1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is brought to you by 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Cozy Earth. 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 2: Comfort, style and quality. You can count on Cozy Earth. 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 3: Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts. 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: Now, I'll start from the defense of national security side, 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 2: and I think there's particular interest in this stuff, especially 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: after Trump talked about the discombobulator I think he called it, 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: which was used in Venezuela. My guess is that that's 9 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 2: not the technical term for it, but Trump mentioned something 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 2: about this publicly, which is unusual for a weapons system 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: that people are not familiar with. But now the Venezuelans 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 2: are familiar with it, so guess what people are going 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: to figure this out. But the truth is, the wars 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: of the future and just the national security needs of 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: the United States going into the future are going to 16 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: be increasingly reliant upon two things that intersect very power, 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: really two things that are complementary technology and manufacturing. And 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: you have to be able to make the most advanced stuff, 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 2: but you're gonna have to be able to make it 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: at scale and quickly, because when you're talking about drones 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 2: and AI and hypersonics, and just go through the list 22 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: of all these things that are either in use and iterating, 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: coming up with new versions of right now or just 24 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: over the horizon, and going to become much more a 25 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: part of what we see in the national security sphere. 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: You have to be nimble, you have to be fast, 27 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: and this is what Clay this speech yesterday, that Secretary 28 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: of War, Heaxeth. It was great to see him. We 29 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: got to catch up a little bit. I mean he 30 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: was busy with like the second richest man in the 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: world and taking around a bunch of very senior military folks. 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: But we talked a little bit and I was glad 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: to meet his staff and see how they're doing this 34 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: Arsenal of Freedom tour, which is what it was, the 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: arsenal free to them, and they're going around to a 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: lot of the biggest not just there's the defense primes, Boeing, Lockheed. 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: I mean, these are the companies that you think of 38 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: when you think of the military industrial complex. They've consolidated 39 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: and this has happened really again, I'm not an expert 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: on all this, but last forty years or so it's 41 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: been there's been a huge consolidation of this stuff. And 42 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: now there's these companies, there's these upstarts, these startups. I 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: guess maybe both upstarts and startups like Andrel based out 44 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: of California, Palmer Lucky's outfit, and others that are making 45 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 2: really incredible defense tech and Clay. Before I get into 46 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: the space side, I'm going to just say this is 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: one of the one of the incredible things that Trump 48 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: and the whole MAGA movement has accomplished that I think 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: people don't have enough appreciation of a decade or so ago. Oh, 50 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: Google and its employees and from the top down refused 51 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: refuse to do anything that could even have military use 52 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: or you know, any military projects whatsoever with the Pentagon, 53 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: and that was considered just oh okay, it's a it's 54 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: it's a private company. They can do what they want. 55 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: You know. It's like when they said build their own Internet, 56 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: you know, do it, do it our do it our way. Clay, 57 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: that is a massive First of all, it's borderline, in 58 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: my opinion, borderline traitorous. Uh. And it that was the 59 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: culture though in Silicon Valley, our tech leading edge was 60 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: unwilling to work to defend America against the threats of 61 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: China and Russia and global terrorism and on all these 62 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: other things. And they were they were fine with that. 63 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: That's changed now and I think it's one of the 64 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: biggest wins that the Trump administration has has racked up 65 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: on the national security side. And Secretary of Hexaths work 66 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: to change the procurement timeline because it's become a joke. 67 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: They're saying, yeah, we're gonna build something fifteen years out 68 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: and it's gonna cost ten times as much as we 69 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: say it is when all's said and done, and by 70 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: the time we get it, you're not even gonna need 71 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: it because there's gonna be some other technology. You can't 72 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: have this and a world of drone swarms and hypersonics 73 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: and increasingly low Earth orbit activity that deals with all 74 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: whole range of military threats. There's so much going on, Clay, 75 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 2: and we can get into the space piece too, But 76 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 2: this is a transformation of the way that the United 77 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: States top companies now work with in areas. And I'm 78 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: saying to work with them on everything, but there's crossover 79 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: and they're willing to work with our defense contractors. I mean, 80 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: in my opinion, no American should be willing to buy 81 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: or do business with an American company that will not 82 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: help the United States military with technology will not help 83 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 2: the United States military defend us because these Google without 84 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: the US military providing it, they'd all be speaking Chinese, everybody. 