1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck, and load of

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: Iran's formerly supreme leader, Ayatola a Mine is dead. This

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: wretched and vile man had the blood of hundreds and

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: even thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: for the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people all

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: across many countries. Last night, all over Iran, the voices

8
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: of the Iranian people could be heard cheering and celebrating

9
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: in the streets when his death was announced. I call

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: upon all Iranian patriots who yearned for freedom to seize

11
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 2: this moment to be brave, be bold, be heroic, and

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: take back to your country. America is with you. I

13
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: made a promise to you, and I fulfilled that promise.

14
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: The rest will be up to you, but will be

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: there to help you.

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: It's an incredible dissonance that they had to choose war

17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: over regime, but they were willing to do it. Thank

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: you Donald Trump, Thank you Benjamin Netya who, Thank you America.

19
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 3: It's not death to America after they killed the leader.

20
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: The Americans and the Israelis did it.

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: It's not death to Israel and death to America. It's

22
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: thank you.

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: It's a new day dawning, but very early days, very

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: very early days, so we'll have.

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: To see what comes.

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: But it's the Iranian people that have been telling me

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: over and over and over again, we want this. We're

28
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: not regimists, we're not Islamic. I don't even say oh

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: my God to my Iranian friends because they don't want

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: God to be any part of this.

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 5: This is about national security. This is about what is

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 5: possible in the Middle East. This is about being a

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: good name, good partner to the Gulf States and what

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 5: their aspirations are. This is about supporting the people of Venezuela.

35
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 5: This is a about dismembering our relationship with or not dismembering,

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 5: but resetting our relationship with China.

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Right now, fifty five.

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 5: Percent of the oil production that Iran produces goes to China,

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 5: despite sanctions. You want to support the people of Ukraine,

40
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 5: you want to end that word, you have to. There

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 5: is no getting around dismembering this Islamic republic. It is

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 5: non negotiable. It is not a want to have. It

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 5: does ay have to have And it's not just for

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 5: the Iranian people.

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: I think you have to trust.

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 5: The Iranian people. We know this government better than anyone else.

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 5: When you dismember and decapitate this regime, you are going

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 5: to see a change in them, att least in Venezuela,

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: in China, in Ukraine. And I think, quite frankly, their

50
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: ideology has really it's caused a lot of problems for

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 5: US worldwide. We need to take it seriously, and I

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 5: think at this point we have a tremendous opportunity. This

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 5: will be like ending the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall.

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 5: This is a transformational moment for humankind.

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: Wow.

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Terribly concerned that coverage of the attacks on Iran and

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: now the Iranian or the Irani attempts to bomb other

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: countries and American sites, and terror cell activity in the

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: United States and foreign reaction to all this. I am

60
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: worried that with all of this sucking the oxygen out

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: of the room and occupying all of our attention round

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: the clock, we won't be getting updates on the Savannah

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: Guthrieses mommy story. How else will we know that the

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: FBI is en route to Nancy Guthries' home for the

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: thirteenth time. And now we go live to the FBI

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: walking onto the property escorted by the sheriff. Oh, are

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: there new developments? It's a who done it? And then

68
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: I will hear from people when I make this statement.

69
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: They'll say it's true, it's true. They're over the top

70
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: with the coverage. And by the way, she's already dead.

71
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: And then people will give you their theory. With all

72
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: due respect, I love my father, I love my family.

73
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't want them to go missing. But I'm not

74
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: emotionally invested in Savannah Guthrie's mother's story. I'm sure she

75
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: is because it's her mother, and I'm not going to

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: feel bad that I'm not going to be told to

77
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: be emotionally invested in somebody else's case. I'm not. I'm

78
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: not on a jury of her murderer, or her kidnapper

79
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: or her extortionist. There is no reason I need to

80
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: care about that case. Fox doesn't really want me to

81
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: care about it save and except they want me to

82
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: stay plugged in, and as we've seen, they'll move to

83
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the next hot thing. An OJ Simpson car chat Momming's

84
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: in Iran. If the only thing we're supposed to care

85
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: about is Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts, what has happened to her?

86
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Then how did we choose Nancy Guthrie? Would your mother

87
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: get that attention? Well, Michael, that's a big case. A

88
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: woman is missing. Do you know how many people go

89
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: missing in this country every day? And nobody gives a

90
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: damn not even a little day, not even a tiny bit.

