1
00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,937
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

2
00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

3
00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:21,217
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. What is the funniest thing

4
00:00:21,257 --> 00:00:25,297
Speaker 1: that President Trump has said all week, perhaps all month,

5
00:00:26,057 --> 00:00:29,777
Speaker 1: maybe all quarter. You wouldn't generally think that the leader

6
00:00:29,777 --> 00:00:32,697
Speaker 1: of the free world would spend his time weighing in

7
00:00:32,937 --> 00:00:38,057
Speaker 1: on the latest trials and tribulations of one Greta Thunberg,

8
00:00:38,777 --> 00:00:41,817
Speaker 1: But sure enough President Trump had this decide.

9
00:00:41,817 --> 00:00:43,417
Speaker 2: This is cut sixteen hit it.

10
00:00:43,897 --> 00:00:46,297
Speaker 3: She's just a trouble maker, you know, I mean you

11
00:00:46,377 --> 00:00:49,097
Speaker 3: mean she's no longer into the environment, now she's into this.

12
00:00:49,657 --> 00:00:52,537
Speaker 3: She's a trouble maker. She is an anger management problem.

13
00:00:52,577 --> 00:00:55,257
Speaker 3: I think she should see a doctor. She's angry. If

14
00:00:55,297 --> 00:00:59,097
Speaker 3: you ever watched her, she's a young person. She's so angry,

15
00:00:59,177 --> 00:01:02,497
Speaker 3: she's so crazy. Now you can have her, you can have.

16
00:01:02,497 --> 00:01:06,097
Speaker 2: She's just a trouble maker. How dare you remember that?

17
00:01:06,337 --> 00:01:09,577
Speaker 2: How dare you? President Trump? Oh?

18
00:01:09,577 --> 00:01:13,417
Speaker 1: The Greta phenomenon is it's actually really important. And let

19
00:01:13,457 --> 00:01:16,977
Speaker 1: me explain why I think that's the case. It's not

20
00:01:17,017 --> 00:01:19,137
Speaker 1: that she's important to what she stands for, but the

21
00:01:19,137 --> 00:01:25,217
Speaker 1: Greta phenomenon of what she represents for the left, which

22
00:01:25,337 --> 00:01:35,217
Speaker 1: is I would argue that the pinnacle of brainless let

23
00:01:35,297 --> 00:01:41,577
Speaker 1: half work hard. I would say, to find a more

24
00:01:41,737 --> 00:01:50,137
Speaker 1: absurd leader of these globalist left wing activist movements, whatever

25
00:01:50,137 --> 00:01:53,617
Speaker 1: you want to call them, than Greta Thumberg. Remember, I

26
00:01:53,617 --> 00:01:57,537
Speaker 1: guess she's what she's probably like in her early twenties.

27
00:01:57,577 --> 00:02:01,257
Speaker 1: I don't know, but when she started out, it was

28
00:02:01,297 --> 00:02:07,337
Speaker 1: all about climate change, and she was sixteen, and CNN

29
00:02:07,457 --> 00:02:11,697
Speaker 1: and the UN and these these entities were treating her

30
00:02:12,737 --> 00:02:16,097
Speaker 1: like she was some kind of demigod. I mean, they

31
00:02:16,257 --> 00:02:19,337
Speaker 1: were hanging on her every word when it came to

32
00:02:19,377 --> 00:02:23,017
Speaker 1: climate change. And it's funny because usually they would say,

33
00:02:23,057 --> 00:02:26,297
Speaker 1: trust the science, and what about the science. She didn't

34
00:02:26,297 --> 00:02:30,337
Speaker 1: know any science. She hadn't even taken freshman biology or

35
00:02:30,497 --> 00:02:31,697
Speaker 1: sophomore chemistry.

36
00:02:32,097 --> 00:02:36,897
Speaker 2: It's basically a truant. She was not in school.

