I'm here in New York City and 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: it is a busy time to be sure, in the 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: news cycle. A lot going on. We have the job's 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: numbers in. We've got to talk about that China doing 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: some provocative things around Taiwan in the Taiwan Straits, saying 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: they will no longer cooperate on some things. Now there's 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: some very serious areas of this. And then there's day 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: won't cooperate on climate change. Oh, no, anything but that. 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: But we will discuss this situation there and how the 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: escalation is continuing on. More On the aftermath of the 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Brittany Grinder sentencing to a Russian prison for nine years, 18 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: the Russians have confirmed that they are in fact Sergei 19 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: Lavrov has said that they are in fact considering a 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: deal that would involve Victor Bout and yeah, there's that. 21 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: There's also federal charges that have been brought against four 22 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: Louisville police officers, civil rights charges involved in the search 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: warrant and subsequent shooting of Brianna Taylor. Merrick Garland announced 24 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: that you actually will discuss also on the justice front, 25 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: you have Governor Ronda Santis suspending a state's attorney in 26 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: Tampa because he's a progressive prosecutor who thinks he is 27 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: above the law. I mean, that's just some of what 28 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: we've got going on here that are just those are 29 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: just some of the things that are at issue. But 30 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: first we have the jobs numbers, and I gotta tell 31 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: you I have been a little bit concerned about this 32 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: for a while. You can consider it the political rebound effect. 33 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: How much worse can something get for the Biden administration 34 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: before it starts to look like it's turning around. And 35 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: timing is everything in politics. We remind you frequently here 36 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: about the lockdowns about fauciism, the mask mandates, the vaccine mandates, 37 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: the sky high price of gas, of the very high 38 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: inflation rate, all of these things that have brought the 39 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: Biden poll numbers to their lowest ever levels. I've been 40 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: down into the thirties right depending on the poll you 41 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: look at. And I've been concerned that at some point 42 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: this is going to have to get better for the 43 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Biden regime. Meaning when you hit the basement right nowhere 44 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: to go, but somewhere in the direction of up, it's 45 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: going to turn around. Now. I don't think the economy is, 46 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: to be clear turning around in a structural way. But 47 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: this was when you look at the jobs numbers, a 48 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: strong month of jobs. We live in reality here, and 49 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: this is why we have to take stock of the 50 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: fact that this week has been on a number of 51 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: fronts energizing and mobilizing for the political opposition. We absolutely 52 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: cannot take our foot off the gas pedal here. It's August, 53 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: plenty of time still for the numbers to shift in 54 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: favor of the Democrats, and you have a very different 55 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: reality if they hold the Senate, then if we take 56 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: the Senate and the House in this mid term. We'll 57 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: talk about that at a moment, but first off, here 58 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: is the announcement. I mean, I'll give you a well here. 59 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: The media was very excited about this today. Oh my, 60 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: as Dickenberg would say five hundred and twenty eight thousand 61 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: jobs created or restored. Hard to believe, But the US 62 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: economy added five hundred and twenty eight thousand jobs in July. 63 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: It is a whopper, five hundred and twenty eight thousand, 64 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: much higher than expected. The US adding five hundred and 65 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: twenty eight thousand jobs last month, much higher than consensus. 66 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: It was a strong number, the best number since March. 67 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: We can dispel the notion that the economy is currently 68 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: in recession. If we were intercession, companies would be laying 69 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: people are rather than hiring them. If you're trying to 70 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: make the argument it's all doom and gloom out there 71 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: and we're on a fast track to recession, you can't. 72 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: This is not your father's recession. The only word I 73 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: can use Harry's wow. Wow. You're that at the end. 74 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: They're they're very happy about it, and there's a bid 75 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: of a bit of people taking a victory lap too. 76 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: Even on the change of the definition of recession, you're 77 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: noticing that, right You're hearing people say, oh, well, this 78 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: shows that all those efforts to switch the definition on 79 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: Miriam Webster and on Wikipedia, it was all legitimate. Because 80 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: we're not really in a recession. No. Someone explained that 81 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: if the jobs numbers are so good, and they're just 82 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: good this month and they'll be revised next month. But 83 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: if the jobs numbers are so good, why have we 84 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: had two quarters of negative GDP? And even if the 85 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: jobs numbers continue to be somewhat strong going into the fall, 86 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: everything is more expensive. That hurts because there are a 87 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: lot of people that have jobs and we have to 88 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: think about them too. Right, this is just one sector 89 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: of the overall economy, of the overall economy. But be 90 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: prepared for this. I mean be prepared for the stenographer 91 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: of the Biden regime. People who believe their jobs are 92 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: to present the most favorable of possible narratives for this 93 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: Biden White House. They're going to go all in on 94 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: c This is this is great, This is exactly what 95 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: we need in this current moment politically, at this moment, 96 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: this is a very good report for President Biden. First 97 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: of all, we had a couple of weeks ago silly 98 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: extended debate over whether or not we were in a recession. 99 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: These numbers make pretty clear we are not in a recession. 