Quote. Uh does that give you pause? 57 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 3: Well, it'll give me pause if in the next sixty 58 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: to ninety to one hundred and twenty days, Uh, it 59 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: becomes more of a US footprint in Venezuela, we'll see. 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 11: Uh. 61 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: Sure. 62 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: But having said that, when he says we're in charge, 63 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: let's be clear, right, I mean, the second terry of 64 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: war down in Venezuela is not pete hegseth right now. 65 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 3: In other words, they're not necessarily installing an actual government 66 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: with bodies, if you will, people officials on the ground. 67 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: What Trump is saying here when he says we're in charges, 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 3: we're calling the shots. And that's that's what's happening. 69 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: So we're running Venezuela. 70 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: We're in charge. 71 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: Technically that is not true. 72 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: But what technically is true is they are calling the shots, 73 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: which basically means they're running Venezuela. So Allison, he is right. 74 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 6: But but the thing is. 75 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 12: I mean, what would the alternative be we went in, 76 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 12: did this strategic strike and then just hauled it out 77 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 12: of there and left nothing. I mean, that would be impossible. 78 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 12: So something has to be done. Hopefully it's a smooth 79 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 12: I don't know if it can be smooth. But you know, 80 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 12: it concerns me with the woman who was put in 81 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 12: charge right now and what's going to happen with her 82 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 12: as she was part of you know, Delce, as she 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 12: was part of Maduro's team. That doesn't, you know, seem 84 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 12: very hopeful to me, but I don't really know. 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 3: Well not to make it. You know, it's fluster tvates 86 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: as well. I mean, you got a whole cauldron of 87 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: bad dudes down there within the government. So they're either 88 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 3: going to play nice or they're gonna be gone. I 89 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 3: mean that's the bottom line. I mean, Trump's not playing 90 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: around as anybody ever heard about that before. Trump ain't playing. 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 6: Yeah, we got the s FO. 92 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: Yeah right, what does that mean? 93 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: FAF Oh no, no, okay, kidding, Yeah, we're going. 94 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 6: To We're going to be good.

The 97 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 12: righteous cry out, and the Lord hears and delivers them 98 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 12: out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 12: those who have a broken heart, and save such as 100 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 12: have a contrite spirit. 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 6: Well more. 102 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 12: On the capture of Venezuelan tatar Nicholas Maduro, Secretary of 103 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 12: State Marco Rubio said Maduro was not a legitimate leader 104 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 12: and said new leadership will come in. 105 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 13: Let's say ultimately, legitimacy for their system of government will 106 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 13: come about through a period of transition and real elections, 107 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 13: which they have not had. And by the way, it's 108 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 13: the reason why Maduro was is not just an indicted 109 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 13: drug or an indicted drug trafficker. He's illegitimate president. He 110 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 13: was not the head of state. And I continue to 111 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 13: see these media reports referring to him as President Maduro 112 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 13: and the head of a state. He was not the 113 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 13: head of state. He was not the head And it's 114 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 13: not just us saying that. The Biden administration said it, 115 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 13: and so did sixty something countries around the world hold 116 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 13: that position. 117 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 6: Love it, Rubio not pulling any punches. 118 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 12: Let's now bring in Arizona congressional candidate Sheriff Mark Lamb. 119 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 6: Welcome, Sheriff Good morning. 120 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 14: Good morning Alison, Good morning TV, Terrence and David.

I mean, Terrence, that's. 126 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 12: All good Sheriff, what was your initial reaction to the news. 127 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 14: Look, I was in Panama in nineteen eighty nine going 128 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 14: into nineteen ninety. I was there as seventeen years old. 129 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 14: My family was my dad was a businessman in Panama, 130 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 14: lived in Panama, and so when I saw those videos, 131 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 14: it reminded me of when the US invaded Panama. However, 132 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 14: the Trump had invasion of Venezuela was much more successful. 133 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 14: What President Trump and his team did, being able to 134 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 14: enter in the dark of night, minimal casualties, and remove 135 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 14: the president from that country, I thought was absolutely outstanding. Look, 136 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 14: this is a man who is a communist, who is 137 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 14: a socialist. We got to stop putting up with it. 138 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 14: And the other first reaction I had was let's do 139 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 14: Minnesota next. 140 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: You know you mentioned Panama. 141 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 3: You're right, twenty three American soldiers died in that attack 142 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: under George H. W. Bush when they went in and 143 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: got Noriega. This was a boy. This was a precision 144 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: for sure. Now look, here's the thing, I mean, the 145 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 3: big question I think we need to answer on this show, 146 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: and it's going to be a work in progress, if 147 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: you will. 148 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: Is this move MAGA. 149 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: So I'm curious to get your take on that. 150 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: Obviously, the pure. 151 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: Isolationist crowd, the mtgs of the world, think this is horrible, 152 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: and there's a slice of MAGA that's not going to 153 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 3: like this. But my sense of it, Sheriff Lamb, is 154 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: that most of MAGA will go along with this and 155 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: like it dot dot dot with an asterisk. Let's talk 156 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: in six months to see what our footprint is on 157 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: the ground there and to make sure this isn't getting 158 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: out of control to the point where we've got too 159 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: many boots on the ground. I mean, we had a 160 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: couple hundred thousand in a rock. 161 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: This is not a rock. This is not nation building. 162 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: And I'm curious to get your take on all of that. 163 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 14: Well, look, I'm ann America only in many cases, guy, 164 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 14: I think we should focus on what we are problems 165 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 14: here in America. But some of our problems here in 166 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 14: America were caused by people like Venezuela, where we had 167 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 14: all these people that were brought in here from Venezuela. 168 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 14: Not only that, we have continued to have drugs. We 169 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 14: saw the drug boats that were coming in here. Think 170 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 14: about the ones we didn't catch, all the drugs coming 171 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 14: in here. We've got cartaeil guys in Mexico that I 172 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 14: would love to see removed through in the dark of night. 173 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 14: We've got to stop the flow of drugs into America. 174 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 14: The average person in this country does not see firsthand 175 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 14: the effects of what people like Maduro and the cartel 176 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 14: guys bring into this country and the devastation it reeks 177 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 14: on American families. That is why I want to see 178 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 14: us eradicate evil in this world. He being one of them, 179 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 14: along with the drugs that he was purveying. And I 180 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 14: think this is a message to other cartail members. My 181 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 14: wife said it best. She was like, look, if I 182 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 14: was a cartail member, or if I was another dictator 183 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 14: or criminal, I think I would pack up my money 184 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 14: and move to a beach and never be heard from 185 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 14: him again. 186 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 7: At this point. 187 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Sheriff Lamb. 188 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, most of those dictators live in countries that have 189 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: beaches in pretty nice ones. But that's a whole nother story. 