Speaker 3: course you do. Who doesn't you know, we don't have

00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: a whole lot of guests here on Battleground Live. We

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: just don't the way that I bring on guests. And

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: you'll notice if I've seen many of you in the

19
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: live chats say, wow, Savage Rich is only savage on

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: this show. Well, at least you used to say that.

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: Now Savage Rich is kind of he's being him, he's

22
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: He's Savage on his show too. But the point is

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: Savage Rich has great, great perspectives, not just on polling. Yes,

24
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: he's the best polster in the business, but he's got

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: great perspectives on the politics of the day, you know, history,

26
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: the constitution, you name it, great perspectives on you know,

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: the the body politic here in America. It's just awesome

28
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: to get, you know, Savage Rich bearess once a week,

29
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: shotgun blasting his thoughts out there to the rumble sphere

30
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: and to those who listen on iHeart so same thing

31
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: with Brian Dean Wright. Brian Dean Wright is one of

32
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: the smartest, hands down one of the smartest foreign policy

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: analysts out there. Used to go on Tucker Carlson all

34
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: the time, but Brian also has really good perspectives, not

35
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: just about foreign policy but about everything. So I try

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: to bring on people who I think are just have

37
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: great personalities all around, people that I know that you'll like,

38
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: and so Brian Dean Wright, Savage Rich Bears certainly are

39
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: the regulars. Also want to give a shout out to

40
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: Dan Nunn in the Nun Report and his nun Chucks

41
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: for raiding the stream follow the nun Report. Folks. If

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: you're not following the nun Report already on Rumble, you

43
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: should be. Dan's got a great show. We should support

44
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: independent content creators. And by the way, the Trump administration,

45
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: the first four years, sorry, the second four years of

46
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: the Trump administration, seem to be they're going to be

47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: embracing independent content creators and podcasts. In fact, Caroline Levitz,

48
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: who's the White House Press Secretary, and her second press

49
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: conference today, she brought in and took a question from

50
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: the Ruthless Podcast. The Ruthless Podcast is you know, I

51
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: know the guys who host that show or great, great guys,

52
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: but that podcast has become one of the biggest political

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: podcasts in America. And she took the very first question

54
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: from the White House podium from the Ruthless Podcast guys,

55
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: which is pretty damn cool. Right, So, supporting independent content

56
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: creators is more important, more important than ever because I think,

57
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: you know, even at the presidential level, people are starting

58
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: to realize that independent content creators are the future. Whether

59
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: it's Rich Barris, whether it's Brian Dean Wright, whether it's

60
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: right here, Battleground Live, or or Dan Nunnan and the

61
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: nun report. We should be supporting those people. They're in

62
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: the future, and that's a good thing because people like

63
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: Chuck Todd, as Trump calls him, sleepy Chuck Todd, Well,

64
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: he's out at NBC and not a moment too soon.

65
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: And guess what, he's going over to Substack to start

66
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: his own thing. But this guy like, never forget. This

67
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: is the kind of stuff that the people like Chuck

68
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: Todd used to give us.

69
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 4: Please vaccinated. If you know someone who's not vaccinated, find

70
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: a way to convince them to get vaccinated. Literally, the

71
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: only people dying are the unvaccinated. And for those of

72
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: you spreading misinformation, shame on you. Shame on you. People

73
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: are needlessly dying because of your misinformation. Think about it.

74
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: I don't know how some of you sleep at night.

75
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: Who are doing this for a living.

76
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, bro, good luck out there as an independent Chuck.

77
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: But you know these people that are being first first,

78
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: it was jim Acosta, good riddens. You remember Jimmy co

79
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: in the White House. The guy was insufferable. Remember he

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: tried to wrestle a microphone out of a woman's hand

81
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: as he was just standing up incessantly yelling and sometimes

82
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: you know, actually all the time interrupting the president as

83
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: he was trying to answer, a woman came over, tried

84
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 3: to take the microphone from her, and he's like grabbing

85
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: the microphone, fighting with her. I mean, he's out at CNN,

86
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 3: and good because he sucks. And now it looks like

87
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 3: Chuck Todd is out at NBC and that's good because

88
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: he sucks too. And Jen Ruben is out at the

89
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: Washington Post and that's good because she sucks as well.

90
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: Just saying there has been a massive or there is

91
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: happening right now, a massive change happening in the media,

92
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: and I want you all to be on the front

93
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: end of it because good things are happening. Now, let's

94
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: transition to a more serious topic here. I want to

95
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: touch on this, this tragedy that happened in Washington, DC

96
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: over the Potomac. Before you do that, before I talk

97
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: about that, make sure you smash that like button, little

98
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: gray thumb beneath the video. Smash it. When you smash it,

99
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: it turns green. When it turns green, it helps us

100
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: make the leaderboard. So smash that like button, little gray

101
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: thumb beneath the video. Yeah, this horrific accident over the Potomac. Clearly,

102
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: there is a constellation of different things that played a

103
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: factor here, that was a factor in this crash. There's

104
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: an investigation going on. We don't know all the details. Clearly,

105
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: both Secretary of Defense Pete heggsas said that there was

106
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 3: some sort of elevation issue with the Blackhawk helicopter. President

107
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: Trump late last night said the Blackhawk helicopter was flying

108
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: way too high. And today, moments before we went live

109
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 3: on the show, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shut down the

110
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: airspace over the Potomac in and around Washington or DCA

111
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: Reagan International Airport. So lots of things happening really fast.

112
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: Still lots of unknowns. But if you're watching, and I

113
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: know some of you all listen, so this will be

114
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: tough to do, But if you're watching, pay attention to

115
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: this new video that just came out, because you know,

116
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: first of all, it's horrifying, right because it gives you

117
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: a very clear view of what actually happened between the

118
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: Blackhawk calicopter and the CRJ. But just look at the

119
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: trajectory of the black Hawk versus the trajectory of the flight.

120
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say.

121
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: These videos, obtained exclusively by CNN, show previously unseen angles

122
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: of the collision between an American Airlines fight and a

123
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: US Army black Hawk helicopter. In the first video, the

124
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: black Hawk can be seen flying at speed over the Potomac.

125
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: From the left side of the screen. The American Airlines

126
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: can be seen flying towards the airport before the two collide,

127
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: causing a mid air.

128
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: Explosion and fall into the road.

129
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: In a second video, you.

130
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: Can see the Army's going right the Airline light.

131
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: After the collision and subsequent explosion, the airliner can be

132
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: seen spinning into the water and the black Hawk is

133
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: also seen falling into the water.

134
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: So a lot of people have taken to the internet

135
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: and by the way they shared this video or this

136
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: they there's a rumor spreading online it was a trans pilot.

137
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: Trust me when I tell you, folks, no, it was not.

138
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: But a lot of people have taken to the Internet

139
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: and saying, well, how could something like this happen? It

140
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 3: looked like the Blackhawk flew deliberately into into the plane,

141
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: And I understand why people would think that, but believe me,

142
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: it's it's it's chaotic inside those Blackhawks. When you're flying

143
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: the radios in your ears, there's all sorts of radio traffic,

144
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: you're under night vision, all sorts of planes and lights

145
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: in the sky. I don't know what happened, but I'd

146
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: be remiss if I wasn't talking about it on the show,

147
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: because you know, sixty four brave souls perished, and I

148
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 3: was reading some of the stories today in prep for

149
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: the show, some of the you know, people who perished

150
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: on that flight. You know, I feel like it's my

151
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: duty as an American to know, you know, at least

152
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: a little bit about who these people were. And it's

153
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: just heartbreaking on so many levels. So I'm going to

154
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: do the best that I can keep you updated on

155
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: the story as new information comes out. In this case,

156
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: it was a new camera angle, but it's just a

157
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 3: heartbreaking tragedy. And three soldiers, three you know, American Army

158
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: soldiers perished in that as well, and so it's just

159
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: it just definitely want to get a sense of what

160
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 3: happened there. I want to talk a little bit about

161
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: the whole diversity equity and inclusion thing, because the media

162
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: is going after President Trump about this diversity equity him

163
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: talking about diversity, equity and inclusion. But listen Trump, Trump

164
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: is absolutely right about this. It's diversity equity and inclusion

165
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: is dangerous. It puts people's feelings about race, about creed,

166
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: about skin color over people's qualifications, and in professions where

167
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: lives are on the line, if you don't have the

168
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: best qualified person, it could mean death. It could be

169
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 3: the difference between life or death. And you know, I mean,

170
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: as for an example, listen to Sonny on the View

171
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: go after President Trump, and I don't know how she's

172
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: still on the air because what she says here is

173
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: absolutely horrifying. But just listen to this.

