4
00:00:21,177 --> 00:00:26,137
Speaker 1: Freedom Hot Tuesday, August, second edition of the program we have.

5
00:00:26,497 --> 00:00:30,777
Speaker 1: I'm in Alswaher dead, killed in a drone strike by

6
00:00:31,257 --> 00:00:38,177
Speaker 1: US military in Cobble. He was sliced by the Switchblade

7
00:00:38,337 --> 00:00:41,057
Speaker 1: missile or the Ninja missile as people are calling it.

8
00:00:41,497 --> 00:00:45,497
Speaker 1: So al Qaida's long time well formerly number two, and

9
00:00:45,577 --> 00:00:51,657
Speaker 1: then the de facto spiritual leader of al Qaida is gone.

10
00:00:52,057 --> 00:00:56,577
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that. Plus Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan this morning.

11
00:00:57,297 --> 00:00:59,937
Speaker 1: What should we make of this? What should our expectations be?

12
00:01:00,097 --> 00:01:06,737
Speaker 1: And Mansion trying to convince everybody that his inflation reduction bill,

13
00:01:06,897 --> 00:01:10,297
Speaker 1: or his role in the inflation reduction bill some how

14
00:01:10,417 --> 00:01:12,257
Speaker 1: makes sense. I think that's going to be a much

15
00:01:12,377 --> 00:01:17,737
Speaker 1: tougher sell for him, but we will dive into that first. Though.

16
00:01:17,817 --> 00:01:19,897
Speaker 1: Is there another organization like the Tunnel of the Towers

17
00:01:19,937 --> 00:01:23,057
Speaker 1: Foundation that is as dedicated to supporting America's heroes and

18
00:01:23,137 --> 00:01:25,937
Speaker 1: their families ever since the tragic events of September eleventh?

19
00:01:25,937 --> 00:01:28,937
Speaker 1: Because I can't think of one. When a first responder

20
00:01:29,497 --> 00:01:32,377
Speaker 1: or military service member doesn't come home and young children

21
00:01:32,377 --> 00:01:35,377
Speaker 1: are left behind, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage

22
00:01:35,417 --> 00:01:38,177
Speaker 1: to lift the financial burden and bring their family stability.

23
00:01:38,857 --> 00:01:42,617
Speaker 1: For severely injured veterans and first responders, Tunnelta Towers builds

24
00:01:42,617 --> 00:01:45,777
Speaker 1: mortgage free smart homes, enabling our most severely injured heroes

25
00:01:45,817 --> 00:01:49,537
Speaker 1: to live more independent lives. And now, through Operation home Base,

26
00:01:49,657 --> 00:01:53,577
Speaker 1: Tanta Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans. Our

27
00:01:53,657 --> 00:01:55,937
Speaker 1: nation's heroes, people who put their lives in the line

28
00:01:55,937 --> 00:01:59,177
Speaker 1: for our country in our communities, need your help. Help

29
00:01:59,217 --> 00:02:02,377

00:02:18,097 --> 00:02:21,537
Speaker 1: You can sort of just eleven dollars a month. All right,

35
00:02:21,577 --> 00:02:26,177
Speaker 1: So Zawahi is dead. He was killed in a drum

36
00:02:26,217 --> 00:02:31,617
Speaker 1: strike over the weekend. Joe Biden spoke about this, so

37
00:02:31,697 --> 00:02:35,777
Speaker 1: it was official from the White House as of last night.

38
00:02:36,377 --> 00:02:39,937
Speaker 1: Here is what Biden had to say about this, about

39
00:02:39,937 --> 00:02:42,857
Speaker 1: this strike, I mean, he was telling us what I

40
00:02:42,857 --> 00:02:49,177
Speaker 1: think was already pretty broadly reported, broadly reported on Parntell's

41
00:02:49,177 --> 00:02:52,857
Speaker 1: community located zawe here. Earlier this year, he had moved

42
00:02:52,857 --> 00:02:56,577
Speaker 1: to downtown Couple to reunite with members of his immediate family.