91
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: Children go missing, they flee the country, the mom or

92
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: the dad gets custody for the weekend. We never see

93
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: them again. It's a very unhealthy and may I say,

94
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: naive thing to think that what's going on in the

95
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: world is what's being covered. That's a that's a little

96
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: uh what was that thing ramon that they had that

97
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: you what, No, not the polaroids, you would click it viewfinder,

98
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: that's a viewfinder perspective on the world. News directors had

99
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: nine and more, incredible power in the world, incredible power

100
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: in America to tell you what was important and what wasn't.

101
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: The problem is the decline of network and even cable

102
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: television news has been a decline of their influence. So

103
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: if you want to go surf porn, thousands of pages

104
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: for that, You care about classic cars, thousands of pages

105
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: for that, You want true crime, and that's really what

106
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: this is it's a true crime of some sort. It's

107
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: true crime in an era where the network's got lazy

108
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: and they could go round, But it's really a true

109
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: crime podcast. It's nothing more than that. And yeah, all right,

110
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: lots to get to the Texas primary tomorrow. I do

111
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: want to talk about that because I think that's going

112
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: to have a lot to do with the United States

113
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Senate come January. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been

114
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: the most active secretary of State at President Trump's direction

115
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: in quite some time. Do you remember who Joe Biden's

116
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: secretary of state was? Do you remember who President Trump's

117
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: secretary of state his first administration?

118
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 6: Who?

119
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: There were more than one who that was. Do you

120
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: remember who was Barack Obama secretary of state? Probably only

121
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: because it's Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton could be the

122
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: county clerk of Jefferson County, Texas, and you'd pay attention

123
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: because you'd want to know what that witch is up to.

124
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: But Rubio is having quite a run. I think he

125
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: has burnished his reputation that was that was harmed terribly

126
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: with his twenty sixteen presidential run. And I think I

127
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: think Marco understands that he made a huge mistake. What

128
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: happened to Marco Rubio happens to a lot of guys

129
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: when they go to DC. They go there with this. Remember,

130
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio in twenty ten was a MAGA guy before

131
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: there was maga. He was a tea party guy. And

132
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: he came out of the House of Representatives in Florida.

133
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: He beat a powerful Republican with National Republican Senatorial Committee money.

134
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: He started at four percent in the polls. Marco shot

135
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: he was a tea party guy. He was talking about

136
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: a lot of what Trump would end up talking about.

137
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: He's Latino, he's Cuban descent, he's from Florida. He was young,

138
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he was it. And then he got there

139
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: and he was perceived as that kind of guy, much

140
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: like Ted would do two years later. But the money

141
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: came to him, the evil temptress, and they said, hey, Marco,

142
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: come sit over here at the cool table, just like

143
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: in the movies or just like at prison. Oh you mean,

144
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I won't get butt raped if I get to sit

145
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: at the cool table. Come on over here. We're gonna

146
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: let you sit with the grand pooh bahs. And Marco

147
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: was very interested in this, and they said, hey, look,

148
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: we got to cut a deal here, We got to

149
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: be reasonable. We admire what you've done. You've made a

150
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: real strong case to stop illegal immigration, no amnesty. You've

151
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: become a leader. But what's the point of building all

152
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: that clout in capital if you don't use that. Let's

153
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: get a real solution to this problem.

154
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 6: And you could be.

155
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: Part of the solution, not just out there throwing rocks

156
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: and complaining. You can show you can govern, you can

157
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: be president. And Marco bought it. Wo line and Sinker.

158
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: The great evil temptations do not have evil temptation written

159
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: on their face. They don't say to you, hey, do

160
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: what we want you to do and ruin your career.

161
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Quite the opposite. And so little Marco there he was,

162
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: he was he They rolled him out. Hey, look it's

163
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: all those walk creatures and we've got an amnesty deal

164
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: that the base is going to hate. But wait, we've

165
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: got your guy. And there was little Marco. And rather

166
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: than the Bass saying, well, you know, if that's what

167
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: the swamp wants, and Marco says it's the best deal,

168
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: we'll go along, the Bass said, just like we thought

169
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: you played tea party when tea Party was working then

170
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: you got there and you sold out. So Marco was

171
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: struggling and it hurt him in twenty sixteen. Trump is

172
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: very very astute, astute judge of people's motivations. I describe

173
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: him as at the dog park. He's the dog to

174
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: know which dog will bite and which one will bark.

