1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: We saw thousands of pro life Americans gather in our 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: nation's capital for the annual March for Life. This comes 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: as we are approaching the anniversary of Rovers Wade, and 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: we know that Democrats are going to make abortion a 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: big issue heading into the presidential election. We saw them 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: do it successfully to some degree in the midterm elections. 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: So we have to figure out a way as Republicans 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: to go on the offense to talk about being pro 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: life proudly. I want you to take a listen to 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: this interview. 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: Why do you not see rape and incest as areas 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: for potential carve outs even if you are. 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 3: Pro life first? 14 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 4: I think both of those instances are horrifying, and fortunately 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 4: they're extremely rare. It happens, and anytime it happens, it's horrifying. 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 3: It's a tragedy. 17 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 4: But I personally and honestly and deeply believe that all 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 4: human life is worthy of protection, irrespective of the circumstances 19 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 4: in which that human life was created. So what we're 20 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 4: faith in it so well, they can't say that it 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 4: will be human life, what would it become? 22 00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 3: Then you're trying to. 23 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: Become potential of it when it is an actual human being. 24 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: I'm not saying what my position is on it that 25 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 2: I am also a Catholic. 26 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 3: What I'm telling you is. 27 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 4: I can tell you this, No, I can tell you this, 28 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: that every single one of us started at that same stage. 29 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 4: That it can't become anything other than a human. But 30 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 4: it is about and that scien. It's neither up to 31 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 4: you nor I know any politicians to decide that we're 32 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 4: going to allow this life to move forward. 33 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 3: In this life, not to. 34 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: That Senator Mark Rubio from years ago in an interview 35 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: with CNN. I think it's one of the best interviews 36 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: I've heard to date of someone proudly standing for their 37 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: pro life views. So we're going to have Senator Mark 38 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: Rubio on the show today to talk to him about 39 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: how should Republicans message on this issue, What should the 40 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: message be heading into the presidential election. We're also going 41 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: to get his take on all things foreign policy. As 42 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: instability continues to increase in the Middle East, particularly as 43 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: we see Pakistan and Iran conducting strikes on each other, 44 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: Why are they doing that? How concerned should you be? 45 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: We'll also talk about China, Iran, and Russia growing closer 46 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: under President Biden. What does that mean for our future 47 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: in the future of the world. He recently endorsed President Trump, 48 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: so we'll talk to him about why he decided to 49 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: do that and what he's looking for this presidential election. 50 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: So all of that and so much more with Senator 51 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: Mark Rubio from my home state of Florida. Stay tuned. 52 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: Well. 53 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: Senator Mark Rubio, it's awesome to have you on the show, 54 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: particularly as a well I've been in Florida for I 55 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: guess three and a half years, so a newer Florida, 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: and so it's great to have my home state senator 57 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: on the show. So appreciate you making the time. 58 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: I'm glad to do it. 59 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: We were talking before we got started about how I've 60 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: gotten really soft with the weather. We've we've had a 61 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: cold front here in Miami and you know, it's like 62 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: sixty degrees now, I put a turtleneck on, so I. 63 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 4: Know, I know it's you know, every now and then 64 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 4: we'll get like one of these weird things that come 65 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 4: down and I'll get to like the twenties or the thirties, 66 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 4: but it's very rare, but you will, yeah, fifty or whatever. 67 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 4: It's you know, people start like bringing out for coats 68 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 4: and you know, thermal underwear and all that kind of stuff. 69 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: It isn't cold until the iguanas. 70 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen that phenomena yet, but 71 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 4: at a certain temperature, like iguanas fall out of the 72 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 4: trees because they're cold. 73 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 3: Blooded and they can't regulate. And I don't know, have you 74 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: seen that yet. 75 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I read an article and it said that, I 76 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: guess there's been stories where people have collected them and 77 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: like put them in their cars and then they've woken 78 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: up and like attacked or something. 79 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: So they wake up. 80 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, So leave the iguanas alone. Important lesson. All right, Well, 81 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: well we'll get into the bigger news, you know, outside 82 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: of an iguana's you know center. We're coming up on 83 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: the anniversary of Roe versus Wade. You know, I rewatched 84 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: your CNN interview on abortion. I think it was from 85 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: like eight years ago before this morning, you know, before 86 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: interviewing you. I think it was one of the best 87 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: interviews I've seen from a Republican to date on the issue. 88 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: Why why do you think Republicans struggle so much on 89 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: talking about pro life and talking about this issue? 90 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: Well, I think in general, anytime you're on defense, you're losing, 91 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 4: and a lot of times, you know, I always go 92 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 4: to people and say, all right, well. 93 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: There's two things that we need to point to. 94 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: The first is that if you don't believe that, if 95 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 4: you's believe that abortion should be legal, then what restrictions 96 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 4: would you agree to? No one ever asked that question. 