85 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like Google only exists because 86 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: the United States provides this marketplace. Yes, but this agis 87 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: of protection. And you're gonna turn your nose up at 88 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: working with working with these these companies. But remember Pentagon's 89 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: paying for this stuff. The Pentagon. It's not that they 90 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: have to do whatever the Pedagon says. It's just the 91 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: Pedagon will say, hey, we want to buy this from 92 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: you know, we don't want to work with you on that. 93 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: Hey we want to co develop us with you? No, 94 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,559 Speaker 2: you know. And this was Google and and all these 95 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: top companies out of Silicon Google is the main one, 96 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: but all these top companies at a Silicon Valley been 97 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: shameful what they got away with. Palmer Lucky of Androl 98 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: has spoken about this consistently and and it's amazing. And 99 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: because he comes out of that community, this guy who 100 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: founded Oculus, now he's the founder of Androl. He's a 101 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: self made multi billionaire. He's found it really two unicorn companies, 102 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: which is he's like a double unicorn. It's pretty amazing. Clay. 103 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: The whole paradigm has changed now where, and it's important 104 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 2: because if China has better AI, better tech, better you know, 105 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: better drones and manufacturing capacity for them as well, they 106 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 2: can put If they can make you know, one hundred 107 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: UAVs of the absolute top range that can be used 108 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 2: in offensive warfare, for every ten that we can make, 109 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: we can't beat them. That's what people have to understand. 110 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Yeah, we have the best soldiers in 111 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: the world. Well, if they can just out manufacture us 112 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 2: are the bravery of our soldiers is not going to 113 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 2: be enough in a tech in a fight that's increasingly 114 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: tech based. 115 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: History teaches us that war is often one of the 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: great evolutions of technology. And you go back in time 117 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: Civil War, for instance, railroads change the way that the 118 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: war was bought. The war was fought under the concept 119 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: of celerity, but troops being able to hop on a 120 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: railroad line and be able to get to a different 121 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: area much faster. I was reading actually this morning as 122 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: I was getting ready for our showbuck we just rolled 123 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: off what many people believe will be the last tank. 124 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: And if you think about the history of warfare, certainly 125 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: World War II to a large extent, it was airfare, right, 126 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: air combat, air superiority, and then tanks and their ability 127 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: to run roughshod over trench warfare and change the dynamic there. 128 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: The Ukraine Russia war has basically turned into a drone battle, 129 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: and the question is who can build the most drones 130 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: and advanced drone technology the fastest is dictating success on 131 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: the battlefield. And they say basically, even attacks by and 132 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: large with soldiers are becoming virtually impossible because drones are 133 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: so skilled and adept at being able to kill people 134 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: as soon as they leave protective areas. And so we are, 135 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: I think, evolving in the same way that AI is 136 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: iterating at a speed that, frankly, we've never seen before 137 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: in the history of humanity. We are right now in 138 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: a technological inflection point where the manufacture of drones would 139 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: likely dictate who would win World War three. 140 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: And who knows what comes next? 141 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: Buck, It may be robot warfare, right, I mean, when 142 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: you look at Elon building all these optimist robots, it 143 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: may be the case that the next war we fight 144 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: is basically humans sitting around with joysticks trying to align 145 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: robot battlefields and drones and everything else. The technology is 146 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: just evolving so rapidly, and the manufacturing capacity is so key. 147 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: It's one reason why we're exploding. Exploding is the wrong 148 00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: word expanding our overall budget for the military because this 149 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: is expensive and we need the wheels and power of 150 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: private industry to be able to win the future battles 151 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: of combat. 