1 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, I'm David Zira. You're watching Breaking Point on 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: Real America's Voice News. I have my reading glasses on 3 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: because I just came from the doctor and they made 4 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: my visional blurry. They dilated my pupils, so I can't see. 5 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: But I hope everybody's well out there. It's great to 6 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: be with you. I had an action packed a week 7 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: a week and a half on the ground in Washington, 8 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: DC for two Pentagon War briefings. I sat in the 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: White House press briefing this past Monday, where Donald Trump 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: spoke to an extremely packed a Brady briefing room at 11 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: the White House and he took questions for like an hour. 12 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: And I was with Brian Glenn and Benny Ray Harmony 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: here from the network, just super people, and they were 14 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: at the Easter egg roll when I came into the 15 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: White House and Trump spent like forty five minutes, they said, 16 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: talking to them and reporters as well, and then went 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: into the briefing room and had like this two hour 18 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: press briefing. Could you imagine Biden doing that? Even Obama, 19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, because he just like talks and platitudes and folks, hey, folks, 20 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, and Trump was just really great, and you 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: could kind of tell how real Trump is because I 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: think he kind of thinks things through at the moment 23 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: and to kind of let you know what he's feeling 24 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: at the moment as well. And he showed concern, you know, 25 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: for the Iran conflict, you know, and when he said, oh, 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to take out their civilization, you know, I 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: think he meant that they're going to pay the price. 28 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: And when he was at the press briefing, he was really, 29 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, showing concern that I don't want to do this. 30 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt the people of Iran. But 31 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: there's no revolution fermenting on the ground there to any 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: large degree right now. You know, the son of the 33 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Shah claims he's the rightful leader to Iran and the 34 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: people to support him, and the people want him. And 35 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of great people and Persians that came up. 36 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: I dealt with them in business on Long Island. 37 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: Here. 38 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: We have five thousand Persians just in the city of 39 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Great Neck, the town of Great Neck here on Long Island. 40 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: And you know, but there's no big push for Rezapa Lavi. 41 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: The people of Iran aren't inclined to be reminded of 42 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: the days of the Shah. Now, the Shah led a 43 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: very progressive society and women were free and didn't have 44 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: to wear burkers, and kids were going to college, and 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: the Shah deserves a lot of credit for that. But 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: he also persecuted the Majahadin, the People's Majahadin of Iraq, 47 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the MK, the college students. A lot of people got jailed, 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people disappeared, and you know, I'm not 49 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: so sure they want to be reminded of that. And 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: maybe there's a government that comes in power at some 51 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: point in Iran that would be a mix maybe of 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: a Pallavi or those types, or a Marian Rajavi from 53 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: the NCRII which is the exile government from Iran over 54 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: that led the revolution in nineteen seventy nine that the 55 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: Mullahs and the clerics in Iran hijacked from them. They 56 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: promised them they'd be included, and they weren't. And like 57 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand members of the People's from 58 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: Jahadin the m K were killed in Iran. A lot 59 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: of them fled to Iraq where they joined the Iran 60 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Iraq War on the Iraq side, and then they went 61 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: to Albania, I think about four thousand, where they had 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: a special operator's encampment for a long time. They're on 63 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: the ground in France, in Paris, I think that's where 64 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: Mariam Rajavi may be. But I don't see a big 65 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: push on the r end either. I know they've led 66 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: a lot of demonstrations. I'm not on the ground in Iran. 67 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: I've never been there, but I don't see anything really 68 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: jel or fomenting. And so Trump is stuck dealing with 69 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: that three or four or five levels deep of an 70 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: interim type government and what kind of guarantees will we 71 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: get out of them that these people will have a 72 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: seat at the table. I think that's critical to these negotiations, 73 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, one starting in Pakistan with JD Vance today 74 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: and other types of communications. They have to include some 75 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: type of guarantee that the people aren't going to be 76 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: mowed down in the street anymore. Because I saw videos 77 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: this week and I think they were real of a 78 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: thousand women in burkers saying that the ceasefire was a 79 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: victory for Iran. And I don't see mass demonstrations of 80 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: people in the street, and I know we were bombing, 81 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: and I know they're starting, and I know there was 82 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: one day in the Persian New Year, the Fire Festival, 83 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: there was like one hundred and seventeen uprisings around the country. 84 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: But you still have an Iranian militia with like a 85 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: million members of it that do the enforcing, I believe, 86 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, which still has the Internet 87 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: shutdown going on forty days or so. The people can't communicate. 88 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: We don't have starlings. We should have dropped ten thousand 89 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: starlings in there last year after the June bombings. That 90 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: would have been great. Because the Iranian government's going after 91 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, VPNs of people. They're also going after any 92 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: satellite dishes, any other satellite forms of communication from the people. 93 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that the Iranian you know, the radical 94 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: sect that for two and three generations has been saying 95 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: death to America, are out of power. I'm not convinced 96 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: that they still don't have a grip on the people. 