Yeah, there's not a word I said that 55 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 2: was false. I mean the real April Fools joke is 56 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: the hundred the other three hundred and sixty four days 57 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: a year when he refuses to do that because that 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: is the Democrat party position it is. It is astonishing. 59 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: And so today we're going to talk about We're going 60 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: to talk about radical Islamic terrorism and how the Democrats 61 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: have coddled it, how they've embraced it, how they've exposed us, 62 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: how they've endangered us, and we're going to talk about 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: it in a number of instances. We're going to talk 64 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: about it concerning Michigan and the Michigan terror attack that 65 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: we now know was inspired explicitly by Hesbola. We're going 66 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: to talk about it in New York City and Comrade 67 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: Mandami apparently believing that it is the responsibility of the 68 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: mayor of New York City to defend the Ayatola and 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: to defend the Islamist regime in Iran. And then we're 70 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: going to talk about it in terms of a radical 71 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: left wing Senate candidate in Michigan who explained just how 72 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: many Michiganders are sad, so very very sad that the Ayatola, 73 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: the same Ayatola who chanced death to America, that he's 74 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: no longer with us. And finally we're going to talk 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: about something that somehow is not an April fool's joke. 76 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: But the Washington Post this week came out and said, 77 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: especially with the war in Iran, it underscores how the 78 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Democrat's Green New Deal energy agenda is hurting America profoundly. 79 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: And that's actually not an April fool's joke.

This year, many 94 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: of God's people will observe in darkness under the shadow 95 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: of war across Israel. Red alert sirens pierced the air, 96 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: Families run to shelters with seconds to spare, elderly men 97 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: and women fear they'll be left behind, and parents are 98 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: comforting their frightened children as explosions shake the night.

We've also seen 117 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: this happen in Europe, and we are now seeing that 118 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: there are more attacks. We're seeing churches that are being 119 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: burned around the world, and we're now seeing this synagogue 120 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: attacker that attacked on behalf of Hesblah. It happened right 121 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: here in Michigan. We know a lot more now than 122 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: we did before. 123 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember when this story broke, when the man 124 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: drove his truck into the synagogue that was also a school. 125 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: There were over one hundred kids there. He was trying 126 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: to kill as many young children as he could. And 127 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: the media coverage they referred to him as Michigan Man. 128 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: It was reminiscent of Maryland Man, the guy who was 129 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: MS thirteen gangbanger and human trafficker. That was just a 130 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: Maryland man who for some reason was deported. No one 131 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: could imagine why. Well, here it was Michigan Man, and 132 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 2: then they had all this sympathetic coverage. Michigan Man was 133 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: upset that his brother had been killed in the Middle East. 134 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: What they didn't mention is his brother was a commander 135 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: for Hesbela, and so he was a terrorist. So Hesbela 136 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: terrorist in America, unhappy that a different Hesbela terrorist had 137 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: been killed, and so he tried to kill as many children, 138 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: as many Jews as possible. Here are the details the 139 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: attack earlier this month. This is from CNN on a 140 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 2: synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was a quote Hesbela inspired 141 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the 142 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: largest Jewish temple in Michigan, the FBI said a news 143 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: conference on Monday, the assailant, I'man Ghazzali, was a naturalized 144 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: US citizen from Lebanon's now put a pin in that 145 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: that we need to change our vetting for naturalized citizens. 146 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 147 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: He rammed a pickup truck into the synagogue on March 148 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: twelve as more than one hundred children were attending school inside. 149 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: After waiting in the synagogue's parking lot for more than 150 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: two hours, authority said, Gazali drove the truck far into 151 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: the building, hitting a security officer before the vehicle became 152 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: wedged in a hallway. Security officers for the synagogue began 153 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: changing gunfire with Ghazali, who eventually shot and killed himself 154 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: inside the truck. During the chaos, the truck's engine compartment 155 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: caught fire and caused extension extensive damage to the building. 