Speaker 1: Two. Sean Hannity Show told Free you'd say eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine foot one Sean if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program. Over the weekend, Savannah Guthrie
Speaker 1: releasing another Instagram post. It was heartbreaking to look at
Speaker 1: this post because it's now entering its third week. Her
Speaker 1: mom's been missing, her mother, eighty four year old mother
Speaker 1: an abduction and now all we know is that this
Speaker 1: guy was outside of the house and that they're desperately
Speaker 1: trying to find the abductor. And it you know, you
Speaker 1: imagine yourself, try and put yourself in her shoes. I mean,
Speaker 1: it looks like she hadn't slept in weeks, but I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody would be able to sleep in weeks.
Speaker 1: It just is terrible what this family is having to
Speaker 1: go through. We do have a lot of developments here.
Speaker 1: One is TMZ has gotten a fourth letter. They also
Speaker 1: put out any if you have any tip you want
Speaker 1: to send to us, will pass the information onto the
Speaker 1: FBI if you feel uncomfortable doing that. They did have
Speaker 1: the DNA from the glove two miles away. Preliminary results
Speaker 1: are in. It looks like it's male DNA. That's something
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace is going to join us in a minute,
Speaker 1: has been saying now for some time. We have a
Speaker 1: statement from the sheriff, Chris Nanos on the investigation. He says,
Speaker 1: to be clear, the Guthrie family, to include all siblings
Speaker 1: and spouses, has been cleared as possible suspects in this case.
Speaker 1: The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and
Speaker 1: are victims in this case. Who suggest otherwise is not
Speaker 1: only wrong, it's cruel. The gut Thrie family are victims,
Speaker 1: plain and simple. Please, I'm begging you in the media
Speaker 1: to honor your profession and report with some sense of
Speaker 1: compassion and professionalism. Well on this show. I mean, we
Speaker 1: don't rush to judgment, and we never have suggested anyone
Speaker 1: in the family, any family member. Ninety percent of the
Speaker 1: time in cases of abduction like this, it ends up
Speaker 1: being a member of the family. So it is not unusual,
Speaker 1: I think, for people to have gone there. And the President,
Speaker 1: by the way, weighed in and he told The New
Speaker 1: York Post today that those responsible for kidnapping Nancy Guthrie
Speaker 1: must release her unharmed or they will face the most
Speaker 1: severe federal penalties. In this brief interview, he said he
Speaker 1: would want the Justice Department to seek the death penalty
Speaker 1: if the eighty four year old mother of Savannah Guthrie
Speaker 1: was in fact killed in this, and he said the
Speaker 1: abductors would face very, very severe, the most severe federal
Speaker 1: consequences if Nancy Guthrie is found dead after being abducted
Speaker 1: from her home outside of Tucson on February first. Asked
Speaker 1: if that meant the DOJ would request the death penalty,
Speaker 1: he answered the most Yeah, that's true, and he said
Speaker 1: it that way. Anyway, here to weigh in on the
Speaker 1: latest developments of all of this is our friend Nancy
Speaker 1: Grace's back with us Crime Stories and of course she
Speaker 1: has her show on Sirius XM as well Channel one
Speaker 1: to eleven and Fox one, which breaks down all the
Speaker 1: latest developments in this case. As this now Andrews week three.
Speaker 1: What do you make of the statement from the sheriff,
Speaker 1: First and foremost, you are the first one to alert
Speaker 1: me to that.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's in response to claims that a
Speaker 2: family member and in law was involved in missus Guthrie's kidnap. Now,
Speaker 2: just think about it, that family member would have to
Speaker 2: be watching his or her family suffering, not being. I mean,
Speaker 2: I know what it felt like when my fiance was murdered, Sean.
Speaker 2: I couldn't eight. I lost down to eighty nine pounds.
Speaker 2: I dropped out of college. Oh my gosh, that's my job.