190 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: So which actually brings me to Columbia. Then let's talk Columbia. 191 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: President Trump is threatening to potentially do some sort of 192 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: action in Columbia. 193 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: Is that reasonable in your mind? 194 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: And part beat to that question, since you do have 195 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: experience in Panama, are Nicholas Maduro and Noriega Manuel nor Diega? 196 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: Are they virtually the same person in your mind? Do 197 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: they have the same sort of threat historically and currently 198 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: to the United States. 199 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 14: Look, I think no Diego was a little bit different. 200 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 14: Noriego was not a communist. He was a dictator and 201 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 14: what he did was he told the CIA, Hey, I'm 202 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 14: not playing your game anymore, and they didn't like that. 203 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 14: Let's not this is not just a one way street. Look, 204 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 14: our politics play a role in a lot of these 205 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 14: we're having to fix across the globe, and I think 206 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 14: that we have got to do better as a country, 207 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 14: and removing this guy, I think is a good sign 208 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 14: that we're in the right direction. Now I'm alone with 209 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 14: a lot of other people. I don't want to see 210 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 14: us being, you know, going all over the world and 211 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 14: trying to fix everybody's problems. We have a ton of 212 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 14: problems right here in America that I agree with a 213 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 14: lot of people. We need to focus on those problems 214 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 14: as well. One of the problems is when we had Panama, 215 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 14: most of the people, including the left media at the 216 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 14: time that was there was no left and right media, 217 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 14: but the media was all for it, and so were 218 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 14: most Americans. Now what we have is we have all 219 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 14: these white liberals and we have all these paid agitators 220 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 14: who go out and it doesn't matter what President Trump does. 221 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 14: He could save the world and they would still not 222 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 14: like it. These people just have a deep hate for 223 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 14: him and they're going to fight against anything that he does. 224 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 14: And I just and then we have all these paid 225 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 14: agitators going around look through the world, Argentina, Venezuela, all 226 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 14: these different places who are celebrating the removal of this 227 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 14: man because they lived through what kind of dictator he was, 228 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 14: and how vicious and violent, and how he ruled that 229 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 14: country with fear and proof positive all the people that 230 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 14: have come here looking for a better life, and many 231 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 14: of those were criminals that Maduro dumped into our country. 232 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 12: Sheriff Lama, you're such a great communicator, just in a 233 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 12: very succinct way, Why does this work. Why do the 234 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 12: American people benefit from what happened over the weekend. 235 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 14: Well, it certainly is going to throw a wrench in 236 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 14: the situation on the drugs that are brought in here. 237 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 14: Is he the biggest purveyor of fentanyl and other drugs 238 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 14: cocaine into America? No, he is not. Neither is Venezuela. 239 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 14: That's going to probably be the cartels in Mexico. But 240 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 14: this is the start of something where we're really having 241 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 14: a war on drugs. There's been that president after and 242 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 14: has come in and said We're gonna war on drugs, 243 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 14: and then they don't do anything. As a matter of fact, 244 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 14: the policies actually ate in a bed in the cartels business. 245 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 14: We finally have somebody who is actually doing what is 246 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 14: right to help Americans save American lives. And I think 247 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 14: that is what I hope people take away from this. Also, 248 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 14: we need to get President President Trump credit. He went 249 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 14: in there and in less than a night, one night, 250 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 14: he removed the president and his wife. And look at that. 251 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 14: This was not a sustained military effort where tons of 252 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 14: citizens were dying. This was a very well executed tactical strike. 253 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 14: And I think they achieved their mission. And I think 254 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 14: Americans should be proud of what the work that was 255 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 14: done last night, because no other country could have done 256 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 14: what President Trump and America did taken him out of 257 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 14: office lit a couple of nights ago. 258 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 12: Thank you so much, Sheriff Lamb for being here this morning. 259 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 6: We appreciate it. 260 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 3: I sure thank you. 261 00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 14: Good God. 262 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 12: Mus come up, we check out the hottest headlines from 263 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 12: the RAP newsroom with TVs and later the international fallout 264 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 12: from the Maduro capture.

T Bates standing by with some more headlines 280 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 3: from the Real Americans Voice newsroom, sponsored Everybody by AMAC. 281 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 16: The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice 282 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 16: for Americans fifty and older.

Joined today, together, we can 284 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 16: write the course of America. 285 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: The big story of the day is that deposed Venezuelan 286 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: president Nicholas Maduro has a date with the judge in 287 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: New York City today. 288 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: He'll face narco terrorism charges. 289 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Today's noon hearing will be Maduro's first court appearance after 290 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: being taken into custody by US officials. This is a 291 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: live look at the courthouse where he'll appear. Maduro and 292 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: his wife are both expected in court, as the proceeding 293 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: will likely kick off a legal fight over whether the 294 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: duo can even be put on trial here in the US. 295 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: Lawyers representing the former Venezuelan leader will contest the legality 296 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: of his arrest and argue that he is immune from 297 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: prosecution as a sovereign head of state. Meantime, protesters who 298 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: are opposed to the administration's move to arrest and try Maduro, 299 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: will likely make their voices heard again today. On Sunday, 300 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: a few dozen of them gathered outside the New York 301 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: jail where the arrested leaders being held. They held signs 302 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: opposing a US war with Venezuelan. As you can see, 303 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: and while protesters question the legality of Nicholas Maduro's arrest, 304 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: there is precedent for this sort of action. You probably remember, 305 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: and we just talked about a little while ago. Panama's 306 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: Manuel Nora Jega was arrested and tried in similar circumstances 307 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: following the nineteen ninety US invasion of that country. Plus, 308 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: in Maduro's case, the United States doesn't recognize him as 309 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: Venezuela's legitimate head of state, particularly after the country's disputed 310 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election. The country's interim president, Delsea Rodriguez, 311 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: is demanding that the US return Maduro. Taken to social 312 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: media on Sunday, though Rodrigaez said that she was hoping 313 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: for quote respectful relations with the United States. Maduro and 314 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: his allies claimed the US's actions are motivated by lust 315 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: for Venezuela's oil and mineral resources and while all eyes 316 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: are on Venezuela. President Trump also out with the warning 317 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: to Colombia this morning. 318 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 8: Colombia is very sick too, run by a sick man 319 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 8: who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States. 320 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 8: And he's not going to be doing it very long. 321 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 9: Let me tell you, going to be doing it very long. 322 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 8: You're not doing it very long. He has cocaine mills 323 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 8: and cocaine factories. He's not going to be doing it. 324 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 6: For operation the US. 325 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 8: It sounds good to me. 326 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 7: You know why.