152 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: The other part of this that was really interesting. So 153 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 2: there's that there's that defense and manufacturing piece, and that's 154 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 2: why the Arsenal Freedom Tour that Secretary of War is 155 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 2: going on is really showing everybody that you know, this 156 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 2: is now America is now a place where just like 157 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: in World War Two, and they really even borrow I 158 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 2: mean I have some photos of this. They borrow from 159 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: some of the imagery from posters of World War Two 160 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: for this current Arsenal Freedom Tour. Because if you were 161 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: an automobile manufacturer in World War Two and you had 162 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: to start making plane parts or tanks or whatever, there 163 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: was just no question that's what that's what's gonna happen. Right, 164 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: this is the reality of the world they were living in, 165 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: and that that needs to be the reality today. But 166 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: for high tech companies in particular, and tech that can 167 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 2: be manufactured can be manufactured at scale, which means quickly, 168 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: efficiently at a reasonable price. It's changing the whole militar 169 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: terry industrial complex situation right now, the whole that whole 170 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: apparatus is in the process of being shifted. Now. It's huge, 171 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: it's unwieldy. A lot of people, I think who work 172 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: in the Pentagon who listened to us, are going to say, yeah, right, 173 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: good luck with that. Well, that's the mission, and they're 174 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: all on that mission, and we'll see how they do. 175 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: You know, they were telling us a few years ago 176 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: nobody could ever secure the border, and now that's an afterthought. 177 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: Of course you can secure the border. We can't make 178 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: stuff faster that the America we live in, where I 179 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: can sit here and have basically whatever I want delivered 180 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: to me with the with the push of a button 181 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 2: in my home, maybe within a few hours, certainly within 182 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: twenty four hours. We can't make drones faster or better 183 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: than we currently are with the big defense primes. No way, 184 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 2: there's no way that that's reality. Okay. And then on 185 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: the space side of this, Clay and I know some 186 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: people are really into space. Overall, we are absolutely in 187 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: a rebirth and a renaissance of space exploration and it's 188 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: and it's real, and here's why it's commercialized now. And 189 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: Elon deserves tremendous credit for this. There's there are two 190 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: companies that are driving this whole thing, and it's SpaceX 191 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: and Blue Origin and what they are doing. I mean, 192 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 2: Elon speaks about this in a way that I think 193 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: is particularly visionary. Blue Origin and I was there yesterday. 194 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: I heard Bezos speak about this. Blue Origin knows that 195 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: it has to go a lot faster, knows that it 196 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: has to get a lot more launches going. You know, 197 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: they they've been a little they've been a little slow, 198 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: and it's kind of like private It feels a little 199 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: bit more like private sector NASA to me. You know, 200 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: SpaceX is a whole other thing. Blue Origin is like, 201 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: we're going to build rockets so we don't have to 202 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: buy them from Russia. Hey, that's great. And Jeff Bezos 203 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: is one of the most incredible entrepreneurs and you know 204 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: company minds or company managers in history. Elon is like, 205 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: we're gonna build death stars and go to Mars. Like 206 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: it's a whole other category. And now you're talking about 207 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: the possibility of low Earth orbit data centers, and this 208 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: is particularly useful for AI, but we might start having 209 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: instead of building these massive data centers that have to 210 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: require all this cooling, you don't need a lot of 211 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 2: cooling in space. You have all this stuff. We might 212 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: be able to start building them in low Earth orbit. 213 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: The infrastructure for space and space exploration and utilization and 214 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 2: getting us to other planets and everything is actually being 215 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: built right now. It is real. It is happening, and 216 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: it's a pretty amazing moment in the history of our species. 217 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: I will say, Clay, it's it's it's the real deal. 218 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 2: When you start looking at the progression here, how fast 219 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: they're going, how many more rockets they're going to be 220 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: able to make, how much better the rockets are, the 221 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: increase in the just even the kind of carbon fiber 222 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: that can be used in these things today, the you 223 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: know in the Apollo missions back and that they could 224 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: have imagined some of the rocketry stuff has just been repurposed. 225 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: And it's the same. A lot of the principles are 226 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: the same, but some of the technological advances make stuff 227 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: so much more feasible now. So I was nerding out 228 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: with it yesterday. It was really interesting. Uh and and 229 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: it's real and there's a whole lot of stuff going on. 230 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: I met the NASA administrator, great guy, by the way, 231 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: we might be having him on the show soon. Play 232 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: we're getting people back on the moon, but we're doing 233 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 2: a whole lot more than that too. 234 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 1: What I would also add to all that and it 235 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: sounds like an awesome way to spend the day. Yesterday, 236 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: news officially came out that SpaceX X, AI and Twitter 237 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: slash x are all now one company. So it's not 238 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: only that things are evolving rapidly, it's that AI is 239 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: creating a world where satellites, social media, the evolution and 240 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: rapidity of AI, and all of these things are being 241 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: coalesced together. So I think, to me, there's a little 242 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: bit of an analogy