1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the Supreme Court. Why do

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: the communists use violence? We have Brandon Gill here, what's

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: going on with China? All that more coming up on

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: im right. Okay, let's have a discussion, shall we about

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: communists in their use of violence and threats of violence?

6
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: Why is that always how it goes? Okay, but you

7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: know what, put that in your back pocket for a moment.

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: Let's talk about something good because it's going to lead

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: us there. First of all, Supreme Court finally stepped in.

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: They stepped in and they said, hey, uh, Justice Boseburg,

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: this commune justice in DC, can't you can't just step

12
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: in and rule the United States of America. Sorry, you're

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: being removed from this. We're going to deport people from Trent, Okay.

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: So we had to jump through a thousand hoops in

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: order to get the Supreme Court to finally put this

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: judge in his place. And the Supreme Court ruled, and

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: it should be noted Senator Eric Schmidt says he was tipped.

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 2: Off Judge Bosberg over the weekend. It came out he's

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: not the emergency judge in DC. He inserted himself in

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: that role. He was on vacation. The case was filed

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: at two thirty in the morning. Somehow he ended up

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: with that case. He wasn't the emergency judge on duty,

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: so I think this requires a further investigation and legislation.

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: He's the chief judge and he inserted himself. That doesn't happen.

25
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: The emergency judges one hundred percent of the time get

26
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: those cases. So he was He could have been tipped

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: off that this was going to be filed, and while

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: on vacation he took the case. So again, this speaks

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: to I think the very aggressive, unusual and unprecedented measures

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: that these activist judges are taking to insert themselves. Ultimately,

31
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: they're not going to be right. The Supreme Court's going

32
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: to slap them down.

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Okay, look, I'll be honest with you, just you and

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: me talking. I'm in an absolutely terrible, terrible mood today,

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: so I am not going to go off on what

36
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: it probably means for the country that it took like

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: three months and a bunch of hoops to jump through

38
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: in order to justify legally deporting a bunch of barbarians

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the Biden administration brought in. I'm not even going to

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: go there, right now I'm going to focus on the

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Supreme Court because the vote today was interesting. You see,

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: it was five to four, and guess who voted against

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: us again and me, Cony Barrett. So just let's pause

44
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: on this and let's dwell on this for a moment.

45
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: A communist pose bird, he wears the judge's robes. He

46
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: has very obviously, it's obvious to anybody paying attention at all.

47
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: He has decided he's going to be the vanguard protecting

48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: the communist revolution from President Donald Trump. And so every

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: chance he's gotten, he is assumed the mantle of leadership

50
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: of the United States of America and stopped the lawful

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: things Donald Trump was doing. Anybody who's a reasonable actor

52
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: would look at this and say this is it's got

53
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: to be criminal. This is way over the top, this

54
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: can't be done. And yet Amy Coney Barrett sided against us. Why? Okay, well,

55
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about the why shall we? Amy Cony Barrett.

56
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know her personally, but I can't help but

57
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: think back to something she said during the confirmation hearing.

58
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: Remember when she said this about her family.

59
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: As I said, when I was nominated to serve as

60
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: a justice, I'm used to being in a group of nine.

61
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 3: My family. Nothing is more important to me, and I'm

62
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: very proud to have them behind me. The confirmation process

63
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: and the work of serving on the Court, if confirmed,

64
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: requires sacrifice, particularly from my family. I chose to accept

65
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: the nomination because I believe deeply in the role of

66
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: law and the place of the Supreme Court in our nation.

67
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: Right, you probably don't have any problem with what she

68
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: just said, and now they do. I She's a wife,

69
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: she's a mother, nothing more important than my family. Frankly,

70
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: I'd be disappointed if she didn't feel that way. She

71
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: feels that way. But this brings me back to a

72
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: topic we opened up the segment with the communists and

73
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: his love of violence, his unending love of violence. We

74
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: can look back on quote after quote after quote after

75
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: quote of communist leaders saying violence is necessary. They've never

76
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: once called for it to stop. In fact, they've repeatedly

77
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: encouraged their followers whatever country it takes holden to commit

78
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: acts of violence.

79
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 4: Revolution without and and.

80
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Now talking about all political power comes from the barrel

81
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: of a gun. Violence, violence, violence. This is programmed into them.

82
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: It's programmed into America's communists. I saw a poll this

83
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: morning that said fifty five percent of people on the

84
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: left think it's not a big deal if Donald Trump

85
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: gets assassinated. Assaults, violence, murder, vandalism. Why what is it

86
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: about communists that this just becomes second nature to them.

87
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: You've probably seen this, maybe you've even experienced this in

88
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: your life. Maybe you've been online or something like that

89
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: and you saw a Democrat, a leftist say something along

90
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: the lines of somebody should post his address, post his address.

91
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: What's that? Post his address, post her address. It's a

92
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: call for violence. You don't have to men's words. That's

93
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: what that is. It's a threat. It's a very obvious threat.

