But rest assured there is a long term 54 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 3: plan here. Secretary Rubio and the entire team are working 55 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: diligently on it. And this is just sort of the 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: first action that you all are seeing. 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 6: Ed. 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 5: Thanks. 59 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 7: So in order to get these oil companies to invest in. 60 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 8: Venezuela, how will the US reassure that their workers will 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 8: be safe in Venezuela because there'll be troops so well. 62 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: At this point in time, as you know, there are 63 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 3: no troops on the ground in Venezuela. The President, of course, 64 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: reserves the right to use the United States military if necessary, 65 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 3: it's not something he wants to do. Diplomacy is always 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: the first option. As you saw, he tried that with 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 3: Nicholas Maduro, but unfortunately he was an illegitimate dictator and 68 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: an unserious person, and so President Trump authorized this law 69 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: enforcement operation. And now Nicholas Maduro is sitting in a 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: prison cell in New York. So certainly the President is 71 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: going to do what's in the best interests of the 72 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: American people, and that includes workers from our energy and 73 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: oil industry. 74 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 7: As meeting tomorrow. 75 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 9: With that meeting tomorrow, what is the message the president 76 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 9: is going to give to the oil executives and what 77 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 9: does it. 78 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 10: Want to hear? 79 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: Well, the meeting is on Friday, and it's just a 80 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: meeting to discuss, obviously the immense opportunity that is before 81 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: these oil companies right now. 82 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 11: Stephen than Caroline and congratulations again, thank you.

Would you be able to discuss the 88 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 11: vice president's role in venzuel Polsey. 89 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: I did see that report in the New Yorker, and 90 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 3: quite frankly, I laughed out loud because it's very clear 91 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: it's a fake report that's trying to so distrust in 92 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: division amongst the president and his team. Let me just 93 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 3: be very clear, if the vice president has been involved 94 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: in all policy, he is the right hand man of 95 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: the president on all policy matters, including Venezuela policy. He 96 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: was of course read in and deeply involved in this 97 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: operation from the very beginning, and he was present on 98 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 3: the night of the operation via secure communication at a 99 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: different location as to not damage the operational secrecy of 100 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: this mission that was so incredibly important to ensure that 101 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: this mission could be carried out successfully without endangering our troops. 102 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 12: Sure, every day there is a battle for your mind, 103 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 12: raging information coming from every angle, but the will to 104 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 12: the sieve, fear not. You found the place for truth, 105 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 12: the voice of a generation that still has the will 106 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 12: to believe in the greatest country in the history of 107 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 12: the world. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot, 108 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 12: here we go a lot. 109 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 13: All right, Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It is 110 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 13: January seventh. Lots going on. We are going to throw 111 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 13: right here at the top to the press conference that 112 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 13: Caroline Levitt is leading and the White House Press briefing room. 113 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 13: It's the first one since the deposition of Maduro in Venezuela. 114 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 13: So we're actually getting a lot of information. Let's go 115 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 13: ahead and throw back to Caroline. 116 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 3: Lovit advocated for in twenty twenty, Chuck Schumer said that 117 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: at the time President Trump had not brought an end 118 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: today and more in trench today than it was when 120 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: the President began. Now you hear Chuck Schumer out there 121 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: saying this is reckless. The American people and the Venezuelan 122 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: people should be in fear. But this is something that 123 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer has long advocated for. Senator Chris van Holland 124 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 3: same thing, had said that the United States is going 125 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: to use its leverage and influence to push for negotiations 126 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: to transition to the truly elected leader. This was under 127 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: President Biden. We know Maduro and his cronies don't want 128 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: to go quietly into the night. The US needs to 129 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: work to ratchet up the pressure. 130 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 7: Now. 131 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: Senator Holland says it's an illegal act of war to 132 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: get rid of Nicholas Maduro. So the hypocrisy is really 133 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: astounding here, and thank you for giving me an opportunity 134 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: to point it out. 135 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 14: Kaelin, I mean sorry, go ahead, Yes, their report of 136 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 14: the administration is demanding that Venezuela cut ties with China, Russia. 137 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 15: I ran in Cuba. 138 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: Can you confirm, I'm sorry, it reports that the administration 139 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: has essentially demanded that Venezuela cut ties with China, Russia. 140 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: Iran in Cuba, can you confirm that? 141 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: Well, those alleged demands were made in a classified briefing 142 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: by Secretary Rubio, And I know that there's a lot 143 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: of leaks coming out of these classified briefings, So I'm 144 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 3: not going to confirm or deny or get into what 145 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: the Secretary has set in classified settings to members of Congress. 146 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: But I think that the administration has made it quite 147 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: clear to the interim authorities in Venezuela that this is 148 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: the Western Hemisphere and American dominance is going to continue 149 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: under this president Aska. 150 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 16: There have also been. 151 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 15: Reports that the US could potentially buy Greenland is as 152 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 15: one potential. 153 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: Option on the table. 154 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: What would such an offer look like? 155 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 14: Is there anything monetarily you could provide a detailed there. 156 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: Well, that's something that's currently being actively discussed by the 157 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: President and his national security team. And I would point 158 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: out that the acquisition of Greenland by the United States 159 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 3: is not a new idea. This is something that presidents 160 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: dating back to the eighteen hundreds have said is advantageous 161 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: for America's national security. The President has been very open 162 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: and clear with all of you and with the world 163 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: that he've used it in the best interests of the 164 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: United States to deter Russian and Chinese aggression in the 165 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: Arctic region. And so that's why his team is currently 166 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: talking about what a potential purchase would look like. 167 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 17: Chuckie Caroline Greenland. 168 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 14: Why not rule out taking it by military force. 169 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: I know that past presidents and past leaders have often 170 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: ruled things out. They've often been very open about ruling 171 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: things in and basically broadcasting their foreign policy strategy to 172 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: the rest of the world, not just to our allies, 173 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: but most egregiously to our adversaries. That's not something this 174 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: president does. All options are always on the table for 175 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: President Trump as he examines what's in the best interests 176 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: of the United States. But I will just say that 177 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: the President's first option always has been diplomacy. Again, look 178 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 3: at Venezuela. He tried ardently to strike a good deal 179 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: with Nicholas Maduro and he told him, I will use 180 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: the United States military and you will not like it 181 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: if you don't take such a deal. And look at 182 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: what happened with respect to Iran. The President said the 183 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: same thing, right, he try to have serious interest and 184 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: then a deal with the Iranian regime with respect to 185 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: their nuclear capabilities. They were not interested, and so Operation 186 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 3: Midnight Hammer happened, which was another remarkable military success under 187 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: the leadership of this commander in chief. So the President 188 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: keeps his options open, but diplomacy is always the first. 189 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 14: Quickly, just one additional call, emplament, does the President recognize 190 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 14: Denmark's ownership as part of the Kingdom, Because there have 191 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 14: been some Republican senators questioning the claim that Denmark has 192 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 14: to Greenland. Is the President in that camp with them, 193 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 14: you know, questioning the legality. 194 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 3: Of I have not heard him question it personally, but 195 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: you're welcome to ask yourself next time you have the chance. 196 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: And it's lifted for Venezuela. 197 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 14: We've got to lift some sanctions to let the oil 198 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 14: come in. 199 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 18: Can you talk about that just very brief. 200 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so the US is selectively rolling back sanctions to 201 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: enable the transport and the sale of Venezuelan crude and 202 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: oil products to the global markets. 203 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 5: Yes, Annie, thank you that there are some reports from 204 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 5: Venezuela that the country's leaders are cracking down on the population, 205 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 5: specifically suppressing public expression of support from Maduro's ouster. Is 206 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 5: that kind of behavior consistent with what the president wants 207 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 5: to see, how the president wants to see the leaders 208 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 5: take on the population. 209 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: It would not be consistent. And I'll let the President's 210 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: national security team speak further on that. I know they 211 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 3: are well aware and tracking. 212 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 18: Kelly, two questions, One on the c's vests, the villa 213 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 18: of the SOFIA.

And any's question if I 217 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 18: can also ask, does the administration believe that the interim 218 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 18: receive should release all political dissidents and prisoners and return 219 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 18: to tainted Americans. 220 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: That's not a question that I've personally spoken about to 221 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: the President with so I will let him answer that question. 222 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 3: I don't want to make new policy at this podium today. 223 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: With respect to Venezuela. With respect to the two ships 224 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: that you mentioned, I spoke with you about the Bella one. 225 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: There was another vessel this morning, the Sofia, that in 226 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 3: coordination with the Department of War, the Department of Homeland 227 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 3: Security apprehended it. This is a stateless sanctioned dark fleet 228 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 3: motor tanker and this occurred without incident. This vessel was 229 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 3: operating in international waters and conducting illicit activities in the 230 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: Caribbean Sea. The US Coast Guard is escorting the Sofia 231 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: to the United States for final disposition. To answer your question, 232 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 3: Kelly directly, this was through Operation Southern Spear. The Department 233 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 3: of War is unwavering in its mission to rush illicit 234 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: activity in the Western Hemisphere, and as the President has 235 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 3: repeatedly stated, We're going to defend our homeland and restore 236 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: security and strength across the Americas.

