1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,239 Speaker 1: Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine point one, Sean, 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program, Well, 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: following multiple stories today, One is we're seeing the first 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: defections of Iranian police and we have video of it. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: Is around now on the precipice of falling itself. Iranian 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: security forces did open fire on an anti regime protest 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: that was going on inflation. They're wopping forty two percent. 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Reports now that the Ayatola Kamani has plans to flee 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: to Moscow in Vladimir Putin's arms. He has a plan 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: B in place. Some protesters clashing with security forces in 11 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: Tehran's Grand Bazaar and the government cannot handle what's going 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: on at this point seem things seem to rapidly be 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: deteriorating out of control. The Iranian government offered a whopping 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: seven dollars monthly stipend to people, I guess to somehow 15 00:00:59,160 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: placate them. 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to be the case. Then. 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: Of course, with the fall of Maduro and Maduro being 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: captured by US forces, what does that mean for Cuba's future. 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot going on in a lot 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: of different ways. And you know the liberal left, they 21 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: are championing, you know, Nicholas Maduro. 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: As evidence in Seattle this weekend. 23 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: Pans up fed as well, pans up fed as well. 24 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: Good president made okay, and what's amazing about this? I'm 25 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: going to play Schumer back to back, Schumer condemning the 26 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: president's actions, but in twenty twenty, a very different Schumer 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: saying Trump is not getting rid of Maduro. 28 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: Figure this out. 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: This is first, it is reckless, it is dangerous. Whenever 30 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: our country has gotten involved in this kind of regime 31 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: change in nation building, American families pay the price in 32 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: blood and treasure. And the president brags about his Venezuela policy, 33 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: give us a break. He hasn't brought an end too 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful today 35 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 3: and more entrenched today than it was when the president began. 36 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: He didn't bring an into the Maduro regime. But that's then. 37 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: Now Trump gets rid of Maduro, and now he's upset. 38 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: We have the same thing. Mark Warner last year saying, well, 39 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: the Biden administration did not put enough pressure on getting 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro out, and then he's complaining President Trump got 41 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: Maduro out. Anyway here to weigh in on this insanity, 42 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: and it is insanity. And again, we're now in the 43 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: middle of a midterm, you know, the most pivotal important 44 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: midterm election, I think in our lifetime, because all progress 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: will stop and you know, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment would 46 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: follow if Democrats get control of the House and Senate 47 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: Congressman Lands Goodin of Texas sits on the House Armed 48 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: Services Committee supports the president's agenda. 49 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: Congressman, great to have you back. How are you happy 50 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: New Year? 51 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 4: Hey, Sam to you, Happy New Year. It's great to 52 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 4: be here. 53 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 2: Let's get your take on all of this. 54 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: Well, the hypocrisy that you just mentioned is really mind blowing. 55 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: I mean, I know Democrats are good at being hypocritical 56 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 4: for the Biden administration to put a bounty out on 57 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: Maduro and criticized Donald Trump many years ago for not 58 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 4: doing anything with Maduro, and now that he's actually executed 59 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: and delivered their outrage it makes no sense to me. 60 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: And I think this is one of these moments where 61 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 4: Democrats would be wise to just keep their mouths shut. 62 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: Maybe they say they don't love the way it was 63 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 4: handled at the most. But I think John Setterman is 64 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: the only Democrat I've seen that's actually spoken the truth 65 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 4: and admitted that this is actually great for the world 66 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: and it is in fact America first. 67 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's the point of it, isn't it. 68 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, it's very 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: consistent without any forever wars. Now there are going to 70 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: be at challenges. We're not going in, you know, starry 71 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: eyed here thinking that this transition is going to be easy. 72 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: It's not. 73 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: At the top of the next hour, I had her 74 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: on TV last night, Maria Corrino Machado, who is the 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: leader of the opposition in Venezuela, will join us. There 76 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: are challenges ahead, but in the interim, what's the best course? 