Speaker 2: Just walked out. And that didn't go back to my
Speaker 2: job in the library. Yes, I worked in a lot
Speaker 2: was my dream John, laugh if you wish, But I
Speaker 2: loved it, and I just I wasted away. So just
Speaker 2: imagine a family member part of this and they see
Speaker 2: Savannah and Cameron and Annie begging and crying. Annie was
Speaker 2: sitting there like she couldn't even her eyes hurt so
Speaker 2: much she couldn't even look up. I know what that
Speaker 2: feels like when you cry so much you can hardly
Speaker 2: open your eyes. Well, you know what. One day I
Speaker 2: quit crying and I went to law school. They are suffering,
Speaker 2: And to suggest a family member did it now on
Speaker 2: your program on Fox, I went out on a lemon
Speaker 2: and said that I reject, completely reject the suggestion a
Speaker 2: family member did this thing, because I just couldn't imagine
Speaker 2: Savannah that I know, the Savannah that I knew would
Speaker 2: go on National TV and make a plea like that
Speaker 2: on our insta knowing full well that X in the
Speaker 2: family was responsible. I just couldn't imagine that. And that
Speaker 2: was me reading her and her body language, her brother,
Speaker 2: her sister. It just didn't seem reasonable to me. So
Speaker 2: that said, from day one, I rejected that. Now, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe one day I'll end up with an egg on
Speaker 2: my face and I'll have to eat a dirt sandwich,
Speaker 2: but I'm standing by it to heat more misery onto
Speaker 2: that family. I mean, one of the worst things that
Speaker 2: ever happened is that I lost my dad. And that's
Speaker 2: what Savannah sacing right now. She's already lost her dad
Speaker 2: when she was sixteen, and now about to lose her mom,
Speaker 2: or in fear she's about to lose her mom. That's
Speaker 2: even a lot of pain on them.
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, the Arizona sheriff who's leading this investigation, is
Speaker 1: convinced that she's not the victim of a burglary gone wrong,
Speaker 1: while suggesting she could have been snatched quote in revenge
Speaker 1: for something. Quote this is somebody who disappeared from the
Speaker 1: face of the earth. And now we have a camera
Speaker 1: that says here's the person who did this. And when
Speaker 1: we first got the footage, which ironically we got from
Speaker 1: the FBI, and then we had this conflict that was
Speaker 1: going on in the beginning. They didn't want the FBI
Speaker 1: involved in this case. And that's what makes me say
Speaker 1: this is a kidnapping, he said, dismissing other reports that
Speaker 1: it is being investigated as a botched burglary.
Speaker 3: I just don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, my gut would say that the person went
Speaker 1: in there and took her for a reason. If the
Speaker 1: person had wanted to kill her, why would they not
Speaker 1: have killed her on the property in the house at
Speaker 1: the time. If it was a burglary that was botched,
Speaker 1: what was taken from the home. We've never gotten any
Speaker 1: information that that happened.
Speaker 2: Sean, I can't even tell you how many thousands, yes,
Speaker 2: thousands of burglary cases I've handled. That sounds hard to believe,
Speaker 2: but ten years in inner city Atlanta handing nothing but
Speaker 2: handling nothing but felonies, one hundred new cases ish a week.
Speaker 2: You add that up. Burglary very common, and this is
Speaker 2: what goes down. A burglar comes up to the residence
Speaker 2: or the business residence, breaks in. When they find somebody there,
Speaker 2: they go, holy shiit, and they run. They don't they
Speaker 2: don't want to be identified. They want the TV, they
Speaker 2: want the jewelry, they want the money, they want the electronics,
Speaker 2: and they want to get out of there bam. Next.
Speaker 2: That's the typical, the overwhelmingly typical burglary scenario. Someone broke
Speaker 2: in to steal. They would have seen missus Guthrie and left.
Speaker 2: Why cart out an eighty four year old woman if
Speaker 2: you're in there to burglar? No, Now, burglary technically means
Speaker 2: breaking into a home or entering at home without the
Speaker 2: owner's consent to commit a felony therein. It could be
Speaker 2: any felamy, it could be as right anything, but it's
Speaker 2: typically to steal. So that is not what happened. I
Speaker 2: don't know where that scenario is coming from. The last
Speaker 2: thing you want to do is to be tied down,
Speaker 2: way down with an eighty four year old woman that
Speaker 2: can hardly walk. So that's not what happened here. That
Speaker 2: is ridiculous and regarding Nanos, no offense. But he needs
Speaker 2: to shut his pie hole. There's really no nice way
Speaker 2: to say it. After all the ups and downs, and
Speaker 2: then he says something like it could take a year
Speaker 2: to solve. She could be dead in the year Why
Speaker 2: did he say that. That's the first rule my elected
Speaker 2: district attorney told me was like a grandfather to me.
