The reason was 119 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: that had to do with the babies of slaves. And 120 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: hopefully it's going to say because our country is being scammed, 121 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: we're getting all of these people, they're selling the rights 122 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: to them. 123 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: People are making a big living, getting. 124 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars from bringing 125 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: people in and saying, congratulations, your whole family is going to. 126 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 2: Be a citizen of the United States of America.

And I don't think the lawyers 131 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: talk about it as much. Look at when the Civil 132 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: War ended, and look at the date of when this 133 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: was enacted. 134 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: Okay, Supreme No. 135 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: I went once before the opening of the Supreme Court 136 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: in the less administration. 137 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 3: And which justices will you be listening for or most closely? 138 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: I love a few of them. I don't like some others. 139 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: And you know, you say what you want, but you 140 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: have the ones that were appointed by Barackusan, Obama and Biden. 141 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: I don't care how good your cases. You can act 142 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: the greatest case, ever, they're going to rule against you. 143 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: They always do, and it's not supposed to be that way. 144 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: Now. 145 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: The Republicans tend to be very different. 146 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: They want to show how honorable they are so a 147 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: man can appoint them and they can rule against him. 148 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: It's so proud of it. We're so proud we ruled 149 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: against Trump. We're so proud we're above it. There are 150 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: those that say that's wonderful, and there are those that 151 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: say they're so stupid. But the Democrats never fail at 152 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: one thing. 153 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: When Barack Hussain Obama, or when Biden appoints somebody, they 154 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: go along that line. 155 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: You can have the greatest case in history. 156 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: And almost, I guess I have to say almost, maybe 157 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: I don't have to say it. 158 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: Almost without fail. Those people, four of them, sometimes five 159 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: of them, but four of them, we will vote against 160 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 2: you. You don't have a chance. You don't have a chance. 161 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: And that's not what the court system is now. 162 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: The Republican appointees tend to go and this has been 163 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: long before me, this has been for many years. 164 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: Some people would call it stupidity, some people would call it. 165 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: People say they're right and doing it, and I don't 166 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: mind being right. But the other side almost never does it. 167 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: Almost I think you could find maybe a couple of instants. 168 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: Almost never do when a Democrat appoints a judge, and 169 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about judges, not just justices. You go before 170 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: some of these Democrat judges in Washington, D C. 171 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: And you don't have a chance. 172 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: That's why I gave pardons to hundreds of people that 173 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: were so badly treated, having to do with JA six.

Well, I have 180 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot of respect for it, but the Democrats are 181 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: unified against and you need Democrat votes unless you do 182 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: something smart called the filibuster, terminate the philipus, which they 183 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: should do. 184 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: Republicans should do that. 185 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: But there are a couple of Republicans that maybe they're 186 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: not so smart because the Democrats will do it to 187 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: the first day in office, maybe. 188 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 2: The first hour, it's a question, will be the first 189 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: hour or the first day. 190 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: So who can't believe that a person you can't even 191 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: get it to the floor, that a person wouldn't vote 192 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: for think of it for citizenship, proof of citizenship, for 193 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: voter identification.

These are all ninety ninety five, maybe ninety 203 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: eight in some cases, maybe ninety nine. In terms of 204 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: if you those first two, if you talk about the 205 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: first two. 206 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: I think you know, I think I think in ninety 207 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 2: nine percent. 208 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: Photo identification right when you think, don't you think it's. 209 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: Nice with picture? When you think it's nice. When the 210 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: Democrats had their convention, I remember it so well. 211 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: You had to have identification to get into the arena, 212 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: and they had a card that was bigger than most 213 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: of their chests and it had everything, it had, their 214 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: picture it had and if you didn't have that card, 215 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: they threw your way. 216 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: In New York City recently we had big slow storm. 217 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: Mayor Mendemi had he called out for people to shovel snow, 218 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: but you had to give identification with picture. 219 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: If you didn't have and it wasn't one identification you 220 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: had to have two. So to shovel snow in New 221 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: York City you need identification double with picture. But to vote, 222 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: which is maybe our most cherished thing, you don't need. 223 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: They don't want voter ID, the Democrats because they want 224 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: to cheat. The problem is we need their votes in 225 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: order to get it. You need their votes. And look, 226 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: they know their policy is so bad. They know that 227 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: if they gave those votes, they might never win another election. 228 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: So they're fighting like hell. They're actually fighting for their 229 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: survival because their policy. The Republicans have great policy, smart policy, 230 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: strong boarders, low interest rates, low taxes. We just gave 231 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: you the largest tax cut in history, all these great policies. 232 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: You know, we want a strong military. Look at our military. 233 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: We have the strongest military. Look what happened in Venice. 234 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: It was so incredible. People said, the greatest military maneuver 235 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: they've ever seen. Look what's happening in Iran. We're just 236 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: I mean, we're totally unchecked. Everything's been bombed out. They 237 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: have no anti aircraft protection, they have known nothing, they 238 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: don't have anything. Look at our military. The Democrats don't 239 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: want that. And when I read the fake New York Times. 240 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: You take a look at it, it's like, oh, they're 241 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: putting up a good fight. They're putting up a fight. 242 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: They're not even shooting at us. Okay, we have planes. 243 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: Planes are just ruling this guy. We have airplanes. 244 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: Those two, those two, we have air nice right, Lincoln. 245 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: With a little modern touch, the Great Benjamin Frankly with 246 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: a little modern touch. 