94
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: Somebody put up where this guy lives so we can

95
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: go threaten him. Maybe even why is this second nature

96
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to them? Because it's attactic, you see, it's planned. It's

97
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: why representatives like Jaya Powell speak like this.

98
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 5: We might call this getting strike ready. I think of

99
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 5: it as getting us strike ready or street ready. And

100
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 5: part of that is understanding our own strength, and as

101
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 5: we develop that strength, being able to assess our risk tolerance,

102
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 5: because we know that risk tolerance increases as the severity

103
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: of the situation increases, and as our own understanding of

104
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 5: what's happening increases. So overall, the more we understand what's effective,

105
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 5: what the risks are, and who's ready to participate, the

106
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: more impact we can have.

107
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: The strike ready portion of that's getting all the publicity.

108
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: You heard what you just said. That was a very

109
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: very academic, very proper way to say. Our strength is

110
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: in the mob of rabid street animals. We have at

111
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: our disposal, willingness to be arrested, to be punished by

112
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: the law.

113
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: That will determine what our strength is.

114
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: They don't have the office of the Presidency, they don't

115
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: have the Senate, they have they don't have the House,

116
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: but they do have a willingness to commit acts of violence,

117
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: and their leaders encourage them.

118
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 4: To do so. People like this savage.

119
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: My name is Gresa.

120
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: I am an immigrant.

121
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 6: I am a weird, not a shame.

122
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Could you even imagine if that animal came at you

123
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: outside of your weight class? Anyway, back to Amy Cony

124
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: Barrt Back to the communists. Why are they so in

125
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: love with violence? Why do they encourage it? Why do

126
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: they commit violent acts wherever they can get away with it?

127
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: Because of people like Amy Coney Barry. Because it works

128
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 1: on her. Here's what I believe. I believe Amy Coney

129
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Barrt is afraid. I believe she is a mother, a

130
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: wife with a family she adores, and that's good. That's

131
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: good for I want to be clear about that. That

132
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: is good. But the communist doesn't see that. In things

133
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: to himself, well, that's really good. The communist sees that,

134
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: and he sees an opportunity. So when Chuck Schumer is

135
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: out there giving speeches threatening justices with reaping the whirlwind,

136
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: when an assassin flies from California with a gun ready

137
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: to blow Brett Kavanaugh's head off, you may be mortified.

138
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: I may be mortified, But American Democrats sit back and

139
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: love it because they understand the threat of violence equals

140
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: political power for them. Why does the Supreme Court keep

141
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: getting wishy washy? Why do people like Amy Cony Beard

142
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: seem not on our side? Because Amy Coney Bart is afraid.

143
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: She has been made to be afraid, as any parent

144
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: is when they look at their children and think about

145
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: all the bad things that will happen to them. What

146
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: if Amy Cony barrd votes against the Communists?

147
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 4: What might they do? Well?

148
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: The Communists have said and shown repeated over and over

149
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: and over again. They will kill, it will hurt you.

150
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: It's why it was such an incredibly big deal. Do

151
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: you remember, Do you remember when the protests started happening

152
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: in front of the Supreme Court justices homes. That's platinly

153
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: against the law. By the way, it's against federal law.

154
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to intimidate federal the Supreme Court in

155
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: order to make rules. It's against It's a federal law.

156
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: For a reason. They don't want the communists to be

157
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: allowed to do that. So why did the Biden administration.

158
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 4: Allow that to happen.

159
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Why Because they knew full well that the threat of violence,

160
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: feeling physically afraid for yourself, your husband, your wife, your children,

161
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: your sister, your brother, your parents.

162
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: Is a benefit to them.

163
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: It is something they can always keep in their back

164
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: pocket and pull out when necessary. Now, they don't have

165
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: any power, including the Supreme Court.

166
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: But the power they do have, as you just heard

167
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: from Jaya Powell.

168
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: Is the willingness to commit acts of violence on behalf

169
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: of the revolution. And for weaklings like Amy Cony Barrett,

170
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: the pressure is simply too much. So she has to

171
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: sit at home and night. She knows what the right

172
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: thing to do is. She has to sit at home

173
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: at night when these ridiculous cases are laid on her desk,

174
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: and she's not sitting there thinking about what is legal,

175
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: what is lawful, what is constitutional. She's sitting there picturing

176
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: her children and saying to herself, what might happen to

177
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: them if I go a sprill. That's the kind of

178
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: country we have now. All that may have made you uncomfortable,

179
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: but I am right. We have a huge show for

180
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: you tonight, a gigantic show. Congressman Brandon gil has been

181
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: all over this stuff. We'll talk to him, and just

182
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: a moment before we get to him, you need to

183
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: remain unafraid. Chock chock will get a stack in your body.

184

Speaker 1: female vitality stack. You want to feel good, prepped, ready

00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: to go, strong and unafraid. You want to feel full

188

Speaker 1: that you're out of energy at three in the afternoon,

190
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,080

Speaker 4: We'll be back, Okay.