43
00:02:57,457 --> 00:03:01,977
Speaker 1: After carefully considering a clear and convincing evidence of his location,

44
00:03:02,817 --> 00:03:05,657
Speaker 1: I authorized a precision strike that would remove him from

45
00:03:05,657 --> 00:03:09,777
Speaker 1: the battlefield once and for all. This mission was carefully

46
00:03:09,777 --> 00:03:14,497
Speaker 1: play and rigorously minimize the risk of harmed other civilians,

47
00:03:15,377 --> 00:03:18,657
Speaker 1: and one week ago, after being advised that the conditions

48
00:03:18,657 --> 00:03:21,937
Speaker 1: were optimal, I gave the final approval to go get him,

49
00:03:22,417 --> 00:03:25,617
Speaker 1: and the mission was a success. None of his family

50
00:03:25,657 --> 00:03:30,177
Speaker 1: members were hurt and there were no civilian casualists. So

51
00:03:30,217 --> 00:03:35,017
Speaker 1: this is justice delivered. Although it took twenty plus years

52
00:03:35,097 --> 00:03:40,617
Speaker 1: to get to this point, Zawahi did a lot of damage,

53
00:03:41,577 --> 00:03:44,817
Speaker 1: not just the horrific events of nine to eleven, which

54
00:03:44,817 --> 00:03:47,377
Speaker 1: he was a key plotter in, but also the USS

55
00:03:47,417 --> 00:03:51,817
Speaker 1: coal bombing in Yemen and many many terrorist plots and

56
00:03:51,937 --> 00:03:56,897
Speaker 1: acts thereafter. So Zoahi was somebody with a twenty five

57
00:03:56,937 --> 00:03:59,537
Speaker 1: million dollar bounty on his head for good reason. I

58
00:03:59,577 --> 00:04:03,657
Speaker 1: see the FBI as of today updated his most wanted

59
00:04:03,697 --> 00:04:08,377
Speaker 1: poster to deceased. And there is a satisfaction, a satisfaction

60
00:04:08,617 --> 00:04:11,097
Speaker 1: that only justice can bring. Right now, a lot of

61
00:04:11,137 --> 00:04:15,097
Speaker 1: people feel and justice does mean that he is He

62
00:04:15,177 --> 00:04:19,417
Speaker 1: was a military target and he was taken off the battlefield.

63
00:04:20,017 --> 00:04:22,657
Speaker 1: So it is a good thing. Now, let's talk about

64
00:04:22,697 --> 00:04:26,857
Speaker 1: the second order effects of this. What the heck is

65
00:04:26,937 --> 00:04:31,057
Speaker 1: going on in Kabul Afghanistan. Well, I think we know

66
00:04:32,177 --> 00:04:37,617
Speaker 1: you have the Hakani network, who are designated terrorists, who

67
00:04:37,657 --> 00:04:42,297
Speaker 1: are allies of al Qaida and for all intents and

68
00:04:42,297 --> 00:04:45,537
Speaker 1: purposes in many ways, a part of al Qaida, an

69
00:04:45,537 --> 00:04:50,217
Speaker 1: extension of al Qaida in many regards with what their

70
00:04:50,257 --> 00:04:53,937
Speaker 1: goals are, how they operate, who their enemies are. They

71
00:04:54,017 --> 00:05:01,137
Speaker 1: run Afghanistan and Siah Jadin Siah Jadin Hakani is in

72
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:06,257
Speaker 1: charge of Afghanistan. I mean, these are really bad people

73
00:05:07,137 --> 00:05:10,737
Speaker 1: and they're terrorists and they run the country. So why

74
00:05:10,777 --> 00:05:20,057
Speaker 1: would Zawahiri move to Kabble and live in a relatively speaking,

75
00:05:20,257 --> 00:05:22,857
Speaker 1: wealthy part of Kabbal. I mean, I've spent some time