where we do this radio show 243 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: and when Rush did this radio show in the nineteen 244 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: eighties and the nineteen nineties, there was only one way 245 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: for you basically to get this show. You had to 246 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: be listening live on a rap channel. Maybe you could 247 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: bring out the old cassette tape for those of you 248 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: remember doing mixtapes back in the day. On Monday, this 249 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: show will go on satellite radio. We just had our 250 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: best month of growth we've ever had on YouTube for 251 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: this show, and we're on every social media platform. But 252 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: I think increasingly media is just becoming one thing. There's 253 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: no difference between the television and YouTube and everything else. 254 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: Media is just one colossus. I think a lot of 255 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: these businesses. When you look at SpaceX, when you look 256 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: at the ability to provide Internet from space, when you 257 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: look at XAI, when you look at Twitter, when you 258 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: look at all these companies SpaceX, They're all one thing. 259 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: And I think we're rapidly evolving towards everything synthesizing together. 260 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: And that might sound complicated, but I think it's occurring 261 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: at a rapid speed, the likes of which we've never 262 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: seen before. So buckle up, because we're accelerating at a 263 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: level that I'm not sure technology has ever occurred. They 264 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: are both exciting things about that and terrifying things frankly 265 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: about that as well. 266 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 3: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 267 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: The capture of a Benghazi terrorist, Right we all remember 268 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: back in twenty twelve the Benghazi attack on the consulate 269 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: and the annex in Benghazi, Libya. Here is Attorney General 270 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: Pambondi announcing that Zubayr al Bakush is now in custody. 271 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: We did not forgive, We did not forget, we did 272 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: not relent. This is called one play it. 273 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 4: We have never forgotten those heroes, and we have never 274 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 4: stopped seeking justice for that crime against our nation. In fact, 275 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 4: from day one, Kash and Dan would sit in meetings 276 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 4: and say we're going to get them, and they did to. 277 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 4: I'm proud to announce that the FBI has arrested one 278 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 4: of the key participants behind the Bengazi attack. Zubar Albakosh, 279 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 4: landed at Andrews Air Force Base at three am this morning. 280 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 4: He is in our custody. He was greeted by Director 281 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 4: Patel and US Attorney Janine Piro. 282 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: So here we have, over a decade later, one of 283 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: the senior terrorists involved in that attack. And remember the controversy, 284 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: the political dust up that all of this created. There 285 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: were a number of things. One of course was that 286 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: there was a complete lack of honesty from the Obama 287 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: administration about what had happened. They arrested a guy who 288 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: made a video somewhere that insulted the prophet Muhammad, and 289 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: that that was somehow supposed to be responsible for this attack. 290 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: I think Thirteen Hours, by the way, is a tremendously 291 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 2: underrated movie. And I can tell you as somebody who 292 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: knows a thing or two about the Annex and the 293 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: Agency and all of that, Thirteen Hours is a very 294 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 2: well done, very accurate movie. So I feel like, I'm 295 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: sure a lot of you have seen this, but I 296 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: didn't do that well in theaters, which was disappointing. It 297 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: should have done better. Maybe it's done better on DVD 298 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: play and all that afterwards. But thirteen Hours, I thought 299 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: was an excellent view into what it's like to be 300 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 2: particularly GRS officers, who were the paramilitary kind of defenders 301 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: of facilities and personnel for the Agency abroad during the 302 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: War on Terror. GRS was a big part of the 303 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: g WATT. In fact, I write about GRS a bit 304 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: and my time with them in my book Manufacturing Delusion, 305 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 2: which I've never talked about this before. I've never talked 306 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 2: about the GRS teams that took me out in Iraq 307 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: and Afghanistan. And some of you would say, well, but 308 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: you were an analyst, and don't analysts just sit at Langley. Oh, 309 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 2: there's a lot of sitting at Langley eating donuts and 310 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 2: drinking lattes. Don't get me wrong, but I wanted to 311 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: try to do more. So wherever I showed up abroad 312 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: in the war zones, I said, how can I be useful? 313 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: I'll go with whomever wherever, let's roll. And so, yes, 314 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 2: I did do GRS movements off base. Yes I did 315 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: have to get all kitted out and have these guys 316 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: with me. So I decide, yes, I did have the 317 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 2: conversation with them that I move behind them and if 318 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 2: they both get taken out of the fight, then it's 319 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: my job to radio in and get into the fight. 