247 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 2: But think of it. 248 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: They are roaming the skies over terran They're not even 249 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: being shot at because their equipment's been totally decimated. 250 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: They have nothing to sh They have no navy. They 251 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: have known anything. 252 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: And just think about this. They have no navy, they 253 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: have no military, they have known nothing. 254 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: They're losing. They admit they're losing. They're begging to make 255 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: a deal. 256 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: And if you read the fake New York Times, a 257 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: corrupt newspaper where I'm suing them and I think I 258 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: should do very well, but you would almost think who's winning. 259 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: It's so fraudulent. 260 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: But just to finish up with the New York Times, 261 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: if you read the New York Times prior to my 262 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: election victory, including the first one and the second one too, 263 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I won three times. I went three times convincingly. But 264 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: let's go to the third victory. If you read the 265 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: New York Times, you would say, oh, Trump's gonna lose. 266 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: But I won an a lancelot, I won the popular vote, 267 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: I won the electoral College, and a massive number right, 268 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: I won the counties, six percent of the counties, all 269 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,479 Speaker 1: of these different things. Winning the popular vote for Republicans 270 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: pretty amazing. But if you read the New York Times 271 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: for months and months and months, you're hearing, oh, Trump, 272 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: this was so badly. We have to straighten out our media. 273 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: The reason their circulation is way down. The New York 274 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: Times circulation, you know, has gotten way down. Washington Post 275 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: is almost extinct. The papers that are being dishonest papers. Generally, 276 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: people don't believe the media. And to finish, I got 277 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: ninety three percent bad publicity. Some people say ninety seven, 278 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: But between ninety three and ninety seven a person that 279 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: gets ninety seven percent of bad stories, maybe Caroline's doing 280 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: a poor job. 281 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. She's my representatiing a terrible job. Should 282 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: we keep everything? 283 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 4: We'll keep her. 284 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: But I get ninety three to ninety seven percent bad press, 285 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: fake press, Oh fake, I wanted a landslide. When you 286 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: get ninety three to ninety seven bad stories, bad press, 287 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: and you went in a landslide. 288 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: You know what that says? People don't believe the press. 289 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: And when people don't believe the press, that's a very 290 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: bad thing for our country. And when you look at 291 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: let's say, the New York Times of the Washington Post, 292 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: the stores are so fake. 293 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal too, a lot of bad stories. I 294 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: don't know what happened to them, but they're bad. 295 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: Their circulation went way down Wall Street Journal. I don't 296 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: know if you saw the numbers that came out yesterday. 297 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: New York Times way down, Wall Street Journal way down, 298 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: Washington Post number one, way down because. 299 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: People don't believe them anymore. 300 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: And until they get it's not the paper, it's not 301 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: the big it's that they have no credibility anymore, which 302 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: is a very sad thing for a country. 303 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, every boy there, Thank you very much. 304 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 4: Welcome everybody. 305 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 7: You've just been watching President Trump finish a news conference 306 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 7: after he signed an executive order.

The executive Order, 353 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 7: clearly taking a shot at improving these dirty voter rolls 354 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 7: that Harmey Dillan's been doing a great job exposing. 355 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 4: And then too him wanting to show up the Supreme 356 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 4: Court Toba. 357 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 7: And have his face be looked at by the justices 358 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 7: as I consider birthright citizenship.

There were several amendments. 366 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 5: Passed at the end of the Civil War, and they 367 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 5: were all designed to address what are we going to 368 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 5: do with the people who were formally classified as slaves? 369 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 5: And so President Trump is in the right here, and 370 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 5: I think he's going to take a great deal of interest. 371 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 8: You know, our forefathers. 372 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 5: If you would have thought at the time that somebody 373 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 5: who come here from France, have a baby, get back 374 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 5: on the boat and go back to France that was 375 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 5: an American citizen, that would be ridiculous. 376 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 8: Nobody would have dreamed that. 377 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 5: So it's good President Trump is monitoring that. Your other 378 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 5: issue there was what. 379 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 4: The election integrity order? 380 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, the electionary President Trump is one hundred percent right. 381 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 5: The viciousness which the Democrats use. Not to have photo 382 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 5: ID or not to care whether people here are citizens 383 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 5: or not. They might as well walk around with a 384 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 5: sign on their head. We want to cheat, I mean, 385 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 5: why else? I have somebody that works for me from Mexico. 386 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 5: They have photo ID in Mexico. What's wrong with doing 387 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 5: it like they do in Mexico? 388 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 8: But here in America? No, no, no, no, no, we 389 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 8: can't have photo ID. 390 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 5: I mean, my goodness, why why do you object to this? 391 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 5: In other countries they put, you know, a little dot 392 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 5: on your hand or whatever when you vote. I mean, 393 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 5: we are so kind of Lucy Goosey here in the 394 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 5: United States. President Trump's trying to straighten it up and 395 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 5: other people they the only possible explanation for their position. 396 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 8: You know, we don't want to crack down, We don't 397 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 8: want to. 398 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 5: Make sure people are citizens before they vote. The only 399 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 5: explanation for this is they want to take advantage of 400 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 5: a Lucy Goosey citizen Lucy Goosy's system and cheat. 401 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 9: Cool Sir, John and I have had the U on 402 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 9: the show for years, and I know that you have 403 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 9: a heart for children, as evidence by your work on 404 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 9: Capitol Hill. So I wanted to get your take on 405 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 9: this case. The court struck down a Colorado law, of course, 406 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 9: that banned what they referred to as conversion therapy for 407 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 9: LGBTQ minors. It was an eight to one decision. Only 408 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 9: Katanji Brown Jackson dissented. But it seems to me that this, 409 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 9: despite despite the fact that this is a ninety ten 410 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 9: and eighty twenty issue, at least this is still a 411 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 9: lingering issue. Do you think it's going to be something 412 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 9: that has still talked about and propels votes in the midterms. 