6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: of the young leaders was talking to me about climate

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: mental health. I said, tell me what's going on with

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: your peers climate mental health? It is an existential threat?

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Or do you you care about climate change? Do you care

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: about the future for you? For your children? Do you

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: want to know how we can solve it through cool technology?

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,560

Speaker 1: for America Right hour two Sean Hannity Show to Frio,

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: number is eight hundred and nine pot one, Sean, if

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Even

19
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: NBC News is acknowledging the obvious that this clearly was

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: the shooting down of our drome was on purpose. We

21
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: have Centator Marco Rubio saying the following let me, well,

22
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: let me just play it for you. Well, there's been

23
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: no additional briefings from what's been made available publicly. But

24
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things they are important here.

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: At The first is this, this was a deliberate effort.

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: This wasn't some accident, it wasn't some harassment effort that

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, went awry. That this was a design. They

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: basically decided we are going to begin to shoot down

29
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: US assets, you know, whatever's flying in what they call

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: restricted airspace. It's over international waters, international airspace, but they

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: declare a restriction over it for whatever reason, they want

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: to conduct military operation, and they're saying anything that flies

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: and they we're going to shoot it down. So this

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: is a direct test of the Biden administration to trying

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: to see what the limits are, and it's a message

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: of their displeasure. A bit more important, I think it's

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: a test to see if we'll respond to it, it

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: will continue to fly, or if this causes us not

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: to fly in that area anymore. I agree with the

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: assessment of Marco Rubio, and just like the spy balloon

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: of the Communist Chinese, Joe Biden did nothing and don't

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: think they're not related. They are related because Vladimir watched

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: the entire incident. You know, the spy balloon flies over

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Alaskan airspace, all over the rest of Alaska, down the

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: coast to Canada, into Idaho, over to Montana, right over

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: our ICBM missile sites are silos down to Kansas, Missouri,

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: up to Kentucky, and then off the coast of Carolina.

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: And then they finally shoot it down after China got

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: all the intel they could ever want, need or desire.

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: And then as a result of the public reaction to

51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: their inaction, they shoot down three other still to this

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: day unidentified flying objects with four hundred thousand dollars sidewinder missiles.

53
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: But they don't know what they shot down. Turns out

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: that it might be a balloon, club balloon, like one

55
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen dollars balloon that they shot down with

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: a four hundred thousand dollars missile. It's unbelievable. Now, you've

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: got to remember, the first instinct is not only to

58
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: blame Trump. The first instinct was to say, oh, no, no, no,

59
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: this is probably unintentional. If it's probably the result of

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: profound incompetence on the part of one of the Russian pilots.

61
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Let me see profound incompetence when they not once but

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: twice dumped fuel in mid air on our drone. That

63
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: was that was what profound incompetence. Actually, that sounds like

64
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: a mastery of a fighter jet pilot. I don't know

65
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: many fighter jet pilots that are that are probably or

66
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: profoundly incompetent. You're not gonna put somebody in a you know,

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: multi multi hundred plus million dollars jet and they're not

68
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: properly prepared to fly it. They did it once, they

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: did it twice, and then they took this sucker out

70
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: of the air, and now we have, you know, the

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: situation that we have. Now the question comes to this,

72
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: though nothing happened to the communist Chinese, and nothing's gonna

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: happen here as it relates to Russia with Joe Biden,

74
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: you know, and I know a lot of people you

75
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: know might say, see this is all because of the

76
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: war in k with Ukraine. All right, let me just

77
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: stop everybody here. Joe Biden doesn't do anything right. Joe

78
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Biden's been wrong on every foreign policy issue for the

79
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: past forty years. Former Secretary of defense. Kate said that, however, however,

80
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: when the question is is when an innocent sovereign country

81
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: is invaded and there is an assault, a death and

82
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: destruction and the targeting of innocent human beings and apartment

83
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: buildings and neighborhood, etc. Like we see Vladimir Putin as

84
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: unleashed in Ukraine. Now, what Joe Biden should have done.

85
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: If the United States, I said from the beginning they

86
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: want to help financially, they can, but he should have

87
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: secured the financing in Europe because it's in their backyard.

88
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: He should have gotten NATO involvement, which he didn't do.