100 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: You don't add half a million jobs when in a 101 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: recessionary environment makes it more likely that that first quarter 102 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: GDP number is going to get revised up and not 103 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: be negative as it was in the initial report. There's 104 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: nothing presidents like better than adding a lot of jobs 105 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: and being able to tell Americans it's a great time 106 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: to go out and get a job. So they're feeling 107 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: pretty good about things right now. The stenographers left wing Democrat, 108 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 1: corporate aligned media saying uh huh. Now, first off, there's 109 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: another perspective on this, and here is just to give 110 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: you that Peter Schiff, who is the europe Pacific Capital CEO. 111 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: He's saying, oh, no, no, no, it's actually even worse 112 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: than people think it is. The recession that we are 113 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: currently in is actually a lot worse already than people think. 114 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: Look at the data that came out on Friday on 115 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: household debt surging to a new all time record high 116 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: sixteen point one five trillion. You know, American families have 117 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: taken on two trillion dollars of debt just since the pandemic. 118 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: But worse, the national debt has increased by eight trillion 119 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: during the same time period. American households are responsible for 120 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: paying that debt, but they're already drowning on their own debt. 121 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: Credit Card debt year over year just rose by the 122 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: most in twenty years, and that's because Americans are having 123 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: to put their groceries on their credit cards. That's not good, folks, 124 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,679 Speaker 1: that's not good. They can look at the job numbers, 125 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: but what about everybody else? What about the debt that 126 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: is occurring? What about the cost the expenses that people 127 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: are dealing with. This is where you say to yourself, 128 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: will hold on a second, which one of these things 129 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: is actually the more accurate, the more accurate sense of 130 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: where we're going. National debt increased by eight trillion dollars. 131 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: We're looking at long term structural issues here and risks, 132 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: structural risks in the economy, and the addition of household 133 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: debt is also deeply concerning. People can't actually pay for things. 134 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: But I also understand that there's the reality of what 135 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: the economy is doing, and there's a lot of factors 136 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: coming together right now. And people are going to dispute 137 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: that you feel the high prices, but they're going to 138 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: keep pointing to that three point five percent unemployment rate. Biden, 139 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: every Democrat's gonna say, see, look at how great the 140 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: unemployment rate is okay, so that's under way. That's that's 141 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: something that we have to be prepared for. And then 142 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: also when you look at what's happening this week alone, 143 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: they have the path. They completely outmaneuvered Republicans on the 144 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: Chips Act. Republicans go, you know, okay, for national defense, 145 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna go along with the Democrats on this one, 146 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: and the Democrats say, don't worry, we're not gonna actually, 147 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're not gonna pass a big inflation bill. 148 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: Hold on a second. The Molan Republicans go along with 149 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: the Chips Act. Democrats come back and say, yeah, actually 150 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna do that thing we said we weren't gonna do, 151 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: and Joe Mansion leads the charge for them, going yeah, well, 152 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: you know, I told you I wouldn't, but now I 153 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: will outmaneuvered Republicans on the Chips Act. And then the 154 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: Anti Inflation Bill, which when we got to come up, 155 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: we should really just call it the inflation bill because 156 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: it's making inflation. But notice they just name it whatever 157 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: they have to based on the poll testing of what 158 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: the concerns that people have right now. Maybe, but they 159 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: got that lined up to go. Cinema says, she's a 160 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: yes on it. She's bailing out the private equity and 161 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: hedge fund guys who get the carried interest loophole that 162 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: was gonna be fifteen billion of revenue. Cinema says, no, no no, no, no, 163 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: those are rich donors. I want to keep that for them. 164 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: Democrats don't really care about paying your fair share. They 165 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: just want to take a lot from you and give 166 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: it to people to keep them in power. She's a yes, 167 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: which I knew she would be. So they get the 168 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: Chips Bill, which is a spending bill. Republicans went along 169 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: with it. They school the Republicans on the facts of 170 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: life when it comes to what happens in politics when 171 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: you just go with a handshake and a smile. They 172 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: pass or are in the process of passing. I believe 173 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: tomorrow they're actually going to hold the Senate vote on it, 174 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: This anti inflation Biden Bill, which is just a version 175 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: of Build Back Better. And they also now have the 176 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: Kansas referendum, which they've used a huge victory for abortion 177 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: rights or you know, for abortion. Although I think that's exaggerated, 178 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: it is something that has energized the multi billion dollar 179 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: abortion industry and lobby. So now with the job support, 180 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're feeling like the winds are shifting 181 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: in their direction. I'm not panicking. I'm not saying that 182 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: we aren't going to have a very strong showing in 183 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: this mid term. I do think this week is a 184 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,119 Speaker 1: reminder that there is no celebration until the victory is complete. 185 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: There is no retreat until we are victorious. That means 186 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: taking back both the House and the Senate. The House 187 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: is looking good, but we want a big majority in 188 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: the House. Just a little itty bitty majority. You want 189 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: a big majority in the House and in the Senate. 190 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. We'll talk more about some of 191 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: these Senate races in just a few minutes here, So 192 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: stay with me for all of that.