You repeatedly 240 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 20: at the podium called the current leadership in Venezuelan interim leadership. 241 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 20: There are Republicans and Demrograts alike that say they want 242 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 20: to see elections in Venezuela. The President had said is 243 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 20: too soon to do that right now. But is there 244 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 20: a timeline for elections in Venezuela as he committed to 245 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 20: seeing that busy year? 246 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 2: For example, you. 247 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: Just said the President has answered that question. So I 248 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 3: will reiterate what the President has said a few times 249 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 3: now to all of you, which is that it's too 250 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 3: prematurture and too early to dictate a timetable for elections 251 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: in Venezuela right now. 252 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 20: Carolina, You've just talked to Jackie about diplomacy first, right, 253 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 20: the Days have repeatedly said they are willing to collaborate 254 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 20: on all of the concerns that the President has, whether 255 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 20: it's more truths, mineral rights, intelligence sharing. Why does the 256 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 20: President feel he needs to own Greenland and not out 257 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 20: the threat of military action when this could be done 258 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 20: through through deplomacy. 259 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 3: Well, who said diplomacy isn't taking place behind the scenes, Stasha. 260 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: I mean the President is interested in diplomacy. The National 261 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: security team is as well, and of course he's always 262 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: willing to pick up the phone for everybody and hear 263 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 3: out they're concerned. But the president is the president of 264 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: the United States of America and he's always going to 265 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 3: be very clear about what he's views as being in 266 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: our nation's best interest. 267 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 21: Reagan, Thanks, Carolyn, I have a torture for you in Venezuela, 268 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 21: and then I'd love to ask you about Minnesota and 269 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 21: Tim Walls. Sure on Venezuela, I'm wondering does the administration 270 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 21: hope to start sending more Venezuelan migrants back home or 271 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 21: have themself or if the situation of the country. 272 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: And Bruce, as far as I'm concerned, the policies of 273 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 3: the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security have 274 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 3: not changed. All those illegally present in the country are 275 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: subject to deportation. 276 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 22: And I would just like to add how we got here. 277 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 3: The President was very clear on the campaign to the 278 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: American public, and it's one of the many reasons they 279 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 3: resoundingly re elected him back to this office that he 280 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: was not only going to crush foreign drug cartels, but 281 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 3: that he was not going to stand by and watch 282 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: as the illegitimate Venezuelan regime was sending illegal criminals and 283 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: gang members and rapists and murderers to our country, which 284 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 3: happened to the tune of thousands under the previous administration 285 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: in President and so there could be nothing more America 286 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: first than this operation that took place last week. And 287 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: I would just remind all of you in this room 288 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: that there were innocent Americans like Jocelyn Nungere who lost 289 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: their lives at the hands of dangerous Venezuelan criminals who 290 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: were sent here by the Maduro regime. And that has 291 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: been the President's north star and guiding principle throughout his 292 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: entire policy since January twentieth, Minnesota. 293 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 21: Does the administration believe that Tim Walls potentially dropped out. 294 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 23: Of the governor's race be gang by taking control of 295 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 23: Framelight for the US doesn't already have access. 296 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: To Gym right now, more control over the Arctic region 297 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: and ensuring that China and Russia and our adversaries cannot 298 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: continue their aggression in this very important and strategic region, 299 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 3: and there would be many other benefits as well, that 300 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 3: again the President and his national security team are currently 301 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: talking about. Jeff, I'll give you another one abroad first, 302 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: and that question. 303 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 19: On Wan Rolsey. Are you concerned about increasing tensions with Russia. 304 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: Because of the tanker and seizures, And. 305 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 24: How does the US action in Venezuela impact the ongoing 306 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 24: relationship with China and the President's relationship with President she. 307 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 3: I think the President has very open, honest and good 308 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: relationships with both President Putin and Russia, and also President 309 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 3: she of China. He has spoken with them numerous times, 310 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 3: as you know, since coming to office about a year ago. 311 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: And I leave that those personal relationships are going to continue. 312 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: But as for the President in the United States, he's 313 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: going to enforce our policy that's best for the United 314 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: States of America. And with respect to these ships teizers, 315 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: that means enforcing the embargo against all dark fleet vessels 316 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 3: that are illegally transporting oil and only legitimate commerce. To 317 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 3: answer your question much earlier, Rachel determined by the United 318 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: States is going to be permitted, and that's the policy 319 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 3: of this administration, and he's not afraid to implement it. 320 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 4: Last one, I remember asking the President here at the beginning 321 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 4: of this term. 322 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: If he was committed to Article five the NATO, and 323 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: he said yes. 324 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 4: Has his stance on NATO or his commitment to NATO 325 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 4: changed did you see. 326 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 3: His statement earlier today?

It's the Trump administration that has taken multiple 350 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 3: actions on various fronts to ensure that taxpayer dollars are 351 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 3: not funding the practice of abortion. What the President was 352 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 3: saying yesterday was Republicans and frankly Democrats too, need to 353 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 3: show a little bit more flexibility so we can actually 354 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 3: get something done with respect to the issue of healthcare. 355 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: Republicans have amazing ideas. The President himself, as we spoke 356 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: about earlier, has launched this Most Favored Nation Drug Pricing initiative, 357 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: has cut good deals with big pharma. He wants to 358 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: see Republicans and Democrats too, if they're willing codify those 359 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: executive orders into law so that these good deals can 360 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 3: remain and these prices can continue to be lowered long 361 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 3: after this president and this deal maker in chief is gone. 362 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: President's talked a lot about health savings accounts and giving 363 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 3: more money back to the healthcare consumer rather than to 364 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: these giant insurance companies, and he's been very outspoken and 365 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 3: tough on them too, and I think you'll see more 366 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: and hear more from him directly on that issue. So 367 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 3: he wants to see Congress get something done with respect 368 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 3: to healthcare.

January sixth, police officer Lyla Morris. 417 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 26: The Biden administration in mainstream media lied and told Americans 418 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 26: rose Ama Boyle and died of overdose on capital steps. 419 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 26: Her family is now asking for an investigation.

We knew the 429 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: media would be covering January sixth quite a bit because 430 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: they think it's something that the American people are still 431 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 3: believing their lives on. They think it's something that still 432 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 3: helps their case against this president. Obviously not, or else 433 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 3: he wouldn't have been re elected in an overwhelming fashion 434 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 3: in November of last year, and so I would encourage 435 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 3: everyone to take a look at the website.

Much of the focus 465 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 27: centered around health, as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. 466 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: Kennedy Jr. 467 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 27: As well As Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins were among the 468 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 27: featured speakers.

This is the foundation 496 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 22: that will make America healthy again. 497 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 27: And as I said earlier, Robert F.