175
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: And he put Marco in as Secretary of State, and

176
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: I think Marco has had a greater rise in his

177
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: stock as part of the Trump administration than any other person.

178
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: If you look at the marginal increase in his stock,

179
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: he has had the greatest increase in his stock of

180
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: anyone serving in the administration. And it's not even closed.

181
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: This is what he said after the attack, the strikes

182
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: on Israel's changing very fat bred Vunneberg so old Walds

183
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: gone frankly, I how up can we live in a

184
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: new era at geopolitics? And it's going to require all

185
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: of us and sort of re examine what that looks

186
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: like if we're all roll of point of beatable. And

187
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: I've had many of these conversations that many of our allies,

188
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: if you are our light, and we need to continue

189
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: to have a conversations. The challenge is going to be

190
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: what does regime change look like. I think Trump learned

191
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: a lot from the Iraqi debacle. The focus was get

192
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein out of office and kill off everybody who

193
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: was around him, the scourge of the Bath Party, and

194
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: that happened and it worked. The problem is you cut

195
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: off the head and there was nothing to replace it.

196
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: You create a power vacuum at a moment like this,

197
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: so Iran starts sending in insurgents. They're going to take

198
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: this government. You had various factions within and without Iraq

199
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: who wanted the prize of the Iraqi government, and we

200
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: ended up installing some very weak leaders who did not

201
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: have public support. And I fear that's what's going to

202
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: happen in Iran. You can you can cut off the

203
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: head of the entirety of that administration and you can

204
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: kill them off. And President Trump has made the statement

205
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: that the folks that he predicted would be the next

206
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: round of leaders are now dead. There's been some criticism

207
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: that you idiot, you killed your own bench. No, that

208
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: wasn't his bench. He predicted those would be the people

209
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: who would fill the breach. The question is going to

210
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: be in a country that does not have an open

211
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: political culture and does not have institutions, the pillars that

212
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: underpin democratic government. Where's your farm team? So what tends

213
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: to happen in a situation like this is there's a

214
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: military junta that takes over because they've got the guns,

215
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: or some sort of police organization or some sort of

216
00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: radical that can manage to mobilize young people. Usually that

217
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: can win the hearts of the military, and that can

218
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: happen too. That could be a Equialessa type deal in Poland,

219
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: or a labor but you don't really have labor in

220
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: Iran the way you would in an Eastern European country,

221
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: particularly forty years ago. So when you're looking for the

222
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: folks that would return to lead, well, one thing Israel

223
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: didn't want was Amadinijhad and so he was killed after

224
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: all this because I think he was a natural, if

225
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: only because he was the name you knew and he

226
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: was a civilian. Clearly Israel didn't want him, because they

227
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: killed him. You've got some senior members of the military cabal,

228
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: but some of those are now perceived and very likely

229
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: to have been the case, to have been working with

230
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Israel to give away the whereabouts. So the question is

231
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: do they survive in the short term, long enough to

232
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: be able to leave Iran. This is not going to

233
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: be an easy regime change and attempt to stabilize this country.

234
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Probably pure cants or and the left and their media

235
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: would declare he was creating unemployment among the pharmaceutical industry.

236
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: It wouldn't matter. It really wouldn't matter, you know. Amidst

237
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: all the laughter at the silliness of the left and

238
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: the media, and whatever your position on the Irani strikes,

239
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: anytime an American puts on our uniform and gives their life,

240
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: no greater love hath any man than to lay down

241
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: his life for a friend. It is the most Christlike

242
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: thing you can do with These folks give their lives

243
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: for our country. Politics stops where our compassion and appreciation begins,

244
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: and President Trump understood that and said.

245
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: This Earlier today, Sentcam shared the news that three US

246
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: military service members have been killed in action. As one nation,

247
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: we grieve for the true American patriots who have made

248
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue

249
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. We

250
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send

251
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of

252
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: the fallen, and sadly, there will likely be more before

253
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: it ends.

254
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: That's the way.

255
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: It is likely be more, but will do everything possible

256
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: where that won't be the case. But America will avenge

257
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the

258
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: terrorists who have waged war against basically civilization. They have

259
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: waged war against civilization itself. Our resolved. Likewise, that of

260
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: Israel has never been stronger. So we have to.