194
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: So I wanted to touch on something that I teased

195
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: it a little bit in the opening, but I just

196
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about something really quickly here when it

197
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: comes to deportations and things like that, and I say

198
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: something repeatedly, and I know you hate it when I

199
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: say it, but it's one hundred percent true if your interest,

200
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: and I assume it is the same as mine. That's

201
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: saving the country, right, saving and preserving a wonderful country

202
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: for our children and their children and their children after them,

203
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: for generations I will never meet. I want the same

204
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: country that I've enjoyed. I'm assuming you probably agree with

205
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: me on that. Right. If we want to save the

206
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: country long term, we must have a different Democrat party.

207
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: The Democrat Party must change, and that's hard for us

208
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: to talk about, and except because we don't have any

209
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: control over that. I'm not a Democrat and I never

210
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: will be. Unless you're one of the commedist who hate watches,

211
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: You're not a Democrat. You never will be.

212
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 4: But there's a great example of this.

213
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett's out there talking about illegals.

214
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 4: Here's what she said.

215
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 6: So I had to go around the country and educate

216
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 6: people about what immigrants do for this country or the

217
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 6: fact that we are a country of immigrants.

218
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Right.

219
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 6: The fact is, ain't none of y'all trying to go

220
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 6: in farm right now? Ok, raise your hands, you not?

221
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: You not?

222
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 6: We done picking cotton?

223
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: We are.

224
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 5: You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.

225
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: We done picking cotton.

226
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: She represents the Democrat Party today quite well. Keep all

227
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: the illegals here. And I mentioned in the opening, we

228
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: are what is the day today, April eighth, yep April eighth,

229
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: April eighth, and we are still having to jump through

230
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: this hoop and that hoop, and this hoop and that hoop.

231
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: And we're waiting on this ruling from the Supreme Court

232
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: and that rule. Why are we having to jump through

233
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: so many hoops? Because after spending four years bringing as

234
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: many rapists and murderers into your country as humanly possible,

235
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: every single Democrat, from judges to media people to elected people,

236
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: are trying to keep them here. It really doesn't matter

237
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: how great Trump is or how great the Senate is

238
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: or the House is or whatever. You can't survive long

239
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: term as a country. Sharing a country with people like this,

240
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: we can't deport them fast enough. Goodness says, we have

241
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: to bank on the Supreme Court stepping in and ruling

242
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: to allow us to deport the Venezuelan prison gang Joe

243
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Biden flew into the country. Think about that for a moment.

244
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: We have twenty million people to deport, and the worst,

245
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: absolute worst, the tiniest little sliver of that we are

246
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: having to jump through endless hoops and contort ourselves to

247
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: get them out.

248
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 4: We haven't even started with the other people.

249
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Cannot save a country unless Democrats change. It's what weighs

250
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: so heavy on my arm because I don't control them.

251
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: You don't control them. We can't fix it. You cannot

252
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: share a home with somebody trying to burn it down.

253
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: It doesn't work.

254
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: You may stop him once, twice, You may stop him

255
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: for a month, maybe a year. Eventually your home's going

256
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: to go up in flames. He can't share a country

257
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: with people like that. A reform Democrat party is a muster.

258
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: We can't save the place there. It's sad to share

259
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: that with you. I know we were supposed to have

260
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: Congressman Brendan Gill on the show. He flaked on us

261
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: right before. So I just felt like we should do

262
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: a little open Borders interview or open borders. That'll ramp.

263
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: So how about that? All right, let's talk about something else.

264
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about expense reports. Shall we?

265
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: Sucks, doesn't it? You have to do your expenses.

266
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: It's awful. Ramp knows that. Ramp came up with a

267
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: credit card. You see the Ramp corporate card. How much money?

268
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: How much time do you spend on expenses? Well, do

269
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: you have the receipt? I'm not really what category.

270
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 4: Is this one's stop living like that.

271
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Ramp dot com slash jesse is where you go and

272
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: you get a Ramp corporate card. It dolls all that

273
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: for you. Realize that it does all that for you.

274
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: You don't have to spend the time, you don't have

275
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: to spend the money. You don't have to We did

276
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: a board meeting. No more of that ramp dot com

277
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: slash jesse. We'll be back with China.

278
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 7: As you know, against my statement, they put a thirty

279
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 7: four percent tariff on above what their ridiculous tariffs were already.

280
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 7: We're putting a fifty percent tariff on above the tariffs

281
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 7: that we put on. We lose hundreds of billions of

282
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 7: dollars a year on trey to China. It's just not

283
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 7: gonna happen. And hopefully we'll get along with China. If

284
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 7: we do, that's greater. If we don't, that's okay, too right.

285
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: It's that serious about it. He's been serious about China

286
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: for a long time. Let's talk to Gordon about it.