89
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: And all they did is pony up more money billions, billions, billions, billions,

90
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: and the Europe is watching and saying, well, why should

91
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: we contribute? Let the US pay for this. No. And

92
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: the saddest part of all of it is, if you're

93
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: ever going to fight a war, if you're ever going

94
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: to contribute to a war being fought, you need to

95
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: fight to win it quickly. The way Donald Trump knocked

96
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: out the Caliphate, Well, Hannity, what if he is as

97
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: a tactical nuke, Well, there are Western countries that have

98
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: tactical nukes too, and guess what. That's what we called

99
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: in the Reagan years, mutually your short destruction. You know

100
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: they were raider Reagan. Don't forget what Reagan did. Remember

101
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: if Reagan ordered to strike on Tripoli and Bengalazi retaliation

102
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: for a number of attacks from Libya, including the US

103
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: aircraft and the West Berlin nightclub bombing. One US servicemen

104
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: died and another fifty were injured. And you know where

105
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: that missile went. That strike killed Kaddafi's fifteen month old

106
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: adopt a daughter and injured two of his sons. Guess what,

107
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: Kaddafi didn't do it again. And for all these people

108
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: out there saying we shouldn't should if you take out

109
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: one of our drones, We're gonna take out at least

110
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: five of yours. That's the message. There's got to be consequences.

111
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: Somebody comes up and hits me in the face, I

112
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: am going to hit them till they can't hit me again,

113
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: period and a sentence. You know these people that you know, well,

114
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: we shouldn't do anything. What do you mean we shouldn't

115
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: do anything? That weekness will encourage more of this. So

116
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: I believe it's called peace through strength, It's not peace

117
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: through appeasement. It's not peace through you know, lying and

118
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: making excuses for aggression. It's unbelievable. Anyway, eight hundred and

119
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: nine for one, Shawn our number if you want to

120
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: be a part of the program here to get reaction.

121
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney is with US Air Force fighter pilot,

122
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: author of Fly Into the Wind and founder of Folds

123
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: of Honor. Our friend Tyler merrit is back CEO of

124
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: nine Line Apparel. Tyler, am I allowed to mention at

125
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: an effort that you made for somebody that I know

126
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: pretty well that I work with. Absolutely, Tyler Merritt and

127
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: his group of people he's with Nine Line Apparel had

128
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: a big, big part to play in rescuing not only

129
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: Benjamin Hall, my friend and colleague from Fox, but many

130
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: other people. I mean, you have these special ops guys

131
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: that are retired. They're going in there at their own

132
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: expense in many cases, and they're rescuing people Americans in particular,

133
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: like they did in Afghanistan and bringing them home. And

134
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: you're a hero for doing that, Tyler. I appreciate all

135
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: that you've been doing and continue to do well well.

136
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Sean, and to be clear. You know,

137
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: the Aarroycovery group. Those are the guys out there rescuing

138
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: an orphans Stoff and they had Russians from taking out

139
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: indifferent lights. And there's other groups out there. An individual

140
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: by the name of c. Spray code name that was

141
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: actually out there rescuing those individuals. You know, I played

142
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: a small part in all these things. I was booting

143
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: the ground February, Parch, April, May all the way through June,

144
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: just to see what was actually going on. Because news

145
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: is not news anymore. As you and I have talked

146
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: many times, the sensationalism, So you have to get on

147
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: the ground and see what's actually happening or else You're

148
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: just at my right in my characterization that this is

149
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: a mass targeting of civilians by Vladimir Putin and that

150
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: there's been a you know, death and destruction at a

151
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: level that nobody wants to show. Yeah, the level of

152
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: evil between the Chinese regime and the Russian regime, which

153
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: is absolutely interconnected, is similar to that what we saw

154
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: in the nineteen four do you see You know, these

155
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: individuals they do not have an idea of limited warfare.

156
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: Everything is on the table, but they play a different

157
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: game where we're being very out there on what we're doing.

158
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: You know, they're very clandestine, and we should probably look

159
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: at that playbook again because we've already laid our hands.

160
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: We put our card on the table. President Biden. I

161
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: don't know who's advising him, but where we are right

162
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: now is not where we should be. Let me bring

163
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: in Colonel Dan Rooney. Colonel you're an Air Force pilot.