97 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: And I'm not so sure that there, you know, are 98 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people in Iran who 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: truly hate America still, and I don't know if that's 100 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: ten percent or thirty percent or seventy percent, but it's 101 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: got to be a big number, and you know, I 102 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: hope we can navigate through that. And I think militarily, 103 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: I've attended seven White House press briefings so far. Hag Seth, 104 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: I think is a dynamic guy. I think he's doing 105 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: an incredible job. There haven't been many missteps on the 106 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: US military operations side of things. It's got to be 107 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: a tough job. They're going after him in the media, 108 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: telling everyone he gave a Nazi salute in a speech 109 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, they just can't They're not giving 110 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: him a break for a minute. So I have a 111 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: lot of respect for what they're doing in there. And 112 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: I've been covering the Department of War for about five 113 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: months now and what I see on the ground, traveling 114 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: with them across America from California to Utah, to Rhode Island, 115 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: to Maine, to North Carolina to Florida, interviewing they head 116 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: of Space Command that you know, they really are motivated 117 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: in the Pentagon and they're looking to cut out some 118 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: of the red tape. I have participated in a budget 119 00:06:54,839 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: meeting this morning with the Pentagon. It was a zoom 120 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: meeting and talking about getting the budget pushed forward where 121 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: it eventually gets adopted by the House Armed Service Committee 122 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: and the National Defense Authorization that gets to present to 123 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: the Core. It's still a bureaucratic mess, right, I'm sure. 124 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 1: And it's a huge budget and it's like a trillion. 125 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: Trump wants to make it a trillion and a half, 126 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: and so they're starting to put it together. But even 127 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: Hegseth says, listen, this is a bureaucratic engine over here, 128 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to cut the red tape, and he 129 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: says it with Trump all the time, with Trump's defense 130 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: acquisitions orders, I executive orders. I know, I talk about 131 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: it all the time, but there's something to be said 132 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: for it because they're working with private industry and academia 133 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: around the country and private partnership sometimes fifty to fifty 134 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: with the private sector to get weapons systems delivered to 135 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: the war fighters quickly on the battlefield. And it's really important. 136 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: And I don't think the BIDE demonstration or BOMB could 137 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: have pulled anything like this off like we're doing in 138 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: a round. And I think it's because Trump hit the 139 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: ground running last January in a wartime footing and heg 140 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Seth was in lockstep with him on that, and I've 141 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: seen it in action. I saw some innovative products down 142 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: at Fort Bragg with the eighteenth Airborne, the eighty second Airborne, 143 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: the Dragon's Layer competition. I watched the attitude. And now 144 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about tripling our capacity for our pack three missiles. 145 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: You got your THAD missiles up top, you got your 146 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: pack threes and your patriots. You know where we're kicking 147 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: out pack threes at three times capacity. Right now, We're 148 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: going to start manufacturing triple threefold and in partnership of 149 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: private industry again. And I was up in the ironworks 150 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: in Maine where we're getting out guided missile destroyers faster, 151 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: maybe building the Trump battleship type armaments up there as well. 152 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: And I was in Rhode Island where we're building the 153 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: Columbia class submarines replacing in the Ohio. Now I know 154 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: there's a gap and we have to keep the Ohios 155 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: and service longer, I think. But anyway, a lot of 156 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: issues going on. I got a great show for you today. 157 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: I've got Jonathan Tobin from JAS News because I want 158 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: to clear the air a little bit about Israel and 159 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: it's right to defend itself. And Hesbelah has been murdering 160 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: Israeli's for five six decades, and you know they cannot 161 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: let up on Hesbela. And why is it okay? The 162 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: night of the seas fire that around dumps dozens of 163 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: rockets into Iran and Bahrain and all these other into 164 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: Israel and Bahrain and these other countries, and Israel's not 165 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: allowed to respond the next day with bombings. So and 166 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: but listen, there's also Christians have been injured by Israeli bombings. 167 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: So I'm not all one way. But Israel has the 168 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: right to defend itself. And in my opinion, they are 169 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: our greatest ally. Who else?

Busy, You're coming up midterms really important, 216 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to talk about Mamdanni for one 217 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: minute before we bring in our next guest. You know, 218 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: Ma'mdonnie doesn't know what he's doing and he's also evil 219 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: at the same time. Right, So, there's been a business exodus, 220 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: did you know? In last year alone? In twenty twenty five, 221 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: five thousand businesses have left New York City. Eight hundred 222 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: and ninety two major corporations have left New York City. 223 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: New York City lost twenty thousand jobs in twenty twenty five. 224 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: He wants to raise the corporate income tax on top 225 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: of that, from seven point two to eleven and a 226 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: half percent. He wants to raise taxes for financial sector companies, 227 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: which about half of them have left for Dallas West 228 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: Palm Beach. He wants to put an additional two percent 229 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: tax and anyone worth over a million dollars or making 230 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: a million dollars per year. But remember New Yorkers are 231 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: already paying an additional four percent for living in New 232 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: York City on top of the incredible state income tax 233 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,239 Speaker 1: that caps out in double digits. And the most egregious 234 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: thing is the estate tax generational wealth in New York City. 235 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: He wants the estate tax to go from fifteen percent 236 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: to sixty percent and by the way. He's been the 237 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: benefactor of good weather. But rapes are still up seven 238 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: percent for the year in New York City, and eighteen 239 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: thousand New Yorkers have already been assaulted in the street 240 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: felony of misdemeanor salts and that's with four feet of 241 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: snow on the ground all winter. So imagine when the 242 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: weather gets better. That's the reason result of Mamdanie and 243 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: cops are retiring our record pace. They're vested, they're not 244 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: staying on. We're not going to see those additional five 245 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: thousand cops, I think in New York City. So we 246 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: got issues, but I want to get right to it 247 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: with Anajurtar Taly. She's the DHS reporter for the Washington Examiner. 