If you want to be a part 19 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: of the program. Two things We're going to hit with 20 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: our next guest, Cash Patel, former chief of staff of 21 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: the Pentagon. And what's fascinating in all of this is 22 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: nobody in the mediu mob really has paid attention to 23 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: the fact that all these reports Biden's sharing intelligence of 24 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: Russian aggression and the lead up to this invasion of 25 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: Ukraine with China, and then China passing it on to 26 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: their buddy Putin and their friends in Russia. How did 27 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: that not get widely reported and widely criticized. Listen to 28 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: cash Btel a colossal good Marie Marie, is a colossal 29 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: failure of leadership, and it shows another distinction yet between 30 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: the Biden administration and the Trump administration. The fact that 31 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: the commander in chief wouldn't answer that question that no 32 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: one is covering leads me to believe that he took 33 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: classified intelligence and the reporting is accurate now for multiple sources, 34 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: and handed it over to our world's biggest enemy, the 35 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: US's biggest enemy, China, and then, of course China was 36 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: going to turn around and give it to Russia because 37 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: Shi Jingping and Putin have paired up and teamed up 38 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: against the United States of America. The fact that this 39 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: commander in chief did not know that was going to 40 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: happen is outrageous. But what is tantamount and disrupts American 41 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: national security is that we're actually doing that. We as 42 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: the United States, are actually sharing classified information that jeopardizes 43 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: Ukrainian national security, his students, European national security interests, and 44 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: Americans lives. It's being shared with our enemy, who is 45 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: sharing it with the next biggest enemy of America. It 46 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: is just something that never happened under Trump, and the 47 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: fact that it's happening under Biden needs to be fully investigated. 48 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: You can't even make this up. Cash Betel's with those 49 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: former Pentagon cheap of staff Sir, A great question. How 50 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: did that happen and why didn't anybody realize how stupid 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: that is? Hey, Shan, great to be with you, and 52 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: thanks for covering this important topic that literally almost no 53 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: one else is talking about. I mean, I'll just flipped 54 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: the Scriptean. Imagine if President Trump took classified information and 55 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: gave it to Shi Jing Ping or Putin, we'd be 56 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: in fifteen rounds of impeachment. And the reason that Joe 57 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: Biden is allowed to get away with it is because 58 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: he obviously has a meeting that's covering up for him 59 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: and that won't cover these issues. But he and his 60 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: national security apparatus actually convinced him it was a good 61 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: idea to share classified information with China. My question is 62 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: did they go through the declassification process before they gave 63 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: it to shi Jing Ping, Because if they did it, 64 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: that's a violation of federal law. They charged me and 65 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: Trump with doing that, But we abided by the process 66 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: anytime we dealt with classified information. And it's another example 67 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: of a two cheered system of how the rules applied 68 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: to a commander in chief. If you're a Democrat and 69 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: your name is Joe Biden. But the biggest travesty is 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: the fact that our commander in chief thinks or thought, 71 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: and his team thinks or thought that that was a 72 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: good idea when you look back now and how the media, 73 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: for example, this phone call with Zolensky and Donald Trump, 74 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: and Zolenski even said publicly that I didn't feel any 75 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: pressure from Donald Trump. The one fact witness. There was 76 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: only one one fact witness and that whole impeachment. Everybody 77 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: else was a hearsay witness or an opinion witness, none 78 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: of which their testimony was meaningless. But then you have 79 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden on tape admitting You're not getting a billion 80 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: dollars unless you fire this Ukrainian prosecutor investigating my son 81 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: being paid millions, who admits on Good Morning America he 82 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: had no experience and energy, oil gas or Ukraine. And 83 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: then he's asked, well, why do you think you got 84 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: all this money? I don knew. Maybe because your dad's 85 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: in charge of Ukraine for the Obama administration. Probably, so 86 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: ignore that. But there's something bigger here, and that is 87 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: this Hunter Biden laptop from hell. Almost everybody said the 88 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: same thing that this laptop was Russian misinformation. It was 89 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: two weeks before the election. And if you look at 90 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: the money that Hunter Biden made and look what's on 91 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: that laptop, and look at the emails specifically referencing Joe 92 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: Biden's cut in all of this, and the billion five 93 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: deal with the Bank of China, or Peter Schweitzer's new 94 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: book points out the thirty million other moneys from China. 