1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: If only we had something to talk about. Obviously we do. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: It's a huge foreign policy show. It's a culturally, economically, 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: militarily What does any of this mean for the world 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: for you coming up on I'm riting today. I'm authorizing 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: additional strong sanctions and new limitations on what can be 6 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: exported to Russia. This is going to impose severe cost 7 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: on the Russian economy, both immediately and over time. We 8 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: have purposely designed these sanctions to maximize the long term 9 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: impact on Russia and to minimize the impact in the 10 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: United States and our allies. No one expected the sanctions 11 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: to prevent anything from happening. It has to show. This 12 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: is going to take time, and we have to show 13 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: resolve so he knows what's coming, and so the people 14 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: of Russian know what he's brought on them. That's what 15 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: this is all about. This is going to take time. 16 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: It's not going to occur. He's going to say, oh 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: my god, these sanctions are coming. I'm going to stand down. 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: He's going to test the resolve of the West to 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: see if we stay together, and we will we will 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: and will impose significant costs on him. Did you underestimate 21 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Putin and would you still describe them the way that 22 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: it did in the summer as a worthy adversary. At 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: the time he was I made it clear as an adversary, 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: and I said he was worthy. I didn't underestimate him. 25 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: He wants, to, in fact, re established the former Soviet Union. 26 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: That's what this is about. And I think that his 27 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: ambitions are are completely contrary to the place where the 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: rest of the world has arrived. You're confident that these 29 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: devastating sanctions are going to be as devastating as Russian 30 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: missiles and bullets and tanks. Yeah, Russian bullets, missiles and 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: tanks in Ukraine. Yes, I am okay, so standard Joe 32 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: Biden stuff. This has been consistent for his entire presidency. 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: Just to sum up just what you just heard there, 34 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: it's not difficult to sum up. I'm Joe Biden. I 35 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: did everything right. I saw this coming. I did nothing wrong. 36 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: There was nothing else I could do. Any bad things 37 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: that come from this are not my fault. Blame those 38 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: oil and gas companies and we'll get this thing solved. Okay. Look, 39 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 1: none of that fecklessness you just saw should be any 40 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: kind of a surprise. I don't want to bring up 41 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: old stuff, and we're gonna get to the actual Ukraine 42 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: portion right now. But to remember the embarrassing, internationally embarrassing 43 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan. The troops are dead, troops, equipment left behind, 44 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: killing civilians, the whole thing embarrassed in front of the world. Remember, 45 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: in the wake of that, not one person resigned, not one, 46 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: not one politician, state department official, not one general. Not 47 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: only did nobody resign, no one even express regrets. In fact, 48 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: remember the Pentagon investigated itself for killing the civilians and 49 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: came out and said, look, we didn't do anything wrong. Now, 50 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: why does that matter. What's this have to do with here? Well, 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: let's do keep in mind, when Joe Biden is sitting 52 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: down with his national security team and trying to figure 53 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: out how to deal with an invasion of Ukraine by 54 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, those same people are in the room, the 55 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: same people who made all those decisions on Afghanistan and 56 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: then looked at that disaster and said, we nailed at guys, 57 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: they're making decisions right now. I help you sleep well 58 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: at night. Right, So what is happening right now? Look, 59 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: what's happening is full scale invasion. Now I'm not going 60 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: to comment on each and every tiny thing because we're 61 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: getting reports in as fast as you're getting reports in, 62 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: and trying to cobble together what is true and what 63 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: is not true. Here's what we do know. What we 64 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: do know is artillery fighter jets. There's been an amphibious landing. 65 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: We now have confirmed that there are Russian ground troops 66 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: moving into Ukraine. And we're not talking about a couple 67 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: eastern regions that he's planning on breaking off. This is 68 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: a full blown invasion from three different sides of Ukraine, 69 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: including the capital. There's an air base outside of Kiev. 70 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: They're going after that air base. What it appears to 71 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: be right now, we're moving on to an opinion portion 72 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: of it. This is just what I see, and I've 73 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: been talking to people all day long trying to make 74 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: sure I can bring you the best intelligence I can 75 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: just based on the people I know. From what I 76 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: can see, is Ukraine's gonna last about another day or two. 77 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: Maybe Russia just simply has many capabilities Ukraine does not. 78 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: It goes way beyond troop numbers. You see that a lot. 79 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen all that today. Russia has our 80 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty thousand and Ukraine only that matters. 81 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: That matters, but Russia also has capabilities Ukraines simply can't 82 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: deal with like cyber capabilities. One of the first things 83 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: they did last night was cyber attacks. You start shutting 84 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: down communications, shutting down banking systems, causes chaos, people can't 85 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: talk back and forth. That just cyber attacks are devastating. 86 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: We're not necessarily prepared for one of those in this country, 87 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: but we're not talking about us at the moment. So 88 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: they started off with cyber attacks. Right now they're firing 89 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: at military targets, selective targets. You may have wondered this today. 90 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: You may have wondered, hey, man, I've seen all these 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: internet videos. There's explosions and planes and artillery, and yet 92 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: we're not getting word about massive amounts of Ukrainian death. Now, 93 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: every life matters, so we're not trying to be coldhearted here, 94 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: but you would think artillery schell is going off fighter jets. 95 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: How many ten thousand, twenty thousand. We're hearing numbers like 96 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: forty one hundred two hundred. It will go way up 97 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: from there. I'm not discounting it will go up, but 98 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: the numbers weren't that drastically huge. Why it appears this 99 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: is back to the opinion portion of it. It appears 100 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Putin is going for an easy w meaning take out 101 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: their communications, take out the military installations, essentially, go after 102 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: a few precision targets, so you can get Ukraine to 103 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: just give up. That matters right now. It matters because 104 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Putin is potentially a madman. He doesn't want the world's wrath. 