320 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: When all of that was real, and I look back 321 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 2: now and I look like a college kid, because I 322 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 2: basically was. I was in my early twenties doing this 323 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 2: stuff running around the war zones. But yeah, I was 324 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: with the GRS guys. I did get outside the wire. 325 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 2: I did do movements with them, and I am very 326 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 2: grateful to them. They were They were badasses, truly they were. 327 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: They were a great bunch overall. I really liked and 328 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 2: now some of them I know in later life in media, 329 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: so you know, if we've crossed paths later on. Anyway, 330 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 2: that whole Benghazi situation came to well, there was the 331 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: incident itself, and that there was a complete lack of 332 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: any assistance given Hillary Clinton. The whole thing was there there, 333 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: Their whole thing was a disaster. They were not prepared. 334 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: There were all kinds of political considerations. It should have 335 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: cost well, certainly Hillary Clinton her job, and it should 336 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: have cost Barack Obama re election. But remember Candy Crowley 337 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: in the debate. Remember Barack Obama did say it was 338 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: an act of terror. No, not really. Actually, Mitt Romney, 339 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: I know right now, Mitt Romney we think of in 340 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 2: a very different context. He's like, well, I think Black 341 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: Lives matter, and you know he's marching with them. Okay, 342 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 2: we lost Mitt. Mitt went over to you know, Mitt 343 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 2: went over to Mordor. We lost them. But in twenty twelve, 344 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: he was the best we had. Okay, he was our candidate, 345 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 2: and he actually did a great job against Obama. The 346 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: completely destroyed Obama in the first debate, which all the 347 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: Obama fans out there, Obama's so brilliant, go back and 348 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: watch it. Don't take my word for it. You only 349 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 2: have to watch ten minutes of it. I mean, Obama 350 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: was a no show. And Mitt does his homework, good 351 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: on his feet, square jaw, handsome, you know now, all 352 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 2: that stuff. So he did a good job. And then 353 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: in that second debate when it was focused on national securities, 354 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 2: when CNNX Candy Crowley threw her considerable weight in front 355 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: of Barack Obama to defend him from the accusation that 356 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 2: they had downplayed that this was an act of terror 357 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 2: all the anniversary of nine to eleven, of course, that 358 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: the Hillary Clinton State Department was completely ill prepared for 359 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: and lied to the American people about, and it just 360 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: was on national security. Barack Obama, it's amazing. He got 361 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 2: one thing right, which was the bin Laden raid, and 362 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 2: everything else was a disaster. But because of the bin 363 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: Laden raid, because of the CIA and Seal Team six, 364 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 2: Barack got the credit and everybody generally forgets about the 365 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: rest of the record, which was abysmal. And it really 366 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 2: matters because Joe Biden was the guy. He was their 367 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: foreign think about that. Joe Biden was Barack Obama's foreign 368 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: policy brain. Eight years of nothing but America in retreat, 369 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 2: eight years of disaster. Trump comes in, turns that around, 370 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 2: puts America back on its front foot, and then of course, 371 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 2: as we know, Biden twenty twenty and now we're back 372 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: after four years of Biden retreat, most notably the disaster 373 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: in Afghanistan. But you know this, this is all, this 374 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: is all tied in together what happened in Benghazi over 375 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 2: a decade ago, and that now we still have the 376 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: Trump administration trying to get justice for what happened. Remember, 377 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 2: we lost people that day, We lost four killed, and 378 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: they burned down, you know, a US facility to try 379 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 2: to burn down another one, the annex. Thankfully GRS was 380 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: there and they were unable to do so. And I 381 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: just have to say the difference in both the approach 382 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: to foreign policy, but really most importantly in some ways 383 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 2: the sense that people in the world of Trump and 384 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: the MAGA Republican America First Party take the notion of 385 00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: America's reputation and American pride seriously and we will hunt 386 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: down anyone who kills Americans, and that that is something 387 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: that is really meaningful, you know. And you could say, oh, well, 388 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: Barack with the bin laden red. Yeah, but like I said, 389 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: there was that. Everything else was appeasement, everything else was 390 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: Iran deal, everything else was disaster. Disaster in Libya, disaster 391 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: in Syria, disaster in Iraq, the rise of ISIS. It 392 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: couldn't have been, couldn't have been more of a mess. 393 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: And so as we are in or entering this the 394 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 2: latter part soon, I guess we're still in the first half, 395 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: but we're we're, you know, moving along. In Trump two 396 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: point zero, it's worth noting that Trump and his team 397 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: take this stuff seriously. Ag Bondi, Attorney General Bondi, this 398 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 2: is cut two. She pointed out. Hillary Clinton. Remember that 399 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: it was Ron Johnson who asked her the question, thank 400 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: you team for reminding me, to which he responded, what 401 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: difference does it make? Makes a big difference's Pambondi played two. 402 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton famously once said about Benghazi, what difference at 403 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 4: this point doesn't make Well, it makes a difference to 404 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, it makes a difference to those families, and 405 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 4: fourteen years later, it makes a difference to law enforcement 406 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 4: who made the difference in this case. Thank you, President 407 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 4: Trump for supporting all of our agencies around the country 408 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 4: and around the world. Abakoush will now face American justice 409 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 4: on American soil. We will prosecute this alleged terrorist to 410 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 4: the fullest extent of the law. He'll face charges related 411 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 4: to murder terrorism Arson, among others. 