77 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: Well, I think the best course is to lean on 78 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 4: the guy who's so far delivered and not failed us, 79 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: and that's Donald Trump. I don't know that it will 80 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: be challenging. I mean everyone's saying it's going to be challenging, 81 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 4: but maybe this new vice president turned president down in 82 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: Caracas is going to play ball. She's certainly changed her 83 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: tune in the last two days. She started off for 84 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: pretty anti Trump, and then some words were spoken, and 85 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 4: she seemed to have an olive branch extended to the US. 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: So let's just see what happens. If if you'd have 87 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 4: said a month a week ago, if you'd just said 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 4: a week ago that hey, we're going to fly into 89 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 4: Caracas and take President Maduro out and he's going to 90 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 4: be in a New York courtroom, people would have said, 91 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: that's nuts. There's no way that's going to happen. So 92 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 4: maybe this won't be difficult. If this new president that's 93 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 4: been installed via Maduro's departure plays ball, then this may 94 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 4: be easier than we thought. 95 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: Well, we can always hope. 96 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: I think the key to this and I know that 97 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: the Energy Secretary is meeting with American oil companies and 98 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: they're talking about a year, year and a half timeframe. 99 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they have the largest oil reserves in the world, 100 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: but yet it's it's considered what we call dirty oil. 101 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: It needs a lot of refining, but we have the 102 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: ability to do it. But that could be a huge 103 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: benefit for the people of Venezuela ultimately when we get 104 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: that back up and online. Meanwhile, American companies paid all 105 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: the money to build out those facilities. 106 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 4: That's right. And the American companies lost their investments many 107 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: years ago, and no one is going to get rich 108 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 4: off of this. When folks say, hey, this is all 109 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 4: about the oil, there's an aspect of the oil being 110 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: a part of this, but the United States is not 111 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 4: going to make a bunch of money off this. What's 112 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 4: important is that the supply that this will provide to 113 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 4: the market will keep prices down in the long term 114 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 4: and take away the advantage that places like Iran, in 115 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: Russia and the Middle East have had over the years. 116 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 4: And so this new supply hopefully will keep prices low, 117 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 4: which is good for us. With respect to our adversaries 118 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: who have capitalized on this dirty cheap oil, China is 119 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: no longer hopefully going to be getting cheap oil from Venezuela. 120 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: They're going to have to pay for it, and they're 121 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: not going to be in charge. It's going to be 122 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: a big blow to Cuba, which is ultimately going to 123 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 4: help the state of affairs in the Caribbean. And I 124 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: think that overall we're going to see quite a bit 125 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 4: of good come from this. 126 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: You'd think as a consequence of what happened in Venezuela 127 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: and the fact that Cuba was getting most of their 128 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: oil from Venezuela, and that oil now is going to 129 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: be cut off. Do you think as a natural consequence 130 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: of this, Cuba falls. 131 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: I think it is a natural consequence because they're having 132 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 4: electricity and clean water issues as we speak. In the 133 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 4: weeks prior to Maduro's removal, they were in dire straits, 134 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 4: and I think they're very bad off in Cuba. I'm 135 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: not even sure anything needs to be done. It may 136 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 4: fall on its own. 137 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: And what about Iran, I mean, you see what's happening. 138 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: The image is coming out of there. Police are putting 139 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: down their weapons and standing in solidarity now with the 140 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: people of Iran that are protesting. Those crowds get bigger 141 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: and bigger by the day. We are reading that the 142 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: Ayatola company has now got a plan B to go 143 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: to Moscow. 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 4: Wouldn't surprise me a bit. And he's running out of friends. 145 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 4: Who's going to come and save the Iranians. No one 146 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 4: saved Maduro, and I don't see anyone coming to their rescue. 147 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: Sure there may be a plane to Moscow for their 148 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 4: supreme leader and the top dogs that at the end 149 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: of the day don't forget You've also got Israel interested 150 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 4: in what happens there, and I think the cards are 151 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: being read. I think the people of Iran know that 152 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 4: if there is a time to overthrow their government and 153 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 4: have regime change, it has to be from within, and 154 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: it has to be now. I think this could be 155 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: a once in a lifetime opportunity for their Iranians, and 156 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 4: I don't think they'll let it go to waste. 