413 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 8: I'm afraid. 414 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 5: So it is bizarre that the Democrats are so involved 415 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 5: in ingratiating themselves to the most extreme members of the 416 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 5: lgb community that. 417 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 8: They want to have miners. Can you imagine a fourteen 418 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 8: year old, a fifteen year old having surgery that can't 419 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 8: be turned around for life. I mean, what type of 420 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 8: sex doctor would do that and what type of six 421 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 8: state legislature would allow such things. So it should be 422 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 8: brought up not only. 423 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 5: Because we want to do what we can to help 424 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 5: these poor people. We don't want to allow some fast 425 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 5: talking doctor to talk to them or them and their 426 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 5: parents into lopping off body parts when you're fourteen or 427 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 5: fifteen years old, that's for sure, so ruining people's lives. 428 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 5: I mean, it also says that people who vote that 429 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 5: way are so utterly. 430 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 8: Lacking in common sense. 431 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 5: You know, they listen to some stupid psychologists or stupid 432 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 5: psychiatrists and says, this is what we have to do. 433 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 8: I would hope. 434 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 5: Most Americans have more common sense, but I think particularly 435 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 5: in your left wing maybe college professor type people, they say, well, 436 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 5: this guy, you know, he went to college until he 437 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 5: was twenty eight years old, and he thinks it's okay 438 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 5: to remove fourteen year old body parts, so we have 439 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 5: to go ahead with it. 440 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 8: Well, that's just ridiculous. 441 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 5: We hope people with the common sense went out and 442 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 5: hopefully in the elections people remember which party is the 443 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 5: party of common sense and which party is the party 444 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 5: of If some guy hung around and went to college 445 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 5: for ten years, will do anything, no matter how stupid 446 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 5: he wants it to be. 447 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 7: Yeah, So you spent a lot of time forcing a 448 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 7: conversation about issues that we often try to sweep under 449 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 7: the rug. The effort to the fact that the Biden 450 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 7: administration lost a track of all these children who came 451 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 7: across the border vulnerable without their parents. The Bidy administration 452 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 7: was supposed to take care of them. You found that 453 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 7: they were lost. You got them found. In the last 454 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 7: year with the work of Tom Homan, you've taken on 455 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 7: the fraudsters who steal our entitlement money and still want 456 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 7: to stay in the country. You think they should be deported. 457 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 7: You help get that bill passed. You took on another 458 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 7: big issue. It's probably one of the hardest. We all 459 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 7: have a hard time talking about mental health, the rise 460 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 7: and depression, the rise in suicide. You had a recent roundtable. 461 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 7: This is a really big crisis in America. It hardly 462 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 7: talked about. Tell us what went on at that roundtable. 463 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 7: Why it's so important to get this issue front and center. 464 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 5: Well, you have to look out all of the young 465 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 5: people who are getting powerful antidepressants, and these kids are 466 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 5: not told that it's very difficult once you take them 467 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 5: to get off of them. So you're having twelve, thirteen, 468 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 5: fourteen year olds getting powerful drugs that are very very difficult. 469 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 5: You can't just go cold turkey and get off of 470 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 5: these things. We heard testimony from a gal she began 471 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 5: to take these things when she was fourteen. She didn't 472 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 5: get off them until she was thirty three or thirty 473 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 5: four years old, and she was a very bright together gal. 474 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 5: I mean, if she wasn't so bright, I can imagine 475 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 5: people on these things forever and sometimes attempting or actually 476 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 5: committing suicide. 477 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 8: You take these drugs. 478 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 5: Expecting to be happier, and then you wind up being 479 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 5: suicidal or kill yourself. 480 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 4: It's just her breaking. 481 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 8: We've got to stand up to the. 482 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 5: Drug companies and educate these young people and their parents. 483 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 8: Be careful before you let your kids. 484 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 5: Even nineteen or twenty year olds, be careful before you 485 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 5: let them take these powerful drugs. You know, God made 486 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 5: your body, don't you know. Don't take powerful drugs and 487 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 5: change the way you think about things. That's big trouble. 488 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 5: And like I said, I think we should look into it. 489 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 5: Didn't bring up the hearing, but I think we should 490 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 5: look into people who some of these mass shooters and 491 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 5: see how many of them were on drugs of some nature. 492 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 5: It's not natural to want to go out with a 493 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 5: gun and killed. 494 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 8: Seven or eight people in a school. 495 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 5: I'd like to know how many of these mass shooters 496 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 5: are on some type of medications prescribed by our out 497 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 5: of control psychiatric profession. 498 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 9: Devastating, devastating topic. I'm so glad that you're having that conversation. 499 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 9: But let's end on something a little bit lighter. Something 500 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 9: you and I share a love for hunting, and as 501 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 9: sportsmen and women.

E. 504 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 9: I died in a billion dollars towards conservation every year, right. 505 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 8: Right, right, Well, very important. 506 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 5: We always have to have opportunity for young people to use. 507 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 8: All our lands. 508 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 5: And you know, in some areas the number of people 509 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 5: go hunting is decreasing, so we have to do all 510 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 5: we can to allow opportunities to go hunting, share a 511 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 5: heritage our ancestors enjoyed, and teach our young people about 512 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 5: our natural resources, which is something. 513 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 8: That we like to think we help protect. 514 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, so important, a lot of important work.

They work by lowering 532 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 7: blood sugar and reducing appetite. So whatever, you're looking to 533 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 7: lose weight but not interested in painful weekly injections, especially 534 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 7: when you hear about some of those intense side effects. 535 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 7: That's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called Lean, 536 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 7: and the results are remarkable.