97 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 4: The media doesn't ask that question, and most Democrats are 98 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: never asked a question of what restrictions would you support? 99 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 4: Because they love to talk about total ban, six week bands, 100 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 4: fifteen week bands. What they won't tell you is that 101 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: in order to get the endorsement of all of these 102 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 4: pro abortion groups, you have to basically be for abortion 103 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 4: at any time, for any reason, paid for by taxpayers. 104 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: I mean that in essence is the position of these groups. 105 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: And you can't get the endorsement of any of these 106 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 4: probortion groups if you don't say that stuff. 107 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 3: And no one ever. 108 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: Challenges these people on that, will they at least agree 109 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 4: on a restriction of some kind because the overwhelming majority 110 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: of Americans, even those who say the support abortion rights, 111 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 4: will say, but there's got there's some right you can't 112 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 4: do it like the day before the do date or 113 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 4: eight months or what have you. 114 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: So, I think the first part about it is that, 115 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: and I think the second challenge. 116 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 4: That we face is, Look, this is not about passing 117 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: judgment on anyone. 118 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: This is not about trying to impose anything on anyone. 119 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 4: This is a pretty straightforward choice. And that is we've 120 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: got a complicated issue here. You have, oftentimes in a 121 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 4: very difficult circumstances that a woman is facing, and then 122 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 4: you've got the fundamental right to live, and you've got 123 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 4: to balance and decide, Okay, when these two things are 124 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: in conflict, which one of these two rights wins out. 125 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: And I don't have any shame in saying that, I 126 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 4: think the right to live needs to win out. Now, 127 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: in addition to that, I think we have to understand 128 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 4: that when it comes to abortion, the pro choice people 129 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 4: are actually not pro choice because what they are basically 130 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: arguing is that for most people, abortion is the only 131 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 4: choice that they're presented, and oftentimes by making it look 132 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 4: like or making it sound like, or making it, you know, 133 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 4: creating the scenario where a child to somehow a burden, 134 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 4: somehow a terrible thing that's happening. And so I do 135 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: think those of us who are pro life, it's incumbent 136 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 4: upon us to say, not only do we think you 137 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: have a right to choose not to have an abortion, 138 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 4: but we need to recognize that no child should ever 139 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 4: be considered a burden, should be considered a bad situation, 140 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 4: and we need to be supportive of people who find 141 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 4: themselves in those circumstances. You know, what can we do 142 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 4: to ensure that these men that are fathering children are 143 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 4: living up to their responsibility on child support and not 144 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: just taking off? You know, what are we doing if 145 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 4: a young woman is in college and wants to finish 146 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: your schooling? 147 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: To be supportive. 148 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: We need to be supportive of people not just when 149 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: they decide not to have an abortion, but also all 150 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 4: the things that come with it. 151 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I loved how, you know, because he 152 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: was basically saying arguing about when life begins and you're like, well, 153 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: what do you think it turns into a cat? You know, 154 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: it's like it seems like such common sense, yet we 155 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: have found ourselves in this strange, you know, conversation about 156 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: what is a life? And you know, it used to 157 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: be safe, legal and rare, and now it's like up 158 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: until the moment of birth, maybe even you know, it's like, 159 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: how did we get here? You know, how did the 160 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: left get here? 161 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: More specifically, Well, I think part of it too is 162 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 5: that in order to justify something like this, you have 163 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 5: to It's what all atrocities and terrible things are based on, 164 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 5: and that is dehumanization, right. 165 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: You have to convince people that the life and who's 166 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 4: being impacted is that actually not human or not fully human? 167 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 4: And so I think that's the argument that's used. 168 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: By a lot of these geops. 169 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: So that's not really a human being, that's just a 170 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 4: clump of cells, that's an embryo, that's a fetus, but 171 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: it's not a human being. And I think the point 172 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: I was making is that's the only thing that that 173 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: can ultimately become. And then their argument as well, but 174 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 4: they can't survive on their own. And so while there 175 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: are a lot of people who are outside the womb 176 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 4: that could not survive on their own. 177 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 3: Infants cannot survive on their own, Many. 178 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 4: People who unfortunately face disabilities and other serious setbacks, cannot 179 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: survive on their own without helping assistance. Are they less 180 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: than alive? Are we prepared to say that's not a life? 181 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 4: So there's a huge slippery slope there as well. But 182 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: ultimately it comes down to in order to justify something 183 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: like this, you have to be able to argue that 184 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: that's not human life, and that's something that needs to 185 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: be called out as well. That's exactly what it is, 186 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: a development, no matter what stage of development they're in. Look, 187 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 4: it's a tough issue. I get it, because I mean, 188 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 4: the circumstances oftentimes that are faced by people are very 189 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 4: difficult ones. You shouldn't pretend that these are easy choices, 190 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: but we have to get people real choices, including the 191 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: choice of carrying a child without having seem or feel 192 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 4: like a burden, which is what oftentimes people are being 193 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: told that this is going to be an enormous burden, 194 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 4: it's going to ruin your life, and we need to 195 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 4: change that dynamic. 