1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Third hour, Clay and Buck get's going now we got 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: the breaking news from the last hour. President of Harvard 3 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: has resigned. He's no longer in process of she has resigned. 4 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: Letter is out, and we have found that there are 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: some limits, even for the most celebrated DEI hires out there, 6 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: there are some limits to what they can do in 7 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: a professional context without facing any consequences. And that is 8 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,959 Speaker 1: something that I don't think you could have said necessarily 9 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: with any confidence. Before this resignation happened, it looked like 10 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: the president of Harvard was going to hold on. Remember 11 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't additional pressure over the anti Semitic comments. And 12 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: you know what she said, if you remember back to 13 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: the testimony before Congress, was essentially calling for the extra 14 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: termination of the Jews on a campus. It would require 15 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: context to know how Harvard would respond to that, and 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: that was That's a shortened version of but that's basically 17 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: what she said. And I understand that is the expectation 18 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: from the left. She said what the left wanted her to. 19 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: I think that's important. I think that needs to be 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: kept in mind here. She she wasn't breaking from what 21 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the radical left consensus is on that issue. And the 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: media that they've known that the radical left is not 23 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: just makes room for anti semitism, but it is often, 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, hand in hand with anti semitism. It's some 25 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: of the more you know, center left Jewish Americans. So 26 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: I think we're a little surprised to find out that 27 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: despite all of their talk about supporting DEI and inclusion 28 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: and you know, diversity is our strength and all that stuff, 29 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the left thinks of 30 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: them as just white and therefore they go into the 31 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: they go into that whole intersectionality high hierarchy with all 32 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: the other white people, and that means you're the bad 33 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: guys and a lot of these issues, you're treated as 34 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: the oppressor. You're treated as the bad person because that 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: is what left wing intersectionality demands. You don't hear the 36 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: term intersectionality a lot. I think maybe it was too 37 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: it's too vague. It doesn't serve the purpose for the left. 38 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: It gives it the veneer. It sounds like it's scientific 39 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: or pseudoscientific. It sounds like it's a serious term, but 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: it's really just everyone's a victim and everything is based 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: on skin color and gender identity and sexual orientation, and 42 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: it's just a question of finding out who's the most oppressed, right, 43 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's basically intersectionality. They don't use the term 44 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: as much anymore though, I think because it's too vague, 45 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't serve the purposes that they seek. But the anyway, 46 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: this was interesting. This was the main voice behind, or 47 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: I should say right behind the sixteen nineteen project, Nicole 48 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Hannah Jones. She weighed in on this. I just wanted 49 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: this is a flashback to the middle of December, December fourteenth. Amazing. 50 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: This controversy has been going on for weeks, weeks of this, 51 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: but here she is on the fourteenth of December saying 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: that this is about it's just about racism against Claudee 53 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: and gay play twenty four. 54 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: When you think about the fact that Harvard, this nation's 55 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: oldest university, had about a three hundred and seventy year 56 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: explicit racial quota of only hiring white men to be 57 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: the president, it's laughable to think that the first ever 58 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: black woman, following that unbroken line of white racial quotas, 59 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: is the one who's unqualified. I mean, this is kind 60 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: of the beauty of how racism works. If you are 61 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: black and you don't achieve. If you don't succeed at 62 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: the highest echelons, it's because you're lazy and you're not 63 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: smart enough. If you do achieve, and you do succeed, 64 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: and you do rise to the top of your profession, 65 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: it's because you didn't deserve it. So, as Tony Morrison said, 66 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: this is all really a distraction. Chris Rufo is not 67 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: a serious person. 68 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: I think that Claudie and Gay would have to disagree 69 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: right now about Chris Rufo and being a serious person. 