76
00:05:22,857 --> 00:05:26,097
Speaker 1: in that city myself. He was not far from the

77
00:05:26,217 --> 00:05:28,897
Speaker 1: US embassy compound when he was hit by this drone

78
00:05:28,977 --> 00:05:33,537
Speaker 1: or what was the US embassy compound? So what exactly

79
00:05:34,257 --> 00:05:39,137
Speaker 1: does this tell us? That the Taliban runs Afghanistan? And

80
00:05:39,257 --> 00:05:42,137
Speaker 1: the Taliban is willing to host not just al Qaeda elements,

81
00:05:42,177 --> 00:05:47,497
Speaker 1: but even the senior, most infamous figures of al Qaeda,

82
00:05:47,777 --> 00:05:51,257
Speaker 1: no problem with it. They knew he was there, they

83
00:05:51,257 --> 00:05:55,577
Speaker 1: are friends of his, They are running that country, and

84
00:05:55,697 --> 00:05:58,657
Speaker 1: they have tens of billions of dollars of military hardware

85
00:05:59,457 --> 00:06:03,377
Speaker 1: courtesy of the US taxpayer left behind after the disastrous

86
00:06:03,457 --> 00:06:09,777
Speaker 1: Biden withdrawal program. So, yeah, Zawahiri was killed, that's a

87
00:06:09,777 --> 00:06:14,057
Speaker 1: good thing, But what does it mean about Afghanistan? And

88
00:06:14,217 --> 00:06:15,937
Speaker 1: one thing I can tell you from a time I

89
00:06:16,017 --> 00:06:18,817
Speaker 1: spent in the CIA's counter Terrorism Center and looking at

90
00:06:18,897 --> 00:06:23,017
Speaker 1: these problems for my job all day for years, is

91
00:06:23,057 --> 00:06:28,257
Speaker 1: that taking out leadership feels like its progress, feels like

92
00:06:28,417 --> 00:06:34,537
Speaker 1: it's an accomplishment when you're fighting against these unconventional, unconventional

93
00:06:34,577 --> 00:06:39,777
Speaker 1: military targets effectively, these terrorist entities. And yet the history

94
00:06:39,817 --> 00:06:45,137
Speaker 1: shows us, whether it is the killing of Abu Musab

95
00:06:45,137 --> 00:06:48,137
Speaker 1: al Zarkawi, the head of Aqui, guess what, the insurgency

96
00:06:48,577 --> 00:06:52,777
Speaker 1: got worse in Iraq after Zarkhawi was killed, the killing

97
00:06:52,817 --> 00:06:56,697
Speaker 1: of Osama bin Laden himself. After that isis the Islamic

98
00:06:56,817 --> 00:07:01,857
Speaker 1: State became more powerful than ever, seized territory inside of Iraq,

99
00:07:01,977 --> 00:07:04,337
Speaker 1: took the city of Mosul, created its caliphate. That was

100
00:07:04,377 --> 00:07:08,697
Speaker 1: after bin Laden was killed. So yes, it's a good thing,

101
00:07:09,537 --> 00:07:12,177
Speaker 1: but we should think of it more like a general

102
00:07:12,297 --> 00:07:15,697
Speaker 1: was taken off of the battlefield of the enemy, but

103
00:07:15,897 --> 00:07:19,217
Speaker 1: the rest of the military is still there, the rest

104
00:07:19,257 --> 00:07:22,337
Speaker 1: of their fighters are still there, and so this is

105
00:07:22,417 --> 00:07:26,577
Speaker 1: not the end in any real sense. This is just

106
00:07:27,017 --> 00:07:32,777
Speaker 1: another step in this very long process of trying to

107
00:07:33,537 --> 00:07:38,297
Speaker 1: eventually eradicate al Qaeda, not just as an entity, as

108
00:07:38,337 --> 00:07:42,337
Speaker 1: an organization, but as a belief system. So it is