248 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: We love having her on. Welcome Anna, Hey, David, thanks 249 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: for having me any time. I know you're busy. I 250 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: know you've been real busy. I see you everywhere on 251 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: social media the Washington Examiner. A lot of ground to 252 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: cover at DHS. Why don't you tell us the latest 253 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: about what's going on. 254 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, the latest is that former Senator Mark Wayne Mullan 255 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 5: has been in the job for almost three weeks now, 256 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 5: and he is quickly making changes to what his predecessor, 257 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 5: Christinome had put in place. 258 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 6: He got rid of a one hundred. 259 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 5: Thousand dollars requirement that all contracts over that amount be 260 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 5: reviewed by Christinome, which has slowed down FEMA payments to 261 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 5: people and contracts across the department. DHS has almost twenty 262 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 5: two agencies and offices, so lots of contracts review there. 263 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 6: And he's doing stuff with ICE as well. 264 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 5: He's trying to crack down on sanctuary cities in a 265 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 5: new way that could bring about results in a way 266 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 5: that we haven't seen just this far. 267 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you what are some of 268 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: the good things that christinoam did you know? I like 269 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: Christinom a lot, and I think they accomplished a lot 270 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: in the first year. Right over there, I mean, three 271 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: million people have been deported or have self deported? Is 272 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: that correct? 273 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 5: If they've claimed that three million people have voluntarily departed, 274 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 5: But they haven't shown any data about how they know that. 275 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 6: What we've seen is that that it. 276 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 5: Was based on people in the workforce, and those figures 277 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 5: included people who were illegally in the country and legally 278 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 5: in the country, So we haven't seen a breakdown on that. Certainly, 279 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 5: the border has gone from you know, the crisis of 280 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 5: the Biden administration years to the best shape in fifty 281 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 5: five years as far as the number of people being 282 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 5: apprehended across in the. 283 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 6: US Mexico border. 284 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 5: But a lot of this is people in the workforce, 285 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 5: people doing the job every day, getting back to normal 286 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 5: because it started very quickly, and having the right people. 287 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 6: I think in those positions. 288 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 5: You have a lot of career senior law enforcement positions 289 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 5: running agencies and across those agencies who know how to 290 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 5: do the job, regardless of who's at the top. 291 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: I asked Tom Homan at the White House last year 292 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: late last year if they were able to prove any 293 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: of the crime numbers going down in our cities and 294 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: across America and correlation with the deportation of illegals. At 295 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: the time, they didn't have hard data. Has there been 296 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: any data release to prove a correlation so we can 297 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: go into the midterms and the Republicans can make a 298 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: case that this has worked. 299 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 6: You know, we haven't seen. 300 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 5: Any data to support that either way, and I think 301 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 5: that's something that we could see the White House release 302 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 5: in the coming months as we get closer to the midterms. 303 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 5: My colleague and I right now are looking at which 304 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: states have seen the most illegal immigrants arrests by ICE 305 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 5: since President Trump took office, and we're planning to issue 306 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 5: a report in the next several days on that and 307 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 5: a surprise on who comes out the first with not 308 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 5: who we expected. 309 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: A lot of news coming out of DHS Anna you've 310 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: been reporting, tell us about the ICE warehouse industrial space leasing, 311 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: and also about customs officers possibly being pulled from sanctuary 312 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: states or cities airports. 313 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 5: Mark Wayne Mullen is looking at pulling customs officers from 314 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 5: Customs and Border Protection. So those are the men and 315 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 5: women who screen your passport, screen different documents where you're 316 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 5: coming into the country at a sea, land or airport 317 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 5: of entry, and saying that if sanctuary, say in New York, 318 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 5: won't cooperate with ICE, why is the federal government going 319 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: to be releasing and vetting people who they released from 320 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 5: airports into those cities. Sort of a way to get 321 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 5: those cities to come forward and work with the federal 322 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 5: government on better cooperation between ICE and local police. 323 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: Is that realistic? Is that realistic? Imagine something customs away 324 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: from JFK it's. 325 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 5: A new approach we've never seen no one can do, 326 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 5: you know, And like TSA, TSA are not law enforcement. 327 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 6: That's why they make a lot less money than federal 328 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 6: law enforcement. 329 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 5: They're not actually police, but federal law enforcement officers who 330 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 5: screen those passports. They cannot be duplicated, so that that's 331 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 5: a really interesting move that we've never seen before and 332 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 5: could have really broad implications on travel even people leaving 333 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 5: the country as well. And as far as ice Ice 334 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 5: Hade planned moved to buy ten warehouses across the country. 