174
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not going to dignify his remarks about DEI

175
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 6: I'm not going to do that. But to Anna's point,

176
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 6: just last week, Trump fired the heads of the Transportation

177
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 6: Security Administration and Coastguard, and he also eliminated all the

178
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 6: members of a key aviation security advisory group. The Aviation

179
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 6: Security Committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't

180
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 6: have any members to carry out the work of examining

181
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 6: safety issues at airlines and airports. I think that that

182
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 6: is very telling that when you know, voters decide that

183
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 6: they want someone to blow things up and they want

184
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 6: someone to blow up infrastructures.

185
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 7: This is the result. You cannot blow up infrastructures and

186
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 7: take people that have real experience in these types of

187
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 7: issues and think that good things will happen because of it.

188
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: So that's just irresponsible and frankly ghoulish and disgusting in

189
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: the face of her nothing in the face of this

190
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: horrific accident. Nothing that she cited there of President Trump

191
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: shifting around personnel and government caused this horrific accident. Nothing, nothing, nothing,

192
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: but when President Trump is talking about the dangers of diversity,

193
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: equity and inclusion, specifically within the FAA, which has been

194
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: an egregious offender of race based hiring practices. In fact,

195
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: remember I told you yesterday that there was a lawsuit

196
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: of one thousand air traffic controllers who were turned away

197
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: who met the rigorous standards of the traditional air traffic

198
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: controller tests. They were turned away for people who were

199
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: less qualified, who also filled a race quota, and that

200
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: is a very very dangerous thing. Listen to Pete bootgg Geg,

201
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: who is a Secretary of Transportation, talk about all the

202
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: close calls that they were experiencing while he was Secretary

203
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: of transportation over a year ago. Nothing got done, by

204
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: the way, But listen, here he is, in his own words,

205
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: talking about the dangers of everything that we've been talking about.

206
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 5: How concerned are you?

207
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 8: I'm very concerned. We watch these things very closely. If

208
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 8: you look at the last decade or so, you would

209
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 8: see between ten and twenty times a year typically that

210
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 8: this would happen. This year, we're on track to have

211
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 8: more than twenty, and even one is one that I

212
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 8: would not like to see happen.

213
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: He's talking about close calls. This has been a problem

214
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: that has gotten worse. I mean, obviously Obama rolled out

215
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: these crazy d hiring practices in the FAA. Biden rolled

216
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: him out on steroids. This was an issue, these close

217
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: calls at airports all around the country while Biden was president.

218
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: You heard Pete Budageg talk about it right there, just

219
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: to give you a sense of why Trump is talking

220
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: about diversity, equity, inclusion. He's correct about this. But listen,

221
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: listen to this is a good example. Now, this guy

222
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: didn't get confirmed, but this was the guy that Joe

223
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: Biden picked to run the f a A. He didn't

224
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: get a confirm, but this is the guy that Joe

225
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 3: Biden wanted. Listen, listen just to just a little bit

226
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 3: of this.

227
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 9: There's an ADSB transponder.

228
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: I'm not sure I can answer that question right now.

229
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: That's okay, We'll just keep going.

230
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 9: So that's a that's a pretty important part. So what

231
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 9: are the six types of special use of airspace that

232
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 9: protect this national security that appear on FAA charts?

233
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 5: Sorry, Senator, I cannot answer that question.

234
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 9: So what are the operational limitations of a pilot flying

235
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 9: under basic MED?

236
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 5: Senator, I'm not a pilot.

237
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 9: So obviously you'd ever see that Federal Aviation Administration? So

238
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 9: any idea what those restrictions are under basic MED?

239
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 5: Quickly?

240
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 10: Well, some of the restrictions I think would be high

241
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 10: blood pressure. Some of them would be.

242
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 9: It's more like how many passengers per airplane, how many

243
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 9: pounds in different categories, and what altitude you can find

244
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 9: or so, and then amount of knots. It's a or

245
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 9: two hundred and fifty knots. So it's not having anything

246
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 9: to do with blood pressure. So can you tell me

247
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 9: what causes an aircraft to spend or to stall?

248
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 5: Again, Senator, I'm not a pilot.

249
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: Okay, let's keep going.

250
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 9: What are the three aircraft certifications FA requires as part

251
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 9: of the manufacturing process?

252
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 5: Quickly, please.

253
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 9: Three aircraft certifications.

254
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 10: Again, what I would say to that is that one

255
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 10: of my first priorities would be to fully implement that

256
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 10: Certification Act and reporting the three types.

257
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 5: Mister Washington, that the three types?

258
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, you get the point, right, And this

259
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: is I'm not trying to throw shade at mister Washington.

260
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: That's not what I'm trying to do. What I am

261
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: trying to say is that that was Joe Biden's first

262
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: choice to run the FAA. Clearly that choice had nothing

263
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: to do with his knowledge of the FAA. Right, Can

264
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: we at least be honest about that? Now, Again, the

265
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: confirmation process worked as it should in that specific instance.

266
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: But what do you think Biden was prioritizing over actual qualifications?

267
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: They're probably race right. And this is why President Trump

268
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: and his cabinet officials, whether it's Sean Duffy or Pete Hegseth,

269
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: have been talking about color blind and merit based. Color

270
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: blind and merit based because in jobs where lives are

271
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: on the line, you want the best of the best.

272
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: I don't care about people's feelings I want people who

273
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: are qualified because those qualifications and people's performance and jobs

274
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: like that could be the difference between life and death. Okay,

275
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: so I've got Brian Dean Wright on deck here in

276
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: a second, Okay, without further ado, my buddy, Brian Dean Wright,

Speaker 3: Paisley pocket square with that?

290
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 11: Well, you know I'm gonna have to invest in one.

311
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: this tragedy over the Potomac, the media has been going

312
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: after President Trump pretty hardcore over the last couple of

313
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: days for calling out you know, diversity, equity and inclusion

314
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: practices and and and you know, there are what I

315
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: said in the lead and is that there are certainly

316
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 3: a constellation of different things that I am sure played

317
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 3: a factor in this crash. But you can't dismiss these

318
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: DEI practices. I mean because the FAA and and the

319
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: air traffic controllers, like Obama made a very clear decision

320
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: to deviate from the traditional ATC test and preferring instead

321
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: to implement one that was race based and and had

322
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: other factors that that that wasn't actually qualifications for the job.

323
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: And you know, there are all sorts of videos of

324
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 3: the former heads of the FAA talking about well as

325
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: a prior priority is diversity. And then of course the

326
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: class action lawsuit like of over a thousand air traffic

327
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: controllers that were turned away because they failed to fulfill

328
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: what were diversity quotas. And Trump is you know the

329
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 3: reason why, you know, don't I don't care that Trump

330
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: is calling this stuff out. I think he has to

331
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: call this stuff out. But if you are you know,

332
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: Brian is a former CIA guy, If you're you know,

333
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: an officer, I don't know what the technical term is,

334
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: so forgive me. But if you're in charge of a

335
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: tactical team and there is an air that's made somewhere

336
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: that that happens on your watch, and members of your

337
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: team get killed, the leader of that team is gonna

338
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: be pretty damn pissed off and he's gonna it's gonna

339
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: be no holds bar. And for me, like if that,

340
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 3: if something like that happened in an infantry between a

341
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: company that I was I was in command of in combat,

342
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: a preventable accident that got multiple people killed, I would

343
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: be highly pissed. So what are your thoughts on all

344
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: of this, the tragic accident to how it's unfolded thereafter.