We're talking record warmth from 356 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 5: coast to coast really throughout the entire weeks, so it 357 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 5: is not going to feel like the holidays were just 358 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 5: a week ago. So look at this. This is where 359 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 5: we could have record high temperatures. And this is through Friday. 360 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 5: So we broke close to thirty daytime highs yesterday, and 361 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 5: we've got up to about sixty more here this week. 362 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 5: And I'm not just talking by a couple degrees. I'm 363 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 5: talking we're well above average, a good fifteen to thirty 364 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,239 Speaker 5: degrees warmer than average. So if you didn't like the 365 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 5: snow you got for the holidays, we're in for a 366 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 5: big change because a lot of us will feel those 367 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 5: above average temperatures.

The details are coming up first, though 377 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: a quick look at this day in history. It was 378 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: on this date in nineteen seventy two to President Nixon 379 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: launched the US space Shuttle program, approving the development of 380 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: a reusable spacecraft designed to make spaceflight. 381 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 2: More affordable and more frequent. 382 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: The Shuttle was meant to fly more like an airplane 383 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: than a one time rocket. This decision led to the 384 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: first shuttle, Columbia, which of course, blasted into space. 385 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: In nineteen eighty one and changed the. 386 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: Future of NAS emissions.

Okay, whatever, guess what, DELSI, we're calling the shots. 404 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 3: Rodriguez says, they extended an invitation of the Trump administration 405 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 3: to work together on a cooperation agenda aim to strengthen 406 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: lasting community coexistence. YadA, YadA, YadA. This comes after Rodriguez 407 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 3: initially condemned the Trump administration's actions against Maduro. Well, that 408 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 3: didn't last long. For more, Let's bring in former Trump 409 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 3: foreign policy advisor and author of Iran an Imperialist Republic 410 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 3: and US policy.

My goodness, the new 412 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 3: year off to a big start. Talk about off with 413 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 3: a bang, if you will, Venezuela and Iran, and we 414 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 3: will get to the unrest in Iran in a moment. 415 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 3: But regarding Venezuela, clearly the US is now calling the shots. 416 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 3: But what about Rodriguez and the rest of the Maduro regime. 417 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 3: I mean, they can't be trusted, can they? How does 418 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 3: this all proceed from here? Good morning to. 419 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 19: You, Good morning to you. Thank you for having an 420 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 19: happy New Year to you and your team. President Trump 421 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 19: made something unclear a little bit clearer. 422 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 20: When he said we're going to run. 423 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: Now. 424 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 19: There are legal, even international law, legal ground to this. 425 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 20: It's a mandate. 426 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 19: It's a mandate for the United States to rearrange the 427 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 19: relationship with Venezuela, making sure that the threat that was 428 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 19: previously against the United States is over. So it's not 429 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 19: that this isn't going to be an occupation. This is 430 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 19: a mission by the United States. The most important that 431 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 19: you just mentioned is to have an administration or a 432 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 19: bureaucracy in Venezuela that would work. 433 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 20: With the United States. 434 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 19: When he was asked about the role of the leader 435 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 19: of the opposition who won elections, he said, not now, 436 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,719 Speaker 19: I'm going to deal with the sitting bureaucracy. Why he 437 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 19: doesn't want to go through the experience of dismantling everything 438 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 19: and then there will be ailes. Then they could be 439 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 19: gear law that the dismantling of the Iraqi Army in Iraq. 440 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 19: So they're going to be walking through these fine lines 441 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 19: to get a cooperation with the army essentially inside Venezuela. 442 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 3: What about fair and free elections? What's your sense and 443 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: a timeline there? Obviously everything's fluid, But is the plan 444 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 3: here to have Delsea, Rodriguez and others play nice Because 445 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 3: you got the Defense minister and many other bad dudes there, 446 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: so how are they I can't imagine them playing nice 447 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 3: for long. I mean, maybe they will because Trump's got 448 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: the ultimate trump card here, But then what about fair 449 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 3: and free elections? And what about Maria Corino, Machada and others. Yeah, 450 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: I'm trying. I'm blanking on the other. The person's name 451 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 3: that one Edmund Sorry I forgot his name, but anyhow, 452 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 3: that guy too. 453 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 7: What about that? 454 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 19: Well, the opposition now is on reserve. I think that 455 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 19: the Trump plan is to ask Machado and the others 456 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 19: to be on reserve meaning waiting. 457 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 20: But he's going to use them. 458 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 19: He's going to use them for informations and use them 459 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 19: to start placing administrators inside Venezuela. 460 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 20: All of this under the mandate that America took on 461 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 20: its own. 462 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 19: But with regard the end product is going to be 463 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 19: an election, I don't think it's going to be an 464 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 19: election in one two three months. It's going to take 465 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 19: probably six months to one year for any election to 466 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 19: be possible. Because you know, they have something also called 467 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 19: the deep state there. 468 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 20: You can cut a deal with. 469 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 19: Them or you're going to make sure that every position, 470 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 19: including with regard to security opparatus. Remember in Venezuela there 471 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 19: is Hezbola, the the Iranian or the Islamic regime of 472 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 19: Iran people. You have connection with the cartels in Mexico. 473 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 19: All of that is going to go through interviewing the 474 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 19: arrested president. He is going to give them so much information. 475 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 19: Based on this information, they will be us action. 476 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 3: Very interesting. Well, I could ask so many more questions 477 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 3: abou Venezuela, but let me move to Iran. Obviously, this 478 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 3: is something that you have covered and are extremely well 479 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 3: versed in for decades and decades. Where is this going? 480 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 3: You have a run supreme leader, the iatola like Amiee, 481 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: blasting protesters across the country, calling them rioters, urging security 482 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 3: forces to crack down. Where is this heading? Exactly? Do 483 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 3: you think this regime ultimately falls or is this a 484 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: false alarm? 485 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,479 Speaker 19: That's the greatest question of the day. Actually, there are 486 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 19: two major players. On the one hand, you have the 487 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 19: demonstrators on the ground in Iran and they are making progress, 488 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 19: progress that we have not seen when they started, when 489 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 19: Iranian population demonstrated in two thousand and nine, and when 490 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 19: the former President of the United States Obama said, chows, 491 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 19: actually the regime send a letter to the Grande aetola 492 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 19: instead of addressing the population. That's a massive difference between 493 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 19: the Obama doctrine and the Trump doctrine. But second, nowadays 494 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 19: they have shifted the population is seizing control of police 495 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 19: stations of municipalities. This is something we haven't seen before. 496 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 19: But the moment meant when their wall street, meaning the bazaar, 497 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 19: has shifted, and it did last week, one can guess 498 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 19: that they're going to be going forward. The regime is 499 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 19: preparing to crack on them.