156 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: The truck was filled with over two thousand dollars of 157 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 2: commercial grade fireworks and about thirty five gallons of gasoline, 158 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: which he used to enhance the explosion. No one else 159 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: was killed. One of the temple's lead security officers was 160 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: injured after being hit by the vehicle. Had he lived, 161 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: he would have been charged with providing material support to Hesbela, 162 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: the Iranian backed terrorist group in Lemanon, said Jerome Gorgon, 163 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 2: the US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Gorgan 164 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 2: added that Gazali was inspired by Hesbelon propaganda to carry 165 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: out the attack. 166 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: Quote. 167 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 2: This man acted under Hesbelah's direction and control. He intended 168 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: to kill others, not just himself. In the days after 169 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 2: the attack, US official said, Gazali was located in federal 170 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 2: government databases as having connections to quote known or suspected 171 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: terrorists associated with Hesbela. Stopped there for a second, so 172 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 2: they searched the databases. The databases showed that he had 173 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 2: connections to known or suspected terrorists. Then why the hell 174 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: was this guy let in the country in the first place. 175 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: Why did they allow him in? Why did they naturalize 176 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: him as a citizen. I have a feeling that information 177 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: in the databases didn't magically appear in the last fifteen months. 178 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 2: It's been there a long time. It's just prior administrations 179 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: didn't care. We didn't get to the bottom of that. 180 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 2: A week prior to the attack, members of gaz Zali's 181 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: family in Lebanon, including two brothers, were killed in an 182 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: Israeli airstrike. As the US and Israel entered its second 183 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: week of conflict with Iran. Now this is where the 184 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: media clutched their pearls. Well, his brother was killed, So naturally, 185 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: when your brothers killed, what you do is try to 186 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 2: murder a hundred kids. That's the normal reaction to that. 187 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: But then here's the killer paragraph that follows, the Israeli 188 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: Israeli military said one of the brothers, Ibrahim Mohammad Gazali, 189 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: was a Hesbela commander in charge of managing weapons operations 190 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: in the Raigning Proxy Group's BOTD unit. Gazali began planning 191 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: for the attack days earlier, so the FBI said, with 192 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: his plans intensifying on March ninth. A review of Gazali's 193 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: online activity dating to January. January was before the war 194 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: in Iran started. YEP showed repeated searches for pro Hesbela 195 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: and Iranian news outlets, as well as videos related to 196 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: gunfire and ammunition. Beginning March ninth, FBI said he closely 197 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 2: followed speeches in live coverage involving Hesblas Secretary Terry General 198 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: Naim Kassem, along with reporting about an Iranian fatwah, a 199 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: religious ruling concerning Islamic law calling for total jihad against 200 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: the US military. He also researched Jewish cultural education and 201 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 2: religious centers throughout the Detroit metro area, viewing multiple pages 202 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: of upcoming events at Temple Israel, and searched specific terms 203 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 2: and phrases such as quote the largest gathering of Israelis 204 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: in Michigan Orthodox synagogues and Israelis near me. That day, 205 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: after two people declined to sell him a weapon, Gazali 206 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: bought an AR fifteen style rifle, ten magazines at about 207 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 2: three hundred rounds of ammunition at a gun store in 208 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: Dearborn Heights. Runyon said, Now, it's interesting that two stores 209 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: declined to sell it to him, and yet the one 210 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: in deer Born was willing to. I think that's something else. 211 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: You've owned a gun store. 212 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that is a massive red flag. 213 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: Like if you turn down somebody and there's two stores 214 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: they clearly like were doing their jobs, by the way 215 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: a gun stores and. 216 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 2: Say so, tell us as someone who's owned a gun store, 217 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: like this guy goes in and says, I want to 218 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: buy an AR, Why would a gun store say no. 219 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a couple of reasons one you profile, and 220 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: you can see if someone seems angry or agitated. You 221 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: can also you're supposed to be looking to see if 222 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: an individual you think is doing a straw purchase, which 223 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: means they're buying for someone else illegally. You'll see that 224 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: happen a lot of times with wives that will come 225 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: in their husband would be a felon, or someone that's 226 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: disqualified from only a weapon, or a friend will come in. 227 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: You'll see people that walk in the store, they'll look 228 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: at a gun, they'll take a picture of it, they'll leave, 229 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: and then literally thirty seconds later, a minute later, someone 230 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: comes in and tries to buy the exact gun that 231 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: you just showed to someone else. Like, there's multiple things 232 