345
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 11: Well, look, I'll tell you what has happened. When I

346
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 11: was at the CIA and we would lose an officer,

347
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 11: you know, the first twenty four to forty eight hours,

348
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 11: we would be focused on making sure that we took

349
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 11: care of the person's family and kids. They were comforted,

350
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 11: and I think that that should be the end is

351
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 11: the focus for a lot of us. And in these

352
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 11: first twenty four to forty eight hours. Immediately though, in

353
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 11: parallel to that, you got an investigation into what went

354
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 11: wrong in the case of the CIA, Why did that

355
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 11: individual die and that operation? You know, what did we

356
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 11: We always look inward when you say what did we

357
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 11: do wrong? First, and then we look at external environment.

358
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 11: So I think that that's it's appropriate to have the conversation.

359
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 11: I would have preferred it to be a little bit

360
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 11: more quiet and settle these past forty eight hours. Let

361
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 11: us all mourn and pray with those who have lost

362
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 11: loved ones, but then look at all the different contributing factors. Obviously,

363
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 11: the military is going to be doing a lot of

364
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 11: questioning about the three individal on the black Hawk helicopter.

365
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 11: We're going to be looking at the training modules in

366
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 11: that area, in that space the time of day, one

367
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 11: of the most congested airspaces in the country.

368
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: There are lots of things that could have contributed to that.

369
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 11: So let us have that investigation, and as we do,

370
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 11: we should be asking about the training pipeline. Who was

371
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 11: in that helicopter, who is whether it be the CIA

372
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 11: or some of the boots on the ground that you

373
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 11: have worked with, Who are those people? Are they the

374
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 11: best and how did they get there? What we have

375
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 11: seen the service academies over the past four years, Secretary

376
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 11: Headset is going to have to really clean those out

377
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 11: because some of the people there who have graduated, who

378
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 11: are there currently should not be there. They were not

379
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 11: there because of merit. They were there because of the

380
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 11: color of their skin, or their sexual orientation or other

381
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 11: stuff that doesn't matter. So I think that is is

382
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 11: absolutely relevant and important to ask some of these questions

383
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 11: about DEI And I think we could also focused the

384
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 11: first couple of days on just giving a lot of

385
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 11: prayer and mourning for a lot of people in which

386
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 11: and DC and abroad. A lot of nations lost nationalists

387
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 11: as well, so it's a horrific event. The next week

388
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 11: a lot of really tough questions are going to be

389
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 11: asked and should be asked as we put people on

390
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 11: the ground and we hug in love on people who've

391
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 11: lost their loved ones.

392
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I well, said my friend. I'm sure you watched

393
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: the confirmation hearings with Tulsi, with RFK and with Cash

394
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: Bettel this week. Brian, I got to tell you, I

395
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: am a couple thoughts right off, right off the top

396
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: of my head here. I am so sick and tired

397
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: of the political grand standing at these confirmation hearings the Senate.

398
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 3: All my life, the Senate was supposed to be the

399
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 3: greatest deliberative body in the history of the world. Where

400
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: the Senate would be, you know, the place where things

401
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: cooled off and there was high level debate in substantive

402
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: questions and whether or not. You know, a president's picks

403
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: or nominations aligned with someone's party politics was not necessarily

404
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: in question because obviously if you're a Democrat, you're gonna

405
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: have different priorities in a Republican and vice versa. But

406
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: what what the founders always envisioned of this process was

407
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: one where people say, Okay, this guy require he's got

408
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: the competency to lead this organization and he has a vision, right,

409
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: But this has turned into just one of the grossest

410
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 3: processes that I've seen in quite some time. And these

411
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: Democrats have just been have just been shameful. I mean,

412
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 3: how they treated Tulsa yesterday, They clearly were just trying

413
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: to embarrass her. And same with RFK Junior and the

414
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 3: reason why in Cash as well. But I look at

415
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: RFK Junior and Tulsa is just a little bit different

416
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: because they're former Democrats and they brought a hell they

417
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: they were a critical part, not that Cash wasn't, but

418
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: they brought a huge coalition into the America first tent sure,

419
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: and I just you know, I don't know, man, it

420
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 3: just seems like And then the other part of this

421
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: is that you have Republican senators who are wishy washy

422
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: on RFK and tausey. It's just so frustrating to me

423
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 3: this whole process.

424
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, look, I think you're flagging a couple of things. First,

425
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 11: you talked about you know, Democrats are throwing a lot

426
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 11: of spaghetti against the wall. And I think this gets

427
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 11: back to actually what another Democrat said many years ago,

428
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 11: Jack Kennedy, when he said, let us seek not the

429
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 11: Republican answer or the Democrat answer, but the right answer.

430
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 11: So I think that that is the ethos that most

431
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 11: of us would like to see on Capitol Hill during

432
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 11: these Senate confirmation hearings, putting it aside your politics. Is

433
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 11: this person a redeemable human who can actually help lead

434
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 11: that department of that agency? Okay, so that's first. Second,

435
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 11: they're giving senators only two minutes about to ask questions.

436
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 11: So in two minutes, are you really going to get

437
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 11: to the bottom of something? Are you gonna have a

438
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 11: thoughtful conversation or is it just going to be a

439
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 11: quick screaming contest so that you can take the clip,

440
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 11: send it to your stitues and try to raise some

441
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 11: money afterwards.

442
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: That's what this is. This has turned into a carnival.

443
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: It's a circus. Part of this Also, I think that

444
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: we're going to go back into history.

445
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 11: This goes back into well, how do we used to

446
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 11: elect senators a long time ago? It was actually the

447
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 11: state senators or the state represented the state House would

448
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 11: send back a couple of senators. The US Senate was

449
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 11: not directly elected by the people. The founders wanted it

450
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 11: that way to do exactly what you just said, which

451
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 11: is to be a very deliberative body, to sit back

452
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 11: and be reflective and to think, and i'd have to

453
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 11: worry about running for reelection or worried about the passions

454
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 11: of the people. They were focused on the interests of

455
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 11: the states. So that was the focus of the Senate.

456
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 11: We have changed that through a constitutional amendment. I think

457
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 11: it was a disastrous choice, by the way, but that

458
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 11: I think is that is part of the fundamental problems.

459
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 11: You've got a bunch of people who are running for

460
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 11: reelection trying to get in front of TVs and make

461
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 11: a big scene rather than governed the nation.

462
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: So that is what I saw this week, nothing but

463
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: the circus and carnival.

464
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 11: And that's why I didn't really cover it on my podcast.

465
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 11: It's because there's not a lot of value there. It's

466
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 11: like cotton candy, you know, it's like you're eating something,

467
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 11: but there's no coloric value crash. So that is what

468
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 11: unfortunately these confirmation hearings have turned into.

469
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: Well and then but yeah, yeah, I agree completely, and

470
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: you know, for Talsi especially, I mean I was listening

471
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: to some of the things that she talked about, and

472
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: I have the sound bite pulled of her with Mark

473
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: Kelly because Mark Kelly asked what I thought, we're fair

474
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: questions I did. I can't get down with this. Oh

475
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 3: you're a puppet of Putin or a puppet of a

476
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 3: sod or a puppet of this that's just like the

477
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 3: most surface level bullshit. I can't. It's just so dumb.

478
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: But I want to play a little bit of this

479
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: because what Tulsi is talking about here, I think gets

480
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: to the core of the of of of the faults

481
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: of or some of the faults that we've had at

482
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 3: the core of our American foreign policy. Can I play

483
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: this and just yeah, listen to this exchange, because I

484
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: think it's very informative.

485
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 5: Thank you, mister Chairman. Colonel Gabbard.

486
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 12: When Russia was denying as use of chemical weapons, they

487
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 12: accused the US of supporting terrorists. This is a line

488
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 12: that Putin used frequently during the Syrian Civil War as

489
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 12: he supported USAD. Syrian officials made similar comments. They did

490
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 12: it repeatedly, They did it in public, they did it

491
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 12: at the United Nations. In twenty sixteen, you gave an

492
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 12: interview in which you said, and this is a quote,

493
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 12: the US is providing direct and indirect support to terrorist

494
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 12: groups in order to overthrow the Syrian government.

495
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 5: And in twenty nineteen, on.