287
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang knows more about China than anybody I know.

288
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: Author of a book it should probably be reading called

289
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: Plan Read.

290
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 4: Okay, Gordon.

291
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been hot on the Chinese issue for

292
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: a long time, and he's been speaking lately a lot

293
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: about how they're ripping us off. Can you give us

294
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: more depth on that? What does that mean? How are

295
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: they ripping us off? What are they doing?

296
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 8: They're running persistent merchandise trade surpluses against the US. So,

297
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 8: for instance, last year, the merchandise trade surplus that China

298
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 8: had was two hundred and ninety five point four billion dollars.

299
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 8: That was up something like five point eight percent from

300
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 8: twenty twenty three. And this is the result of predatory

301
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 8: trade practices but also criminal acts. So China's been stealing

302
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 8: hundreds of billions of dollars of US intellectual property each year,

303
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 8: perhaps as much as half trillion dollars annually. And so, yes,

304
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 8: President Trump is right, they've been ripping us off.

305
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: Can you elaborate a little bit more on stealing intellectual

306
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: property because people don't understand how giganic this issue is

307
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and how pervasive China is when it comes to it.

308
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: It's like a national pastime over there. Yes.

309
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 8: Just to give you an example, Deep Seek, which is

310
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 8: the Chinese open Ai platform. They trained their large language

311
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 8: model by chat GPT four and by doing so, they

312
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 8: violated open AIS terms of service. That's a US company,

313
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 8: and this has implications because deep Seek looks like a

314
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 8: Chinese Chinese government lab project, even though it's supposed to

315
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 8: be a private company. The claims that they made for

316
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 8: deep Seek, which were intended to injure the United States,

317
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 8: those claims appear to be false. But what they're trying

318
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 8: to do is to destroy American business and they do

319
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 8: it very well, and they take intellectual property in so

320
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 8: many different ways. But this is pervasive and it's going

321
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 8: on over the course of decades.

322
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: Okay, Gordon, what's China's financial situation like and I asked,

323
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: because it's clear, at least from their rhetoric over there,

324
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: that they're not going to back off on this little

325
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: trade war dust up thing. They're going to engage. But

326
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: their economy isn't exactly going gangbusters either, is it.

327
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 8: No, they reported five point zero percent growth for twenty

328
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 8: twenty four. That was an obvious exaggeration. It was probably

329
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 8: about one or one and a half percent. There's been

330
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 8: an obvious deterioration between then and now, so China's probably

331
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 8: around zero. But even if China were growing at five zero,

332
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 8: it would not be growing fast enough to pay back

333
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 8: all the debt that China's accumulated, especially since two thousand

334
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 8: and eight. And if you want to put this in

335
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 8: simple terms, I think that China's experiencing its two thousand

336
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 8: and eight now. The reason why this is so critical

337
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 8: for China is because C. Jimping has turned his back

338
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 8: on consumption as the fundamental basis of the Chinese economy,

339
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 8: which means his only way out of a serious situation

340
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 8: is to export more. And President Trump, with his tariffs

341
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 8: that have gone into effect today and before now, has

342
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 8: on more than one hundred percent tariff rate on Chinese goods.

343
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 8: That means shutting off the US market for many, if

344
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 8: not most, of China's products.

345
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Gordon, could you elaborate what that means for the

346
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: American consumer? There are people understandably nervous right now, having

347
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: a hard time making ends meet and thinking about the

348
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: prospect of everything in their life getting more expensive.

349
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's certainly it's going to get a little bit

350
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 8: more expensive, but not to the extent that people think.

351
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 7: So.

352
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 8: For instance, in twenty eighteen, when Trump put his first

353
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 8: round of elevated China tariffs in place, China picked up

354
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 8: somewhere between seventy five to eighty one percent of the

355
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 8: cost of those tariffs to various means through weakening currency,

356
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 8: through increased subsidies, So American consumers didn't feel that. Now

357
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 8: this time, China has more incentive to pay for Trump's tariffs,

358
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 8: and they're starting to do that again by allowing the

359
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 8: remn B to go to lower levels, but also by

360
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 8: increased subsidies to exporters to the US. Ultimately, you know,

361
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 8: at one hundred and four or one hundred and fifteen

362
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 8: percent tariff level, American consumers will feel some of it.

363
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 8: But we got to remember that tariffs at those levels

364
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 8: redirect trade to other countries where the tariff rates aren't

365
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 8: so high. So I don't think the American consumer is

366
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 8: going to notice it, and in any event, it's not

367
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 8: going to be substantial.

368
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: Okay, What other countries? And this is a completely loaded question,

369
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: because China controls a lot of other countries.

370
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 8: What other countries want?

371
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: What other countries? Where's the trade going to go? Meaning

372
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: is they going to drive it into a country? Yeah?

373
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, basically everywhere. So you're talking Bangladesh, Vietnam, maybe India, Mexico,

374
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 8: a lot of other different places, Central America, especially if

375
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 8: we trade, if we amend our trade agreement with the region.