196 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: You know, I think you really nailed it about the dehumanization, 197 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: which is why they call it a clump of cells. 198 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: If you sort of detached the human aspect of it, 199 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: then it's easier to go through with one you know, yeah, 200 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: oh absolutely. You know Democrats have obviously made this a 201 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: big issue during the midterms. You know, they did that 202 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: with the leak of the Dobbs opinion as well. Draft 203 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: as well as the Supreme Court's decision really galvanized young 204 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: people women to turn out. We're already seeing Democrats gear 205 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: up on this issue. You know. They launched a website 206 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: targeting Republicans, you know, heading into Row versus Wade anniversary. 207 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: They've also been successful in getting ballot measures here in Florida. 208 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: It'll be on the ballot in twenty twenty four. They 209 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: were successful in Ohio last November. How do you think 210 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: this issue will shape the presidential election? 211 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. 212 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 4: To me, it's a tough one to analyze politically because 213 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 4: I've never viewed this as a political issue. 214 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 3: I said this before, and I really believe it. 215 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: I think it's such a fundamental core issue that I'd 216 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 4: rather be right on abortion and lose than be wrong 217 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: on it and win, because I just think it's that 218 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 4: fundamental of an issue in terms of protecting human life 219 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 4: and where it's going to lead us as a society. 220 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 3: Ultimately. 221 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 4: I think it's clear that there are a lot of 222 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 4: people that are uncomfortable with government telling them what to do. 223 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 4: In general, they were uncomfortable when government was telling them 224 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 4: what to do to the pandemic, and in a situation 225 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: like this, they're uncomfortable as well. But when you're playing defense, 226 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 4: when you're allowing your opponents to portray this as people 227 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 4: wanting to tell people what to do with their bodies, 228 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 4: that's not the way I view it. I do not 229 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 4: go into the saying, how can I control the decisions 230 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 4: people make, women make, and so forth about pregnancies. What 231 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: I go into the saying is we have an obligation 232 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 4: to protect human life. I view it from the lens 233 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 4: and the perspective of the unborn human being, not the 234 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 4: perspective of controlling people. So I think that part of 235 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 4: the dynamic is explaining to people that if they don't 236 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 4: want a six week man or they don't want a 237 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 4: fifteen week or twenty one or whatever it is, what 238 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 4: restrictions would they support, Because they will never tell you. 239 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: What restrictions they support. They never will say it. 240 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 4: And there's a reason why, and that is that the 241 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 4: official position of the left, and they're never called out 242 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: on it, is abortion on demand for any reason, and 243 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 4: frank and paid for by taxpayers. 244 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break more with Center or 245 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: Reveal on the other side before we move on. Should 246 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: Republicans have a unified message on this, and if so, 247 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: what should it be. 248 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if something like this you can 249 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: have a unified mession. 250 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: The truth of the matter is that you have people 251 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 4: that have different This is not an issue that's from 252 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 4: a political standpoint black and white. 253 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 3: There are people that are in favor of a fifteen. 254 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: Week ban or twenty one week or whatever it may be, 255 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 4: or a band but with exceptions. So there's a wide 256 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 4: variety of flavors here and viewpoints. And if you want 257 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: to be a majority party of people that agree on 258 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 4: a bunch of stuff but maybe have some differences of 259 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 4: opinion as to how far these restrictions should go, then 260 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 4: you've got to accommodate that. 261 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 3: So don't know if we'll ever have a unified message. 262 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 4: What I think we should be unified in is to 263 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 4: unapologetically say, ultimately, look, abortion is not a good thing. 264 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 4: Whether your pro life or protrays, we should agree that 265 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 4: abortions are not therapeutic, they are not a good thing. 