The alliance 551 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 9: has been a prominent discussion because it seems that our 552 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 9: European allies are less than enthused to help us in 553 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 9: the conflict, even closing their airspace and military basis to 554 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 9: the United States. President Trump and Secretary of warpete Hegseth 555 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 9: have even indicated that if European nations won't help, maybe 556 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 9: there's no reason at all for us to be in NATO. 557 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 9: So joining us now to help break this all down. 558 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 9: Senior Research Fellow for Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology at 559 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 9: the Heritage Foundation. He's also a twenty six year Navy veteran. 560 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 9: Brent Saler, Brent, thanks so much for being with us. 561 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 2: Hey, good evening, thanks for having me back on. 562 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 9: Absolutely, we love having you here. And as we were 563 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 9: just discussing, you know, the strongest position to be in 564 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 9: in a debate is the position where you are willing 565 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 9: to walk away and either way you win. When it 566 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 9: comes to NATO, this is something that President Trump has 567 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 9: talked about for decades. Even before he was president, he 568 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 9: was opining about how maybe we don't even need to 569 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 9: be in NATO anymore. So was that the point of 570 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 9: all of us, all of us to begin with, with 571 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 9: President Trump requesting their assistance, knowing that they would probably say, no. 572 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 10: I'm not so sure. I mean, the NATO countries still 573 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 10: offer a lot of benefit to the United States. Uh, 574 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 10: And there's a long history there that we share in 575 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 10: a lot of common interest. There's a lot of problems 576 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 10: that we have, and I mean vice presidents in Secretary 577 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 10: of State Rubio has been have been very pointed at 578 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 10: back actually what some of those problems are, you know, 579 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 10: freedom of speech and how that seems to be eroding 580 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 10: is something more fundamentally at risk of driving a wedge 581 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 10: between our NATO partners. But this recent tip about airspace, 582 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 10: the Spanish government's very far left socialist no fan of America, 583 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 10: no fan of Trump personally, but that government will change 584 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 10: and the common interest underneath there and the vast majority 585 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 10: of Spaniards who have a lot more in common with us, 586 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 10: will go back to a better place. Also, not the 587 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 10: first time that they've locked us out of airspace. Happened 588 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 10: in nineteen eighty six when we were executing retribution for 589 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 10: Libyan government, you know, under Scadafi that killed several of 590 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 10: our service members in Berlin, and they shut their airspace 591 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 10: at that time for an air it against tripling. 592 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 11: Yeah, so we've been here. 593 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 4: She does repeat itself. Yeah, we have done it before. 594 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 7: You're right, brend I want to ask a little bit 595 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 7: about the optionality for the strait up her moves, which 596 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 7: seems to be the last sort of hang up in 597 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 7: this operation, which has been very successful. Iran has taken 598 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 7: a real beaten. Option one is we go in and 599 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 7: clear it. Option two we avoid it and we have 600 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 7: a US fire sale and try to get as many 601 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 7: of our allies to buy our own oil and gas. 602 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 7: That seems like we might not be able to meet 603 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 7: all demand. But an option option three is a negotiated settlement. 604 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 7: What door do you think, Manty Hall is going to. 605 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 4: Peck kind of this one. 606 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 10: It's I think it's probably going to be a mix 607 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 10: of those or probably none of them, and it'll surprise 608 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 10: us all. 609 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 8: In the outcome. 610 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 10: And it's still the hope is and the only real 611 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 10: enduring way American interests in American lives are safe is 612 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 10: if a new government in Iran comes forward that's no 613 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 10: longer a threat to its neighbors and Israeli United States. 614 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 10: But the reality is is the strait's pretty open. The 615 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,239 Speaker 10: shipping is starting to pick back up. It's not that 616 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 10: the Iranians are attacking and sinking ships in large numbers, 617 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 10: or that they have the capacity, which they don't anymore. 618 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 10: They can still lob a missile or run a ship 619 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 10: into the side of it. But when you have a 620 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 10: strait that has over one hundred ships and before this 621 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 10: conflict passing through there, it means they're not able to 622 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 10: really do much to the actual volume of shipping on 623 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 10: a normal day. And it's starting to pick up again. 624 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 10: The attack that just happened yesterday a little over twenty 625 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 10: four hours ago, actually was done by a drone, didn't 626 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 10: cause very much damage to the ship. These are massive 627 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 10: ships and oh by the way, that was the first 628 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 10: attack in twelve days. 629 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 4: A great point, goodness, Grace Brent. 630 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 9: When it comes to our European allies and their support 631 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 9: for US and this mission, what brings the tightest squeeze, 632 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 9: That is the impetus for them to say, all right, fine, fine, 633 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 9: fine will help. 634 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 6: Well I twisted a little bit. 635 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 10: I mean, no nation, sovereign nations should be expected to 636 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 10: do something that's not in their national self interest. Quite frankly, 637 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 10: that's the way these European countries should be looking at this, 638 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 10: rather than some political cheap shots to get political points. 639 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 10: I mean, the former prime minister now former Prime Minister 640 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 10: Denmark try to play the same game over the commentary 641 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 10: and the rhetoric over Greenland, and she's out of office 642 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 10: now for it. So hopefully, you know, these countries in 643 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 10: Western Europe will kind of step back and say what's 644 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 10: in our best interest. I think the French, you're playing 645 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 10: this game with the Carriers Strike Group, and the Eastern 646 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 10: Mediterranean might make its way eventually down to the Middle East. 647 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 10: They do have a base in UAE that's been defending 648 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 10: and helping definu A, so quietly, if they just show 649 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 10: up and they have a presence there, and they are 650 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 10: protecting their own space. 