95 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: When you look at the Russian oligarch and the former 96 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: first Lady of Moscow and millions of dollars go on 97 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: a Hunter's firm, you look at Bismund the millions that 98 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: he made in Ukraine, it seems to me that if 99 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: the last name were Trump, that the media would have 100 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: handled us very differently, starting with the lab top two 101 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: weeks before the election. Yep, it's You're exactly right. Just 102 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: like the classified information we just talked about, if the 103 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: last name were Trump, and we're talking about Don Junior, 104 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: they would have been federal inquiries from now until the 105 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: end of time, and not to mention all the grand 106 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: jury that would have been utilized. But at least finally 107 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: it's now coming out and thanks to you're reporting the continuous, 108 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: relentless reporting on the truth on this one. That Hunter 109 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Biden laptop is not a fiction. And here's the stunning part. 110 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: You and I knew it long ago. Fifty national security officials, 111 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: two former CIA directors, and one former director of the 112 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: National Security Agency all came out and signed a document 113 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: and said that the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation, 114 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: and they lopped it over to the left wing media 115 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and the fake news ran with it to crush that 116 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: narrative even though they knew it was false. And it's 117 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: one step removed from that is these national security officials 118 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: were not in position to have access to that information. 119 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: So what do they do? They just guessed because they 120 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: knew the left wing would lack onto it and the 121 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: media would report it. And who gets hurt by that 122 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: type of information misinformation the American people and our faith 123 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: in our institutions of justice and intelligence, because you see 124 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: a two tiered system of justice for the likes of 125 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden versus the likes of Don Junior versus the 126 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: likes of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And that's what 127 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: ticks off America the most. But it's finally coming out, 128 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: and it looks like, you know, from my days as 129 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: a former federal prosecutor, it looks like this investigation in 130 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is still active and is very much ongoing, 131 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: and they've put people in the grand jury. And I 132 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: didn't put grand people in the grand jury unless I 133 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: was bringing a federal indictment for as the March nineteenth 134 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: Saturday edition of The New York Post had is their 135 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: front cover spies who lie, the intelligence experts that falsely 136 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: discredited Hunter Biden's laptop and still won't say they're sorry. 137 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: That included Brennan and Clapper and people like Leon Panetta 138 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: and then a lot of names. Michael Hayden was one 139 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: of them, and then a lot of names that you 140 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: would know that many other Americans wouldn't know. But these 141 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: are the people that are at the highest level, fifty 142 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: one former intelligence officials. They were willing to go with 143 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: the lie for political reasons, which shouldn't surprise everybody, because 144 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: these are the same people, many of the same people 145 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: that pushed the phony Russian dirty disinformation dossier that Hillary 146 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Clinton paid for that literally put this country on hold 147 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: for three and a half years, and it all turned 148 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: out to be debunked and full of lies. You're absolutely 149 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: right if it's the same m whether it's Russia Gate, 150 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: Ukraine impeachment fiasco, Hopes, or Tuner Biden laptop, what do 151 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: they do? They damn the fact. They say, let's talk, 152 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: let's get anonymous reporting. Then let's get former federal officials 153 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: to talk about the anonymous reporting, and then we'll put 154 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: it on the front page of every fake news publication 155 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: and we'll say the right wing media was lying the 156 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: entire time because we have anonymous reporting and completely biased 157 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: individuals like Komey, Clapper, McCabe and the like, who all 158 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: are have been caught I believe, lying under oath, doing 159 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: their jobs improperly fired for doing so. And these are 160 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: the sources and individuals that the what left wing medias 161 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: are lying on to prop up these narratives. And they've 162 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: done it over and over and over again. And we 163 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: caught him in Russia Gate, we caught him in the 164 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: Ukraine p hm in fiasco, we caught him during Hunter 165 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop nonsense. And I think John Durham's going to 166 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: catch him all. And why do you believe that? Because 167 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't have the confidence that that's going to happen. I, 168 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: for the life of me, I was pretty pissed off 169 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: that it took Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General, as long 170 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: as it took him, But he did have referrals, and 171 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: it was a very for me. It was full vindication 172 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: of all my reporting, pretty damning for the rest of 173 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: the media mob. And I would argue that even the 174 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: low hanging fruit he could have gone after and he 175 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: hasn't done so why yeah, So, I think you know 176 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: from my days of the form of federal prosecutor, building 177 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: large scale conspiracy cases and doing terrorism prosecutions when you 178 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: involved classified information. I spent three, four or five years 179 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: before I got to the X on an indictment and 180 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: he's in year two and if you look at the 181 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: three indictments he'd leveled so far again the FBI, against 182 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: the Clinton lawyer campaign and against the Steele dossier source. 183 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: He's lifted in those indictments by name, dozens of individuals 184 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: or at least by title, like Jake Sullivans of the 185 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: world who have had their hand in this conspiracy. And 186 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: you don't do that as a federal prosecutor unless you 187 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: put witnesses in a grand jury, unless you've obtained documents, 188 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: and you're working on the larger scale conspiracy case. And 189 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: that's the thing that comes at the end these little indictments, 190 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: and little is not the right word, but these indictments 191 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: had the precursor indictments that lay out their entire strategy 192 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: for this prosecution. So who would you see as the 193 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: natural targets of dorm at this point, based on the 194 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: little that we know in terms of the direction he's 195 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: headed with Susman, etc. Andy McKay, the former deputy director 196 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: of the FBI and the acting earth for the FBI, 197 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: who signed one of the fizes, I think, well, JA, 198 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: wait a minute, James Comey signed three of the four fiveses. 199 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: And we knew by that point, we knew that Christopher 200 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: still even admitted that some of his dossier wasn't accurate, 201 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: the subsource deny the entire dossier by the time the 202 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: third warrant came around, or the second warrant even and 203 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: then he still did it. In Rob Rosenstein assigned the 204 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: fourth warrant. No, I agree. Look, I think all those 205 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: people should be should be indicted. But the problem is 206 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: that you and I Sham both knows that is there 207 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: enough evidence to do that? And I just don't think James, comey, 208 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: wait a minute, doesn't it say doesn't it say that 209 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: you have affirmed the veracity of this on the top 210 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: of a FISA warrant? It does, But he can come 211 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: in and say he was just relying on seventeen people 212 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: in front of him. He always left himself and out. 213 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: That's why that guy's the biggest most corrupt FBI director 214 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: will ever have in US history. He's not dumb, unfortunately, 215 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: and he knew exactly what he was doing to the 216 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: detriment of the American people, so he could come out 217 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: and pump his chest and say he was, you know, 218 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: the savior of our Republican and what would like say, 219 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: happened to struck In Page or you know, the Director 220 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: of National Intelligence or former CIA directors or any of 221 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: these other people. They're going to be held accountable. I 222 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: think I'll like to struck in Page Will if I 223 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: was them, I'd be cooperating. And you know, I'm hearing 224 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: that they might be already cooperating. M to get the 225 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: individuals you just talked to, or at least get them 226 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: in the in the in the report. But I'm hopeful 227 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: for about six more indictments come the spring and summer 228 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: about some of the individuals we've talked about about the 229 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: individuals I investigating. When I ran the Rushigate investigation for 230 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: chairman nun has An exposed this whole thing. I have 231 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: some personal stake in this. Shan So struck Page and 232 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: all those that entire Crew Bruce or Fusion, GPS, Len 233 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: Sits and all of them. Quick break, we'll be right 234 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: back more with Cash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff 235 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one. Shawn is a number. 