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: that you look for here, but then there's also conversations 233 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: if you see that someone comes in and by the way, 234 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: if you believe that they're drunk or high or on 235 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: some sort of drug, you can refuse. And if you 236 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: just have a really bad feeling it's something doesn't feel right, 237 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: you can say I'm not gonna sell you a gun, 238 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: and you have the rise of store owner to do that. 239 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: But when you hear that two gun stores did this 240 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: and most yeah, that says a lot, because something there 241 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: I would love to see and go back and here 242 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: because I'm sure there's going to be an interview. What 243 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: was it? And then were the authorities alerted to this? 244 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: And yet a third store was able to sell them 245 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: the gun. They didn't check in on that afterwards. That 246 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: also is very concerning. 247 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, the story continues. He practiced shooting the new weapon 248 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: the next day and bought the fireworks. An order of 249 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: dozens of water containers arrived on the eleventh day before 250 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: the attack, and he immediately started filling them with gasoline, 251 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: making four trips to gas stations so he would not 252 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: arouse suspicion. He also bought two torchlighters, which authorities believed 253 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: he used to set his truck on fire. On the 254 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,479 Speaker 2: day of the attack, Gazali sent his sister, who authorities 255 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: believe lives in Lebanon, numerous videos and messages quote affirming 256 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: his Hesbela inspired ideology. Ten minutes before he drove his 257 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: truck into the synagogue, Gazali sent his sister two videos 258 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: in Arabic indicating that he was at the largest gathering 259 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: of Israelis in the state of Michigan, had booby trapped 260 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: his car and would forcibly enter and start shooting people. 261 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: The FBI said, God willing, I will kill as many 262 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: of them as I possibly can. Gazali recorded himself saying, 263 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: according to Runyan, look, these are the kind of threats 264 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: we're facing. By the way, this podcast covered when the 265 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: Iranian fotwell went out, and we have covered at length 266 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: the radical Islamic terrorists that the Biden administration allowed to 267 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: flood into this country and the lack of vetting, and 268 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: tragically all of this happened at the same time we 269 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: had the Department of Homeland Security shut down because the 270 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: Democrats have defunded it. And I'm sorry to say, this 271 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: guy is not the last radical Islamic terrorist left in 272 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: the country, and yet Senate Democrats do not seem to 273 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: care at all. 274 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: Well, let's go back in time just a little bit 275 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: to remind people. This was part of what President Trump 276 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: had said we need to do, which was to go 277 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: back and to vet Can you give an update on that. 278 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: And as some of that vetting stop because of DHS 279 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: lack of funding in all these fights and the government 280 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: shutdowns that have happened. 281 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: Well, some of that vetting would be happening at the 282 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: State Department. Some of it would be happening at DHS. 283 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: And so I don't know the status of that vetting. 284 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: We have not gotten a report. We obviously have a 285 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: brand new Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen. By 286 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: the way, I will point out, every Democrat but two 287 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: voted against confirming him. So their position is they don't 288 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: want a secretary of DHS. And by the way, they 289 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: all like Mark Wayne. He was a colleague in the Senate. 290 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: They knew him, he was well liked on both sides 291 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: of the island. Was not personal. They wouldn't vote to confirm. 292 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: I would tak bugs Bunny as head of DHS. Their 293 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: party is the open borders party. Anyone who has focused 294 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: on securing the border. Today's Democrats oppose. 295 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. And then you look at this story 296 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: and you go immediately to New York. I am really 297 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: concerned about what we're seeing in New York. You and 298 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: I have talked about this Mandani. I think is a 299 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: bigger threat to this country than just a threat to 300 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: the people in New York City. Let's talk about the 301 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: breaking news there as well. 302 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, very much agree. Give a listen to what Mandami 303 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: had to say about about the war in Iran and 304 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: about the Iotolin particular. Give a listen. 