651 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 11: It's a net positive. 652 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 10: Let them have that. It's certainly in alignment with our 653 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 10: interest too. 654 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a great point, Brent, when you look at 655 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 7: the dynamic that the president has set in motion. Cuba 656 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 7: severely destabilized, Venezuela already under new management, not perfect management, 657 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 7: but certainly more friendly. Iran decimated and probably soon to 658 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 7: be under new management. The big losers seemed to be 659 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 7: in the offing. The two people we don't talk about enough, 660 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 7: China and Russia. How are they affected by this sort 661 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 7: of triumpherent of successes that the president is or it's 662 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 7: the triumphant of actions that the President's been taking. 663 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 10: Well, we're far from out of the woods on Cuba, Venezuela, 664 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 10: and we're still in the fight on Iran. But the 665 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 10: key thing, the common denominator of those three is that 666 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 10: the United States retains significant leverage over the government's there 667 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 10: to try to compel them to do what's in America's 668 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 10: best interest and quite frankly, even the interest of their people. 669 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 11: We'll see how it all plays out. 670 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 10: Venezuela is probably the best case right now, but again, 671 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 10: it's far from done China and Russia. I think it's 672 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 10: really China that all of this is centered on, and 673 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 10: a grand strategic calculus. China before Maduro Christmas last year, 674 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 10: China was the beneficiary of a lot of cheap oil 675 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 10: in terms of trade that it dictated. Now over twenty 676 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 10: percent of its oil that it imports, it's going to 677 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 10: have to pay a fair market price greatly higher than 678 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 10: what it did before. And oh, by the way, their 679 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 10: foe in DC is the one that controls it. So 680 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 10: a lot of strong power play made by the United 681 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 10: States under President Trump, I think leading up to perhaps 682 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 10: the summit that might happen later part of April. 683 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 4: Brent. 684 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 9: Before we let you go, a few weeks ago, we 685 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 9: were discussing how diminished the number of missiles coming out 686 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 9: of the regime and coming out of Iran. Was that 687 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 9: has picked up since then? What do you make of that? 688 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 9: Did they all of a sudden get an influx of 689 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 9: inventory or was that a result of what I mean 690 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 9: some people might consider victory lap when they were saying, 691 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 9: look at how diminished this is. 692 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 10: Well, we do know they are getting intelligence from satellite 693 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 10: imagery from Russia and Beijing, and so that helps them 694 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 10: with their limited arsenal what's left of it to make 695 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 10: sure every shot counts, at least the missiles that do work. 696 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 10: So again, the fact that they got over the weekend 697 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 10: where they destroyed one of our electronics warfare aircraft, very 698 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 10: expensive piece of gear, but also injured a lot of 699 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 10: soldiers and airmen. 700 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 11: I mean, this is what they're doing. 701 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 4: They are holding. 702 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 10: Back and waiting until that's the right time to use 703 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 10: their weapons. They're not doing the mass fires that we 704 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 10: saw in the first week. I think that's largely because 705 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 10: we've degraded their capacity, but it's also they know they're 706 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 10: trying to string this game out as long as possible 707 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 10: to get the best deal they can. The reality is 708 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 10: there's nothing in the United States position on this that 709 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 10: we should give or seed. It's the Iranians that have 710 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 10: the losing hand, even though they still have the chance 711 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 10: to cause damage every once in a while. 712 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 9: Brenzeler, we always love having you here. I love the 713 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 9: wisdom that you bring. Senior Research Fellow for Naval Warfare 714 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 9: and Advanced Technology over at the Heritage Foundation. Thanks for 715 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 9: being with us, Brent. 716 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 4: Thank you. Have a good night you too. 717 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 9: All Right, everybody, We're going to take a very quick break, 718 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 9: but we'll be back on the other side. 719 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 4: Welcome back to America. 720 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 7: Everybody who knows me knows I'm a giant space nut. 721 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 7: I love space exploration and I can remember sitting on 722 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 7: my mom's last lap watching the early Apollo missions as 723 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 7: a young boy. My wife happened to be born on 724 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 7: the very day man walk down the Moon, so we 725 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 7: have all of these incredible connections. For the first time 726 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 7: in a half century, American astronauts are going to be 727 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 7: headed towards the Moon. NASA's Artemis two mission is set 728 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 7: to carry four astronauts around the Moon. 729 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 4: They leave tomorrow. 730 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 7: It's going to mark you Mannie's first crude journey beyond 731 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 7: Low Herbert Earth in more. 732 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 4: Than a half century. Joining me right now to. 733 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 7: Discuss all of that is kind of Mike Herodopolis, who's 734 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 7: right there in the middle of all the excitement in Florida. 735 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 4: So good to have you on the show. 736 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 6: Well, thank you, John, great to beyond great to see 737 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 6: as well, Amanda. 738 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, great, great to have you on. You chair the 739 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 7: Subcommittee for Space Exploration. This is a big moment, a 740 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 7: long time coming. We've been talking about getting back in 741 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 7: the game on Moon on the Moon. Now we got 742 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 7: a plan to go Moon and then Moon to Mars. 743 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 7: How big a moment is tomorrow's liftoff. 