105 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: He's willing to withstand the world's wrath, but he most 106 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: definitely is a madman. And if he's not going from 107 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: mass civilian death at this point in time, that means 108 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: at least hopefully we're not going to have cities bombed out, 109 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of civilians dead. Let's hope it stays there. 110 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: We don't know tonight, it's going to be a brand 111 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: new night. Tomorrow morning, we may wake up and everything 112 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: will change. Now, Vladimir Putin, he does not seem to 113 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: be a man who's about to be intimidated by Joe 114 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: Biden's sanctions or the UK's sanctions. Sounds like a man 115 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: who's very, very committed whoever tries to interfere with us, 116 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: and even more so to create threats for our country, 117 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: our people should know that Russia's response will be immediate, 118 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: and belliads you to such consequences that you have never 119 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: experienced in your history, not exactly being subtle about that. 120 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: I think we all know what that means. Everyone thinks 121 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: the same thing, always gotta drop a nuclear bomb. Let 122 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: me clarify a couple things about nuclear weapons. Also, when 123 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: people think about nuclear weapons, they automatically think what he 124 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: rose ruma Nagasaki. You think about a city going up 125 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: in flames. And there are obviously a ton of those 126 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: kinds of nuclear weapons out there, and Russia has a 127 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: ton of them. But you have to also understand something else. 128 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: There's a different kind of nuclear capability today that countries 129 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: like Russia and US in China and the countries work on. 130 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: And that's more of a tactical nuclear weapon. What does 131 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: that mean? What does that mean? Well, Vladimir Putin, he 132 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: may not try to take out an entire city. He 133 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: may not drop a nuke on key. He has nukes 134 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: with the ability to take out a grid square that's 135 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: a thousand meters by a thousand meters, that's a grid square. 136 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: Let's say there's a big unit there. Let's say there's 137 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: a battalion in a grid square. He could drop a 138 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: smaller tactical nuclear weapon and send them all up in flames. 139 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: This is scary stuff and just trying to keep you 140 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: updated on what world wars look like now. Countries have 141 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: these capabilities. In many ways, those are more scary than 142 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: the city killers. Right, he can pick and choose. I'll 143 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: just pick a certain portion of land and just turn 144 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: it to ash like that. He does have the ability 145 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: to do so, he has the weapons to do so. 146 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: It's not outside of the realm of possibility of Ladimir 147 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Putin could use a nuclear weapon in the coming days. Wow, right, now, 148 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: that's a lot. I mean, it seems like about fifteen 149 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: minutes ago we were just dealing with, okay, a couple 150 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: breakaway regions, some sanctions and stuff. Why in the world, 151 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: who does this? I think he is? Why would he 152 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: be so bold? Hasn't Vladimir Putin heard of NATO? Well, 153 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: it's funny you should bring up NATO, because about a 154 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: year ago, this is what NATO was worried about. A 155 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: NATO diversity is our strength. We come from all over 156 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: the world, from every woko. Vladi no two of us 157 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: are saying, embrace our difficis because we all have one 158 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: thing in common. We are NATO man. I don't know 159 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: why Vladimir Putin thought he could take that on. And look, 160 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play you a couple other things here, but 161 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: I want you to understand I'm not taking petty, cheap 162 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: shots at all the woke cultural garbage. I'm taking real 163 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: shots at the woke cultural garbage. We don't play you 164 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: these things. We don't point these things out so we 165 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: could go look at these psychos. You have to understand 166 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: as I continue on and play you different things here 167 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: that Vladimir Putin Jijinping wolves, they sit and they watch 168 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: TV two. The people around them watch TV two. They 169 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: have Twitter accounts too, and Facebook and they do. They 170 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: have entire intelligence agencies dedicated to mining this kind of stuff. 171 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: When these things happen, when you and I are pointing 172 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,119 Speaker 1: out ha ha, look at the freaks and the diversity 173 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: stuff that's so stupid, where we get a couple of 174 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: stickers out of it, Vladimir Putin Jijunping, they're not snickering, 175 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: they're smirking. They're thinking, look at the psycho pass that 176 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: stand against US. Now, look at these psycho freaks. These 177 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: people aren't ready. I mean, why would Vladimir Putin take 178 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: such a bold step, full blown invasion. What. Let's set 179 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: aside the European response for a minute, because none of 180 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: the European militaries are capable of anything anymore. They're they're 181 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: all weak. What do you haves to worry about? As America, 182 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: we're the only one with enough juice to actually physically 183 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: stop him. They're always assessing America, and I want to 184 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: make sure I re emphasized this again. They're always assessing America. 185 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: They watch CNN, they watch the First, they watch Fox News. 186 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: They're on Twitter, they're on Facebook, they are they're watching 187 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: when the White House invites some freak to the to 188 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: go campaign for stupid things Vladimir Putin. While you watch this, 189 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: I want you to understand, while you're cringing and snickering, 190 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin was watching with you one second. Democracy's calling 191 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: Sea Daddy by Hi. My name is Cooper, and this 192 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: is a day in my life as a White House impnent. 193 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: We did a joke.