How have you been. 534 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 19: I've been great. Happy New Year, Andrew. It's going to 535 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 19: be a great year. 536 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 13: I've never been so ready to turn the calendar over 537 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 13: to the next year. I will tell you twenty twenty 538 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 13: five was a absolute doozy. But there is so much 539 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 13: breaking news here, Senator. You know, there's Greenland. There was 540 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 13: a shooting that I want to actually inform our audience about, 541 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 13: involving an ICE officer in Minneapolis. As you know, we've 542 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 13: been surging ICE DHS personnel over two thousand on the 543 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 13: streets of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, massive, massive reaction from 544 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 13: the federal government. It appears that it was a ramming 545 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 13: and a shooting. This is breaking news. A ramming and 546 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 13: a shooting. So a lot of times the citizen activists, 547 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 13: these volunteers on the left, they will follow around ICE 548 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 13: vehicles trying to alert the public, and sometimes they ram them, 549 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 13: and sometimes they try and get in their way. Sometimes 550 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 13: they play fast and loose with their own vehicle. It 551 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 13: appears initial indications, we're waiting for more information here that 552 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 13: that's what this was. 553 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: But Senator, let's start there. 554 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 13: There was a House Oversight Committee hearing on this Somali 555 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 13: fraud and the complicity within the local politicians there covering 556 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 13: it up. Maybe they were getting political kickbacks. What's your 557 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 13: take of it. You have run the state of Florida. 558 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 13: You know these processes, you know how the bureaucracies work 559 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 13: to reaction. 560 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 19: Well, I'm not surprised. Number one. 561 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 4: When I became governor of Florida January twenty eleventh, I 562 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 4: started going agency by agency. Now my background is I'm 563 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 4: a business guy, and in business, you don't waste your money, right, 564 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 4: and you solve your customer's needs. They don't want to 565 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 4: pay you a little extra money because you wasted money 566 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 4: or did stupid things. So what I watched agency by agency, 567 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 4: there would be they wouldn't worry about fraud against the agency, 568 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 4: They wouldn't worry about improper payments. They you know, look 569 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 4: as free money the way is the way. So many 570 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 4: people looked at it. So I went agency by agency 571 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 4: and fix it. Then we got all this free federal money. 572 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 19: It's free. 573 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 4: By the way. The attitude that many governors have is 574 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 4: if if the federal governments paying for it up, that's free, 575 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 4: didn't cost you anything, right, right, And so I watched 576 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: it like after a hurricane, people would say, well, if 577 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 4: we just got to. 578 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 19: You know, we can go get all this free federal money. 579 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 4: So I watched unelievable fraud attempts with regard to debris 580 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 4: pick up after hurricanes. But that's just a tip of 581 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 4: the iceberg. Every government program, and especially thorough programs, the 582 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 4: oversight is pathetic. 583 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 19: It's horrible. 584 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 4: We have studies, We know that there's you know, hundreds 585 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 4: of billions of dollars of fraud. We know there's tens 586 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 4: of billions of dollars worth of improper payments and we 587 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 4: don't get the money back. Yeah, and then we know, 588 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 4: we know people lie cheating steel and we're just sitting 589 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 4: there and people say, well, it's it's free. Why do 590 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 4: you worry so much about this? Well, we should worry 591 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 4: about it because thirty eight and a half thrillion dollars 592 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 4: worth of debt. Your interest rates are too high because 593 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 4: of that, inflation is caused by all this wasteful spending. 594 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 19: And it's not fair. 595 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 4: It's not fair the hard working the kid that's out 596 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 4: there or family that's out there busting their butt every day. 597 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 4: And then somebody else doesn't want to work, so they 598 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 4: take advantage of a state government, a local government, a 599 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 4: federal government. 600 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 19: It's wrong. 601 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, it keeps getting worse the deeper this 602 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 13: rabbit hole goes. Senator, it looks like you know Keith Ellison, 603 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 13: there was a leaked tape released of him that he 604 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 13: was basically, you know, said he was going to cover 605 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 13: up for these Somalis if they kind of gave them 606 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 13: political kickbacks and they were going to run cover for them. 607 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 13: There's multiple questions here. I'm going to play David Marcus 608 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 13: from Fox News. He had a great take on it. 609 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 13: Want to get your reaction to it, because we had 610 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 13: Senator Ron Johnson on the show yesterday. I know a 611 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 13: friend and colleague of yours in the Senate who said 612 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 13: that these were these systems are designed to fail, They're 613 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 13: designed to be looted. They're designed to have wealth extracted 614 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 13: from working class Americans, from the white man, however you 615 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 13: want to look at it, to be given to marginalized communities. 616 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 13: I thought David Marcus made an incredible point here two 617 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 13: forty five. 618 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 30: This is not standard Tammany Hall patronage and kickbacks. So 619 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 30: we've always had that that was meant to keep people 620 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 30: in power, That was not meant to be a massive 621 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 30: redistribution of wealth. What we're seeing here is a massive 622 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 30: redistribution of wealth when these Blue states allocate billions of 623 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 30: dollars for marginalized communities and then fail to put in 624 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 30: place any safeguards to stop theft. That's Marxism by fraud. 625 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 30: That's that's taking money from corporations, from rich people, saying 626 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 30: we're going to send it over here, We're not going 627 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 30: to pay any attention to what's happening to it. 628 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 13: That line sticks with me. This is Marxism by fraud. 629 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 13: Is this intentional? Is this in a in a blue state, 630 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 13: in a blue setting? 631 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: Is this? 632 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 13: Is this the outgrowth of a really sick ideology that 633 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 13: is based on racial grievances, that's based on systemic oppression, 634 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 13: that's based on CRT all of these ideologies. 635 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: Is it intentionally lacking oversight? 636 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 19: Oh? Absolutely? 637 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 4: I mean think about this, is the most of the 638 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 4: taxes are paid by hard working middle class Americans. That's 639 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 4: who's paying most of the taxes in this country, right 640 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 4: is taking their money and give it to somebody else. 641 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 4: And then their goal is the politicians that give all 642 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 4: this away, Oh, vote vote for them because they're giving 643 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 4: you something for free, because it's it's free Andrew that 644 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 4: doesn't cost anything. So absolutely, I mean, let me tell 645 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 4: you a quick story. I became governor of Florida, I 646 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 4: ran my whole campaign in twenty ten on jobs. I 647 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 4: go to the agency that does employment right after I won. 648 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 4: I said, how's unemployment work? They said, well, you have to, 649 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 4: I said. He said, we're open six days a week 650 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 4: because unemployed fullians don't have enough time to apply during 651 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 4: the week. Really, I said, if you get unemployment, if 652 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 4: they're do anything. They said, yeah, apply for after fly 653 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 4: for five jobs a week. I said, you enforce that? 654 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 4: Oh no, I said, I said so. 655 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 19: I said, if you somebody was on unemployment and you 656 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 19: found them. 657 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 4: Have a job, would you, you know, accuse them of 658 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 4: fraud and get the money back? 659 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 19: Well? No, I said, what's your purpose here? 660 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 4: They said, our purpose is to give as many people 661 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 4: on the program as we can, right because we don't, 662 00:33:58,760 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 4: you know, because that. 663 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 19: Will feel good. Who cares? It's free? 664 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: By the way, they explained to me that at the time, 665 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 4: the federal government was paying the excess money, so it's free. 666 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 19: It's federal money. 667 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,479 Speaker 4: They don't care, and they think that's just how they're 668 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 4: going to get elected. And you look, I've been up 669 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 4: here seven years. They don't you know, the people, They 670 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 4: don't set up the programs to work. They intentionally allow 671 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 4: it to be allowed the fraud, and then we have 672 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 4: aarmarks that waste money. We have programs that have no 673 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 4: account But when I was governor of Florida, four thousand 674 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 4: lines of the budget, every line had a written purpose. 675 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 4: If you didn't meet your purpose, I vetoed your money. 676 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 4: We can't even I mean it's hard to even get 677 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 4: to copy the budget up here, let alone is there 678 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 4: a purpose. 679 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 19: So we've got to get to the. 680 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 1: Bottom of this. 681 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 4: This is unfair, it's un American's furious has got Senator Scott. 682 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 24: We have to get to the bottom of this. But 683 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 24: it strikes me that the most immediate pressing thing. We're 684 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 24: not going to get Minnesota to reform itself unless we 685 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 24: can have a revolution in their state government. But we've 686 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 24: tried several times. We're not going to get washed. So 687 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 24: certainly we're not going to flip Washington. We're not going 688 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,439 Speaker 24: to flip fraud in California anytime soon. 689 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: It's what's the step. 690 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 24: I guess, first of all, what could the administration do 691 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 24: to have immediate accountability for this, not just in terms 692 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 24: of arresting perpetrators. But I think a lot of people 693 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 24: are asking, Okay, we know the fraud is there. Can 694 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 24: we bring a stop to it in a quick way, 695 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 24: even if that's something as simple as saying Minnesota doesn't 696 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 24: get money anymore. 697 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's kind of some of it. 698 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, so right now one thing that they should be 699 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 4: doing and they're focused on. And if you talk to 700 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 4: Brooke Rollins or you talk to Membinas, you talk to them, 701 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 4: you know they're going through program by program and they're 702 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna do everything they can't. 703 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 19: That's number one. Number two is we've got it. We've 704 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 19: got in Congress. 705 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 4: We've got to pass measures to stop the fraud and 706 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 4: make sure when we pass things it doesn't allow the 707 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 4: fraud to happen. So so what you know, people like 708 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 4: Ron Johnson and Mike Lee and Cynthia Lummis I are doing. 709 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 4: We keep coming up with ideas of how do you 710 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 4: stop the waste. Now, part of it is stop the earmarks. 711 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 4: Part of it, don't have programs that have no accountability. 712 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 19: That's part of it. 713 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 4: And then the other part is let's make sure that 714 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 4: the you know, executive branch has the ability to stop it. 715 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 4: And then we need to be doing investigations. We need 716 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 4: to do real investigations, of of the of of you know, 717 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 4: each of these programs I've been I think I've said 718 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 4: for seven years that all this fraud with regard to 719 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 4: Tobre pick up, and I can't get the Democrats to 720 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 4: help me.

By the way, So Blake, there's 799 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 13: we got new information. There is a tweak here from 800 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 13: Trician McLoughlin, who was just on the show. Actually she 801 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 13: said today ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations, 802 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 13: very targeted. There's over two thousand that have surged to 803 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 13: that area following the Somali fraud ring, basically following Nick 804 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 13: Shirley's expose and when riders began blocking ICE officers and 805 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 13: one of these violent rioders weaponized her vehicle attempting to 806 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 13: run over our law enforcement officers at an attempt to 807 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 13: kill them, certainly or at least to block them. But Yeah, 808 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 13: certainly those things can be fatal, and these people lose 809 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 13: their minds and they do crazy things. An act of 810 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 13: domestic terrorism, says Trician McLoughlin. An ice officer, fearing for 811 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 13: his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and 812 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 13: the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. The alleged 813 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 13: perpetrator was hit in his decease. The ice officer who 814 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 13: was hurt are expected to make full recoveries. And I 815 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 13: totally agree with this. By the way, what she says next, 816 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 13: this is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization 817 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 13: of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage 818 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 13: rampant assaults on our law enforcement. These men and women 819 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 13: who are simply enforcing the law on the books are 820 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 13: facing a thirteen hundred percent increase in assaults against them, 821 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 13: in an eight thousand percent increase in death threats. 822 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: This is an evolv these situations. 823 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 13: We're giving we will give public more information as soon 824 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 13: as it becomes. 825 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 24: And that's the most important part, because she says that 826 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 24: we'll see there's reportedly video, we'll see, we'll get more 827 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 24: context on what fully happened. But the big picture is this, 828 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,240 Speaker 24: which is The reason ICE has to go around all 829 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 24: acting like they're basically going to war is because they're 830 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 24: treated as an enemy forced by these left wing cities, 831 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 24: by these left wing government. Their job would be a 832 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 24: million times easier if they could pluck people out of jails. Yes, 833 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 24: like focus on that. Get the criminals so getting arrested. 834 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 24: That's happening all the time. They have treated them like criminals. 835 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 24: They've encouraged violence against them, and they've harassed them. 836 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: And so regardless of how. 837 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 24: This incident went down, that is why it happened, and 838 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 24: that needs to be the focus. Yeah, the blood of 839 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 24: this person is on Jacob Fry's hands, It's on Governor 840 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 24: Tim Wallas's hands, period. 841 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: I totally well said a thousand percent agree. 842 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 13: I actually like it when we disagree on stuff a 843 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 13: little bit because it makes for a live I just 844 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 13: happened to completely agree with what you said. You have 845 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 13: to so no sob stories here, absolutely not. I have 846 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 13: seen video after video. There was an instance that really 847 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 13: sticks out in my mind where I saw a video 848 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 13: of this guy ramming ICE officers in California. They ram 849 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 13: him back, they stop him and arrest him. He gets released, 850 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 13: He gets immediately he's an American citizen. So he goes 851 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 13: over straight to CNN. About two hours later cries victim 852 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 13: on national television. And this is what they do, this 853 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 13: is their cycle. So you have these vigilantes, they call 854 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,359 Speaker 13: themselves citizen you know, activists or whatever, and they're working 855 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 13: on behalf of illegal immigrants because you know, why get 856 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 13: off your couch to help American citizens. They want to 857 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 13: go help the marginalized, right, So then they do this 858 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,959 Speaker 13: and they put lives on the line. They put lives 859 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 13: at risk of federal law enforcement. And by the way, 860 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 13: new today ice officers have surpassed their recruiting goals of 861 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 13: ten thousand. According to the One Big Beautiful Bill, they've 862 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 13: hired twelve thousand. There's twelve thousand new ICE officers on 863 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 13: the streets of the United States. And I want to 864 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 13: underscore Blake's point here about this the way that it 865 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 13: was done. So you go back to Obama was called 866 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 13: the deporter in Chief. Do you realize that eighty percent 867 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 13: of those deportations were done the old fashioned way? 868 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:50,959 Speaker 1: What does that mean? 869 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 13: It means that an illegal immigrant was arrested, apprehended on 870 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,720 Speaker 13: the streets of his or her you know, invaded city. 871 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,720 Speaker 13: They would go into jail. The local officials would process 872 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 13: that person. There would be an ICE detainer. They would 873 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 13: hand that person over to ICE safely, securely. There's no 874 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,800 Speaker 13: raids in the streets. There's no DHS rammings, there's no 875 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 13: none of that stuff. 876 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: It's secure. 877 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 13: The person has handcuffs on, they get put on a plane, 878 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 13: process put back in their country of origin. When sanctuary 879 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 13: cities and states refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement, 880 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 13: this is the result. They have to go into the streets, 881 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 13: do raids, they have to go knock on doors, They 882 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 13: have to endanger the public in order to do the 883 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 13: public a good. 884 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: So this is completely Blake's point. 885 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 13: The blood is on the hand of Jacob Fry, who's 886 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 13: by the way, demanding that these ICE agents be removed 887 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 13: from a city which is. 888 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. 889 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 13: By the way, and you hear tomhome and saying we're 890 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 13: gonna double down. We're coming for California, We're coming for Illinois, 891 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 13: We're coming from New York next So look out. More 892 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 13: of this is coming as it should be. And you know, 893 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 13: just say a prayer for our brave men and women 894 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 13: of DHS and ice as they are forced to not 895 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 13: work in cooperation behind closed doors in safety, but instead 896 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 13: have to go out on the streets and commit, you know, 897 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 13: conduct raids on businesses and homes and that sort of thing. 898 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 13: Because this is completely on the head and on the 899 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 13: hands of local officials. 900 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: It's absolutely infuriating. 901 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 10: Blake. 902 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 13: We had a kind of related but there was a 903 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 13: House Oversight Committee hearing, the first of its kind. Some 904 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 13: explosive allegations were made in this hearing by Republicans in 905 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,240 Speaker 13: the state of Minnesota that were saying they have tried 906 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 13: to conduct oversight and to deal with the fraud in Minnesota. 907 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 24: We saw this one viral the other day that there's 908 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,240 Speaker 24: in twenty eighteen there Inspector General did a whole report 909 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 24: or the staff there did a whole thing. It laid 910 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 24: out exactly how fraud happens. They say they have fake 911 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 24: groups that come in or as fake groups, they have 912 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 24: groups of like these daycares that come in and say 913 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 24: we're interested in stopping fraud, but they're really trying to 914 00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 24: deflect investigations away. They had a whistleblower explain this to them, said, 915 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 24: we think half of all of our daycare money may 916 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 24: be going to fraud if not more, and then the 917 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 24: Inspector General just buries it. 918 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 13: Well and get this, they are fabricating documents play cut 919 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 13: two sixty two. 920 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 32: According to the non partisan Legislative Auditor, this is another 921 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 32: case of mismanagement of taxpayer money. 922 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,799 Speaker 1: But perhaps the most explosive revelation is that. 923 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 32: Managers within DHS, the Department of Human Services, tried to 924 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 32: cover their tracks by backdating and creating new. 925 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 13: Documents backdating, so they're trying to cover their tracks. Other 926 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 13: testimony from this morning's hearing said that they were blacklisted, 927 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 13: that it was career suicide to call out fraud. The 928 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,720 Speaker 13: depth of the rot seems to know no end here. 929 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 13: It's truly stunning, and I think we all knew this 930 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,760 Speaker 13: was going on. We all knew that there was fraud, 931 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 13: We all knew that it was blown, but it was 932 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 13: so amorphous and abstract, and now you're seeing in vivid 933 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 13: technicolor exactly how it works. 934 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: And they get political. 935 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 13: Kickbacks and to get promises for whole communities like the 936 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,359 Speaker 13: Somali's to vote in block for them for reelection Hour 937 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 13: two coming up. 938 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,240 Speaker 2: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. 939 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 27: I'm Terrence Bates.