Why not give yourself an edge. 199 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: There's something that counteracts that sense of malaise and I 200 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: don't want to move.

Big congratulations to Carry 226 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: Lake for winning the GOP primary out in Arizona for 227 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: the governor's mansion. She said that she had the only 228 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: pathway to win after there was a little bit of 229 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: a too close to call moment in the media. And 230 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: she is now officially I thought I thought she would be. 231 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: She is officially now the GOP nominee in that race. 232 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be it's gonna be big, folks. Gonna 233 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: be a big election cycle in this in this fall, 234 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: and we're gonna be talking about it so much. So 235 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: a win for Carry Lake, that's that's a good thing. Obviously, 236 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: this is primary stuff, though we want to see some 237 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: wins in the general elections. I think Carry's going to 238 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: be a formidable candidate there as well. I did say 239 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: Page and doctor Oz, you might have to get him 240 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: on the show and say, hey, can you can you 241 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: please take the take the fight to the Fetterman campaign 242 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: a little bit more here up in Pennsylvania, because this 243 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: is a guy who is in favor of Fetterman, in 244 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: favor of men competing on women's sports team, says that 245 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: fracking was a stain on the state of Pennsylvania, which 246 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: is just crazy. Had his parents paying his bills until 247 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: he was in his forties. But he looks like a 248 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: like a kind of a rough and tumble guy. He looks, 249 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, like a person you'd know from the steel 250 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: mill or whatever. So that seems to be throwing off 251 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: some voters there. He's a progressive, he's a left wing 252 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: guy who has had wealthy parents paying his bills as 253 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: an adult for quite a number of years. So I 254 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: think doctor Roz got to step it up a little 255 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: bit there. We also should bring back herschel Walker soon 256 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: to talk about what he's doing in the state of 257 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: Georgia to take that seat from from Raphael Warnock. So 258 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: we're not looking great on the Senate side. We got 259 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: to really step it up when you're looking at these 260 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: close Senate races. Arizona, Arizona Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia. These are critical. 261 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: These are critical places right now for a g OP pickup. 262 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: And remember, if they managed to hold on to the Senate, 263 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: if the Democrats even by the narrowest, even by the 264 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: fifty fifty we currently have because Kamala Harris is the tiebreaker, 265 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: if they managed to do that, they're gonna get some 266 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: judicial nominees in place, They're gonna get their appointees. Sailing 267 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: right through even a divided Congress with the Senate in 268 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: the hands of Democrats is going to be a challenge. 269 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: That's going to be something that we really would like 270 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: to avoid, and right now is not looking It's so 271 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: good you got Laxa against Cortez, Masto and Nevada. That 272 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: one is is a toss up right now. I think 273 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: lack Salt's gonna be able to pull ahead there. Oz 274 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: Fetterman keep saying it. We gotta step up on that one. 275 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: I've got to think about how to make that one 276 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: a closer race than it currently is. So those are 277 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: the ones, the ones that are on the margins. Balduck 278 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: and Hassan up in a New Hampshire. That one's gonna 279 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: go blue. So anyway, we can't get ahead of ourselves 280 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: or can't celebrate you early because there's nothing to celebrate. 281 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: Bottom line, we haven't done anything yet, We have not 282 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: actually won, and so I want everyone to stay focused 283 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: on it. We will continue to look closely at these 284 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: issues and make sure that we give them all the 285 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: due attention because the border inflation, the Afghanistan withdrawal, COVID policies, 286 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: these are all areas were I mean, Democrats should just 287 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,959 Speaker 1: be getting completely crushed when you add these things together. 288 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: And yet in the Senate. On the Senate side, it's 289 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: going to come down to candidates against candidates. It's not 290 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: The national narrative is not going to be enough. The 291 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: national narrative is not going to get it done. So 292 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: this is why it's so important for us to continue 293 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: to spend time folks again and making sure that you're 294 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: all fired up about this. Down in floor. Is some 295 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: good news. I just said to talk to you about 296 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: the the Brianna Taylor case before it's there's a lot, 297 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: there are a lot of moving pieces there, so I 298 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: know I had to go and add some additional details. 299 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, the only officer who was charged Matt in 300 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: that case. Who was acquitted was his He didn't actually 301 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: hit Brianna Taylor. And the individual who shot at the 302 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: officers was charged, but he he was charged with trying 303 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: to kill one of the police officers. He was not 304 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: He was found not guilty, and there Brianna Taylor's family 305 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: got twelve million dollars from the city of Louisville, and 306 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: there was a ban on no knock raids and acted 307 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: as a result of it. And the officers were either 308 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: resigned or were fired who were involved in it. One 309 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: of them faced criminal charges, and now there's federal charges 310 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: against all four. Is the final way this case is 311 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: going down. So who controls the levers of justice is 312 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: a very important thing. Who's making the decisions about prosecution, 313 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: about resources from the justice system. Look, there's no other 314 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: The IRS has the power to really harass you and 315 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: maybe ruin your life, but usually it doesn't go that far. 316 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: As much as the Democrats want to make more IRS officers, 317 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: more IRS agents able to audit you. But the DOJ 318 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: can destroy you if it wants to. It'll bankrupt you, 319 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: it'll ruin your reputation if you have the wrong people 320 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: in charge there. It's also true of state prosecutors. I 321 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: have not forgotten at all, and some of you who 322 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: live and we've got a great audience up in Milwaukee 323 