335 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 5: They were really trying to beef up detention space, and 336 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 5: some of those proper have been purchased, but Mullen has 337 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 5: decided at this point we're going to pause that process. 338 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 5: There was a facility in Utah that was about fifty 339 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 5: million dollars overpaid by Mullen's predecessor, and so they're looking 340 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 5: into those type of issues cost effectiveness and you know, 341 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 5: do we need to searche and expand capacity for detention 342 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 5: as much as his predecessor thought was necessary. 343 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: Similar to the way Homan diffused the Minneapolis situation because 344 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: they think he did. You know, is this also about optics? 345 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: Maybe before the midterms that you know, we don't want 346 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: mass demonstrations in front of warehouse deportees, and maybe they're 347 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: coming up with better methods that could maybe still have 348 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: an effect and make it our streets safer. 349 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 6: That's a really good point. 350 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 5: You're right, because certainly the communities have gotten involved in 351 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 5: a number of different cases where they were looking at 352 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 5: buying these warehouses, and in some instances we're able to 353 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 5: push the sellers to decide not to go and sell 354 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 5: the ice because they got such a blowback from local residents. 355 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 6: So you're right. 356 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 5: Having people staged outside these warehouses is certainly going to 357 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 5: be a bad look for Republicans. 358 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 6: Or maybe a good look. 359 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 5: It depends how things go, but it certainly could descend 360 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 5: into rioting like we've seen at ICE facilities. We've even 361 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 5: seen shootings targeting ICE officers at those facilities. So we're 362 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 5: going to see what they ended up moving forward with 363 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 5: in the future. 364 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: Wow, so much going on. Tell us about some of 365 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: the accomplishments other than the warehouses that Mark Wayne Mullen 366 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: is working on. 367 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Mullen's biggest accomplishment. 368 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 5: What I'm hearing from senior officials within the entire department 369 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 5: and different agencies. Is he's told people just to get 370 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 5: back to normal. He's not Corlowandowski, who was an associative 371 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 5: former Secretary Christino, was very involved every day, hands on 372 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 5: with operations and sometimes from what sources had told me, 373 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 5: pushing them to do things in ways that wasn't how 374 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 5: they were taught to do them. And so what Mullen 375 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 5: has told them is, you know, I'm on your side. 376 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 5: I want to help you as much as possible, but 377 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 5: you have a job to do it and I need 378 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 5: to look good as long as you're doing that. So 379 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 5: he's given them a lot of freedom back and to 380 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 5: the folks I've spoken with, that is a very good thing. 381 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 6: And we'll continue to. 382 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 5: Watch and see if that freedom is translating into success 383 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 5: for the administration's goals. 384 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: It's kind of nice to see that the administration can 385 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: also recognize, you know, that there needs to be changed. 386 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: Every administration does it. It doesn't mean the people who 387 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: were leading it were bad people, but you know, this 388 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: is new to a lot of people. Also, the immigration 389 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: enforcement issue the way we've seen it and roll under Trump, 390 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: I think there was a learning curve. I think, you know, 391 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: when Bovino left Minneapolis and and Vino is a great 392 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, patriot, great American, but the tactics were harsh, 393 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: and the visuals and the and the videos that came out, 394 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: you know, maybe wasn't digestible to the people. Uh and maybe. 395 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 5: But it's but it's confusing, right, I mean, President Trump 396 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 5: is very much that style. So if I'm Christine Omer 397 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 5: great Brevino, I'm thinking that this is what the president wants. 398 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 6: He loves this. And then for the President to change 399 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 6: his mind and you to. 400 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 5: Be pushed out of a job in the middle of that, 401 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 5: I think it is certainly confusing on their part. Say, okay, 402 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 5: apparently we're going with a different rhetoric and style. 403 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Right right, And you know, maybe listen, put the pushback 404 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: from the people in Minneapolis. Not everybody's a paid protester. 405 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: And I interviewed the people in the neighborhoods and they 406 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: were really aren't informed about the Constitution, and they were 407 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: right off the boat from Somalia and other things. But 408 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: they weren't bad people. They're raising families. They don't want 409 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: the optics of ice on the street failing to recognize 410 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: the jails were the ones who weren't turning over the 411 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: criminals to ICE. So ICE had to go into the 412 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: neighborhoods and then if anyone was in the house and 413 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: they're illegal, they got rounded up by law. Right, So 414 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not even know as the consequences. I'll 415 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: give you the final word here. We have about forty seconds. 416 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 5: You know, Minneapolis is two months ago, now almost three months, 417 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 5: but it seems so long ago. And I think it 418 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 5: goes to show that the narrative has shifted and what 419 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 5: the Trump administration did has has allowed the Republican Party 420 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 5: to pivot from that to other issues, to Iran, and 421 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 5: we could be back to immigration before the midterms, but 422 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 5: for now it's pulling a little bit better than it 423 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 5: was in January. 424 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: Okay, Anna jar Telly, really quick, what's your social media? 425 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 6: Anna underscored, you're a tilly. 426 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: All right, thank you again and we'll follow up with you. 427 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate your time, Thanks so much. 428 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 2: David. 429 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: All right, we'll be right back. Welcome back to breaking point. 