Welcome Rich. 1048 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 13: I tweeted something yesterday from Harry Enton from CNN, and 1049 00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 13: I saw you get into the comments, and I was like, 1050 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 13: I gotta give a boy, Rich, huh, because I know 1051 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 13: would I take When I tweeted it, I was like, 1052 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:07,400 Speaker 13: I thought about you in the backway head. I was like, 1053 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 13: I know, Rich is gonna totally disagree, but I kind 1054 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 13: of disagree with you a little bit. That can make 1055 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,359 Speaker 13: for a fun conversation. So Harry Entton is saying that 1056 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 13: there is no rift in MAGA that President Trump was 1057 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 13: at eighty four percent of approval rate within the GOP 1058 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 13: or his base previous Trump voters. Now he's at eighty 1059 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 13: five percent. Six months goes by, he goes up one 1060 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 13: percentage point, which is nominal obviously, but at least it's 1061 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:30,919 Speaker 13: not going the other way. 1062 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: It's going presumably up. 1063 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 13: And this is after Venezuela, you know, which raised some 1064 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 13: questions about our foreign policy. Maga's America first, So how 1065 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 13: does this jive with that whole vibe? So rich, tell 1066 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,960 Speaker 13: me why Harry Entton is wrong? What what am I missing? 1067 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 13: The floor is yours? 1068 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 23: So first and for folks, maybe this was the easiest 1069 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 23: way to explain it. And as always, by the way, 1070 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 23: thanks for having me. Of course, think about the MAGA 1071 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 23: coalition like a simple then diagram. All right, Republican does 1072 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 23: not equal MAGA, and MAGA does not equal Republican. 1073 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 10: If you looked at it like a Venn diagram, you would. 1074 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,840 Speaker 23: See in the middle, you know, all of the various 1075 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 23: groups that come together. But MAGA is actually made up 1076 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 23: of several different groups of people. 1077 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 10: One, you're going to have those hardcore Republicans. 1078 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,839 Speaker 23: They're Republicans, they vote Republican no matter what, and they 1079 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,439 Speaker 23: also vote MAGA, and Trump has won the argument even 1080 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 23: with them. And then you have a smaller group of 1081 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 23: Republicans that they're not MAGA. And by the way, I mean, 1082 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 23: we have some public figures that pretend like they are, 1083 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 23: but in truth, in the populace, they've been voting Democrat 1084 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 23: for a while. They may vote for a moderate Republican 1085 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 23: or traditional Rhino or something. 1086 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:41,840 Speaker 10: But they don't vote for MAGA. 1087 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 23: But they're overwhelmed, and they're like more than offset by 1088 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 23: a group of independents and even a small sliver of 1089 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 23: orphan Democrats that only vote for MAGA, and they'll only 1090 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 23: come out for America. And I don't even know if maga' 1091 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 23: is the right way to say it anymore, Andrew, because 1092 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,720 Speaker 23: we've had this like debate over MAGA versus America First, 1093 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,839 Speaker 23: So the messaging is getting muddled there. 1094 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 10: But for all the. 1095 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 23: Time that we have been tracking it, it's, you know, 1096 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,920 Speaker 23: in theory, this is Donald Trump's vision of America First, right, 1097 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,440 Speaker 23: And I know we're debating what that means right now, right, 1098 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 23: even with the president off doing things that other people 1099 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 23: disagree with. But Harry Enton, I would warn all of 1100 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:22,280 Speaker 23: you he is a prime actor in what has long 1101 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,399 Speaker 23: been a use of public polls to dupe the right, 1102 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 23: and the right falls for it every single. 1103 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 13: Hold on, hold on, rich now, I remember Harry Enton 1104 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 13: in the run up to the twenty twenty four election 1105 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 13: showing poll after poll of Trump winning, of Trump being 1106 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 13: ahead in the polls, of Trump winning on this issue 1107 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 13: that issue. 1108 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: And I so I'm. 1109 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,399 Speaker 13: Just saying that maybe that's my memory, and maybe I'm selectively, 1110 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 13: you know, choosing what I remember and I what I don't, 1111 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 13: But I do remember him like candidly. 1112 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:54,839 Speaker 1: It was Charlie's Twitter feed. 1113 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 13: It was just like clip after clip after clip, and 1114 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 13: it ended up, you know, proving to be accurate. 1115 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 10: He's manic.