37
00:02:37,697 --> 00:02:40,617
Speaker 1: Instead, she was sailing around talking about climate change, and

38
00:02:40,737 --> 00:02:46,497
Speaker 1: adults who think of themselves as serious and intelligent thought

39
00:02:46,657 --> 00:02:49,697
Speaker 1: that listening to her was what serious and intelligent people

40
00:02:50,177 --> 00:02:52,977
Speaker 1: on the left do. And I think that tells you

41
00:02:53,097 --> 00:02:56,577
Speaker 1: all you need to know about the lack of seriousness

42
00:02:56,577 --> 00:02:58,537
Speaker 1: of their ideas and their movement everything else, and that

43
00:02:58,577 --> 00:03:00,457
Speaker 1: was true in climate change, and Trump points this out.

44
00:03:00,817 --> 00:03:04,937
Speaker 1: Now it's all about Gaza. Now the problem is Gaza.

45
00:03:05,017 --> 00:03:09,137
Speaker 1: And I just would say, what is these and I

46
00:03:09,177 --> 00:03:11,697
Speaker 1: will ask the question and answer it. But what is

47
00:03:11,737 --> 00:03:15,937
Speaker 1: it that these left wing activists really think is supposed

48
00:03:15,977 --> 00:03:20,417
Speaker 1: to happen after I mean, here, I am talking to

49
00:03:20,457 --> 00:03:23,737
Speaker 1: you on the anniversary, the two year anniversary of October seventh.

50
00:03:24,017 --> 00:03:26,177
Speaker 2: What do they think is supposed to happen.

51
00:03:28,297 --> 00:03:33,857
Speaker 1: After a mass casualty terror attack of the viciousness and

52
00:03:34,417 --> 00:03:37,297
Speaker 1: completely unprovoked nature that we saw on October seventh?

53
00:03:38,377 --> 00:03:39,497
Speaker 2: What do they want Israel to do?

54
00:03:40,857 --> 00:03:43,577
Speaker 1: I know that there's this, oh fight a war with

55
00:03:43,737 --> 00:03:47,097
Speaker 1: you know, Geneva Convention and more humanitarian. The Israelis have

56
00:03:47,177 --> 00:03:50,177
Speaker 1: been very humanity, very humanitarian in the way they fought

57
00:03:50,177 --> 00:03:53,537
Speaker 1: a war. But war is inherently anti humanitarian.

58
00:03:53,577 --> 00:03:54,377
Speaker 2: This is the truth.

59
00:03:55,337 --> 00:03:58,737
Speaker 1: This is something that everyone you would think should and

60
00:03:59,017 --> 00:04:01,697
Speaker 1: would understand at this point if they were trying to

61
00:04:02,577 --> 00:04:09,217
Speaker 1: know about what's really what's really at issue here. There's

62
00:04:09,217 --> 00:04:11,097
Speaker 1: no there's no such thing is a war that has

63
00:04:11,177 --> 00:04:16,897
Speaker 1: fought that doesn't have terrible tragedy and loss. War as

64
00:04:16,977 --> 00:04:20,297
Speaker 1: hell is true. The Israelis are trying to make it

65
00:04:20,377 --> 00:04:23,217
Speaker 1: less hellish, but they have every right to fight this war.

66
00:04:23,977 --> 00:04:26,657
Speaker 1: And I view this and have from the very beginning

67
00:04:26,777 --> 00:04:30,137
Speaker 1: as quite straightforward. Hamas chose this fight. It is a

68
00:04:30,257 --> 00:04:32,777
Speaker 1: very bad idea. It is a very dumb thing to do,

69
00:04:33,737 --> 00:04:39,377
Speaker 1: to invade and provoke a war with a more powerful entity.

70
00:04:40,217 --> 00:04:42,257
Speaker 1: But what we know from Hamas and the way that

71
00:04:42,297 --> 00:04:46,577
Speaker 1: they operate is they want to both kill Israelis and

72
00:04:46,697 --> 00:04:49,217
Speaker 1: provoke the killing of their own people to then blame

73
00:04:49,257 --> 00:04:53,297
Speaker 1: on the Israelis. And this strategy is something that a

74
00:04:53,297 --> 00:04:57,457
Speaker 1: lot of people in America unfortunately are falling for. And

75
00:04:57,817 --> 00:05:03,697
Speaker 1: they left because they have this predilection to always side

76
00:05:03,697 --> 00:05:07,257
Speaker 1: with the people they view as the victims, Democrats, the left,

77
00:05:07,257 --> 00:05:11,497
Speaker 1: the communists. They think that the Palestinians are a fashionable cause.