261
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: Address the fact that there was a terrible terror attack

262
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: in Austin. Obviously, I'm mindful because my son goes to

263
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: school there. Fortunately he was at home in Houston visiting US,

264
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: so he was not out on Sixth Street or in

265
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: Austin where this was going down. But this individual came

266
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: to this country on a tourist visa, applied for asylum

267
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: after having been here a number of years, and donning

268
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: a property of Allah hoodie with the Koran in his car,

269
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: and we're told was wearing an undershirt. I still haven't

270
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: seen it, but I haven't watched much news an undershirt

271
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: featuring the Irani flag and other Irani symbols. When he

272
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: opened fire on Buford's backyard beer garden near the UT

273
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Austin campus, a site that is mostly UT students, and

274
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: the first person to die, Writer Harrington, was a Texas

275
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: tech student visiting some friends there. This has got to stop.

276
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: This is why you have deportations. This guy should have

277
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: been deported. The story from KTVTTV out of Dallas.

278
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 7: Yes video shows people taking cover inside a bar as

279
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 7: a gunman fired shots toward them from the window of

280
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 7: an suv. Then police said he parked and got out

281
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 7: with a rifle and started firing again. Within less than

282
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 7: a minute, three police officers patrolling the busy entertainment district

283
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 7: shot and killed the gunman. Paramedics immediately started trying to

284
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 7: save the lives of the nineteen people shot. Two of

285
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 7: them died, three more who were in critical condition. Sources

286
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 7: identified the shooter to CBS News as Indiaga Danye, a

287
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 7: naturalized US citizen originally from Senegal. There were indicators that

288
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 7: on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate potential

289
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 7: access to terrorism. The gunman was wearing a sweatshirt that

290
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 7: said property of a law and had a Koran in

291
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 7: his vehicle. Investigator searching his home north of Austin found

292
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 7: an Iranian flag and pictures of Iranian leaders. According to

293
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 7: officials close to the investigation, this is what keeps the

294
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 7: intelligence community up at night, not people directly associated with

295
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 7: terrorist groups, but people who.

296
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: Become inspired because of things that are happening in the world.

297
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 7: Law enforcement officials have also told CBS News that this shooter, Steve,

298
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 7: had a history of mental health issues that law enforcement

299
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 7: was aware of.

300
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: So I'm all for liberating Iran for the Irani people

301
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: and creating a better place for them to call home.

302
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: But my focus is on the American people on our streets,

303
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: and I assure you there will be the terror cell

304
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: attacks or there will be attacks, whether they are lone

305
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: wolf as they're called. You know, you see some of

306
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: the things coming out of these these mosques today, Some

307
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: of these some of these im moms are nothing more

308
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: than terror provocateurs calling on people to do awful things.

309
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: And invariably you're going to get some poor dumb ass

310
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: who's gonna think that he's doing something for Allah. It's

311
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna happen, and this is why we need the deportation.

312
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: I think there is there's gonna be a lot of

313
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: ups and downs and developments in Iran over the coming

314
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: days and months. The overnight success of this effort will

315
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: be forgotten by summer if there is a civil war,

316
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: and particularly if America is putting boots on the ground,

317
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: and there will be a pull from Iran, an emotional

318
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: plea to send our boys, and there will be a

319
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: push in this country. Iranians living in this country, of

320
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: multiple generations are a very influential group, very very They

321
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: are doctors, to a lesser extent, lawyers, businessmen, activists, professors,

322
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: and there is a deep understandable desire by the way

323
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: every group of immigrants who comes to this country and

324
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: the generations after it, who identify with their homeland. When

325
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: I say that they should not be setting American foreign

326
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: policy is not to criticize them.

327
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 5: That is to.

328
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: Remind you that America is America. It's not a country

329
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: of Jews from Israel or Saudis from Saudi Arabia or

330
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: Lebanese or Iranis, or Indians or Pakistanese or Chinese or

331
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: Japanese or Vietnamese or Mexicans. That is to remind you

332
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: that there are people among us who have a loyalty

333
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: to another country, even if it's not a primary loyalty,

334
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: and that does not always put America's best interests first.

