The Vice President will lead 8 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: a delegation of Americans in some high stakes negotiations with Iran. 9 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Can they bring this war to an end? Can they 10 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: end forty seven years of heinous hostility by Iran against 11 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: Americans and Westerners in israelis? 12 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: That is what's at stake. 13 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: At the table wining the Vice President, there will be 14 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: Steve Whitcoff, President Trump's a special diplomat for all the 15 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: hot spots in the world, and someone close to the President, 16 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: his son in law, Jared Kushner, will also be there. 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: While those preparations were being made for the discussions today, 18 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: the sort of tenuous and I wanted to I think 19 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: that's the right word to use. Tenuous ceasefire has mostly 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: held in Iran, right, not a lot. 21 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: Of ships going through the Strait of her moves, a 22 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: lot of rhetoric flying around, a lot. 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: Of confusion about what they think they did and didn't 24 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: agree to in Iran, but thus far not a lot 25 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: of bombs going a generally peaceful day, and even some 26 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: movement by Israel to say, hey, maybe we'll talk to 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: Lebanon to cut out that bombing, to give the Iran 28 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: piece talks with the United States a better chance. All 29 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: of that playing out before our very eyes. Really high stakes, folks. 30 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: We're going to be covering this day and night here 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: at Justin News, at Real America's Voice. A man has 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: been at the White House working this all day. I 33 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: want to bring her in right now, Amanda. I can't 34 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: think of a negotiation with perhaps greater stakes for America 35 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: the up side or Iran. If they don't agree to peace, 36 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: what comes next is probably not going to be something 37 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: going to be very happy with. 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's exactly why we have a 39 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: little bit of a change in sentiment from Israel, because 40 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: not only is this so important to the future of 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 3: the United States, it's it's very important to the future 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: of Israel. And I know that Israel has you know, 43 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: they left Lebanon outside of this agreement because of Hesbelah, right, 44 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: and so it was you know, they created a separation 45 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: between the Iranian regime for negotiation, separate from Hesbelah. But 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: I think that since we see this turning, they obviously 47 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: recognize that this is this is a security in the 48 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: posterity for Israel. It's too important to let this entire 49 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: thing fall apart just because they are still picking bones 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: with Hesbela. 51 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 4: So it's it's been interesting, Yeah, it is. 52 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 3: It's an amazing moment, and it's an amazing testament to 53 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: President Trump's negotiation skills. 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 4: Wrote a book on it, so he should be the good. 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: You know, a few tweets sounded on Eastern morning, and 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: I think he got Iron's attention about being honest. 57 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's true. 58 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: And we've often talked about how President Trump, you know, 59 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: one of his his best astributes and one of his 60 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: sharpest skills when it comes to negotiating is keeping his 61 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 3: opponent on their heels. 62 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 4: And when it comes to. 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: President Trump and his very frenetic dealings with them, I 64 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: think that they are permanently on their heels until this 65 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 3: this all is over. 66 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: But stone Age as soon we'll see what indeed indeed. 67 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 4: Or turned to glass. 68 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: So, John, you know, I was in California last week 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: and I want to highlight something. 70 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 4: This is one of. 71 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: Those stories that really as I was driving down certain 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: areas of Van NY's, actually I was just shaking my head. 73 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: California authorities have announced a major crackdown on what they 74 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: call a massive hospice fraud scheme. Now five people have 75 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: already been arrested, with officials. 76 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: Warning that more arrest could be on the way. 77 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: And when you look at the details, it's clear that 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: this is not this is not small time fraud. Prosecutors 79 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: say that this was a coordinated operation that used stolen 80 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: identities to create we eight fake patients. Then they build 81 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: Medicaid for hospice care that was. 82 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: Never actually provided. 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 3: So we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars 84 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: all from a system that is supposed to care for 85 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: people at the end of their lives, such a vulnerable time. 86 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: So what really stands out is that many of these 87 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: hospice companies were actually licensed by the state of California. 88 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 3: So the question, of course then becomes, how does something 89 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 3: like this happen at such a large. 90 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 4: Scale without raising red flags? 91 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 3: Sooner, while officials say that this is part of a 92 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: much larger problem in California with a surge in fraud 93 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: cases related to hospice care. 94 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 4: So this investigation is far from over. 95 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 3: And while it appears that everyday Americans are being left 96 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: behind by blue states like California and Minnesota, there are 97 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: still strong support for President Trump and his administration in 98 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 3: their efforts to get our country back on. 99 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 4: Track and make our world safer. 100 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: Now while the left and mainstream media continue to undermine 101 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: the President's America First agenda, let's hear what everyday Americans 102 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: think about the President and it's military operation against Iron 103 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: and the recent cease fired deal. 104 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 4: Take a listen. 105 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 5: Do you think this ceasefire is a product of the 106 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 5: President's a piece through springs policy. 107 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 3: I do. 108 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 6: I do, because when he went in on day one 109 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 6: and took care of the matter, I think he definitely 110 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 6: was able to bring strength through peace in a certain way. 111 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 6: So I'm hoping that that can actually transfer into a 112 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 6: peace deal, which I'm very confident he'll be able to 113 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 6: do so. 114 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 7: I would wager to say there's more behind the scenes 115 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 7: that we're aware of, and things are just falling into 116 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 7: place as planned. 117 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: So wise words from Americans. 118 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 3: Americans are always smarter than politicians give them credit for. 119 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: And they see what's happening. 120 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. 121 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: Did you see who the prosecutor was in this California 122 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: front case, Ron Bonte. 123 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 4: Oh, Attorney General Bob Bonte. 124 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: So why is that important? 125 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 1: Because this went on for ten years or many years, 126 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: several hundred million dollars. Only now after the Feds and 127 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: President Trump get going. 128 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: Remember how this started. 129 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: We wrote the first stories after Governor Wats was named 130 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: by president nominee by the Democratic Party. We highlighted, and 131 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: then the prosecutors came and questioned us. They once started 132 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: arresting and prosecuting people. Then Nick Shirley went out, and 133 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: then Nick cually went to California, and CBS News went 134 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: out to California. And now Democrats who used to turn 135 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: a blind eye to it our race and to try 136 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: to beat the Feds to prosecute someone that's going to 137 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: be good for the tax payer laun term. Yeah, well, 138 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: a little competition is a good thing. 139 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 140 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 3: And Rob Bonta is exactly the type of person that 141 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: would be the latest in this pipeline of attorneys general. 142 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: Pretty much all of his predecessors have sat on this fraud. 143 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: This is not something I have no disillusion that the 144 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: State of California did not know that this was happening. Unfortunately, 145 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: in California, you have to triage fraud because they're so 146 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: dang much of it. 147 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well, there's a little fire under the darriers 148 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: of some of those state officials, and that's going to 149 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: be good because the state and Feds working together will 150 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: recover a lot more money, punch a lot more people quicker, 151 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: save the American taxpayers some money that they've long been 152 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: robbed of. All right, we got a great and we're 153 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: going to kick it off with a really good one. 154 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: She joins us from the great Stata, Wyoming.