You know, 1137 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,839 Speaker 23: Trump's in a majority approval for the first time ever 1138 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 23: in his administration. They did this in the first administration 1139 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 23: and it was not the smart political thing to do. 1140 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 10: It exposed him politically. 1141 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 23: Then when that vulnerability hits, they'll crash him into the 1142 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 23: thirties and the right falls for it. 1143 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 8: All. 1144 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's fair, So would you would you? Would you 1145 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 13: say rich though, that Trump's I guess his political backing 1146 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 13: from his supporters is pretty like resilient, it's pretty stable, 1147 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 13: but it's been challenged in this first year and even 1148 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 13: even with the Venezuela strike in new ways. I think, 1149 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 13: you know, because again, foreign policy seems to be the 1150 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 13: hot button topic. Right, It's like, we don't want to 1151 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 13: focus on it, we want to focus domestically, and then 1152 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 13: when we do, everybody scared of the neo con interventional, 1153 00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 13: you know, foreign abstractions rabbit holes that we've we've trailed, 1154 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 13: what we've we've followed in years passed. 1155 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 1: So where are we at right now? 1156 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 13: So Harry Enton says that actually the strike is is 1157 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 13: more popular than than we previously thought. 1158 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 23: What you think it's historically it's it's basically the most 1159 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 23: unpopular military action that of its kind. Grenada had eighty 1160 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 23: two percent, even fifty seven percent approved of the military 1161 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,919 Speaker 23: action against Syria that Donald Trump took in his first 1162 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 23: administration in response to what we now probably you know, 1163 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 23: almost assuredly know we're false flag attacks, right, so historically 1164 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 23: compared to others, including Iran last year, by the way, 1165 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,400 Speaker 23: which was very even you know, very evenly divided among 1166 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:31,680 Speaker 23: the America. 1167 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 1: Where is this that according to your numbers. 1168 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 10: Rich, it's not good. 1169 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 23: It's negative, It's not horribly negative, but it is negative. 1170 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 23: And the reason why and this is where, like you know, 1171 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 23: a Republican should like snap out of this like haze 1172 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 23: that they're in. Democrats are never going to believe anything 1173 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,439 Speaker 23: that the Trump administration says that Nicholas Maduro did. We're 1174 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 23: asking people not just about the strike, but whether or 1175 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 23: not they even believe the charges against Nicholas Maduro and 1176 00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 23: Democrats don't even believe the charges. So this idea that 1177 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,960 Speaker 23: you could get into a solid majority who opposes this 1178 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 23: is ridiculous. I hate to say it, but we're actually 1179 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 23: really close to the Washington Post Andrew, and unlike everybody else, 1180 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 23: we didn't drop the numbers right away, and there's a 1181 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 23: reason for that. 1182 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 10: The war drums at the time they're beating. 1183 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 23: War propaganda is always one of the most powerful forms 1184 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 23: of propaganda you can get, and when you initially pulled, 1185 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 23: you will get the strongest level of support. Typically then 1186 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 23: you're ever going to see and then that support will 1187 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 23: decline over time. It happened with Iran as well. Iran 1188 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 23: initial even in some polls the Iran the strikes against 1189 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 23: Iran's nuclear facilities were pretty popular. 1190 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 10: Not in ours, and we I think we were right 1191 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:38,160 Speaker 10: and they were wrong. 1192 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 23: But you can even see in those polls that were 1193 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 23: more favorable to that it dips over time. 1194 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 10: So we didn't want to snap poll it. 1195 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 23: We wanted to get an accurate reflection of how the 1196 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 23: public digested everything. 1197 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,880 Speaker 10: The question is what comes after. 1198 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 23: This, So people are going to be okay, and this 1199 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 23: is what and just so people understand my own personal 1200 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 23: views are very different from what I think the you know, 1201 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 23: the how I think the public sees this, or what 1202 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 23: they're telling us right now. My own personal view is, 1203 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,680 Speaker 23: if you can get if you can get a guy 1204 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 23: like that out of there Andrew with a limited strike 1205 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 23: like this, you know, in a limited operation, Intel led operation, 1206 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,080 Speaker 23: get him out of there, and then bring the regime 1207 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 23: to heal. 1208 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 10: Take the gold in the oil go ahead, because. 1209 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 23: We're forty trillion dollars in debt and you need to 1210 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,680 Speaker 23: back the Petro dollar. That's my view, that's Rich Barris's view. 1211 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 23: That's not the public view. Unfortunately, they're like they have 1212 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 23: PTSD over this, brother, you understand, like they have PTSD 1213 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 23: over this, and the administration sold it like garbage. 1214 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 10: This was the easiest sell. 1215 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 23: Look, they stole our oil a few years ago, you know, Joe. 1216 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 10: You know the Democrats were too you know, George Bush 1217 01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,240 Speaker 10: actually was the wiener here, but they were too weak 1218 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 10: to do anything about it. 1219 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 23: I'm not I'm taking it back because China and Iran 1220 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,600 Speaker 23: can't have it, period, end of story. 1221 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 10: And we're not going to nation build. That's what we're 1222 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 10: gonna do. Don't give the public some. 1223 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 23: Garbage rehatch version of the failed War on drugs, which 1224 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 23: they aff at and think is ridiculous. Don't and don't 1225 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 23: insult their intelligence like that. Come out and just say 1226 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,040 Speaker 23: be the strong man. 1227 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:09,320 Speaker 10: That you were elected to be. 1228 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,480 Speaker 23: You know, we talked about this at the conference quite 1229 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 23: a bit, and especially voters under forty five, they don't 1230 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 23: care if he acts like a Franco. They don't care. 1231 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 23: They want it. They want so be that guy, and 1232 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 23: don't ex you know, that's it. I'm not gonna explain myself. 1233 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:27,720 Speaker 23: I personally want Greenland. Don't explain yourself over Greenland. We 1234 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,120 Speaker 23: have to colonize space and the United States has to 1235 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 23: lead that effort. Guess what we need Greenland to do it? Tough, 1236 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 23: end of story. And you don't even have to do 1237 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 23: that when military action so and the. 1238 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 10: Public wouldn't even care. 1239 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 23: I don't think that much about that because the question 1240 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 23: of what comes next is less of a you know, 1241 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,000 Speaker 23: a very concerning question, right, I mean, you can leave 1242 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 23: people in charge there that obviously Western values hold our 1243 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 23: same belief systems, right, have been in the international order 1244 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 23: for a long time, So there's no there's less of 1245 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 23: a danger of this this crisis and destabilization. 1246 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,520 Speaker 1: So again, I think that's I think that's well said. 1247 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: I think that's well said. Rich. 1248 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 13: We're going to continue on with you in the break, 1249 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 13: So don't go anywhere more with Rich Bears. 1250 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 1: We'll be right back, all right. 1251 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 13: We are back in the stream with Rich Barris. We 1252 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,960 Speaker 13: never have enough time with Rich. Yeah, yeah, blow the 1253 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 13: brakes here. 1254 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 24: I just want to I guess I want to ask 1255 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 24: a little more on this. As you say, you say, 1256 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 24: Harry Nten and others, they directly manipulate the polls to 1257 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,640 Speaker 24: manipulate Trump. I guess that struck me as a very 1258 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 24: strong claim, like how many people are involved in this decision? 1259 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:52,400 Speaker 1: How do they do it? 1260 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 24: And because that's like a big swing, and I just feel, 1261 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 24: among other things, I feel like there'd probably be whistleblowers 1262 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 24: from these organizations. 1263 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,960 Speaker 13: Yes, you palked to this a lot of independent editorial 1264 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 13: decisions too, but yeah, go ahead, d yeah. 1265 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 23: I mean, the fact is that my industry is completely 1266 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 23: dominated by leftists. I mean, guys, I literally created the 1267 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 23: polling critic industry. It was like me and that was 1268 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,120 Speaker 23: it for years. That has grown over the years now, 1269 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,960 Speaker 23: and thank god it has. But if you're somebody like me, 1270 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 23: and you come up like, look, I think you're understating 1271 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:23,800 Speaker 23: Republican shares of the vote. 1272 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 10: You get ostracized. 1273 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 23: Right, So these guys the entden average, for instance, or 1274 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 23: the d in aggregate that he pushed the entire cycle, 1275 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 23: excluded most of the polls that got the election correct, 1276 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 23: including ours. So you know, when you got to watch 1277 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 23: that little writing when he puts up on the screen 1278 01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 23: underneath then and aggregate. 1279 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 10: Or whatever poll he's talking about, you better. 1280 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 23: Look damn close at what he's citing and where he's 1281 01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,760 Speaker 23: getting it from. Because all of the people who not 1282 01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 23: fairly but accurately have predicted the outcome of elections in 1283 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 23: the Trump era are excluded from most of enton stuff. 1284 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 23: You will never see him site, you know, one of 1285 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 23: the guys who are part of our association. That will 1286 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 23: never happen on CNN. Right, So go back and look 1287 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 23: at how some of these polsters fared in twenty four 1288 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 23: They know it the evidence of what they have been Look, 1289 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,000 Speaker 23: even if you are pretending that this was just a 1290 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 23: you know, a difference of opinion on who should be 1291 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,280 Speaker 23: cited and who should not be, or what kind of 1292 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 23: data collection modes make the pole more accurate make that 1293 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,040 Speaker 23: polster more accurate, and it's a methodological you know, discussion 1294 01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 23: or debate. Even if we were going to pretend for 1295 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,560 Speaker 23: a second that that was true, which it's not anymore. 1296 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 23: I pretended for the first five years of my career 1297 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 23: it's not true. But even if we were to, the 1298 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 23: evidence built up over many years and it became overwhelming, 1299 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 23: they continue to do it intentionally, and no one's going 1300 01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,840 Speaker 23: to call them on it because various things go on 1301 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,880 Speaker 23: as group think.

We're 1357 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 13: gonna have Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on next. We're 1358 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 13: gonna talk about this that I've devoted Basically, the majority 1359 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 13: of my adult political life to railing against the war machine. 1360 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,240 Speaker 1: And but this is different. This is the Monroe doctrine 1361 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:55,800 Speaker 1: and the way you. 1362 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 13: Boil it don doctrine, don Roe doctrine, do the way 1363 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 13: you boil it down, I thought was brilliant. We want 1364 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:07,960 Speaker 13: our oil back. I'm not making excuses for it. Iran, China, Russia, 1365 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:10,200 Speaker 13: you have no place in this hemisphere. Get the hell 1366 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 13: out our this is our backyard. We're not going to 1367 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 13: be suffering fools any longer. We're not going to be 1368 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:16,679 Speaker 13: playing patty cake. 1369 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 1: Get out. 1370 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,639 Speaker 13: This is our oil. We're going to take the revenues. 1371 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 13: We're enriching the homeland, We're securing our defenses. 1372 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 1: That's why I like it. 1373 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,120 Speaker 13: You know, obviously the proof is in the putting how 1374 01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,519 Speaker 13: this plays out. But is there a chance based on 1375 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 13: you know, where you see the base at, where you 1376 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,960 Speaker 13: see Trump voters at, that we can turn this into 1377 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:39,400 Speaker 13: a win politically from a polling standpoint, I do. 1378 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,600 Speaker 23: I think there's a way to really give the American 1379 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 23: people a vision because right now Republicans one of the 1380 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,600 Speaker 23: main reasons they're losing, And we can get into some 1381 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 23: of the gripes that certain factions within the coalition have 1382 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 23: but one of them. 1383 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 10: I would say the main reason that they. 1384 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,320 Speaker 23: Have they lost in twenty five and we go into 1385 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 23: twenty six with them being the underdoe is that they 1386 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 23: don't have a vision. They haven't given the American public 1387 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,639 Speaker 23: an idea of what's the agenda for this year, what's 1388 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,479 Speaker 23: the agenda for the country. And I think this is 1389 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 23: actually a really good opportunity. And I think the interview 1390 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 23: with Cernovich on Tucker was just great because I think Mike, 1391 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 23: whether you agree with him right now or not, guys, 1392 01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,080 Speaker 23: I think what Mike started to do was lay out 1393 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,479 Speaker 23: what kind of a vision you could give to the 1394 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:28,440 Speaker 23: American public and give you know, which could look. Americans 1395 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,880 Speaker 23: are dying for something to believe in. Again, guys, they 1396 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,679 Speaker 23: really are. And I'm not saying that we should start 1397 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 23: toppling governments one by one in the Western hemisphere. But 1398 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:42,599 Speaker 23: Reagan understood something about the unique identity of Americans and 1399 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 23: you know what it meant to be an American, and 1400 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 23: it's optimistic, it's forward thinking, and for so many years, 1401 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 23: one of the reasons for Trump's success is that forget 1402 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 23: about a malaise they've been in the gutter thinking, you know, 1403 01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 23: hopelessness with hopelessness and despair. 1404 01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 10: Right, and some p people look at you know. 1405 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,240 Speaker 23: Especially younger people, they look at the situation you just 1406 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 23: brought up during the break. You know, student loan debt, 1407 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,960 Speaker 23: we have national debt, we have credit card debt, we 1408 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:12,000 Speaker 23: can't afford homes. 1409 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,280 Speaker 13: Right, there is countries getting invaded rich that's the time. 1410 01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,840 Speaker 13: I mean, I tell you that is the single most 1411 01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,559 Speaker 13: demoralizing aspect of modern American life. Is that you look 1412 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 13: at you look across the street, and you don't recognize 1413 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,360 Speaker 13: your neighbors. You go to the DMV, you don't recognize 1414 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 13: your neighbors. You go to on an airplane, you don't 1415 01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 13: recognize your neighbors. And there is something insidious about this, Blake. 1416 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 13: I would love to build this out from a data standing. 1417 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,839 Speaker 13: At some point there is something about when your country 1418 01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:40,599 Speaker 13: gets invaded by foreigners where American families stop or whatever 1419 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 13: the country is, stop having babies and stop. 1420 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:47,320 Speaker 1: Believing like mass immigration lowers fertility. Country doesn't. It's not 1421 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:51,240 Speaker 1: the doesn't have a lot, South Creed doesn't have a lot, 1422 01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 1: and they're lower than but Switzerland. So it's not the 1423 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:55,440 Speaker 1: only factor. 1424 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 13: But there's something insidious about it, and demoralizing about it. 1425 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,639 Speaker 13: And this is why I constantly harp on the issue 1426 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 13: of immigration. I think it is visceral. I think there 1427 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 13: is a you know, we talk about illegal and you 1428 01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 13: still get these boomer cons that say, you know, oh, 1429 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:14,880 Speaker 13: I support legal immigration and I'm just anti No, Like, nope, 1430 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 13: We've had too much. We've had too much, and we 1431 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:22,679 Speaker 13: are watching the eraser of American culture before our eyes. 1432 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,960 Speaker 13: We are watching the communities that remind us of America 1433 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,720 Speaker 13: shrink and get like these enclaves get shrunk. And it's 1434 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 13: not about skin color, by the way. I think it's 1435 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,160 Speaker 13: about pre modern and postmodern. I'm gonna build this idea 1436 01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:38,519 Speaker 13: out too. But it's people that see the economic system 1437 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:40,680 Speaker 13: as an opportunity to get ahead and those who view 1438 01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 13: it as a as a extraction tool to oppress people. 1439 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,439 Speaker 13: That's the dividing line.