109
00:07:42,377 --> 00:07:45,897
Speaker 1: a very bad sign for what's going on in Afghanistan

110
00:07:46,097 --> 00:07:52,097
Speaker 1: that Zawahiri was living in a living in a house

111
00:07:52,977 --> 00:07:55,897
Speaker 1: in writing downtown. I mean, this is the in cobble terms,

112
00:07:55,897 --> 00:07:58,737
Speaker 1: this is like living in midtown Manhattan, right in the

113
00:07:58,777 --> 00:08:04,577
Speaker 1: center of things. So there you habit. Now why now,

114
00:08:05,017 --> 00:08:06,737
Speaker 1: that's another question. I'm sure a lot of you're gonna say,

115
00:08:06,737 --> 00:08:08,297
Speaker 1: hey about hold on a second, were supposed to think

116
00:08:08,297 --> 00:08:11,657
Speaker 1: this is a coincidence. Pelosi decides to go to Taiwan.

117
00:08:11,737 --> 00:08:15,297
Speaker 1: She was in Taiwan this morning. Pelosi decides to go

118
00:08:15,337 --> 00:08:18,337
Speaker 1: to Taiwan. Biden decides to pull the trigger with this

119
00:08:18,457 --> 00:08:22,017
Speaker 1: drone strike on Zowie. Here you'll notice, oh, these are

120
00:08:22,057 --> 00:08:27,337
Speaker 1: foreign policy wins that are going to get a lot

121
00:08:27,337 --> 00:08:30,737
Speaker 1: of media focus and attention right now. But they've been

122
00:08:30,777 --> 00:08:33,697
Speaker 1: on the table for well as long as these people

123
00:08:33,697 --> 00:08:35,097
Speaker 1: have been in charge, as long as they've been in

124
00:08:35,137 --> 00:08:39,177
Speaker 1: their in their respective positions. Why is Pelosi going to China.

125
00:08:39,217 --> 00:08:42,297
Speaker 1: I was sorry to Taiwan now, even the risking the

126
00:08:42,337 --> 00:08:45,817
Speaker 1: anger of the Chinese Communist Party, Well, because I think

127
00:08:45,857 --> 00:08:49,137
Speaker 1: she realizes that the Democrat Party needs to have some story,

128
00:08:49,257 --> 00:08:53,137
Speaker 1: some narrative, and they're desperate to cobble it together. Of look,

129
00:08:53,177 --> 00:08:55,737
Speaker 1: we take action on national security. They will say, look

130
00:08:55,737 --> 00:08:57,977
Speaker 1: at the Zowie Heery strike. He was there for months.

131
00:08:58,657 --> 00:09:01,537
Speaker 1: They're going to say that this was the best opportunity

132
00:09:01,577 --> 00:09:04,257
Speaker 1: we had to get him. But is that really true?

133
00:09:05,297 --> 00:09:08,577
Speaker 1: Is that where did they wait? Did they know he

134
00:09:08,617 --> 00:09:10,577
Speaker 1: was there? And he was living effectively out in the

135
00:09:10,617 --> 00:09:13,817
Speaker 1: open in kabbal known to many people that he was there.

136
00:09:14,737 --> 00:09:16,777
Speaker 1: You know, that's not the kind of thing you can hide, right,

137
00:09:17,177 --> 00:09:20,297
Speaker 1: Zalihiri is second only to been Lauden in terms of

138
00:09:20,617 --> 00:09:27,337
Speaker 1: notoriety facial recognition among all of the jihadest terrorists of

139
00:09:27,377 --> 00:09:31,097
Speaker 1: the last twenty some odd years, Zaloihiri second only to

140
00:09:31,177 --> 00:09:35,417
Speaker 1: Bin Laden. So people knew he was there, and he

141
00:09:35,497 --> 00:09:38,937
Speaker 1: was living out in the open in Kabbole. I mean,