305 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: I think we're seeing the fact that, in the face 306 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: of Americans facing a historic affordability crisis, that we have 307 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: the pursuit of something that has already cost twenty three 308 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 3: billion dollars thus far, the kind of money that could 309 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: transform working class to Americans live, whether through investments in 310 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 3: medicare or teachers, or even elimination of student debt for 311 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 3: tens of thousands of Americans, and all of that being 312 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 3: thrown aside for the pursuit of yet another regime changed war. 313 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 3: And it's a war that should be opposed on every 314 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 3: single ground, not just procedural but also moral, but also political, 315 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 3: and also a war that should be opposed on the 316 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: grounds of the fact that it is being financed by 317 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 3: the very money that could make it easier to keep 318 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 3: calling this city, this country home. And yet there is 319 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 3: a blindness to that fact, all while we're being told 320 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: that this is this is not what we're seeing with 321 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 3: our own eyes. 322 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: All right, Senaert, let's just go to the moral spot there. 323 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: When he said that, I'm like, what world is he 324 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: living in? Morally then explain the terrorism has Blahamas and 325 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: all the other sponsors of terrorism, all the dead bodies 326 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: and all the Americans have been killed by Iran. He says, 327 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: there's no moral compass for this war to even begin with. 328 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: I would say, sit down with families we've lost loved 329 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: ones and are placing flowers at tombstones on Memorial Day 330 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: and tell them this political garbage. 331 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: Look, Iran is killed nearly one thousand Americans over the 332 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 2: last forty seven years. They're the number one state funder 333 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: of terrorism in the world. They get provide ninety percent 334 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: of the funding for Amas Hesbalah and the Houthis. They 335 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: hired hitmen to kill President Trump and the Iyahtola, who 336 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: Mandami is grieving right there, regularly would lead mobs chanting 337 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 2: death to America. And yet Mandami's loyalties apparently death to 338 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 2: America is not a sentiment that he has significant disagreement with. 339 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 2: He thinks it is immoral, he thinks it is wrong. 340 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 2: It should be opposed on every front taking out a 341 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: regime that is killing Americans. And look, this is the 342 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: heart of today's Democrat party. Mandami and AOC and ilhan Omar, 343 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 2: the radical Marxist, Islamist, jihadist America hating Kami left. By 344 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 2: the way, I love that he begins with twenty three 345 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: billion dollars? Can you believe they spent that much? Never 346 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: in his life has Madami seen government spending that he opposes, 347 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 2: except if it's taking out an Islamist leader who is 348 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: murdering Americans. That's the one instance in which government spending 349 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 2: he is opposed to. In every other instance, this. 350 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: Man, how much of the government spending in New York 351 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: City was for illegal immigrants that they were housing in 352 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: four star and five star and three star hotels, Like, 353 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: can we just remember, like how much money they've wasted that, 354 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: by the way, could have gone to the people of 355 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: New York that are suffering. Instead, they said, no, no, we 356 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: want to pay out billions to illegal immigrants and make 357 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: their lives more comfortable after they broke our loss. 358 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 2: Well, and we played a couple of weeks ago on verdict, 359 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: Kathy Hokeel, the New York governor, pleading with rich New 360 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 2: Yorkers who had fled the state, please come back, Please 361 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 2: come back to New York, but not promising to make 362 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: it any better, say we want to tax the hell 363 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: out of you. We want to take your money, but 364 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 2: we have really lavish social spending programs and if you 365 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: don't come back, we won't have the money to pay 366 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 2: for them. And it really is funny. I'm trying to 367 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: figure out who is the one rich guy who fled 368 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 2: New York and hears, hey, come back so we can 369 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: take your money and give it away because we know 370 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: how what to do with it better than you are. 371 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 2: Who's the one audience member who hears that. I don't know, 372 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: but Mondammie isn't even saying that he's happy for them 373 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 2: to flee his city. And look, I fear with this 374 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: kind of environment. Number one, I fear for the NYPD, 375 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: their ability to do their job with a mayor who 376 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: now opposes their enforcing the law and protecting New Yorkers. 377 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: But number two, his coddling, his embrace of Islamist America haters. 378 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: It is not good. New York suffered the very worst 379 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: terror attack our country's ever seen on nine to eleven. 