157 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: Let me go and switch gears on you a little 158 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: bit here and go to Minnesota and this massive fraud 159 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: that we know Governor Tim Walls was warned about. Many 160 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: whistleblowers had warned him, and we're talking about billions of dollars. 161 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: And now this fraud has been more institutionalized. We're realizing 162 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: other states are involved, like Ohio and New York and California. 163 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: God only knows how many billions will be, you know, 164 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: ultimately discovered that have been wasted, and how much fraud 165 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: has taken place. Here's let me play a few Walls 166 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: announcing he's not going to seek re election and then 167 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: going on a rant about Donald Trump and his allies 168 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: and how they want to poison our people against each other. 169 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: That's what he says, I. 170 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 5: Don't want to mince words here. Donald Trump and his 171 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 5: ally in Washington and in Saint Paul and online want 172 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 5: to make our state a colder, meaner place. They want 173 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 5: to poison our people against each other by attacking our neighbors, 174 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 5: and ultimately, they want to take away much of what 175 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 5: makes Minnesota the best place in the country to raise 176 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 5: a family. They've already begun trying to withhold funds that 177 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 5: were meant to help families afford childcare, and they have 178 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 5: no intention of stopping there. In September, I announced that 179 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 5: I would seek a historic third term as Minnesota's governor, 180 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 5: and I have every confidence that if I gave it 181 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 5: my all, we would win the race. But as I 182 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 5: reflect on this moment with my family and my team 183 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 5: over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I 184 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 5: can't give a political campaign my all. Every minute that 185 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 5: I spend defending my own political interest would be a 186 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 5: minute I can't spend defending the people of Minnesota against 187 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 5: the criminals who pray on our generosity and the cynics 188 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 5: who want to pray on our differences. 189 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 2: So I've decided to step out of. 190 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: This race, and I'll let other worry about the election 191 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 5: while I focus on the work that's in front of 192 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 5: me for the next year. 193 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: What's your reaction to Tim Walls. 194 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: I think he's juvenile in a clown and I want 195 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 4: to thank him for being the nominee was Kamala Harris, 196 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: because he certainly didn't do her a favor. And I 197 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 4: think I think, you know, from Mogadishu to Minnesota, the 198 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 4: criminality and the crime and the fraud is just perhaps 199 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 4: a little bit different in Minnesota. Maybe the violence isn't there, 200 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 4: but the fact that they're defrauding us taxpayers and people 201 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 4: like Tim Watts, maybe he didn't know about it. He 202 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 4: certainly turned a blind eye to everyone else that said 203 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 4: we've got a problem. They're too worried about offending a 204 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: group of refugees that have, in my mind, run the 205 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: whole state of Minnesota into the ground. Tim Waltz was 206 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 4: a National Party nominee on the Democratic ticket. He should 207 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 4: be cruising to re elect in his home liberal state 208 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 4: of Minnesota. And the fact that he can't even keep 209 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 4: his governorship after a presidential vice presidential run, I think 210 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 4: is a testament to how bad they really are. 211 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: Well, it seems that that's going to open up a possibility. 212 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean, is there really a possibility that Walls lieutenant 213 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: governor progressive Senate hopeful, you know, left wing radical could 214 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: now lose that race for the US Senate. 215 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: Do you see that as a possibility. 216 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 4: I think sure, sure could. I think that could happen. 217 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 4: I think he could be toast. I think that he's 218 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 4: going to House Oversight Committee in the coming weeks and 219 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 4: the American people are going to see just how terrible 220 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 4: he has been at oversight of his state's finances and 221 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 4: the stewardship of the taxpayer dollar. And I think the 222 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 4: American people aren't going to reward him with a trip 223 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 4: to Washington as a United States Senator. 224 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: Now let me ask you this, Nick Shirley, is this 225 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: citizen journalist who went to all of these daycare centers 226 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: in Minnesota that we're getting, you know, all these you know, 227 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars, and discover that there were 228 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: no kids there and there was no daycare being taken place. 229 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: Doctor Oz has said on this program that the quote 230 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: registered autism rate and the Somali community of Minnesota was 231 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: as high as eighty percent, which is mathematically impossible. 