70 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: Clearly a serious person. Clearly, let's let's take a step back. 71 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: Let's let's just put on our analysis hats for a 72 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: moment together. Here, if Rufos allegations of I know he's 73 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: very busy, right, I just reached out to him a 74 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: second ago, so we'll see. Maybe he'll join us in 75 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: progress here, just send him a text. But if Rufo's 76 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: allegations of plagiarism were false, don't you think they would 77 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: have come out right away just guns blazing, so to 78 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: speak about Oh my gosh, look at what Rufo's He's 79 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: a slandering. He's smearing the president of Harvard with these alligators. No, 80 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: they're all real because it's it's public record, it's stuff 81 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: that's out there. Anybody could access some of this because 82 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: it was published. I suppose. I guess she was a 83 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: grad star student at Harvard, and so you know, she 84 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: wrote these papers and you can still go see them, 85 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: you still go read them, so anyone could find it 86 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: and then find the other work. Include we had doctor 87 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: Carl swain On who says, yeah, she plagiarized my stuff. 88 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: Another black female academic who reached, you know, that the 89 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: pinnacle of her profession and then was increasingly pushed aside 90 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: because of her politics, but meaning that she was conservative, 91 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: meaning that she believed in the things that the people 92 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: listening to the show believe. But that's unacceptable. If you're 93 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: going to be a black academic in America who's going 94 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: to excel, you have to be left wing or else 95 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: you don't serve the purpose off the left, and therefore 96 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: you can't get into these institutions. And I remember my 97 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: my thesis advisor at Amherst and general academic advisor was 98 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: Professor Hadley Arcis, and he was moved. I can't remember 99 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: how exactly this happened, but he went to the building 100 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: where the deans were that's where his office was instead 101 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: of in the political science building, which is a very 102 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: nice building, because you know, his ideas about how the 103 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Constitution is a real thing that you can read. We're 104 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: too radical for the political science department, right, So I've 105 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: seen how insane these left wing campuses can can get 106 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: and can be. But this was one of the very 107 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: rare instances, I think, because the the issues here were 108 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: playing for anyone to see. It's not a differing accounts, 109 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: it's not. Oh but you know, this was what was 110 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: said in this conversation, or you know, this is a 111 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: here's what she published, here's what other people published before her. 112 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: She stole. That's it. I mean, it's very straightforward. What 113 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: was the oh, what was the phrase? They the euphemism man? 114 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: The euphemism they pulled on this one was was a 115 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: magnificent thing, wasn't it. It was insufficient citation. I can 116 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: just imagine if you're if you're a student at Harvard 117 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: or any other university for that matter, and you decide 118 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: that you're you're even caught plagiarizing, you just stand up 119 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: and say, excuse me, excuse me. It's not plagiers it's 120 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: insufficient citation. Thank you. That will be all. I will 121 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: not take any more questions. Yeah, that wouldn't work. That 122 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't work. About so one thing. Chris Ruffo is clearly 123 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: a serious person. I think that's that's funny that Nicole 124 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: Hanna Jones said that. But I would also ask, Okay, 125 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: they should bring Nicole Hannah Jones back on TV. Now 126 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure they will, but they should ask her this question. 127 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: So is doctor Gay qualified or not? Answer that question? 128 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: Now the fifty or sixty everybody knows the answer. But 129 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: I would really like to see her defenders explain because 130 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: they'd probably say, oh, yes, she's still qualified. Really, really, 131 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: what does the word qualify mean to the left? What 132 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: does the word merit mean to the left? 133 00:07:59,880 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: Know? 134 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: What is achievement? Well, they always went right there. It 135 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: was going to get rid of standardized task There is 136 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: want to get rid of what we could consider to 137 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: be objective metrics. And yet you sit here and you 138 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: say you're you're not allowed to question the qualifications of 139 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: a person who's clearly unqualified. That's the game, And this 140 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: is a I'm going to tell you this. I think 141 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: that part of this is a recognition at Harvard because 142 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: of its loss at the Supreme Court. Let's not forget, 143 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: Harvard cannot use race explicitly, in effectively a stealth quota 144 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: system to let academically underqualified Black, Latino and Native American 145 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: students into the school. It is unconstitutional. It is racial discrimination. 