236 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the 237 00:12:39,920 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: half hour. Right more with Cash Patel for Pentagon chief 238 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: of staff is with us. Let me ask you this 239 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: question because you went before the January sixth committee, and 240 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: I keep saying the fact that the chairman has said 241 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: that Nancy Pelosi's off limits, and you were in the 242 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: Oval Office with five people on January fourth when President 243 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: Trump authorized you told me up to twenty thousand troops 244 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: should they be needed for January six knowing a lot 245 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: of people are going to be in town, knowing we 246 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: came off a summer rioting, knowing that there's always unsavory 247 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: characters in any big crowd. So my question to you 248 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: is you have confirmed this to me. President Trump has 249 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: publicly confirmed this to me. Mark Meadows has a confirmed 250 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: this to me. Now, the other two people in the room, 251 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, with the Defense Secretary and the 252 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, have either one of them 253 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: publicly said that that's accurate. I believe the Defense Secretary, 254 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: Chris Miller, has said that publicly. I'm not sure what 255 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: he said underclosed or testimony, but I've known Chris for 256 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: twenty plus years, and my camp team saying otherwise because 257 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: he was in the room. Now, as to Mark Milly, 258 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: you and I both know what kind of man Mark 259 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: Milly is still saying do anything including call our enemy 260 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: China and give them the heads up if we're going 261 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: to go to war to them, and save time for 262 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: interviews with Bob Woodward and company before actually strategizing how 263 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: to get it up Afghanistan, so it WoT it wouldn't shot. 264 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: So then the question is if we want to And 265 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: by the way, I want to make sure this never 266 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: happens again. And I was saying it in real time 267 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: on January sixth on air on this radio program when 268 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: it was unfolding, and I said it that night on TV. 269 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more clear. And just like I 270 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: spoke out about the five hundred and seventy four riots, 271 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: I believe in the rule of law, and I believe 272 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: that people that don't follow it deserve to get punished. 273 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: But the question is, once Donald Trump, as required by law, 274 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: authorized the calling up of the Guard, then the jurisdiction 275 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: switched to Nancy Pelosi, the speaker. It's her job to 276 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: protect the capital and the jurisdiction of Mayor Bowser. And 277 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: yet neither one of these people are being interviewed by 278 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: the committee. Why is that, Well, I mean, they call 279 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: themselves a jan six committee Sean, and I can tell 280 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: you about my time six hours in front of them. 281 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: They spent four of those hours talking to me about Afghanistan, 282 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: the Oval office, President Trump, the media, and they spent 283 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: less than half that time talking about Jan six So 284 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: you and I both know it's a political charade to 285 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: get guys like me rolled up, spend six figures and 286 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: attorneys and try to stamp out the media narrative. But 287 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm not taking a knee and why these people being 288 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: held account of Pelosi and Bowser and stuff that won't 289 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: happen to you and I both know that shown until 290 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: the Republicans have the gabble, they're not going to call 291 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: those folks in to testify. So is you believe in 292 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: the end it's a predetermined outcome, Yes, a political narrative. Look, 293 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: the only thing they have to run on right now 294 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: for the midterm election they being the Democrats and Pelosi 295 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: is Jan sixth, and up until a while ago, they 296 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: had no other narrative. And now they're running, you know, 297 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: somehow on the Ukraine tragedy. They'll they'll politicide that. But 298 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: that's the only thing they got left because their policies 299 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: that you've reported they have completely failed American people and 300 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden on at least on a national security and 301 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: law enforcems the front American listen beyond them willing you know, 302 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: to give humanitarian aid and some javelins and stingers. I'm 303 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: not exactly sure why Joe Biden denied the MiGs to 304 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian people that are shown a willingness to fight 305 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: hard and save their own freedom in their own country 306 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: is beyond what I understand it. It's certainly not the 307 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: Reagan doctrine as I understood it, nor was it the 308 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: Trump doctrine as I understood it. The two doctrines I 309 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: support the most. But Cash Patel always love having you on. 310 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us, former Pentagon chief of Staff, 311 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: Thanks for all you do, and hopefully we'll have it 312 00:16:47,440 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: back soon.