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: and the Wisconsin Wisconsin in general Milwaukee area, the efforts 324 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: to go after Scott Walker using what they called the 325 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: John Doe laws in that state, pushed by the most 326 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: dishonest and disgraceful left wing prosecutors out of Milwaukee. By 327 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: the way, they would do everything in their power to 328 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: try to try to destroy Scott Walker politically, including ruining 329 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: employees of the state of Wisconsin for the most minor 330 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: and fraction if they thought they were somehow coordinating their 331 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: messaging with the Walker campaign. It was crazy stuff that 332 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: John Doe investigates. You to go back and remember that. 333 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: It's worth actually a read again just to see. The 334 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: good news is that it doesn't have to be this way. 335 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: And when you have progressive prosecutors who are engaged in 336 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: politics instead of law enforcement, you can take steps against them. 337 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so happy to see Governor Ron Desantists, 338 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: who I feel like just keep showing Republican governors the way. 339 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: Now there are others who who are doing a lot 340 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: of follow onto what Desantist does, which is great. We 341 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: had Kevin Stiddon recently from Oklahoma. He's doing a great job. 342 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: There are governors out there who are saying, I see 343 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: what's going on in Florida and I want to take 344 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: similar actions. But desantists just yesterday suspended Soros backs State 345 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: Attorney Andrew Warren. Here is the announcement of that we 346 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: don't elect people in one part of the state to 347 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: have veto power over what the entire state decides on 348 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: these important issues. The Constitution of Florida has vested the 349 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: veto power in the governor, not an individual state attorneys. 350 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: And so when you flagrantly violate your oath of office, 351 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: when you make yourself above the law, you have violated 352 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: your duty, you have neglected your duty, and you are 353 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: displaying a lack of competence to be able to reform 354 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: those duties. And so today we are suspending State Attorney 355 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: Andrew Warren, effective in media suspended him, and I hope 356 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: I don't know what the regulations are, the rules on 357 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: the books are in the state of Florida for this specifically, 358 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: but I hope they're able to terminate him. He has 359 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: made it very clear. First of all, he was, and 360 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 1: I saw this last night on a Tucker Show on Fox. 361 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: Andrew Warren was one of these people who was bragging 362 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: effectively about arresting, arresting priests for having a service or 363 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: a deacon, I forget what is specific religious affiliation was 364 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: but arresting somebody for having church services. And he was saying, Yeah, 365 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: that's right, that's how we keep you safe. So he's 366 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: a progressive, he's a lib. And these people are crazy. 367 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: I mean, they just they don't live in reality, and 368 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: they will. They will hurt you with the power they 369 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: have if they can and if they desire to do so. 370 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: So you got to take action here. I mean Alvin Bragg, 371 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: who is the disattorney in New York right now, he's 372 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure because the numbers are just 373 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: irrefutable at this point, spent a lot of time talking 374 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 1: about it yesterday. You've got people committing over a hundred 375 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: crimes and never serving any real time. One hundred arrests. 376 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a company, you arrest somebody for 377 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: the hundredth time, you got to think, what's the point 378 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: of this exactly? They're not actually paying a price. We 379 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: were led to believe by this progressive prosecutor movement by 380 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: the end mass incarceration BLM activists that there's so many 381 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: people who are in prison who are either entirely innocent 382 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: or didn't do anything really very minor stole a bag 383 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: of potato chips and now they're serving ten years. It's awful. 384 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: It's not true. It's just not true. And that change 385 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: is finally, I think, settling into people's minds. I think 386 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: they're starting to see more and more now the direct 387 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: cause and effect here. If you have a progressive prosecutor, 388 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: you have somebody who's an ideologue as a prosecutor, and 389 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: they undermine the law. Actually, it's worse than not being 390 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: good at their jobs. They hurt the law that they 391 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: are supposed to be protecting. And that's exactly what was 392 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: going on in Florida in the Tampa area, and it's 393 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: happening in many places. So anyway, any Republican governors who 394 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: can should take action here. Les Elden running against HOCl 395 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: in New York State, I just any New Yorker at 396 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: this point, what are you doing voting for HOC? Honestly, 397 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: such a disaster, wrong on everything, and just so really 398 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: to say unimpressive, is very kind. Why is anyone going 399 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: to vote for this? Lady? Wow, people just vote Democrats. 400 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: They vote Democrat. Leezelvin says he'll fire Alvin Bragg as governor. 401 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: He'll fire the district Attorney of New York first day 402 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: on the job. Are all the other Republican governors paying 403 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: attention because I know in some of the cities, even 404 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: Houston progressive prosecutor. How many folks well, actually Houston residents 405 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: certainly know that, but people the rest of the country 406 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: think about that. The state of Texas, you wouldn't expect 407 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: it progressive. I'm sure the prosecutor in either Dallas or 408 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: Austin or both is probably progressive as well. Maybe even 409 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: Sorrow's funded. It's hard to keep up because there's so 410 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: many of them. Take action, get rid of where possible 411 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: and lawful, these prosecutors who are left wing activists wielding 412 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: the law for the benefit of the Democrat Party and 413 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: for honestly, the socialist and commie mindset in this country. 414 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: Do what you can use the power that you have 415 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: while you have it, because there are quite literally lives 416 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: at stake. We look at the homicide numbers, you look 417 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: at the shootings, the assaults, the rapes, the rob breeze. 418 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: If people aren't going to use their power to protect 419 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: the innocent, they should not be prosecutors.