This is actually the entrance to the West Wing. 199 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: This is so fun and it's really prestigious game. Potus, 200 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: he's Olivia Rodrigo still here. No, We've come a long 201 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: way in our fight against this virus. We've vaccinated one 202 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty million Americans. Are you getting this all down? 203 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Don't worry, Queen our heir Poper, Sorry, miss Jen and 204 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: Jen don't reet to fun spirit fingers, Mama. We need 205 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: to get shots in the arms of every single America. 206 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 1: I'm heading to a haircut if you want me to 207 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: make more of a beast. What do you think Putin 208 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: was thinking when you watched that? Do you think Putin 209 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: was thinking, man, America is run by some strong people 210 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: and we don't we don't need to be stepping out 211 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: a line. Or do you think Putin was watching that 212 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: and licking his chops our recruitment ads, our army recruitment ads. 213 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: What do you think Vladimir Putin thinks when he watches 214 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: that's like this. This is the story of a soldier 215 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: who operates your nation's patriot missile defense systems. It begins 216 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: in California with a little girl raised by two moms. 217 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: I also marched for equality. I like to think I've 218 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: been defending freedom from an early age. Sure, I'd spent 219 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: my life around inspiring women, but what had I really 220 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: achieved on my own? One of my sorority sisters was 221 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: studying abroad in Italy, another was climbing Mount Everest. I 222 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: needed my own adventures, my own challenge, and after meeting 223 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: with an army recruiter, I found it a way to 224 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: prove my inner strength and maybe shatters some stereotypes along 225 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: the way. What do you think Vladimir Putin was thinking? 226 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: What is thinking right now? What do you think I mean? 227 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: Just for comparison, maybe you don't remember what all American 228 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: military recruiting ads used to look like. So maybe maybe 229 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: this little this little snippet from a Russian recruiting ad 230 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: will let you know what military ads should look like. 231 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: It's didn't whistle which which one of those countries seems 232 00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: interested in winning wars? Look, you may remember back in 233 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty one. You may remember when I 234 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: sat right here in this same chair and I told 235 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: you this. I'm not just gonna gloss over this. I'm 236 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: not just going to forget about it. I love history, 237 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: as you know. I talk to you about history a 238 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: lot on the show. And if you study it and 239 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: you find the nations that lose focus, you know, it's 240 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: almost always the wealthy, powerful ones, right, the poor ones, no, 241 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: they've got a scrap, But it's almost always the wealthy, 242 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: powerful ones. Too many grapes, too many cakes, too much 243 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: free time on their hands, too many distractions. And there's 244 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: always this young, hungry one out there who doesn't have 245 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: these distractions, and he looks at all those cakes and 246 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: grapes and he wants them, and he starts to look 247 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: around and say to himself, they're getting awfully soft. I 248 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: bet I could go take that from them. That happens 249 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: all the time. And what it looks like when they 250 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: go to take that from them, it looks like death 251 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: on a massive scale. That's what it looks like. This 252 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: is not a small thing. This is a big thing. 253 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: We don't need an army full of lesbians, We need 254 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: an army full of killers. That's what we need. That's 255 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: what you want your United States military to do. And 256 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: that's what our opponents are doing. Remember that story that 257 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: came out about China. They're they're figuring out how to 258 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: make their men more masculine. We're figuring out how to 259 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: cut ours off. Literally, this stuff ends nations. I cannot 260 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: emphasize this enough. This stuff ends nations. And this will 261 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: be the end of the United States of America if 262 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: we don't stop these people. It's a really, really, really 263 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: big deal, a very big deal. What do you want 264 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: me to say? We only can do what we can do, right, 265 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: all right, say a prayer for the people Ukraine, especially 266 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: the innocent civilians there. There are women, there are kids there, 267 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: to say a prayer for him. All right. All that 268 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: may have made you uncomfortable, but I'm right now. We 269 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: have expert after expert after expert coming tonight try to 270 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: help us. Look, I'm gonna try to make sense of 271 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: it all the same way you are. So let's talk 272 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: to Jason beards LEYNET to get us a little bit smarter. Now, 273 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: let's talk about something else. I say all the time, 274 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: get your kids out of government schools. And I warn 275 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: people all the time. Hey, why are you sending to 276 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: a university? Are you one hundred percent sure your child 277 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: has to go to a university to which people respond understandably, 278 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: But what else can they do? What are we gonna do? 279 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: Have you heard about practice? Listen? Practis might be one 280 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: of the coolest concepts I've ever heard. This is the future. 