142
00:09:39,417 --> 00:09:41,777
Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't making tiktoks of himself, obviously, but

143
00:09:41,817 --> 00:09:45,417
Speaker 1: he was, so they It seems to me like it's

144
00:09:45,417 --> 00:09:48,417
Speaker 1: a very realistic possibility that the Biden administration was holding

145
00:09:48,417 --> 00:09:51,337
Speaker 1: this as not an October surprise, but an August surprise

146
00:09:51,417 --> 00:09:53,377
Speaker 1: to go into the midterms of a sie. We got Zawhirie,

147
00:09:53,417 --> 00:09:56,057
Speaker 1: We understand national security. Don't worry about that huge war

148
00:09:56,137 --> 00:09:58,857
Speaker 1: in Europe that's going on after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

149
00:09:58,897 --> 00:10:05,577
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that really. And then there's also the

150
00:10:05,577 --> 00:10:09,177
Speaker 1: Pelosi visit to Taiwan. Pelosi as a human being, she

151
00:10:09,377 --> 00:10:13,777
Speaker 1: is only concerned with herself. She only cares about herself. Okay,

152
00:10:13,817 --> 00:10:15,697
Speaker 1: this is not a person who is a public servant.

153
00:10:15,697 --> 00:10:19,537
Speaker 1: This is a person who has served herself through the

154
00:10:19,617 --> 00:10:25,137
Speaker 1: pretense of doing public good. She's an a leftist, a

155
00:10:25,217 --> 00:10:30,377
Speaker 1: self dealing sanctimonious leftist who has just done whatever she

156
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:32,537
Speaker 1: can to a crewe power and wealth for herself and

157
00:10:32,537 --> 00:10:36,217
Speaker 1: her husband, including using some really interesting information over a

158
00:10:36,257 --> 00:10:39,217
Speaker 1: long period of time. So does she care about freedom

159
00:10:39,457 --> 00:10:44,457
Speaker 1: in Taiwan? Really? I don't think so. But this is

160
00:10:44,497 --> 00:10:47,657
Speaker 1: a chance for Nancy Pelosi to do something. People are

161
00:10:47,697 --> 00:10:49,777
Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, it's so brave trying to didn't do

162
00:10:49,777 --> 00:10:51,937
Speaker 1: anything in response to this as it was happening, and

163
00:10:51,977 --> 00:10:56,497
Speaker 1: I think is unlikely to do anything meaningful in response

164
00:10:56,537 --> 00:11:00,177
Speaker 1: to it afterwards anyway. Yeah, they'll make noise, they'll they'll

165
00:11:00,697 --> 00:11:03,617
Speaker 1: test Taiwanese airspace or something. You know, they'll do something

166
00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:06,177
Speaker 1: so they can say, see, we're ready and willing to

167
00:11:06,217 --> 00:11:11,057
Speaker 1: assert our authority. But there was some risk here, escalation

168
00:11:11,097 --> 00:11:13,457
Speaker 1: and miscalculation. I suppose we always have to take that

169
00:11:13,457 --> 00:11:16,417
Speaker 1: possibility into account. So why would Pelosi do that? Well,

170
00:11:16,457 --> 00:11:20,337
Speaker 1: because this gives CNN and the Democrat media a narrative,

171
00:11:21,017 --> 00:11:23,137
Speaker 1: a narrative other than Joe Biden is too old, is

172
00:11:23,137 --> 00:11:26,457
Speaker 1: an incompetent, and is making everything worse in this country.

173
00:11:27,097 --> 00:11:29,457
Speaker 1: We took out Zawihrie. It took over twenty years, folks,

174
00:11:30,017 --> 00:11:32,897
Speaker 1: over twenty years to get this guy. So yes, it

175
00:11:33,057 --> 00:11:36,777
Speaker 1: is justice done. But you know, imagine a serial killer,

176
00:11:36,817 --> 00:11:38,897
Speaker 1: which is effectively what zour here is is on the run.