430 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: I'm David Zeer. I took my glasses off because I 431 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: could see a little better now. I had my pupils 432 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: dilated at the doctor and almost crashed into like three 433 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: cars on the way here. To the studio, but thank 434 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: you for joining us today. We have a great lineup 435 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: for you today. We just heard from Manager Telly the 436 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: DHS report of the Washington Examiner. They got great reporters, 437 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: and of course right now we have once again Kaylin Deese, 438 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: the DOJ reporter from the Washington Examiner. Actually, first I 439 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: want to throw to a clip. I was at my 440 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: seventh Department of War press briefing with Pete hag Seth 441 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: at the White House press briefing earlier in the week 442 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: with Trump. It was just jam packed with people, a 443 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: lot of roote press, a lot of root press that 444 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: Depenagon briefing. But let me just play my questions I 445 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: had for Pete. 446 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 6: Good morning, mister the second Chary, Mister Chairman David Zeeer, Real. 447 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: America's voice during the ceasefire? What do we do when 448 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: we see I ran rearming, regrouping, repositioning weapons systems, and 449 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: air defenses? And also have we confirmed the specific model 450 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: type of air defense or man pads that took down 451 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: our fifteen and is it still a threat for our patrols. 452 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 7: We're still working through the specific details around that particular 453 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 7: shootdown and the crews when they normally return go through 454 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 7: a debriefing process along with the other members of that 455 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 7: flight that we're out there, and they'll go back as 456 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 7: they always do, and forensically look at what are the 457 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 7: tactical lessons learned. Did we sensor see something? Could we 458 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 7: have done something different? We do that, as I mentioned 459 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 7: in a prior press conference, every single time we take 460 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 7: any loss like that, so that we become a quick 461 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 7: learning organization. On the other part of your question around 462 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 7: the movement of Iranian military forces, US Sentcom will continue 463 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 7: to monitor that situation. They will continue to have a 464 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 7: series of response options, and if need be, will come 465 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 7: to the Secretary and of the President for guidance and 466 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 7: be prepared to do the things that they're ordered to 467 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 7: do so against valid military targets in accordance with the 468 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 7: normal procedures. 469 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 2: That we have. I would just know it's a good question. 470 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 2: The more Iran moves, the more Iran moves forces, the 471 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 2: more they emplace forces, the more easily targetable. 472 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 7: They are for US. 473 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: Right now, Remember, we're able to look, we're able to see, 474 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: we're able to sense, we know they so if they 475 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: try to preposition, they're just creating riper military targets for 476 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: US to strike should they make the wrong decision. 477 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 5: At the table. 478 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: It's amazing how the US military operates with precision and 479 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, very few mishaps, and it's just incredible. You know, 480 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: all those thousands of launches off the flight decks of 481 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: the Abraham Lincoln and the Ford Dangerous jobs. Catapult operators, 482 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: people are incredible who serve our country. I want to 483 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: bring on right now though again Kaylin Deeson, Washington Examiner, 484 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 1: DOJ reporter. 485 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 8: Hi, Kaylan, Hey David, thanks having me on. 486 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I want to do kind of like a speed 487 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: round a lot to cover. Let's talk about some of 488 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: the issues. What are you working on and how do 489 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: you feel about DHS? Mark Wayne Mullen, I know you 490 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: from Oklahoma. 491 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, I really am thrilled to see a fellow plahome 492 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 9: NB at DHS, and it really seems like he's leading 493 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 9: the job fairly well. As Anna was saying just a 494 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 9: moment ago, it seems like this freedom to navigate some 495 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 9: of these issues and the trust that the Trump administration 496 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 9: is getting somebody like Mark Wayne, who's really shown through 497 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 9: his work in the Senate that he is about his 498 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 9: agenda about immigration, reform. I think that what Mark Wayne 499 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 9: is doing is absolutely fantastic. What I'm working on specifically, though, 500 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 9: is this transitionary period we're seeing right now with Todd 501 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 9: Blanche at the DOJ, watching some of the new moves 502 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 9: that he's announcing, like the announcement of the Fraud Division 503 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 9: this week that's going to be headed by Colin McDonald 504 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 9: and worked together in conjunction with Vice President Jade Vance 505 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 9: on tackling national fraud and just seeing where this DOJ 506 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 9: is going to change or how much it really will 507 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 9: change given the fact that Deputy Attorney's Todd Blanche or 508 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 9: he was the deputy was right underneath Bondie. I mean, 509 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 9: he said that he gave us thanks to BONDI said, 510 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 9: it's going to be much like the work that they 511 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 9: had just left off whenever she departed. So, I mean 512 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 9: it seems like for the most part, he's trying to, 513 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 9: you know, fill a couple of different roles by leading 514 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 9: the department forward, but also acknowledging that, you know, Bondie, 515 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 9: it wasn't a terrible, you know rift, It was just 516 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 9: sort of, you know, someone else need needed to take 517 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 9: up where she had left off. 518 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: Any chance Blanch stays on for a confirmation hearing. Is 519 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: leezeld In the front runner any other names out there. 