1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: What does Jeff Bezos, Lynn Manuel, Miranda jay Leno and

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump all have in common? Actually, one very interesting thing,

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: the likes of which nobody is talking about, and maybe

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: they should. My name is Joe Bob. Welcome to the show.

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: Obviously you've heard by now mcduro has been captured. He's

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: been brought to the United States of America. He is

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: in New York. Him and his wife made their first

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: court appearance today. They pled not guilty to drug trafficking laws.

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Not a narco terrorist. Now you may be wondering what

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: does Jeff Bezos, Lin Manuel, Miranda jay Leno all have

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: in common with Donald Trump? Well, they all worked at

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: McDonald's at one point. However, none of those people former

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: McDonald's employees, accomplished what I believe is the most impressive

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: accomplishment of any former McDonald's employee, that is, capturing Aco

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: terrorist who also happens to be the sitting president of

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: a foreid guntry Nicholas Muduro again brought to the United

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: States on drug charges from Venezuela. I gotta remind you

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: at tposa dot com is the email if you'd like

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: send along any of your thoughts comments, concerns, even criticisms.

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have a lot of

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: different thoughts, and we're going to talk about a lot

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: of different components of this. Maduro is going to take

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: up a good section of the show today, rightfully so,

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: but don't worry, we'll also talk about tamp on tim

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: no longer running. I do think I know why that

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: is the case, and it's not the reason that everybody

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: else is talking about. Also, Mam Danny got sworn in

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: as the New York City mayor. If you have any

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: of thoughts on any of those topics, anything we talk

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: about here today or what we should be talking about,

31

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: don't have enough time to talk about all of the

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: things that we need to talk about on this show.

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Go to the online social media platforms you able to

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: find it there. Nicholas Maduro, former President of Venezuela, which

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I believe I'm pronouncing that correctly has been captured in

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: what I think is one of the most impressive things,

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: like I said, as a former McDonald employee, was able

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: to pull off, but outside of the McDonald's joke, one

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: of the most impressive things I think the United States

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: and this president has been able to pull off. Eighty

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: eight minutes, the US was on the ground in Venezuela

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: and peacefully captured, well peacefully. The Nicholas Maduro being captured

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: didn't go so well for a lot of his security,

49
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: but peacefully in my opinion, regarding the fact that no

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: American was killed. Yes, there were some injuries, but overall,

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: the United States pulled off an incredible mission into Venezuela

52
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: and brought the narco terrorists, who also happens to be

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: the president of Venezuela to a core in New York City,

54
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: which ironically is Mam Danny's area, and Mam Danny is

55
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: not a fan of Maduro being brought in here. But

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: the different topic. We'll talk about all of that in

57
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: just a little bit. The thing that I want to

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: talk about first, and I think this kind of sets

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: the stage for all of this. The thirty thousand foot

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: view here is the idea of America First. We've been

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: talking about America first constantly since Trump came on the scene.

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: That is one of his big campaign pushes. We need

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: to be America first. Now, there are a bunch of people,

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: especially on our side of the aisle, they're not big

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: fans of this because this is not America First. Well,

66
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: let me tell you what America first means in the

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: context of Donald Trump. I get there are a bunch

68
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: of people to the right, on the right that say, well,

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: America first means isolationists. We need to retreat into ourselves,

70
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: we need to worry about what's going on in the

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: United States, and I can be sympathetic towards that. However,

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump means. President Trump means when he says

73
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: America first is that the interests of America come first. Now,

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: sometimes that means going and doing things around the world

75
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: that are in the interest of the American people. It

76
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: doesn't entirely mean be totally isolationist. It doesn't entirely mean

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: that we can't go do things that are going to

78
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: protect our homeland that may be outside of the geographical

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: homeland of the United States of America. America first, what

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump means when he says that, is that the

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: American people and their interests will come first. And I believe,

82
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: and I know many of you believe as well, that

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: is the case. In this Venezuela incident, let's call it

84
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Venezuela is in our hemisphere. There's been lots of talk

85
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: about Monroe doctor, and there's been lots of talk about

86
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the Chinese coming into Venezuela, the Russians coming into Venezuela,

87
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: our adversaries around the world coming into Venezuela, trying to

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: use Maduro as a pond in this broader war. I

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: believe we don't have to agree it necessarily TBTATPUSA dot

90
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: comfe you want to send along your emails or leave

91
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: a comment wherever it is that you're watching this. I

92
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: happen to believe that America First means making sure that

93
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: foreign adversaries all around the world don't get a foothold

94
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: in a very very close proximity country to the United States.

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: I believe that America First and I believe Donald Trump

96
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: believes this as well. America First means, yes, we need

97
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: to take care of what's going on at home. We

98
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: need to fix crime, we need to sure up the border.

99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: We need to do what's right by Americans, and a

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: part of that is making sure that our biggest adversaries,

101
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: being China also Russia in this particular case in Venezuela,

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: do not get a foothold in a very very close

103
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: country that can be very very powerful if they get

104
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: their act together, which is what China was attempting to do.

105
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: So the broader context of this, I believe is still

106
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: America first. I believe that Donald Trump is acting in

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: the interest of the American people when he won, is

108
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: trying to protect American citizens from the drug trafficking that

109
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro is facilitating, but also not allowing the foreign

110
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: adversaries to get a foothold there. I want to play

111
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: this clip from General Dan Kine, who kind of headed

112
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: this whole thing up. I believe this is just me thinking.

113
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: I was watching all of the stuff going on throughout

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: this weekend and just going, yes, we are back, baby,

115
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: we still got it. We won two back to back

116
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: world Wars, and then our military kind of got a

117
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: little bit squishy. We started kind of promoting DEI stuff.