281 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: Your child, that eighteen year old you've spent all those 282 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: years raising. You don't have to send him off to 283 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: a communist training camp. He can instead go into a 284 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: twelve twelve month program. He spends a while figuring out 285 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: with field is which, and eventually he picks a field. 286 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: He then dives in gets a paid internship with a 287 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: growing company. So after twelve months, your child likely has 288 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: no debt because the net cost is zero. Remember, paid 289 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: internship likely has no debt. He's not a brain dead communist. 290 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: He has real world experience years ahead of his college 291 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: going buddies. Check it out. Please go to practice or 292 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: discover practice dot com slash jesse. That's discover practice dot 293 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: com slash jesse. We'll be back and are you? Are you? 294 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: If I could follow up? Sir? Are you urging China 295 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: to help isolate Russia? Are you urging China to help 296 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: isolate Russia? I'm not prepared to come in and at 297 00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: the moment joining me now, my friend Jason Beardsley, he's 298 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: the national executive director for the Association of US Navy, 299 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: former Master Sergeant in Green Beret, two bronze stars. That 300 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: is not too shabby, Jason. He's not prepared to comment 301 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: on that. Would you please unpack that for me, brother, 302 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: because I don't understand how I'm supposed to take that. Well, yeah, 303 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: well take take it in stride, because this is the 304 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: Biden White House, and what we see all along is, 305 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, we get the sense that after hearing him 306 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: talk in Jen Saki and Kirby, these this administration feels 307 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: much more like observers or bystanders rather than actors or 308 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: agents in these process. So we heard him say the 309 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: same thing about India. We've got all the allies together 310 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: and we're synked. You heard another savvy reporter say, are 311 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: you guys together with India? And again he defers into 312 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: flex and says we're working on it. The bottom line 313 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: here is Joe, when it comes to President Biden, is 314 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: a lot more talk than what we see for action. Okay, 315 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. He made a not so veiled threat about 316 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons yesterday, and I brought up briefly in the 317 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: opening of the show. There's such thing as tactical nuclear weapons, 318 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: which changes everything. But people will hear nukes and they 319 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: automatically freak out understandably. Do you think Vladimir Putin would 320 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: actually use one within the borders of Ukraine? Though, What 321 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: we can do is look at Vladimir Putin's actions so far. 322 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: He's been pretty good on his word for unfolding this invasion, 323 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: for rolling Crimea back in Georgia. He's had some losses, 324 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: but his overall plan is to put this state back 325 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: in the sphere of Russia. And I'm not sure that 326 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: he's taken anything off the table, so I think we 327 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: have to be very careful. He may not end up 328 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: using that because in the end of the day, he 329 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 1: wants to control Ukraine. It doesn't help him to have 330 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: the people embedded in a long term fight that's guerrilla 331 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: warfare in direction right inside his province. Now what will 332 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: end up being his province. So I don't think he 333 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: wants that, so I think he'd be wise not to. 334 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: But I don't think we take anything off the table 335 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: at this stage. Jason, Now you've forgotten more about warfare 336 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: than I'll ever know. But this is what I understand 337 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: just from people who do know. Vladimir Putin. You mentioned 338 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: some losses, got his teeth kicked in a couple of times. 