232 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: And now this guy. 233 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: Apparently he has become a target of potential political violence 234 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: on the left because he exposed this fraud for what 235 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: it is. I give him a lot of credit for 236 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: doing it. He went on Riley Gaines's podcast and talked 237 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: about this, and I think he did the country a 238 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: great service. 239 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: I totally agree. I think he deserves the medal, and 240 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: I hope he keeps it up. I suspect there's more 241 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 4: fraud than just what he discovered in Minnesota, and I 242 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 4: really do applaud him and the fact that this wasn't 243 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: on our radar in Washington until a few weeks ago. 244 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 4: I mean, we knew we had a refugee and immigration 245 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: problem years ago, but I don't think anyone knew how 246 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 4: bad things were in Minnesota, of all places, until the 247 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: last week. And my constituents are furious about it, and 248 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 4: Americans across our nation want something done. They want justice, 249 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 4: and they want people to be held to account, people 250 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 4: to be either shipped out of the country for good 251 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 4: or put in prison or both. 252 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: How do you view the midterms this year? I mean, 253 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: obviously waiting on a very very critical Supreme Court decision, 254 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: but where do you see the midterms? So far as 255 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: we start out. 256 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 4: The year, well, President Trump spoke to our Republican caucus 257 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 4: just this morning about it, and he said, only twice 258 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: in the last ninety years has the party in power 259 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 4: won the House in the midterms, and he plans to 260 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 4: be a third times. A charm trend breaker. With respect 261 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 4: to that, I think we have a great chance. I 262 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 4: think that policy is on our side. The policy of 263 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: keeping the border secure, the policy of being opposed to transgenderism, 264 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 4: and all the political correctness that helped get Donald Trump elected. 265 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 4: These are things that Americans hate it and when it 266 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 4: comes to policy, we have the advantage of Democrats may 267 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 4: be able to kick and scream and make a lot 268 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 4: of noise that at the end of the day, policies 269 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: on our side. It's not an eighty twenty issue. With 270 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 4: respect to this transigen your crazy culture that the left 271 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 4: is pushing, It's a ninety nine to one issue. Ninety 272 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: nine percent of Americans don't want men playing in women's sports. 273 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 4: They don't want them changing in their daughter's dressing room 274 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 4: at school. That is not a liberal or a conservative idea. 275 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 4: That's every American on the streets believes that. And I 276 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 4: think that policy will win the day come November, and 277 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 4: the Americans will reward Donald Trump with a re elected 278 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: Republican majority. 279 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: Oh, we could only hope. 280 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: Congressman Lance Good in the Texas of the House Arm 281 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: Services Committee. We appreciate your time, sir, and you it's 282 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: going to take everybody to get involved and to vote. 283 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our busy, busy telephones. Don 284 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: in Iowa, Don High, how are you glad you called? 285 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: Sir? 286 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 6: Hi Sean, thank you for taking my call. I'm not 287 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 6: actually in Iowa right now. I'm a truck driver running 288 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 6: through the Rockies. I'm also a Marine Corps veteran with 289 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 6: signal intelligence, and I wanted to call to congratulate not 290 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 6: just President Trump for this great deed that they pulled 291 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 6: off this weekend, but Pete Heiksith and Marco Rubio and 292 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 6: everybody else that was involved. Because they exposed Chinese defense systems, 293 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 6: Russian defense systems. They made it. Look they've got Beijing 294 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 6: shaking right now. 295 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: I promise you, well, I don't think there's any doubt 296 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: about that at all whatsoever. You know, there's a lot 297 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: of spectacular things that we really haven't spoken about here. 298 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: Maduro's Chinese and Russian built air defense systems. 299 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,359 Speaker 2: They crumbled. 300 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: They were completely you know, immobile, they were completely rendered 301 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: useless by the US military crumbling of under American superior 302 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: war fighting technology. 303 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: That that's kind of an untold story. 304 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: Maybe we shouldn't put a lot of emphasis on it 305 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: because you don't want them to improve it. 306 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: China is now linked. 