118
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Lloyd Austin the sec deaf previous to Secretary of war

119
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth really focused on Dee. I really wanted to

120
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: wear a bunch of masks and a face shield to

121
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: make sure he didn't get the fauci fever. Was really

122
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: really concerned about that stuff and not necessarily lethal readiness

123
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: as regards to the military. So when I was watching

124
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: all of this stuff over the weeks and I was thinking, yeah,

125
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: we can do it still, and that was reiterated by

126
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: General Dan Caine in this clip go ahead and play

127
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: what is this sought?

128
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: Six last night, on the order of the President of

129
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: the United States, and in support of a request from

130
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: the Department of Justice, as the President said, the United

131
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: States Military conducted an apprehension mission in Caracas, Venezuela to

132
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: bring to justice two indicted persons, Nicholas and Cecilia Maduro.

133
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discreete precise,

134
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: and conducted during the darkest hours of January TEWOD and

135
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: was in the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal,

136
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: an operation that frankly, only the United States Military could undertake.

137
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: That last part there is what fired me up so much.

138
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: An operation quite frankly, that only the United States could undertake.

139
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: They were on the ground there for eighty eight minutes.

140
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: In included one hundred fifty aircraft's, eight US destroyers. It

141
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: was a He talks longer in this in his speech

142
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: about what it took. It took the collaboration between the CIA,

143
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: the Army, the Navy, the military as as a whole,

144
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: just collaboration on a bunch of different teams. Several months

145
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: in the planning. We had people on the ground in

146
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: August watching Maduro's every single move. They built a replica

147
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: of his whole hideaway place so that they could practice.

148
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: They have helicopters laying down fire. Then one helicopter comes

149
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: in drops the special Forces into the scene, able to

150
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: secure the criminal, alleged criminal. I guess the United States.

151
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: That's you know, we still talk about that sort of thing,

152
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: the alleged criminal, bring him to the United States of

153
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: America to stand trial. They turned all the lights off

154
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: in Caracas, which is crazy and also somewhat worrisome, A

155
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a tangent here. But when things happened

156
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: in the United States and the electrical grid goes down, I

157
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of wonder sometimes, Okay, did that is that just

158
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: a malfunction or is that China testing things out? And

159
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: I would hope that the United States one has the

160
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: capability to do that as well, which apparently it does,

161
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: as evidenced by shutting down all the lights in Caracas.

162
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: But two is aware of that sort of thing. I

163
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: can't imagine that I'm aware of it and they are not.

164
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: And I hope that our military is doing the best

165
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: to protect us against the same.

166
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: Sort of attacks.

167
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: But there's that there there there, there was explosions going on.

168
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: It was set to cause confusion. Specifically, the CIA had

169
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: planted spies in the There was so much that went

170
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: into this that made me say, yes, we are back.

171
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: General dan Kane also said failure for one component would

172
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: have endangered the entire mission, and failure was not an option.

173
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: In other words, all of the moving pieces on this

174
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: incredibly incredibly sophisticated operation went just as planned, and that

175
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: is a good thing. Look, I get it. There are

176
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people, even even the you know, isolationist type,

177
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: who are saying this is this is bad, this is

178
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: not good. Now, it wasn't a military exercise, it was

179
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: a law enforcement exercise. And there's you know, all there.

180
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: We can go into a bunch of the different details

181
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: about that. But the broad case I'm trying to make

182
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: here is that I believe this president is acting in

183
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: the American interest with all of the different components going

184
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: around this with the Chinese delegation. The Chinese delegation was

185
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: there on the day that the US took Flicklas Maduro.

186
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: They were still in the country as he was getting

187
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: evacuated out. Isn't that great? The the the idea that

188
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: this is not in America's best interest to thwart foreign

189
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: adversaries and getting a foothold in Venezuela, I think is silly.

190
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: I can understand the I can understand the arguments. On

191
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: the other side, I get it. I think there are

192
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: people that are going to come around to knowing that, hey,

193
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: you know what, the drugs that this guy was facilitating

194
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: bringing into the United States, killing US citizens and then

195
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: opening the door to the Chinese and to the Russians

196
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: by the way, too. Venezuela as a part of all

197
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: of this planning that had to go in it from

198
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: the United States military. Venezuela has Russian S three hundred

199
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: missile systems. They have Chinese radar that's integrated with the

200
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: Russian air defenses. All of that stuff from our adversaries

201
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: is already there, and so I guess another positive note here,

202
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: We're able to beat all that too. That's why I'm

203
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: excited about this. I'm excited that the President is being

204
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: proactive with all of this stuff. I get the arguments

205
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: saying that, hey, we should be focused on what's going

206
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: on in here. We have to be able to do both.

207
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: We are the biggest, greatest country the world has ever seen.

208
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: And yes, we do have to take care of the

209
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: criminals here. We do have to prosecute all of the

210
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: people in Minnesota, for instance, and stole a billion dollar,

211
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: and we will talk about that. We took a break,

212
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: But the good news is nothing really happened over the break.

213
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: Of course, that sarcastic. A bunch of things happened over

214
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: the break that we do have to talk about and

215
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: we will. And yes, we do have to take care

216
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: of what's going on here in the United States. And

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: also we need to have the capacity to be able

218
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: to do things around the world that are in the

219
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: interest of the American people. I believe this is one

220
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: of them. Now, the political fallout of this is intense,

221
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: and also kind of hilarious. We're gonna talk about that

222
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: right after the break. A lot of the Sunday shows.

223
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: George Stephanopoulos questioning Rubio is hilarious. I'm gonna play you

224
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: some clips from that. What Kamala Harris said is also,

225
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: in fact hilarious. We're gonna read you what she tweeted.