Speaker 2: Sean longest serving DA in the country at that time,
Speaker 2: and for a reason thirty plus years. He said, don't
Speaker 2: speak to the press. Sam, It's simple. So I'm not
Speaker 2: sure why all of this opining. If you want to
Speaker 2: do appressor in state the latest fine, but the opining,
Speaker 2: the opinions, he needs to stop. It's only hurting the investigation.
Speaker 1: What do you think is likely happening that that not
Speaker 1: telling the public, because that's what really that's where the
Speaker 1: real police work has taken place.
Speaker 2: Right. I believe that they may have more persons of
Speaker 2: interest as cash Betel intimated. I think that they can
Speaker 2: well be Feds anyway, maybe not. Nanos are contemplating a scheme.
Speaker 2: Another thing that happened. And the other day I actually
Speaker 2: read online. It's painful many times, yes, but I read
Speaker 2: it because people send me cases that I didn't know about.
Speaker 2: To cover missing people on fulf tumasizes, someone wrote, Nancy,
Speaker 2: they should attach a device that detects pacemakers to canines
Speaker 2: and take them through the neighborhood. And I kind of
Speaker 2: poop pooed it. I gotten to thinking about, well, is
Speaker 2: that possible? Well, today I spoke to a founding member
Speaker 2: of the Cellular Analysis Survey team with the FBI. He
Speaker 2: actually contacted them cast on Saturday about using drum and
Speaker 2: take modern technology to find Bluetooth emissions from her pacemaker.
Speaker 2: And they're actually doing it. I can't take the credit
Speaker 2: with Scott Iiker that had the idea and they're actually
Speaker 2: doing that. I've never heard anything like it. They're taking
Speaker 2: low flying drones and they are trying to pick up
Speaker 2: the bluetooth signal signal from her pastmaker. You know, my
Speaker 2: dad had a pacemaker. Those batteries last between five and
Speaker 2: fifteen years, typical seven to twelve. It's not going to
Speaker 2: go dead. Even if the person passes away. The pacemaker
Speaker 2: keeps going till the battery dies. So they're trying that.
Speaker 2: It's a long shot, but they're doing that. And the
Speaker 2: big thing is the DNA found in the glove. Can
Speaker 2: I tell you one more thing about the glove sewan,
Speaker 2: which I'm very disturbed about. There were about sixteen gloves found,
Speaker 2: you know, all over the area.
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: When I read that this weekend, I was shocked I'm
Speaker 1: sixteen gloves covered around the area of Nancy Guthrie's home,
Speaker 1: you know, discarded by his searchers during canvassing efforts.
Speaker 2: Some of them look like they may want of them anyway,
Speaker 2: look like they may have been a winter glove that
Speaker 2: somebody threw off in the winter or lost while they
Speaker 2: were walking or jogging. Others looked like rubber gloves. Others
Speaker 2: look like latex or plastic gloves, all different colors. Here's
Speaker 2: the problem. None. You can exclude a lot of them
Speaker 2: because we see what the perp was wearing. We see
Speaker 2: his gloves. If you find a light blue one, or
Speaker 2: a red one, a green one, yell one, you know
Speaker 2: that's not it. But here's the problem. This is fodder
Speaker 2: fodder for a defense team in the future to say
Speaker 2: when now, wait a minute, wait a minute, what about
Speaker 2: all these other gloves? What about those people we saw
Speaker 2: that happen in Brian Coburger There was a glove found
Speaker 2: in the parking lot outside the murder scene on King Road,
Speaker 2: and the defense planned to use it, and you saying
Speaker 2: this was the real killer. All aj see by sailing
Speaker 2: to find in the first search or searchers discarding them,
Speaker 2: they had created and have a dientionary problem. It's going
Speaker 2: to rare up to bite the prosecution in the next
Speaker 2: should this ever go to trial. See what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just got to believe.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: There was some criticism. I was watching Trey Gaudy last
Speaker 1: night and a former swat team leader, Chad Errors, was
Speaker 1: on and he called. He talked about the sloppiness in
Speaker 1: the case, and then he made the statement, how many
Speaker 1: times you know have we released the crime scene and
Speaker 1: had investigators come back and we have discussed this. If
Speaker 1: we do apprehend a suspect, defense attorneys are going to
Speaker 1: have a heyday with this case. And I'm afraid because
Speaker 1: of the sloppiness that has been gone that has taken
Speaker 1: place in the investigation. Do you share that criticism?