So we are as somebody who was 443 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: in the FBI building on nine to eleven a little 444 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: over twenty years ago and have met with the families 445 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: in the years afterwards. I think about that day every day, 446 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: especially now that we're out. I'm worried about the potential 447 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: loss of sources and collection over there, so we're gonna 448 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: have growing intelligence scats, and I'm worried about the possibility 449 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: that we will see el Kaieda reconstitute the ices K, 450 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: potentially taking advantage of the deteriorating security environment. And I'm 451 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: worried about terrorists, including here in the United States, being 452 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: inspired by what they see over there. Welcome back to 453 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: clay An Buck. That was the FBI direct Chris Ray 454 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: saying that, And he's an institutionalist, by the way, I 455 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: don't think that it's even so much that he is 456 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: a Democrat aligned individual as he is aligned with the 457 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: institution of the FBI above all else, which is often 458 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: the case for people that rise through these bureaucracies. But 459 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: that said, I was just telling you as a wake 460 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: up week for us in politics, for Republicans, for conservatives. 461 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: I also think on the national security side, we got 462 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: a bit of a wake up call in a number 463 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: of a number of fronts a number of places around 464 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: the world. Let's start with the strike in Afghanistan against 465 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm in all Zawihiri, so Zawehire's gone hit with a 466 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: so called ninja missile. Big blades come out of it. 467 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't have the same spital effect as a more conventional 468 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: explosive missiles do. So it's like they call it a switchblade. 469 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: I think as well, right, isn't that or maybe just 470 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: the ninja missile. There's switchblade drones. I don't know. Stuff 471 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: to keep up with all the cool names for these things. 472 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: They didn't have back in my day. We didn't have 473 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: ninja missiles. We had the old school missiles. But they 474 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: took out so our here, which is a good thing 475 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: in that it is justice. But for anybody who understands 476 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: the region he was living in, a big house writing 477 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: downtown Cobble, one hundred percent that the regime, the Taliban 478 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: knows about his presence, welcomed his presence, and we're defending him. 479 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: We're giving him safe harbor. There's no question about that. 480 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: So just understand that al Qaeda's top leader, the number 481 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: two to have have been lauden for many years, the guy 482 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,479 Speaker 1: who was directly involved in plotting nine to eleven as 483 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: well as other major attacks. He was saying as a 484 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: special guest, a VIP guest of the Taliban in Kabble. 485 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: Now right now, we see these situation Afghanistan. They're having 486 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: food shortages, their economy is a mess, and we just 487 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: hope that it stays pretty quiet for a while. But 488 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: everybody who knows the region, I know many of you 489 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: served there, you know all too well the realities of 490 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: the Taliban, the Taliban mindset, it's just a matter of 491 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: time before they start to support in ways that maybe 492 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: at first have plausible deniability on the world stage. But 493 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't even know how much they care about that 494 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: support gee hottest terrorist groups in their own country but 495 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: also throughout the region. It's only a matter of time. 496 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: What are we going to do about that that's a 497 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: tough conversation to have right now, isn't it. We know 498 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: we don't want to go in there and try to 499 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: rebuild the country, but Afghanistan as a platform for global 500 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: gee hottests. Again, I would say it is likely that 501 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: that happens in Perhaps it's going to take a few years, 502 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: but that's where it's heading. That's what's going on there. 503 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: Iran has said that they will get or they've gotten 504 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: even closer to nuclear breakout capacity. The Iranians now flexing 505 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: muscle on that issue with Russia. Remember in the early 506 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: days we were told of the Russia Ukraine War. First 507 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: of all, there was such a focus on the ghost 508 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: of Kiev. Fake the sailors who died on Snake Islands 509 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: didn't happen that way. The Russians are going to pull 510 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: out any moment, because the Ukrainian military is valiantly defending 511 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: their home territory against the Russian bear. True in the 512 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: sense that they were valiant, False in the sense that 513 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: obviously the war has been going on for many months now. 514 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: Russian economy has proved durable throughout even though we have 515 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: all these sanctions and the rest of the place and 516 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: Putin has not for one second forgotten that we are 517 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: sending munitions that are being directly used to kill Russian soldiers. 