226
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: The political fallout on the left is just so juicy

227
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: and delicious. If you have any thoughts, email the show

228
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: TPT at TPUSA dot com. Would love to hear your

229
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Is this in America first act? Or

230
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: is it, you know, reckless endangerment of the American people?

231
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: You know what do you think? Tbtat TBUSA dot com.

232
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after the break.

233
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: Don't go away.

234
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: Well, you just heard my conversation with Secretary of Rubio.

235
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: I asked him about the administration's decision not to inform

236
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: Congress ahead of this operation until President Maduro had been captured.

237
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Secretary of Rubio.

238
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: Saying this was not the kind of mission where they

239
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: could have afforded to notify Congress. There were concerns about leaks.

240
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: He made that point. President Trump made that point. Was

241
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 4: the administration justified in this case and not brief in Congress.

242
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 5: Well, there's been no evidence that the administration has presented

243
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 5: to justify the actions that were taken in terms of

244
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 5: their being an imminent threat to the health, the safety,

245
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: the well being, the national security of the American pace people.

246
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: You know, I've discovered over the break that I have

247
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: a new political ideology, a new political position, and that

248
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: political position, especially when regarding the left, is oh shut up,

249
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: just shut up, dude. Oh, there's no imminent threat. Okay. Cool.

250
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: So so drugs coming into the United States, having massive

251
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: drug deaths among Americans, that's that's that's that's that's not

252
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: an iminent threat. Maduro inviting the Chinese and the Russians

253
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: to go build installations in his country in order to

254
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: take on the United States when the Thucidian crap of

255
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: the number one superpower always goes to war with the

256
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: number two, which is China in this case, then getting

257
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: a foothold in Venezuela. Now that that's not that's not

258
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: an iminent threat. Where where where does that end? Like

259
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: if if if somebody has a weapon pointed at you,

260
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: and you say, well, we don't know specifically if that

261
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: weapon is loaded. Oh it's not an imminent threat. Look, oh,

262
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: show that is now my new political stance that I

263
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: feel like is has been promulgated by the happenings of

264
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, especially over the last couple

265
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: of weeks. And then to the point of should they

266
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: have told Congress, Oh, totally yeah. Congress would have definitely

267
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: kept this under the hat. Wouldn't have run to the

268
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: presses immediately and started leaking like the Titanic all of

269
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: the secret information Congress. We could totally trust Congress. Also,

270
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: not an act of war. There's also that it's not

271
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: you don't have to tell Congress because is not an

272
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: act of war. It's a law enforcement operation in the

273
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: same way that we would have gone to get El Chapo.

274
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: We just did it with a narco terrorist. This narco

275
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: terrorist just happened to be a dictator, So that makes

276
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: it not okay. I don't quite understand. Hakeim, oh shut

277
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: up is my new political talking point. Who else is

278
00:15:54,360 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: talking about this one? Kamala Harris, interestingly enough, is making

279
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: some ways and the person pointing out her idiocy is

280
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: none other than Eric Adams. But first let's get to

281
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: the Kamala Harris tweet Kamala Harrison, I'm I'm summarizing here. Actually, no,

282
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: these are real quotes, but not the entire thing. Is

283
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: this is you know, book length, and we don't read

284
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: the entire thing. Kamala Harris says this, Donald Trump, I'm

285
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: using my scary voice. Donald Trump's actions in Venezuela do

286
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable. Yeah, lady,

287
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: nobody was saying, oh no, well, hold on making sure

288
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: Western civilization thrives is not making the Americans more more affordable. Yeah,

289
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: nobody was arguing that. She says that Maduro is a brutal,

290
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action

291
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: was both unlawful and unwise. I can see the case

292
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: for saying, oh no, you should have notified Congress and

293
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: is an active where I can see making that case.

294
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't agree with it, but I understand it. But

295
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: to say it's unwise, okay, sorry, anything the president does

296
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: is just ill advised. We should never do anything we

297
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: should Yeah, we should just be like all the Libs

298
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: and never do anything ever, because that's what libs do.

299
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: They get in power and they don't ever do anything.

300
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: Well for the United States of America. They just make

301
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: it worse. But if there is something that they should

302
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: take action on, they just they just do nothing. Read

303
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in Ukraine, read Joe Biden in Afghanistan. Just

304
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: don't do anything unwise. She goes on Kamala Harris says,

305
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: the president is putting troops at risk, spending billions of dollars,

306
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: destabilizing a region probably more stable now, and offering no

307
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: legal authority. We'll get to that in just a second

308
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: with George Stephanopolis and Marco Rubia. No exit plan and

309
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: no benefit at home. All right, cool, So the thousands

310
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: of Americans who hopefully will not die from drug overdoses

311
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: from drugs being brought in by Maduro via the cartels

312
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: because he is a drug cartel boss. As you know,

313
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: it's no fit to the Americans. All of those people

314
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: that are now not gonna die. That's that's not a

315
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: that's not a benefit the United States of America. But

316
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: what's interestingly interesting enough about all of this is that

317
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: Eric Adams, of all people, the outgoing I guess he is,

318
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: the former mayor of New York City, decided to repost

319
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: this and then include the fact of Hey, Kamala, just

320
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: so you know, on January tenth of last year, exactly,

321
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: almost exactly a year ago, your administration, the Biden administration,

322
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: along with what was it, the Biden Harris administration, not

323
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: only said that Maduro needed to go, they offered a

324
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar bounty for anybody with information leading

325
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: to his arrest. So when Kamala Harris was the vice

326
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: president of the United States, when Joe Biden was the

327
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: President of the United States, not only did they say no, no, no,

328
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: he's illegitimate, this is bad, he's a bad guy, they

329
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: promoted other people trying to gather information that led to

330
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: his arrest. In other words, they were trying to do

331
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: the same exact thing. But they couldn't. So you can't say, Okay,

332
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: we want to arrest this guy, and by the way,

333
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: we'll give you a twenty five million dollar reward if

334
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: this guy is arrested. And then when he is arrested,

335
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: just because the guy who in power is somebody you

336
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: don't like, say no, no, he shouldn't have he shouldn't have

337
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: been arrested. It's unwise. Give me a break. Oh shut

338
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: up again. Which is my new political A new political

339
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: messaging read anything with the Libs is oh shut up.