And that is exactly 166 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 8: what ironie is. I remember the nineteen seventy nine Iranian Revolution. 167 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 8: I remember how things changed instantly for the women of 168 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 8: that country when the Islamic Jihad came in. And they 169 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 8: have lived under tyranny for forty seven years. And here 170 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 8: is President Trump. He is he is the first president 171 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 8: after decades and decades and decades who's been willing to 172 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 8: go in and actually rescue them from having to live 173 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 8: under the thumb of the Iya tool is. This is 174 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 8: also some that we have to understand that we have 175 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 8: been paying a terror tax since nineteen seventy nine as well, 176 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 8: just exactly with what around has done over the last 177 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 8: two weeks, with the straight of hor moves, they have 178 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 8: attempted to hold essentially the entire energy industry, or the 179 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 8: entire oil and gas industry that many countries depend upon. 180 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 8: They have held a hostage for years by threatening to 181 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 8: do exactly what they've done, which is blocked traffic in 182 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 8: the straight of hor moves. This is a tyrannical country. 183 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 8: They are the least the leading state sponsor of terrorism. 184 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 8: They have retavoc throughout the region for far too long, 185 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 8: and I am incredibly proud of the President for taking 186 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 8: action to free the United States, really free the world 187 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 8: from this tyranny and also try to provide stability and 188 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 8: certainty within that region. 189 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. 190 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: A global solution if you pulls us off, there's no doubt. 191 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 4: Absolutely well in Congress one. 192 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 3: There's another aspect of this that I wonder if it 193 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 3: will actually hurt Democrats in the midterms. I know a 194 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: lot of people are saying that this is going to 195 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: hurt Republicans, especially the longer it gets dragged out. But 196 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: we all remember the rhetoric of Democrats surrounding the withdrawal 197 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: from Afghanistan. There was nary a word about the thirteen 198 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: service members at Abbey Gate or it was rare, and 199 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 3: the messaging now they are highlighting on every perceived negative 200 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: of this conflict. Do you think that voters will recognize 201 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 3: the hypocrisy there? 202 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 8: And I think that it is more than hypocrisy, because 203 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 8: they truly are taking the side of what has been 204 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 8: an enemy of the world for many, many years. It 205 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 8: is stunning to me that the President has actually taken 206 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 8: a position that forces the Democrats to defend the government 207 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 8: of Iran. And I do think it's going to hurt 208 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 8: them in the midterms. I think that things are going 209 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 8: to stabilize over there. I think that the President absolutely 210 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 8: has a plan of action. I think you're going to 211 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 8: see more and more of the oil ships being able 212 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 8: to navigate the straight of hor moves and again, we 213 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 8: are hopefully freeing the Iranian people from the tyranny that 214 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 8: they have suffered under. And to compare it to Afghanistan, 215 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 8: as I think in comparison what Joe Biden did, one 216 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 8: of those brave military members was from the state of Wyoming. 217 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 8: We suffered greatly because of the decisions that Joe Biden made. 218 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 8: And yet hear you compare that, or you compare Libya 219 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 8: to what we have done in this operation, and it's 220 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 8: night and day. And I think that that demonstrates the 221 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 8: leadership that you receive with the Trump administration as compared 222 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 8: to what the Biden administration did. 223 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: Place where we haven't seen much leadership during this conflict, Europe. 224 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: They left us in the cold, even though midway through 225 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: the operation they learned something very harrowing, something that President 226 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: Trump was warning Iran had developed mid range ICBMs that 227 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: could reach the European continent. Still they don't join our fight. 228 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: They don't even let us in some cases like Spain 229 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: fly over the airspace. Is there a growing appetite in 230 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: Congress to reevaluate NATO, to maybe shut down some of 231 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: the bases, pull out entirely. What are the range of 232 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: options and what's the appetite in Congress now? 233 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 8: I think that this is for discussion. I don't know 234 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 8: that I can give you a deffinity banc around that, 235 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 8: but what I can say, I think the actions taken 236 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 8: by our so called European allies are the results of 237 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 8: the mass migration that they have allowed to invade their 238 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 8: countries over the last several many years. I think what 239 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 8: you're seeing is that the Muslim population in those countries 240 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 8: really have a stranglehold on many of the people that 241 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 8: are in leadership. And I think it's playing out in 242 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 8: space right now before our eyes. And I think that 243 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 8: this is something that needs to be discussed in much 244 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 8: greater detail as to what is the real impact when 245 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 8: you import people who are absolutely antithetical to your culture 246 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 8: and actually want to undermine the very form of government 247 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 8: that you have. What does that mean on the national stage, 248 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 8: on the international stage, and I think we're seeing it 249 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 8: play out by what our allies have done with in 250 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 8: relation to this particular conflict. 