146 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: So now we'll see what the you know, forthcoming classes are, 147 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: you know, in in incoming classes, I should say, of 148 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: Harvard and these other universities are like. But the Supreme 149 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: Court has made it clear that this is not legitimate, 150 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: it is not lawful, it is wrong what these universities have, 151 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: all these elite universities have been doing. And so we're 152 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: in a different place now because there's also a legal 153 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: component in the background here. And it's one thing to 154 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: look at the the numbers for students who are applying. Clearly, 155 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: as we know, Asian American students were being were being 156 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, discriminated against. They were being discriminated against in 157 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: order to let in oppressed minorities. And so interesting isn't 158 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: it that that if you're Asian, you come to this country, 159 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: you're a Vietnamese immigrant, your parents don't even speak English, 160 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: they come to this country and you know, don't have 161 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, a dollar to their name when they arrive. 162 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: But you work really hard, and you do really well 163 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: in school, and your first immigrant, a first generation immigrant, 164 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: and you get a sixteen hundred the SAT at a 165 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: four point and you don't have any oppression though, So 166 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: you don't get to go to Harvard. Maybe you get 167 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: to go to another decent school, but you might not 168 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: even go to anther Lease School because there's a lot 169 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: of Asians with sixteen hundreds and four point zeros out there. 170 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of fact, a matter of statistics, 171 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: a matter of numbers. This is what came out in 172 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: the Harvard suit. This is the truth. I have friends 173 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: who have worked on the admissions boards of some of 174 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: the most elite schools in the country, and they will 175 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: never speak to me on the record about any of this, 176 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: of course, because to work there generally you're talking about 177 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: people that kind of buy into some of the lib stuff. 178 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: But you know, offhand in a social setting, they'll tell you, yeah, 179 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: of course, of course they explicitly discriminate. Of course they 180 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: let kids in from certain you know, who have certain 181 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: racial backgrounds that would never get into a million years otherwise. 182 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: And yet we're all supposed to pretend like, that's not 183 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: what's happening. I think people are fed up with that. 184 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: It's illegal, it's unethical. Ah, that's right. The Court's weighed 185 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: in on this, and I think that what we see 186 00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: here with the resignation of doctor Gay is uh, maybe 187 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: that turning point of perception that could change things going 188 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: forward where we're allowed to say, hold on a second, 189 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: why is it that three percent of the professors on 190 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: this campus that's actually high. It's probably more like one 191 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: percent of the professors on Ivy League campuses or Republican 192 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: one percent. How does that happen? Well, because only all 193 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: the smart people are Democrats. I mean that's they say 194 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 1: really stupid things in defense of this right. It's exclusion. 195 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: It's just like a country club, except the country club 196 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: instead of being run by people who are like explicitly racist, 197 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: Let's say it's a country club run by people who 198 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: are explicitly leftist, and they won't let other people into 199 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: the country club. I eat the university, that's all. That's 200 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: why we have the disparity we have in academia. That's 201 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: why we can't get any Republicans to get tenured professor 202 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: jobs into these places. And even if you are black 203 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: or Hispanic as a professor and exceptional. If you're not 204 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: willing to support things like advancing people based on skin color, 205 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, oppressed minorities based on skin color, you meaning 206 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: the black or Latino in this situation, professor or would 207 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: be professor, you don't get hired either, Like I said, 208 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: a leftist country club. They get to have a little 209 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: closed door meeting and decide who gets let into the club. 210 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: And they are totalitarian Marxists, so they think that they're 211 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: justified in hurting people and their careers and making it 212 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: harder for them to support their families, and not treating 213 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: merit as merit for purely ideological reasons. And now it's all, 214 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: isn't it great? We're seeing more, We're seeing the truth. Man. Uh, 215 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: it's a good day. It's a good day. I gotta 216 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: say I didn't I didn't think this would happen. But 217 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: the right thing is happening. So I'll take it. I'll 218 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: take that. I'll take the w Here also an update, 219 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: you we this all came about originally because of anti Semitism. 220 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: There's a Harvard president anti semitism, all of that, couple 221 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: of other university presidents as well, what's going on with 222 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: Israel and Hamas.