340
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of oh shut up, I want to play this

341
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: clip from George Stephanopolos over the weekend. Uh, he pressed Ruby. Now,

342
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna Rubio had really great answers, and it's

343
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: not to I'm not trying to take his answers out.

344
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: It's mostly a time thing. I just want you to

345
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: listen to George Sephanopolis and how just a ghast he

346
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: is by what legal authority do we have to do this?

347
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: Watch this cut seven?

348
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 6: He said, the United States is going to run Venezuela

349
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 6: under what legal authority?

350
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 7: Under?

351
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, what's going to happen here is

352
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 8: that we have a quarantine on their oil.

353
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 7: That means their economy will not be able to move forward.

354
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: Let me ask the question again, what is the legal

355
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 6: authority for the United States to be running Venezuela.

356
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I love Rubio's face here. That's what we pauseitive here, Dude,

357
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: I already answered the question under what legal authority here? Okay,

358
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: this is I'm not a legal expert, I'm not a lawyer,

359
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: I'm not a politician. The legal authority is we have

360
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: bigger guns than you. That's the legal that's the authority.

361
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: That's where the authority comes from. In this particular situation.

362
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: We're better than you. We kick more ass than you.

363
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: We went into your country for eighty eight minutes shorter

364
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: than a feature length movie and took your present. That's

365
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: what authority we have. With the authority that we have

366
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: is uh, we're bigger, stronger, and more powerful. This is

367
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: the same kind of authority that I wield in my

368
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: household when my toddler comes up and says, I want

369
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: a fruit snack and I say no, and she goes

370
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: under what authority? The authorities? Because I told you so

371
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: that that's what authority I have. So yeah, George, under

372
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: what legal Oh no, the international community? What you're you're

373
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: telling me? The international legal whatever that we enforced because

374
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: we're the United States, We're bigger, better than everybody else.

375
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: We we whatever, dude, under what legal authority? I want

376
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 1: to play this other clip from Rubio because I think

377
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: this is a this is well, this is what I

378
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: this is what I'm most excited, not most excited about.

379
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: And notice we didn't pay any clip from Donald Trump.

380
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was great. We loved what the President did

381
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: over this, but I thought I thought Rubio was the

382
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: shining star of all of this, and I believe uh this.

383
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: He won't say it, but I will will be his reward.

384
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: Played this also from Stepanopolis cut eight.

385
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 6: So is the United States running Venezuela right now?

386
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: When the President was.

387
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 6: Asked yesterday who'll be running Venezuela, he said it was you.

388
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 6: He said it was the Defense secretary. He said it

389
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 6: was the chairman of the Joint chiefs of Staff. Are

390
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 6: you running Venezuela right now?

391
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: Yes, El president Rubio de Venezuela. Yeah, are you running? Yes?

392
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said as much too. He was asked, you

393
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: know who's gonna be running Venezuela, and he said, ah,

394
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: the people behind me, And there was like the president

395
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: of Venezuela, Marco Rubio, also Secretary of State, among you

396
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: know nine other jobs. Marco, just go can you can

397
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: you do all of the things, but also can you

398
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: go run this socialist hell hole over here? Get him

399
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: back on their feet. Rubio didn't say it, but he's

400
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: the guy. He's gonna be running Venezuela. Sorry, Ruby, El

401
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: Presidente de Venezuela, Presidente Marco Rubil. I'm not entirely sure

402
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: if my accents are quite on point there. But are

403
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: you running Venezuela.

404
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: Yes.

405
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: Now, one of the arguments that I think a bunch

406
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: of the Libs are making over this is, well, we

407
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done this. This is not a good this

408
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: is not a they are a sovereign nation, and we

409
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: shouldn't have invaded and won. We didn't invade, so that

410
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: is a moot point. But we shouldn't have done this

411
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: because Venezuela is just a perfect, awesome place that everybody

412
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: wants to live. Well, a couple of stats kind of

413
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: pretty easily thwart that argument. We've talked a lot about

414
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: inflation here in the United States, because inflation has been

415
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: a problem here, not nearly the crazy problem it is

416
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. Annual inflation rose between twenty nine and forty

417
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: percent in twenty thirteen, big oil crisis in twenty thirteen,

418
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: that's a couple of years after Maduro took office. In

419
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, it rose one hundred and eighty percent in

420
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, eight hundred percent. Look, we're mad at like

421
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: eight percent inflation I and legitimately so that that's a

422
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: big jump eight hundred percent allegedly over four thousand percent

423
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, somewhere in the lines of like a million. Basically,

424
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: money is useless now in Venezuela. So yeah, that is

425
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: not good going on there. Poverty thirty to thirty two

426
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: percent in twenty thirteen, search to about ninety percent by

427
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen to twenty twenty. Extreme poverty between fifty and

428
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: eighty percent. Holy cow, we shouldn't. Yeah, Venezuela is a

429
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: perfect place, says all this socials. Ye, they don't need,

430
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, their dictator to be overthrown. And again, I

431
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: understand the argument from the right of that we shouldn't

432
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: get involved. I don't necessarily have that opinion right now.