Some people didn't like that I had 318 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: Sean penn On, but I would say ninety five seven 319 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: percent of people like the exchange, the back and forth, 320 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: because it's not somebody I would ever agree with on 321 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: any other political issue. But we talked. We had a 322 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: discussion about Ukraine. He's very passionate about it. Tiered up 323 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: a number of times, and it's anyway, it's got such 324 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: a reaction.

All right? So I make the first 338 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: phone call to you. I don't know if you remember, 339 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: and I said I'm interested in the work that you're 340 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: doing and why you were there even before the war started, 341 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: and this documentary you're doing. Do you remember what you 342 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: first said to me, I do What would you say? 343 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: I said that I don't trust you? Is there a 344 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: reason you didn't trust me? Yeah, there's a lot of 345 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: reasons I don't trust you, but my trust or your trust, 346 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, there's so many people that don't trust their spouse. 347 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: And yet we've got to get on with life. And 348 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: we've got a situation that I've never felt this way 349 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: about where our country is and what I experienced emotionally 350 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, where it had not We all talk about 351 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: how divisive things are, how divided things are here, but 352 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: when you step into a country of such incredible unity, 353 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: you realize what we've all been missing. And I don't 354 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: think that I've got time to indulge my lack of trust, 355 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: which it becomes a petty thing as people and babies 356 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: are being vaporized, and that these people are fighting for 357 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: the very dreams that they're the aspiration of all of 358 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: us Americans. And we talked about that too. We InCred 359 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: that that we've got to take their example. We'll worry 360 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: about political disagreements. If you ever want to come back 361 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: another day, you're always environed enough. Here's what I want 362 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: to know. You were there in November of twenty twenty one, Okay, 363 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: were really We're not even talking about the real lead 364 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: up to this conflict at by that point, right, Why 365 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: were you there originally to do a documentary? What was 366 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: it about Ukraine? Or maybe it was about Zolinsky that 367 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: interested you? Well, I think I was on a better 368 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: part of the population most Americans in any understanding of Ukraine? 369 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: What was Ukraine? Who was Ukraine? Where was Ukraine? With 370 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: the exception of a phone call between Presidents Zolensky and 371 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: President Trump that was made a lot of and and 372 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: the fact that President Zolensky had been a comedic actor 373 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: who had played a character that then became the president 374 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 1: and then became the president. We went initially to make 375 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: a documentary that had would bring home a sense of 376 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: Ukraine and of a profile of this president, but it 377 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been as interesting. And then the next thing 378 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: you do is you just build up of Vladimir Putin 379 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: on the eastern side of Ukraine. You got personally a 380 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: fifty thousand troops and it's one hundred thousand troops and 381 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: all the military equipment, and you're chronicling all of this, 382 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: and you develop a relationship with Zolensky. Yeah, tell us. 383 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: As as this was unfolding, a lot of the world 384 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: didn't think that Putin would do it. I did think 385 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: he would. You know, all the experts too, thought that 386 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: he would. Most of the experts that that were speaking 387 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: out in the United States Intelligence Agency and others felt 388 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: that he would. I'll tell you that to the last minute, 389 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: I think the part of me, the part of me 390 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: that would want to be in denial of what that 391 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: would mean to Ukraine and ultimately to the world. I 392 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: thought that it really is there an upside to this 393 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: for him. But what I wasn't, you know, really savvy too, 394 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: was that I gather you and but in particular you know, 395 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: well so universally the experts on the on Putin felt 396 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: this was going to happen. And what didn't happen therefore, 397 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: were the preemptive sanctions on enough of a dramatic level 398 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: before he was so deep in that the humiliation wasn't 399 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: going to let it stop, and that you weren't going 400 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: to have the simplicity of negotiations for regions of the 401 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: Eastern Maripole to be able to make the bridge from Crimea. 