Speaker 2: And I typically do not criticize law enforcement. I am
Speaker 2: I am here devoted my whole life to law enforcement
Speaker 2: and putting the bad guy away. Yes, it's a problem.
Speaker 2: The scene has been compromised. There's going to be a
Speaker 2: chain of custody issue because they released the crime scene.
Speaker 2: Anybody and everybody, as I like to say, little Fifer
Speaker 2: could go up there and take photos and take photos
Speaker 2: of Nancy Guthrie's blood on the floor seat. That would
Speaker 2: upset me, you know, that would upset me greatly as
Speaker 2: a family member for people to be taking pictures of
Speaker 2: my mother's blood. But that said, it hurts the case
Speaker 2: evidentiary wise. They even brought in a pool cleaning team.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is wrong with you? People? Close off
Speaker 2: the scene? Can you not hear National TV condemning you?
Speaker 2: But yet they didn't. So the good news is there's
Speaker 2: a set of gloves that seemingly are the gloves the
Speaker 2: per war on the front porch. They match the description.
Speaker 2: There is male DNA. Now stop me whenever you want,
Speaker 2: but Sean, this is going to happen. They're going to
Speaker 2: take that. They're going to look to see if any
Speaker 2: DNA or was commingled, has it been compromised out in
Speaker 2: the elements. They're going to extract the DNA. It is
Speaker 2: male DNA, you can tell that pretty quickly. It's going
Speaker 2: to go into codis theods if an anachronism for the
Speaker 2: DNA databank. In that data bank are convicted felons and
Speaker 2: many misdemeanors as well. But it doesn't have to just
Speaker 2: be them. See, we can get a hit. Not a
Speaker 2: perfect hit, but a hit. If it was one of
Speaker 2: their cousins, their nephews, their grandpas, anybody that's related biologically
Speaker 2: to somebody behind bars in the whole country it will hit.
Speaker 2: Then will have to narrow it down to what relative
Speaker 2: is living in the area. If that doesn't work, it's
Speaker 2: going into genetic genealogy, and they're gonna go all the
Speaker 2: way back in time and to a genetic tree of
Speaker 2: who this DNA belongs to. My consolation is that the
Speaker 2: evidence will be so that these errors such as compromising
Speaker 2: the crime scene, will be overcome by the strength of
Speaker 2: the evidence. That's my home.
Speaker 1: That's my hope, that's our prayer. This has gone on
Speaker 1: too long, and I'm just hoping we get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of it. Nancy Grace, I never knew that you
Speaker 1: went down to eighty nine pounds when you lived through that.
Speaker 1: I am not surprised. And you've taken the greatest pain
Speaker 1: in your life and turned it into a purpose and
Speaker 1: a mission, and you've helped so many people in the
Speaker 1: course of your career. Out of tragedy became great triumph
Speaker 1: and a great purpose in your life. And you amaze
Speaker 1: me every day. We appreciate you. Thank you. Nancy. Grace
Speaker 1: will have the latest on Hannity tonight at nine quick
Speaker 1: break right back by twenty five now, so the top
Speaker 1: of the hour, eight and nine one, Shawn our number.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program. Look,
Speaker 1: if you're into health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, everyone's talking about longevity. Well,
Speaker 1: you want to eat health here? Well, one way you
Speaker 1: can is thanks to our friend Peter Harris and his family.
Speaker 1: They're dedicated to putting the healthy food possible in your
Speaker 1: house so that you and your family can achieve whatever
Speaker 1: goals you might have for the new year. And that's
Speaker 1: where grainberry cereal comes in.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: A lot of you, if you go down your cereal aisle,
Speaker 1: find the cereal that you grew up eating when you
Speaker 1: were a kid. What did you eat, Linda, when you
Speaker 1: were a kid.
Speaker 3: What cereal did you like? I like cinnamon too's crunch?
Speaker 1: All right, cinnamon TOAs crunch. Did you ever look at
Speaker 1: the ingredients and cinnamon toast crunch?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't eat it now, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, A ton of sugar all right.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: The good news is is grainberry is healthier now. If
Speaker 1: you grew up on any of those cereals. Take that
Speaker 1: box and compare it to any of the grainberry cereals
Speaker 1: that are out there. You might find it in the
Speaker 1: cereal aisle or maybe the health food ale at your
Speaker 1: store brand Flakes, Grainberry Raisin brand. They have grainberry honey,
Speaker 1: nut apple cinnamon, grainberry cinnamon frosted. You're gonna love that, Linda.