Although she's getting so big. I think she 228 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: weighs like fifteen pounds now, which to me, she's practice 229 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: like a wooly mammoth running around my apartment because she 230 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: was so little when we first got her. But remember 231 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: back in the day when your dad was taking photos 232 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: in video and it required a lot of work and 233 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: all these old systems, right, Well, if you're still holding 234 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: onto those old systems, videotapes, old hard copy photos, this 235 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: is the year to transfer them to digital files.

Welcome back team. 253 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: So, as I had mentioned to you, there has been 254 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: first off, the Israelis, the Israeli Defense Forces IDF are 255 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: pulling back some forces from Gaza. This is more or 256 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: less unfold on the timeline that I had told you 257 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: I had envised envisaged from the beginning of about a 258 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: six to eight week military operation. It's a little longer 259 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: than that, but it's a couple of months. They're still 260 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: going to continue, but it looks like they're going to 261 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: be shifting some resources, and you know this is going 262 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: to be more of a special operations driven fight than 263 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: a mass of military force. Situation. That's that's at least 264 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: what it looks like to me. Right now, you have 265 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: a senior leader of Hamas which just killed in Southern 266 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: Bay Route in an attack. This guy, I don't have 267 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: to name, it doesn't really matter, a bad guy. But 268 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: this shows you that this Israeli response to the horrific 269 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: events of October seventh is not going to be limited 270 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: in time and space to the fight in Gaza, and 271 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: that they will treat this and should treat this and 272 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: very much the same way that we treated the September 273 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: eleventh attacks. Where what did it take us? I'm trying 274 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: to remember what year did we get bin Lad? Was 275 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: twenty twelve? We got bin Lunden? Am I right on 276 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: that one? Is that right? Twenty eleven or twenty twelve? Right? 277 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: But obviously many years after September eleventh. So they are 278 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: going to hunt down the Hamas senior leadership that was 279 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: involved in this and capture or kill them, and that 280 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: is the right thing to do, and that is the 281 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: just thing to do. Some of you may have seen 282 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: I tried to not spend too much time reading about 283 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: things like this, but over the break I thought I 284 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: had an obligation to look into some of the details. 285 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: For anyone who has a feeling that what Israel is 286 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: doing in Gaza is somehow unjustified or is excessive, I 287 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: think if they are if they are forced to sit 288 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: down and read the first hand accounts of what those 289 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: hamas Barians did on the October seventh attacks, and the 290 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: viciousness and the hatred and the sadism that they were 291 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: all made a central part of the attack and its 292 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: planning and its execution. If a person can't see after 293 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: that that what Israel has done here is justified and 294 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: in fact necessary. In the state of Israel is obliged 295 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: to do what it is doing, I think they have 296 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: no moral compass whatsoever. They just have no understanding of 297 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: morality and the right to self defense in the world 298 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: that we live in.

But hey, man, make sure everyone understands the 326 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: main Secretary of State decision hasn't actually moved Trump from 327 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: the ballot. 328 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: There. 329 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: It's kind of tricky the language that's being used. She 330 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: has made the decision that Trump is ineligible. This is 331 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. So she has said he 332 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: is ineligible and therefore he will be taken off the 333 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: ballot comma if it stands. But at the bottom of 334 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: this is from the main dot gov Department of the 335 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: Secretary of State of Maine. Site says, given the compressed 336 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: time frame, the novel constitutional questions involved, the importance of 337 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: this case and impending ballot preparation deadlines, Secretary Bellows has 338 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: suspended the effect of her decision until the Superior Court 339 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: rules on any appeal or the time the appeal has expired. Okay, well, 340 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: this doesn't really change anything. It doesn't really mean anything, right, 341 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: She's just saying, oh, I have said that Trump is ineligible, 342 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: but we're not going to do anything about his eligibility 343 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: until the courts look at this and the courts decide. Well, yeah, 344 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: I mean the election is ten months away, right, so 345 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: and obviously they're going to challenge us in court. But 346 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: she's giving herself a little bit of this this out 347 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: because she's probably going to be overturned in the Maine 348 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: State Superior Court. And if she's not, then it's going 349 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: to go to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court 350 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: is going to have to expedite review of all this stuff. 