339 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: He was relying too much on unconventional warfare and decided 340 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: he needed to bolster his regular troops. How have they 341 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: retrofitted the Russian army? It may help this make sense 342 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: to people that don't understand what I'm talking about. Sure, 343 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: what we saw earlier again Georgia Crimea is irregular warfare 344 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: and asymmetric warfare and folks that are Russian military but 345 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: disguised in civilian clothing and putting pressure on economically in 346 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: cyber war. What you see today or what we've seen 347 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours are tanks. We've seen 348 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: large convoys, the conventional military forces that are very difficult 349 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: for a country like Ukraine to kind of fight toe 350 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: to toe. And that's when you say retrofitting kind of 351 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: the Russian army. He's standing up what looks like conventional 352 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: military stuff, and of course the only approach the Ukrainians 353 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: are going to have at their disposal at this point 354 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: is unconventional. They will have to resort to irregular warfare tactics. 355 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: And we missed a big strategic point here when we 356 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: didn't push arms to the Ukrainians before this invasion by arms, 357 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: I mean shoulder launched anti tank missiles, shoulder launched anti 358 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: helicopter javelins and toes and things like this, because that 359 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: could have taken Putin a lot more time to kind 360 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: of complicate or calculate to move around. We did not 361 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: do that, and so now it's a little difficult for 362 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: us to kind of go backwards in arm the Ukrainians. 363 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: A big miss Jason, I understand. Obviously Ukraine's regular military 364 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: is not going to be able to withstand the Russians. 365 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we're twenty four forty eight hours away from 366 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: this whole thing being over with, But unconventionally, what are 367 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: their capabilities? You mentioned guerilla fighting? Is there a chance 368 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: that may be something that takes hold and goes on 369 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, absolutely, And that I think is 370 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: what Putin's long term calculation must be applied against. He 371 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: knows that if he goes in too hard destroys too much, 372 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: he's going to put the Ukrainian people at a fighting 373 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: disposition for a long time. That's bloody him. What he 374 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: saw in Afghanistan, what we saw in Afghanistan is that 375 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: insurgencies can be effective for empires over a long time. 376 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: He knows this, which is why what I think we're 377 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: going to see is he's going to apply some warfare 378 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: right now conventionally so that he can back the West off, 379 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: negotiate out of sanctions, and give himself the province that 380 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: he wanted in the East, and appear to be seating 381 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: some of his ground while also taking the long term 382 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: game that they always wanted. Jason, can you help me 383 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: understand or maybe you just actually answered this, but I 384 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: was curious. I brought it up initially in the open 385 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: of the show. We see right now, all the videos online. 386 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: We don't know what to believe or not to believe. 387 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: A lot of misinformation out there, but we do know jets, artillery, explosions, 388 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: buildings that we're seeing a lot of stuff that looks 389 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: like warfare, and yet we're not seeing high death counts. Again, 390 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm not dismissing any loss of life, but we're hearing 391 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: forty fifty sixty one hundred. That's not a lot, and 392 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: we're talking about artillery shells. Why aren't more people dying? Yeah, 393 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: you nailed it, great question, and it's good insight to 394 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: understand again what is Putin thinking. He wants to minimize 395 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: the level of civilian casualties because the long term gain 396 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: for him is that he's in control of the Ukrainian 397 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: province with an installed government that works on behalf of Putin. 398 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: He's done this in Kazakhstan, Crimea, Georgia, so Belarus, and 399 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: you see it all over. At the end of this 400 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: he wants them as part of the empire, so it 401 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: hurts him more to go all full scale blood and 402 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: as you point out, a full scale invasion doesn't have 403 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: a body count in the dozens. We start looking into 404 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: tens of thousands, and we're not seeing that yet. That's 405 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: a good indication of where he wants to go. Jason Beardsley, 406 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: thank you so much, my brother. I appreciate you. Yeah 407 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: you bet, Jesse, have a great day in spite of 408 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: what we're watching. Yeah, I made you too, buddy. All right. 409 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: That was the military side of it. There's an economic 410 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: side of it for us. What are we going to 411 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: be facing here. We all going to be in the 412 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: poor house. We have Joel Griffith.