380 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 2: DC did as well, But having a mayor who is 381 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: now rooting for the death to America crowd, that is 382 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: a deep, deeply, deeply concerning development. 383 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: If you think Mandannie's like a one off your and 384 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: if you want proof of it, and how concerned you 385 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: should all be over these types of individuals. Let's saga, 386 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: look at the Michigan Senate candidate that avoids discussing Iran 387 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: because quote, there's a lot of people in Dearborn who 388 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: are sad that we took out the Ayahtola. Like, this 389 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: is not just Mandani, folks, this is the Democratic Party 390 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: growing very quickly in this Yeah. 391 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: Look, some listeners, particularly listeners who are skeptical, when I 392 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: said Mondani was sad the Iyahtola was killed, might have said, gosh, 393 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 2: that's too harsh. He's not really that that's putting too much. Well, 394 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: Mondani is part of a broader movement of America hating 395 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: Islamists who are taking over the Democrat Party. And in Michigan, 396 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: you've got a candidate for US Senate, a guy named 397 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: Abdul l Sayed, And interestingly enough, he was caught on 398 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: tape strategizing what to say about the the Iran War. 399 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, how about I don't put 400 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 2: words in his mouth. Ben doesn't put words in his mouth. 401 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: Let's listen to the words that came out of his 402 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: own mouth. 403 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 4: Give a listener, noa, this is going to DC wise reason. 404 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 4: I also, I want to remind you guys that there 405 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 4: are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. 406 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 4: So like, I just don't want to comment on to 407 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 4: Moni him an A at all. 408 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's worth even touching that doesn't even 409 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: want to touch this, this this butcher and killer and 410 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: murder of Americans because there's a lot of people that 411 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: he wants to vote for him in Dearborn that are 412 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: sad today. 413 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 2: And by the way, you hear his staffers huh huh, 414 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, I mean they all know that this 415 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: is no secret. Why are the people in Dearborn sad? 416 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 2: They're sad for the same reason Mondani is sad because 417 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: far too many of them are Islamists who cheer for 418 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 2: the Islamists who want to kill Americans. And and you 419 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: know this, Michigan senate candidate, you're gonna talk about senec 420 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: listen to his strategy rather than talk about US national security, 421 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 2: rather than talk about killing terrorists, rather than talk about 422 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 2: keeping America safe. What do you think he wants to 423 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 2: do instead? Well, again, don't take my word for it. 424 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: Give a listen to his strategy rather than address US 425 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 2: national security. 426 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 4: And I'm just gonna go straight at pedophilia. Frankly, I 427 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 4: was a pedophile. President Bride decides that he doesn't like 428 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 4: the front page news, so he decides. 429 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: To take us into another war. There was a time 430 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 3: when you. 431 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 4: All were talking about America first. 432 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 3: This seems to be to be America last. 433 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: There it is like, we're just gonna make up stuff, 434 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: lie about the president, and do this, and that'll be 435 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: our pivot from us actually having to talk about what's 436 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 1: happening in Iran because I don't want to upset the 437 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: Islamist that support, you know, support the Iatola. 438 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: By the way, quick question, what painting did Jeffrey Epstein 439 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 2: have hanging in his living room in New York City? 440 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: It was Bill Clinton in a blue dress, isn't that right? 441 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: And red pumps. He literally had a painting of Bill 442 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 2: Clinton on his wall. He was an original friend of Bill. 443 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton practically had his own seat on the Louit 444 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 2: Lead Express. And yet the Democrats just scream, okay, let's 445 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: let's just call Trumpet pedophile. It's pure, but the citicism 446 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 2: of it, the cynicism of it, is only works because 447 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: the media is corrupt. Let's listen to what else this 448 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: Democrat saidate candidate had. 449 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 4: To say, Like we have the moral high ground here. 450 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 4: I think the more we stay out is like they're 451 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 4: going to try and dat us into saying yeah, but 452 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 4: isn't it justified now that they took him out right? 