164
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you is it Do you believe this

165
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: incident with our drone and Russia was unintentional? Do you

166
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: believe that this was the result of profound incompetence on

167
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: the part of Russian pilots or do you agree with

168
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: me that these Russian pilots probably on the orders of

169
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin directly. I don't think they do it independently.

170
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: That it is a pretty skillful maneuver to actually dump

171
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: fuel on a drone not once but twice and then

172
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: clip its wing and send it, you know, spiraling down

173
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: to the ground. Yes, so it's great to be with you,

174
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: and you know I'm always on your side. To start,

175
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: I've watched the footage a lot, and so it was

176
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: a combat fighter pilot for twenty two years. The dumping

177
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: fuel was obviously an aggressive act, but the way he

178
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: actually hits the drone, he's belly up in his fighter jet,

179
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: and that is like cardinal rule number one. You would

180
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: never do it on a what's called to rejoin in

181
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: a fighter jet because you don't have a visual So

182
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: I think it may be a combination of both of

183
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: those things that if you were going to knock this

184
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: thing out of the air with your airplane, which is

185
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: not a great tactic, but if you were going to

186
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: do that, you would want to have visibility on where

187
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: you're actually going to clip that reaper. And in this case,

188
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: he goes belly up and it looks like he tries

189
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: to bail out of it, but he is, you know, incompetent.

190
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: These Russian guys, you can watch the work they're doing

191
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. They have great airplanes. This, you know, the

192
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: SiO twenty seven, the sukoi is actually stands for the legend.

193
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: So this pilot that hit the drone will be a

194
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: legend forever. Maybe not the kind you want to be,

195
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: but it's just really hard to tell watching that footage,

196
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: but the fact that they were there right, it's guilt

197
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: by association It's like when your model is that, but

198
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: you have to admit, and you are admitting that there's

199
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: no way that the two fuel dumps were not intentional.

200
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: That was intentional, absolutely, absolutely. And the other thing too,

201
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: they they don't operate because they don't have decentralized execution

202
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: where you'd send fighter pilots out there and what's called

203
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: close control, so they are getting controlled by the mother

204
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: ship whoever it is putin in the regime. They're not

205
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: acting on their own. So they were there, it was hostile,

206
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: and whether the intent was to take it out of

207
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: the air with a fuel dumper accidentally run into it,

208
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: the realities are it was knocked out. And I'm with you.

209
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: Parody in the world stage breaths chaos, and what we

210
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: have right now is parody. We're not you know, we're

211
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: not strong, and that opens the gates to stuff in Ukraine,

212
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: anally in Taiwan. All of these issues come from weakness

213
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: as a country and how we integrate or you know,

214
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: react to the world. Well, now, Russia, by the way,

215
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: is warning the United States to stop their hostile flights

216
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: over the Black Sea, even though this was over international waters.

217
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: That's not even an issue in dispute, and there's been

218
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: a ratcheting up of rhetoric, as I would expect after

219
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: an incident like this. Quick break more with Lieutenant Colonel

220
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: Dan Rooney on the other side and Tyler Merritt. All right,

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: we continue with Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney and Tyler Merrit.

222
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: He's the CEO of nine Line Apparel. The question is

223
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: is how should the US respond now? One one development

224
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: that has happened. Finally, it appears Joe Biden has stopped

225
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: every step of the way Tyler, the Polish government from

226
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: giving MiG fighter jets to Zelenski. And I'm like, why

227
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: would you ever? Why would you deny Zelensky if you

228
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: want them to win the war? Parody in the skies?

229
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Why would you give dominance of the air to Vladimir Putin?

230
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: Which makes no sense to me? Yeah, well, the whole

231
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: thing makes no sense. And since being on the ground

232
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: and working with both governmental and non governmental organizations on

233
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: both sides of the Aisle, I could say that we

234
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: messed this up in the very beginning. We washed our

235
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: ends of Ukrainians that they're not our partner. At the beginning,

236
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: we left civilians a bunch of no offense to myself

237
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: included you know, washed up sitcom guys and al Bundy's

238
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: who should not be in the Super Bowl, to essentially

239
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: help with finding communication methods, finding clandest ways to get

240
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: weapon systems, get people out. And we kind of left

241
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: that out there until we started to see the will

242
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: of the people. The will of the Ukrainians is much

243
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: different than the conscripted will of the Russians and the

244
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: people in Belarus. I met those individuals, they listened to

245
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: Channel one and they start to see that Russia is

246
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: nothing but propaganda. So from the very very beginning, we

247
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: did not help our clandest science sources. We abandoned them, right.