518 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: I'll remind everybody you know, you have to think about 519 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: this the way your enemy does to understand what their 520 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: next moves may be. There was a period of time 521 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: when the Iranians we're using or we're sending EFPs, and 522 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: then the Iranians just had their militias, their people conducting 523 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: these kinds of attacks too. And the Iranian hand in 524 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: Iraq has only gotten stronger in the last ten years. 525 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: But they were they were sending over EFP's explosively formed 526 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: penetrators where the explosion behind a copper plate creates this 527 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: almost like a metal molten hyper bullet that punches holes 528 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: even in up armored vehicles, and that was used to 529 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: kill and maim a lot of our service. The Iranians 530 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: did that, and we and we remember we held we 531 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: held them to account in some ways, not nearly as 532 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: much as we should have. But that was certainly on 533 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: the minds of the people around Trump when they ordered 534 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: the strike that took out Kasam Solimani. Remember that Kasam 535 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: Solimani strike. He had that whole program of supplying arms 536 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: to Shia militias in Iraq that we're attacking US soldiers. 537 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: Point here, being putin is not okay with what's going on, 538 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: and he will find ways to try to offset the 539 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: US influence, offset US stability around the world and at home. 540 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: Now you can be prepared for that. And of course China, 541 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: China in the aftermath of the Pelosi visit, there which 542 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: very interesting to see people are on the right supportive 543 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: of the visit, but also critical of what the visit 544 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: will accomplish. It's there's a very confused, used messaging over Taiwan. 545 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: It's strategic ambiguity is our policy in more ways than 546 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: people are willing to admit. It's really just ambiguity in general, 547 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: because we don't know what the heck we're going to do. 548 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do here? We keep saying 549 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: that we support and when I say we, I mean 550 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: the US government supports the One China policy and not 551 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: unilateral independence for Taiwan, but doesn't support a Chinese obviously 552 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: would theoretically oppose, even with military force, a Chinese invasion 553 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: of Taiwan. All right, well, where does that leave us? 554 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: In response to the Pelosi visit ap saying that China 555 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: announced it will end all contact with the US on 556 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: major issues climate cooperation that led to the International Paris Accord. Yeah, 557 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: well that doesn't worry. I mean other things do though, 558 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: high level military discussions freezing lines of communitytions. There. There 559 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: are exercises going on right now, including the firing of 560 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: missiles that have splashed in Taiwanese waters. Chinese firing those missiles. 561 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: The USS Reagan, the aircraft carrier, has been told to 562 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 1: stay in the region to keep an eye on things. 563 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: This is a This is a downturn in the regional 564 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: stability and security that the Biden administration didn't really invite. 565 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi did. So what exactly are we going to 566 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: do in response to all of that? I sense a 567 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: deterioration coming. I do not believe that people can predict 568 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: the future, but I think you can see trends. Look 569 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: at this White House, look at the people making these decisions. 570 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 1: They are incompetent. They take the America last position as 571 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: often as they can. And these areas of the world 572 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: that have been major regions of either conflict or serious 573 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: instability for years. Now things are heating up. Things are 574 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: heating up, and we got Joe Biden in charge. So 575 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't know where it's going to happen, but I 576 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: do think this administration it's not gonna It's likely that 577 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: it won't happen before the election, but I think you're 578 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: going to see this Biden administration tested with an international 579 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: relations and national security crisis that rocks it to its core. 580 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: We already saw an Afghanistan with the withdrawal. What a 581 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: debacle that was. Same people are in charge, my friends, 582 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: same decision makers at the top. Something's coming our way, 583 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, with this team calling the shots, it's not 584 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: going to go well. So we need to be prepared. 585 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: We need to get ready. How's it that a single 586 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: product can help so many people?