78
00:05:12,657 --> 00:05:17,377
Speaker 1: But really it's been fascinating to watch how the arguments

79
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:21,337
Speaker 1: that are leveled against Israel. If you just apply basic

80
00:05:21,337 --> 00:05:25,857
Speaker 1: scrutiny to it, you realize this is a very poor argument,

81
00:05:26,497 --> 00:05:30,137
Speaker 1: a very dishonest argument, and that there's often something at

82
00:05:30,137 --> 00:05:33,377
Speaker 1: issue I think much deeper than just criticism of the

83
00:05:33,417 --> 00:05:37,097
Speaker 1: conduct of the war. The criticism often I think seems

84
00:05:37,137 --> 00:05:39,697
Speaker 1: to come from a deeper place.

85
00:05:40,137 --> 00:05:40,937
Speaker 2: Especially on the left.

86
00:05:40,977 --> 00:05:43,657
Speaker 1: I'll get back into this here in a moment. But

87
00:05:43,737 --> 00:05:47,337
Speaker 1: our sponsor is Birch Gold. And look at where the

88

Speaker 1: portion of your savings in gold. Maybe consider having some

91
00:05:56,737 --> 00:05:59,537
Speaker 1: retirement savings like IRA or four to one k in gold,

92
00:05:59,897 --> 00:06:02,257
Speaker 1: whether it's as a hedge against inflation, or you just

93
00:06:02,297 --> 00:06:05,177
Speaker 1: believe in the long term gold thesis. And Birch Gold

94

Speaker 2: who you should go with.

104
00:06:33,017 --> 00:06:36,297
Speaker 1: So here's Trump on the situation with Hamasus's cut eighteen

105
00:06:36,377 --> 00:06:38,457
Speaker 1: play the.

106
00:06:38,417 --> 00:06:40,897
Speaker 3: People of Israel want or that happen. But the people

107
00:06:41,017 --> 00:06:44,857
Speaker 3: related to hostages. I mean, you see in Israel tens

108
00:06:44,857 --> 00:06:48,057
Speaker 3: of thousands of people. They really want the hostages back,

109
00:06:48,217 --> 00:06:50,337
Speaker 3: and they really want things to end. And I think

110
00:06:50,417 --> 00:06:54,617
Speaker 3: Amas now has been All I can say is they've

111
00:06:54,657 --> 00:06:58,057
Speaker 3: been fine. They've been fine. I hope it's gonna continue

112
00:06:58,097 --> 00:07:00,097
Speaker 3: that way. I think it will. I really think we're

113
00:07:00,097 --> 00:07:02,097
Speaker 3: gonna have a deal. We have a really good chance

114
00:07:02,137 --> 00:07:04,457
Speaker 3: of making a deal, and it'll be a lasting deal.

115
00:07:04,497 --> 00:07:07,137
Speaker 3: We're gonna have peace. This is beyond Gaza, guys, is

116
00:07:07,177 --> 00:07:09,497
Speaker 3: a big deal. But this, this is really peace in

117
00:07:09,537 --> 00:07:10,057
Speaker 3: the Middle East.

118
00:07:11,737 --> 00:07:13,977
Speaker 1: I hope that this is true and that there's a

119
00:07:14,057 --> 00:07:18,097
Speaker 1: broader piece that can be achieved here. Remember there is

120
00:07:18,937 --> 00:07:24,137
Speaker 1: let's talk about the positive, the upside case here for

121
00:07:24,297 --> 00:07:28,177
Speaker 1: what's going on broadly speaking in the Middle East. I

122
00:07:28,177 --> 00:07:31,457
Speaker 1: think the position of Israel could soon be more secure

123
00:07:31,897 --> 00:07:35,657
Speaker 1: in the Middle East across the board, could be less

124
00:07:36,897 --> 00:07:41,537
Speaker 1: influenced by malevolent actors, terrorist groups, terrorist.

125
00:07:41,377 --> 00:07:44,297
Speaker 2: Entities than in any time in decades.