744 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 6: Well, it's just absolutely huge. There's no other way to 745 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 6: put it. America is dominant in space once again. As 746 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 6: you know, almost every day we launch rockets right at 747 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 6: a Florida with whether it be SpaceX or Blue Origin, 748 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 6: And of course NASA is taking the lead now with 749 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 6: Artemis two putting astronauts around the Moon for the first 750 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 6: time since nineteen seventy two and the furthest we've ever 751 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 6: been away from Earth. I was on campus today taking 752 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 6: a look at the SLS rocket and of course the 753 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 6: Orion spacecraft. We're ready to go, and I think we're 754 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 6: probably eighty plus percent chance of launching on all day's 755 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 6: April Ferls Day. It's going to be an exciting to 756 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 6: accade the Space Center and a big day for America. 757 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 9: So so exciting. And my family actually has a connection 758 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 9: to My parents' first date was watching the Moon landing 759 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 9: and watching Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon, and speaking 760 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 9: of that, speaking of the Apollo missions, you know, we 761 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 9: have advanced so far beyond the technology of that, and 762 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 9: I remember hearing from my parents about Mike Collins being 763 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 9: referred to as the loneliest man in the universe because 764 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 9: he was on the far side of the moon. Do 765 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 9: we now have the capability with communications that we're going 766 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 9: to be able to hear from them throughout the entire orbit, 767 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 9: even on the far side of the Moon. 768 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 6: I believe we will. I think that there'll be a 769 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 6: slight knockout. But in general, we are looking at new 770 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 6: technologies and as you know, landing on a moon is 771 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 6: not just hard, but it's a big deal. We're not 772 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 6: quite there yet with the landers. SpaceX and Blue Origin 773 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 6: are actually leading that. But what we're looking at now 774 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 6: is actually having a Moon colony so that we can eventually, 775 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 6: of course launchs as John mentioned earlier, eventually going to 776 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 6: Mars from the Moon. It's a huge endeavor. And again 777 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 6: this is about not just going on an adventure. This 778 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 6: is also of course a commercial mission, and ultimately we 779 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,280 Speaker 6: face a threat from China, so it's a military reality 780 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 6: as well. 781 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, now it is. 782 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 7: There's so many different implications for this. Obviously ingenuity on 783 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 7: display national security at play. There also is a potential 784 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 7: to set a record here. Now we're not going to 785 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 7: set foot. 786 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 4: On the Moon. This time we're going to orbit around it. 787 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 7: But this could be the furthest we've gone into space 788 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 7: ever in our world history. 789 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 6: Correct, that's exactly right. We go as a man to 790 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 6: put to the far side. We're going to be out 791 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 6: there so far further than ever been before. And again 792 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 6: it's a testament to the heroic efforts of these astronauts. 793 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 6: I mean, you talk about taking a mission on full force, 794 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 6: they're doing it, and we have four astronauts going there. 795 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 6: Of course, it's going to be a challenging ten days 796 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 6: out in space, but we're going to learn the things 797 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 6: necessary to to midland in the Moon, hopefully by twenty 798 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 6: twenty eight. Jared Isaacman, our incredible new NASA administrator, has 799 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 6: really hit the ground running. He has a plan for 800 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 6: us to get back to the Moon and beat the 801 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 6: Chinese with two landings potentially in twenty twenty eight, establishing 802 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 6: a moon base, because there's the potential actually launched from 803 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 6: the Moon, because there is we believe water on the 804 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 6: south side of the Moon, and that means means hydrogens there, 805 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 6: which of course is the great propellant that puts us 806 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 6: into space as well. 807 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 9: Sar, I want to ask you, speaking of Jared Isaacman, 808 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 9: I know that he is leaning on some companies, private 809 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,919 Speaker 9: companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX to fulfill a lot 810 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 9: of NASA's long term goals, one of which is putting 811 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 9: a base on the Moon. And I've heard a lot 812 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 9: of people out there floating the idea of naming it 813 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 9: the Donald J. Trump Moon Base. But is a moon 814 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 9: base something militarily that you think is pretty soon on 815 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 9: the horizon. 816 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 6: I do, as you know, even before he put astronauts there, 817 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 6: hopefully in twenty twenty eight, will be the landings and cargo, 818 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 6: I believe on the Moon ahead of time, so they 819 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 6: have things to work on once they get there. We 820 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 6: want to beat the Chinese there for the simple reason 821 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 6: that they simply do not respect life like we do. 822 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 6: And second, they don't respect the environment either. As I said, 823 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 6: when you have water potentially on the Moon as a 824 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 6: potential energy source, we want to make sure that it's 825 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 6: not destroyed by some of the chemical contaminants that sometimes 826 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 6: come out of China. And how they don't respect the environment, 827 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 6: it's one of the reasons why so challenge him the 828 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 6: trade with him, because they just don't comply with basic 829 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 6: standards for keeping this water pure. So we want to 830 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 6: get there first. We want to establish that moon base 831 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 6: and build upon, of course, our strong position already with 832 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 6: the satellites that circle the world. And the Chinese are 833 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 6: there not look out for the investentes of the United States, obviously, 834 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 6: and I don't think for the world. America is the 835 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 6: land of free and we have respected the treaty that 836 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 6: was put back in place in the nineteen sixties. Where 837 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 6: where's afraid that the Chinese get there first? Who knows 838 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 6: what they might do, and as you know, they simply 839 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 6: don't play by the rules. So let's make sure it's America, 840 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 6: not the Chinese, setting the rule book for our new 841 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,439 Speaker 6: operations on the moon. 842 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty exciting. 843 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,760 Speaker 7: This is a big moment for Florida, your home state, 844 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 7: which has been home to our space program from its 845 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 7: very beginnings. But there's also a lot of new technology here. 846 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 7: The old Apollo capsules had three astronauts. We got four 847 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 7: this time. There's all sorts of new capabilities in this 848 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 7: rocket system that will allow for the future building of 849 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 7: a moon base. Tell us what are some of the 850 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 7: benchmarks the key moments on this mission? You're going to 851 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 7: be watching as an oversight chairman to make sure that 852 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 7: we're meeting our new goals for moon exploration. 