412 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: It matters to the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Deshaun Smith, 413 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: the Tyrone Woods, the Glenn Doherty, matters to all of them, 414 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 2: and it matters to the American people because if a 415 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 2: bunch of savages murder our people in a foreign land, 416 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 2: it is absolutely our obligation, our duty, using the full 417 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 2: mind and force of America to hunt them down and 418 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: bring them to justice. And this sends a message, a 419 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: message has certainly been received here by the other side. 420 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 5: I'm extremely thankful to the CIA and Director Ratcliffe and 421 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 5: our other law enforcement partners for making sure that the 422 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 5: world knows that if you kill an American citizen in 423 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 5: an act of terrorism, we will hunt you down, we 424 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 5: will bring you to justice, and you will face justice 425 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 5: here in America, not in another court, and not in 426 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 5: any other proceeding around the world, but here. 427 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 3: You killed our own. 428 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 5: So we are going to take it to the streets 429 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 5: to make sure you are held accountable. Once again, I'd 430 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 5: really like to thank the entirety of the FBI Headquarters divisions. 431 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 5: There are so many moving pieces to actually execute a 432 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 5: foreign transfer of custody, and now we're talking about the seventh, 433 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: the third in just a couple of weeks, and I 434 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 5: don't know if that has ever happened before in US history. 435 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: Man Cash Bettel doing a great job as FBI Director 436 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: on this and so many other issues of public safety 437 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: of getting the bad guys. Look, I know that there 438 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: and we've talked about some of the some of the 439 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: problems with the rollout of the transparency here aunt Epstein, 440 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 2: We've talked about it, We've addressed it, and the administration's 441 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: tried to address it. But let's also give credit where 442 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: due when it comes to finding terrorsts, when it comes 443 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: to finding murders, when it comes to going after dangerous 444 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: gang members who were illegals. This FBI has been just 445 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: on it, has been on it, and I think they 446 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 2: deserve a lot of credit for that. It's also reminding 447 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 2: me of the old days when I was working in 448 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: the Intelligence Division of the NYPD, which I write about 449 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 2: in Manufacturing Delusion.

Time 472 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 6: will not stop us from going after these predators, no 473 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 6: matter how long it takes. In order to fulfill our 474 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 6: obligation to those families who suffered horrific pain at the 475 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 6: hands of these violent terrorists. And now I again want 476 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 6: to tell everyone that American justice is here, that President 477 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 6: Trump will make sure that the cavalry comes for Americans 478 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 6: no matter where they are in this world. 479 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: Two things I just want to say about this before 480 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 2: we switch out the topics that we were talking there 481 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 2: about the capture of Benghazi terrorist Zubayr al Bakhush. Going 482 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: all the way back to twenty twelve Benghazi attack, this 483 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: administration has tracked this guy down and he is now 484 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: in custody on US soil, and he is going to 485 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 2: spend the rest of his life in a cell, pending, 486 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: of course, our judicial process, which we still give even 487 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: the worst vile terrorists because we are America. Well, I mean, 488 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 2: sometimes we just have to blow them up, but if 489 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: we capture them, we give them process. So this is 490 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: a good day for that. And I know that a 491 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: lot of people, you know, they'll never be real justice 492 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: for what happened that day in Benghazi, because first of all, 493 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 2: we lost four good Americans, and then there's also the 494 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: political injustice of what happened where the Obama administration and 495 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: most notably Hillary Clinton, were derelict in their duty and 496 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: lied about it, and unfortunately, because Obama won reelection, got 497 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 2: away with it, meaning they didn't even pay the political 498 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: consequences of being so incompetent and so derelict in their duty. 499 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: So at least we're still tracking down the bad guys. 500 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 2: And I think there's more, there's more to come on 501 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: this one. I would not want to be I'll tell 502 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: you this much. Think of the difference if you are 503 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: a I'll Haida, isis any of these entities?