We've all seen 610 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,280 Speaker 1: the sentencing conviction of Britney Grinder to nine years in prison, 611 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: and that further compounds the injustice that's being done to 612 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: her and her wrongful detention. It puts a spotlight on 613 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: our very Signfican concern with Russia's legal system and the 614 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: Russian government's use of wrongful detentions to advance its own 615 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: agenda using individuals as political bonds. The same goes for 616 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: Paul Wheelan. We put forward, as you know, a substantial 617 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: proposal that Russias had engaged with us on. And what 618 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: Foreign Minister Lavrov said this morning and said publicly, is 619 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: that they are prepared to engage through channels we've established 620 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: to do just that, and we'll be pursuing that. That 621 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: was a Secretary of State speaking about Britney Grinder getting 622 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: a nine year sentence in Russian prison, where she's going 623 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: to Russian prisons as of now for nine years. Just yesterday, 624 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: the Russians have confirmed that the trade negotiations are under 625 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: way for Victor Bout, the arms trafficker, notorious arms trafficker 626 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: who served as the inspiration for the Nicolas Cage character 627 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: in the film Lord of War. That trade may be happening, 628 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: and it would include Paul whale In, a former marine 629 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: who was wrongfully charged with espionage in Russia. And so 630 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: this is a inherently a foreign policy issue, which is 631 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: why the Secretary of State anytime an American has held abroad, 632 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: there's a reason that the embassy gets involved. Now, that 633 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: doesn't mean the embassy gets you out. Doesn't mean the 634 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: American government even says, hey, you're not allowed to hold 635 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: that person. Depends on what you do. You know, if 636 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: you're drunk driving and caused a serious accident in Tajikistan, 637 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: you're going to serve some time in prison, right, doesn't 638 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: matter that there's a US embassy there. They're going to say, yeah, 639 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: this person violeted your laws. But they'll they'll be there 640 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: to make sure that you have some for you know, 641 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: for humanitarian purposes. Some do process rights that they'll try 642 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: to do what they can with the the host government 643 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: to make sure that the best interests of that American 644 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: citizen are looked after. Essentially is how it goes. But 645 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: I know there was a really interesting how much the 646 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: the audience I think yesterday of this program really felt 647 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: a whole range of emotions over this um when it 648 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,959 Speaker 1: comes to Brittany Griner and I should you know, there's 649 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: this amazing story. I don't know if anyone can there's 650 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: a I've seen it pop up over the years. I 651 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: wonder if it is apocryphal. It's supposedly from the Ronald 652 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan's speech back in I think it was the 653 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: seventies where he talked about the uss Ingram and a 654 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: refugee from the Austro Hungarian Empire and Kasta. I've not 655 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: been able to find that much documentation of this speech, 656 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 1: and it looks like one of these stories that I 657 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: don't know. It's an amazing story though, for what it is, 658 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: and you know what, I'll read this one thing. I 659 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: can't verify the providence of this, but it's a good story, 660 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: so we can say it's either a speech that it's 661 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: either from a speech that Reagan gave, or it's just 662 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 1: something that somebody made up on the Internet that sounds 663 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: like a speech Reagan gave, and it's really good. I 664 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: know there is a uss Ingram, there have been many 665 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: of them, many iterations of that in the United States Navy. 666 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: But you see this one. This is the story that 667 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: pops up. And I'm wondering if someone could send me 668 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: a true source verification for this in Reagan's speeches, because 669 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: I've done a little looking and was naughty, and don't 670 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: just send me like Reagan speech slash net dot php underscore. 671 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: It's got to be you know, show me. I need 672 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: to see the original source material on it. But here's 673 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: the story, apocryphal or not. In less than twenty years, 674 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: would go because the god given rights of American sailors, 675 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: as defined in the Constitution were being violated by a 676 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: foreign power. This is supposed to be Reagan speaking here. 677 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: We serve notice then, on the world, that all of 678 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 1: us together would act collectively to safeguard the rights of 679 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: even the least among us. But still in an older 680 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: cynical world, they were not convinced. The great powers of 681 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,439 Speaker 1: Europe still had the idea that one day this great 682 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,479 Speaker 1: continent would be open again to colonizing, and they would 683 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: come over and divide us up. In the meantime, men 684 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: who yearned to breathe free were making their way to 685 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: our shores. Among them was a young refugee from the 686 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: Austro Hungarian Empire. He had been a leader in an 687 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: attempt to free Hungary from Austrian rule. The attempt had failed, 688 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: and he fled to escape execution. In America. This young 689 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 1: Hungarian Costa by name, became an importer by trade and 690 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: took out his first citizenship papers. One day, business took 691 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: him to a Mediterranean port. There was a large Austrian 692 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: warship under the command of an admiral in the harbor. 693 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: He had a manservant with him. He had described this 694 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: manservant what the flag of his new country looked like. 695 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: Word was passed to the Austrian warship. At This revolutionary 696 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: was there, and in the night he was kidnapped and 697 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 1: taken aboard that large ship. This man's servant, desperate, walking 698 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: up and down the harbor, suddenly spied a flag that 699 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 1: resembled the description he had heard. It was a small 700 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: American war sloop. He went aboard and told Captain Ingraham 701 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 1: of that war sloop his story. Captain Ingraham went to 702 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: the American consul. When the American consul learned that Costa 703 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: had only taken out his first citizenship papers, the consul 704 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 1: washed his hands of the incident. Captain Ingraham said, I 705 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: am the senior officer in this port, and I believe, 706 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: under my oath of my office, that I owe this 707 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: man the protection of our flag. He went aboard the 708 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,320 Speaker 1: Austrian warship and demanded to see their prisoner, our citizen. 