177
00:11:40,017 --> 00:11:42,057
Speaker 1: You know, if it takes twenty years to catch him,

178
00:11:42,097 --> 00:11:44,457
Speaker 1: I don't know if you necessarily say, well, it's great

179
00:11:44,497 --> 00:11:49,417
Speaker 1: police work. Yeah, would have been great police work if

180
00:11:49,457 --> 00:11:54,097
Speaker 1: you caught him in two weeks. Twenty years after multiple

181
00:11:54,617 --> 00:11:58,537
Speaker 1: full scale military invasions in the region and billions and

182
00:11:58,577 --> 00:12:00,897
Speaker 1: billions of dollars spent in the intelligence community and the

183
00:12:00,897 --> 00:12:03,497
Speaker 1: whole drone program everything else, took us twenty one years

184
00:12:03,537 --> 00:12:08,017
Speaker 1: to get this guy. Okay, I mean it's the right thing.

185
00:12:08,417 --> 00:12:10,457
Speaker 1: It's a good thing, But I don't know if it's

186
00:12:10,457 --> 00:12:12,977
Speaker 1: a spike the football in the end zone thing for

187
00:12:13,057 --> 00:12:17,097
Speaker 1: our intelligence community and those who ordered the strike. That's

188
00:12:17,097 --> 00:12:19,817
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. It certainly took a very long time

189
00:12:19,857 --> 00:12:21,337
Speaker 1: to get here, and in terms of what it means

190
00:12:21,337 --> 00:12:25,257
Speaker 1: for Afghanistan, it's nothing good going on there, folks. It's

191
00:12:25,257 --> 00:12:27,737
Speaker 1: going to be a terror sanctuary. It's just it already

192
00:12:27,777 --> 00:12:29,377
Speaker 1: is a terifor sanctuary, but it's going to be an

193
00:12:29,417 --> 00:12:33,177
Speaker 1: increasingly dangerous one. It's just a question of what their

194
00:12:33,257 --> 00:12:36,217
Speaker 1: next moves will be to become a platform for the

195
00:12:36,337 --> 00:12:39,417
Speaker 1: jihad I think and then Pelosi in China. What is

196
00:12:39,417 --> 00:12:41,257
Speaker 1: going to change as result of this? Is US policy

197
00:12:41,297 --> 00:12:44,337
Speaker 1: going to change? Is Chinese policy going to change? Now?

198
00:12:45,057 --> 00:12:47,497
Speaker 1: But this is an obsession with the optics and an

199
00:12:47,497 --> 00:12:52,937
Speaker 1: obsession with the pageantry of diplomacy as more meaningful than

200
00:12:52,977 --> 00:12:57,177
Speaker 1: it really is. Ultimately, the questions that remain are will

201
00:12:57,257 --> 00:13:00,417
Speaker 1: China use force to take Taiwan? Will we use force

202
00:13:00,617 --> 00:13:04,457
Speaker 1: to prevent them from doing so? If China chooses to

203
00:13:04,577 --> 00:13:09,537
Speaker 1: do so, Okay, that's the situation. That is the circumstance

204
00:13:09,577 --> 00:13:14,737
Speaker 1: that faces us. And this Pelosi, this Pelosi touchdown in

205
00:13:14,777 --> 00:13:18,937
Speaker 1: Taiwan doesn't change any of that. So this is what

206
00:13:19,017 --> 00:13:21,897
Speaker 1: we face now. On the Senator Mansion, he had a

207
00:13:21,977 --> 00:13:26,337
Speaker 1: sit down today with Harris Faulkner of Fox News in

208
00:13:26,377 --> 00:13:28,457
Speaker 1: which she was pushing back on and he's trying to

209
00:13:28,497 --> 00:13:31,537
Speaker 1: tell us this bill, this anti inflation bill, which is

210
00:13:31,617 --> 00:13:34,057
Speaker 1: just crazy, is going to do all these great things.