376
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 8: These are places where there's low cost and manufacturing and

377
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 8: countries that are not nearly as hostile to the US

378
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 8: as China is. So if you were to go let's

379
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 8: say fifteen years ago, and you were to go to

380
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 8: a Walmart and look at where their apparel was made,

381
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 8: it was almost all China. If you went there like

382
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 8: about five to seven, maybe even ten years ago, it

383
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 8: was almost not at all China. And we're going to

384
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 8: see the same thing for a lot of other products

385
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 8: as these tariffs are put in place. Which encourage countries

386
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 8: to move their supply chains to different locations.

387
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: Okay, so countries like Vietnam. Vietnam is a communist country,

388
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: China is a communist country. Vietnam has shown a willingness

389
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: already to work with us, at least they've talked about that.

390
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: But I would assume China is going to have some

391
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: say so in that.

392
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 8: Well, China will have some say so because a lot

393
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 8: of the new factories in Vietnam are actually Chinese owned.

394
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 8: But you know, Vietnam, although it is a communist country,

395
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 8: is quite friendly to the United States, and so Vietnam

396
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 8: has its own issues with China which are in many

397
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 8: ways more serious than ours. So and in fact, Vietnam

398
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 8: is a friend of the United States because we both

399
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 8: have a common enemy. And when we all look at it,

400
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 8: these other places are going to be much better for us,

401
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 8: especially for countries that are close to us. So if

402
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 8: we're talking about countries in our region, this is a

403
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 8: win for the United States from many different perspectives, because

404
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 8: not only do we get factories out of our enemy China,

405
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 8: but we also put them in places where our supply

406
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 8: chains are much shorter. And by the way, for people

407
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 8: who are worried about climate change. That's a really good

408
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 8: thing to have a factory in Mexico rather than on

409
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 8: the other side of the Pacific.

410
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not worried about climate change at all.

411
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 7: Though.

412
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about militaries. Trump said this.

413
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 7: China is a massive surplus that they take and they

414
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 7: spend on their military.

415
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 4: Well, we don't want that.

416
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 7: I don't want them to take five hundred six hundred

417
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 7: billion dollars a year and spend it on their military.

418
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Gordon. How strong is China's military? Not where it's going,

419
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: but where is it? I know they put a lot

420
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: of attack subs in the water. I know they're building

421
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: up in navy. I know they're supposedly building up in

422
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: amphibious for US. Everyone thinks that's about Taiwan. I'm sure

423
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: it probably is. But where are they compared to US?

424
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 8: China's military, even though for instance, navy is larger, and

425
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 8: despite all the real problems in the American Navy and

426
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 8: Air Force, their military is not nearly as capable as ours.

427
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 8: But remember, if it's a war in Taiwan or the

428
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 8: Philippines or Japan, they're a lot closer, and their supply

429
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 8: chains are a lot supply lines are a lot shorter

430
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 8: than ours. The problem that with the Chinese military two

431
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 8: of them. First of all, the Chinese military right now

432
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 8: is fighting with itself. We see these purges and counter purges,

433
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 8: and it appears that the enemies of Sigimping are purging

434
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 8: Sie Jimping's loyalists at the top of the Chinese military,

435
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 8: which means that that military is a mess. But even

436
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 8: in the best of times when they're not trying to

437
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 8: kill each other, China's got a communist military, which means

438
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 8: it's got two separate reporting lines, one political, one military,

439
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 8: and the political one is more important, and that's no

440
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 8: way to run a war. China will do very well

441
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 8: well in the first week of war because everything's been

442
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 8: played out, nobody has any discretion. It all goes according

443
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 8: to plan more or less. But the problem for China

444
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 8: is the second week of war when they are attacked,

445
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 8: because that type of military is not flexible and cannot

446
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 8: make the decisions that are necessary to react to an attack.

447
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: Gordon, I know it's kind of a nerdy wonky military detail,

448
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: but it matters. What do we know about their officer corps.

449
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: Are they capable sharp. You make it sound like it looked.

450
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: Sounds like a standard communist army where everyone's too afraid

451
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: to put peanut butter on a cracker, so no one

452
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: can make a decision.

453
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 4: What are they.

454
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 8: Well, they've been rehearsing a lot, as we've seen with these,

455
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 8: for instance, exercises off Taiwan, which look like rehearsals for war.

456
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 8: So they're very good at low level provocations. But I

457
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 8: don't think that they are ready right now to launch

458
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 8: hostilities with an invasion of the main island Taiwan. And

459
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 8: there are a number of reasons for that. First of all,

460
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 8: their officer corps at the top is not unified. But

461
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 8: there's another reason, and that is if Siegimping were to

462
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 8: launch a major operation, he'd have to give some general

463
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 8: or admiral almost complete control over the Chinese military, which

464
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 8: makes that flag officer the most powerful person in China.