251 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 3: Congress Homan, just one more follow up on this, the 252 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: War Powers resolution vote that's going to be coming according 253 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 3: to Orny Leadershoomer, next week, what do you make of it? 254 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 3: I know we know which direction Democrats are going to go. 255 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: How many Republicans do you think will side with Democrats 256 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: in this issue? 257 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 4: And Frank, I hate to sound. 258 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 3: So flippant, but doesn't matter, because there have been a 259 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: lot of military actions in the last ten twenty thirty 260 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 3: forty years that didn't even come close to that type 261 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: of vote. 262 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 8: Well, actually eighty years. The last time that there was 263 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 8: the Congress declared war was in nineteen forty two. So 264 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 8: you look at all the conflicts that have taken place 265 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 8: since then, the Vietnam, Korea, the War on Terror. We 266 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 8: can go on and on and on. I don't think 267 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 8: that it is going to go anywhere. I don't think 268 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 8: it should go anywhere. I think that we have to 269 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 8: trust our commander in chief for this particular operation, and 270 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 8: I hope I wish him all the success in the world, 271 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 8: because I think ultimately the world wins Congress. 272 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: Froman before I let you go epas leed Zelden's made 273 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: a lot of progress on regulations that were harming the county, 274 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: but there's still a lot of people trying to shut down. 275 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: And one of the great power engines in America, the 276 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: diesel engine, tell us a little bit about what progress 277 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: we've made and where there are still some threats to 278 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: common sense. 279 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 8: Well, one of the things that happened in the Obama 280 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 8: administration is the requirement of using diesel exhaust fluid in 281 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 8: our trucks and our tractors, and our diesel vehicles and 282 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 8: our tow trucks. And it's absolutely been devastating to so 283 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 8: many of the important industries, whether it's the egg industry, 284 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 8: the trucking industry, the towing industry. In fact, just this week, 285 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 8: I was with one of the very oldest trucking companies 286 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 8: in the state of Wyoming. They've been in business for 287 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 8: one hundred and forty five years. They've actually been in 288 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 8: business longer than trucks have existed, because they used to 289 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 8: use buckboards and haul things out to the oil fields 290 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 8: and to different things. They said that it used to 291 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 8: be that they would get about a million miles on 292 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 8: an eighteen wheeler engine. It's now down to about five 293 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 8: hundred thousand miles because of the fact that they have 294 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 8: to use diesel exhaust fluid. So that does not provide 295 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 8: an environmental benefit. And I have heard many horror stories 296 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 8: where people have been stranded because they ran out of 297 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 8: death or the system itself in their vehicle's malfunctions. So 298 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 8: I am working to find a way to repeal the 299 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 8: requirements that our vehicles be retrofitted so that they have 300 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 8: to use diesel exhaust fluid. I know that Lee Selden 301 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 8: has also been working in that regard, issuing a couple 302 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 8: of orders in August and February and March of this year. 303 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 8: We're moving in the right direction, We're moving in a 304 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 8: common sensor action, but we still have more work to 305 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 8: do in lights some of the horrific regulations and requirements 306 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 8: put in place by both Obama and Biden when it 307 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 8: comes to actually powering our economy and protecting our industries. 308 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, such important and just common sense. I mean, if 309 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: you lose half of your engine life, that is a 310 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: huge burden on the carriers of American and quite frankly 311 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: gets passed on to us the consumers. So, Congresswoman is 312 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: always great to have you on the show. We love 313 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: having you on. 314 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 8: Thank you. 315 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, what a great conversation as always. 316 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: All Right, folks, we're gonna take a quick commercial break 317 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: when we come up next the alliance between the US 318 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: and eight and what's next. We were touching on that 319 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: with the Congresswomen. We're gonna file a lot more of 320 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: a justin vulterform Pentagon official right after. 321 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: These emissions messages. 322 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: Recently, the Tragy Department released its financial report for twenty 323 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: twenty five, and the media ignored it. 324 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: Here's what it showed. 325 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: Six trillion in assets, forty seven trillion in depth, a 326 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: whole of forty one trillion dollars. US government is in 327 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: solvent by its own numbers. This comes after the Big 328 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill added three trillion more to the deficit. Interest 329 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: payments alone now top one trillion a year. 330 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: That's more. That means the spend on defense. Now. 331 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: I spent my career digging into documents the powerful don't 332 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: want you to see, and what I'm seeing now has 333 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: me and many others worried. Central banks around the world 334 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: are buying gold at a record pace. China, India, Poland. 335 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: They're not waiting around. They know what's coming.