433
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: I think America first, I've already made my case. I'm

434
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: not gonna make it again. But to say that Venezuela

435
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: has got all of its buttons done up and it's you,

436
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: got its shoes tied on, it's got both paddles in

437
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: the water, it's tethered to the more of reality, that

438
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: all of that is ridiculous. That is not true. None

439
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: of that's true by any of the numbers. One third

440
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: about nine million people faced food insecurity in twenty twenty,

441
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: with about eighty to eighty two percent of households were

442
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: affected by lack of food. According to a bunch of

443
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: the different surveys, child now nutrition is unbelievable and horribly sad,

444
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: about sixteen fifteen, sixteen percent in the last five years

445
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: and upwards about twenty to forty percent in poorer areas.

446
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 3: I can go on and on.

447
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: There's so many different statistics why Venezuela is a hellhole,

448
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: an s whole country if you will, But I don't

449
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: know the case is made. Hopefully, I think pres Dente

450
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: de Venezuela, Michael Rubio will turn that ship around. I

451
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: do think there are some advantages to be gained. I

452
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: don't think it's entirely about There's so many different avenues

453
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: to poke at here. But we got a lot to

454
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: talk about. So I want to talk about walls. I

455
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: want to talk about Mam Danny. But there's the oil

456
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: things like oh, Trump went in for oil and Rubio

457
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: hit it on the head when he said, yeah, we

458
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: don't really need the oil. It's you know, we'll take it,

459
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: but we got more oil here. It's more about one

460
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: guy trafficking drugs in the country and two not having

461
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: foreign advisaries get a foothold in Venezuela. But a lot

462
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: of the different arguments being made by the Libs are

463
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: just are ridiculous on their face, but of course their

464
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: arguments being made by the Libs, so that's kind of

465
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. Anyways, I am sure we're going to

466
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: talk about this a lot over the next week, next

467
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Like I said earlier today, Maduro made

468
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: his case in a New York courthouse said we are

469
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: not guilty. You know that remains to be seen in

470
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: the process of the United States judicial system. But I

471
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: recognize that we didn't even touch on all of the

472
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: different things that we can talk There's just so many

473
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: different components to this, but I thought operationally we should

474
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: be talked about and then the immediate political will fall

475
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: out with one Kamala Harris, Keem Jefferies and then Presidente

476
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: of Venezuela Rubio. Well, we'll talk about list a lot

477
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: more as time goes on and more things unfold. But

478
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: again there's a lot to get to. So coming up,

479
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk about man Danny over there in

480
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: New York, the socialist who has taken the reins as

481
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: the Mayor of New York City TPT at TPUSA dot com.

482
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: If you got any thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms, we

483
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: are They're all welcome at TPT at TPUs a dot com.

484
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: Also leave a comment wherever it is that you're watching this.

485
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll pruise through some of those. We do our

486
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: mailbag segment in the fifth segment of the show. If

487
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: you'd like to be included, make sure your comment is disgraceful, bigoted,

488
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: just downright awful as actually a better chance of getting

489
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: read in our mailback segment TPT at TPUSA dot com.

490
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: Leave a comment. We will be right back after the break.

491
00:27:46,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: Don't go away.

492
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 9: We will draw this city closer together. We will replace

493
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 9: the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

494
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 9: If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York

495
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 9: yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it. Because

496
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 9: no matter what you eat, how you pray, or where

497
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 9: you come from.

498
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 7: Oh.

499
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: He then goes on to say, we're all two words

500
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: New Yorkers, all right, and uh, there's also what a

501
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: weird thing no matter what you eat? Okay, I don't

502
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: know why food had Maybe that's because we made fun

503
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: of him so much for eating with his hands like

504
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: a savage. Maybe that's why he said that I'm burying

505
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: the lead here. What did you say that we're going

506
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: to get rid of the fragility or frigidity of rugged individualism.

507
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: Oh you mean the thing that made America great, and

508
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: we're going to embrace the warmth of collectivism. Oh you

509
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: mean the thing that killed a hundred million people over

510
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: the last century, hundreds of millions of people. Cool, dude, great.

511
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: I hope that he is not successful in anything that

512
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: he does at any point during being mayor unless he resigns.

513
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: I hope he's successful at that. That'd be good. That'd

514
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: be good for New Yorkers, that'd be good for the country.

515
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: It is super interesting the types of people that are

516
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: rallying behind the hatred criticism. Let's say, is a nicer

517
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: word of Mam Danny a bunch of sane lips. I'm

518
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna read you an MSNBC thing. But before that, I

519
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: want to get to a couple of clips here from

520
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: Mam Danny's. Actually it's just one. It's just one other

521
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: ridiculous clip. And again, we could sit here and play

522
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: clips all day. Long of this, but I just thought

523
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: this one was the most fun. I believe this is

524
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: cut nine. This is in the audio might be a

525
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: little bit tough to hear, it can get a great one.

526
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: This is a I think a poet who's dedicating this

527
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: poem to a very special group of people. Watch this

528
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: cut nine.

529
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 7: I like to dedicate this poem to my trans queer

530
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 7: foreign students of color at the University of Tennessee knox.

531
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: A University of Tennessee Knoxville is dedicating so no, sorry, sorry,

532
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: the trans queer students of color specifically at the University

533
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: of Tennessee Knoxville. Ah, dang it. I want before we

534
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: pulled that clip away to see Eric Adams face. What

535
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: a We're no big fans of Eric Adams here, but

536
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: uh the Blasio too, build a blasi the other former

537
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: mayor sitting there. It was just like, huh, But isn't

538
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: that indicative of the types of people that Mam Daddy

539
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: is putting in place? I want to play one more clip.

540
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: This is his tenant Tzar, the Czar of Tenants in

541
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: New York City, talking about housing and the privatization of

542
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: housing and how that's such a bad and horrible thing.

543
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: This is the type of thing and we can make

544
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: fun of Man Danny as much as we want to,

545
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: but this is the type of thing that's actually scary.