496
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 12: The Democratic presidential debate stage, you said of President Trump,

497
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 12: this is a quote. This current president is continuing to

498
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 12: betray us. We were supposed to be going after al Qaeda,

499
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 12: but over years now, not only have we not gone

500
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 12: after al Qaeda, our president is supporting al Qaeda. So

501
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 12: I'm interested to hear what was your goal in saying

502
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 12: these things and did you consider before saying them the

503
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 12: motives of Iran in Russia, what their motives might have

504
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 12: been before making these claims.

505
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: So, first of all, I just and as all I say,

506
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair question. I think that's a

507
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: fair question. I'm cool with that question, Senator.

508
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 13: As someone who enlisted in the military specifically because of

509
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 13: al Qaeda's terrorist attack on nine to eleven and committing

510
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 13: myself in my life to doing what I could to

511
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 13: defeat these terrorists. It was shocking and a betrayal to

512
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 13: me and every person who was killed on nine to eleven,

513
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 13: their families, and my brothers and sisters in uniform. When

514
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 13: as a member of Congress, I learned about President Obama's

515
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 13: dual programs that he had begun really to overthrow the

516
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 13: regime of Syria and being willing to through the CIA's

517
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 13: Timber Sycamore program that has now been made public of

518
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 13: working with and arming and equipping al Qaeda in an

519
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 13: effort to overthrow that regime, starting yet another regime change

520
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 13: war in the Middle East. DoD train and equip program,

521
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 13: again begun under President Obama has widely been known, looked at,

522
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 13: and studied that ultimately resulted in over half a billion

523
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 13: dollars being used to train who they called moderate rebels

524
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 13: but were actually fighters working with and aligned with al

525
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 13: Qaeda's affiliate on the ground in Syria, all to move

526
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 13: forward with their regime change and not acknowledging what was

527
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 13: obvious at the time and what has unfortunately borne true,

528
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 13: which was that a regime change war in Syria, much

529
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 13: like the regime change wars an Iraq. The toppling of

530
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 13: Gaddafi and Mubarak, while these are all dictators, would likely

531
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 13: result in the rise of Islamist extremists like al Qaeda

532
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 13: taking power. I shed no tears for the fall of

533
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 13: the Asad regime, but today we have an Islamist extremist

534
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 13: who is now in charge of Syria, as I said,

535
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 13: who danced on the streets to celebrate the nine to

536
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 13: eleven attack, who ruled over it, lived with an Islamist

537
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 13: extremist governance, and who has already begun to persecute and

538
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 13: kill and arrest religious minorities like Christians in Syria. I

539
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 13: understand why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me.

540
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 13: It should certainly not.

541
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: So. I mean, there's a lot there, and it was

542
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: a long segment normally, but I was. When I initially

543
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: saw that, I thought of you, and I wanted to

544
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: get a sense of what because look, I saw it

545
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: as clearly a terrible, evil human being. Okay, you know,

546
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how you feel about all this,

547
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: but tell me what you tell me your thoughts about

548
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: that exchange.

549
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 11: So there was nothing that she said there. There was

550
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 11: an accurate She talked about Timber Sycamore. It's a program

551
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 11: I know. Well, there are a lot.

552
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: Of things to tell you what is it? Because I

553
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 3: mean I heard it, I didn't know about it.

554
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: Tell us what it means Timber Sycamore.

555
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 11: And I can't go into a ton of details because

556
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 11: a lot of stuff is still classified. But the bottom

557
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 11: line is that she's correct to say that the CIA

558
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 11: and the Pentagon funded different rebel groups.

559
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: We called them moderate, they were not. In some cases.

560
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 11: We took these moderates and we sent them to Jordan

561
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 11: to be trained, the country of Jordan to be trained.

562
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 11: They ended up doing either nothing, or they would take

563
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 11: our guns and they would sell them on the black market.

564
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 11: They did that in them on Jordan, or some of

565
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 11: them would actually then go back into Syria where they

566
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 11: were supposed to do things in our behalf, but we

567
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 11: lost control of them. The operations officers like me were

568
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 11: supposed to handle these guys inside of Syria.

569
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: These guys just went off the reservation.

570
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 11: So she's correct to say that we trained a bunch

571
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 11: of people, sent a bunch of money, and he either

572
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 11: did nothing or they actually joined the bad guys. So

573
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 11: and then on Depenzagon did a similar program, they funded

574
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 11: a different set of good.

575
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: Bad guys.

576
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 11: So she is right to say that the whole thing

577
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 11: is a mess, and that whether you like us it

578
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 11: or not, I don't like him. I think a lot

579
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 11: of recent people would say he was an awful man.

580
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 11: He did terrible things for twenty plus years. His father

581
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 11: did going back to the nineteen seventies. So it's clear

582
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 11: that that family was awful and vile. The whole bath Party,

583
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 11: whether be in Syria or Iraq, terrible. And it's also

584
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 11: true that we have to think about the day after that.

585
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 11: When we fund these rebel groups and then the dictator

586
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 11: goes down, what rises up?

587
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: She is spot on to say that that is what

588
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: we should.

589
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 11: Have learned, certainly in the war and terror in Iraq,

590
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 11: in Afghanistan and all the way, by the way, going

591
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 11: back to the nineteen eighties, when we funded the Buja

592
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 11: Hadeen to rise up against the Soviets, what happened to

593
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 11: those guys? Right, So it created the Taliban and al

594
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 11: Qaeda and the rest. So look, she's not wrong to

595
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 11: flag this stuff, to say we are inadvertently funding terrorism

596
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 11: and I would say to you what you and I

597
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 11: have talked about. The Biden administration funded through Ukraine the

598
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 11: provision of drones and drone providers to Islamic radicals in

599
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 11: the Sahell of Africa and to Syria the leadership of

600
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 11: HTS that is now in charge of Syria. So we

601
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 11: again are funding the moderate slash yeah, radical al Qaeda

602
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 11: or ISIS members certainly in the Sahel, And you could

603
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 11: make the same argument for the current.

604
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: Guys in Syria. So she's right, she's right on all accounts.

605
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm not.

606
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 11: You know, look, and I will end with this. It

607
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 11: is also true that foreign powers can control our politicians.

608
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 11: You and I've talked about how China does that extensively.

609
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 11: They have a beachhead in California with their program to

610
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 11: doing it. So it's reasonable to ask questions of all

611
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 11: of our policy makers to make sure that they love

612
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 11: this country.

613
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: And they're not engaging in treason.

614
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 11: Yes, if there is proof or evidence of that, that

615
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 11: should be provided in this case to Donald Trump and

616
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 11: his team to say you got a problem, right and

617
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 11: they solve it, or you.

618
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: Breef that to Capitol Hill.

619
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 11: If the President whomever might me doesn't want to solve

620
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 11: the problem and is happy to bring on traders because

621
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 11: maybe they're a trader too.

622
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: Joe Biden.

623
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 11: Then fine, brief that to Capitol Hill, and then you

624
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 11: bring that evidence out on Capitol Hill and you tank

625
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 11: the nomination the nomination because that's where the advice and

626
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 11: the consent comes in. This is how adults govern a republic.

627
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 11: That is not what we heard of the past three

628
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 11: or four days.

629
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Brian, I have to ask you, why, what is

630
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 3: the reasoning behind the SEA, I mean, behind the CIA

631
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: arming some of these not moderates but basically members of

632
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 3: al Qaeda and then you end up losing control of them.

633
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 3: If what's the logic behind it? Did they just say, well,

634
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 3: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Will use

635
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: these guys in a proxy war to kill people who

636
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: are worse? Is that the logic behind this? Why do

637
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: we do this stuff?

638
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 11: Look, this actually goes back to the nineteen fifties and

639
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 11: sixties when the CIA was first stood up and we

640
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 11: started doing one of the most successful covert action operations,

641
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 11: which is overthrowing the then dictator or president of Guatemala.

642
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 11: Very very successful, but really because it really wasn't a

643
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 11: covert action. But we funded the rebels effectively, so we

644
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 11: thought from that point on, we can do it everywhere,

645
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 11: and we tried and Iran it was a disaster, as

646
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 11: most of us know after the Shaw fell. The point is,

647
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 11: in the decades since, we've never really learned our lesson.