126
00:07:45,497 --> 00:07:51,857
Speaker 1: Hesblah has been defangd Hamas has been largely eradicated. Iran's

127
00:07:51,937 --> 00:07:56,617
Speaker 1: nuclear program has been truly set back for the foreseeable future,

128
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:59,337
Speaker 1: and more than that, Iran is on notice that we'll

129
00:07:59,377 --> 00:08:01,497
Speaker 1: just blow up your stuff if you keep playing these games,

130
00:08:01,577 --> 00:08:03,937
Speaker 1: or the Israelis will, or we will too, actually as

131
00:08:03,977 --> 00:08:08,017
Speaker 1: we know. But with all of that happening, there is

132
00:08:08,097 --> 00:08:11,257
Speaker 1: a chance here for things to quiet down in a

133
00:08:11,337 --> 00:08:15,017
Speaker 1: region that has seemed allergic to quiet for unfortunately far

134
00:08:15,097 --> 00:08:18,137
Speaker 1: too long. And that's a good thing, but it will

135
00:08:18,217 --> 00:08:22,937
Speaker 1: come at the price of a lot of fighting, a

136
00:08:22,977 --> 00:08:26,577
Speaker 1: lot of fighting that has been underway, and the Israelis

137
00:08:26,617 --> 00:08:29,497
Speaker 1: have had to take on this enemy of Hamas. The

138
00:08:29,537 --> 00:08:33,017
Speaker 1: people that are saying, I might note that we need

139
00:08:33,017 --> 00:08:38,417
Speaker 1: to recognize a Palestinian states. What has gone on here

140
00:08:38,977 --> 00:08:42,777
Speaker 1: that indicates that a Palestinian state is in any way

141
00:08:42,817 --> 00:08:45,897
Speaker 1: a good idea? Just think about that. For I know

142
00:08:45,897 --> 00:08:48,697
Speaker 1: people saying they recognize the Palestini state. What has happened that,

143
00:08:49,417 --> 00:08:55,377
Speaker 1: let's do a little review. Israel gave Gaza to Palestinian control,

144
00:08:55,537 --> 00:08:57,577
Speaker 1: made a unilateral decision. You know what, fine, you can

145
00:08:57,577 --> 00:09:02,297
Speaker 1: have Gaza. And they turned Gaza into an authoritarian Islamist

146
00:09:02,337 --> 00:09:06,817
Speaker 1: hellhole and a launch pad for terrorism. And it all

147
00:09:06,857 --> 00:09:09,257
Speaker 1: came to a head on October seventh, two years ago.

148
00:09:10,457 --> 00:09:13,657
Speaker 1: That's Hamas was the elected leadership to the degree that

149
00:09:13,697 --> 00:09:15,737
Speaker 1: there are free elections there, which there aren't, but they

150
00:09:15,737 --> 00:09:18,457
Speaker 1: had elections that Hamas won, and there's a lot of

151
00:09:18,457 --> 00:09:19,577
Speaker 1: support from the people.

152
00:09:19,657 --> 00:09:20,737
Speaker 2: We're led to believe.

153
00:09:20,457 --> 00:09:23,137
Speaker 1: At least a lot of people of Gaza have supported Hamas,

154
00:09:23,857 --> 00:09:27,017
Speaker 1: So you want to reward that with a state. Why

155
00:09:27,097 --> 00:09:29,897
Speaker 1: would they be better this time around running a state

156
00:09:29,937 --> 00:09:31,537
Speaker 1: than they were the last time. I mean, these are

157
00:09:31,577 --> 00:09:34,977
Speaker 1: all very fair questions, and these are questions for which

158
00:09:35,017 --> 00:09:39,417
Speaker 1: I do not think they have any realistic answer. In

159
00:09:39,577 --> 00:09:44,177
Speaker 1: the corridors where criticism of Israel is such a common thing,

160
00:09:45,217 --> 00:09:49,697
Speaker 1: so or such really a compulsion, there's a compulsion. I

161
00:09:49,697 --> 00:09:52,977
Speaker 1: think the criticize is real, and it's more than criticizing

162
00:09:53,057 --> 00:09:57,417
Speaker 1: is fine. It's more along the lines of maligning and hatred,

163
00:09:58,297 --> 00:10:08,177
Speaker 1: as if the problem is the rules based civilization upholding

164
00:10:08,577 --> 00:10:13,617
Speaker 1: Israeli state and not the terror death cult of Hamas.