Speaker 1: You can try that now, the beauty of grainberry. It's
Speaker 1: lower in sugar. It's made with natural plan base fiber
Speaker 1: antioxidants along with their own old grain Onyx sorgum which
Speaker 1: helps slow sugar absorption. And they got all these great flavors.
Speaker 1: And they also create the greatest pasta sauce with no
Speaker 1: sugar added. And it's called Linda Silver Palate Pasta Sauce,
Speaker 1: Silver Palapasta sauce. It's sauce apparently, according to the linguist
Speaker 1: calling my show last week, that is the proper pronunciation
Speaker 1: sauce Porfy New York and Tork Radio anyway, make the
Speaker 1: switch now. Brainberry cereal the official cereal of the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show. As I mentioned in the last hour, I
Speaker 1: want to play this because this I think Marco Rubio
Speaker 1: has been doing an unbelievable job as Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: I think he's got more jobs than anyone else in
Speaker 1: the administration. And he gave this speech in Munich, and
Speaker 1: it really was about Western civilization and about the Trump agenda,
Speaker 1: whether or not Europe is fully ready to embrace, although
Speaker 1: he did get a standing out the changes that they
Speaker 1: would need to make to get control of their destiny
Speaker 1: and embrace Western civilization. Whether they're willing to make those changes,
Speaker 1: whether the people have had enough, I don't know. But
Speaker 1: they have embraced the climate alarmist religious cult that has
Speaker 1: hurt their economy and made them reliant on Putin and
Speaker 1: Russia and enemy countries for the lifeblood of their economy,
Speaker 1: which is why Trump gave then German Chancellor Merkle the
Speaker 1: white flag of surrender. Or their race to embrace socialism
Speaker 1: always ends in failure, always ends and broken promises always
Speaker 1: ends in more poverty, always ends in a loss of freedom.
Speaker 1: They've had immigration without any assimilation or vetting for that matter.
Speaker 1: Never thought Great Britain would have all these Nogo zones,
Speaker 1: never thought that that we have Sharia courts in Great Britain.
Speaker 1: But we do, and they have not done their job
Speaker 1: in terms of keeping up with the national security reality
Speaker 1: and where they are in the place in the world.
Speaker 1: And they have been negligent, and as a result, they
Speaker 1: have fallen behind, and they are in decline, and they
Speaker 1: are in a precipitous decline. And I will tell you
Speaker 1: that Marco Rubio's speech just blew everybody away. It was remarkable,
Speaker 1: it was frankly historic. So he criticized the post Cold
Speaker 1: War belief that the world has reached the end of history.
Speaker 1: He said, it's a foolish idea that ignored both human
Speaker 1: nature and ignored all the lessons in the last five
Speaker 1: thousand years of recorded human history, and it has cost
Speaker 1: us dearly. And he talked about all of the failings
Speaker 1: of Europe, and you would think he would not have
Speaker 1: had a receptive audience. Just the opposite. He did, and
Speaker 1: he got, as I said, a standing ovation. And anyway,
Speaker 1: I think it was the most magnificent speech of his
Speaker 1: career by far, won huge applause and reassurance. And I
Speaker 1: think that he is basically giving Europe now a choice
Speaker 1: to get their act together, reverse cores, save their continent,
Speaker 1: or they will face consequences that are incalculable. And it's historic.
Speaker 1: It's a moment of choosing. And here's what he said.
Speaker 3: We gather here today as members of a historic alliance,
Speaker 3: an alliance that saved and changed the world. You know,
Speaker 3: when this conference began in nineteen sixty three, it was
Speaker 3: in a nation, actually it was on a continent. It
Speaker 3: was divided against itself. Line between communism and freedom ran
Speaker 3: through the heart of Germany. The first barb fences of
Speaker 3: the Berlin Wall had gone up just two years prior,
Speaker 3: and just months before that first conference. Before our predecessors
Speaker 3: first met here here in Munich, the Cuban missile crisis
Speaker 3: had brought the world to the brink of nuclear destruction.