266 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: They are not a cost for celebration, and irrespective of 267 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 4: how you view it, we should all recognize that it 268 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 4: is a tragic thing. And I think we should also 269 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 4: recognize that we're talking about here is the choice between 270 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 4: protecting an unborn human life and the right of people 271 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 4: of women to control what happens with their body. And 272 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 4: that's the choice we're trying to make here and to 273 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 4: balance that, and that I think is something. And the 274 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 4: third thing we should be unified in is, no matter 275 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 4: how you feel about abortion specific abortion restrictions, there has 276 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 4: to be some restrict there has to be some limitation. Right, 277 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 4: We're not otherwise we're dealing with in fanticide. What is 278 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 4: that limitation? We should all be unified in at least 279 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 4: demanding that those who are against us detail what it 280 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 4: is they would support as far as the limitation. And 281 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: we don't do that enough. We never challenge or point 282 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 4: to the media and say, you know, all answer your 283 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 4: questions on this when you ask them what they're what 284 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 4: they're in favor of, what restriction they would support, because 285 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 4: they won't support any restriction. 286 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 3: They will never tell you what restriction they're for. 287 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: You know, Senator, I want to move on to foreign policy. 288 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: I know it's a you know, you're very passionate about it, 289 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: and I want to we want to hear from you 290 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: on a bunch of these different issues. You know, turning 291 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: to the war in the Middle East. You know, President 292 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: Biden is redesignated or is going to redesignate Yemen's or 293 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: on back who THEES is a terrorist group? He removed 294 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: them three years ago from the Foreign Terrorist Organization's list. 295 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: Why did he do that in the first place, and 296 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: what does that tell you about this administration's foreign policy. 297 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 4: Well, there's a line of thinking in American politics that 298 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: was clear in the Obama years. I think there's holdovers 299 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: of that in the Biden years as well, and generally 300 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: along the West, and that is that America is generally 301 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 4: always wrong. 302 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 3: America is bad. 303 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: America is a source of problems in the world, and 304 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 4: so we need to be apologetic about it, and we 305 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 4: need to be accommodating. And so this idea that somehow, 306 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 4: you know, if we're just nicer, if we would just 307 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 4: admit that we've made mistakes, if we would just try 308 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 4: to create space and accommodate enemies and people who have 309 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 4: fundamentally different views of what they want the world to 310 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 4: look like, that they're going to like us more and 311 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: they're going to behave better And I think that was 312 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 4: part of the and I think the other part of it, 313 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 4: frankly is the Biden administration went in with a very 314 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 4: clear mandate that is, whatever Trump was for, we need 315 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 4: to be against. Even if it made sense if he 316 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 4: did it, we have to be the opposite of it. 317 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 4: So I think it really begins with that. And so 318 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 4: they've made these decisions. It's project weakness and so, but 319 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 4: we live in the real world, not governed by people 320 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 4: that have these sort of guilt trips, but rather by 321 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 4: people that are interested in that are focused on their 322 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 4: national interest and ambitions, and they're going to act in 323 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 4: their national interests and in furtherance of their ambitions, whether 324 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 4: it's the Hussies or Iran, North Korea, or Vladimir Putin 325 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 4: and especially the Chinese. 326 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: They don't care about all this other stuff. 327 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 4: They're not interested, and they don't care about public opinion 328 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 4: or being popular at Davos. And what they care about 329 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 4: is what is in the interest of our country or 330 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 4: our movement, and we're going to do whatever it takes 331 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 4: to further that. 332 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: And so we hit that reality. And so, yeah, the 333 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: whusis this is basically a band. 334 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: Of pirates who now have pretty sophisticated weapons provided to 335 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 4: them by Iran, and they now have the ability to 336 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 4: target commercial shipping, which poses the risk now of inflating 337 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 4: prices all over the world and disrupting the flow of 338 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: energy and the like. And it's interesting, you know, we 339 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: are conducting military operations against the who's these because they're 340 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 4: threatened to blow up oil tankers. But I thought the 341 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: Biden administration said we don't really need oil anymore. 342 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 3: We should now rely on renewables. 343 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: So, you know, I don't know why they are basically 344 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 4: protecting sources of global energy that they say are bad 345 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 4: for the world and that we don't need any more of. 346 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 4: So it just points to the hypocrisy of they know 347 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 4: we need more energy. That's why that's one of the 348 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 4: reasons why we're involved in protecting those shipping lengths, because 349 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 4: of what it would mean to world energy prices. But 350 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 4: I think this projection of weakness is an invitation for aggression. 351 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 4: It always has been. That's human nature. That's been true 352 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 4: throughout the fifty five hundred years of recorded history. And 353 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: then we're seeing it again now. 354 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: Well, you know, and we're seeing a lot of aggression 355 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. I mean, we've got Israel rightfully 356 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: waging a war against hamas after you know, those atrocities, 357 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: the terror attacks. Now we've got Pakistan at Iran conducting 358 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: strikes on each other in an unprecedented way. Why is 359 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: that happening and what are you watching for between those 360 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: two countries and what are the concerns that this could 361 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: spill out to a broader regional war. 362 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 4: Well, that's going to be a long It's kind of complicated. 