165
00:10:14,497 --> 00:10:17,417
Speaker 1: Remember Hamas is the government of Gaza, So it was

166
00:10:17,457 --> 00:10:20,937
Speaker 1: a terrorist government that attacked and the people are going

167
00:10:20,977 --> 00:10:22,657
Speaker 1: to there's going to be a price paid by a

168
00:10:22,657 --> 00:10:25,137
Speaker 1: civilian population when they are led by terrorists.

169
00:10:25,177 --> 00:10:27,617
Speaker 2: That is just a clear reality.

170
00:10:27,777 --> 00:10:29,977
Speaker 1: And one thing that I would note with all the

171
00:10:30,137 --> 00:10:33,937
Speaker 1: arguments going on about Gaza and Israel and Hamas and

172
00:10:33,937 --> 00:10:36,857
Speaker 1: all the stuff right now. And this was a very

173
00:10:37,537 --> 00:10:41,417
Speaker 1: very powerful argument in the Giwat days from Christopher Hitchins,

174
00:10:41,457 --> 00:10:48,937
Speaker 1: the socialist but very good on Islamism, very talented writer.

175
00:10:49,537 --> 00:10:51,297
Speaker 2: He said that.

176
00:10:51,257 --> 00:10:55,017
Speaker 1: If the fighting against terrorism is the cause of it,

177
00:10:55,217 --> 00:10:58,337
Speaker 1: then the terrorists always get to win, and that is

178
00:10:58,377 --> 00:11:01,977
Speaker 1: the truth of Hamas. If taking the fight to Hamas

179
00:11:02,057 --> 00:11:05,377
Speaker 1: after they do something like October seventh is the real problem,

180
00:11:05,417 --> 00:11:07,977
Speaker 1: if the response is the real problem, well then they win.

181
00:11:09,097 --> 00:11:11,217
Speaker 1: And it seems very clear to me, especially with people

182
00:11:11,217 --> 00:11:14,017
Speaker 1: calling for ceasefires, that is the whole design of this thing.

183
00:11:14,857 --> 00:11:17,537
Speaker 1: Israel is just supposed to take it and suffer and

184
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:21,657
Speaker 1: be destroyed. And anything other than that, there's going to

185
00:11:21,657 --> 00:11:24,217
Speaker 1: be people finding a way. They're going to contort all

186
00:11:24,337 --> 00:11:28,257
Speaker 1: logic and morality to make it actually that Israel.

187
00:11:28,337 --> 00:11:29,297
Speaker 2: Israel is the problem.

188
00:11:29,497 --> 00:11:33,017
Speaker 1: Sponsor here is Paradigm Press. Look, AI is a big deal.

189
00:11:33,097 --> 00:11:35,937
Speaker 1: As technology advances go, AI is going to be a

190
00:11:35,937 --> 00:11:38,857
Speaker 1: game changer. That is obvious. President Trump wants to see

191
00:11:38,857 --> 00:11:42,657
Speaker 1: our country emerge as the leader artificial intelligence again, and

192
00:11:42,897 --> 00:11:45,617
Speaker 1: this current administration is doing a lot to that end.

193
00:11:45,857 --> 00:11:48,657
Speaker 1: I think they're preparing an estimated trillion dollars plus an

194
00:11:48,657 --> 00:11:51,857
Speaker 1: investment drawing in multiple partners I called the Manhattan Project

195
00:11:51,857 --> 00:11:54,577
Speaker 1: too to take back our lead in the AI arms race,

196
00:11:55,017 --> 00:11:57,857
Speaker 1: could trigger an investment boom that hits soon as in

197
00:11:57,977 --> 00:12:00,217
Speaker 1: this month. Soon, I break it all down into a

198
00:12:00,217 --> 00:12:02,537
Speaker 1: brand new interview including the companies that I believe could

199
00:12:02,577 --> 00:12:05,137
Speaker 1: soar when this comes about. Find this interview in all

200
00:12:05,137 --> 00:12:09,257
Speaker 1: the details online at a website off air twenty five

201
00:12:09,537 --> 00:12:14,457
Speaker 1: dot com. That's off air twenty five dot com paid

202
00:12:14,497 --> 00:12:16,097
Speaker 1: for by Paradigm Press.