Speaker 3: Even as World War Two still burned fresh in the
Speaker 3: memory of Americans and Europeans alike, we found ourselves staring
Speaker 3: down the barrel of a new global catastrophe, one with
Speaker 3: the potential for a new kind of destruction, more apocalyptic
Speaker 3: and final than anything before in the history of mankind.
Speaker 3: The time of that first gathering, Soviet Communism was on
Speaker 3: the march. Thousands of years of Western civilization hung in
Speaker 3: the balance. At that time, victory was far from certain,
Speaker 3: but we were driven by a common purpose. We were unified,
Speaker 3: not just by what we were fighting against. We were
Speaker 3: unified but what we were fighting for. And together Europe
Speaker 3: and America prevailed, and a continent was rebuilt, our people prospered.
Speaker 3: In time, the East and West blocks were reunited, a
Speaker 3: civilization was once again made whole. That infamous wall that
Speaker 3: had cleaned this nation into two came down, and with
Speaker 3: it an evil empire, and the East and West became
Speaker 3: one again. But the euphoria of this triumph led us
Speaker 3: to a dangerous delusion that we had entered quote the
Speaker 3: end of history, that every nation would now be a
Speaker 3: liberal democracy, that the ties formed by trade and by
Speaker 3: commerce alone would now replace nationhood, that the rules based
Speaker 3: global order and overuse term would now replace the national interests,
Speaker 3: and that we would now live in a world without borders,
Speaker 3: where everyone became a citizen of the world. This was
Speaker 3: a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it
Speaker 3: ignored the lessons of over five thousand years of recorded
Speaker 3: human history, and it has cost us dearly. In this delusion,
Speaker 3: we embraced a dogmatic vision of free and unfettered trade,
Speaker 3: even as some nations protected their economies and subsidized their
Speaker 3: companies to systematically undercut hours. Shuttering our plants was resulting
Speaker 3: in large parts of our societies being de industrialized, shipping
Speaker 3: millions of working in middle class jobs overseas, and handing
Speaker 3: control of our critical supply chains to both adversaries and rivals.
Speaker 3: We increasingly outsourced our sovereignty to international institutions, while many
Speaker 3: nations invested in massive welfare states at the cost of
Speaker 3: maintaining the ability to defend themselves. This even as other
Speaker 3: countries have invested in the most rapid military build up
Speaker 3: in all of human history and have not hesitated to
Speaker 3: use hard power to pursue their own interests. To appease
Speaker 3: a climate cults, we have imposed energy policies on ourselves
Speaker 3: that are impoverishing our people, even as our competitors exploit
Speaker 3: oil and coal and natural gas and anything else not
Speaker 3: just to power their economies, but to use as leverage
Speaker 3: against our own. And in a pursuitable world without borders,
Speaker 3: we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass
Speaker 3: migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity
Speaker 3: of our culture, and the future of our people. We
Speaker 3: made these mistakes together, and now together we owe it
Speaker 3: to our people to face those facts and to move
Speaker 3: forward to rebuild. Fear fear of climate change, fear of war,
Speaker 3: fear of technology. Instead, we wanted alliance that boldly races
Speaker 3: into the future, and the only fear we have is
Speaker 3: the fear of the shame of not leaving our nations prouder, stronger,
Speaker 3: and wealthier for our children. An alliance ready to defend
Speaker 3: our people, to safeguard our interests, and to preserve the
Speaker 3: freedom of action that allows us to shape our own destiny,
Speaker 3: not one that exists to operate a global welfare state
Speaker 3: and atone for the purported sins of past generations. An
Speaker 3: alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained,
Speaker 3: or subordinated to systems beyond its control. One that does
Speaker 3: not depend on others for the critical necessities of its
Speaker 3: national life. And one that does not maintain the polite
Speaker 3: pretense that our way of life is just one among many,
Speaker 3: and that asks for permission before it acts. And above all,
Speaker 3: an alliance based on the recognition that we the West
Speaker 3: have inherited together. What we have inherited together is something
Speaker 3: that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable, because this, after all,
Speaker 3: is the very foundation of the Transatlantic bond. Acting together