363 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 4: First of all, it is ironic. You know that Iran 364 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: had an attack conducted inside of Iran out of ceremony, 365 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: to a remembrance of the criminal solomony, and it was 366 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 4: conducted by ISIS. 367 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: So now Iran is. 368 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 4: Striking ISIS inside of Syria or Iraq and also in 369 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 4: places where they might be hiding out in Pakistan. 370 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: So we are all to enemies of ISIS, you know. 371 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: And we have troops a. 372 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 4: Small number that remain in Iraq and in Syria to 373 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 4: prevent a resurgence of ISIS. 374 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,479 Speaker 3: But the groups that are on supports. 375 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 4: In those countries are attacking those troops that are there 376 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 4: attacking ISIS, while ISIS is attacking Iran, and Iran is 377 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 4: attacking ISIS back. So it is a complicated mess of 378 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 4: a situation in our hands. And the other thing that 379 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 4: I think is really eventful this week is a bunch 380 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 4: of people on the left going crazy because Nanyahu said, oh, we're. 381 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 3: Not going to have a Palestinian state after this is over. 382 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: Look in a perfect world, in an ideal world, there 383 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 4: would be an accommodation of some sort. I think that 384 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 4: was and it's been something Israel's attempted multiple times. Here's 385 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 4: the reality. Who would govern a Palestinian state? Because right now, 386 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: the two groups that claim to speak for Palestinians, the 387 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 4: Palestinian authority in Juday and Samaria and Hamas and Godza, 388 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 4: are both groups that teach little children that Jews are 389 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 4: evil and that killing them is glorious. And in the 390 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: case of Hamas, we've just seen the terrorist attacks they 391 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 4: can inducted. So how could any nation possibly be asked 392 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: to endorse the creation of a neighboring state that will 393 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 4: be governed by people who want to kill them as 394 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 4: their open stated goal. That is an unrealistic expectation. 395 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: Now. 396 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 4: Maybe one hundred years from now, maybe fifty years from now, 397 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 4: the conditions. 398 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 3: Will be different, but right now it is unrealistic. 399 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 4: Frankly, it is reckless to talk about turning over territory 400 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 4: and standing up a nation state governed by people that 401 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 4: want to kill you. No nation on earth would do that. 402 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 4: And so I don't know what's so controversial about Nanya 403 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 4: who's saying that, as far as the broader conflict is concerned, yeah, it. 404 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: Could spire pretty quickly. 405 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 4: And part of it is there is no deterrence that 406 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 4: the Iranians are not in any way worried, because even 407 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 4: as Joe Biden is responding by some of these missile 408 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: attacks against these Iranian backed groups, really Iranian agents who 409 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 4: are attacking the US, we. 410 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: Still have people trying to cut a deal with Iran. 411 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 4: We still have people trying to meet with them and 412 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 4: talk to them about how can we do a deal 413 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 4: and bring back the. 414 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 3: Obama's Iran deal. 415 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 4: So I think they view this as this is a 416 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 4: country so desperate for peace that we can basically go 417 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 4: as far as we want and not really face consequences 418 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 4: because they're so desperate to cut a deal here. And 419 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 4: so I think their version of what the red line 420 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 4: is is much further than what most Americans think it is. 421 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 4: And the threat here is we get sucked into another 422 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: regional conflict even though we don't want one, and. 423 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 3: That's the reality. 424 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 4: We now face two global wars, both of which are 425 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 4: putting strain on our country, and the threat of a 426 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 4: third one potentially with Taiwan and China. So it's it's 427 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 4: a complicated time, but the projectional weakness from this administration 428 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: has definitely contributed. 429 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: To it well. And one thing that's concerning is, you know, 430 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: there's a morning Console poll that saw the ar show 431 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: that support for Israel globally has dropped pretty significantly. We 432 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: know that there's politics in play here, you know, a 433 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: very divided Democrat party on this issue. We're seeing pro 434 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: Palestinian rallies in the United States, which you know are 435 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: really pro Homas rallies, if you know, you want to 436 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: be honest. The rise of anti Semitism, this hatred of 437 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: the United States as well. You know, how do we 438 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: get to this point where there are so many people 439 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 1: on the left and you know, that hate the United States, 440 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: that hate Israel, that you know, hate things that are righteous. 441 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 442 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 4: I think there's three things happening that we need to 443 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 4: point to. The first is anti Semitism. It is an 444 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 4: ancient poison. It affects a lot of societies, and Israel 445 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 4: is a Jewish state, and so first and foremost, I 446 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 4: think that underlines a lot of this. I think the 447 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 4: second is anti Western in essence. Israel is a Western culture, culture, 448 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 4: and country or democracy, and so I think there's this 449 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 4: idea that anything that's Western is evil and bad and 450 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 4: all of this third supported. 