They are 362 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 3: on Mark Ruda is having to defend a group of 363 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: people who were not willing to come to the table 364 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: and defend the United States in this It. 365 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 4: Kind of put Mark Ruda in an uncomfortable situation. What 366 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 4: do you make of the rhetoric? 367 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 3: And I suppose the debriefing that we heard from each 368 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: of them about that. 369 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 7: Meeting, Well, it's certainly an interesting meeting. There's definitely a 370 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 7: lot of tension given the fact that NATO didn't step 371 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 7: up during this conflict, plain and simple. And President Trump 372 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 7: isn't just applying pressure to Iran, He's applying pressure to 373 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 7: the entire system around Iran, and NATO's part of that. 374 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 7: And I think ultimately NATO really let the US down, 375 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 7: especially as it relates to the strait of our moves. 376 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 2: And I think what we. 377 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 7: Saw today was was a NATO Secretary General trying to 378 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 7: balance the line with the alliance, but at the same 379 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 7: time President Trump being very very clear in terms of 380 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 7: his disappointment and lack of just from. 381 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: NATO all around. 382 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a clear message. And it's so ironic 383 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: because in the middle of this conflict. After Europe left 384 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: US in a lurch, we went and did our own thing. 385 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: And then Iran fires and miss at David Garcia shows 386 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: he can reach the European capitals, just like President Trump 387 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: was warning. 388 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: And still Europe doesn't come and. 389 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: Realize, hey, he is actually taking out an existential. 390 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 2: Threat for US. How does that happen? 391 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: How does the Europeans realize, oh my god, Iran has 392 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: worse weaponry than we knew, they can hit us, and 393 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 1: they still don't want to join US. 394 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's quite baffling. I mean, you would think after 395 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 7: Iran displayed some capabilities that may or may not have 396 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 7: been aware of and especially could threaten Europe directly, that 397 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 7: at least Cornado countries would be doing a lot more 398 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 7: to really step up and show support to the United States. 399 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 7: I mean, for decades, NATO has operated on this assumption 400 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 7: that the US would carry the load. And that being said, 401 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 7: you know, President Trump is completely flipping that on its head, 402 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 7: and he's doing this in real time where the crisis 403 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 7: is forcing this inflection point acutely. So I think it'll 404 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 7: be interesting to see, you know, what comes out after 405 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 7: this meeting. But ultimately, I think, you know, President Trump 406 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 7: has been very clear, and Europe should take notice that 407 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 7: if they want to continue to have a strong security 408 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 7: relationship with the United States, that more cannon should be 409 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 7: done from their side to make sure that they hold 410 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 7: up their endo the bargain. 411 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 2: That's a great. 412 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 3: Point, justin there are some NATO aligned analysts who say 413 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 3: it's not a lack of will, it is a lack 414 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 3: of way when it comes to them supporting Number one. 415 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: Is that true? And number two? Is that a purpose? 416 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 7: I think that's a convenient talking point to, you know, 417 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 7: back away from what's the fundamental purpose of this NATO alliance, 418 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 7: and that purpose is that, you know, when there's a 419 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 7: global security situation where NATO could step up and to 420 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 7: start that role to protect and serve the United States, 421 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 7: and in this sense, ultimately you know, NATO should There's 422 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 7: there's definitely a way, and I think that's a convenient 423 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 7: talking point to back away from those obligations. 424 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. All right. 425 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: I want to talk about optionality that the president has, 426 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: because it's clear he's going to exercise some of that 427 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: optionality after this meeting. It seems to me I don't 428 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: think a complete divorce seems likely yet but maybe shutting 429 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: down some of the bases that are major economic drivers 430 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: across Europe that that might send a pretty strong message 431 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: pretty quickly. 432 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 7: Oh, certainly. I mean, President Trump, you know, definitely has 433 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 7: a lot of options at his disposal. And I'm I 434 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 7: can only imagine, you know, all the different scenarios that 435 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 7: are being run through right now. I mean, tens of 436 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 7: thousands of American soldiers and airmen and marines and sailors 437 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 7: are stationed all across Europe and in many cases, you know, 438 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 7: have been for decades since World War Two, and this 439 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 7: has been a fundamental component of keeping Europe safe. And 440 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 7: I think ultimately, you know, that is a huge card 441 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 7: that President Trump could play, especially when Europe is very 442 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 7: concerned about the Rush Ukraine situation and potentially you know, 443 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 7: having that conflict expand, and if the US signals that, 444 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 7: you know, we may pull out troops from some of 445 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 7: these countries, I think that would certainly be a huge 446 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 7: wake up call. And you know, hopefully, you know, it 447 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 7: doesn't resort in you know, the entire alliance breaking down. 448 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 7: But I do think that President Trump has a lot 449 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 7: of options. 450 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 3: The administration has moved from basically we have achieved all 451 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 3: of our military goals to speaking about this almost as 452 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: though it's in the past tense a month from now, 453 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 3: do you anticipate that that will still be the case, 454 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 3: that things will be much improved, this cease fire will 455 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 3: hold and will lead to greater negotiations, or will we 456 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: frankly be right where we are right now. 457 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 7: Well, I think with the enormous military success and incredible 458 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 7: display of American power from the US military over the 459 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 7: past month, I think it's really has forced Iran to 460 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 7: the table, and I think, you know, as these negotiations 461 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 7: play out over the next few days, I'm confident that 462 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 7: this will be a true shift in the conflict. And 463 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 7: I don't think we'll be exactly where we are thirty 464 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 7: days from now, because I think it's very clear from 465 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 7: Iran's perspective that the US military can at any point 466 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 7: in time operate essentially, you know, unchallenged, all across the 467 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 7: country at any point in time. 468 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, they also proven they can find any leader they 469 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: want and kill them, and including those who might be 470 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: at the table tomorrow. I want to talk a little 471 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: bit about how much more leverage we've had. I think 472 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: people go through and say, listen, we've been doing this 473 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: dance with Iran for forty seven years, but the level 474 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: of destruction that Iran has endured in the last six 475 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: weeks is epically different than any other time in American history. 476 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: How much more leverage does that give to the President 477 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: in these negotiations and Vice President Jadivance, who's the lead 478 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: man on this, And if we had to go back, 479 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: what would going back in another round cost iron I 480 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: can only imagine what that looks like. 481 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 7: Well, I think despite hitting literally thousands of targets all 482 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 7: over Iran successfully, these were focused on, you know, very 483 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 7: high level strategic military targets. I mean, President Trump was 484 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 7: very clear that, you know, if Iran doesn't come to 485 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 7: the table, that there would be significantly more consequences around 486 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 7: you know, energy, oil, infrastructure, and really just squeezing all 487 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 7: aspects of power to constrain Iran. And so I think, 488 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 7: you know, it was very obvious that Iran didn't want 489 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 7: that to happen, and thus, you know, this ceasefire being 490 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 7: agreed to is the result. 491 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right. 492 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 4: Future of the straits of hormones. 493 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 3: I feel like the longer that this drags out and 494 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 3: the longer that the openness of the Strait is in 495 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 3: question that there will eventually have other countries who are 496 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 3: willing to protect their own passage of their own products 497 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 3: they are purchasing. 498 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 4: Is that true? 499 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: I think so. 500 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 7: But I think, you know, ultimately, this ceasefire gives me 501 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 7: a lot of optimism that ultimately, you know, goods will 502 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 7: continue to flow in unfuttered ways through the Strait. I mean, 503 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 7: we saw some of the first cargo ships going through 504 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 7: earlier today, and I think we'll see a continuance of that. 505 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 7: But ultimately, if this drags on significantly longer, I think 506 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 7: that's another way where Europe will be forced to step 507 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 7: up and maybe even other countries to secure their commercial shipping. 508 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 2: Before we let you go. 509 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: While this is predominantly a conflict between America, Israel, and 510 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: Iran in the military operations, sitting just a little ways 511 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: off the conflict is Russia, which used to get all 512 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: of its deep drones from Iran and now ninety percent 513 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: of those factories are gone. China, which gets most of 514 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: its cheap oil from Iran. China and Russia have they 515 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: been weakened by what the United States has already achieved. 516 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 7: I think they have. I mean, ultimately, you know, Iran 517 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 7: is a very effective source of power to China with 518 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 7: the with the cheap oil supplies. And I think that, 519 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 7: you know, as China really incorporates, you know, what happens 520 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 7: in Iran to the strategy, I think they're incentivized to 521 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 7: stabilize as quickly and you know, ironically, you know, while 522 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 7: strong adversaries of the United States, I do think China 523 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 7: is very incentivized to get the straight offm moves back 524 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 7: and oil flowing to them. 525 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: That's a great point. 526 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's a. 527 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 3: Big incentive where we're Senior advisor to Secretary of War, 528 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 3: Pete Heg said, justin fulture, thanks so much for being 529 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 3: with us tonight.