351 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: It's going to have to weigh in. And I wonder 352 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: if any other states are going to plan and are 353 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: going to do this. Maybe they just realize it as 354 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: a political ploy and so it turns into a oh yeah, 355 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing it also, Secretary of State of California, New York, 356 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: all these different places. I mean, New York's already busy 357 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: trying to use the law to destroy Trump in nefarious ways. 358 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: They had the civil trial of Trump, they got the 359 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: criminal trial of Trump in New York City. And I 360 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: got to tell you one thing that I see on 361 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: all this is still I can't believe that the people 362 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: pushing all of this stuff, meaning the legal stuff against Trump, 363 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: the criminal indictments and now these ballot removal measures, I can't. 364 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that they believe that this is the 365 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: direction it would be going in, meaning that Trump support 366 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: would just keep going up and up, and not just 367 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: among Republicans, independence swing voters in the Swing States, this 368 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: is showing young voters twenty five to thirty five are 369 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: showing a move toward Trump that you know, for this 370 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: to be a mirage, for this to be some kind 371 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: of conspiracy eight D chess. You know they're not that clever, 372 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: They're not. All these different entities and organizations can't be 373 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: manufacturing this. The poll numbers, the sentimental it's not possible. 374 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: It's real. I'm not saying it won't change. I'm not 375 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: saying there can't be a shift here. Clearly Democrats are 376 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: banking on that. But the phenomenon that we are all 377 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: experiencing in this country right now of the get trumpet 378 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: all costs approach backfiring.

Wendy on Long Island. 426 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 5: What's going on, Wendy, I just wanted to comment on 427 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 5: the Israel Hamas situation. You should be surprised about Israel's 428 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 5: reaction to tracking down every last Hamas leader and person 429 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 5: that did this to Israel, just like they did in 430 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 5: the Munich the Olympics, and the people in Gaza should 431 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 5: be very happy that the Israelis are not taking a 432 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 5: more biblical response. Remember what happened in the story of 433 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 5: Data in the Bible. So if anybody really cared about 434 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 5: what was happening to the people in Gaza, they would 435 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 5: call for total surrender of Hamas. But the protest is 436 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 5: here don't care. The country leaders in our planet Earth 437 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 5: don't care, and I don't even think that people in 438 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 5: Gaza care. So I say, let's surrender. Let's get rid 439 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 5: of them, because there's no way that they're staying. 440 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: Wait, let's who should surrender. 441 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 5: The Hamas?

There's no ceasefire. 442 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 5: We're not having a ceasefire. 443 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: No, you're saying let's go until they You just you 444 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: said let's surrender. I thought you meant you're okay. 445 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no, no, no, no no. The world leaders, 446 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 5: the protesters here in the United States, and the people 447 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 5: in Gaza themselves should be calling for Hamas to surrend. 448 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, totally no. Look, I thank you, thank 449 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: you for calling in. I completely agree with that. If 450 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: Amas cared at all about civilian casualties, they would have well, 451 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: first of all, they wouldn't have engaged in the mass 452 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: casualty attack against civilians where they were raping women and 453 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: murdering babies and doing so intentionally to be as sadistic 454 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: and vile and evil as possible.

But for those 487 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: of us who understand these realities and see what is 488 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: really going on, I think I think it's quite clear. 489 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: I think there's no I don't see this at all 490 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: as a as a two sides issue. I don't think 491 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: of this as oh, they you know, Hamas and Israel. 492 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: They both have these challenges and problems. Israel has to 493 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: do here what it has to do, and it's very clear, 494 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: and I couldn't support them in this mission more than 495 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: I currently do. Oh and not a peep, thank you? 496 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: Produce rally about all the Christians slaughtered in Nigeria? Who 497 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: did that slaughtering? Boko Haram? What is Bocoharama ji hottest 498 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: terror group? What does bocoharam want? The creation of a 499 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: caliphate in Nigeria. I've been to this part of the world, folks, 500 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: I know what they're up to. I understand this group 501 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: and Boco Hoam. If it weren't for ISIS would have 502 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: been for a number of years the deadliest terror group 503 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: in the world. They send suicide bombs in to blow 504 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: themselves up in Christian churches, in Catholic churches full of women, 505 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: children that don't care. And how much concern have you 506 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: seen about this in the media? Not a lot? Just 507 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: wonder why that is all right? Look, you've heard the 508 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: phrase the greatest threat maybe the enemy within versus the 509 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: enemy you think is coming at you. Well, at least 510 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: one former Wall Street insider thinks we'll be encountering serious 511 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: challenges this year with the potential collapse of the US dollar. 512 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: You got to remember that our US dollar has been 513 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: the day factor world currency for dozens and dozens of 514 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: nations around the world for decades now. But just less 515 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: than a week ago, two nations Iran and Russia announced 516 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: they would trade with one another using their own currencies 517 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: and not our dollar. Will more nations follow, Look, it's 518 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: definitely possible.