402 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: And now it was going to be this Fullana salt, 403 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: and here we are, okay. Prior to Zelenski, I didn't 404 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: know a whole lot about Zelenski, like a lot of people, 405 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: until the infamous phone call. I still to this day, 406 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: I think there was nothing to that phone call. Separate issue. 407 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: But he had taken Georgia. Putin had taken Georgia. No wait, 408 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: he annexed Crimea in twenty fourteen. He has shown a 409 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: willingness to annex takeover land, showing his territorial ambitions. So 410 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: you get there, you're interviewing Zelensky at this time. Did 411 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: he see this coming? Did he believe that this was real? Well, 412 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: it's interesting because we had we had met initially on 413 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: a zoom call back. You trust him a lot. I 414 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: was really interested to see who he was. Yeah, and 415 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: I didn't have the baggage with him. I have with you. 416 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: But what is the baggage we've never met before? Well, 417 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: actually I have, I have as a television as a 418 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: badge of honor in my house. I've got the full 419 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: screen that I dominated the enemy of the statement before 420 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't remember it's the true thing. So, but here's 421 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: what happened is that then because of COVID, once we 422 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: had gotten a sense that he was very much considering 423 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: giving us some kind of access and spending some time 424 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: with us, we were delayed, and we were delayed, and 425 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: so then we went back. We started in shooting in November. 426 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: We went to Mariopol on the front lines, and then 427 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: we also were in kids and talking to um you know, 428 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: musicians and to get a sense of the culture. But 429 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: there was the you know, the Wagner problem that was 430 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: going on at the time, and so the administration was 431 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: very so we couldn't see him. We came back, and 432 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: then this thing really escalated. So then we went I 433 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: think we got there, I don't know, roughly a week 434 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: before the invasion, and we met him. I met him 435 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: face to face for the first time the day before 436 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: the invasion, and then spent time I'm with him in 437 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: which we documented in the film during the invasion on 438 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: the day of the invasion. And I don't know that 439 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: there's a person on earth who could know that they 440 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: were born for such a day that they could rise 441 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: to it. I want to make sure my page when 442 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: you say invasion, was this him taking the two region, dumbass, etc. 443 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: Or oh there were also rockets coming in. This is 444 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: also when they this is when they the airport. Fifteen 445 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: clicks out of kids. So it was it was a 446 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: game on and so too in him, I saw something 447 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: that I've never seen before in my lifetime that, like 448 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: I said, having seen him, yes, prepared for it, yes, 449 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: hoping against hope it would not happen, But a man 450 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: who had not yet been challenged with it's happening. And 451 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: the next day I saw something that is a man, 452 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: but it's a man with the adrenalized He's the face 453 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: of something that you see in all the Ukrainians we 454 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: saw and talked to, whether they were in uniform, out 455 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: of uniform, school teachers, even children. This extraordinary courage that's 456 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: come up and it was in his eyes. And it 457 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: is clear to me that the Ukrainians will win this. 458 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: The question is at what cost? And so one of 459 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: the things we're not seeing, we're not seeing by any 460 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: scale un organizations operating they can. We're also talking about 461 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: a lot of they talk about security for aid and 462 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: supplies being resource to civilians and a military, and for 463 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: civilians in many cases uparmored armored vests are important. So 464 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: one of the things I want to say just about 465 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: what it is being there is that, of course there 466 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: are risks in the conflict zone, but it is not 467 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: what we picture so often about a bunch of here 468 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: we come to save the day foreigners. You take one 469 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: car and one truck is supplies to that border. Give 470 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: that truck and those supplies to Ukrainians who aren't going 471 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: to leave if you ask them too, and are going 472 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: to be at risk with or without our help. So 473 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: we might as well give them the help. They'll bring 474 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: the supplies to where they've got to go. How is 475 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: that any different than I'm saying, supplied the drones, supplied 476 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: the javelins, supply the stingers, because I'm not talking about 477 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: anybody's doctrine about the anti missile systems. They need the 478 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: defense systems, the anti military aircraft systems help, and I 479 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: would give them the mix. Yeah, so we're in agreement. 