307 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: There's a story just thenews dot com John Solomon, China 308 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: is now linked to US protests against trump decision to 309 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: remove Maduro. You know, some of my best national security 310 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: contacts and intel contacts have been very very clear with me, 311 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: and this is why I warn people about what you 312 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: read on social media, the voices that you listen to. 313 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: You know, people have to be very selective because what 314 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: they are telling me is a lot of racism, anti semitism, 315 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, propaganda, pro Chinese propaganda, pro Russian propaganda. A 316 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: lot of this is all coming and originating from enemy 317 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: countries of the United States. In other words, some of 318 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: our top geopolitical foes are trying to influence, especially young 319 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: people on social media with bot accounts that are designed 320 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: to doctrinate them. And then you get a few dumb 321 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: people that have platforms that you believe this garbage and 322 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: echo this nonsense. And that's why I'm urging people to 323 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: be very selective in who you choose to listen to. 324 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: If they look if somebody is a racist, white nationalist, 325 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: maybe not somebody you want to associate with. If somebody 326 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: is a virulent anti semi yeah, maybe you don't want 327 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: to listen to what they have to say. If somebody 328 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: claims that they love Adolf Hitler, not exactly my cup 329 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: of tea, and I doubt anybody in this audience's cup 330 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: of tea. Now they get propped up by a corrupt 331 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: media establishment, legacy media establishment in this country, and then 332 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: they try to portray them as as loyal voices in 333 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: the mag of movement. And if you look into their 334 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: history you find at best their fairweathered friends of Donald Trump. 335 00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: Johnny Come Lately is to conservatism and the MAGA movement, 336 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: and just just people that are looking for clicks and 337 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,719 Speaker 1: algorithms and money. 338 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: That's what I see. 339 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 6: Well, I couldn't have said that any better, because Americans 340 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 6: need to wake up and learn who is asking them 341 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 6: to protest against their own country. Because what President Trump 342 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 6: does is in the best interests of this country. Every 343 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 6: single thing he does. You point that out beautifully every day. 344 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 6: I want to thank you. I also want to thank 345 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 6: all the military that served in this operation, the sailors, 346 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 6: the airmen, the Marines, the soldiers, Delta Force. They were 347 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 6: all exceptional and they showed what professionalism can look like 348 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 6: if done properly and legally, you know, with good purpose. 349 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 6: It's amazing. 350 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: All of these military operations are you know, full of danger, 351 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: and but President Trump knew the danger Mid nine Hammer, 352 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: this operation in Venezuela. You know, they're all dangerous. But 353 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: our military is the best on God's green earth. We 354 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do to turn the 355 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: economy around eighty six percent of the people living in poverty, 356 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: but I think we'll get there anyway. Don God bless 357 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: you be safe on the road. Simplify my friend. Appreciate 358 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: your call and what you do for a living. 359 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: Thank you. 360 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 7: All. 361 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: Right, back to our busy phones. Let us say hi 362 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: to Charlie. He's in Alabama. Charlie, how are you glad 363 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: you called? 364 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: Sir? 365 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 8: Hi? Jean, I'm glad I called too about this fraud 366 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 8: up in Minnesota. I know they're looking at the politicians, 367 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 8: but they need to go even deeper to look at 368 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 8: who gave him the idea, what permitting office overlooked, the 369 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 8: gross negligence of the buildings, what local inspectors kept signing 370 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 8: off on the thing every year, and you know then 371 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 8: the local politicians that get involved, and then you know, 372 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 8: all the way up the ladder. So it's not just 373 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 8: you know, Tim Walls, but everyone under him. 374 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: The thing that stands out that's most glaring to me 375 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: in this is that Tim Walls there were a number 376 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: of whistleblowers that were telling him that there's money, that 377 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: there was institutionalized fraud. And it's very clear to me, 378 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: and I believe over time will be proven in great 379 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: specificity in detail, how he was warned, he did nothing, 380 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: And I think that the only conclusion I can come 381 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: to at this point will get more information, maybe it'll change. 382 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: I doubt it is that he did not want to 383 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: alienate a large voting block as he was preparing to 384 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: run for reelection, which he's not planning to do anymore. 385 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: By the way, this is now growing way beyond Minnesota. 