Look, people keep asking me for 542 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: thank you', asking me for predictions. You know who's gonna 543 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: win this, or how's this gonna go, or how's this 544 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: trial going to go? And I really tell you, I 545 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: got to approach this with a degree of humility because 546 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: if I had told you, I mean, this was one 547 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: of my one of my main thoughts, recurring thoughts at 548 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty three going to twenty twenty four. 549 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: If I had told you that this is where we 550 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: would be exactly a year ago, if I had said 551 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: that there would be four criminal indictments against Donald Trump, 552 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump would surge far ahead of all of 553 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: his Republican competitors, and all the polls in advance of Iowa. 554 00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: I know, not a vote has been cast. Yeah, we'll 555 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: talk more about Iowa tomorrow. But that all of this 556 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: would happen, Yeah, you would have thought I was kind 557 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: of nuts, right, I mean that that you would have 558 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: four criminal indictments, two states have moved in one case 559 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: it's a judge, another case it's a state secretary of 560 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: state who's now kind of deferring to the judges, but 561 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: started the process of removing Trump from the ballot. So 562 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 1: this is all just a way of saying I think that, 563 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: Oh god, am I going to say be you know, 564 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: expect the unexpected. I don't know. I was trying to 565 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: avoid that. We just got hit by a cliche bus. 566 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the cliche bus has run over us here 567 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: on the show. Ah, we'll be okay. But that really 568 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: is where all this is going, you know. For me, 569 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: I kept asking you the question, what's the plan that 570 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats have? What are they going to do? And 571 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: they can't just walk into this thinking that Joe Biden's 572 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: to defeat Donald Trump without a whole lot of help, right, 573 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: You remember I love the movie Gladiator. I agree with 574 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: Clay's wife, and it's one of my all time favorites. 575 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: I believe it's Clay's wife's favorite movie, Lara's favorite movie 576 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: of all time. I would have it top five, maybe 577 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 1: even top three for me. But remember there's a scene 578 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: at the end where commodists who did historically and he 579 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: was the son of Marcus Aurelius, So Marcus Aurelius, great 580 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: Stoic thinker, had some problems as with data apparently communists, 581 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: was a degenerate and and in a whole bunch of ways. 582 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: But you don't he did actually get into the the Colisseum, 583 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: not to go against Maximus, but anyway, but before they 584 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: want to make it look like there's a real fight, 585 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: but before they put the armor on Maximus, he gets stabbed. 586 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: I think it stabs him kind of in the in 587 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: the kidneys or kind of in that area, so that 588 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: he's basically bleeding out in real time, but the armor 589 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: is covering it up. The Democrats won an election that 590 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: pol speaking feels like that, like they can't win an 591 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: election without pulling a commodists and doing something really dastardly, 592 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: really some level of cheating. And I really believe that 593 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: at this point, because look what they're doing. If they 594 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 1: didn't believe that, why wouldn't they just let the election 595 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: play out? Brad in win Winston Salem, North Carolina. What's 596 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: going on? Brad? 597 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 6: Hey, thanks for taking a call, long time listener, first 598 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 6: time getting through. 599 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: Thanks so much. 600 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 3: Man. 601 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 6: Yeah, fifteen years ago I did went to Ukraine, met 602 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 6: my fiance, brought her back to the fiance visa and 603 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 6: did a green card.