There's so much going on in America. 555 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: One of the untold stories of the Iran conflict thus 556 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: far as not only NATO leaving US an alert, but 557 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: all the Sunni Arab nations had often been a little 558 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: reluctant to get around anything Israel is doing, coming and 559 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: becoming perhaps a stronger coalition of the willing than we've 560 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: seen at any time since the Persian Gulf War one 561 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one. It's pretty remarkable. Joining us to 562 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: make a good sense of that the Vice president for 563 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: National Security and Foreign Policy at the Aritish Foundation and 564 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: the former deputy National security advisor to President Trump and 565 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: a great friend of the show, Victoria Coates. 566 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: Victoria, great to have you back on. 567 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 9: Wonderful to see both of you. 568 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: All right. 569 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: There are so many silver linings or unexpected developments in 570 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: the conflict. I know there's a lot of uncertainly still 571 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: where this will end. But you've got the Arab suones 572 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: more aligned with his zoo in America than anytime I 573 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,479 Speaker 1: can remember since maybe the invasion of Kuwait and China 574 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: and Russia. Well, losing some assets and some leverage in 575 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: the region. Walk us through that dynamic. 576 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 2: Now. 577 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 9: This is really what's going to be exciting going forward 578 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 9: is all of the assumptions under which we have labored 579 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 9: as policymakers really since nineteen eighty and President Carter establishing 580 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 9: the Carter Doctrine, by which the United States would guarantee 581 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 9: the free flow of energy out of the Gulf. All 582 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 9: that is changing and what President Trump has done, and 583 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 9: credit where credit is due. The Iranians have contributed to 584 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 9: this by shelling their neighbors indiscriminately and turning ever in 585 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 9: the region against them. What they've done then is gotten 586 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 9: all of our partners in the region. So we're talking 587 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 9: not just about Saudi Arabia and UAE, both of whom 588 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 9: have behaved exemplarily in this conflict, but also in countries 589 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 9: like Katar, and then they're all lining up with Israel 590 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 9: behind the United States. This is the strong coalition. And 591 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 9: so going forward, I think what you'll see is those countries, 592 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 9: essentially the GCC plus Israel looking at an alternative infrastructure 593 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 9: for energy in the Middle East that bypasses the Strait. 594 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 9: We won't necessarily be talking about the Strait for anything 595 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 9: essentially but fertilizer. At this point, all the rest of 596 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 9: the products can travel by pipeline. It'd be nice to 597 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 9: take them out by ship through the Strait, but if 598 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 9: the Iranians are acting up for whatever reason, we're going 599 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 9: to have a whole new pipeline architecture across the Arabian peninsula. 600 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 9: That will make that meaningless. 601 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: Boy, that's huge, huge, Victoria. 602 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about another aspect this the 603 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 3: vice president, who just a few weeks ago, the media 604 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 3: was saying, where is vice Where's the vice president? 605 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 4: The president has. 606 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 3: Obviously lost confidence in him, and then all of a 607 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 3: sudden he is not only frauds are but now he 608 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 3: is in this very important position traveling to Islamabad this 609 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: weekend to head negotiations. It seems that the president his 610 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: confidence in the vice president is not shaken at all. 611 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 9: No dirty little secret. The president actually has full confidence 612 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 9: in the Vice president, who has a wonderful staff. I 613 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 9: interact with them regularly. 614 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: You know. 615 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 9: The a notion that Vice President Vance is some sort 616 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 9: of wild eyed isolationist is just wrong. He asks a 617 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 9: lot of very pointed questions. He wants to make sure 618 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,959 Speaker 9: that policymakers are putting America's first, that's as it should be. 619 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 9: And he represents the president and the President's views. And 620 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 9: so he's taking with him two of the president's key 621 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 9: people in Special Envoy Witkoff and then also Jared Kushner, 622 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 9: obviously the President's son in law, and they are going 623 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 9: to be a really formidable team because for no other 624 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 9: reason then the President has given them all of the cards. 625 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 9: Iran has lost this conflict by any conceivable metric. The 626 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 9: last little piece of leverage they're clinging to is the 627 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 9: strait of hormotes, and as we've discussed, that is an 628 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 9: asset of diminishing value for them. They have nothing else, 629 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 9: and so I think the Vice President is ready to 630 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 9: drive a very hard bargain. And as he said on 631 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 9: the tarmac yesterday, all of those forces the President poured 632 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 9: into the region, they're going to hang around just make 633 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 9: sure things go the way we want them to go. 634 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a pretty big threat if you're iron because 635 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: you have no way to defend against those assets anymore. 