451 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 3: By a global media, global elites, global. 452 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 4: Corporate entities, international organisms who are all aligned in the 453 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 4: narrative right, and the narrative is, yes, it is terrible 454 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 4: what happened to the Israelis, but they kind of deserved it, 455 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 4: right because they've been killing Palestine's for a long time, 456 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 4: and what they're doing now is way overboard, It goes 457 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 4: way too far, what. 458 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: They're doing now. 459 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 4: These are the same people, by the way, that don't 460 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 4: dare speak a word about the fact that the Chinese 461 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 4: take Wiger Muslims and put them in work camps and 462 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 4: concentration camps and committing genocide. 463 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: They don't. There's no talk of that. There's no talk 464 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 3: of the horrible. 465 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 4: Atrocities that are committed by the Iranian regime or anybody else, 466 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 4: very little discussion about it. So I think we need 467 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 4: to recognize that there is this anti Semitic, anti Western 468 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 4: movement in the world that finds its home in the 469 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 4: Marxist left, and that frankly, you know our fellow travelers 470 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 4: on this stuff. It's not a surprise that these anti 471 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 4: Western elements that have been telling people forever America is 472 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 4: evil because Europeans in the Western culture is evil and 473 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 4: are the same ones that are now out there, you know, 474 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 4: fomenting this pro Hamas anti Israel position in our domestic politics. 475 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: Quick break, have so much more to ask, Senator Rubio. 476 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: You had mentioned Taiwan and China. You know, one thing 477 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: that we've seen happen under this administration is China, Iran, 478 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: and Russia have all grown closer under Biden's watch. You 479 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: know what does that mean for our future as a 480 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: country and also for the future of the world. 481 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's probably. 482 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: The single biggest geopolitical development of the last two or 483 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: three years, and that is this. 484 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 3: Growing It's not an alliance like a NATO. 485 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 4: It is a confederation of countries who have different specific 486 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: ambitions but share a common goal, and that is that 487 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 4: they want the world to a world in which America 488 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 4: and its allies are less influential and they are more influential. 489 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: China obviously is the head of that, but the Russians 490 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 4: have folded in underneath it, the North Koreans have seen 491 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: benefiting it, the Iranians. 492 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 3: As well, and a host of other countries. 493 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 4: Some you know, to varying degrees, who would want to 494 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 4: see a world that is less in which America and 495 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 4: our allies are less relevant, less powerful, less influential, and 496 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 4: they have more influence and more power. And that's the 497 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 4: movement that we now see and developing, and so under Biden, 498 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 4: they see the perfect opportunity, right because they see someone 499 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 4: who projects weakness, both personally and also in our decisions 500 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: we're making. You know, when you are out there basically 501 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 4: on your knees begging to do a deal with Iran, 502 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 4: you're projecting weakness. 503 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: You're projecting the desperate desire to accommodate them at any costs. 504 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 4: And for people who have tyrannical views that, you know, 505 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 4: it's so hard for us because we have been raised 506 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 4: I think that anyone can sit down and work anything out. 507 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 4: If you just talk through it, we can work anything out. 508 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: That we have forgotten a fundamental lesson in history is 509 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 4: that sometimes you can't work things out. You know, sometimes 510 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 4: whether it was Napoleon, whether it was Hitler, whether it 511 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 4: was Ussolini in North Africa, whether throughout history, there's the 512 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 4: reality that there are ambition, national ambitions, and national interests, 513 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 4: and that the leaders of those societies, those cultures, in 514 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 4: those countries will pursue them and there is no accommodation 515 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 4: with them. And so the only language they understand is 516 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 4: deterrence and strength. And it isn't just the threat of war. 517 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 4: It is the commitment, you know, the attitudinal approach to it. 518 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 4: It's one of the things that I think really helped Trump. 519 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: For all the criticism we used to get, I think 520 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: there was a perception that we don't know what this 521 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 4: guy's going to do, but it's not good for us. 522 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 3: I promise you I can tell you this. When Solomon 523 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: he was. 524 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: Struck, it had the Iranians complained, they threatened, they did 525 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 4: their press conferences, they launched a few rockets. But you know, 526 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 4: the next guy, nobody knows who the next guy, and 527 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 4: nobody he's the next leader of the IRGC is not 528 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 4: nearly as famous. You know why, because he didn't want 529 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: to be identified as the next leader. 530 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: Could be him. 531 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 4: It influenced their actions because they honestly believed that there 532 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 4: was somebody in the presidency who might actually do things, 533 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 4: not just do some press conference and talk about international norms. 