203
00:12:17,017 --> 00:12:19,457
Speaker 2: So where is this all? Where's this all.

204
00:12:19,337 --> 00:12:22,577
Speaker 1: Going with Israel in the Middle East and Hamas I

205
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:26,977
Speaker 1: think that we're going to see the Trump administration could

206
00:12:27,097 --> 00:12:31,297
Speaker 1: very well broker a deal here that if it was

207
00:12:31,337 --> 00:12:34,937
Speaker 1: any other administration, you'd be hearing about Nobel Peace Press.

208
00:12:34,977 --> 00:12:36,937
Speaker 2: And also the thing about Trump and.

209
00:12:36,937 --> 00:12:40,777
Speaker 1: A Nobel Peace Prize is these these things have always

210
00:12:40,857 --> 00:12:46,377
Speaker 1: been held up by the establishment, by the global elites

211
00:12:46,897 --> 00:12:50,497
Speaker 1: as having all this meeting. But I think Arafat got

212
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:53,297
Speaker 1: a Nobel Peace Prize. Barack Obama got a Nobel Peace

213
00:12:53,297 --> 00:12:57,697
Speaker 1: Prize just for being alive. So it's been demeaned as

214
00:12:57,697 --> 00:12:59,337
Speaker 1: an award. But the funny thing about it is that

215
00:12:59,297 --> 00:13:01,337
Speaker 1: if they had to give it to Trump, it would

216
00:13:01,377 --> 00:13:03,377
Speaker 1: just drive the libs insane. So much of what we

217
00:13:03,417 --> 00:13:07,217
Speaker 1: see going on with Trump, that is that is worthwhile,

218
00:13:07,257 --> 00:13:12,817
Speaker 1: and that makes me smile. Not right, So much of

219
00:13:12,857 --> 00:13:17,297
Speaker 1: it is just about antagonizing the worst elements in American

220
00:13:17,377 --> 00:13:22,457
Speaker 1: society by Trump being funny or doing something that upsets

221
00:13:22,497 --> 00:13:24,017
Speaker 1: their apple cart, you know.

222
00:13:24,097 --> 00:13:26,017
Speaker 2: And so that part of it, I have to say.

223
00:13:25,817 --> 00:13:28,297
Speaker 1: I am all in favor of. I mean that aspect

224
00:13:28,337 --> 00:13:32,017
Speaker 1: of what's going on here is always fun. But so

225
00:13:32,137 --> 00:13:34,777
Speaker 1: getting that award I think would would greatly upset them.

226
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:36,737
Speaker 1: And I also, as you know, I was in Taiwan

227
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:40,057
Speaker 1: and if you should go check out the interview. By

228
00:13:40,057 --> 00:13:42,097
Speaker 1: the way, Bloomberg has picked it up now, a lot

229
00:13:42,137 --> 00:13:45,697
Speaker 1: of Asian news services, news organizations have picked it up,

230
00:13:46,897 --> 00:13:50,817
Speaker 1: the sit down with President Lai. I think that, Look,

231
00:13:50,817 --> 00:13:53,177
Speaker 1: Taiwan's going to be the next major flashpoint right now.

232
00:13:53,217 --> 00:13:57,857
Speaker 1: It's Russia, Ukraine, Israel and Gaza are coming to a conclusion.

233
00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:01,697
Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine is still going on, but it's there's some

234
00:14:01,937 --> 00:14:05,337
Speaker 1: stasis there as in there both sides are dug in.

235
00:14:05,377 --> 00:14:09,577
Speaker 1: You don't have these massive changes in territory or anything

236
00:14:09,617 --> 00:14:14,537
Speaker 1: like that. Having seen all that I've seen from being

237
00:14:14,617 --> 00:14:16,817
Speaker 1: in Taiwan and meeting with the top leadership there, including

238
00:14:16,857 --> 00:14:20,177
Speaker 1: the President, the Vice president, national Security advisor, national Security Council,

239
00:14:20,297 --> 00:14:23,457
Speaker 1: touring a military base, touring drone factories, I mean, all

240
00:14:23,497 --> 00:14:26,137
Speaker 1: the things that we had going on there. China's China

241
00:14:26,177 --> 00:14:28,937
Speaker 1: is preparing to invade this country, and that's.