648
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 11: Every new generation of leadership of the CIA or every

649
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 11: president says, oh, I'm going to do it better this time.

650
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 11: I'm going to do a tighter group of rebels, I'm

651
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 11: going to vet them differently, I'm going to vet them better.

652
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 11: So it is a little bit of hubrius going into

653
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 11: a lot of these operations. And in fact, one thing

654
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 11: that I don't know that has been talked about a

655
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 11: lot is President Obama, to his credit, did ask the

656
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 11: CIA many years ago, give me an assessment of all

657
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 11: of your different COVID action operations and whether not the

658
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 11: rebel groups have been successful or not. I can't get

659
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 11: into the details of what that showed, but asking that

660
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 11: question should certainly be something the Capitol Hill should be

661
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 11: asking a president, and I'd say should be asking what

662
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 11: is your record when you fund these people? Are they successful?

663
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 11: And what are the second and the third orders of consequences?

664
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 11: That is something that a lot of foreign powers are

665
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 11: very angry and upset at this country.

666
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: Over the past fifty to sixty years.

667
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 11: Is our foreign policy has just been very, very reckless,

668
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 11: and we haven't thought about the second and third orders

669
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 11: of effect, and we've wrecked a lot of places.

670
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: Around the world. That's fair.

671
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 11: So I think that Tulsia Gabber when she's talking about

672
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 11: this stuff, when people are criticizing her, as the Democrats

673
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 11: did this week, that really goes back to about fifteen

674
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 11: years ago when they thought that she was going to

675
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 11: be a key leader in there. Yes, when she was

676
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 11: in Hawaii, they thought that she was going to want you.

677
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 11: I think she was the deputy DNC chief. Yes, she

678
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 11: was a very senior member of the party. Absolutely told

679
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 11: her tribe go pound sand I don't like you anymore.

680
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 11: That made them very angry. And in tribal politics, I

681
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 11: don't know if you're in Africa or you're an American.

682
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: DC, tribal politics or if you.

683
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 11: Push yourself out of the tribe, the tribe's going to

684
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 11: count for you.

685
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: That's how it works. So that is that's what she's facing.

686
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: I think, miss Gaverick, I think.

687
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: You're so right. It's what made the Democrats. I mean,

688
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: I just thought that they were absurd. Bernie Sanders, like,

689
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: do you support this onesie? He's screaming about a onesie

690
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 3: like he's in a few good gorgeous asking about a

691
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 3: cogress speak, do you.

692
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: Speak fluent socialist? That was gorgeous, gorgeous, beautiful, thank you,

693
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: thank you.

694
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: But I just thought to myself, well, like with RFK

695
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 3: and TAUSA, you were friends with these people like five

696
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 3: minutes ago. All it's like, it's lately obvious what they're

697
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 3: doing as partisan politics. But speaking of partisan politics, Washington

698
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 3: Post is out with this, well, they're out with this

699
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 3: article talking about how a lot of FBI agents are

700
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: now under the microscope. Some of them are being fired,

701
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 3: other senior officials at the FBI are being forced to resign.

702
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 3: President Trump and his team are starting out with you

703
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 3: know this FBI agents who were assigned to prosecuting some

704
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 3: sixteen hundred January six ers who are at the protest

705
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 3: that day. President Trump is also looking very hard at

706
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: FBI agents who are involved in the raid at mar Lago.

707
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: The media is, you know, especially Democrats in the media.

708
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 3: I can't wrap my mind around it.

709
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 6: Now.

710
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: The Democrats are the Party of like the FBI and

711
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 3: their pro war. They never thought I'd see the day,

712
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 3: But the media is just completely melting down about President

713
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: Trump maybe taking some accountability or holding some of those officials,

714
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: some of those rogue officials at the FBI accountable. And

715
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 3: then today President Trump banned John Bolton and Brennan and

716
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 3: all the other forty seven or fifty one former intelligence officials,

717
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: the fifty one spies who lie about the Hunter Biden

718
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: laptop from ever entering US government facilities because of national

719
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 3: security concerns. So there's lots of things happening. I mean,

720
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 3: and I'm just kind of going through this stuff because

721
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 3: I've never seen a president move this fast in his

722
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: first two weeks in office. And then as all this

723
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: is happening at home, you've got Rick Grinnell going off

724
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: to meet with Maduro, which I got to say is

725
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: kind of a scary meeting.

726
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that video.

727
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 11: I'm like, good luck, brother, yeah's crotching come home. No, Yeah, Look,

728
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 11: let's think about this FBI stuff just for a second,

729
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 11: because it's really important.

730
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: You know, we experienced from twenty sixteen to.

731
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 11: Twenty twenty a constant braje and attack on Donald Trump

732
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 11: and his family and his administration. That has been demonstrated

733
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 11: by special counsels, inspector generals. We have some prosecutions of

734
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 11: these BI officials who cooked up the arrest warrants or

735
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 11: the surveillance warrants Carter Page, et cetera. So Donald Trump

736
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 11: has a very real concern based on that history. And

737
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 11: so and what could argue, well, that's four or five

738
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 11: years ago. Well that's in the past, right, But the

739
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 11: FBI director, but two minutes ago, as it were, Christopher

740
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 11: Ray called all of that lawlessness that the inspector general

741
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 11: and these special councils of highlight, he called all that

742
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 11: lawlessness missteps.

743
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: You and I've talked about this before, missteps.

744
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 11: So what does that tell you about the leadership as

745
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 11: well as senior FBI officials. If they called their lawlessness

746
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 11: over those years of trying to depose effectively and throw

747
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 11: out a duly elected president, if they'd simply call that

748
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 11: stuff a set of missteps, that would tell you that

749
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 11: the leadership and the senior you know, all the way

750
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 11: down actually probably to even the lower levels of the

751
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 11: FBI have been corrupted with partisanship.

752
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: That is a really very serious concern.

753
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 11: And the present in the United States, Donald Trump has

754
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 11: absolutely every reason to say I'm concerned that these guys

755
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 11: aren't taking seriously what they have done to this country,

756
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 11: not just me, but indeed to the nation, to the

757
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 11: rule of law that is legitimate. So getting rid of

758
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 11: a lot of people is totally fair. I can appreciate

759
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 11: why that might feel scary to some people. That feels

760
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 11: very like Wow Trump as hntler. Okay, but let's also

761
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 11: look at the evidence of what has happened at the

762
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 11: FBI over eight years that might suggest that we need

763
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 11: to do some house cleaning. So I think that that's

764
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 11: important context for us to remember not just what Trump

765
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 11: says or a Republicans say, but what are those inspector

766
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 11: generals and special counsels said about the lawlessness at the

767
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 11: FBI and former FBI Director Christopher Ray calling that stuff

768
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 11: a misstep? That for me makes all of this house

769
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 11: cleaning legitimate and fair and appropriate.

770
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 3: Wow, So what do you think of Clearly President Trump's

771
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: focus on Central America with Grinnell going off to meet

772
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 3: with Maduro and then Rubio's going down to Central America,

773
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 3: and it is like one of his first trips and

774
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 3: a Secretary of State, what do you make of all

775
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 3: of that? And people are like all fired up about

776
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: the cost of sending illegal aliens back to their home country.

777
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 3: I think there was an article in the New York

778
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 3: Post forty six hundred dollars per illegal alien to fly

779
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: them back. And I'm just thinking to myself of all

780
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: the money that this country has wasted and thrown away

781
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 3: on just insane, frivolous things. We're complaining about sending criminal,

782
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 3: illegal aliens back to their homes and these are like

783
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: the people that are being deported. Are should read some

784
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: of the criminal records on some of these folks, Brian

785
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: or like child rapists, murderers who were put back out

786
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: on the street. I mean, this is insane. But what

787
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: do you think of all of this? And why is

788
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 3: President Trump focused on Central America maybe even South America

789
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: and some of these first diplomatic trips.

790
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 11: So this is really important because over the past fifty

791
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 11: or sixty years, we haven't had a Secretary of State

792
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 11: go to Central America and to Latin America for his or.

793
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: Her first trip.