546
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: TPTTP dot com is the email address lives a comment

547
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: wherever it is that you're watching this. This is the

548
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: person overseeing the rights of tenets in New York City.

549
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: I believe this is cut ten.

550
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 8: I think the reality is is that for centuries we've

551
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 8: really treated property as an individualized good and not a

552
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 8: collective good. And we are going to and transitioning to

553
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 8: treating it as a collective good and towards a model

554
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 8: of shared equity will require that we think about it differently,

555
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 8: and it will mean that families, especially white families, but

556
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 8: some pot families who are homeowners as well, are going

557
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 8: to have a different relationship to property.

558
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: That Yeah, uh, one looks pretty scary. It looks like

559
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: she's auditioning to be uh alphaba and wicked without.

560
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: The green on.

561
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: Obviously, Uh, there's no need for that. I don't know

562
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: why I decided to stoop down to that level. But

563
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, it is interesting too when you

564
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: see some of these libs, like the Kamala Harris word

565
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: salad is indicative of the fact that she doesn't believe

566
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: anything that she's saying. The equity, the inclusion of the

567
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: people that are most affected by the white surprises. All

568
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: of that stuff is nothing. This lady, unfortunately, was actually

569
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: pretty clear and cohesive in what she was saying. She

570
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: had it together, she had her thoughts together, and that's

571
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: actually what made it substantially worse. We're gonna think about

572
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: housing differently. The privatization of housing has not been good

573
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: for anybody, you know, aside from the fact that if

574
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: somebody takes personal ownership of something, they tend to make

575
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: it better, and if that gets passed on to somebody

576
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: else by the way of a sale, then it's you know,

577
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: better for everybody involved. The person who put the blood,

578
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: sweat and tears into building something gets to sell it

579
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 1: for a profit, so therefore there's a profit motive, and

580
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: they again think about things that they want to, uh,

581
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, be good for everybody, and that none of

582
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: that stuff is good. What we should do is have

583
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: people build stuff for other people who won't build stuff,

584
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: because that's what it is when it when it comes

585
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: down to it, we want you to build stuff for

586
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: other people who don't want to build stuff. So so

587
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna build this stuff and then they're gonna take

588
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: the stuff that you build because they didn't want to

589
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: build it. Great, how do you think that system is

590
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna work out? I mean, well, how it's worked out

591
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: in the past and a bunch of the other socialist

592
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: regimes is okay, Well, shoot, the people who build stuff

593
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: don't want to build the stuff for the people who

594
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: don't want to build the stuff. So there's now a

595
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: huge pile of people who don't want to build stuff.

596
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: So okay, so what do we have to do. We

597
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: have to make them build it. What's going to incentivize them?

598
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: Well, we can't use incentives because that would be capitalism and

599
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: capitalism bad. So instead we have to use disincentives, which

600
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: ends up being I don't know, violence threats. Realistically, it

601
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: ends up being, uh, well, we're gonna force you to

602
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: build stuff for the people who don't want to build stuff,

603
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: because you not wanting to build stuff for the people

604
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: who don't want to build stuff means you don't want

605
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: to build stuff, which means we're gonna have to force

606
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: you to do it, probably at the point of a gun.

607
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: So socialism in a nutshell for you. What I think

608
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: is really interesting about all of this is how many

609
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: Libs are teaming up against Mam Danny there in New

610
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: York City. This is a clip. It was an opinion piece,

Speaker 1: lit said this in an opinion piece, a guy named

616
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: Kavin Scroff. Scroff says this, Like most New Yorkers and

617
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: nearly half of those who voted, I did not cast

618
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: about for Zorn Mamdani in November. I'm a democrat. I'm

619
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: not a socialist or a democratic socialist. This guy's a

620
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: senior advisor for the Educational Political Education and political commentator,

621
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: senior advisor for the Institution of Educator. That doesn't make

622
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: any sense. I copied and paste of this from the

623
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: instagram from MSDNC, so that don't knock me on the grammar.

624
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: Here he goes on to say this, if his him

625
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: being Mamdani's ideas truly are possible to work, will all

626
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: be better for it? Of course he has to throw

627
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: that little caveat on there pushing a piece on MSNBC.

628
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: But in much of the more likely scenario, they will fail,

629
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: as many of us insist that they will. That failure

630
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: will speak for itself in the argument about democratic social

631
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: viability for years to come will finally be settled not

632
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: by a slick, media driven campaign and rhetoric, but by

633
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: the actual results or lack thereof. In other words, you've

634
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: got actual libs. This guy, I don't he says he's

635
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: a Democrat. Guys like him, Guys like Bill Maher will say, look,

636
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, if it could work, great, but it won't

637
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: because we've tried this before. Who is it? Was it

638
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: George Will saying he hopes Ma'm Danny wins because every

639
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: two decades or so the country needs to be reminded

640
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: of how bad these policies actually are. But it's not

641
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: just us, It's not just the conservative saying this. There

642
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: are libs everywhere saying, hey, this isn't gonna work. And

643
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: I think, and i'd hope they'd point to the failures

644
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: of New York City to show everybody that, yeah, maybe

645
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: let's not try this again. It's been tried, and it's

646
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: failed again and again and again. Speaking of failures, I

647
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: want to talk about Tim Walls. Tamp on Tim Walls

648
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: there in Minnesota running for governor. Oh sorry, just in today,

649
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: not running for governor anymore. I do think there is

650
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: a reason behind it that may shock you. It's not

651
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: exactly what you might think. It's not exactly what you

652
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: may have heard. It doesn't have anything to do with

653
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: the fraud. Really, it has something to do with something

654
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: else entirely why Tim Walls has suspended his campaign to

655
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: run for a third term as dictator sorry governor of Minnesota.

656
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: That coming up after the break don't go away.