We're 614 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: expecting that Nicholas Maduro's attorneys are going to argue that 615 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: the US doesn't really have the right to arrest him, 616 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: and that because he is a sovereign leader of another country, 617 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: that he can't even be try here in the United States. 618 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: I suspect that's what much of the arguing today is 619 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: going to center around. 620 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: Good morning, Terrence. 621 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 21: We're outside of the Daniel Patrick moynihan Courthouse, US District 622 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 21: Court in Lower Manhattan, a five hundred Pearl Street here 623 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 21: in a frozen security zone and with frozen but US 624 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 21: Marshall's big police presence, very tight security down here. He's 625 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 21: going to be arraigned today at about noontime in front 626 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 21: of Judge Hellestein in courtroom fourteen C or D. 627 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 2: Here. 628 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 21: He's a ninety two year old Bill Clinton appointee who 629 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 21: has consistently ruled against Trump. Last year, Hallenstein blocked Trump's 630 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 21: use of the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight 631 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 21: to the Porta Ledger Trende at Agua gang members, and 632 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 21: then he also refused to move Donald Trump's Hushborny trial 633 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 21: from state to federal court. But this case goes all 634 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 21: the way back to twenty eleven under Judge Hellstein here 635 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 21: where the cartest de la Soles or Cartel of the Sons, 636 00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 21: involving high ranking military Venezuelan officials were in die El Poyo. 637 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 14: The chicken top. 638 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 21: General Hugo Armando Barrios was just convicted and he's going 639 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 21: to be sentenced in a couple of days from here. 640 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 21: So this is a fifteen year old case here, and yeah, 641 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 21: they'll probably make that argument, but remember Noriega lost that 642 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 21: argument even though he was a recognized head of state 643 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 21: right back then, and Madera's not recognized that way, So 644 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 21: you know that argument was lost back on the bush 645 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 21: with Panama. So I'm not confident Medoro's will win on 646 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 21: those grounds here. But early this morning, Nicholas Maduo and 647 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 21: Celia Flores were flown over by chopper from the Metropolitan 648 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 21: Detention Center, home to Luigi Mangione, where we had El Choppo. 649 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 21: Puffy Combs was sohunned.

Behind you you said it's 677 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: a frozen security zone. Talk about the security that's in 678 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: place there, and if protesters have already arrived. 679 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 21: Well, there's multiple drones above. There are helicopters everywhere, and 680 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 21: again the helicopter Nicholas Medoro and Celia Flora is the 681 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 21: first time they've been united since they arrived in New York, 682 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 21: I believe, or since his arrest in Venezuela. 683 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 14: There is very heavy security. 684 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 21: I don't see any signs of protesters down here on 685 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 21: the other side of the building, going out towards City 686 00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 21: Hall and out onto Lafayette Street and Center Street. There 687 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 21: may be some stuff there later. I'm gonna check it out. 688 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 21: I tried to get into the arraignment, but the rooms 689 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 21: are full. I may get into an overflow room later. 690 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 21: There are some protesters right over here, but I don't 691 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 21: see many of them. Yeah, there's a little pen behind 692 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 21: us where they may be protesters gathering here. But again, 693 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 21: even some Democrats are in agreement with what happened because 694 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 21: of this sitting indictment not only since twenty twenty, but 695 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 21: there's ongoing case for the Southern District of New York 696 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 21: under doj under PAMBONDI. Now you know it should be 697 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,399 Speaker 21: interesting and we'll bring you more details throughout the day. 698 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 12: Sounds good, David Zeer, Thank you so much. We will 699 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 12: see you again in the nine am hour. Well, coming up, 700 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 12: the Mendani era has begun in. 701 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 6: New York City. What orders has he already signed? We 702 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 6: break that down next on American Sunrise. 703 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 9: Welcome back to American Sunrise. 704 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 11: Coffee pods are easy, but most of them are just 705 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 11: caffeine and nothing else. Rejuvenate pods are built differently. They're 706 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 11: clean pods and fused with CAAAKG, a compound link to longevity, 707 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 11: metabolism and deep cellular energy. It's the easiest way to 708 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 11: get better, focused, smoother energy, and long term benefits without 709 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 11: changing your routine. I choose them because they match the lifestyle. 710 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 11: I want more energy, more clarity, and more intention in 711 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 11: how I start my day. 712 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 9: If you're going to drink coffee anyway, make it one 713 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 9: that actually supports the life that you're building. 714 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 11: Head you seventeen seventy five coffee dot com, slash rav 715 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 11: and try rejuvenate pods today. 716 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 9: Don't just drink coffee. Rejuvenate all right. 717 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 11: Now that we are caffeinated, it's time stay awake, not woke. 718 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 11: And apparently no amount of triple shot jet fueled espresso 719 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 11: can shake the woke out of New York City. Mayor 720 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 11: zoron Mam Donnie. Day one on the job, and it's 721 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 11: straight to the delete. 722 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 6: Key. 723 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 11: Support for Israel that's gone, the definition of anti Semitism 724 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 11: that's also gone. Public safety buffer zones Sea those are 725 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 11: gone too. Here's what Israel said on X calling it 726 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,280 Speaker 11: quote anti Semitic gasoline on an open fire. Not exactly 727 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 11: a welcome parade, the woke explanation, free speech and the 728 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 11: reality free chaos. Welcome to big city woke politics. Where 729 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 11: day one is about signaling virtue, in day two is 730 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 11: about explaining. 731 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 9: The mess so who had day one mess on their 732 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 9: bingo card. 733 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 11: Let's now bring in Alison and Terrence for further discussion. Alison, 734 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 11: I think we all saw this coming this. We knew 735 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 11: this was going to be a train wreck when mom 736 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 11: Donnie was elected. 737 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 12: I can't believe that he was elected in the first place. 738 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 12: And I think it's really we're just going to have 739 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 12: to pay attention to what happens in the next couple 740 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 12: of months because the question that I have is how 741 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 12: much power does he really have and putting in orders 742 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 12: and then how much can the city council fight back 743 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 12: and will they fight back on anything? 744 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 6: So we just don't really know. The proof is going 745 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 6: to be in the putting. 746 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 12: It's like if something happens in terms of a police action, Okay, 747 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 12: there is a crime that goes down and you have 748 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 12: the social worker who shows up, what's going to happen. 749 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 6: There are so many. 750 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 12: Unknown variables at this point, and I think we're just going. 751 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 6: To be paying attention to what unravels. 752 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 12: I think it's just going to be chaos and we 753 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 12: can't even perceive what's going to happen. 754 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 6: That's my take. 755 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,720 Speaker 1: Zora Mondami is who he said he is, We shouldn't 756 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: be surprised because he told you exactly what he's going 757 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: to do, and New York voters sided with that when 758 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: they voted for him. And elections have consequences, and the 759 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: city is now going to feel those consequences. 