465
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 8: Even in the best of times. Siegimping is not willing

466
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 8: to do that, and he's certainly not willing to do

467
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 8: it now where the large portions of the military are

468
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 8: opposed to him. So it's got a lot of tanks,

469
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 8: it's got a lot of ships, a lot of planes,

470
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 8: it's got some weapons that we don't have, like Harperson

471
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 8: and cruise missiles. But the point is that the Officer

472
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 8: Corps I don't think is ready to go to war.

473
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 8: Remember these guys have not gone to war since nineteen

474
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 8: seventy nine. And in nineteen seventy nine Vietnam, which we

475
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 8: just talked about, Vietnam kicked China's first string military and

476
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 8: humiliated it with Vietnam's third string. That shows you that

477
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 8: China is not really that good.

478
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: Oh well, that's inspiring. Are they going to take Taiwan?

479
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 8: I don't think that they're going to launch an invasion

480
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 8: within one of the main island of Taiwan, But that

481
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 8: doesn't mean the Chinese military won't be fighting in Taiwan.

482
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 8: And the reason is that I think that there could

483
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 8: very well be a low level provocation in places such

484
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 8: as the South China. See that spiral out of control.

485
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 8: I don't think Cjon pain can control escalation. And once

486
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 8: a war starts someplace, and it can be any place,

487
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 8: it will spread throughout the entire region because America and

488
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 8: its friends will all gang up, and China will then

489
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 8: bring in Russia and North Korea. You are going to

490
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 8: have regionwide war if it starts someplace. Remember C Jmping

491
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 8: has configured his political system so that only the most

492
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 8: belligerent answers are considered acceptable, which means they can't be

493
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 8: able to deal with an incident. So that's the reason

494
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 8: why I think it's a small provocation that spirals into

495
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 8: a major war, not C Jmping waking up someday and

496
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 8: saying I'm invading Japan.

497
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: Gordon, we appreciate your wisdom as always.

498
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.

499
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: All right, speaking of.

500
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: One event leading to another, Are we going to invade Iran?

501
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Are we going to bomb I

502
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: don't know. Let's talk to Lee Smith about that next.

503
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Before we talk to Lee Smith, let me talk to

504
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: you about peer talk. We need to stop funding the

505
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: people who hate us, and we need to stop assuming

506
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: that that culture war has been one, because it has

507
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: not been one, not by a long shot. You see,

508
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: we have to stop funding people who hate us. And

509
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: Verizon hate your guts AT and T hates you. TEAMO

510
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: will hate you. Pure Talk loves you. Pure Talk is

511
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: the patriotic cell phone company. Their CEO did two tours

512
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: in Vietnam. They're so pro America. They hire Americans. When

513
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: you speak to them at pure Talk, they speak English.

514
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: It's glorious. Same network too, you don't sacrifice service. It's

515
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: easy to switch Puretalk dot com, slash Jesse TV. We'll

516
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: be back.

517
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 9: We're having direct talks with Iran. Doing a deal would

518
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 9: be preferable to doing the obvious. And the obvious is

519
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 9: not something that I want to be involved with, or

520
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 9: frankly that is your wants to be involved with if

521
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 9: they can avoid it. So we're going to see it.

522
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 9: We avoid it, but it's getting to be very dangerous territory.

523
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 9: And hopefully those talks will be successful, and I think

524
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 9: it would be intern's best interest if they are successful.

525
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 9: We hope, we hope that's going to happen.

526
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't exactly take a member of MENSA to

527
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: read between the lines on that. Joining me now, he

528
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: probably is part of MENSA. Lee Smith, my friend, author,

529
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: wonderful writer. Okay, Lee apparently of MENA.

530
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 10: But but but thank you, Okay, a member of anything

531
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 10: no one? No one wants to be in their clubs,

532
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 10: definitely not ments.

533
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: Well, what's going on with Iran. Let's set the stage

534
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: for me. What's happening here.

535
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 10: Well, I think the President has made it pretty clear

536
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 10: that that Iron's not gonna have a bomb, and he

537
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 10: says that, you know, he says that he'd much prefer

538
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 10: that Iran abandoned its nuclear project through negotiations. But they're

539
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 10: not going to have a bomb one way or another.

540
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 10: And he's given them pretty clear options. Either Iran is

541
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 10: going to wind up back in the Stone Age he's

542
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 10: going to bomb them so much, or they're going to

543
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 10: give it up through negotiations. But I do not believe.

544
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 10: I think again, Trump has been very clear. I don't

545
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 10: think we're going to see fake negotiations or a fake

546
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 10: deal like Barack Obama's fake nuclear deal and twenty fifteen.

547
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 10: I don't think we're going to say anything like that.