534 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 4: So you know that I think has been a real 535 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 4: big problem here is that Biden projects weakness, both in 536 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 4: his actions and personally, and that's always dangerous for a 537 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 4: country like ours. 538 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate your mentioning, you know, us being kind 539 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: of naive and the way we perceive the rest of 540 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: the world. I've interviewed Sean Parnell on here, you know, 541 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: former Army ranger, American hero, and he said, even our friends, 542 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, we're behaving in like in medieval ways in 543 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: afghan you know. So it's like, you know, we kind 544 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: of are a little bit naive sometimes in thinking that 545 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: everyone just you know, we can just work it out, 546 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: or we can just give them money or whatever, and 547 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: it's all going to be okay. You know, you mentioned 548 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: Trump and foreign policy. I mean, he really, honestly probably 549 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: was one of the better, if not one of the best, 550 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: foreign policy presidents we've had. You've endorsed him, is that 551 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: one of the reasons? And and what are you looking 552 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: at heading into twenty twenty four? 553 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 4: You know, I don't remember the last time that the 554 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 4: majority of Americans felt like the country was heading in 555 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 4: the right direction. 556 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 3: I don't remember when that was. 557 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: Certainly hasn't been in the lifetime with my four children, 558 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 4: three of whom are no longer children, and they've never 559 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: known a country which the majority felt we're head in 560 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 4: the wrong direction. This country's broken, Our institutions are broken, 561 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 4: our economy's broken. Yeah, the majority of Americans no longer 562 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 4: believe this is a place where you can anyone has 563 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 4: a chance to get ahead. You know, we've seen, we've 564 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 4: we've turned our culture into the vulte. We celebrate the vulgar, 565 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 4: the ridiculous, the obscene and absurd and so and then 566 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 4: we're shocked that, you know, one and out of ten, 567 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 4: over one out of ten men in America have a 568 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 4: felony record. We life expectancy has collapsed because of suicides 569 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 4: and overdoses. We have children fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years of 570 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 4: age with high rates of mental illness and so forth 571 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 4: winding up in our hospitals. There's so much broken in 572 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 4: our country and our foreign policy. We now have two wars, 573 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 4: as I said, and the threat of a third one 574 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 4: with Taiwan. This is a big mess, and it's going 575 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 4: to require big solutions. Big solutions are not easy because 576 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 4: you're going to get resistance from special interests who are 577 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 4: vested in the status quo. You're going to get resistance 578 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 4: from the bureaucracy that will create every impediment imaginable to 579 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 4: stop you from doing these things. 580 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 3: You're going to get extraordinary. 581 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 4: Criticism from all the so called experts and the columnists 582 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 4: and commentators on television. They're going to call you all 583 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 4: kinds of horrible things. So it takes a leader who 584 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 4: doesn't care about those things, that breaks through all those 585 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 4: things to actually do things. And I saw Trump do it. 586 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 4: I saw it firsthand. For example, when we did the 587 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 4: child tax credit, he had to take on the orthodoxy 588 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 4: in the Republican Party on that and on trade for example, 589 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 4: and didn't care when we did measures on Cuba and in Venezuela. 590 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: The amount of complaints that he. 591 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 4: Got from vested interests, in addition to the commentary class 592 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 4: was extraordinary, and he plowed right through it. 593 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 3: He never let the bureaucrats get in the way of 594 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 3: taking action. 595 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 4: We're going to need that, we're going to need to 596 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 4: make this country has big problems that require big solutions, 597 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 4: some of which are going to be hard and uncomfortable. 598 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 4: Like what do you do with five or six million 599 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 4: people that have entered this country just in the last 600 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 4: three years and are here illegally. We are going to 601 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: have to deport people, and we've never had to deport 602 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 4: that many people, but we're going to have to do 603 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 4: it or this is going to get worse and it's 604 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 4: going to continue. 605 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 3: That's not going to be easy. And so I think. 606 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 4: That one of the things that one of the reason 607 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 4: why we need Trump back in the wife is because 608 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 4: I know he will do those things. 609 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 3: He will not cow down to. 610 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: The media pressure or the special interests, or the or 611 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 4: the bureaucracy, whether it's on foreign policy or domestic and 612 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 4: we are this is a time where we need some 613 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 4: big changes before it's too late. And I just think 614 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 4: he gives us the best chance to do it. He's 615 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 4: done it before, and I believe he'll do it again. 616 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 4: He's the right person at the right time to do that. 617 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: You know, I agree with what you just said in 618 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: the way you laid it out with the message there, 619 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 1: and I think we went on the messaging. My concern 620 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: is the mechanics. And you know, elections have really changed 621 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: since COVID with mail and balloting, ballot harvesting. Do you 622 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: think do you think we're doing enough at you know, 623 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: the RNC, at the NRCC, at the n er SC 624 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: to combat the Democrats mechanics of you know, getting ballots 625 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: turned in. 626 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 4: I think it depends on the state. You know, are 627 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 4: in our country. Elections are conducted at a state by 628 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 4: state basis. So you have some states that basically went 629 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 4: all out and basically, I mean to not exaggerate here, 630 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 4: but basically mailed ballots to everybody and said here's your ballot. 