794
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 11: This is a demonstration to this region and really the

795
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 11: world that we are serious of re engaging with a

796
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 11: part of the world that we've kind of abandoned for many,

797
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 11: many years, frankly, and so I think that that's a

798
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 11: wonderful demonstration by this president to say that you all matter.

799
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 11: You are our backyard, and we are your backyard. You

800
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 11: are neighbors, and we need to focus on our relationships.

801
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 11: So kudos, I think that Trump Emperor to mister Rubio

802
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 11: for going down to this region to focus on it.

803
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 11: So he's stopping in places like Panama. We've talked about

804
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 11: why he's going there, the Panama Canal. The critical piece

805
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 11: that continues to be misreported or unreported in our media

806
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 11: is that the Chinese controlling both of these two ports

807
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 11: on each side of the canal. Why that is so

808
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 11: relevant is because per Chinese law, these guys, these Chinese nationals,

809
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 11: have to do whatever it is that the CCP tells them.

810
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 11: They have to execute whatever military or intelligence requirements that

811
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 11: the CCP has. So that is why they effectively have control.

812
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 11: That is to say, the Chinese Commonist Party he has

813
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 11: effective roll over this canal, or certainly could during a

814
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 11: time of war if nothing else, an intel collection platform.

815
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 11: Both of those are so President Trump is absolutely correct

816
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 11: to say, per the nineteen seventy seven treaty you all

817
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 11: and Panama have violated it and either going to clean

818
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 11: that stuff.

819
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: Up or we're going to come down and take back

820
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: the canal, all right? One to two, So like what

821
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: do you guys want to do?

822
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 11: So that's fair, and I think that is what mister Rubio,

823
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 11: that is the message he's delivering. Good for him equally

824
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 11: going into El Salvador, Guatemala and saying, look, let's work

825
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 11: on a deal where you're going to take back some

826
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 11: of these foreign nationals that we want out of our country.

827
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 11: It's basically the trash. Can you take our trash? Prison

828
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 11: Bouquetla of El Salvador has said, you know, maybe he might.

829
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: Have to build out some facilities to do that. So

830
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: we're going to owe him a lot.

831
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 11: We're going to have to give him a few things

832
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 11: to take our trash, as it were. And I'm going

833
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 11: to refer to some of these illegals to your point

834
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 11: that have raped children, We're going to call them trash.

835
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: That's fair.

836
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 3: It's fair.

837
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: The other question though, that you highlight, which is the cost.

838
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 11: All right, So it does cost about thirty thousand dollars

839
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 11: per hour to operate a military jet to send people home.

840
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 11: It cost about seventeen thousand dollars per hour for an

841
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 11: ice plain to be sent home. So it's fair to

842
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 11: ask a question of can we do this less with

843
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 11: less of a cost, And the answer is yes. So

844
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 11: earlier this week is we all might remember from last

845
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 11: Sunday into Monday Colombia, and of course President Trump gotten

846
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 11: that big dust up the Colombians didn't want to take

847
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 11: back to your people. Trump was like, really, sanctions for you,

848
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 11: terrors for all of you. I'm going to ruin your country.

849
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 11: I don't care if you have beautiful coffee and women.

850
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: I'll destroy it anyway. And that ended. That ended the

851
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: whole thing. But here's the key.

852
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 11: But a lot of people didn't catch Over the next

853
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 11: forty eight hours, President Petro, who is a Marxist who

854
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 11: runs Columbia right now, he agreed to send his military

855
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 11: planes to the United States to pick up his Colombian people.

856
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: Well wait a.

857
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: Minute, that's great news.

858
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 11: Not only were we not spending thirty thousand dollars an

859
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 11: hour with our military or seventeen thousand dollars an hour

860
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 11: for the ice planes, We're spending zero. That is the

861
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 11: art of the deal, you get the other guys to

862
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 11: come pick up their citizens and take them home. That

863
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 11: is what I hope that the administration focuses on next,

864
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 11: especially when you stop and think about that, some of

865
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 11: the illegals that are here are because these nations encourage

866
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 11: their people to leave. President Petro of Columbia a lot

867
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 11: of people have forgotten this in September actually try to

868
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 11: get the Panamanians to open up that jungle between the

869
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 11: two nations it's called the Darien Gap, so that more

870
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 11: people could pass through and safely allegedly, But the point is.

871
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: They were paving the road, man. They were paving the

872
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: road for these people to come to the United States.

873
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 11: So yeah, it's fair that they spend their money and

874
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 11: their jets to pick up their people, not us. So

875
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 11: that is what I hope that this president continues to

876
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 11: do is push these nations to say, look, you're gonna

877
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 11: use your jets and your plans to pick up your

878
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 11: people or guess.

879
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: What tariffs sanctions for everyone. Don't mess with me, I'll

880
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 1: low up your country.

881
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 3: See what I want them to do? You're Trump? Your

882
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 3: Trump impersonation is really went along, my friend, I gotta

883
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: work on it.

884
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: I got four years. I got to make it tight.

885
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: The golden hair. You do, you do, okay. So, speaking

886
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 3: of tariffs, Caroline Levitt, who's the White House Press Secretary,

887
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 3: addressed tariffs on Mexico and Canada and the press briefing.

888
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 3: I want to play the sound and I want to

889
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 3: get your thoughts on all of this. Listen, Brian So,

890
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 3: the Canadian Prime Minister, said today that if US imposes tariffs, he.

891
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: Will respond and he will not relent until the.

892
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 5: Tariffs are removed or we see the start of the

893
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 5: trade war we can.

894
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 14: I don't think so. I think the President is going

895
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 14: to implement those tariffs tomorrow and he will respond to

896
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 14: mister Trudeau's comments in due time.

897
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: I am sure things have to happen.

898
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 9: What does the adminstration need to see in order to

899
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 9: avoid those tarriffs.

900
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 14: Well, the tariffs are incoming tomorrow on Canada, and the

901
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 14: reason for that is because both Canada and Mexico have

902
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 14: allowed an unprecedented invasion of illegal fetanyl that is killing

903
00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 14: American citizens and also illegal immigrants into our country. In fact,

904
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 14: I have more language for you right here. Canada, Mexico

905
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 14: and China, which, as I mentioned, President Trump will implement

906
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 14: a ten percent tariff on China. Have all enabled illegal

907
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 14: drugs to pour into America. The amount of fetanyl that

908
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 14: has been seized at the southern border in the last

909
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 14: two years alone has the potential to kill tens of

910
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 14: millions of Americans. And so the President is intent on

911
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 14: doing this, And I think Justin Trudeau would be wise

912
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 14: to talk to President Trump directly before pushing outlandish comments

913
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 14: like that to the media.

914
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: Man. I like that comment at the end strikes me

915
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 3: as true, Like Justin Trudeau would be wise to talk

916
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 3: about this with President Trump essentially behind closed doors before

917
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 3: whinding to the media. But a twenty five percent tariff

918
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 3: on Canada and Mexico for all the reasons that she cited,

919
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 3: the illegal invasion, fentanyl, everything else, deaths of Americans because

920
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: of that. Man, he's playing hardball, and I like it.

921
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 11: So here's the thing that the trade agreement between the

922
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 11: United States, Canada and Mexico that is not up for

923
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 11: renegotiation until twenty twenty six. What Trump was doing here

924
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 11: is he's saying, basically, I'm going to levy twenty five

925
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 11: percent tariffs on boltiviole unless maybe you want to renegotiate

926
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 11: a little bit early, and when we do, it's going

927
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 11: to be on my terms, it's going to be on

928
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 11: better terms, it's going to be on the United States's terms.

929
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 11: So that's what he's doing here. Second, he also understands

930
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 11: we got data earlier this week that the Mexican government

931
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 11: tanked in the fourth quarter of last year for the

932
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,479
Speaker 11: first time in about ten years.

933
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: So the Trump would negotiate a team attack so it

934
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: went down.