But I 1565 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,080 Speaker 6: also want to make it clear that if the United 1566 01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:11,799 Speaker 6: States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, 1567 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,840 Speaker 6: that is including our NATO and thus the security that 1568 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,679 Speaker 6: has been provided since the end of the Second World War. Yes, 1569 01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:22,280 Speaker 6: I believe in democracy, and I believe in the international rules. 1570 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,719 Speaker 6: Of course, I also believe that you do not change 1571 01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,880 Speaker 6: borders by force, either one way or another. It is 1572 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,679 Speaker 6: not only the position of Denmark and the Danish Kingdom, 1573 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 6: fortunately of Europe too. 1574 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 1: So I hope that the people will also. 1575 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,479 Speaker 6: Take note of the once again significant European support so 1576 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 6: that we are receiving. 1577 01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,839 Speaker 13: Yeah, after which Trump truthed that America will always support 1578 01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 13: and have NATO's back, even if they never have our back, 1579 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,760 Speaker 13: and after he bragged that he got them to spend 1580 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:51,639 Speaker 13: two percent to five. 1581 01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Percent GDP, which is fair, that's what we've wanted. 1582 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 24: Yeah, absolutely, I think it's worth because I think some 1583 01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 24: people have responded to this with some chest thumbing, like 1584 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,599 Speaker 24: there's a lot of attitude. I think this is what 1585 01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,599 Speaker 24: part of what Stephen Miller said when he was on CNN, 1586 01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,479 Speaker 24: he said Denmark can't stop us from taking it, which 1587 01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:12,280 Speaker 24: is true, but some people have actually just emb on 1588 01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,280 Speaker 24: X Mostly people have embraced this attitude of that's all 1589 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,640 Speaker 24: that matters is whether they can stop us or not, 1590 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,360 Speaker 24: and that that's all it reduces to. And I guess 1591 01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,040 Speaker 24: I would caution people from going really far down that 1592 01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 24: rabbit hole. First of all, it's not ever been America's way, 1593 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,280 Speaker 24: even when we were, you know, the global unquestioned superpower, 1594 01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 24: not in declined anyway, It's not been our way to 1595 01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,519 Speaker 24: just bully weaker nations. 1596 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,040 Speaker 1: To beat them up. That's not really a great long 1597 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:40,120 Speaker 1: term play for America. 1598 01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:44,360 Speaker 24: Like what's greatly been to America's benefit historically is a 1599 01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,400 Speaker 24: lot of nations far weaker than us have been willing 1600 01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 24: to work with us, have been willing to just accede 1601 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,720 Speaker 24: to our leadership, and that led us in a dumb 1602 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 24: way where we just started to put other countries' interests 1603 01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 24: first over ours, where we just did dumb things, where 1604 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,920 Speaker 24: we're funneling endless foreign aid to crappy countries that don't 1605 01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 24: like us and are taking advantage of us. But I 1606 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 24: don't think you swing back the other way and you just, 1607 01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,840 Speaker 24: for example, dissolve NATO because you feel like making your 1608 01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:12,120 Speaker 24: image on a Matt Bigger. 1609 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 6: No. 1610 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 13: I mean, listen, I think you have to ask the question, 1611 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:19,760 Speaker 13: how would we acquire Greenland. You've got to involve the people. Yeah, right, 1612 01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 13: it should be done by vote. I think, you know. 1613 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,320 Speaker 24: I think the way you do it is you were 1614 01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,360 Speaker 24: you just make the pitch I think one thing that's 1615 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 24: been an issue is we've been it's almost been too 1616 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,680 Speaker 24: attractive to just again chest thump and say like, oh we. 1617 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 1: Could easily do it, which we could. 1618 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:36,320 Speaker 24: But I think the way you make it a long 1619 01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:38,840 Speaker 24: term play is you point out it is a win win. 1620 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 24: You can say Denmark, you just talk about how Denmark 1621 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,400 Speaker 24: is a great ally. They actually have been. They have 1622 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 24: spent month, they've ponied up for Ukraine, whereas other countries, haven't. 1623 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,400 Speaker 1: They sent troops to Afghanistan. 1624 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,800 Speaker 24: They had more troops die per capita in Afghanistan than 1625 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:54,280 Speaker 24: I think any of our allies. And they've been a 1626 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,759 Speaker 24: good ally to us. And they're also the European country 1627 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,559 Speaker 24: that restricts immigration. Like, they're good on a lot of ways. 1628 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:01,679 Speaker 24: So we talk about how Denmark is a great ally, 1629 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:05,720 Speaker 24: and Denmark has taken on this burden of supporting Greenland. 1630 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,040 Speaker 1: Well, they spend four billion dollars a yeay, yeah, they 1631 01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:08,840 Speaker 1: spend a ton of money. 1632 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,800 Speaker 24: It's not really a very profitable endeavor in any way. 1633 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 24: It's as a big welfare sink for them. They spend 1634 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,280 Speaker 24: a lot on this, and for us it would be 1635 01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,160 Speaker 24: a far more trivial amount of money to spend. So 1636 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:21,600 Speaker 24: we could increase the amount of money, so we can 1637 01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,960 Speaker 24: say it's good for Greenland, we can develop you more, 1638 01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:27,040 Speaker 24: we can give you more money. It's good for Denmark, 1639 01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,240 Speaker 24: you're getting this off of your books, and it's good 1640 01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,200 Speaker 24: for America because we have a long term certainty of 1641 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 24: owning Greenland, we have that long term military security, we 1642 01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,760 Speaker 24: can potentially develop the natural resources with. 1643 01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 1: More natural resources. 1644 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:42,080 Speaker 24: Is that's the pitch you make if you say when 1645 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:43,919 Speaker 24: when when for everyone involved? 1646 01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,440 Speaker 13: And then we get our oil lands back in Venezuela. 1647 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 13: We're talking about and by the way, we have secretary 1648 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,320 Speaker 13: right on the show tomorrow Energy Secretary of the United States, 1649 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 13: So we're going to be talking all about Venezuelan oil. 1650 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,680 Speaker 13: What's at stake, what could we benefit from, how much 1651 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,679 Speaker 13: money could we make, how much money would be would 1652 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:06,559 Speaker 13: flow back into the hands of the Venezuelan people. We 1653 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,920 Speaker 13: are monitoring the situation. Secretary Headsets should be sitting down 1654 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,280 Speaker 13: in just a second, Blake. What are some of the 1655 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 13: questions that people want to ask? Secretary Headsets. 1656 01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,439 Speaker 24: Some people really wanted to ask what was this one? 1657 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:24,720 Speaker 24: Danny sent us one one moment. Uh crap, there's so 1658 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:26,720 Speaker 24: many in the There's a lot, you guys, there's a 1659 01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 24: lot we got. 1660 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:28,360 Speaker 1: We literally got like eight. 1661 01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:31,920 Speaker 24: Questions all at once, and so and more have flowed 1662 01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:37,479 Speaker 24: in since then. Let's see, someone really wanted to know, 1663 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 24: what are your thoughts on the Russian sending a submarine 1664 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,640 Speaker 24: to assist the Russian flight oil tanker? 1665 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 13: Wasn't much because the I think, you know what, I 1666 01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,719 Speaker 13: believe that the Russian submarine, by the way I've looked 1667 01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:51,600 Speaker 13: into this was basically doing surveillance ahead of where the 1668 01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 13: this tanker evaded a blockade, probably with the help of 1669 01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:59,240 Speaker 13: additional resources provided by the Russian I. 1670 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,400 Speaker 24: Like this question from heaven. What is the Department of 1671 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 24: War done to correct shipbuilding problems in the US Navy. 1672 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,560 Speaker 24: We've covered that, we had a guest on at the 1673 01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,559 Speaker 24: start of the year. We're not building ships very well. 1674 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,599 Speaker 24: When America won World War Two, we could famously build 1675 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:12,840 Speaker 24: a ship in a single day. 1676 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 1: We did it once as a publicity stunt. 1677 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 24: We built a Liberty ship from nothing to finished vessel 1678 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:19,519 Speaker 24: twenty four hours fast. 1679 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 1: And we could literally build ships. 1680 01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 24: We could build ships faster than the Japanese and the 1681 01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,000 Speaker 24: Germans could sink them. And now China can build ships 1682 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 24: faster than we would be able to sink them. 1683 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,320 Speaker 1: Well, that's certainly true, probably faster. 1684 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 24: Than we could build the missiles that would blow them up. 1685 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,320 Speaker 24: And they can build missiles faster than us. 1686 01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:36,639 Speaker 13: It's not so we're going to be asking about these 1687 01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:40,880 Speaker 13: seized vessels. We're going to be asking about you know, 1688 01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 13: what is the military obligation in Venezuela to If we're 1689 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,360 Speaker 13: going to be running Venezuela, is there a military obligation 1690 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,640 Speaker 13: and what is the extent of that obligation. 1691 01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 1: We're going to be asking about. 1692 01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 13: You know, do we have proof that Iran, China, Russia 1693 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,200 Speaker 13: are still on the ground in Venezuela. Are they fomenting descent? 1694 01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:06,240 Speaker 13: Are they fomenting factions? You know, we're gonna be talking 1695 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,200 Speaker 13: about Greenland and if we can get to it, we're 1696 01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 13: going to find out how many push ups and pull 1697 01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:13,040 Speaker 13: ups Secretary of Heagseth can do, which is what everybody 1698 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 13: wants to know.