853 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 6: Well again, John, this is a challenging thing. As we 854 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 6: sometimes say, space is hard. There's a reason why only 855 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 6: America has been successful in landing at astronaut on the Moon. 856 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 6: We'd have done it six times, and now we want 857 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 6: to go to the next level. You know, it's one 858 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 6: thing the land in the Moon, it's a whole another 859 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 6: thing to colonize it, and so these rocket systems are 860 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 6: central defining that success. It's again the precursor to eventually 861 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 6: a moon landing in twenty twenty eight, and we're going 862 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 6: to be running all the systems here Artemis two, three, 863 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 6: and four will be setting up for that moon landing eventually. 864 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 6: As Amanda asked about the private companies, we're relying on 865 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,919 Speaker 6: SpaceX and Blue Origin to establish those landers that are 866 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 6: not ready yet, and it's going to be very different 867 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 6: look than the lander we saw back in nineteen sixty nine. 868 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 6: Little in the last lander in nineteen seventy two, especially 869 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 6: the SpaceX model, which is a much taller configuration, but 870 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 6: it would hold a lot more car for us to 871 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 6: establish the Moon base more succinctly, but as a man 872 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 6: to ask, I think the real question is is when 873 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 6: they go to that far side, further than any astronaut's 874 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,760 Speaker 6: been before, what communication links do we have in place? 875 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 6: How can we make sure we're making the visual images 876 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 6: best so when we do land in the Moon, we 877 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 6: landed the right place, because the ultimate goal is getting 878 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 6: down to the South Pole and make sure we establish 879 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,879 Speaker 6: that with American let's just say dominance, because we want 880 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 6: to make sure we protect that potential energy and water 881 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 6: source in the future, which is so vital if we're 882 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,839 Speaker 6: really going to colonize the Moon successfully and ultimately send 883 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 6: rockets from the Moon off to Mars. 884 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 4: Very cool, sir. 885 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 9: Just a few years ago, we had a bit of 886 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 9: a national drama as we were watching Sonny Williams and 887 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 9: Butch Wilmore I think was his name, stranded up in 888 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 9: space and Joe Biden, I think unfairly got blamed for that. 889 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 9: But for President Trump, this is a notch for him. 890 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 9: This is a success for his administration, isn't it. 891 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 6: I really believe so. I remember that President's all in 892 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,720 Speaker 6: on this one, Amanda. I mean, he created the Space 893 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 6: Force and he is all in. And remember he's the 894 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 6: one who put the largest funding ever for NASA. We're 895 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,439 Speaker 6: not only maxed out the budget this year at over 896 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 6: twenty four billion, but we added almost ten billion dollars 897 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 6: in the Big Bill back in July. So he's putting 898 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 6: his money where his mouth is. The Congress is supporting 899 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 6: that endeavor, and we know we can't be number one 900 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 6: on Earth if we're number two in space. And the 901 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 6: President and so far as course mentioning space in his 902 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 6: inaugural address, the president to do so since Ronald Reagan. 903 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 6: And so we're optimistic about what we can accomplish here. 904 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 6: And I remember the new technologies that will come for 905 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 6: landing on the Moon and the sustaining life on the 906 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 6: Moon is going to help our everyday lives here on Earth. 907 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 6: So it's a win win, and we're going to have 908 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 6: that ultimate high ground because we know the Chinese just 909 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 6: don't play by the rules. They've been doing the fariest 910 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 6: things in space for their satellites, and we even though 911 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 6: the Russians collided some of those satellites in space, which 912 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 6: has caused a lot of space debris, which diminishes the 913 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 6: life of a satellite. Because they always have to maneuver 914 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 6: around some of the larger chunks, so it's a big 915 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 6: battle out to be the chairman of this committee, and 916 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 6: we're really optimistic Tomorrow will be a start of an 917 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 6: incredible ten day journey in which we'll learn a lot 918 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,720 Speaker 6: so we can land on the moon with more success. 919 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 7: Pretty darn cool and Congressman, you're a big part of 920 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 7: this year. Committee has been shepherding us all along. It's 921 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 7: a great honor to have you in the show the 922 00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 7: eve of such a big day. 923 00:45:59,400 --> 00:45:59,919 Speaker 4: Thanks for joining. 924 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 6: Thanks you non takes a man. 925 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 11: I feel like you to see us soon. 926 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 7: Hey, folks, Tomorrow night, that moonshot most likely will happen 927 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 7: here during our show. 928 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 4: We'll have live coverage all throughout the night. We're gona 929 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 4: take a quick rumerce for break when we come back. 930 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 4: One of the most famous and accomplished. 931 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 7: Editor agents in the history of the FBI going to 932 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 7: join us, a good friend, Wayne Barnes. He's got a 933 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 7: new book out. You're going to want to read it 934 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 7: right after these messages. 935 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 9: Welcome back, everybody. You've heard us talk plenty about the 936 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 9: deep state, but it's actually not a new phenomenon. Deception 937 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 9: even amongst America's own intelligence and law enforcement agencies goes 938 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 9: back a very long way. For example, we now have 939 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 9: an account from an FBI counter intelligence agent who was 940 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,280 Speaker 9: recruited to find a Russian mole inside the bureau. However, 941 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 9: when he found the mole, FBI leadership buried it. So 942 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 9: why would they do that? Well, we're going to ask 943 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 9: that counter intelligence agent himself. Joining us now to put 944 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 9: this in perspective is a former FBI counter intel agent 945 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 9: and author of the book A Trader in the FBI, 946 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 9: Wayne Barnes. Wayne, thank you so much for being with us. 947 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 11: My pleasure. It's good to see you. 948 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 9: Absolutely, you know, I think for a lot of our 949 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 9: audience they let's just say, the FBI has suffered some 950 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 9: damage because of corruption within its ranks. Were you surprised 951 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 9: when this happened? And could things like this still be happening? 