248
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: We left the Fox recorders to die and rely on

249
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: civilians to go and rescue them. We showed that we

250
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: had no ability to help, kind of behind the scenes

251
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: like we've done many times, and it's dead. Now we're

252
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: overtly saying, hey, this is not a un allied but

253
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: we're going to give billions of dollars of weapons, of

254
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: weapons of high matters, of two missile systems, and we're

255
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: just going to deny the F sixteen. So you're still

256
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: getting military aid. And then at the same time, we're

257
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: still in China as of recently, less than a month ago.

258
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: If you provide military aid, you know there will be consequences. Well,

259
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: guess what China's been providing non lethal aids in the beginning.

260
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: They're going to provide continue to provide non lethal and

261
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: I would argue it's still almost lethal when you're providing

262
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: telegus options and the ability to attract people. If I

263
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: were president, I wouldn't have put us in this position,

264
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: but I would put a hold on any more money's

265
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: going to Ukraine. And Joe Biden needs to convene, Well,

266
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: if we had a real president, it needs to convene

267
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: a meeting with every European country and he needs to

268
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: hand each leader piece of paper with a financial figure

269
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: on it what their contribution needs to be. And unless

270
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: they meet that contribution, unless they do their part, it's

271
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: their backyard. The United States, I have look, support for

272
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: this conflict is diminishing every day, and frankly, and if

273
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: you're not going to fight the war to win it,

274
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: then don't fight. It just gives you might as well

275
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: just hand over Ukraine to putin because that's what you're

276
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna do. Either you're in it, to win it, and

277
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: they're going to pay for it themselves, or and will

278
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: help with the money, or we're getting out. That's it.

279
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: That's what we did with President push in the aggression

280
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: against a presidents who's seen right. That's that's how we

281
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: did it. In the Desert Storm era, we had a

282
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: coalition of the willing, and we had all of these

283
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: organizations and all of these nations fighting together. And we

284
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: don't have any foothold anymore in legitimacy in the world

285
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: stage because we have a choke of a president and

286
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: that's projecting weakness, and that is pure and simple. I

287
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: have a couple more questions on the other side of

288
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: this break. Eight hundred nine four one, Shaan is our

289
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: number if you want to be a part of the program.

290
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: As we continue with Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney Tyler meritus

291
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: with us. Tyler is an issue as it relates to

292
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: his apparel company, and we'll get to that. Eight hundred

293
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: nine four one, Shawn our number. We'll also get to

294
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: your calls next half hour as we continue. By the way,

295
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: even NBC News is getting that you know what Putin

296
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: and this drone incident are really all about that Russian

297
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: leadership approved all these aggressive actions, and even our own

298
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, Joint chiefs of Staff and Defense Secretary admitted

299
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: here they've been ratcheting up their aggressiveness. You think maybe

300
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: we should have known that before the incident with the drone. Anyway,

301
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: here's NBC. The US says those Russian jets made at

302
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: least nineteen passes by the drone in international airspace Tuesday,

303
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: even dumping jet fuel on it before clipping and damaging

304
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: the drone's rear propeller. The US then down to the

305
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: thirty two million dollar drone into the sea tonight. Officials

306
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: here say it's unclear whether Russia's actions were intentional. It

307
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: is possible that this was just a reckless, incompetent piece

308
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: of aviating by the pilot, but we don't know for sure.

309
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: And Peter, we've just learned who in Russia, the usays,

310
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: gave the green light for this less. Three US officials

311
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: familiar with the intelligence tel NBC News that Russia's aggressive

312
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: actions yesterday, including dropping jet fuel on the drone, were

313
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: approved by the highest levels of Russian leadership, but the

314
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: actual collision with the drone, they say, was likely not intentional.