211
00:13:34,137 --> 00:13:37,697
Speaker 1: Here here she is actually asking some really good questions.

212
00:13:37,857 --> 00:13:40,337
Speaker 1: Are you saying that Mitch McConnell and others and the

213
00:13:40,377 --> 00:13:43,457
Speaker 1: Senator wrong about those numbers and that Americans taxes are

214
00:13:43,497 --> 00:13:46,177
Speaker 1: not going to go up? Tody on that point. Totally

215
00:13:46,217 --> 00:13:49,897
Speaker 1: absolutely wrong, totally wrong. And here's the thing. You're looking

216
00:13:49,897 --> 00:13:52,097
Speaker 1: at it through political lenses. Look at it through the

217
00:13:52,097 --> 00:13:56,457
Speaker 1: American I'm asking, I'm just answering questions. Okay, I'm going

218
00:13:56,537 --> 00:13:59,657
Speaker 1: to answer these questions because what you're asking and the

219
00:13:59,697 --> 00:14:03,177
Speaker 1: fact you have are completely wrong. You're just wrong, You're

220
00:14:03,217 --> 00:14:06,577
Speaker 1: just wrong. Oh really, I don't think she's wrong. I

221
00:14:06,577 --> 00:14:09,137
Speaker 1: think Joe Mansion knows that he's caught being a big

222
00:14:09,177 --> 00:14:12,697
Speaker 1: lib pretends. Oh, I'm just Joe Mansion. You can trust me.

223
00:14:12,737 --> 00:14:14,097
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just one of the guys. You know,

224
00:14:14,137 --> 00:14:16,497
Speaker 1: I'm a Democrat, but I'm a West Virginia Democrat in

225
00:14:16,537 --> 00:14:20,537
Speaker 1: the whole thing. No way, guy's a fraud, a fraud

226
00:14:21,537 --> 00:14:25,377
Speaker 1: and caving on this what because it's going to it's

227
00:14:25,417 --> 00:14:29,057
Speaker 1: going to help so much with inflation. This is ridiculous

228
00:14:29,697 --> 00:14:31,337
Speaker 1: and he knows it. But they put a lot of

229
00:14:31,337 --> 00:14:33,657
Speaker 1: pressure on him, they put a lot of heat on him,

230
00:14:34,337 --> 00:14:39,977
Speaker 1: and he finally caved. And anytime, here's just a rule,

231
00:14:40,217 --> 00:14:42,937
Speaker 1: anytime someone is doing something like this and they're telling

232
00:14:42,937 --> 00:14:46,697
Speaker 1: you there's no downside, spending hundreds of billions of dollars,

233
00:14:46,737 --> 00:14:49,737
Speaker 1: taxing hundreds of billions more and they will. They will

234
00:14:49,777 --> 00:14:53,417
Speaker 1: not admit to a trade off. They're lying to you, Okay,

235
00:14:53,417 --> 00:14:55,697
Speaker 1: so just always start with that. If they'll tell you,

236
00:14:55,777 --> 00:14:57,937
Speaker 1: yellok here's the good part, here's the bad part. I

237
00:14:57,977 --> 00:15:00,417
Speaker 1: think it's worth it. At least they're being honest with you.

238
00:15:00,497 --> 00:15:02,777
Speaker 1: Joe Manchin is lying to his constituents and lying to

239
00:15:02,817 --> 00:15:06,617
Speaker 1: the American people, and I appreciate that. You know, Harris

240
00:15:06,617 --> 00:15:10,857
Speaker 1: Faulkner decided to push back on some of that today

241
00:15:10,977 --> 00:15:12,617
Speaker 1: and you could tell he was getting a little he's

242
00:15:12,617 --> 00:15:14,937
Speaker 1: getting a little feist either. He was getting a little angry.

243
00:15:15,417 --> 00:15:17,857
Speaker 1: We'll continue to follow this and more. Team. Make sure