242
00:14:28,777 --> 00:14:30,017
Speaker 2: Going to be a huge problem.

243
00:14:30,417 --> 00:14:32,257
Speaker 1: Even if you don't care about Taiwan at all, and

244
00:14:32,297 --> 00:14:35,057
Speaker 1: I mean I think that we should. We should care

245
00:14:35,857 --> 00:14:39,297
Speaker 1: insofar as well. There's certainly a moral argument you can make,

246
00:14:39,337 --> 00:14:41,457
Speaker 1: but we're not the world's police. I get that, But

247
00:14:41,537 --> 00:14:43,857
Speaker 1: we have to care because of the technology production that

248
00:14:43,897 --> 00:14:47,817
Speaker 1: they have, our world ceases to function the way that

249
00:14:47,857 --> 00:14:52,497
Speaker 1: it currently is set up. If Taiwan isn't making the semiconductors,

250
00:14:52,977 --> 00:14:56,537
Speaker 1: the microchips that it currently produces. And I mean that,

251
00:14:57,177 --> 00:14:59,657
Speaker 1: it's not just a supply chain issue, it's an economic issue,

252
00:14:59,657 --> 00:15:04,097
Speaker 1: it's a technology issue. You are watching this on a

253
00:15:04,137 --> 00:15:06,897
Speaker 1: device that is only possible because of what Taiwan makes

254
00:15:06,937 --> 00:15:09,457
Speaker 1: every day. You are listening to this on a device

255
00:15:09,497 --> 00:15:12,057
Speaker 1: that there's only posible because of what How did this

256
00:15:12,337 --> 00:15:15,657
Speaker 1: small country become the global leader? And manufacturing these things.

257
00:15:15,657 --> 00:15:17,617
Speaker 1: That's a whole story unto itself, but it's the truth,

258
00:15:18,377 --> 00:15:21,697
Speaker 1: and we can't change that right now, and we have

259
00:15:21,777 --> 00:15:23,537
Speaker 1: to pay attention to it therefore, and to let that

260
00:15:23,657 --> 00:15:27,977
Speaker 1: slide into Chinese Communist party hands would be a disaster.

261
00:15:29,337 --> 00:15:35,137
Speaker 1: But Trump figuring out a way to also calm that

262
00:15:35,217 --> 00:15:39,537
Speaker 1: situation would be worthy. I think of a Nobel Peace prize.

263
00:15:39,537 --> 00:15:41,137
Speaker 2: To the degree we care about a Nobel.

264
00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:44,897
Speaker 1: Peace prize, which is obviously debatable, I want to tell

265
00:15:44,897 --> 00:15:47,377
Speaker 1: you about Preborn. They're doing incredible work. To date, they've

266
00:15:47,417 --> 00:15:50,937
Speaker 1: saved the lives of forty thousand unborn babies. Preborn's mission

267
00:15:50,977 --> 00:15:53,777
Speaker 1: is to save lives every day by presenting pregnant mother's

268
00:15:53,817 --> 00:15:56,497
Speaker 1: contemplating an abortion with a better alternative life for their

269
00:15:56,617 --> 00:15:59,577
Speaker 1: unborn child. A team of people working at Preborn clinics

270
00:15:59,577 --> 00:16:02,497
Speaker 1: provide pregnant moms with offers of support and assistance. They've

271
00:16:02,537 --> 00:16:04,577
Speaker 1: also found that offering the gift of an ultrasound to

272
00:16:04,617 --> 00:16:07,097
Speaker 1: that pregnant mom can make all the difference, and they

273
00:16:07,097 --> 00:16:10,617
Speaker 1: accomplish this with just twenty eight dollars expense perl ultrasound.

274
00:16:10,617 --> 00:16:13,777
Speaker 1: So please would you consider a donation today? Preborn operates

275
00:16:13,777 --> 00:16:16,897
Speaker 1: clinics and communities across our nation, especially where abortion rates

276
00:16:16,897 --> 00:16:18,617
Speaker 1: are really high, because they want to save as many

277
00:16:18,617 --> 00:16:21,617
Speaker 1: babies as possible. To donate securely, just dial pound two

278
00:16:21,657 --> 00:16:24,977
Speaker 1: fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound twenty five zero.