Defending freedom will have cost for us as well, 433 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: and here at home, we need to be honest about that. 434 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: When America stands for her principles and all of the 435 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: things that we hold dear, it requires sometimes for us 436 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: to ourselves out there in a way that maybe we 437 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: will incurse some costs. You mean, specifically Americans should expect 438 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: higher gas, Yeah, energy prices exactly. That's what we want 439 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: the American public to be aware. It is a possibility. 440 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: All right, Look, now we know why prices are so high. 441 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: It's obviously all Vladimir Putin's fault. Joining me now, Joel Griffith, 442 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: economic expert with the Heritage Foundation, Joel, I was trying 443 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: to figure out why I had to pay so much 444 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: money to fill up my pickup last week. Turns out 445 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: it was Putin. Yeah, it's amazing. Well, two things are 446 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: happening with this invasion. We see the pandemic seems to 447 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: be at last ending across the country. Even New York 448 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: City now is talking about lifting mass restrictions. And now 449 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: we know what the causes of our economic slowdown, of 450 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: the millions of people that aren't working and the skyrocketing 451 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: gas costs. Of course, we know, these problems have been 452 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: building long before Russia invaded its neighbor and a dastardly act. 453 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: But now we see the administration trying to put the 454 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: blame for our slowing, for the fact that families are underwater, 455 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: for the fact that it costs you one hundred and 456 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: fifty bucks in places in California to flow up your car. 457 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: Now they're gonna blame it on what's happening across the 458 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: ocean in Russia and Ukraine as dishonest Joel. Not only 459 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: is it dishonest, I don't think it'll be effective, but 460 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: does that mean just being sunny Jesse. There's no way 461 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: people were going to buy into this right because already 462 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: this economy, I mean, Vladimir putin Ukraine, all that stuff aside. 463 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: It's not just that the economy inflation was up, prices 464 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: we're up, it's that it was heading in a bad direction. 465 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: Already we were already facing a pretty rough twenty twenty two. 466 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: You don't think the American people are actually gonna buy 467 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: that this is all Putin's fault, do you. Well, there's 468 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: always going to be some people that to go buy 469 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: the official party line. But I actually do think that 470 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: people are waking up. Even I just look at conversations 471 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: with individuals. People are starting to connect the dots between 472 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: these promises that politicians make, between this magic money that 473 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: just shows up in checking accounts. People are starting to 474 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: unders stand that we printed a lot of money, trillions 475 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: of dollars, and people are starting to recognize that they're 476 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: soaring house costs, that the stock market bubble that we 477 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: had until recently. They're starting to connect the dots and 478 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: realizing this is government that has caused a problem. When 479 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: you go to the store, you see those bare shelves. 480 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: Guess what. That's not what's happening overseas in Europe that's 481 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: caused that. It's the fact that we had politicians here 482 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: and abroad that decided to shut down our economy in 483 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: such an immoral and irresponsible manner. All right, so we 484 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: already know where the economy was going. You certainly know. 485 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: Now we do have to acknowledge Russia Ukraine energy prices. 486 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: What do you think I'm not smart enough to unpack 487 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: all this? What do you think this does mean for us? 488 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: Am I going to be paying twenty dollars a gallon 489 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: to fill up? Might? Try? Where do we go what 490 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: does this mean? You know, prognostications the dangerous game. If 491 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: you look at the prices today, we actually saw oil 492 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: come down about eight percent off of its one hundred 493 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: dollars per borough peak earlier today. But there is no 494 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: doubt we do have a world, particularly Europe, that has 495 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: become dependent on Russian oil and Russian gas. And for 496 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: some reason, despite the fact that we knew the threat 497 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: was growing from Russia, Putin has been clear about his 498 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: ultimate intentions. Despite that, we saw Germany rushing fool steam 499 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: ahead to build a natural gas pipeline from Russia to 500 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: Germany that would ensure dependence on Russian oil. And then 501 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: we saw our own president, President Biden, on day one 502 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: of his presidency, kill the Keystone Excel pipeline that would 503 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: have ensured US abundant, affordable fuel from our ally Canada. 504 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: So it's bizarre politicians have gotten us into the situation 505 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: where now they actually have to take the dependency on 506 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: Russian oil and consideration as a big reason why today 507 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: when President Biden announced sanctions on Russia, well, guess what 508 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: isn't included in those sanctions. We're not sanctioning Russian oil 509 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: and gas. They assured Russia. We're gonna be keep the 510 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: spigot on if we can, all right, Joel, explain this 511 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: to me. The housing market, A lot of people don't 512 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: pay attention to it until they have to pay attention 513 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: to it. Right, If you're living in a house, no 514 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: intention to move that an apartment, it doesn't it doesn't 515 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: occur to you. But the housing market is always a 516 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: big part of an economy. What's going on with horrors 517 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: right now? Well, we have a housing market now that 518 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: is more inflated than it was more than twelve years 519 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: ago before the bubble burst. If you look at any 520 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: number of metrics, the price of a house relative to 521 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: a person's income, the price of a mortgage payment, even 522 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 1: with low interest rates relative to a typical income, we 523 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: are near all time highs on these metrics, and it 524 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: is squeezing families. If you want to get into just 525 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: a typical home and a median income, you're going to 526 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: see about thirty eight percent of your paycheck going to 527 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: pay the interest payments. And that's with low interest rates. 528 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: What we've seen over the last thirty years is you've 529 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: seen the government get more and more involved in this sector. 530 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: With down payment assistance with subsidized mortgages, with guaranteed mortgages, 531 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: and then we put this on steroids. During this during 532 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: this pandemic, we saw our Central Bank purchase trillions of 533 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: dollars worth of mortgages. Well, what happens when you print 534 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: money to purchase mortgages, Well, you end up with a 535 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: lot more money available to lend out. And that's why 536 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: you have seen home prices jump twenty seven percent over 537 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: the last two years. Joel, thank you so much, by man, 538 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: come back soon, all right, thanks Jesse.