636 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: It's pretty remarkable. It seems to me that what could 637 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: be constructed here is a lot of concessions from Iran 638 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: on the security front, and they probably want a pretty 639 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: good sizeable ATM back in return. Is that a good 640 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: way of looking at what's probably really on the table 641 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: right now? 642 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 9: Well, they need that ATM John because they've shut down 643 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 9: their internet now for thirty seven days. That's not happened 644 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 9: in any modern economy. We don't know how much damage 645 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 9: that's done. We know that they were complaining mightily about 646 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 9: shutting it down for three days in January. What's happened 647 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 9: has got to be almost close to systematic failure. And 648 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 9: speaking of ATMs, all their ATMs are empty. There's no 649 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 9: cash left, and if there is cash, it's cash they're 650 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 9: printing in ten million real nodes, which are worth about 651 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 9: seven dollars. So the second front of this war is 652 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 9: not a ground force invasion of Iran. It's the economic 653 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 9: pressure the President's been putting on Iran since the first term, 654 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 9: since the maximum pressure campaign, and he's been doing it 655 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 9: again over the course of the last year. So they 656 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 9: have no recourse and they know it. They have to 657 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 9: have the sanctions relief or the country ceases to exist. 658 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 9: So I think the basic three points the President has 659 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 9: laid out no nuclear weapons, no missiles, and no terrorist proxies. 660 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 9: Those are pretty basic. That's easy for them to meet. 661 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 9: And we've actually taken care of the missiles for them, 662 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 9: largely taken care of the nuclear so they can just 663 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 9: hand over what the President's calling the nuclear dust, the 664 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 9: highly enriched geranium, and we can get to a deal here. 665 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 9: But then the point of all that is that that 666 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 9: whatever survives that will have the seeds of its own 667 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 9: destruction sewn into it. That's when the Iranian people can 668 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 9: start to insist on reforms that allow them an orderly 669 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 9: transition to a freer future. 670 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 4: That's a great point. 671 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 3: I just want to ask you one more about NATO, 672 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 3: because this is something I mean, President Trump has been 673 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 3: talking since before he even came down the Golden Escalator 674 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 3: about NATO's value or lack thereof to the United States. 675 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 3: Do you think that he would make good on his 676 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 3: notion that he would leave NATO. 677 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 9: I think the President is going to demand a new 678 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 9: NATO for new Europe. And I was not working for 679 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 9: Secretary Rumsfeld when he was ambassador to NATO in nineteen 680 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 9: seventy four. I was a little bit younger than but 681 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 9: I've read his memos back to then Secretary Kissinger years 682 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 9: ago saying the Europeans were not investing enough in their defense, 683 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 9: that we were creating a culture of dependency. That's what 684 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 9: President Trump is going to break now. And the countries 685 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 9: that do pay, and our Baltic allies, Poland Romania are 686 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 9: Scandinavian friends that are in NATO, they're all investing at 687 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 9: five plus percent of their GDP in their defenses. Those 688 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 9: are the countries we should prioritize. And Old Europe can 689 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 9: I mean, they can't defend themselves. The Brits can't get 690 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 9: a single destroyer into the theater to help us. Where 691 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 9: is the vaunted British Navy. It's nowhere, and so we 692 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 9: have to focus on New Europe, the partners that will 693 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 9: support us. Hopefully Old Europe will get the memo and 694 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 9: start to perform better. 695 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: Before we let you go, Victoria, I would say that 696 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: China's had a rough few months. It's energy vulnerability is 697 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: exploited and exposed by the strait of our movies being 698 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: shut down by its oftentime ally Iran. It's influence in 699 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: the Latin America hemisphere significantly reduced. Its gamemanship with Panama 700 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: didn't go well, and its economy is not faring that 701 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: well even by their own numbers, and they tend to 702 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: inflate their numbers. How much has trying to been losing 703 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: in the Trump two era. 704 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 9: Now it's a rough year. You're absolutely right for the 705 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 9: access of evil. They've lost one member in Venezuela entirely, 706 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 9: they're abound to lose another in Iran, they might lose 707 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 9: a third in Cuba. And you now have North Korea 708 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 9: distancing themselves from all those saying, oh, we have nothing 709 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 9: to do with Iran, don't come get us, and they 710 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 9: should be concerned. I think the President will be looking 711 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 9: at North Korea. But what we're going into here, John, 712 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 9: is this really critical summit in May with President Trump 713 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 9: going to Beijing. Now, Chairman g could have canceled that 714 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 9: if he cared about Iran, he might have said, oh, 715 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 9: because you are starting this conflict with Iran, you know, 716 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 9: in solidarity with our Iranian brothers, we're going to cancel 717 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 9: the summit. 718 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:00,919 Speaker 2: Now. 719 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 9: They said we want you to come, and then President 720 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 9: Trump postponed it. They said, we still want you to come. 721 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 9: They want to talk to the stronghorse. They want to 722 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 9: talk to the guy who's just taken out Madora, who's 723 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 9: about to take out who took out the Ayah Toola, 724 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 9: who's about to take out Cuba. And so, you know, 725 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 9: this is a really powerful message to China. We can 726 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 9: project power wherever we want. 727 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 4: You can't. 728 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 9: And so this is really an interesting moment, and hopefully 729 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 9: we'll have time for lots of discussions going into that 730 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 9: summit in May. 731 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 2: It's going to be fun. 732 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Vice President for National Security and Foreign Policy at 733 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 3: the Heritage Foundation, one of our favorite folks for wisdom 734 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 3: on all things foreign. 735 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 4: Policy, Victoria Coats, thanks so much for bringing with us. 736 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 4: Thank you absolutely. 737 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 3: And coming up next to the Trump administration is pushing 738 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 3: back against ultra process processed foods, thankfully.