However you 1710 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 13: want to slice it. 1711 01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:54,800 Speaker 28: Uh. 1712 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,479 Speaker 13: So again we looks like we're getting some activity here. 1713 01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,000 Speaker 13: We will have Secretary head seth on it just a 1714 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:05,040 Speaker 13: second from an undisclosed location.

It does appear that the woman 1726 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,840 Speaker 13: was attempting to ram the ICE agent. That video is 1727 01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,439 Speaker 13: now circulating online. I would show it to you, except 1728 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:51,720 Speaker 13: we are still eagerly awaiting the Secretary. So Blake, what 1729 01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:52,599 Speaker 13: else you got for us? 1730 01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 24: Uh, Well, we were going to do this after but 1731 01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:56,400 Speaker 24: we might be going right up against the end of 1732 01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,080 Speaker 24: the show here. President Trump has announced he's going to 1733 01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:03,559 Speaker 24: be pursuing new measures not clear yet, but to make 1734 01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 24: it easier for a single family home. He says, for 1735 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,719 Speaker 24: a long time, buying and owning a home was considered 1736 01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,160 Speaker 24: the pinnacle of the American dream. It was a reward 1737 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,040 Speaker 24: for working hard and doing the right thing. But because 1738 01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,360 Speaker 24: of the record high inflation of Joe Biden and the Democrats, 1739 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 24: the American dream is increasingly out of reach for many people, 1740 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 24: especially younger Americans. For that reason, I am immediately taking 1741 01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 24: steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single 1742 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 24: family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to 1743 01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 24: codify it. People live in homes, not corporations. I will 1744 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,280 Speaker 24: discuss this topic and more at my speech in Davos 1745 01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 24: in two weeks. I don't know what it's going to be. 1746 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,360 Speaker 24: That is tremendous, and it's exactly what Charlie was. 1747 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:44,920 Speaker 1: I was gonna say. 1748 01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:46,800 Speaker 13: This is a Charlie Kirk special. So we talk about 1749 01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,960 Speaker 13: the gen Z economic moonshot, and it is very clear 1750 01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 13: that President Trump is hearing the pushback I were. In 1751 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,040 Speaker 13: just a second, we're going to have the secretary, so 1752 01:26:56,240 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 13: just bear with us. One more sec complicated business. But 1753 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:03,439 Speaker 13: this is the economic moonshot that Charlie wanted. This is 1754 01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,719 Speaker 13: what he said, we are in a race against the clock. 1755 01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 13: We have to prove that our ideas work and we 1756 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,479 Speaker 13: have to clear away from a policy standpoint to make 1757 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:14,960 Speaker 13: sure that gen Z and let's be honest, generations after 1758 01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:18,840 Speaker 13: are not getting blocked out by institutional investors, foreign buyers. 1759 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 1: And the like. 1760 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 13: I am told we are just about ready for the Secretary. 1761 01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 1: We got lots of questions. Thank you for sending all 1762 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 1: your questions. For seconds have to go rapid fire to spam, 1763 01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:34,040 Speaker 1: bam bam. Yeah, we're going to have to studio. Where 1764 01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:35,880 Speaker 1: are we at. 1765 01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,840 Speaker 13: We're ready, We're ready, all right, bring him in, Yeah, 1766 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 13: Secretary Pete Hegseeth Department of War. 1767 01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 1: Welcome, welcome to the show. It's great to see you. 1768 01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:48,040 Speaker 7: Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. 1769 01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:50,479 Speaker 1: Secretary, we'll get right into it. 1770 01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 13: Two tankers have been boarded and apprehended by the US military. 1771 01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 13: A senior Russian lawmakers quoted as saying, this is outright piracy. 1772 01:27:58,600 --> 01:27:59,759 Speaker 13: What do you call these actions? 1773 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 7: Outright accountability? Actual enforcement. 1774 01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:07,200 Speaker 9: There's been a long time illicit activity emanating from Venezuela 1775 01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 9: around the world. Really, the Dark Fleet's a global enterprise, 1776 01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:15,480 Speaker 9: but Venezuela has used it to transport sanctioned oil flagless 1777 01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:19,320 Speaker 9: vessels that enrich the regime, and we have said a 1778 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 9: oil blockade is in full effect around Venezuela to ensure 1779 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,280 Speaker 9: that that oil on the dark fleet. 1780 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 7: Doesn't make it anywhere. 1781 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:29,120 Speaker 9: So there was one vessel that attempted to move toward 1782 01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,559 Speaker 9: Venezuela and when we put the blockade and turned around. 1783 01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 9: So we've been pursuing that one for a couple of weeks. Frankly, 1784 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:37,240 Speaker 9: just a reminder that we will follow you and when 1785 01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,400 Speaker 9: we have the opportunity, we'll ensure you are we seize 1786 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 9: that vessel, which we did, and then there was another 1787 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 9: one inside closer to Venezuela and waters this morning at 1788 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 9: the same time simultaneously that we also confiscated. So this 1789 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,759 Speaker 9: is an ongoing effort. It's in full effect. The pressure 1790 01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:55,759 Speaker 9: is on, and as Marco has laid. 1791 01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:56,680 Speaker 7: Out, we're working with. 1792 01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:01,760 Speaker 9: The Venezuelan government to ensure that there's a new way 1793 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:05,640 Speaker 9: by which they can process that oil, partnering with the 1794 01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:06,640 Speaker 9: United States. 1795 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:10,400 Speaker 7: And we're going to continuing enforce it. This blockade is necessary. 1796 01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,679 Speaker 24: So far, as Secretary, we haven't had any US boots 1797 01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:16,719 Speaker 24: on the ground in Venezuela, but President Trump has said 1798 01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:20,080 Speaker 24: We're going to run the country in some capacity. Is 1799 01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:23,240 Speaker 24: there any possibility that that will take place? And if so, 1800 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,360 Speaker 24: how many what could that situation look like? 1801 01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:29,920 Speaker 9: Well, I think in these cases what the President is 1802 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:32,840 Speaker 9: so good about is we're not closing doors here, We're 1803 01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 9: not opening doors. We're not revealing to anybody what we 1804 01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 9: will or will not do. The strategic ambiguity is a 1805 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 9: really important thing. Leverage properly it creates opportunities that did 1806 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,840 Speaker 9: not exist before. Just like that raid on Maduro that 1807 01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,800 Speaker 9: no one in the world anticipated, the most sophisticated raid 1808 01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:52,679 Speaker 9: maybe that's ever happened in military history, changed the entire dynamic. 1809 01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,439 Speaker 9: We didn't talk about whether something like that was possible. 1810 01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:58,280 Speaker 9: So what happens next depends a lot on the decisions 1811 01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:02,519 Speaker 9: that are made inside Caracas by leadership. The blockade remains 1812 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:05,559 Speaker 9: in full effect, the strikes on Narco, Terrace and boats 1813 01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:09,360 Speaker 9: full effect. The pressure continues to ensure that they work 1814 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,120 Speaker 9: with the United States to ensure that that oil and 1815 01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:13,120 Speaker 9: Marco made it clear. 1816 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:14,480 Speaker 7: The President put out a statement. 1817 01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:18,439 Speaker 9: Yesterday thirty to fifty million barrels of oil to be 1818 01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:20,560 Speaker 9: brought to the United States to be processed to be 1819 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:24,800 Speaker 9: used properly by the Venezuelans to ensure that that transition 1820 01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:28,120 Speaker 9: happens the way that it should. You could see scenarios where, hey, 1821 01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:30,799 Speaker 9: maybe we reopen the embassy and you have got marines 1822 01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,360 Speaker 9: there to guard the embassy. You could look at scenarios 1823 01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 9: where there's cooperation, but I wouldn't foreclose anything, and I 1824 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:40,040 Speaker 9: think it's important not to foreclose anything to make sure 1825 01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:42,600 Speaker 9: that the outcome is one that benefits the interests of 1826 01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,160 Speaker 9: the United States in our own hemisphere. This is the 1827 01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:50,759 Speaker 9: Donroe doctrine. This is you know, Russia, Iran, Cuba, others 1828 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:54,400 Speaker 9: had their tentacles all over Venezuela to exploit it and 1829 01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:57,400 Speaker 9: also to leverage their opportunity to be closer to us 1830 01:30:57,439 --> 01:30:58,200 Speaker 9: and pull those. 1831 01:30:58,160 --> 01:30:59,080 Speaker 7: Energy assets out. 1832 01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,960 Speaker 9: We're flipping this ripped, putting America first, controlling our hemisphere, 1833 01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 9: and that action taken on Nicholas Mdurea was the starve it. 1834 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:08,080 Speaker 7: But it's certainly not the end. 1835 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:12,879 Speaker 13: Secretary, you watched the raid happen live as it was happening, 1836 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:16,439 Speaker 13: and you mentioned that this is the most sophisticated raid 1837 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:20,519 Speaker 13: of its kind, probably in who knows living memory. What 1838 01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:23,960 Speaker 13: was it like watching it happened, the apprehension of Madua 1839 01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:26,040 Speaker 13: and his wife, Like, what's the memory that stands out 1840 01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:26,880 Speaker 13: from that moment. 