386 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 1: President Trump announced this morning that the Justice Department now 387 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: launched an investigation into you know, uh, the possible welfare 388 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: fraud and this type of fraud being widespread in California. 389 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: There's similarly an investigation into Ohio, an investigation into New York. 390 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna spread wide and the amount 391 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: of hundreds of billions of dollars will be staggery. And 392 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: it's frightening. Anyway, I appreciate you being with us. Thank you, 393 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: my friend Jonathan Arkansas. Next Sean Hannity Show, How are you? 394 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 9: I am wonderful and it is an honor to speak 395 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 9: to you. I've called so many times. It's my first 396 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 9: time ever getting through and it means so much to me, 397 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 9: as like the honor of a lifetime. I was in 398 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 9: your great state of Florida for the holidays, and uh, 399 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 9: you know, I was wanting to get my my mother 400 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 9: h Berna. My stepdad said, no, I fear. I think 401 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 9: he feared that she might use it on him, So 402 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 9: I got her the double bubble blanket instead. I'm gonna 403 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 9: get my wife. 404 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: The double bubble you can. Why would your dad be 405 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: against her having a burner? It's it's non lethal, it 406 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: is it can keep it could savor life one day. 407 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's great technology. It's safe. I mean I 408 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: I carry one every day along with I have I 409 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: have a six hour PETE through sixty five I carry. 410 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 9: Well, that's what I try to tell him. I said, 411 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 9: worst terms, the worst, you're out of commission for about 412 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 9: forty five minutes. But you just have to know my family. 413 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 9: So but uh, you know, I don't know when it 414 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 9: comes to all this fraud stuff though, you know, especially Minnesota, 415 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 9: because that's that's where the light is right now, I 416 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 9: don't I don't know if Tim Wallas is a criminal 417 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 9: that that remains to be seen. I think maybe he's 418 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 9: just Elmer Fudd and and not not too bright up there. 419 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: No, I'm not giving him that benefit of the doubt, 420 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: no way. I think honestly, he was straight out warned, 421 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: according to whistle blowers, that this was going on, and 422 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: he made a decision not to do anything about it. 423 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: That's what I believe happened, and I believe over time 424 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: will be proven. 425 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 9: We'll see if I'm right, and and you know, if 426 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 9: there if there's foul play there, then you know, he 427 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 9: needs to spend time in prison, you know. And that's 428 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 9: another issue is none of these people are being held accountable. 429 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 9: These people need to be held accountable, and the government 430 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 9: needs to stop doling out money like it's like it's nothing. 431 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 9: It's our taxpayer dollars. It needs to be it needs 432 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 9: to be handled like a single mom on a strict budget, 433 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 9: and there needs to be accountability, and there needs to 434 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 9: be auditors involved. You know, I do think it's widespread 435 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 9: because you know, cash for clunkers, the moonshot for cancer, 436 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 9: you know COVID, you know, I mean, there's so much 437 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 9: money that's wasted. 438 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 8: Every day. 439 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 9: I work in and out of hospitals all the time. 440 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 9: I see fraud, waste and abuse all the time. And 441 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 9: until they start cracking down on this and holding states 442 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 9: responsible and taking that money away when it's when it's 443 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 9: used irresponsibly, it's going to continue. 444 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: We have to get a control of waste, fraud, abuse, 445 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: corruption and stop abusing the people taxpayers, hardworking taxpayers in 446 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: this country.

There's a reason you have 497 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: a chain of command. There's a reason we have a 498 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: commander in chief. These are Article two powers. They're not 499 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: in dispute. The president was well within his constitutional authority 500 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: to do it. He doesn't need the approval of Chuck 501 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: Schumer to take military action like this, And if he 502 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: ever had to tell them, it would probably put soldiers' 503 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: lives in jeopardy, and you just can't have that. You 504 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: have one commander in chief. Kamala Harris lost, Donald Trump won. 505 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: And you know when, for example, Obama even killed in Americans, 506 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: guess what. And you hear a lot of criticism from 507 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: Democrats when he didn't inform Congress, and every other president 508 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: is acted in the same way. So there's just rank 509 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: hypocrisy all across the board. 510 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 2: Got a role. Appreciate your good call, Laurie, God bless you. 511 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: Happy new year. 512 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: Maria Carino Machado, leader of Venezuela's Democratic opposition. 513 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: Next