315
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: All right, So there's the report. Anyway, we continue our

316
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: final moments now with Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney and Tyler

317
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Merrit's CEO of Nineline. What should the military reaction be

318
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: in your view? Yeah? What do you need to go

319
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: back to? Like hitting the drone sean and you to

320
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: be able to clip the propeller off. The best aviator

321
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: in the world wouldn't be able to pull that. But

322
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm asking. They're being very aggressive in

323
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: the skies against American targets and it goes all the

324
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: way back to March first. I mean they were flying

325
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: armed aircraft over US bases in Syria. So this has

326
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: been happening with zero reaction and until we start posturing

327
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: in that part of the world. All right, So give

328
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: me a solution. What should the reaction be. You're sitting

329
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: in the situation room with the President. He turns to

330
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: you and he says, Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney, what should

331
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: we do? What do you say? Yeah, We've got to

332
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: get a presence over there, There's no doubt, and we

333
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: need it. If we're going to fly predators national waters,

334
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: we have to have assets supporting them over there. There

335
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: is no doubt this will continue until we put an

336
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: aircraft carrier, until we forward deployed fighter jets in that

337
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: area to deter this aggression. And you know, we've watched

338
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: it for a long time. I don't know if it

339
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: will or when it will happen, but if it doesn't,

340
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: we'll continue to be on show. Is like this talking

341
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: about this stuff continually. Yeah, last question for you, Tyler,

342
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: I understand nine Lives. Now. You use all American cotton

343
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: and everything made in America with your line of clothing

344
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: nine line. By the way, we have a link on

345
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: our website, Hannity dot com and you have great stuff

346
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: up there. Anyway, you use everything, everything's done right here

347
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: in the USA. Now you're under attack by other companies

348
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: that are, for example, using cotton and slave labor from

349
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: the wager minorities for example in China. Why are you

350
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: under attack for that? I guess that's a good question

351
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: for marker Riview and Senator Cotton. They're the ones who

352
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: wrote the ball, the bill that became law as of

353
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: June of last year, and in that state that no

354
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: material specifically in my industry cotton, whether it's it's completely

355
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: that the entire product made in Jinjang were just the

356
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: cotton it picked from slaves that are currently held there

357
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: for being mugglum, the only crime being Muslim that you

358
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: couldn't import that, and you had to sign waivers that

359
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: the customer Border Patrol that you're not importing these things.

360
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: And a supplier of mine tested positive for containing this

361
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: cotton in products that were being sold to me as

362
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: they were ethically sourced in Central and South America. Because

363
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: while I do make a majority of our product in

364
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: the US, right eighty percent of our shirts that were

365
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: sold in the last year are usay made, there's some

366
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: that are made of USA cotton in Central and South America.

367
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: And I have a lot of different manufacturing partners, so

368
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: I tested them all. I tested Ham, I tested Della Canvas,

369
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: I tested other brands, and those other brands that I mentioned.

370
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: You know, I have been threatening litigation, have been coercing

371
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: me in many ways to stop talking, to give up

372
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: my First Amendment right, and you know, Mishaw, that obviously

373
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: the wrong path to take, because I've gotten louder and

374
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: I'll continue to tell people, Hey, Mark Ruvial, Senator Cotton,

375
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: you guys wrote laws that have finds that could be

376
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: an acted for US companies aiding Chinese companies which are

377
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: aiding the communist regime, which are aiding these things because

378
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: they are connected in the fact that Russia is being

379
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: emboldened and empowered because China is giving them more and

380
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: more aid, and lethal aid is not off the table.

381
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: They joined a pack as a February of last year,

382
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: but no limit coalition in China has economic workfare on

383
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: the table. And I would say to the US government

384
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: economic warfare towards China should be on the table, because

385
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: they're not our allies and we rely on them way

386
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: too much. Unreal these times, we're living in a very

387
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: very dangerous and you see what's happening. We have new

388
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: access of evil merging right before our eyes. And meanwhile,

389
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump left office, not only was our border secures,

390
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: not only were we energy independent, not only was the

391
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: country safe and secure, but we had an alliance, believe

392
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: it or not, with Israel, the Saudias, the Jordanians, the Egyptians,

393
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: the Emirates, and now you see Russia and China, they're

394
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: getting closer every day along with Iran. And now the

395
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: Saudis have decided a partner with Iran. And make peace

396
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: with them because the US is not leading anymore. This

397
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: is getting very, very dangerous, and of course we've also

398
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: given up domestic energy production, which is even more dangerous.