657
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 10: An extraordinarily difficult year for our state, and it ended

658
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 10: on a particularly sour note. For the last several years,

659
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 10: an organized group of criminals have sought to take advantage

660
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 10: of this state's generosity. And even as we make progress

661
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 10: in the fight against the fraudsters, we now see an

662
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 10: organized group of political actors seeking to take advantage of

663
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 10: a crisis. I don't want to mention here. Donald Trump

664
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 10: and his allies in Washington and in Saint Paul and

665
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 10: online want to make our state a colder, meaner place.

666
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 10: They want to poison our people against each other by

667
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 10: attacking our neighbors, and ultimately they want to take away

668
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 10: much of what makes Minnesota the best place in the

669
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 10: country to raise a family. They've already begun trying to

670
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 10: withhold funds that were meant to help families apport childcare,

671
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 10: and they have no intention of stopping there.

672
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, nobody has any intention of stopping of giving

673
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: your stinking state billions of dollars of our money so

674
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: that you could give them to some Molly's no. Yes,

675
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: we have no intention of stopping that. So not to

676
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: bury the lead here, Governor tamp On Tim Walls, as

677
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: seen here with his head down and frustrated, is no

678
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: longer seeking re election as the dictator, sorry, Governor of Minnesota.

679
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: I keep saying dictator, because remember how he went around

680
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: with the National Guard shooting paintballs of people who were

681
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: outside of their house during COVID. That that's very much

682
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: what a dictator, very much what a Nicholas Mudua would do.

683
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: But Governor Tim was doing that, you know, way before

684
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: it was cool, I guess. But he's no longer running

685
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: for governor, and uh, you know, it's just the reason.

686
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: As he stated, is that Donald Trump and his mean people,

687
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: his mean allies, both in Washington, d c. And in Minnesota,

688
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: don't want to see rampant fried fraud, have money stolen

689
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: from the taxpayers. That's that's That's just those those mean

690
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: hearted conservatives. They want to make Minnesota mean. They want

691
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: to make it colder. I'm not sure how it's possible

692
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: to make it colder. It's already freezing there, but they

693
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: that's what they want to do. That's what the Trump

694
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: administration is seeking to do. I like how he tries

695
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: to spin this off as like, no, no, this I

696
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: I am being very attentive to the massive fraud that

697
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: happened right underneath my nose that I was warned about

698
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: several times but continued to annoy. I'm very I'm very

699
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: attentive to that. But also, how could this have happened.

700
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: It's like it's like page out of the governor knew

701
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: some book. This has happened. We need to stop this.

702
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is happening, but we need

703
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: to put an end to it. Dude, you were in

704
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: power for the last twelve years at a state level.

705
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: It's your fault. You just pretend like, oh, this is

706
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: just this befell upon us. But Tim Walls, they're trying

707
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: to play that out. I thought this was really interesting.

708
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: This is in Time magazine. I read a bunch of

709
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: the lib news outlets because I think it's fun and

710
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: interesting and I'd like to bring you the perspective that

711
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: they have, and by perspective I mean lies. This is

712
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: from Time. Walls sixty one pointed to the scandal and

713
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: the general political climate in his statement Monday morning, claiming

714
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: that political gamesmanship from Republicans is making the fight against

715
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: fraudsters harder to win. Yep, that's the problem. It's those

716
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: darn Republicans that are making fraud difficult for the Democrats

717
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: to uncover. If we would have uncovered all of this

718
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: Somali fraud, but it weren't for those pesky Republicans pointing

719
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: it out all the time. Sure to explaining his decision,

720
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: this is again from Time Not to Run, the former

721
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: teacher said that after speaking with his family over in

722
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: his team over the festive season, he came to the

723
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: realization he can't give the political campaign all that he

724
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: wants and to let others worry about the election so

725
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,479
Speaker 1: that he can focus on work. Because he has work

726
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: to do. How could this have happened to the guy

727
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: who's been governor since twenty eighteen? How could this possibly

728
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: have happened directly under his watch having been worn several

729
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: times and completely ignoring it Now. The reason that I

730
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 1: do think that Tim Wallas has decided to step aside

731
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: from his gubernatorial campaign I actually don't think is the

732
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: Somali fraud might be a hot take. What I actually

733
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: think it is, and maybe this is just wishful thinking.

734
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: What I hope it is is that we did it.

735
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: We called him retarded enough to make him cry and

736
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: quit again. I'm not entirely sure that that's possibly that's

737
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: that's that's exactly the case, but I like to think

738
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: that it is. I would like to think that me, you,

739
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: those Minnesotans that waited hours in a line on a

740
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: block around Tim Walls's house, yelling, retarded, constantly, incessantly at

741
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: his place of residence, actually moved the needle. Yeah. Sure,

742
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: the billions of dollars in fraud probably pushed him, you know,

743
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: maybe it pushed him over the edge of not wanting

744
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: to run anymore. Maybe maybe it was that, But I'd

745
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: like to think that it was our mean language against

746
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: the retarded governor of Minnesota that forced him to pull

747
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: the plug on his already losing campaign. We did it

748
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: maybe coming up. We got our mailbags, I mean, got

749
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: a lot of Maduro comments from from Facebook, specifically. If

750
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: you're not subscribed to any of the Turning Point Tonight

751
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, just type in jobob pretty much anywhere to

752
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: be able to find us all over the social media

753
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: in the Internet universe. Also TBT at tbusa dot com

754
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: if you'd like to send along your emails. What do

755
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: you think was the final straw, the the the the

756
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: straw that broke the can camel's back, the catalyst that

757
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: led Tim Walls to suspend his gubernatorial campaign. Was it

758
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: the fraud or was it, like I choose to believe,

759
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: incessantly calling him retarded? Your thoughts TPT at t pus

760
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: a dot com. We'll be right back after the break

761
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: with your mail bag. As well as a really interesting point,

762
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: very very simple question, but some discussion about the oath

763
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: of let me get the wording right here, uh, the

764
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: Oath of allegiance. But we'll get the word. We'll do

765
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: the entirety of the wording when we come back. We'll

766
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: brought back after the break, don't go away that.