631 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: And they didn't only make it easy to vote, they 632 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 4: almost like, you know, stuck a ballot in your face 633 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 4: and said here it is, go do it, do it. 634 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 3: Now, do it here. 635 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 4: And anytime you do something like that, especially you've never 636 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 4: done it before, at a minimum, you're going to have 637 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,959 Speaker 4: problems and glitches, but you're also going to undermine public confidence. 638 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 4: People are going to look at it and say, well, 639 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 4: what you know, just simple simple things like the fact 640 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 4: that you have in person voting going one way and 641 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, all these mail ballots come in. 642 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 3: Even if they're all legitimate. 643 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 4: For example, the REASONAB people are going to say, hold 644 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 4: on a second, how can it be that all of 645 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 4: a sudden distinct flipped overnight. It feels weird you undermining credibility. 646 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 4: In other states. Frankly, there are no laws whatsoever, and 647 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 4: you can show up on election that you can register 648 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 4: right there, and then they do very little. They care 649 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 4: very little about the integrity of the elections. I mean, 650 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 4: so many people don't even want you to show an 651 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 4: ID to vote. You can't even get on an airplane 652 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 4: without an ID, for God's sake. But you can vote, 653 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 4: you know, and determine the future of our country. So 654 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 4: I think it really depends on a state by state 655 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 4: basis which state we're talking about in which states we're 656 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,719 Speaker 4: dealing with here. But I do think you kind of 657 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 4: reach a tipping point as well, where no matter what 658 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 4: they do, and no matter how much they try to 659 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,239 Speaker 4: do on the margins, I think there are more than 660 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 4: enough American voters who remember what life was like in 661 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 4: this country before COVID, when Trump was in the White House, 662 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 4: and they remember our economy was stronger, our nation was stronger, 663 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 4: we didn't have wars going on all over the place 664 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 4: we felt less threatened, and really the only controversy that 665 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 4: was going on was that the media was going nuts 666 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 4: about how much they hated Trump. That was the real controversy, 667 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 4: domestically manufactured by them. And I think there are enough 668 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 4: voters out there that recognize this. And then they look 669 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 4: at Biden has been a colossal disaster and every cent 670 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 4: from the border to the economy, everything costs more, Labor 671 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 4: participation is flat, the borders out of control. We have 672 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 4: two wars going on. The world feels, I'm certain, and unsafe. 673 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 4: I think there are plenty of people out there that 674 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 4: recognize that to more than make up for, you know, 675 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 4: whatever's wrong in a handful. 676 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 3: Of these states. 677 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 4: But yeah, we do need to be more vigilant and 678 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 4: call these things out and not be embarrassed to call 679 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 4: out places where the integrity and the confidence in our 680 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 4: elections are undermined by the actions of those who are 681 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 4: in charge of running them. 682 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: You know, hearing you lay all that out, it's like, man, 683 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: I can't believe so much has changed for the worse 684 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: and such a short period of time. You know, Senator 685 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: you've been so gracious with your time today. I want 686 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: to be respectful of your schedule. We just truly appreciate 687 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: you taking the time to come on the show and 688 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: thank you. 689 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks for having me on. I hope to 690 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: come back one day, yep. 691 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: And thank you for representing the great state of Florida. 692 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: It's been a great honor to do it. I'll tell 693 00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 3: you what. 694 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 4: I'm very proud of it our state and everything it's 695 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 4: done and is doing. And like every state, like I 696 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 4: wish our property insurance is a little lower, you know, 697 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 4: I wish our auto insurance rates are a little lower. 698 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 4: But I still wouldn't trade it for any of these 699 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 4: other places, you know. I was at a CBS in Washington, 700 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 4: d C. About a month ago. I don't know why 701 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 4: I had to go in there. Iye drops them at 702 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 4: nine o'clock at night, and these people just walking in 703 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 4: and taking stuff out of the cooler where the drinks were, 704 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 4: like if it was their home refrigerator, just walking out 705 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 4: the door like it was just normal, just to steal 706 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 4: from the CBS. And I felt terrible for the poor 707 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 4: man the cashier who ended up telling me he was 708 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 4: an immigrant from I believe Kenya, And it's like, yeah, 709 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 4: I can't do anything about it. I mean, as long 710 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 4: as they don't have a weapon, they tell us not 711 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 4: to call the police. I'm not saying that never happens 712 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 4: in Florida, but boy, you don't see it like you 713 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 4: do in these other places. I'm just glad I live 714 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 4: in a normal place. I hope we can get back 715 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 4: to living in a normal country. 716 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: I do to a senator, so prayers for twenty twenty four. 717 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: I hope people you know, wake up and turn out.