548
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 10: So he's been very clear, right, not just about Iran

549
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 10: but North Korea. Nuclear weapons are bad, nuclear weapons are

550
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 10: really dangerous. We don't want this. What did he say

551
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 10: when Biden warned the Israelis not to retaliate after a

552
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 10: missile strike. You know, when Biden said, yeah, don't hit

553
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 10: their nuclear facilities, Trump was perplexed. He said, don't hit

554
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 10: their new facilities. That's exactly what you want to go after, right,

555
00:32:55,280 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 10: so Trump is the president, has been extremely straightforward. There

556
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 10: are two options going forward for Iran, whether they give

557
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 10: up the program through negotiations or they lose it through

558
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 10: something else.

559
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: Okay, before we get to how a war like that

560
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: would shake out, can you help me understand as best

561
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: you can lead Iran's perspective on this on why they

562
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't just make a deal. Right, They're economically not in

563
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 1: great shape. They're forced to work with countries like Russia

564
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: which are not as reliable.

565
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: You know, Trump, because he's Trump.

566
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: Is going to sweeten the pot of this deal and

567
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: make it, will make it financially beneficial.

568
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 4: Why not just do it?

569
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: Well?

570
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 10: Because they want the they want their nuclear weapons program.

571
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 10: I mean, this has been an Iranian project for decades.

572
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 10: So it's very important to them. Because the crucial thing

573
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 10: to understand here is we talk a lot about Israel,

574
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 10: we talk a lot about Saudi Arabia, and Iran's enmity

575
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 10: toward both of these powers, which happen to be US allies.

576
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 10: The big deal here since nineteen seventy nine is Iran's

577
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 10: project is to drive the United States out of the

578
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 10: Persian Gulf. That's the big deal, right, it's not about

579
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 10: Israel primarily, it's not about Saudi Arabia. It's about the

580
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 10: United States because the Persian Gulf is considered an American

581
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 10: leg right. The amount of energy that goes through that

582
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 10: goes through that vital waterway. Now I know that while

583
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 10: we're not exactly energy and dependent we are, we are

584
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 10: not tied down the way we were, say twenty years ago,

585
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 10: by Persian golf energy. Nonetheless, it's extremely important the President

586
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 10: recognizes this, and that's not only why he's close to

587
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 10: the close to the government of Israel, but also the

588
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 10: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Remember this was his first his

589
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 10: first foreign trip in twenty seventeen, during his first term.

590
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 10: He realizes how important the Persian golf is to American prosperity,

591
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 10: and how important and keeping stability and that part of

592
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 10: the world is to American prosperity. So this is the

593
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 10: major issue for the United States. And the reason that

594
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 10: that nuclear weapons program is so important for Iran is

595
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 10: so that Iran has leverage to destabilize that part of

596
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 10: the world. Iran can make these threats and it's very

597
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 10: different Iranian terror groups whether they're in Lebanon, whether they're

598
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 10: in Gaza, whether in the West Bank, whether they're in Rock,

599
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 10: whether they're to the extent they still exist in Syria,

600
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 10: it's very different when they're operating under a nuclear umbrella.

601
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 10: So this is why the nuclear weapons program has been

602
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 10: so important for the Islamic Republic for many decades. Now

603
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 10: Donald Trump is saying, okay, En, it's not going to happen.

604
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 10: Nuclear weapons are bad all around, and they're especially bad

605
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 10: in the hands and bad guys like you. Just to

606
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 10: put it in and a little bit more context, I

607
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 10: think it's important remember that this was the classical American

608
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 10: position until Barack Obama. Right, not just about Iran. The

609
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 10: United States has historically been against nuclear proliferation, whether it

610
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 10: was with Israel, whether it was Taiwan, all these different powers,

611
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 10: allied powers that wanted to have a nuclear weapons program,

612
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 10: and the US was against it. It was Barack Obama

613
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 10: who said, well, let's make a deal with the Iranians

614
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 10: over their nuclear weapons program that effectively legalizes their nuclear

615
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 10: weapons program and puts it under the protection of an

616
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 10: international agreement backed by the United States of America. So

617
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 10: what Trump is doing here is not something radical. What

618
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 10: Trump is doing is restoring American policy and American non

619
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 10: proliferation policy to the way it's always been until Barack Obama.

620
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: Lee, if these negotiations go poorly, and I mean, feel

621
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: free to shoot me down on this, it seems obvious

622
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: that they could easily go.

623
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 4: Very, very poorly.

624
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: What would be the goal of joint strikes against Iran?

625
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: Are we talking regime change? Because you'll have to forgive me,

626
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: I'm out on that. It never seems to work out.

627
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: Even though I hate the Ayah Tolas as much as

628
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: say anyone else, that never works for us.

629
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 4: What would be the goal of it?

630
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, the goal is to eliminate the Iranian

631
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 10: the Iranian nuclear program, and these are in specific sites.

632
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 10: They have a pretty good idea where everything is. And look, Jesse,

633
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 10: I mean that this this ruling regime is is very weak.