760 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 2: While Zoron Mondami is moving forward. 761 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: With his policies, I believe that the impact of those 762 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: policies won't be felt for some time. But he's also 763 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: creating an atmosphere for New Yorkers which can really be divisive. 764 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: And it's something that particularly for the city's Jewish population, 765 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 1: which is a very significant and large population, is of concern. 766 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: And so again, Zoron Mondami is who he said he is, 767 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: and so now the city is going to have to 768 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: live with the consequences of that election. Hopefully those consequences 769 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: won't be felt wide and far, but they are going 770 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: to be felt. 771 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you're spot on, Terrence. 772 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 11: It certainly is going to take some time before those 773 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 11: policies are felt. So at this point it almost feels 774 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 11: like messaging. And what is he doing on day one? 775 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 11: I mean, this is his priorities, And like you said, 776 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 11: you know, he's not hiding. He always said he was 777 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 11: going to be this person. But it's just interesting to 778 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 11: see the difference in messaging on the topic of Israel 779 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 11: and support for the Jewish community of what Mandami is 780 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 11: doing in New York as opposed to President Trump at 781 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 11: mar Lago on New Year's Eve, side by side with 782 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 11: Natan Yahoo. Just really interesting to see the difference there. 783 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 12: Ellison, Yeah, absolutely, And when I look at this whole mess, 784 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 12: and that's what it is, a mess. I look at 785 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 12: the election itself. I don't know what the numbers are, 786 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 12: but a very small population in New York comes out 787 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 12: to actually cast their vote on election day. I think 788 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 12: if you really look at who voted this guy in, 789 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 12: it would be very small. And I think it says 790 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 12: a lot about our vote and how important it is 791 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 12: and for all of us to get out and use 792 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 12: it and think of it as a sacred, a sacred 793 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 12: element of our lives, because this is what happens when 794 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,240 Speaker 12: you don't vote. 795 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, this is what patient is key Absolutely all right. 796 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 11: Coming up next, Rabbi Jason silvil rais in on Mandani's 797 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 11: ascent to mayor, his first of it's kind swearing in 798 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 11: and what it means not just for Jewish New Yorkers, 799 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 11: but for all Americans that in more is next. American 800 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 11: Sunrise continues, Bless the US. 801 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 7: In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. 802 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 2: Welcome back to American Sunrise. 803 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: It is now time for our moment of faith, which 804 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,439 Speaker 1: is brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God. 805 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 2: Bless the USA. 806 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: Bible in focus today faith, power and symbolism. New York's 807 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: new mayor, Zora on Mondami, was sworn into office on 808 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: a Quran, which is a first in the city's history. 809 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: The oath was legal, the symbolism was intentional, though, and 810 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: after a campaign critical of Israel, Jewish communities are watching 811 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: and wondering what comes next. Joining me now is Rabbi 812 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: Jason Soble. He's the author of Transformed by the Messiah. 813 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: We've got a QR that we're going to put on 814 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 1: your screen where you can get more information about that book. 815 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 2: Rabbi Sobel, good to see you. Welcome. 816 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,439 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the book here shortly, but first let's 817 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: talk about zoron Mondommie. I'm just going to ask you 818 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 1: straight out, do you feel that his election and the 819 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: way he went about taking his oath of office was 820 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: a direct attack at New York's Jewish population and Jewish community. 821 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 22: Look, I think it's very concerning because public oaths are 822 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,240 Speaker 22: acts of power, it's not private faith and power always 823 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 22: speaks and symbols and what he by using the Qur'an. 824 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 22: The issue is not is it allowed, it's what does 825 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 22: it signal? It's about what comes next? And this didn't 826 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 22: happen in a vacuum. He refused to condemn statements like 827 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 22: globalize the Intafada. 828 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 7: One of his. 829 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 22: First acts was changing a definition of anti Semitism, and 830 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 22: he's had other past controversial statements with the the rise 831 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,479 Speaker 22: of anti Semitism in New York. So it is very 832 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 22: concerning what he's done, and it should raise our eyebrow 833 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 22: and really cause us to stand up and take notice. 834 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: So you caught my attention when you said what comes next? 835 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: What do you predict will come next? Out of zoramandam 836 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: you chuckle? So I suspect you have an idea. 837 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 22: Yeah, Look, I think clearly there's going to be a 838 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 22: rise of anti Israel sentiment coming from him, policies that 839 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 22: are negative towards Israel. But the problem is it's not 840 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 22: just about being critical of the Israeli government. I think 841 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 22: his anti Zionism in many ways reflects a deeper sense 842 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 22: of anti Semitism. 843 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 7: And so look, I grew up in New York. I 844 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 7: love New York. 845 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 22: I believe it's only going to get worse. And I 846 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 22: believe the Bible speaks about these things clearly about how 847 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 22: in the end of day's rise of radical Islam is 848 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 22: going to be one of the direct challenges to a 849 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 22: biblical faith, Christian faith, and the Judeo Christian worldview. 850 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,879 Speaker 1: I said that we would talk a bit about your 851 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: book Transformed by the Messiah. How can it be potentially 852 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: used as a guide to help alleviate some of the 853 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,280 Speaker 1: stress that your fellow Jewish New Yorkers might be feeling. 854 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 1: How can it maybe be a guide to bring the 855 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: community all of New York together in light of some 856 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: of what we expect to be anti Semitism coming out 857 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: of Zoramandami in his administration. 858 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean absolutely. 859 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 22: One of the reasons why we wrote the book is 860 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 22: that we want people to have hope, is the belief 861 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 22: that our future is going to be better than our past. 862 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 22: We don't have to live in fear. The fact that 863 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 22: Jesus claimed to be the Jewish Messiah that he was 864 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,240 Speaker 22: King of the Jews just reminds us that God cares 865 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 22: about the Jewish people, and that he inextricably ties his 866 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 22: fate to the history and destiny of the Jewish people. 867 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 22: And so therefore, you know, Christians should care about the 868 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 22: Jewish people and about the Judeo Christian foundation on which 869 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,320 Speaker 22: this nation was founded. 870 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 7: That's what's under attack right now. 871 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 1: Rabbi Sobol, I have twenty more questions that we could 872 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,720 Speaker 1: go twenty more minutes. Unfortunately we don't have that time, 873 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: so we'll have to leave it there. Always good to 874 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: see you and always good to. 875 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 2: Talk with you. 876 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 7: Thank you, Happy New Year. 877 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you as well.