480 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: We absolutely agree and fight the war to win it, 481 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: and that means to defeat Russia or let them fight 482 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: it to win it, because they will. Well that's what 483 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying, let the Ukrainians fight themselves. Agree. The only 484 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: thing we talked about, the only thing we felt, was 485 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: the deepest sense of heartbreak, first for the Ukrainians who 486 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: were going to fight, be maimed, be injured, be in 487 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: a war of attrition. But very quickly I thought, this one, 488 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: this one, my children are going to feel. If this 489 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: thing is not one, they're going to feel it intangible 490 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: ways in their life. Our children in America, this is 491 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: you and I can argue all day, but I look 492 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: at you and I think you believe in this country 493 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: in your way. I believe it in mind, and I 494 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: think it's at risk because the great dream of it, 495 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: the aspiration of it, with all its diversity, because Ukrainians, 496 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: with all their unity, they got a lot of diverse 497 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: thought over there too. I think we're really at risk 498 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: if we let the greatest, most historic in our lifetime 499 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: fight for democracy against a gigantic superpower of a military 500 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: attimidation done amazingly well and with what they've had out 501 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: manned out kund Yeah. So that's what I felt from 502 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: my time there. I talked to the mayor of Kiev, 503 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: who's Mayor Klitchko, who former world heavyweight champion. Right about 504 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: this is this was in November. This was somebody who 505 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: very well could have run against Lensk in the next 506 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: election and perhaps beating him. We talked to a lot 507 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: of people and that seemed to be the consensus that 508 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: this would be competitive. He didn't have a lot of 509 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: us A praise for the president. Tonight, as we're sitting here, 510 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: that same very powerful figure Clichko has enlisted in President Zelenski, 511 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: that commander in chiefs military in He's in the fight. 512 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: So that tells you everything. I mean, this is leadership. 513 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: We talk about leadership. We talked to leaders. No one 514 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: on the planets been tested in leadership. Is your human being? 515 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: You're really emotional about this. Yeah, And I think the 516 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: Ukrainians will win. Western Europe and America needs to supply 517 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: them with the weaponry to win, and if they do, 518 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: they'll be defeating in my view, evil in our time. 519 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: And that's following the Reagan doctrine and frankly the Trump doctrine. 520 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: Even though you don't care about doctrines, you know what 521 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: the Hannity doctor and has will give it to you quick. 522 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: If you invade a sovereign country, you forfeit your right 523 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: to lead a country, and your forfeit your right to live, 524 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: meaning Vladimir Putin is forfeited his right to live. Last word, well, 525 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: I think that what would be most interesting about that 526 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: conversation is to ask those generals, those military commanders in 527 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: Russia who also have been sanctioned, whose children won't become 528 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: to the United States for their education, or going to 529 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: England for their education, or a lot of other places. 530 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: I am I'm not. I don't. I don't want to 531 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: invest in a conversation, not that I don't have it 532 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: privately about my feelings about what should what direct action 533 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: should happen to a leader who does that. Um. But 534 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: if there is a god, there will be vengeance beyond 535 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: all possible comprehension. Vengeance's mind. Say that the lord quote 536 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: in a very famous book, UM, good luck with your work. 537 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: I hope that this thing, this war ends soon, and 538 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: I hope they are victorious, and I hope Putin gets 539 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: put right back into the grave that he deserves to 540 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: be in for doing this, UM, And I hope it 541 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: stops here. And that's that's Otherwise we gotta ask never 542 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: that'll do what happens that's that's that's a that's a 543 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: bad answer. On the other side, you're invited to come 544 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: back and talk, but you'll never talk politics with me 545 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: on the show.