399
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: Thank you both appreciate it. Eight hundred and nine four one,

400
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: Sean our number. If you want to be a part

401
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: of the program. Let's say hi to Zaban. Is his

402
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: name in Florida, Zaban, Hi, How are you glad you called?

403
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: Good afternoon Sean. Really great to hear your voice. As

404
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: a retired Air Force flight engineer, I have a couple

405
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: of theories on this your own thing. The Russian side,

406
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: they took it out before I saw the videotape. What

407
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: my first theory was they used a what the mix

408
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: have like the our fighters to have afterburner, So I

409
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: was under the impression that maybe they used an after burner,

410
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: get in front of it and just blast it because

411
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: it's so powerful that they could put foot the drone

412
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: into a into a corkscrew spin. The other theory I

413
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: had was what we saw on the video is that

414
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Russian coming right at the drone. But what we used

415
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: to in the in the Air Force with the tactics,

416
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: they used to have a thing called the thump, So

417
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: the fighter jets at the last minute, they'll do it.

418
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: They'll pull up and all that weight turbulence will hit

419
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: the drone like like slam it and put it into

420
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: a corkscrewed type of spin. But apparently the fighter pilot

421
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: was not that great and UH end up tapping the propeller.

422
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: So that's my two cents as far as that goes.

423
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: I appreciate your insight, and you know this, this is

424
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: a problem. America better come to grips with really quick here.

425
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: This weakness is incurring more and more and more aggression

426
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: and that is a big problem, and America better responds

427
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: sooner than later, because if they don't what's happening. I

428
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: do agree with you. I do agree with you that

429
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: this is from the highest of the Russian UH infrastructure,

430
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: of these commands. And the thing is they probably sent

431
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: some hotdog fighter pilots in there to do that and

432
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't execute it properly. So appreciate you being one

433
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: of us, ABAN and thank you for serving your country too.

434
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: You're you're an American hero. My friend, gotta take a

435
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come back. Eight hundred and nine four

436
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: one Sean. If you want to be a part of

437
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: the program. All right, back to our busy phones. Let's

438
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: go to Derek and Texas. Derek, how are you glad

439
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: you called? Hey? Greeting Sean. What's going on? Beautiful, beautiful

440
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: downtown Fredericksburg, Texas. I just wanted to say that, well,

441
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: I agree with you man that you know, this whole

442
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: thing is a is a cluster, and Putin is a

443
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: horrible human being, psychopath. He's invaded and I'm hearing from

444
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: both the left and the right unfortunately that what we

445
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: need is very you know, like you're hearing very strong

446
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: rhetoric coming out of both sides, and this escalation is

447
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: only going to lead to World War three, and there

448
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: is no winner in World War three. We keep Russia's

449
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: poking the bear with us, We're poking the bear with Russia.

450
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: And okay, so what what you're saying is let Russia

451
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: take Ukraine. No, absolutely not. I'm saying there has to

452
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: be some peace talks somewhere, some diplomacy to end this thing,

453
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: because it's either going to end by the way, I'm

454
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: not against that at all. I'm not in any way, shape,

455
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: amount or form. Let me let me tell you where

456
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: I am now, and I've been pretty consistent on this

457
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: from the beginning. We should help financially, but it was

458
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: predicated on my belief that Europe, this being in their backyard,

459
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: should be on the front lines of all the help here.

460
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: And they've been negligent, and the US has been ridiculously,

461
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, reckless, and it's spending and willingness to give

462
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: money when Europe is not stepping up and doing their part.

463
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: So I would I would put a pause today on

464
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: all spending, and I would send every European leader a

465
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: number what they need to contribute for the United States

466
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: spends another penny helping Ukraine and that, and let me

467
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: tell you what the result of that is going to be.

468
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: They will step up and they will pay the money.

469
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: Because there is a clear and present danger that the

470
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: territorial ambitions of Vladimir Putin go way beyond Ukraine, way

471
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: beyond Ukraine. Do you agree with that. I do not

472
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: agree that his territorial ambition goes beyond Ukraine. I don't

473
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: kind I've not read anything that. I mean, we can

474
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: say that he may be he's probably a madman, He's

475
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: probably a hitler, but he's a hitler with nukes and

476
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: we don't want to. I mean, the fact that I'm

477
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: even having this conversation to be seems absurd because we're

478
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: being led down a path. Well did did uh? You know?