But there's been a lot of 923 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 21: talk and even Cato Institute Clark Nearly recently wrote, federal 924 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 21: courts held in the past the manner in which a 925 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 21: defendant is brought before a US court, even by force, 926 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 21: even from foreign soil, does not It doesn't defeat criminal jurisdiction, 927 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 21: and prosecutors may rely on a nineteen eighty nine memo 928 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 21: from Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel Bill Barr at 929 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 21: the time claiming that a president has inherent constitutional authority 930 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 21: to order the FBI to take people into custody in 931 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,879 Speaker 21: foreign countries even if they violated international law. So it'll 932 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 21: be really interesting to see see how this plays out. 933 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 21: And again we have Judge Hellerstein, ninety two year old 934 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 21: Clinton appointee judge who has ruled against Donald Trump several 935 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 21: times about deporting trend de Aragua and other things, including 936 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 21: moving the hush money trial from state to federal court. 937 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 21: He denied that, so we'll see how this goes. But 938 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 21: the prosecution, Amanda Hoole, is a key prosecutor in the 939 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 21: original twenty twenty indictment of Nicholas Medoro, and she's currently 940 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 21: the criminal chief in the Manhattan's US Attorney office, so 941 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 21: it'll be really interesting. But some of these charges today 942 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 21: include narco terrorism, conspiracy alleging a twenty five year relationship 943 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 21: with FARK, you know, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia 944 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 21: and other groups, and a conspiracy to flood the US 945 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,400 Speaker 21: with drugs, and and other charges like corruption and violence. 946 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 21: So it'll be really interesting as this case moves forward. 947 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,919 Speaker 21: And I just wanted to add Terrence. A Barbarios known 948 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 21: as El Poyo, was recently convicted here from going back 949 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 21: to the twenty eleven indictment regarding the Costa de la Soles, 950 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,959 Speaker 21: the cartel of the Suns in a conspiracy gull going 951 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,280 Speaker 21: all the way back to nineteen ninety nine to flood 952 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 21: the US with drugs. Prosecution is going to try to 953 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 21: tie that all together in this case, David. 954 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 2: Let's broaden the scope a little bit. 955 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: What sort of message out regionally there in the Caribbean 956 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,760 Speaker 1: and in South America does the arrest of Nicholas Maduro 957 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 1: and the ultimate prosecution what we expect will be a prosecution. 958 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 1: What the message does it send to other countries like Columbia, 959 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 1: some of those other dictators and countries that are involved 960 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 1: in narco terrorism in narco trafficking. 961 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,280 Speaker 21: I think it's a clear message that the US won't 962 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 21: tolerate that. And these boat strikes and Defense War Department policy, 963 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 21: if there's an imminent threat to the United States, they 964 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 21: feel they have the right to stop these boats from 965 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 21: coming over here. That, combined with this arrest and the 966 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 21: mada of the dozen or so ships that we have 967 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 21: down there, as a clear signal that we're not going 968 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 21: to tolerate it. Now Colombia has the highest trafficking of 969 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 21: cocaine production ever right now. And you know that economy 970 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 21: in Venezuela was an agrarian economy because they destroyed the 971 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 21: oil industry. I think there were only a twenty percent 972 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,240 Speaker 21: capacity in producing oil, so you know, like three hundred 973 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 21: thousand barols a day or less, or when it could 974 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 21: be millions, and they can't process it because it's not 975 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 21: good quality oil and we have the refineries to do it. 976 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,359 Speaker 2: So Meduro's ruined that. 977 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,320 Speaker 21: So they're relying on cocaine money and other money to 978 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 21: keep the economy going. 979 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 2: I think. 980 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 21: So this will be a real hit in the wallet 981 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 21: for these countries that want to participate in narco trafficking 982 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 21: and they have to restore that oil industry down there 983 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 21: to be profitable again. 984 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:51,720 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 985 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 1: David Zer reporting in Lower Manhattan.

The court appearance comes 1002 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,320 Speaker 1: just days after a US led operation removed Maduro from 1003 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: power and then flew him out of Venezuela to the 1004 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: United States to face his charges. 1005 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,280 Speaker 2: If you're looking at the video of him being. 1006 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 1: Escorted here in handcuffs and all of that, this follows 1007 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: months of planning and pressure from the Trump administration. Let's 1008 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 1: bring in for reaction Minnesota Senate candidate and the hosts 1009 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 1: of the Royce White Show on rav Royce White, Royce 1010 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,359 Speaker 1: get to see the ladies also joining us here your 1011 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,879 Speaker 1: reaction to what's happened with Nicholas Maduro. And I think, 1012 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 1: really at this point, what precedent it sets, what tone 1013 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,000 Speaker 1: it sets for the Trump administration and for other countries 1014 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 1: who are narco trafficking. 1015 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 7: I absolutely love it. 1016 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 23: You know, since the twenty twenty four campaign, I've been 1017 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 23: a huge advocate of the hemispheric defense and I think 1018 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 23: some of our other regional neighbors better pick a side. 1019 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 23: I mean, we're in an asymmetrical war with the CCP, 1020 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 23: There's no. 1021 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 7: Doubt about it. 1022 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 23: Anybody, even in the MAGA movement or America First movement, 1023 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 23: who doesn't acknowledge the seriousness of the growing geopolitical conflict 1024 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,920 Speaker 23: isn't ready for what's really happening in this country and 1025 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,240 Speaker 23: around the world. Hemispheric Defense is one hundred percent America 1026 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 23: First and MAGA, and I'm in full support of the extradition. 1027 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:57,000 Speaker 9: Of Maduro Royce. Noticing your hats there. 1028 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 11: Your home state has been rocked by scandal after scandal 1029 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 11: over the past few weeks. More recently, an empty daycare 1030 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,360 Speaker 11: center with a misspelled sign went viral, putting more pressure 1031 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 11: on Governor Tim Walls. This is one of the most 1032 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 11: egregious stories that I've seen. Riy, So, where can you 1033 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 11: tell us about the fraud schemes coming out of Minnesota 1034 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:13,839 Speaker 11: right now? 1035 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,319 Speaker 23: Well, I think the greatest emission of guilt will be 1036 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 23: if Governor Tim Waltz drops out of his re election 1037 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,359 Speaker 23: bid today in Minnesota, which rumors are swirling that he's 1038 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 23: expected to do so even as early as you know, 1039 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 23: seven six o'clock this morning. I saw that allegedly he 1040 00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 23: met with Senator Amy Klobashar, who will likely be the 1041 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,320 Speaker 23: candidate to step in for the twenty twenty six governor 1042 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 23: race here in Minnesota. And then they find themselves in 1043 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 23: a good position where she can probably reappoint Governor Tim 1044 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 23: Waltz as the United States Senator, so that you know, 1045 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 23: all eyes on Minnesota again. I've been saying for two 1046 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,880 Speaker 23: years now, it's the belly of the beast. It's the 1047 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 23: you know, it should be the focal point of American 1048 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 23: politics and Democrat corruption. I'm glad the entire nation is 1049 00:56:58,960 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 23: getting to watch now. 1050 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,520 Speaker 12: Okay, Royce, My head is spinning there with what you 1051 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,240 Speaker 12: just said. So, okay, can you go here again? Amy 1052 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 12: Klobashar would possibly step in and then sre a point, 1053 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 12: I mean, that's bananas. 