935
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 11: So another words, President shine Bomb of Mexico is in

936
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 11: a very weak position to negotiate. Her domestic economy is

937
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 11: already starting to sort of be on the ropes, as

938
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 11: it were, so that's he's got a little bit of

939
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 11: extra leverage. Second, we should also remember that we provide

940
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 11: a lot of stuff to Mexico. They need us more

941
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 11: than we need them. We give them about seventy percent

942
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 11: seven zero percent of their natural gas that powers their nation,

943
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 11: their power plants. We also tens of billions I think

944
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 11: it is at sixty some more billion dollars in remittances,

945
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 11: and of course all the factories on the northern that's

946
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 11: called the Makiladoras section of Mexico that's really important to

947
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 11: Mexican economy. So we got a lot of to squeeze,

948
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 11: you know, we can do without some of the craft

949
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 11: that comes across the southern border. Fentanyl certainly the biggest one,

950
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 11: but a lot of that other stuff too, you know.

951
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 11: In fact, one of the things that a lot of

952
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 11: people don't know is in these factory zones, they have

953
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 11: allowed Chinese companies to set up their factories so that

954
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 11: they can take advantage of the USMCA and send in

955
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 11: these cheap Chinese goods, avoiding the tariffs that we have

956
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 11: on China. So the Mexican government and Mexican businessmen are

957
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 11: setting up these factories just a couple of hours south

958
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 11: of San Antonio, for example. Well that's not only bad

959
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 11: because it's economically, you know, terrible, it's economic warfare. Basically,

960
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 11: the Chinese are cheating again. But what we also know,

961
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 11: again about the Panama example, these Chinese nationals have to

962
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 11: respond if the Chinese Communist Party did military or the

963
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 11: Intel says, go do something. So we've got basically these

964
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 11: these nests of spies saboteurs in these these Chinese factories

965
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 11: just south of the border. So it is yet another

966
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 11: reason why the president is very wise to smack the

967
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 11: hell out of the Mexicans to say you got to

968
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 11: tighten we got to tighten up this agreement. We've got

969
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 11: to fix a lot of stuff, and we've got some leverage.

970
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: The Canadian one. I got to tell you, I'm a

971
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: little bit more not nervous.

972
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 11: I'm just appreciative of one of the things that we

973
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 11: do buy from them that we need, which is crude oil,

974
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 11: especially our Midwestern refineries.

975
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: That's a big deal because.

976
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 11: Those have been built over the decades just for the

977
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 11: heavier crude that comes out out of Canada. So if we,

978
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 11: you know, slap this twenty five percent tariff on this

979
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 11: Canadian crude, Midwestern refineries aren't going to have many other

980
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 11: supplies and so they're got have to pay more, and

981
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 11: then that they're likely going to pass that along to consumers.

982
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 11: Not necessarily depends on the refinery in the company, but

983
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 11: those refinery margins are pretty narrow, so I could see

984
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 11: gas prices going up twenty to fifty I've heard some

985
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 11: estimates of seventy cents a gallon, depending on how long

986
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 11: this goes and how much you know the the effect is.

987
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 11: But I am a bit nervous about that one, only

988
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 11: because of the gas prices and a lot of people

989
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 11: hurting in the Midwest already because of the inflation. The

990
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 11: Trump team is aware of this, so we'll see how

991
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 11: long that the tariffs get slapped on for I suspect

992
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 11: that the Canadians are going to bend on this because

993
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 11: their economies that have a spot as well. Their auto

994
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 11: industry has shed over a million and a half jobs

995
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 11: over the past fifteen years or so. That has a

996
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 11: big deal for the Canadians. So they need our market

997
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 11: and it would hammer their auto industry, their auto supply

998
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 11: industry especially, So I think Trump's got some room to squeeze,

999
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 11: but They've also got a little bit of ability to

1000
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 11: squeeze us too with that crude oil.

1001
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, clearly, definitely, definitely something to be concerned about. And

1002
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, I'm sure the Trump team is tracking this.

1003
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 3: I just wonder how they plan to mitigate it.

1004
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 6: You know.

1005
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 3: Trump has also talked about this idea of clearing out

1006
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 3: Gaza and relocating Palestinians exactly to break this down, boy,

1007
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 3: because because many people I feel like have tried this. Yeah,

1008
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 3: maybe maybe not tried it, but have thought about it. Yeah.

1009
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 11: So one of the great things about Trump is a

1010
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 11: lot of us think things and then we don't say

1011
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 11: them because they're like, wow, that's going to make a

1012
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 11: lot of people mad or upset.

1013
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: The apple carte.

1014
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 3: Trump's like, anyway, yeah, I love it.

1015
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: So look.

1016
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 11: The argument that Trump made last Saturday was that what

1017
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 11: we ought to do is we should take the Gaza

1018
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 11: Strip to two million or so Palestinians and clean them

1019
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 11: out of Gaza, put them into probably Jordan, but likely Egypt,

1020
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 11: camped them out there for some period of time. Demo

1021
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 11: the entire Gaza Strip because it's basically demolished anyway, we

1022
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,479
Speaker 11: take out all that stuff, it's a construction zone. He said,

1023
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 11: we'll rebuild the buildings and then we'll let people back

1024
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 11: in the Palestinians. He said that process could be short

1025
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 11: term or long term, and that made a lot of

1026
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 11: Palestinians and a lot of Arabs very anxious because that

1027
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 11: means basically they could maybe never go back. That was

1028
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 11: a concern of a lot of Palestinians, but also the Jordanians,

1029
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 11: the Egyptians because here's the dirty secret. Can I tell

1030
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 11: you a Cia secret for a second. The Arabs don't

1031
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 11: actually like the Palestinian cause a lot of them actually

1032
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 11: believe and refer to the Palestinians as their hillbilly cousins.

1033
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 11: And that is certainly true of Arab leadership across the

1034
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 11: Middle East, so they're not really big fans of this

1035
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 11: Palestinian cause. It's also true that the Palestinians have tried

1036
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 11: to murder a lot of these Arab leaders in the

1037
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 11: past decades, like the King of Jordan and the leadership

1038
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 11: in Egypt.

1039
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: That's why Jordan in Egypt don't want the Palestinians.

1040
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 11: They're like, no, they may be Arabs, or they may

1041
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 11: be Muslims, but these guys are crazy and they'll blow

1042
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 11: us up as well as the Jews. So that is

1043
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 11: why Jordan and Egypt have both refused this idea of

1044
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 11: cleaning out gossip because they don't want these people either.

1045
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 11: So I think that that's important for folks to know

1046
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 11: that this Palestinian cause, it really is full of a

1047
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 11: group of people.

1048
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: Since nineteen forty eight with the reconstitution of.

1049
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 11: Israel, a lot of people just don't know what to

1050
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 11: do about the Palestinian problem, right, So what that has

1051
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 11: to be The solution is probably the Saladis or others

1052
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 11: coming in and governing the Gaza and the West Bank.

1053
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 11: Basically taking them over is the equivalent of states or

1054
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 11: emirates and getting rid of Hamas. That's how you secure

1055
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 11: the lives of the Palestinians and the Jewish states or

1056
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 11: the Jewish people Israel.

1057
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: But the point is Trump was like, now I'll just

1058
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: clean him out. Now I'll just kick him out.

1059
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 11: And what he's referencing here is he's got leverage, he

1060
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 11: said yesterday. His leverage is we give billions of dollars,

1061
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 11: a critical amount of money to Egypt, especially they would

1062
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 11: be in big trouble without our money.

1063
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: Trump knows that.

1064
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 11: It's also true that Jordanians, so it's gonna squeeze there

1065
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 11: a little bit that I think is his strategy to

1066
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 11: just even threaten it to find a solution here, especially

1067
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 11: with Kamas, like who governs next? And in fact we

1068
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 11: have the Secretary of Rubio spoke with the leadership of

1069
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 11: the royal king, the royal family in Saudi Arabia, probably

1070
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 11: trying to cook up a deal here, this big deal

1071
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 11: in the Middle East to give the Saudis to take

1072
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 11: over these Palestinian territories. I anticipate that that's part of

1073
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,720
Speaker 11: the art of the deal. Here is pushing these Arabs

1074
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 11: to do the right thing from his perspective, to sault

1075
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 11: at long last this issue the Palestinians versus Israel.