But it doesn't even just have to be 544 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: in a house out and about doesn't matter it. Look, 545 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: I have managed to damage my ears by shooting unsuppressed 546 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: weapons in close proximity to others and obviously myself, far 547 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: too many times.

And Michael, apparently I 565 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: have a bone to pick with you because the wife 566 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 1: saw that last night and she loves these freaking scary, 567 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: suspenseful movies and now I'm going to be dragged to 568 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: the movies to watch that instead of something that, instead 569 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,959 Speaker 1: of being able to stay home and read a book. 570 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: So thanks, a lot. Brother, I know it's brutal. I 571 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: was just assuming. Listen, I was assuming whenever conservatives go 572 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: out and we say we're gonna make movies, we're gonna 573 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: get involved in the culture. A lot of times I'll 574 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: be frank, it's just schlock, okay, and it's fine. We 575 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 1: like it. It's our schlocks. But what we really set 576 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: out to do here is make a real movie. I'm 577 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: just rilled with the this movie came out. Shut in it. 578 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: It was seen by half million people of the night 579 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: it premiered for free, than we immediately stopped allowing it 580 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,280 Speaker 1: to be free. We put it over at the dailywire 581 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: dot com. We're so appreciative to all of our members, 582 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: and we've got we've got a lot more movies coming. Well, 583 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,720 Speaker 1: uh well, I'm gonna have to watch it now. And Michael, 584 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: I do have to ask because you brought up a 585 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: lot of our stuff's been crap. I mean, we just 586 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: have not been good at entertainment. It just it just 587 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: it's not good and you can tell it's low budget crap. 588 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: And now Daily Wire, I mean everyone knows Daily Wire, 589 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: but that looks like that looks like something you would 590 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: be seeing in any other Hollywood blockbuster. Why were you 591 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: able to make something that looks so good and others 592 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: have not? As this is simply a budget things smarter people. 593 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: Because I want us to be better at entertainment. I 594 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: think it's really important for our culture. I've been asking 595 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: myself this question a lot. I think the reason is 596 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: that Jeremy Boring and Ben Shapiro are completely insane. And 597 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: they have built this company, the Daily Wire, and it 598 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: has these political shows, and it puts out a lot 599 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: of news and commentary, and it's been very successful at 600 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: doing all of that. And just as everything's stable, I say, 601 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: oh good, we've got a stable paycheck. Honey, don't worry. 602 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: Everything's going to be fine from now on, they decide 603 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: to gamble the company on a play not just to 604 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: comment on culture, but to actually create culture and to 605 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: put a lot of resources behind movies like this. You know, 606 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 1: we could make shut In relative to a Hollywood budget. 607 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 1: We did it for a relatively small amount of money. 608 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,959 Speaker 1: We're still talking millions and millions of dollars here, okay, 609 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: And this is a play that we think the left 610 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: has given us a big opportunity here. We think that 611 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: with the left telling half of the country that their 612 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: Nazis and biggots and they hate us, and they're not 613 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: going to make any movies for us. And not a 614 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: single person in America has seen any of the Oscar 615 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: nominated movies. Now, this is a real market opportunity for 616 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: conservatives to make not just a dantic schlock, but actually gritty, engaging, 617 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: real narrative content for people. And so we're so glad 618 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: to the members who have fun to this and allowed 619 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: us to make this play. And we want even bigger 620 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 1: and better movies into the future. Absolutely, I encourage people 621 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: to go to Daily Wire and watch it and support it. 622 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: And honestly, a big part of it is this, Michael. 623 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: It's not just because obviously I'm a fan of yours. 624 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: It's I feel like movies are undersold for their importance. 625 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: A common theme on the right for so long has 626 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: been He's just an actor. No one cares what he says. Yeah, 627 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: go look at his following on social media. Yeah, people 628 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: do care. Actually, people care what that idiot actress says. 629 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: People care what the scumbag communist actor says. Entertainment has value. 630 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: Every culture has entertainment, whether it's a tiny tribe or 631 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: a big nation. It's part of how you know what 632 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: the carrots and sticks are, and we've just let it go. 633 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: Why do we let it go for so long? We 634 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: let it go because we're not able to walk and 635 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: chew gum at the same time. And the left really 636 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: is so Sometimes you'll hear people say politics is downstream 637 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: of culture, and he say, okay, we're only going to 638 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: focus on the culture and not focus on electoral politics. 