1054 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 23: Well, Well, if she wins as a city and US 1055 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 23: senator and she's the governor, her seat will be vacant 1056 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 23: and the governor gets to appoint the US sendancy. That's 1057 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 23: how Tina Smith ended up being appointed initially amid the 1058 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 23: Senator Al Franken scandal when she was appointed, and you 1059 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 23: know now she's resigning. She's not going to go back 1060 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 23: to the US Senate. So all lies on Minnesota. I 1061 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 23: expect Governor Tim Waltz to drop out of his reelection 1062 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,439 Speaker 23: bid today and announce that, which is a great sign. 1063 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 23: It's a great sign for Minnesota Republicans in the country 1064 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 23: in general. It means the DFL, the DNC, and the 1065 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 23: donors recognize that the grave error they made with Tim 1066 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 23: Waltz as a VP candidate, and how Minnesota is going 1067 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 23: to start to unravel the Democrat already at a fundamental 1068 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 23: level all across the country for twenty twenty six. 1069 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,400 Speaker 6: Human I'm sorry, go ahead, go ahead. 1070 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 2: Go ahead, go ahead. 1071 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 6: I'm just wondering, Royce. 1072 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 12: I mean, you have always talked about the corruption in Minnesota. 1073 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 12: Now we are all seeing it. Did you even understand 1074 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:24,479 Speaker 12: how deep it was when these Nick Shurally videos came out? 1075 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 12: Were you surprised at all? Or is this just something 1076 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 12: you knew all along? 1077 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 7: In Minnesota? 1078 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 23: It's always been you know, spoken in hush tones somewhat 1079 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 23: that there was huge fraud in the Somila community, specifically 1080 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 23: with the daycares and some of the other government you know, 1081 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 23: subsidies that that we've seen across years. Many many of 1082 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 23: us have watched it, you know, up close and personal. 1083 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 23: You never quite know when ten plus billion dollars have 1084 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 23: been frauded. I mean, the number is obscenely high, but speculator, 1085 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 23: I mean, look at Ilhan Omar. And I don't mean 1086 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,959 Speaker 23: to say ilan Omar represents the entire Mamali community, because 1087 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 23: that would be ridiculous, But she does represent what the 1088 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 23: Somali community in Minnesota is willing to allow to represent them, 1089 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 23: and that speaks valumes and it's the same that I 1090 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 23: would say of my own community, the Black community. And 1091 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,880 Speaker 23: we allow Barack Obama to represent us. Right now, it 1092 00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 23: appears that we are on track to let Jasmine Crockett 1093 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 23: represent us, and there are consequences in judgment that should 1094 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 23: come with that. The Somali community, and I've said this 1095 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 23: on my show the last couple of weeks. The answers 1096 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 23: to Somalia are not in Minnesota. They're not in Minneapolis, 1097 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 23: They're in Mogadishu. Somalia is still one of the most 1098 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 23: unstable nations in the entire world. Failed state by all measures, 1099 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 23: and one of the biggest economic one of the biggest 1100 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 23: pieces of their economy are remittances from the United States, 1101 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 23: Minnesota obviously being ground zero. So the Somali community has 1102 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 23: take some accountability for what's happening in Somalia, in the 1103 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 23: Somali community and US here as Americans have to be 1104 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 23: courageous enough to speak about it, especially person like myself 1105 00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 23: going into the twenty six midterms here in Minnesota. 1106 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 2: Royce back to Tim Walls really quickly. 1107 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 1: He is set to host a news conference at about 1108 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock your time. That's where we expect he will 1109 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,919 Speaker 1: announce his intentions, whatever they may be. And I heard 1110 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 1: you loud and clear that you believe that he and 1111 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 1: Amy Klobershar are probably plotting something. But is there not 1112 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 1: also an opportunity here if in fact, he does decide 1113 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 1: not to run for reelection for Republicans in your state. 1114 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 1: And part B of that question, what do you think 1115 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 1: national the National Republican Party should be doing now to 1116 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: try to make sure that there is a switch that 1117 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Minnesota becomes more conservative or at least more Republican. 1118 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 23: Well, you know, Minnesota is a conservative and Republican state, 1119 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 23: and the elections don't bear that. We have to get 1120 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 23: some help here in Minnesota to make sure our elections 1121 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 23: are clean and safe and secure. I don't think that 1122 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 23: they are. I mean, if the fraud is that bad 1123 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 23: with this, you know, feeding our future and all the 1124 01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 23: other government subsidies, imagine how our elections are. You can 1125 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 23: vote online with no ID, you can vote online with 1126 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 23: no proof of citizenship. I mean, so the Minnesota elections 1127 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 23: aren't secure. That's number one. Number two, it's estimated that 1128 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,760 Speaker 23: close to a million Christians and Conservatives didn't even cast 1129 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 23: a ballot in Minnesota in twenty twenty four. So that 1130 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 23: tells you that Minnesota is actually a conservative state. We 1131 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 23: have bought into the narrative that Minnesota is a heavy, heavy, 1132 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 23: blue and trench state, and part of that is the 1133 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 23: problem with the Republicans, and I think the National Republican 1134 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 23: Party has aided in that narrative by not being active 1135 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 23: enough in Minnesota. So whether Tim Waltz decides to drop 1136 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,880 Speaker 23: out or not, Tim Waltz is a Christmas present for 1137 01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 23: Minnesota Republicans if he does drop out. If he does 1138 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,440 Speaker 23: drop out, it presents a huge opportunity for fellow Maga 1139 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,920 Speaker 23: friend of mine Mike Lindale now in the race, and 1140 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 23: also myself running for US Senate. 1141 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Royce will have to leave the conversation there. It's always 1142 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 1: good to see you and always good to talk with you. 1143 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 9: Thanks Royce. 1144 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 23: God bless you guys, God to speak to you, bless 1145 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 23: you as well. 1146 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 1: Remember, folks, The Royce White Show airs every Saturday morning 1147 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 1: at nine am right here on Real America's Voice.