Thank you. 787 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 3: I have to ask you because you know, we've got 788 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 3: this new food pyramid. You've got President Trump and the 789 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 3: entire Trump administration, especially RFK Junior, talking about ultra processed foods, 790 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 3: and it seems like it is striking a nerve with 791 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 3: all of the right people. 792 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 10: Are we on the right path? 793 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 11: I think we are. 794 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 5: You know, we've come a long way too, turning the 795 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 5: pyramid upside down. And I think what's happening is people 796 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 5: are generally just sick and tired of being sick and tired. 797 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 11: They're really starting to feel the. 798 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 5: Effects of what happened generation after generation of eating ultra 799 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 5: process refined foods with so much sugar. 800 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 11: People up to this point have been feeling. 801 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 5: The effects of a poor diet. They've been feeling low energy, 802 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 5: they've been feeling inflamed, and they've been fed upon a 803 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 5: bunch of pills and they're just fed up with that. 804 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 5: So they want something new, they want something different. They're 805 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 5: looking for real whole food and real good solutions. 806 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about our grocery shopping because 807 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 3: obviously we want to maintain a healthy diet. With respect 808 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 3: to keeping processed foods to a minimum, what's the ideal ratio, 809 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 3: because sometimes it's almost impossible to avoid all processed foods, 810 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 3: especially if you like to cook and bake. Eighty twenty 811 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 3: as far as stuff that has a label on it 812 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 3: and stuff that doesn't, how do we break it down? 813 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,479 Speaker 11: I think eighty twenty is a good rule. 814 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 5: There's a lot of convenience in foods that you can 815 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 5: take with you and snack and things like that. But generally, 816 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 5: when you do go grocery shopping as often as you 817 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 5: can shop on the ends, you know where the eggs are, where. 818 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 12: The vegetables, the real vegetables are, the fruits are, the 819 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 12: whole proteins are don't go inside the aisles as much 820 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 12: and think that that's where you want to get your 821 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 12: dinners and your lunch and your breakfast. 822 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 11: Go on the outside. 823 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 2: Right. 824 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 5: The things on the aisles are there for like dressings 825 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 5: and to help make your foods a little bit more tasty, 826 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 5: but don't go there first. 827 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 11: Right. 828 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 5: So if eighty twenty helps you, that's great. And when 829 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 5: you're eating, really think about building your plate around protein. 830 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:04,399 Speaker 2: Right. 831 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 11: Protein is the building block. 832 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 5: It's the thing that's say shiating, It's what boosts up 833 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 5: your metabolism. It's a big needle mover in your diet 834 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,320 Speaker 5: and affects your health. And that's the same way we 835 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 5: want to think about college and right, the most abundant 836 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 5: protein in the body one of the best things you 837 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 5: can do to supplement this modern American diet that we've 838 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 5: been all been eating to fill in the gaps for 839 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 5: what's missing. 840 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: That I was at dinner with someone not that long 841 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,760 Speaker 1: ago and they had, I guess, an adult young adult 842 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: child who had some sort of skin problem that was 843 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: related to over hyperactive inflammation, and so the skin was getting. 844 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 2: Sores all the time. 845 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: They started taking college and they noticed a really significant improvement. 846 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: Are some of these growing skin diseases. We see a 847 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: lot of drugs in the markets. It'll say, hey, we'll 848 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: get rid of that rash for you. But is there 849 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: some evidence that collagen can help in the healing of 850 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: skin swords that are related to inflammation. 851 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 5: Well, you know, the skin issues typically come down to 852 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 5: irritating foods in the gut, right, Foods that are reacting 853 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 5: in the gut that get into bloodstream that didn't show 854 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 5: themselves as a skin issue. 855 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 11: So we really want to think about that. 856 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 5: If you have bumps on your skin or something like that, 857 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 5: it's not so much a topical cream that we need 858 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 5: to put on our skin that we've been thinking about. 859 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 5: It's something that we're eating that's irritating in the gut, right, 860 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 5: And typically those are processed foods. 861 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 11: Those are sugar. Gluten's a big one. 862 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 5: Dairy can be problematic for people in many cases. So 863 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 5: we want to remove those foods and we want to 864 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 5: go back to repairing the gut lining, right, And that's 865 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 5: where collagen really comes back in, is it seals that 866 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 5: gut lining. It prevents all these foreign proteins from getting. 867 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 11: In the bloodstream. 868 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 5: Then all of a sudden, you can start absorbing the 869 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 5: food and the nutrients that you're taking in. And then 870 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 5: it's a needle movement right when you prove your gut 871 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 5: is central to the health of your entire body as 872 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 5: well as the health of your brain, your mood. 873 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 11: It's all connected to your gut. 874 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,800 Speaker 3: As I said, I love the collagen. I just started 875 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,479 Speaker 3: using the greens. I use the berberine.