952 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 11: Well, it's a more complicated story then. Well it was 953 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 11: in nineteen ninety eight, it's the end of the Cold 954 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 11: War and all along when people are now talking about 955 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 11: it as the Hanson case, we did not know what 956 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 11: was Robert Hanson. We just had an unknown subject who 957 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 11: we had learned there was a Soviet coming to the 958 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 11: US former Soviet official who knew the identity of the 959 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 11: unknown subject in the FBI, and the goal was to 960 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 11: try to recruit him. He was going to a film 961 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 11: festival in Santa Monica. I was given the assignment to 962 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 11: go there, find him, meet him, befriend and recruit him, 963 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 11: and then show him photo of a dozen senior FBI 964 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 11: agents who were suspected any of one who was suspected 965 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 11: of being the trader in the FBI giving our secrets 966 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 11: to the Russians. It turned out to be Robert Hanson, 967 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 11: but the fellow I was involved with did actually point 968 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 11: out a photo. But then the goal in the FBI 969 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 11: is not just do I know the identity, but it 970 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 11: is to find someone catch them in the active classing 971 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,839 Speaker 11: passing classified documents. And that was the goal. That's one 972 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 11: thing that made it take so long. 973 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 7: Amazing why you're doing that. You're starting to get a 974 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 7: beat on the subject and you run into some pretty 975 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 7: serious well what we say interference. 976 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 4: Tell us what. 977 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 11: Happened in the case itself trying to find him and 978 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 11: meet him, or later on in publishing the book, Well, for. 979 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 7: I want to get to the later publishers book. But first, 980 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 7: as you were trying to solve the case. The brass 981 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 7: got cold fee, didn't they. 982 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 11: Yeah, it was difficult. In ninety eight, I had been 983 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,400 Speaker 11: in San Diego for eight years. I had been previously 984 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 11: in the Washington Field Office for eighteen years, so I 985 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 11: did a lot of counter intelligence work against Russians and 986 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 11: all the Eastern Bloc countries, and I'd recruited individuals. So 987 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 11: when it was learned that there was a trader in 988 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 11: the FBI, the question is who they would spend send 989 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 11: to go to try to recruit a Russian who could 990 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,879 Speaker 11: identify him, because everybody in the FBI at that point 991 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,879 Speaker 11: was a suspect, including me. But as it turns out, 992 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 11: because I arrived in San Diego nineteen ninety and the 993 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 11: trader was active in ninety two to ninety three, I 994 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 11: wasn't the bad guy. So three agents flew out there 995 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 11: literally under cover of darkness on a Tuesday afternoon, telling me, 996 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 11: don't tell anyone else in the Field office, not in 997 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 11: your wife, no one at all, what we're doing. That 998 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 11: we're here at all, and we want you to go 999 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 11: to the film festival and read this man and try 1000 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 11: to recruit him. And when a Soviet official is assigned 1001 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 11: to DC in the embassy for four years, it's almost 1002 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 11: impossible to recruit them. But so I asked how long 1003 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 11: I had this? And the festival was eight days long, 1004 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 11: so this stetu of eight days. So Tom Cruise had 1005 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 11: his mission of possible movies, but his missions were jumping 1006 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 11: out of airplanes and scaling buildings, but they were physical obscles. I, however, 1007 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 11: had a psychological obstacle. The Soviets believe there were two superpowers, 1008 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 11: that they were the member of the best superpowers, so 1009 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 11: why would that guy want to talk to me? So 1010 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 11: it took all of the profiling. I attribute part of 1011 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,360 Speaker 11: this to my old friend John Douglas, who did profiling 1012 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 11: in the criminal field with serial murderers and the like. 1013 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 11: And we also use the same kind of profiling, kindter intelligence, 1014 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 11: but ours was all classified, so it wouldn't have made 1015 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,239 Speaker 11: it into the public sphere. But it was the same way. 1016 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 11: What would it take to have the man agree to 1017 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,760 Speaker 11: talk to someone from the FBI, And that therein lies 1018 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 11: the big difficulty we had to surmount, But it worked 1019 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 11: out well in the end. 1020 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 9: Wayne, very quickly, we've just got about thirty seconds left 1021 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 9: talk to us about the pushback that you've gotten in 1022 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 9: actually getting this book out. 1023 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1024 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 11: Well, to have any kind of a book published, whether 1025 00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 11: it's poetry or fly fishing in West Virginia, you have 1026 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 11: to say through the pre publication review unit in Washington. 1027 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 11: And they had never had a book submitted to them 1028 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 11: which was a non fiction counterintelligence book. And I was 1029 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 11: the first one who did that. If you want to 1030 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 11: write about one big drug case you're having destroyed, or 1031 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 11: kidnapping in Tampa, you know have ad it. But this 1032 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 11: was all what they consider sources and methods. And it 1033 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 11: took me seven years. I sent it to them at 1034 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 11: three so in twenty sixteen they have forty to five 1035 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 11: days to review a book. Three years later it came 1036 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 11: back to me completely redacted. I flew to Washington three 1037 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 11: times to argue out and finally, after a full seven years, 1038 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:39,759 Speaker 11: they released it. 1039 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 9: We are so glad. I'm so sorry, we're up against 1040 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 9: the heartbreak. We are so glad that it's out. Everybody, 1041 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,240 Speaker 9: go get it. A Trader in the FBI by Wayne 1042 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 9: Barnes is out officially April seventh, a week from today, 1043 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,319 Speaker 9: but you can pre order it now, so go do 1044 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,720 Speaker 9: that again.