639 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: Some people say, no, what actually matters is winning elections 640 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: and passing laws and engaging in the real political fight, 641 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: and then they ignore all the cultural stuff. We'll look 642 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: at what the left did. The left over the last 643 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: fifty or sixty years took over every institution, all of 644 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: the political institutions, elective and administrative, bureaucratic. They took over 645 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: the universities. They took over Hollywood. Hollywood wasn't always superliberal. 646 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 1: It has become superliberal within the last sixty years. Took 647 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: over big tech, took over corporation, that took over everything. 648 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: They could do it all at the same time. And 649 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: I think we need to do that as well. We 650 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: are human beings, we are storytelling creatures. We view ourselves 651 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: from a narrative perspective, every man is the star of 652 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: his own story. And so if we don't grab ahold 653 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,439 Speaker 1: of the stories, if we don't, if we don't tell 654 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: each other's stories that are edifying, that are going to 655 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: build us up, build up our souls, build up our communities, 656 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: and build up our country, then we're going to lose 657 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: that entire culture. And we have for half a century, 658 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 1: and it's long past time we try to grab around 659 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: it again. I am certainly the star of my own story. 660 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: I tell myself that every single all right shifting gears here, 661 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, We've are hopefully not on the cusp of 662 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: something that affects each and every one of us with 663 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: all this Russia Ukraine war nonsense. But I can't help 664 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 1: but think back to what our priorities have been here 665 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: at home. Here's a little video. Right. First, thing that 666 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,760 Speaker 1: President Obama and I were summoned to the State Department, 667 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: assume mean the Defense Department, for was to meet with 668 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: all the chiefs. The single greatest threat to our national security, 669 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: they said, is climate change. Single greatest threat to our 670 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: national security. Okay, obviously that's insane. You know that's insane. 671 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: I know that's insane. We've focused on insane things for 672 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: so long. Michael, My question is can we get sane again? 673 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: Or are we? I mean, sometimes I don't like to 674 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: be a DEBI downers. Sometimes it feels hopeless when so 675 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: many people seem so lost. Well, I really can't believe 676 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 1: your skepticism, Jesse. Are you telling me that it's you 677 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: rage didn't just invade Kiev? And are you telling me 678 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: climate change isn't aggressing on taiwan An American interests in 679 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: the South China. See, I'm shocked. Oh, you're telling me 680 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: it's real people, actual enemies of the United States, who 681 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 1: are real political actors making decisions. You know something, Jesse 682 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: that I really really love about your commentary in your 683 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: show is that you're very blunt. You take complex things 684 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: and make them really simple. In the spirit of that, 685 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: I will do that here. This is Joe Biden's full Okay, 686 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 1: he did this. He made discreet decisions with regard to 687 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: Russia's sanctions, with regard to the Nordstream to pipeline, with 688 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,240 Speaker 1: regard to his literal invitation to Joe Biden to invade 689 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: eastern Ukraine that led to this moment right now. And 690 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: while that's extremely depressing, and we can't go back and 691 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: fix the past. I think it does offer some hope 692 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: to the future, which is that if we made different decisions, 693 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: if we make different decisions moving into the future, we 694 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: absolutely can stop aggression from America's enemies. Look at Donald Trump. 695 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump as the distinction now of being the only 696 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: president out of the last four presidents on whose watch 697 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: Flat Putin did not invade a sovereign country. Why is that. 698 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,760 Speaker 1: It's not some magical, enigmatic raisey answer. It's because Donald 699 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: Trump was strong. He said don't do it, He sanctioned Putin, 700 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: he kept a lot of leverage for himself and for 701 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians, and Putting backed off. Well, it could happen again. 702 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: We just need strong leadership. A man, Michael Knowles, the 703 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: movie is shut In.

I can't help it. That really 714 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: came to fruition in the Marine Corps when we would 715 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: be some kind of awful situation and someone would make 716 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: a joke, oftentimes a very inappropriate joke, and we would laugh. 717 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, but I haven't lost it. 718 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: So every now and then, dark humor is going to 719 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: be creeping into the show. That's just a heads up. 720 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,879 Speaker 1: Speaking of dark, we have a special coming. It's coming tomorrow. Wait, 721 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: it's tomorrow Friday. I'm kidding. Yeah, it's coming tomorrow.

Now, 724 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: what is that special? Why would I say dark? It's 725 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: about the Clintons. Hard to get darker than that first 726 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: TV dot com slash support. We'll be back. I made 727 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: a relatively obvious statement I thought yesterday on social media. 728 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: Many of you follow me on social media on Twitter 729 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 1: or Instagram, and what I said was simply this Applebee's 730 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: is underrated. I didn't say it was the greatest restaurant 731 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: of all time. I simply said it was underrated.

I caught the same kind of heat 737 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: as when I make fun of feminists. It was unbelievable 738 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: how mad people got at me.