453 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: And I just think, well, we gotta prep for it. 454 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: We gotta prep for taking out a murderous terrorist in 455 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: Iran that says he wants to blow up and kill 456 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: innocent Americans who already has and Israel and they're like, 457 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: we gotta prep for this, guys, this is a big 458 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: pr nightmare for us. What are we gonna do now? 459 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: Well, there is one other Democrat strategy. One they scream 460 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: pedophile and attack Trump. But there's a second Democrat strategy 461 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 2: because if they don't want to actually talk about protecting 462 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 2: America and killing terrorists, what they do instead is is 463 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: their old their old refuge. Well again, listen, rather than 464 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: let me characterize it, I mean that talking about doing 465 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 2: this and Israel's issue always just makes me a little nervous. 466 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 4: I figured as much I can, I can, I can 467 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 4: shade away from it. But when I say if I'm 468 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 4: going to take the shot. I can't just allude to it. 469 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 4: I got to take the whole shot, which means that 470 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, look, you've got a path backed homors 471 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 4: people who now don't want this to empower Congress to 472 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: step up and enforce its own prerogative. Yeah, ask yourself 473 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 4: who that benefits and why? Ask yourself how powerful that 474 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 4: force is in our politics if they won't even stand 475 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 4: up to a president who's making illegal and unjustified war. 476 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, making illegal war in order to distract. 477 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 3: Us, you know. 478 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I think that I think it's that shot 479 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 5: is fine. I just think that it should always be 480 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 5: coupled with the affordability argument. Like I think the danger 481 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 5: here is just getting too caught up in the like 482 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 5: high level politics of it and not not spending enough 483 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 5: time without machine. 484 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: Gonna come up with what's her name with Welch. 485 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 4: Yes, Well, she's going to be hot on this, and 486 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 4: she's gonna she's going to bade me into the Israel stuff. 487 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 4: And if I'm going to take the shot, I gotta 488 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 4: set up. I gotta set up the whole shot. That's 489 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: the thing, you know what I mean? Like, look, I'm 490 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 4: running against an a Pack backed Democratic congressman, and you 491 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 4: know what her statement was, We're perfectly okay with this war. 492 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: She should have ASTs first. 493 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: It's amazing how much sustain he has, by the way, 494 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: for Jewish people in Israel, right, like just you can 495 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: hear it there in his voice. He's like, look, we're gonna. 496 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: His strategy is simple, attack Israel, attack the Jews, like 497 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: that is his strategy. And you know what, in Dearborn, 498 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 2: the same people who is he put it her quote 499 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 2: sad that the Ayatola who chanted death to America is 500 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: no longer able to pay terrorists to kill Americans. Those 501 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 2: are the same people that when you attack Israel and 502 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 2: attack Jews, they get excited and vote for you. And 503 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: you know, you know what's really terrifying. That may be 504 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: a winning strategy in a Democrat primary in Michigan, and 505 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 2: obviously was a winning strategy in a Democrat primary in 506 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 2: New York City. It was a winning strategy for Ilhan Omar, 507 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: It was a winning strategy for AOC, It was a 508 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: winning strategy for Rashida Talib. This is the base of 509 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. And if you have any serious question 510 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 2: about how do you protect America against radical Islamic terrorists 511 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: who want to kill us. Yeah, like the Hesbala terrorist 512 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 2: in Michigan that we started this podcast talking about today's 513 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: Democrat party has nothing to say about it. 514 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: Nothing. I want to move to this last story. It 515 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: is April first, April fools. But this story is not 516 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: a joke. We're not Babylon being you hear, Senator. This 517 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: is actually a real story that has come out and 518 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: it's amazing from the Washington Post talking about the Iran 519 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: conflick showing why energy dominance is so important. You can't 520 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: make this up. I mean wow. 521 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: So this is a real editorial in the Washington Post, 522 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: and it's an editorial from the paper itself. It's not 523 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 2: a guest columnist. It is entitled three Cautionary Tales from 524 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 2: the Iran Energy Shock. Never confuse good intentions with good planning. 