1841 01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:31,360 Speaker 9: The memory that stands out the most for me was 1842 01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:34,680 Speaker 9: watching the drone feed at the end when you could 1843 01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,800 Speaker 9: see the I won't reveal the exact number, but the 1844 01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 9: helicopters leaving Venezuelan territory over the water, and they looked 1845 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 9: like little ants, little dots on their way out of 1846 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 9: the country. They have Maduro and his wife, indicted individuals 1847 01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:51,719 Speaker 9: and all the Americans are out safely, had some wounded, 1848 01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:54,800 Speaker 9: but no Kia. That was the enduring image because everything 1849 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:58,479 Speaker 9: in between. You know, yes, these are the best of 1850 01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,839 Speaker 9: the best. They're trained for it. In fact, the commanders 1851 01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:04,360 Speaker 9: have said they've never been more supported. They've never felt 1852 01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,720 Speaker 9: like they've had better intelligence, They've never had clearer and 1853 01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,599 Speaker 9: better authorities, They've never been. 1854 01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:09,719 Speaker 7: Given everything that they need. 1855 01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:11,400 Speaker 9: That's one of the things we're very proud of here 1856 01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,679 Speaker 9: at the War Department. We're going to support our fighters, 1857 01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,360 Speaker 9: back them up one hundred percent, give them whatever they need, 1858 01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 9: give them the authorities and rules of engagement to be successful. 1859 01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:22,200 Speaker 9: And they had all of that. Still the enemy on 1860 01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:23,920 Speaker 9: the other side gets a vote, and it was a 1861 01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,360 Speaker 9: contested raid, even with the sophistication that went into it, 1862 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:29,919 Speaker 9: and we watched them hover over, we watched the actions 1863 01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:34,599 Speaker 9: on We watched, you know, Venezuelan man pads get shot 1864 01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:36,920 Speaker 9: while they could potentially try to shoot at helicopters. 1865 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:38,479 Speaker 7: I mean, it was all in real time. 1866 01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:41,680 Speaker 9: But it wasn't until we saw those birds float now 1867 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:45,519 Speaker 9: that any of us could really exhale the courage it 1868 01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 9: took for the President to authorize it, the sheer courage 1869 01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 9: and competency of our men and women in the military. 1870 01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:55,320 Speaker 9: Those those assaulters, that extraction force incredible, the best in 1871 01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:59,920 Speaker 9: the world. They did went downtown without being heard, without being. 1872 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:03,439 Speaker 7: Seen, with no notice, distracted that indicted individual and brought 1873 01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:04,439 Speaker 7: them back to the United States. 1874 01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,000 Speaker 9: Only the United States of America could do this mission, 1875 01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:08,599 Speaker 9: second to none, no doubt. 1876 01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:11,479 Speaker 13: And you even saw that on CNN, mister Secretary, where 1877 01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,280 Speaker 13: they were. You had analysts saying that even China and 1878 01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,120 Speaker 13: Russia were looking at this going like, wow, this is incredible. 1879 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:18,880 Speaker 1: So to your point, they've never felt that. 1880 01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:20,759 Speaker 13: Your men and women in the military have never felt 1881 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:24,680 Speaker 13: more support, more backup. I mean, I know this is 1882 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:27,160 Speaker 13: hard to quantify, but you came in with a mandate 1883 01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:30,360 Speaker 13: to make the military more lethal. The lethality you said 1884 01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:34,559 Speaker 13: it again and again, fitness, excellence, meritocracy. You know two 1885 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:37,439 Speaker 13: part question, where are we at now? How much more excellent? 1886 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:39,320 Speaker 13: How much more lethal are we now than when you 1887 01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:42,000 Speaker 13: took over? And I also I am curious about where 1888 01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,200 Speaker 13: recruitment stands right now for the US military. 1889 01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,640 Speaker 9: Well, we've always had great Americans, right Our job has 1890 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 9: been to unleash them, to allow them to do their 1891 01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:55,280 Speaker 9: job without tinkering in the way they operate, without more 1892 01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:57,440 Speaker 9: burdensome rules of engagement, without. 1893 01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,400 Speaker 7: More political caveats, while act. 1894 01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:02,360 Speaker 9: Giving them the authorities we need. And a lot of 1895 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,360 Speaker 9: that emanated out of speech. I gave it quantico to 1896 01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:08,120 Speaker 9: generals and senior enlisted saying I'm putting commanders back in charge. 1897 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,439 Speaker 9: It's not my job to tell that extraction force exactly 1898 01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:12,439 Speaker 9: how to do it. 1899 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,200 Speaker 7: It's my job to get them what they. 1900 01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:18,160 Speaker 9: Need, insure their standards are clear, they're able to execute 1901 01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:20,800 Speaker 9: at the highest possible level, and unleash them to do 1902 01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:23,639 Speaker 9: what they do best. I mean, that's the reflections I've 1903 01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:27,000 Speaker 9: gotten back from not just special operators, but conventional units, 1904 01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:29,960 Speaker 9: just saying it's a new environment. It's a new vibe, 1905 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,400 Speaker 9: a new aura inside the military where we feel empowered 1906 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,519 Speaker 9: to be the warriors that were supposed to be. We've 1907 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:38,080 Speaker 9: always been that way, but other things have held us back. 1908 01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:41,960 Speaker 9: There've been political correctness, or prerogatives or dei or new 1909 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,120 Speaker 9: priorities were emphasized, and we didn't feel like we were 1910 01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:49,080 Speaker 9: fully supported. Not anymore. And you mentioned the recruiting numbers. 1911 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,880 Speaker 9: That's why last year was the most historic recruiting numbers 1912 01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:52,799 Speaker 9: we've seen in decades. 1913 01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:54,640 Speaker 7: This year is even beyond that. 1914 01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:58,280 Speaker 9: So far, guys, the recruiting numbers are surpassing so far 1915 01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:00,960 Speaker 9: and FY twenty six with they were last year. 1916 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:02,240 Speaker 7: Because the spirit. 1917 01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,799 Speaker 9: Continues, the word is getting out. This is a military 1918 01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:05,479 Speaker 9: you want. 1919 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:05,640 Speaker 7: To be in. 1920 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,280 Speaker 9: President Trump has your back, the Secretary has your back. 1921 01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:11,680 Speaker 9: We're training better than ever before in what we do, 1922 01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,320 Speaker 9: and we've got historic financing to make sure. 1923 01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:15,240 Speaker 7: We've got the weapons to do it. 1924 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:18,479 Speaker 9: But also we're focusing on barracks and quality of life 1925 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:20,639 Speaker 9: for the men and women who serve, raising pay. 1926 01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:22,840 Speaker 7: That's the way it should be. Put in the troops first, 1927 01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:23,799 Speaker 7: and that's been our focus. 1928 01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:28,000 Speaker 24: Speaking of the troops under you yesterday, you announced you're 1929 01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:31,160 Speaker 24: going to seek a reduction in Mark Kelly, Senator Mark 1930 01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:35,519 Speaker 24: Kelly's rank as a result of his statements about possibly 1931 01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:38,880 Speaker 24: defiant orders. One of our viewers, Elizabeth, has asked us. 1932 01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:42,479 Speaker 24: She's wondering, She says, why not bring charges against him? 1933 01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:44,120 Speaker 24: She wonders how you reach that decision. 1934 01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:48,640 Speaker 9: Well, we went through the regular process, and we have 1935 01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:52,280 Speaker 9: evaluated those statements, not just that one video, which was 1936 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:55,559 Speaker 9: incredibly reckless. He knew exactly what he was doing. By 1937 01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:57,719 Speaker 9: the way, he was the senior member of that video. 1938 01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:59,960 Speaker 9: He's the only one we have jurisdiction over because he's 1939 01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:03,639 Speaker 9: retire he's receiving a pension money from the government, which 1940 01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 9: means he's still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. 1941 01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:10,160 Speaker 9: And watching the I don't know hiss he fit that 1942 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,160 Speaker 9: he's been throwing ever since shows us. 1943 01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:14,280 Speaker 10: Just how over the target we are. 1944 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:15,599 Speaker 7: He knew exactly what he was saying. 1945 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,480 Speaker 9: He understands the rules, he understands he's still subject to UCMJA, 1946 01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,080 Speaker 9: He understood the doubt and uncertainty he was putting into 1947 01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:26,240 Speaker 9: the process by vaguely alluding to illegal orders but never 1948 01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:30,000 Speaker 9: pointing to what that would mean. Underneath the Trump so 1949 01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:34,559 Speaker 9: he knew and he understands, and the reaction underscores how 1950 01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:38,800 Speaker 9: serious this action is. Reducing a rank or pay is 1951 01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:43,920 Speaker 9: a serious administrative action that sends real simals that we 1952 01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,200 Speaker 9: take these things incredibly seriously. So he's got the time 1953 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,519 Speaker 9: by statute or by directive to reply. 1954 01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:50,920 Speaker 7: We'll review after that. 1955 01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,599 Speaker 9: But this is I don't think anybody should should minimize 1956 01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 9: how significant this is. We don't do it without understanding that. 1957 01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:02,080 Speaker 9: And we're following up by the book and we'll see 1958 01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:02,559 Speaker 9: what happens. 1959 01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 13: Yeah, my brother who's in the military said that this 1960 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,960 Speaker 13: is a pretty massive demoralization for him. I mean, this 1961 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,840 Speaker 13: is a getting demoted in your retirement is pretty big. 1962 01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 1: Secretary. 1963 01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:16,840 Speaker 13: Last question here, Oh, I want to say first, I 1964 01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,680 Speaker 13: want you to know that you were our most popular 1965 01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:23,320 Speaker 13: We did a straphole at America Fest and thirty one 1966 01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:25,720 Speaker 13: thousand people we gave it to all of them.