Speaker 3: in this way, we will not just help recovery a
Speaker 3: sane foreign policy. It will restore to us a clear
Speaker 3: sense of ourselves. It will restory place in the world,
Speaker 3: and in so doing it will rebuke and deter the
Speaker 3: forces of civilizational erasure that today benis menace both America
Speaker 3: and Europe alike. So, in a time of headlines heralding
Speaker 3: the end of the Transatlantic era, let it be known
Speaker 3: and clear to all that this is neither our goal
Speaker 3: nor our wish. Because for US Americans, our home may
Speaker 3: be in the Western Hemisphere, but we will always be
Speaker 3: a child of Europe. Our story began with an Italian
Speaker 3: explorer whose adventure into the great Unknown to discover a
Speaker 3: new world brought Christianity to the Americas and became the
Speaker 3: legend that defined the imagination of our pioneer nation. Our
Speaker 3: first colonies were built by English settlers, to whom we
Speaker 3: owe not just the language we speak, but the whole
Speaker 3: of our political and legal system. Our frontiers were shaped
Speaker 3: by Scott's Irish, that proud hardy clan from the hills
Speaker 3: of Ulster. They gave us Davy Crockett and Mark Twain
Speaker 3: and Teddy Roosevelt and Neil Armstrong. Our great Midwestern heartland
Speaker 3: was built by German farmers and craftsmen who transformed empty
Speaker 3: planes into a global agricultural powerhouse and, by the way,
Speaker 3: dramatically upgraded the quality of American beer. Our expansion into
Speaker 3: the interior followed the footsteps of French fur traders and explorers,
Speaker 3: whose names, by the way, still adorn the street signs
Speaker 3: and towns names all across the Mississippi Valley. Our horses,
Speaker 3: our ranches, our rodeos, the the entire romance of the
Speaker 3: cowboy archetype that became synonymous with the American West. These
Speaker 3: were born in Spain, and our largest and most iconic
Speaker 3: city was named New Amsterdam before it was named New York.
Speaker 3: And you know that in the year that my country
Speaker 3: was found in, Lorenzo and Catalina Geraldi lived in cassal
Speaker 3: Montferrato in the Kingdom of Piedmont, Sardinia, and Josea Manuel
Speaker 3: Arena lived in Sevilla, Spain. I don't know what of
Speaker 3: anything they knew about the thirteen colonies which have gained
Speaker 3: their independence from the British Empire. But here's what I'm
Speaker 3: certain of. They could have never imagined that two hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty years later, one of their direct descendants would
Speaker 3: be back here today on this continent as the chief
Speaker 3: diplomat of that infant nation. And yet here I am
Speaker 3: reminded by my own story that both are histories, and
Speaker 3: our fates will always be linked together. We rebuilt the
Speaker 3: shattered continent, and the wake of two devastating world wars,
Speaker 3: when we found ourselves divided once again by the Iron Curtain,
Speaker 3: the Free West linked arms with the courageous dissidents struggling
Speaker 3: against tyranny in the East to defeat Soviet Communism. We
Speaker 3: have fought against each other, then reconciled, then fought, then
Speaker 3: reconciled again, and we have bled and died side by
Speaker 3: side on battlefields from cap Youong to Kendar. And I'm
Speaker 3: here today to leave it clear that America is charting
Speaker 3: the path for a new century of prosperity, and that
Speaker 3: once again we want to do it together with you,
Speaker 3: our cherished allies and our oldest friends. We want to
Speaker 3: do it together with you. With the Europe it's proud
Speaker 3: of its heritage and of its history. With a Europe
Speaker 3: that has the spirit of creation and liberty that sent
Speaker 3: ships out into uncharted seas and births our civilization with
Speaker 3: a Europe that has the means to defend itself and
Speaker 3: the will to survive. We should be proud of what
Speaker 3: we achieved together in the last century. But now we
Speaker 3: must confront and embrace the opportunities of a new one,
Speaker 3: because yesterday is over, the future is inevitable, and our
Speaker 3: destiny together awaits all right.
Speaker 1: That was Marco Rubio at the Munich conference, just blowing
Speaker 1: everybody away. Now on the other side of this, by
Speaker 1: the way, we are going to have Tutor Dixon on way.
Speaker 1: Do you hear the likes of Hillary Clinton and AOC
Speaker 1: and Gretchen Whitmer and others, and how dumb they sounded
Speaker 1: compared to Marco. It's actually such a contrast. I think
Speaker 1: it's worth playing. I'll get to your calls as well,
Speaker 1: coming up. Eight hundred and nine point one, Sean is
Speaker 1: our number.