479
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: For example, didn't Neville Chamberlain believe he'd have peace in

480
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: our time? Absolutely, but he wasn't dealing with the nuclear

481
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: superpower at the time. Oh so the fact that their

482
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: nuclear's superpower that factors into our decision. Okay, that's a

483
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: fair point. However, are you going to allow yourself to

484
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: be held hostage by that threat? Well, in Fredericksburg, Texas,

485
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: and in Texas in general, we're not being held hostage.

486
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: And I'm really I don't see. Well, if you're not

487
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: going to do everything you would do to win the war,

488
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: then because you fear that at the end of this

489
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna do something that evil, then it's gonna happen anyway. Well,

490
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: and if you think he's if that's a fear of yours,

491
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: why you wouldn't have a fear of further expansionism. I'm

492
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: having a hard time understanding that. Listen. I let's go

493
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: back to the to the really good point that you made,

494
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: and that would be a negotiated settlement. Let's be honest here.

495
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Russia already annexed Crimeau. Clearly the don Boss

496
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: region is more Russia aligned than Ukrainian aligned, and there

497
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: were more Russian nationals there. Okay, that should be on

498
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: That should be in the negotiating table or on the

499
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: negotiating table. But now, what are we going to do

500
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: with Belarus? Now we're talking about a country that basically

501
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: is another satellite of Vladimir Putin? What do you think

502
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: is going to happen there? I mean, I'm I'm asking

503
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: you a good questions. You got who admit you are?

504
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 1: You're asking me good questions. I have no idea. I'm

505
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: just you know, I know Putin when I'm what I've

506
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: read is has reached out to Zelinsky to discuss a

507
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: negotiated settlement. Not really, as he's reaching out. Every time

508
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: there's been a minor ceasefire and any talk or hope

509
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: of peace talks, he ends up taking out major, massive

510
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: civilian areas because the Ukrainians have let down their guard.

511
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: That has happened every time. Absolutely, But you know, my

512
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: whole argument is that's happening in Ukraine, and it's horrible

513
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: and it's awful and it's disgusting. But that same thing

514
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: could happen here. It could happen in the rest of Europe.

515
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: If we keep poking the bears, this has got to stomp.

516
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: There has to be How are we responsible for what happened?

517
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: You're blaming us? Why would you blame America in this? Yeah,

518
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: because we showed weakness with a pullout of Afghanistan. I

519
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: mean here we are. Well, that's part of it. You're

520
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: right again. I'll give you credit, absolutely so. But that's

521
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: my point. All we're showing is weakness. I think we're

522
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of talking over each other here and we're missing

523
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: each other's point. I'm hearing you loud and clear. Every

524
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: single incident we're referring to here shows weakness. That that's

525
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: the one common thread. Now, the question is how do

526
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: we show strength? Do we have thirty seconds? I'll let

527
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: you answer that, Okay. The way we show strength is

528
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: by getting a different administration. Unfortunately, we are stuck with

529
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: what we have for the next two years. And you know,

530
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: Putin and Gee, they're all watching this pull out of Afghanistan,

531
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: and we, as the American people, are relying on the

532
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: same politicians and bureaucrats that led us through COVID and

533
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: this withdrawal of Afghanistan too. We're trusting them to get

534
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: us out of this quagmire without starting World War three?

535
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Do you feel confident that that will happen? Do we

536
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: feel confident as American people? You know, you know what

537
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: the sad answer is going to be to you. And

538
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm just always honest with my audience. Under Joe Biden,

539
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he's capable of doing anything right. You're

540
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: really right. Our backs are against the wall here and

541
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: our enemies know it. And that's the worst part. I

542
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: do not like being in a week in position. I

543
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: just don't, and we are. That's a sad reality. Anyway,

544
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: Great call, Derek, call anytime. We appreciate you down in Texas.

545
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for being there. Thanks eight eight hundred ninety four one,

546
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: Sean if you want to be a part of the program.

547
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: At the top of the hour, Sarah Carter with an

548
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: investigative report on the border. It's so bad. It's gonna

549
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: be a bigger year this year than last year's record,

550
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: and a bigger year than the previous year's record, and

551
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: I know it's making our country. It's so vulnerable, it's

552
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: it's insane. We'll continue