520 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 9: I think that there's a definite chance that Blanche could 521 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 9: stay on just by virtue of him already being confirmed 522 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 9: in the Senate and there being a bit of an 523 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 9: open question about whether they would be able to bypass 524 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 9: that process if they were to just go ahead with 525 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 9: him being the permanent Attorney general pick. But I think 526 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 9: that lee's Elden would do a fantastic job as well. 527 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 9: I think he would bring a new set of skills 528 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 9: to the table with his leadership as the head of 529 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 9: the EPA, knowing the ins and outs of those environmental 530 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 9: cases and being able to deliver on Trump's agenda and 531 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 9: bringing justice in cases, especially the fact that lee's Alden 532 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 9: knows first and foremost the types of injustices the Democrats 533 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 9: brought against Trump in his first term as serving as 534 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 9: his impeachment attorney. 535 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. I worked around Lee for many many years. He 536 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: served on a board I ran the American Patriot Hero 537 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: Fun We Help Veterans. He's a combat veteran himself. You know, 538 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: he was a lawyer, but he was colonel in the 539 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: Reserves and spend time in Iraq. I think the world 540 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: of him. Okay, NFL anti trust issues, what's going on? 541 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, So there's this big question right now about whether 542 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 9: the NFL and its partnerships with streaming services and just 543 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 9: the litany of different streaming services that we have today 544 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 9: versus even just. 545 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 8: A decade ago, has put the NFL. 546 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 9: In a situation where they are not giving consumers the 547 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 9: best deal when it comes to being able to allow 548 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 9: them access to view all the games that happen in 549 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 9: a given season. I mean, you have all these different 550 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 9: streaming services that get some subsets of games, others get 551 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 9: the other subsets. 552 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 8: And there's a question about, by. 553 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 9: The end of the day, if you're a true hardline 554 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 9: NFL fan and you're trying to watch the most games 555 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 9: you can in a given season, the tick or the 556 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 9: I'm sorry, the amount of money that's being paid to 557 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 9: have access to all those games might amount, at least, 558 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 9: in the words of Mike Lee, who's been a really 559 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,239 Speaker 9: stickler on this issue, might amount to upwards of one 560 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 9: thousand dollars to be able to really view all the 561 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 9: games just from. 562 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 8: Your living room sofa. 563 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 9: So the DJ appears to be looking into some of 564 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 9: the previous anti trust regulations that gave a bit of 565 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 9: a loophole for the NFL to you know, have some 566 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 9: wiggle room and not have to, you know, abide by 567 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 9: some of the same anti trust rules as other types 568 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 9: of organizations and entertainment and media. And they're looking to 569 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 9: see if there's any sort of new regulations that maybe 570 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 9: should be put in place there so that you don't 571 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 9: have this abundance of different streaming services that are just 572 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 9: causing more burning cash inside the consumer wallets. So I 573 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 9: think it's something that is definitely welcome. I think that 574 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 9: Bondie even faced some criticism and her tenure at the 575 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,239 Speaker 9: DOJ for allowing certain deals to go forward, like the 576 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 9: Fubo deal that you know, caused a lot of people 577 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 9: some complaints about the their ability to watch certain games 578 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 9: on YouTube. So I think that there was a bit 579 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 9: of a criticism under her tenure, and the fact that 580 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 9: this DJ is seeming to try to bring some amends 581 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 9: to that problem, that problems that people were complaining about 582 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 9: before is a good sign, at least in Blanche's first 583 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 9: league in office. 584 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's terrible what's going on with sports, 585 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: and you know, I I it cost me like two 586 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: hundred and forty dollars to watch Yankee home games and 587 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: Yankee away games last year on one channel, and you 588 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: still didn't get all the games, and then you still 589 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: had to subscribe to the other channels, maybe Prime, maybe Netflix, 590 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: whoever's airing it, you know, and I think it's ridiculous. 591 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: You know, of cost if you want to follow a 592 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: full Yankee season, it's between two hundred and five hundred dollars, 593 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, to watch it on TV. You know, I 594 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: grew up with the Rabbit Ears and we watched it 595 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: for free. And we also got Boston in my house 596 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: because we're to Long Island is actually close to Massachusetts anyway. 597 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: So let's talk about Stanley Woodward. We have about two 598 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: and a half minutes. Tell us about that. 599 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 8: I'll try to distill this very simply. So. 600 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 9: There was reporting over the weekend that Stanley Woodward, the 601 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 9: number three in the DOJ who helped Trump back along 602 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 9: his campaign trail and specifically the classified Documents case. He 603 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 9: was representing Trump associate Walton Nada in that classified documents case. 604 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 9: He was seen very early on as a patriot and 605 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 9: a loyalist at Trump helping out where so many other 606 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 9: attorneys were deciding they didn't want to help out the 607 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 9: former president their litigation, but Stanley Woodward, Todd Blanche, people 608 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 9: of that ilk stood up and helped out the president. Well, 609 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 9: now Stanley is under fire because he's been under fire 610 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 9: actually for over a year because as we know, there's 611 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 9: been some criticisms out there by people like Laura Lumer. 612 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 8: She does a lot of good work. 613 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 9: But according to Peter Navarro today in an op ed 614 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,959 Speaker 9: that was featured in The Daily Caller, Laura Lumer is 615 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 9: friendly firing on Stanley Woodward by trying to advocate for 616 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 9: his removal because it's all surrounding his wife's public post 617 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 9: factory in around ten twenty twenty, whenever she had a 618 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 9: BLM photo in her Facebook profile. 619 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 8: So Stanley's been accused of being. 