525 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 2: And here's what the Washington Post Editorial Board has to say. 526 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: Roughly twenty eight million tons of liquefied natural gas have 527 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 2: disappeared from global markets since the closure of the Strait 528 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: of Hormuz and damage to Cutter's export terminals. Analysts predict 529 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: the shortfall could last years. While every energy importer will 530 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: feel the pinch, not every one of them will feel 531 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: it equally. Germany, Taiwan, and California are cautionary tales. All 532 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: three have had their politics shaped by green movements, and 533 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: all three are more or vulnerable for it. When environmentalists 534 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 2: came to power, they forced the premature retirement of nuclear reactors, 535 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: coal plants, and oil refineries. They calculated that the planet's 536 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: needs demanded it, and that global markets would fill the gap. 537 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: All three polities are now frantically reversing course, but energy 538 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 2: sources can't be rebuilt over night. Germany's Green Party was 539 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: founded in nineteen eighty as an anti nuclear movement. When 540 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 2: it first entered coalition government in nineteen ninety eight, its 541 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 2: price of admission was nuclear phase out. It re entered 542 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: government in twenty twenty one, in time to oversee the 543 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 2: shuddering of Germany's last three reactors in twenty twenty three. 544 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: The Greens also pioneered the phasing out of the country's 545 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 2: coal plants. That Germany sits atop thirty five billion tons. 546 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: Billion tons of lignite did not enter into their calculations. 547 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: Germany bet big on solar and wind, but intermittent renewables 548 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: can't ensure a consistent supply that left LL ANDNG filling 549 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: the gap. Last week, Energy Minister Katharina Reisch called the 550 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: nuclear shut down quote a huge mistake. With spot prices 551 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: for LNG sharply up. The government is now looking at 552 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 2: restoring coal plants it retired in the past. Germany has 553 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 2: imported nuclear generated electricity from France when squeezed, soho noticed 554 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 2: the Green Party. The effect of them is to go 555 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 2: back to coal generation into increase pollution. All right, Let's 556 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 2: continue and see what the Washington Post has to say 557 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 2: about Taiwan. Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party codified anti nuclear dogma 558 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: into its founding charter in nineteen eighty six. Its arch rival, 559 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 2: the nationalist and at the time authoritarian Kumanting Kua Mantang, 560 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: wisely built nuclear power plants as part of a breakneck 561 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 2: industrialization program. When the DPP won power in twenty sixteen, 562 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 2: it legislated a quote nuclear Free Homeland and began retiring 563 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 2: the country's coal plants. Phasing out coal made sense, replacing 564 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 2: nuclear with LNG much less so. Like Germany, Taiwan can't 565 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 2: rely solely on renewables. Taiwan has virtually no domestic fossil fuels, 566 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: and without nuclear it has to import ninety seven percent 567 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: of its energy by c Last week, the DPP reversed 568 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 2: course and announced plans to restart the reactors. All right, 569 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: how about the People's Republic of California, led by Comrade 570 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. In California, environmental regulations have achieved something remarkable. 571 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 2: They have seven ver the state's gasoline market from the 572 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 2: rest of the country. Unique fuel blend mandates mean no 573 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 2: other state's gasoline is compatible with Californias. Other onerous regulations, 574 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: emission fines, profit caps, drilling restrictions have driven refiners out, 575 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: and there are no inbound pipelines for crude or refined products. 576 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 2: Now gas is approaching six dollars a gallon YEP with 577 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 2: no domestic replacement, California became dependent on gasoline imports from 578 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: Asian refineries, which are now cutting shipments because the Strait 579 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: of Hormuz is closed. As Chevron's refining chief Andy Waltz 580 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 2: recently put it, quote, the California intent to offshore carbon 581 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 2: to other nations has offshored their security of supply. Chevron 582 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: has warned that it could leave calib entirely within a 583 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: decade unless regulations change. By the way, Chevron was a 584 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 2: California company. They moved to Texas in the last year 585 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: because the California Loonies drove them out. And here's what 586 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 2: the Washington Post closes with. The error in Germany, Taiwan 587 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 2: and California was confusing good intentions with good planning and 588 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 2: assuming a stable global energy market would always be there 589 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 2: to paper over the difference. The Iran war shows it won't. 590 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 2: The government's best situated to whether this energy shock are 591 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: not the greenest, but the ones that treated energy as 592 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 2: a national security interest and diversified their supply responsibly. I'm 593 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 2: going to say something I don't know that I've ever 594 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: said before. I agree wholeheartedly with the Washington Post. 595 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, you and I both on that one. It's a 596 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: great way to end this show. Don't forget, and it's 597 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: not in April fools. It's not in April fools. It's 598 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: not the Babylon b Don't Forget. We do the show Monday, 599 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday.