709 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: The admiral was amused, but they brought the man on deck. 710 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: He was in chains and had been badly beaten. Captain 711 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: Ingraham said, I can hear him better without those chains, 712 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: and the chains were removed. He walked over and said 713 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: to Costa, I will ask you one question. Consider your 714 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: answer carefully. Do you ask the protection of the American 715 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: flag Becausta not a dumbley? Yes? And the captain said 716 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: you shall have it. He went back and told the 717 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: frightened console what he had done. Later in the day, 718 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: three more Austrian warships sailed into the harbor. It looked 719 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 1: as though the four were getting ready to leave. Captain 720 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: Ingraham sent a junior officer over to the Austrian flagship 721 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: to tell the admiral that any attempt to leave that 722 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: harbor with our citizen aboard would be resisted with appropriate force. 723 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,399 Speaker 1: He said that he would expect a satisfactory answer by 724 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 1: four o'clock that afternoon. As the hour near, they looked 725 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,919 Speaker 1: at each other through the glasses. As it struck four, 726 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: he had them roll the cannons into ports and had 727 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: them light the tapers with which they would set off 728 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,959 Speaker 1: the cannons just one little sloop. Suddenly the lookout tower 729 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: called out and said, they are lowering a boat, and 730 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: they rode Costa over to the little American ship. Captain 731 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: Ingraham then went below and wrote his resignation letter for 732 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: the United States Navy. In it, he said, I did 733 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: what I thought my office of oath required, but if 734 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: I have embarrassed my country in any way, I resign. 735 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 1: His resignation was refused in the United States Senate with 736 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: these words. This battle that was never fought may turn 737 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: out to be the most important battle in our nation's history. Incidentally, 738 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: to this day, there always will be and has been 739 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: a uss Ingraham in the United States Navy. I don't 740 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 1: know if that's really from a regged speech. It's one 741 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: of these things that gets set around by like you know, 742 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 1: friends or friends on the internet. It's a great story. 743 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: Is it real? I don't know. Sounds real. It's well written, 744 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: but it was making its rounds and I just I 745 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: thought of this because I'd seen this for many, many 746 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: years circulating on the internet, and I thought, well, that's 747 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: kind of how I feel about any American who is 748 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: held abroad. So it please it. By the way, if 749 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,399 Speaker 1: you can prove it that is real, let it let 750 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: me know. Don't send a link that seems kind of 751 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 1: seems suspect. But it's the basic ethos of this I 752 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 1: agree with, which is that if you're an American, you're 753 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: one of ours. Even if you say annoying stuff, even 754 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: if you have bad you know, bad politics, whatever, if 755 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 1: you're an American, you're one of ours. And that still matters, 756 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: still matters to me, And the First Amendment still matters 757 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: to me a lot too, which is why I'm I'm. 758 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about this 759 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: or covering the the trial right now going on with 760 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: Alex Jones. And I'll say this, if I had watched 761 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 1: it more closely, if I had more time, I think 762 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: I would have spent more on it this week. But 763 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that have been happening and 764 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: I just haven't really been diving into it. Look, the 765 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: stuff that he said about Sandy Oak, we all knows 766 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: is atrocious. It's wrong, and it's grotesque. But they I 767 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: do remember that Alex Jones was the first person that 768 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 1: they really made an example of on the internet, years 769 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 1: and years ago, before they were admitting that they were 770 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 1: banning conservatives, they banned Alex Jones, or I should say, 771 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 1: before they were banning people like me or or anyone else, 772 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, for saying masks don't work or having having 773 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: any questions about the vaccines. Alex Jones was the first 774 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: person I can remember to be deep personed in essence 775 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: from the Internet by big tech. So I remember that lesson, 776 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: and it was because he was a They would saying 777 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: he was a crazy person, and he's you know, he's 778 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: s taking a couple of shots at me in the past. Whatever. 779 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: It's part of the business for some people. They say 780 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: things about some people. And he said, I was I 781 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 1: think a CIA plant meant to take over the media, 782 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 1: which I wish man that would be amazing. CIA was 783 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 1: backing me taking over the media. Book Sexton part of 784 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: the CIA. He's gonna just take it all over, build 785 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: a Berg's Illuminati. But he's unders he's gone through this 786 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 1: Trilogy's got a four million dollars judgment against him. And 787 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, there is this I think we've lost sight 788 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,839 Speaker 1: in this country. We have both a legal and an 789 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: ethical principle that free speech, even speech that is heinous, 790 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: even speech that is wrong, is protected. I know there 791 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: are exceptions with defamation. I know there are some places 792 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,879 Speaker 1: where that is not an absolute, but are they making 793 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 1: an example of Alex Jones right now, because no one's 794 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 1: going to stand up and in any way defend the 795 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 1: things that he said. Are they Are they doing this 796 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,280 Speaker 1: though at some level because this will be a precedent 797 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 1: that has used to shut down people who are you know, 798 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: vaccine critic criminals, so to speak. Look at the lives 799 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: that you've caused by being a questioner of the vaccine. 800 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: I do worry about this, and I think that it's 801 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: something we all have to keep an eye on that 802 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: It always starts with the least defensible. It always starts 803 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 1: with the people that you say, oh you know that, 804 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 1: why do you say that? Or why is he doing that? 805 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 1: And the left never leaves it there.