620 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 9: A closet Democrat and working against the administration. But you 621 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 9: have a lot of sources, at least sources that I'm 622 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 9: talking to the administration, that say Stanley has done phenomenal work. 623 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 9: He's not always on social media like some of these 624 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 9: other officials because he has a lot of business to 625 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 9: do as he oversees the six different divisions there in 626 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 9: the DOJ. But I have been told that Stanley, at 627 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 9: least as of Thursday, is still in the in the department. 628 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 9: So the report that he had resigned on Saturday has 629 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 9: very much so been disproven. He is still at the department, 630 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 9: and it really remains to be seen will he will 631 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 9: the pressure, you know, cause someone to think that there's 632 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 9: a need to remove him. I know that there's a 633 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 9: little bit of a question right now whether harmon harmon 634 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 9: dllon Dylan. 635 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 8: Could be elevated. Mm hmm, yeah, yeah. 636 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 9: I mean there's apparently been some push by David Warrington 637 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 9: over there in the White House Counsel's office to uh, 638 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 9: you know, see somebody like a harmat Dyllan elevated to 639 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 9: where Stanley is currently at. So Stanley, the report that 640 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 9: CBS came out with was saying that he would just 641 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 9: essentially be getting a demotion, not a firing or anything 642 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 9: like that. 643 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 8: But so far there's been no demotion this week. 644 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: Kaitlin, we have to run just a few seconds. Where's 645 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: your social media? 646 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 8: You can follow me on X It's Kaylin DC.

All right, I'm taking them off. 656 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: Like I said before, I had some shots in my 657 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: eyes today. My pupils are dilated. I haven't been able 658 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: to see for about three hours, but I know the 659 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: audience is out there somewhere. Welcome back to the show. 660 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: I've got a great guest with us right now, and 661 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: I always love having them because Jonathan Tobin, the editor 662 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: in chief of JNS news our JNS dot org, the 663 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: Jewish News Syndicate, always brings the facts to the table. 664 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: Welcome back, Jonathan. How are you, sir. 665 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 10: Great to be with you, David. 666 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: Great to see you. 667 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 10: So. 668 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: I hope your family, you know, had a celebratory passover weekend. 669 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 6: Right, thank you you too. 670 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 7: Right. 671 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: Kind of fell in line with Easter this year. I 672 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: saw my grandkids in Virginia. That is exciting. Okay, so 673 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: a lot to unpack here. I wanted to discuss quickly, 674 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: people on the right and people on the left saying 675 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: that Israel dragged us into this war. And I look 676 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: at it, like, you know, I'm a conservative pundit. I 677 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: am MAGA to the core. I'm not afraid or ashamed 678 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 1: to say it. But why is everybody so convinced that 679 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: Israel dragged us into the war? Can you separate fact 680 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: from fiction here for us? 681 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 10: Well, first, let's understand that the left is uniformly anti Israel. 682 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 10: There is a noisy minority on the right, led by 683 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 10: anti Semites like Tucker Carlson and Gandazoans that is viciously 684 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 10: anti Israel, But most Republicans, most of the MAGA movement 685 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 10: is pro Israel, just like Trump is. So let's understand that. 686 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 10: Let's not be cowed by the way the media, you know, 687 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 10: you know, puts this and tries to convince us that 688 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 10: everybody is against Israel. 689 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 1: Well, secondly, Israel didn't. 690 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, Well he's you know, listen, there are people who 691 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 10: warmed their way into the administration, but they're being winnowed out. 692 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 10: So let's let's understand that's a minority on the right, 693 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 10: not the majority. It's a majority on the left, not 694 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 10: on the right. Secondly, Israel didn't drag America into this war. Israel's, 695 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 10: you know, still a small country. The idea that you know, 696 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 10: it's like the left pretends that Trump is a king, 697 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 10: but then they say that it's you know, the king 698 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 10: is being led around by the nose by a little 699 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 10: country the size of New Jersey with less than ten 700 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 10: million people. It's just not true. Every American president, Republican 701 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 10: and Democrat, has viewed Iran as a threat for the 702 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 10: last twenty five thirty years. Everyone, even Barack Obama, said 703 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 10: the goal was to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons 704 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 10: and spreading terrorism and ballistic missiles. Own. The difference is 705 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 10: that Trump is doing something about it, and has done 706 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 10: something about it. That's you know, there's no discontinuity there. 707 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 10: There was no trick by israelse This war was fought 708 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 10: for America's interest. And let's understand something else. In a 709 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 10: world where most of America's allies, principally the Western European 710 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,959 Speaker 10: members of NATO, are terrible allies, they're not allies at all. 711 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 10: The one fellow democracy that is willing to fight cheek 712 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 10: by jow of the United States share all of its 713 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 10: vast store of information and intelligence, improve our weapons, fight 714 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 10: with us, die with us if necessary. Is Israel. Israel 715 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 10: is the one reliable ally that America has in the 716 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 10: Middle East and is willing to fight, you know, unlike 717 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 10: It's the perfect as even JD. Vance said back during 718 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 10: the twenty twenty four campaign, Israel is the perfect Maga ally. 719 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 10: And let's understand yet another thing we always hear about. Oh, 720 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 10: Israel gets, you know, billions in American aid, those billions 721 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 10: which I think Israel could do with, But it's not 722 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 10: really aid to Israel. It's aid to the American arms 723 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 10: industry because almost every penny of that of those billions 724 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,720 Speaker 10: and nearly four billion that Israel supposedly gets, is spent 725 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 10: in the United States, employing American workers, keeping our arms 726 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 10: industry going, so that America's interest can be served. So 727 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,280 Speaker 10: let's not buy into this. This really all these anti 728 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 10: Semitic tropes trying to demonize America's one really reliable fighting ally. 729 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: So I support Israel hundred percent. I think they have 730 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: every right to defend themselves. They've been in assault by 731 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: almost every Arab nation since nineteen forty late nineteen forties. 