634
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 10: And just because the regime falls doesn't mean that the

635
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 10: United States is responsible for picking up the pieces. So

636
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 10: what the Bush administration want George W. Bush wanted to

637
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 10: do an Iraq in Afghanistan is very different from the

638
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 10: fact that you know, brittle regimes fall and some of

639
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 10: the times US actions, US actions, though not intentionally, will

640
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 10: nonetheless bring them down. I mean, let's talk about the

641
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 10: tariff regime right now, right, I mean what the United

642
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 10: States and what Donald Trump wanted in it first term

643
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 10: and what Donald Trump wants now from the Chinese are

644
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 10: no more currency manipulation, right, no more theft of US

645
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 10: intellectual property, no more forced technology transfers from American companies

646
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 10: even at the trade deficit. Now, what are these? These

647
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 10: are vital for the survival of the Chinese Communist Party.

648
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 10: And if Trump says no, sorry, unless you're going to

649
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 10: do that, we don't have a deal, and we're going

650
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 10: to keep the tariffs on you, and we don't care

651
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 10: how much pain it puts on you. What happens if

652
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 10: that brittle regime? What happens if that brittle regime breaks?

653
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 10: And again the fact that they will not make a

654
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 10: deal over this. The Chinese didn't make a deal during

655
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 10: Trump's first term over this, what if they don't do

656
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 10: it over the second during the second term as well.

657
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 10: So there's a lot of brittle regimes around the world

658
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 10: that the United States deals with. And it's not as

659
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 10: if the United States has to be responsible for picking

660
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 10: up the pieces of the Chinese Communists. Already an adversarial

661
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 10: regime that has hounded Americans for the last half century plus.

662
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: No doubt it's been gosh seventy years. Well, speaking of

663
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: hostile regimes, let's switch gears and go to Ukraine Russia.

664
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: We now have a story out Ryan Routh, the would

665
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: be Trump assassin Numero Dos. He was apparently out there

666
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: trying to buy rocket launchers. And look, Lee, I don't

667
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: want to run with internet rumors, but some very reliable

668
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: people were out there talking about how this guy was

669
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: able to get people papers as he was recruiting for

670
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian military. At the same time, He's on a

671
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: golf course ready to blow Donald Trump's head off. Lee.

672
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 4: This thing looks ugly.

673
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 10: Well, I'm hopeful that the new that the new leadership

674
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 10: at the FBI are our you know, are our friends,

675
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 10: people that we admire and respect a tremendous amount. We

676
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 10: hope that the uh Cash Bettel Dan Bongino, director and

677
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 10: deputy director. We certainly hope that they get to the

678
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 10: bottom of this and find out what was going on.

679
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 10: And we still want to know exactly. We want some

680
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 10: more details. We have some more details. We want the

681
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 10: details on what happened at bilber Pennsylvania and why this

682
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 10: entire episode was buried almost immediately. We understand about ongoing investigations,

683
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 10: but you know, we'd still like to have some sort

684
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 10: of sense of what's going on here. And so this

685
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 10: is another story, the Ryan Routh story, something else we

686
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 10: need to know more about.

687
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would actually be nice to know some details

688
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: about the fact that the president was shot in the

689
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: head and someone all goes killed him on the golf course,

690
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: and we don't know Bubkiss at this point in time. Lee,

691
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: thank you, my friend, as always appreciated. Light the mood. Next,

692
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: all right, it is time to lighten the mood. And

693
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: let me just say really quickly before we get to

694
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: jd Vance and its mother, that I know a lot

695
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: of people struggle with addiction, addictions of various things. Addiction

696
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: is one of these things that plagues human beings. It

697
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: just does. And maybe you have struggled, maybe you are

698
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: struggling with it, whatever it is, drugs, alcohol, I don't know,

699
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: whatever it is.

700
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 4: I'm not your priest. You don't have to tell me.

701
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: But I just want to encourage you that you can

702
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: keep struggling and when eventually it feels insurmountable at times,

703
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: I know it does feels like you'll never get out

704
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: of it. You can get out of it. Jd Vance's

705
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: mother is actually a wonderful example this. Remember when he

706
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: said this at the RNC.

707
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 11: And I'm proud to say that tonight my mom is here,

708
00:41:49,040 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 11: ten years clean and sober. I love you, Mama, And

709
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 11: you know, Mom, I was thinking, it'll be ten years

710
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 11: officially in January of twenty twenty five, and if President

711
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 11: Trump's okay with it, let's have the celebration in the

712
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 11: White House.

713
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: Turns out President Trump was okay with it, and jd

714
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: Vance made good on the promise to his mother, celebrating

715
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: her and her ten years of sobriety at the White House.

716
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 4: It's pretty cool.

717
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: And let it serve as an inspiration to you. You

718
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: don't have to be the mother of the Vice president

719
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: to overcome. Just keep struggling even if you fail today.

720
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: If you're struggling, you're winning. You'll get there, all right,

721
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: Seitable
