership has been taken out in the

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 1>first tier, second tier, third tier, what is this fourth

0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and fifthier level of leadership thinking about. When they come

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>into this meeting in Islamabad with a list of the

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that are non starters, and then they won't agree on

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the issue of uranium, they won't agree on the Strait

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of Hormuz. Then they even go as far as to

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>say that they want the right to tariff international waterways,

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>which again, these are things that are never going to

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 1>happen for them, there's a level of either arrogance or stupidity,

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:26.239
<v Speaker 1>or maybe it just exposes how deep their indoctrination is

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in you know, forty seven years living under radical regime.

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they just they eat, breathe, sleep, this indoctrination into radicalism,

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they actually believe that dying and martyrdom is

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate goal in life. And at that point that's irrational.

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>At that point, there will be no negotiated settlement. At

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that point, the only way is to militarily destroy them,

0:29:55.800 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>which we're capable of doing. Is it a first choice? Oh,

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not. Is it an option that's on the table.

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Of course it is. But we'll see after three four

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>days of an embargo where no money is coming in,

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>what will the reaction be? Then, Linda, you want to

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 1>make a prediction, and later we'll get into your biblical

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 1>what do we call it? Linda? Something is Lindarianism, Lenda

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 1>something is the Linda version of the Bible. Dion rewrote

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the Bible. You're trying to rewrite the Bible. I am

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>not trying to rewrite the Bible. I'm more of a

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 1>musician than than a writer. Okay, I can't wait. I

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 1>actually hope God. I'm going to say a prayer that

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 1>God will let me listen in on the negotiations when

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you get up to the prolegates. I'm hoping I can

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 1>be an observer and watch you. Hope you're not part

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of the judge and jury.

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Let me in.

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be in trouble. I'd vote you in.

0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Hm hm, I would. I'd vote you. I wouldn't want

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you to. I wouldn't want you to rotten hell, he'd

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>be hanging out with all those leaders in Iran. I

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't wish anybody is the arrest of mister Feng Feng imminent.

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Will check in with Isabelle Brown and Catalina Lauf on

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the other side.