767
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 11: It's it's interesting. It was almost a near death experience

768
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 11: for me, and of course not literally, but I did

769
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 11: feel a little like Tom Sawyer and Tom Finn watching

770
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 11: their own funeral. All this stuff happened, and to be

771
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 11: here and to see that people reacted to it in

772
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 11: a not just a positive way, but in almost a

773
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 11: desperate way, or like, oh boy, when they come after

774
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 11: the comedians, this is more one we draw the line,

775
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 11: and they were very grateful that they threw the line

776
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 11: at us.

777
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: So the Critics' Choice Awards were over the weekend. That

778
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Kamel also known as Kimmel, giving some press

779
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: action there. What I think is interesting about this. Now,

780
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: obviously you can be horrified and disgusted by what he

781
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: said a near death experience. Oh no, his show was

782
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: suspended because he said some unforgivable nonsense about our friend.

783
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: By the way, that was a near death experience. Yeah,

784
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: you can be mad about that. I'm mad about that.

785
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: But I think the real kind of thing here is

786
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: his attitude in the way that he cares. I think

787
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: he actually believes this, which is which is scarier. But

788
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 1: also maybe a little bit more comforting because I don't

789
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of people that actually believe

790
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. I think there are a lot of

791
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: people that are just putting on an act. How could

792
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: they be canceling the comedians? Well, one they're not nobody

793
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: is uh. If if we had that power, believe me,

794
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: we'd exercise it, because there's a lot of unfunny lib

795
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: comedians that should be canceled. But unfortunately we don't wield

796
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: the power that Jimmy Kimmel thinks we actually do. Uh,

797
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: And that is that's that's sad. But I think the

798
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: main point here is the fact that I think this

799
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: guy actually thinks that he is this emblematic figure that

800
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: represents freedom and by extension, prosperity in the now. Dude,

801
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: you were you were an unfunny guy who I honestly,

802
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: I've said this number of times. I used to love

803
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel. I liked I just liked the way that

804
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: his humor kind of pieces together. But for him to

805
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: actually think that he is kind of the breaking point

806
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: of really American society and therefore democracy, it's honestly kind

807
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: of sad, Like it'd be one thing if he was

808
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: just kind of bloviating, Oh, they're trying to can't and

809
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, increase his ratings. But by the

810
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: way he sounded, I actually think he believes it, which

811
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: in a way kind of makes me feel bad for him,

812
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: which I don't know. Maybe that's an uncharitable take on this,

813
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Good luck, dude, jeez. Let's see,

814
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: let's get some of the mail bag in here. On

815
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: the topic of Maduro, Alexanders's homeboy thought he was talking

816
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: to Biden. That's accurate, Jonathan says, you forget who you're

817
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: dealing with. Kind of in the same lines, Aurora says,

818
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: dude was in pajamas and couldn't make it to his stateroom,

819
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: state safe room. It's like a Hollywood movie come to life.

820
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: This is actually crazy. I agree, and Richard says three

821
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: hours took the US three hours to capture the leader.

822
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: I'd like to actually issue a correction, not even two hours,

823
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: not even an hour and a half. Honestly, there, like

824
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: we said, I think producer Glunn pointed out there are

825
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: feature length movies that are shorter than the arrest of

826
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro. So his flight to New York City was

827
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: probably longer than the US was in Venezuela, making sure

828
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: that extraction was was completed. Let's see, yeah, we got

829
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: time for this. I talked about the Oath of Allegiance?

830
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: Should I read this whole thing? Fon commented here, and

831
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: I thought this was actually pretty interesting, especially in the

832
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: context of the Minnesota fraud, A bunch of smallies stealing

833
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: billions of dollars from the United States taxpayer. Talking about

834
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: the Oath of allegiance, what does it take to be

835
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: a US citizen and naturalized citizens? You have to say,

836
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: obviously the Oath of Allegiance? But what does that actually say?

837
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: And the terminology is much more claire fine and also

838
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: harsh that I in a good way that I guess

839
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: I thought I knew the ocean of Oath of Allegiance

840
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: was a thing, I was not specifically aware of the

841
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: actual terminologies. Let me just read this. I hereby declare

842
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: on oath that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure

843
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: all allegiance and to fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state,

844
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been

845
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: subject or a citizen that I will support and defend

846
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: the Constitution and laws of the United States of America

847
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I we don't have

848
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: to read the entire thing that you get the point

849
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: for it, but basically it says I will renounce all

850
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: allegiance to anybody, anything, any person, any government, any state

851
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: that is not the United States of America. And the

852
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: question is, did all those Somalies in Minnesota who got

853
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: naturalized CI citizenship after being refugees from the Third World

854
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: hell hold that is Somalia really take that oath seriously?

855
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: And if not, what are the punishments for it? Probably

856
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: could be kicked out of the United States, Probably could

857
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 1: be denaturalized. Probably could be sent back to Somalia or wherever.

858
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: I don't care. Probably. I thought that was interesting to

859
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: point out fun what happened to the Oath of Allegiance. Well,

860
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: apparently it's not being as oathed as I don't know

861
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: if oath is the word we're getting late in the show.

862
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's that the Oath of Allegiance should be

863
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: a thing should be taken seriously. That is going to

864
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: do it for us here at turning point, tonight. We

865
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: appreciate you sticking around tuning in uh see Tomar, same time,

866
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: same place, God bless America.