Joining us is political strategists and author of 897 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 3: the book The Political Vice, John Tilman. 898 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 4: John, Welcome to the show. 899 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 13: Great to be with you, Amanda, Thanks for having me. 900 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely, we're delighted to have you. 901 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 3: But you know, I look at these issues where Democrats 902 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 3: are on the wrong side of, you know, eighty twenty, 903 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 3: ninety ten, seventy five, twenty five issues, the Save America Act, 904 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 3: trans issues, immigration, They are consistently on the unpopular side. 905 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,359 Speaker 4: Of these things. 906 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 3: And yet you look at midterm polling and they are 907 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 3: doing fine and dandy. 908 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, And now that's kind of the point of the 909 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 13: book is that the left understands that the winning elections 910 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 13: is a propaganda war. And there's the famous term that 911 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 13: politics is downstream of culture. What they know is that 912 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 13: that means they have to be at the headwaters of 913 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 13: the river talking to voters all the time, twenty four 914 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 13: to seven, three sixty five, every year, not just election years. 915 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 13: And they use the media, which is one side of 916 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 13: the political device, to in doctrinate propagandas on issues. The 917 00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 13: other side of the vice, which is the American people, 918 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 13: and then me while at the bottom of the vice, 919 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 13: which are e lead influencers. They have tremendous control over 920 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,399 Speaker 13: the comms systems of universities K through twelve, education, all 921 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 13: the nonprofits in the NGOs. We've learned about, corporate communications, 922 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 13: and all the rest of it. So there's this constant 923 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 13: drum beat by them among those people who are thinking 924 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 13: of voting. But meanwhile, when you take that away and 925 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 13: you do the polling on the issues, the issues resound to. 926 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 2: The right, the political right. 927 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 13: But when it comes to the brand of Republican and Democrat, 928 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 13: the Republican brand is tarnished because of all that power 929 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 13: I just described putting pressure on the political system, which 930 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 13: is a pressurized system. 931 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was lucky enough to get to read this 932 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: book early before it came out. 933 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,879 Speaker 2: It is sensational, John. 934 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 1: And there's two things that I walked away thinking about 935 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 1: that are unresolved if you're a conservative or Republican. One 936 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: is the left still controls the cultural machinery in great 937 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: deal Hollywood music. Now there's some alternatives coming out, but 938 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: not in scope and scale yet. And then two, they 939 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: literally start running for the next election. The night the 940 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 1: first election ends, and so they've got this twenty four 941 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: to seven four year continuous machine. Republicans take a break 942 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 1: after elections and they may go a year and a half. 943 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: We've seen that to be pretty consequential in these off 944 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,720 Speaker 1: year elections where Republicans have underperformed every election since Donald 945 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 1: Trump won in November. 946 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 2: What is the key, I mean, you nail it in 947 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 2: the book. You diagnose the problem. 948 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: What's the key to solving those two deficits in the 949 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: election machinery. 950 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 13: Well, I wrote the book to try to get two 951 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 13: key aspects of this done. Number one is I think 952 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 13: the conservative right needs a skunk works brain trust, and 953 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 13: I'm not saying that we should have centralized command and control. 954 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 13: The left has centralized command and control. That's why you 955 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 13: see affordability becomes suddenly the talking point that everybody's talking about. 956 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,439 Speaker 13: The whole debate going on about right now in a RAN, 957 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 13: and they have really done an amazing thing to make 958 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 13: the American people think we're failing in a RAN when 959 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 13: we're having one of the greatest successes ever. They have 960 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 13: command and control, centralized messaging, and it permeates all their 961 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 13: distribution channels with the right content that gets people to 962 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 13: think Democrats are better than Republicans. The problem on the 963 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 13: right is that we're like cats. We don't like to 964 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,919 Speaker 13: be herded. We're very independent, and we don't actually see 965 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 13: government as the be all and end all. The left 966 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 13: sees the government as their ultimate aim. They are after power. 967 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 13: Most of the people on the right want to devolve 968 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 13: power out of government and back to the people. So 969 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,240 Speaker 13: we actually need to do is be willing to form 970 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 13: a command and control to go on offense on key 971 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 13: issues that will properly brand the Democrats as to who 972 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,760 Speaker 13: they are. Who they are when it comes to protecting 973 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 13: criminal aliens that are convinting violence here in the United States, 974 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,280 Speaker 13: the whole men playing women's sports, gender transitioning of children, 975 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 13: want to get taxes into oblivion and preventing jobs growth 976 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 13: and investment in small businesses. Every issue that there are 977 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 13: those eighty to twenty issues. We need to go on 978 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 13: offense on those issues. President Trump is the first one 979 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 13: in a long time that has been better at going 980 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 13: on offense. But most of the time our side is 981 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,399 Speaker 13: reactive rather than proactive. One thing, and the second thing 982 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 13: is part of the reason I wrote the book, and 983 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,720 Speaker 13: I'm sending it out to a lot of my billionaire friends. 984 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 13: Is our investor class, our donor class, who are putting 985 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 13: tremendous amounts of money and many many sacrifices. I do 986 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,800 Speaker 13: believe we'd have to continue to invest in the popular culture, 987 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 13: the media, entertainment. There's been a huge improvement shows like Yours, 988 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 13: the cable chap ear news channel, and all the rest 989 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 13: of it. We've had a huge influx of investments in 990 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 13: conservative media, but we have to do more to reach 991 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 13: that untethered voter who's in the middle or the soft left, 992 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 13: who's not going to see these channels. And then we 993 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 13: have to start to one layer at a time, peel 994 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 13: off capacity and popular entertainment as well. 995 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 4: John, we've just got about a minute left. 996 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people notice when conservatives get 997 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 3: into office and then. 998 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 4: They really moderate. Why is that we got thirty seconds? 999 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,760 Speaker 13: That's why I wrote the book and how I started 1000 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,919 Speaker 13: down this journey. Liberal conservatives get into office, they move left. 1001 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 13: Liberals get into office, they just move further left. Why 1002 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 13: would does nobody move to the right. It's because politics 1003 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 13: is about pressure and the vice of the media, control 1004 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 13: of popular culture, control and elite influancier control applies to pressure. 1005 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,760 Speaker 13: We need to build those capacities. I was just talking 1006 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 13: about to get our handles on the vice and compete 1007 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 13: for pressure in the system, to support people doing the 1008 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 13: right thing and put pressure on people doing the wrong thing. 1009 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 3: Yeah. I hear a lot of people say where are 1010 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,279 Speaker 3: the conservative George Soros's and Noble Singham's And I think 1011 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,280 Speaker 3: that that is the type of pressure. It's money pressure. 1012 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,319 Speaker 3: Political strategist and author of The Political Vice.