1076
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 3: God, it's fascinating because I feel like President Trump thinks

1077
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 3: about these things, you know, differently than other people. But

1078
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 3: he's also bold enough to talk about it. As you said,

1079
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 3: you know where most American presidents Democratic, Republican, they're not

1080
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: going to talk about it.

1081
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 11: They just want to look at There is a cost,

1082
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 11: it's some level, I mean, to the to this as

1083
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 11: it were. I think we've talked about the speaking softly

1084
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 11: and carrying a big stick. Trump Trump speaks loudly and

1085
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 11: he cares a two by four, right, So that's just

1086
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 11: who he is. And there's a there's a cost of

1087
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 11: it because it creates it's a disruption, and that can

1088
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 11: create problems, but it can also result in some really

1089
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 11: wonderful things and disruptors. Like if we look in the

1090
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 11: private sector Elon Musk, what a what a disruptor there?

1091
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 11: And from the space Flight X and other things. You

1092
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 11: you break some stuff when you create things. And I

1093
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 11: think that mister Trump of all people appreciates that as

1094
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 11: a construction guy, and so it's a it's a.

1095
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: Different way of doing business.

1096
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 11: Uh So, I'm sure the CIA guys are keeping it

1097
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 11: real busy right now, State Department two.

1098
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so real quickly. I don't want to keep you

1099
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 3: two over time here because you're already been very generous.

1100
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 3: But two stories out of Africa. Why should we care

1101
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 3: about this.

1102
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: Really important eastern Congo right now? It's the lot of

1103
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: a war.

1104
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 11: Sadly that's happening the government of Rwanda and the rebels

1105
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 11: were invading a really critical part of eastern Congo. Why

1106
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 11: do we care about that? Well, a couple of reasons. First,

1107
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 11: a lot of very important minerals come from that area,

1108
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 11: cobalt and others. In fact, we have a railroad line

1109
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 11: that we have played paid in this country, the United

1110
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 11: States taxpayers about a half a billion dollars to build

1111
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 11: a rail line into southern Congo. So we definitely have

1112
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 11: an interest to know what's going on there so we

1113
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 11: could see a disruption of these mineral supplies. A. B.

1114
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 11: There is a lab in a city that was taken

1115
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 11: over called Goma, that is a medical lab that has

1116
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 11: viral samples, to include one called ebola that's where you

1117
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 11: bleed from all of your pores and you die. It's

1118
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 11: an awful, awful death. So we should probably want to

1119
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 11: make sure that we're keeping a tab on that. And

1120
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 11: the President is, and I know that Secretary Rubio is

1121
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 11: as well, so we're watching it. That's why we should

1122
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 11: keep on a track of the mineral stuff and this issue.

1123
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 11: God forbid of an ebola outbreak. Second, South Africa. This

1124
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 11: one's a big deal because South Africa really is a

1125
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 11: laboratory when we talk about diversity, equity and inclusion. You

1126
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 11: led with the top of the show, we talked about it.

1127
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 11: It's so important in this country. I think a lot

1128
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 11: of us understand. To rid our nation of it, South

1129
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 11: Africa's gone in the other direction. Everything there is about race,

1130
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 11: everything is because clearly of the apartheid rule. But one

1131
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 11: of the things that they did in June of twenty

1132
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 11: twenty three is they said to businesses, we're going to

1133
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 11: give you water or not for your business depending on

1134
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 11: the color of your skin. If you're black, you get

1135
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 11: the most water, if you're sort of middle colored you

1136
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 11: get a more middling amount. And if you're white, eh,

1137
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 11: tough luck. That's one of the things that is so

1138
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 11: important for us to watch what happens to a nation

1139
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 11: when everything, to include water access is based on your

1140
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 11: color of skin. About a week ago, sadly, the government

1141
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 11: which is being led right now, that is the radical

1142
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 11: leftist government. They're in a coalition with the White parties

1143
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 11: and others, and a week ago they adopted a new

1144
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 11: law that basically said the government, which we know as

1145
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 11: leftists everything is based on skin color, can take any

1146
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 11: property that it wants if it's for the public good.

1147
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 11: This is a very expropriation, very Zimbabwe, very radical leftist

1148
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 11: marks a solution to problems down in South Africa. The

1149
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 11: White Party, the Democratic Alliance, they said, wait a minute,

1150
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 11: we know where this goes. We watched what happened in

1151
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 11: Zimbabwe and other places. You're going to start killing white

1152
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 11: people and pushing them off of farms. Let's not go

1153
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 11: down that path. You will turn this lovely nation of ours,

1154
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 11: a rainbonation, into something horrible. So that is why we

1155
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 11: continue and we should continue to watch South Africa. It

1156
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 11: really is a laboratory for DEI on steroids. So if

1157
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 11: we want to be reminded of what happens to a

1158
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 11: country that has just collapsed over the last three years,

1159
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 11: embracing dei. South Africa is a wonderful place to remind

1160
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 11: ourselves of why we do not want to go down

1161
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 11: that path.

1162
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 3: How the hell does the country survive? How do people

1163
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 3: like dolling out water based on skin color? Doesn't seem

1164
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 3: like something that Americans would tolerate for very long?

1165
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: Well?

1166
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 3: How no, how does South Africa and the government even survive.

1167
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you'd think people would be up in arms.

1168
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 11: Well that that is a big conversation. But the bottom

1169
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 11: line is for decades, obviously, what the white folks ruled

1170
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 11: that country. They were a minority under apartheid, and they

1171
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 11: did some pretty terrible things. And in response, Nelson Mandela

1172
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 11: and other radicalists Marxists, they did some terrible.

1173
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: Things as well.

1174
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 11: So you've got this nation that is built on this

1175
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 11: foundation of a lot of complexity, racial complexities and otherwise.

1176
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 11: But economically speaking, the country was in relatively good shape

1177
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 11: through the nineteen nineties. That is no longer the case.

1178
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 11: They can't keep their lights on man that they struggled

1179
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 11: to keep their electricity supply because everybody keeps robbing it.

1180
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 11: You've created businesses that have to have a certain number

1181
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 11: of black folks as well, as white. So you have

1182
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 11: racial quotas on everything, schooling, the military, businesses, your electricity supply,

1183
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 11: your water supply, and the nation has struggled profoundly. It

1184
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 11: is not the nation of twenty thirty years ago, even

1185
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 11: when the ANC took over. And so I think that

1186
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 11: that you're right to say. You know, why don't people

1187
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 11: get to a place in South Africa where they are

1188
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 11: they are engaging in revolts. You know, I don't know

1189
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 11: what the cross A lot of people have wondered, like,

1190
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 11: at what point is that nation going to collapse?

1191
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of debate over at the last

1192
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: thirty years.

1193
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 11: It hasn't happened so far because enough people have decided

1194
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 11: to ban together and keep working to try to keep

1195
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 11: the nation together. A lot of business interests still down

1196
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 11: in South Africa, and not just the white folks, but

1197
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 11: a lot of ethnic Indians are in South Africa and

1198
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 11: they're working really hard to keep that nation together as well. So, unfortunately,

1199
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 11: I want to be hopeful for South Africa. They're a

1200
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 11: very important a nation. It's a gorgeous place and the lovely,

1201
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 11: lovely set of people there, but there is this radicalist

1202
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 11: Marxist element that I think, unfortunately could destroy the country.

1203
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 11: So important for us to watch as we try to

1204
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 11: rip that stuff out of our system.

1205
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 3: Man Brian, tell us where we can find you, how

1206
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 3: we can support you all that stuff, you know, the drill. Well,

1207
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 3: look at this.

1208
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I have my cup today. It's the right report. We love.

1209
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 3: People want those cups. I know.

1210
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: Gosh, I got to figure out a way to do it.

1211
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: We're today so ridiculous.

1212
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 3: Put on your piece Buddha gag hat and figure out

1213
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 3: the logistics. Man, figure out the supply chain. Logistics.

1214
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 11: So great, if I go with Pete, my cups are

1215
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 11: going to end up down to Guatemala and we're going

1216
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 11: to be broken.

1217
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: So that's great.

1218
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 11: Uh so yeah, so sevent day or five days a week, God,