732 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: You know, they've lined up against them many times. Israel 733 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: has defeated them every time. They're under constant threat. Hundreds 734 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: of thousands of missiles and rockets have flown into Israel. 735 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: But you know, not all the critics I think are 736 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: anti Semitic. I think that they're you know, if they 737 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: take the America first, maybe to a degree where maybe 738 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: they're recognized that, Like, I feel like Israel's our most 739 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: important ally Without them there, you know, now, what are 740 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: you going to do. You're going to have the whole Sunni, 741 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 1: you know, Asia minor lined up against the United States, right, 742 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: because they need an enemy, right they're told that by 743 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: the fought was. 744 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 6: Listen. 745 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 10: Iran has been waging war in the United States since 746 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 10: nineteen seventy nine. That's the purpose of that regime. They 747 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 10: are at war with the West. Israel's the little Satan 748 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 10: to them, America is the great Satan. They killed more 749 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,919 Speaker 10: than a thousand Americans that they have been attacking us 750 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 10: all along. So the idea that this is Israel's war 751 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 10: is not is just not true. And of course one 752 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 10: can ask questions about the US Israel alliance, which is 753 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 10: unlike the NATO one, which is a formal alliance, the 754 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 10: one with Israel is an informal one. It's not based 755 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 10: on treaties. But the point is, you know, of course 756 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 10: we can ask questions. It's okay to ask that this 757 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 10: war is in America's interests. I think those who say 758 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 10: no are wrong. But those who demonize Israel, those who 759 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 10: float anti Semitic tropes, who engage in conspiracy theories to 760 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 10: which the answer is always Israel and the Jews. And 761 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 10: by that I am referring to Tucker Carlson and Kandae 762 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 10: Owens and the like. They are anti Semites. They are 763 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 10: really enemies of Trump, enemies, you know, the people who 764 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 10: are attacking American interests and you know, basically serving the 765 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 10: interests of horrible regimes like Iran. No, there they are, 766 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 10: you know, the serpent within, you know, the nest of 767 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 10: the Maga crowd and the prison and Trump and President 768 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 10: Trump has rightly denounced them. 769 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so okay. The first night of the Seasfire, 770 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: Iran dumps dozens of missiles into Israel again and Bahrain, 771 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: and you know, is can't let up their foot on 772 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: the gas against Hesbelah because they're always plotting to wipe 773 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:10,959 Speaker 1: out Israel and to kill Israeli citizens. Is it fact 774 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: or fiction that the Israeli bombings the day after the 775 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: ceasefire put the ceasefire jeopardy because I don't think there 776 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: should be linkage allowed. We didn't allow it in the. 777 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 10: First There wasn't lianguage. That was made clear, you know, 778 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 10: by the Trump administration by Vice President of Vance who 779 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 10: supposedly not the pro Israel one within this administration. He 780 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 10: made that clear. Hesbela has been firing into Israel and 781 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 10: you know, did so intermittently since October eighth, twenty twenty three. 782 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 10: They basically depopulated an area of northern Israel. One of 783 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 10: the most underreported stories of the post October seventh war 784 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 10: was the fact that there were hundreds of thousands of 785 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 10: Jewish refugees within Israel who were routed from you know, 786 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 10: who were forced to flee their homes, initially in the south, 787 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 10: but also in the north. Israel is not going to 788 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 10: tolerate that, just as America wouldn't tolerate that, least, you know, 789 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 10: an America not run by Joe Biden, I guess would 790 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 10: be the you know, would be the answer to that. 791 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 10: Israel is going to ensure that Hesbela is not a 792 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 10: threat to its people, and Israel is going to do 793 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,760 Speaker 10: what's necessary. That is a policy supported by the United States. 794 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 10: It's rational, it's what any sane country would do. And 795 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,280 Speaker 10: Israel isn't going to allow Hesbela, which takes its orders 796 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 10: from Iran. They're not just allies like Amus. They are 797 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 10: an auxiliary. They are a site, you know, they take 798 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 10: their orders from the from the Ayatolas in Iran. They're 799 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 10: not going to get away with that. Israel isn't going 800 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 10: to allow them to get away with it. Let me 801 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 10: say one more thing about this war before before we 802 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 10: have to end this segment. We keep hearing from the 803 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 10: liberal media and from the anti Trump crowd that it 804 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 10: was the war was a failure. This war has done 805 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 10: inestimal damage to an American enemy as well as an 806 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 10: enemy to Israel. Even if it's stopped now, and I 807 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 10: don't think this is end. I think Iran is incapable 808 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 10: of making a deal that President Trump or the American 809 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 10: people can accept, and I think it's likely, you know, 810 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 10: to resume at some point. But even if it didn't, 811 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 10: this has set back their nuclear ambitions, their missile program, 812 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 10: those are largely destroyed, their ability to you know, to 813 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 10: project terrorism. 814 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: They're the world's. 815 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 10: Leading sponsor state sponsor of terror around the world.