335
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: And one has to be careful of that because most

336
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: Americans are walking around without this deep connection to a

337
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: foreign country. There are Indians who live in this country

338
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: whose primary allegiance is to in or at least enough

339
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: of it. Same is true of Pakistan, same is true

340
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: of Israel, the same is true of Ukraine. And we've

341
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: seen what kind of mess that can get us into,

342
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: and you're going to see that with Iran. The fall

343
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: of Iran in seventy nine was a precursor to a

344
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: lot of human and financial capital coming to Europe, but

345
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: especially to the United States. And they're very, very successful people,

346
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: much like the Cubans. A lot of the Cubans game here,

347
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: in fact, probably more so per capita, and so those

348
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: individuals are now going to flex and they're going to

349
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: and they're not necessarily wrong. We just have to be

350
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: careful to make good decisions for this country. We have

351
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: to we have to make decisions that are in our

352
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: best interest as a name. And it is my fervorent

353
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: prayer that we not put boots on the ground. That

354
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: would be a terrible, terrible, thing, a terrible, terrible thing,

355
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: and that would hurt Trump in the polls. It'll give

356
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: him a boost and then hurt him bad.

357
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 6: Hey, it's ramon about independence. Webster defines independence as the

358
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: fact or state of being independent, freedom from control, influence, support, aid,

359
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 6: or the like of others. Let us celebrate today Independence Day.

360
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 6: You no doubt know the stories settlers on New Land,

361
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 6: angry at their tyrannical ruler ruling from far away, en

362
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 6: active defiance, a declaration of independence, fighting a bigger army

363
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 6: with a rag tag squad, a general who was quickly

364
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 6: losing his troops to injury, disease, famine, and an uncertainty

365
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 6: from their troops who would wonder if their leader was

366
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 6: one worth following. And of course you remember the River

367
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 6: crossing and the final battle that won the war and

368
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 6: changed the United States and her young history forever. Nothing

369
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 6: I can say now will give those heroes the proper

370
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 6: respect or those stories their proper contexts. Those words are

371
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 6: just beyond me. How must it have finally felt, after

372
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 6: losing battles, finally miraculously winning and becoming your own country,

373
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 6: gaining independence, able to govern your citizens as they see

374
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 6: fit and not by the hand of some distant ruler.

375
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 6: Monuments would be built so that generations would know these battles.

376
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 6: Statues erected so generations may be reminded of the soldier's greatness.

377
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 6: And a flag, a mighty flag who's existence represented defiance, pride,

378
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 6: and mostly its independence.

379
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: End.

380
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 6: Oh what a flag, the red, the white, the blue,

381
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 6: and its lone star, representing the Republic of Texas. See

382
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 6: the United States story of freedom is a great and

383
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 6: powerful story, arguably just as great and powerful as the

384
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 6: story of another band of ragtags that fought and died

385
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 6: for freedom. The general whose tactics were doubted until that

386
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 6: final victory, Except this country would be Texas. Sam Houston

387
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 6: was losing his soldiers, not just to sickness and injury,

388
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 6: but to doubt too. After retreating past the Colorado River,

389
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 6: many troops deserted. Finally, on April twenty first, the Battle

390
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 6: of San Deracino was fought and won by the Texians

391
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 6: in only eighteen minutes. When time came to bring Texas

392
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 6: into the United States, it entered as the twenty eighth

393
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 6: state in the Union. Given the US more push west

394
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 6: and upsetting Mexico so much that they declared War on

395
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 6: the United States. The US, with Texas now in tow,

396
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 6: won that war and added an additional five hundred and

397
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 6: twenty five thousand square miles to the United States territory,

398
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 6: including the land that makes up all or part of

399
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 6: present day Arizona in California, in Colorado and Nevada, and

400
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 6: New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Our declaration of independence at

401
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 6: Washington on the Brazas was declared on March second, eighteen

402
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 6: thirty six, one hundred and fifty two days after the

403
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 6: Battle of Gonzales, only four days before the fall of

404
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 6: the Alamo, and fifty days before Texas ultimately won her independence.

405
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 6: Cacinjasono declaring her independence and taking her independence in one

406
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 6: month and nineteen days later. Anyone from Texas would expect

407
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 6: nothing less from Texas. Happy Independence Day, Texans. God certainly

408
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 6: has blessed us and those of you not lucky enough

409
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 6: to live in Texas. Bless y'all hearting for Texas.

410
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 4: Poor world.

411
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 8: Would never cross my mind have been Austin city of

412
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 8: its sun, the no long stall it it comes.

413
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 4: If it wasn't for Texas, it made me the man

414
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: I am.

415
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Thank God for my whole stomping ground.

416
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 4: Wouldn't be standing ride here, riding now if it wasn't

417
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 4: for Texas, If it wasn't for Texas, if it.

418
00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 9: Wasn't for Texas, Lay the gentleman Alas has left.

419
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: Good budding, thank you, and good night

420
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: Sh