In an interview on Meet the Press, 1156 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 11: Green argued that going after Maduro doesn't serve US interests, 1157 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 11: does little to address the fentanyl crisis at home, and 1158 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 11: feels like a return to what she calls Washington's old 1159 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 11: foreign policy playbook. 1160 01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 9: Take a look at this. 1161 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 24: And I want to see domestic priorities that put Americans 1162 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,880 Speaker 24: first in regards of healthcare, health insurance costs too much, 1163 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 24: car insurance, home insurance, and these are issues that matter 1164 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 24: to Americans. We don't consider Venezuela our neighborhood. Our neighborhood 1165 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 24: is right here in the fifty United States. 1166 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 11: Green's comments highlight a growing ideological divide within the Mega 1167 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,680 Speaker 11: Coalition between those who support a more aggressive global posture 1168 01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 11: and those who say the priority should remain squarely on 1169 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 11: domestic issues inside the United States. For more, let's bring 1170 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,960 Speaker 11: in Allison and David Brody. David want to go to 1171 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 11: you first on this one. What are your thoughts on MTG. 1172 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 3: Well, I got a lot of thoughts, but I'll try 1173 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 3: to keep it within thirty seconds or so you can 1174 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,240 Speaker 3: walk into at the same time. I mean, you can 1175 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 3: do domestic priorities and also do what President Trump did 1176 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 3: in Venezuela. I support it, by the way, I support 1177 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 3: what he what he does, what he did here. You 1178 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,040 Speaker 3: know a lot of people are calling this the Dondre 1179 01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:20,400 Speaker 3: doctrine rather than the Monroe doctrine, because he's basically reinvented 1180 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 3: the Monroe doctrine. To a degree, which basically says, you know, 1181 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 3: we all learned about the Monroe doctrine in high school 1182 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 3: right or before that. But just to give everybody a refresher, 1183 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 3: I mean, the Monero doctrine basically says, we're not going 1184 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,680 Speaker 3: to have bad neighbors. The United States is not going 1185 01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 3: to have bad actors, excuse me, in the Western hemisphere, 1186 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,880 Speaker 3: in our zone of influence, in the US zone of influence. 1187 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 3: And that's what China's doing, that's what Rush is doing, 1188 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 3: that's what Iran is doing inside Venezuela. And so because 1189 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 3: of that, President Trump says, look, this is Maga, this 1190 01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 3: is America first, because you can't have those bad actors 1191 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 3: close to our borders. Venezuela is not that far from 1192 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,280 Speaker 3: the United States. Compared to our rock and the folks 1193 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 3: and other country using the Middle East, it's much different 1194 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,880 Speaker 3: Middle East is It's an apples and oranges scenario. Not 1195 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 3: to mention the fact, guys, that you've got drugs coming 1196 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 3: in this country, cocaine through Venezuela mostly, and then you 1197 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 3: of course have trend to Ragua and many bad dudes 1198 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,760 Speaker 3: coming in from Venezuela too. So this all affects American 1199 01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 3: America and American citizenry. So that's kind of the way 1200 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 3: I see it. I'm curious to get your takes as well. 1201 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,959 Speaker 12: Well, I'll do all right, Well, no, Terrence, go ahead, 1202 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 12: Terrence Police. 1203 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 1: Okay, I'll just add the David. I think you largely 1204 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head that one can do 1205 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,680 Speaker 1: two things. You can still focus on domestic policy, but 1206 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,000 Speaker 1: there's an argument, to me be made, and I think 1207 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 1: it's a fair argument that the situation in Venezuela and 1208 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:51,760 Speaker 1: the narco terrorism coming out of Venezuela also affects American communities, 1209 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 1: and so to address it is also to address something 1210 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: that affects American the American citizens citizen re excuse me 1211 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: as you use, but also has national implications here in 1212 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: the United States, and so the President is focusing on both. Yes, 1213 01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green is right, people's health insurance is a concern. 1214 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 1: But people here in the United States and communities all 1215 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 1: across this country are also concerned about the drugs that 1216 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 1: are flooding into this community and into this country, and 1217 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: more importantly, the deaths that result. 1218 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 2: From those drugs. 1219 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 1: And so I think both absolutely work and both are 1220 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:25,720 Speaker 1: an issue. 1221 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, really, well said there, Terrence. 1222 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,680 Speaker 11: All right, coming up, we're headed down to Wall Street 1223 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 11: for the opening bell and insight into how to hold 1224 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 11: on to your heart earned dollars with some common sense. 1225 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 11: We'll be back with more American Sunrise in just two minutes. 1226 01:06:35,920 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 25: Stay with us at Real America's Voice. 1227 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 15: We know that you want to be a part of 1228 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,840 Speaker 15: something bigger.

As the 1260 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 3: founder of Storm Wall Advisors, Michael Wilkerson, Michael, good morning 1261 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 3: to you. So let's talk about the big news obviously, 1262 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 3: is Maduro's austein and Venezuela, and that of course has 1263 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,360 Speaker 3: the world's largest They have the world's largest oil reserves. 1264 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,960 Speaker 3: So analysts are saying that austein Maduro won't have a 1265 01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,559 Speaker 3: big impact on the energy markets. Now Here was Secretary 1266 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 3: of State Mark or Rubio speaking about oil and all 1267 01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 3: of this yesterday, have we. 1268 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 13: We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil 1269 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 13: in the United States. What we're not going to allow 1270 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 13: is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled 1271 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,160 Speaker 13: by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand 1272 01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,599 Speaker 13: why does China need their oil, Why does Russia need 1273 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 13: their oil, Why does it Ron need their oil. They're 1274 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 13: not even in this continent. This is the Western Hemisphere. 1275 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,040 Speaker 13: This is where we live, and we're not going to 1276 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 13: allow the Western Hemisphere to be a base of operation 1277 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,320 Speaker 13: for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. 1278 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 3: Michael, curious to get your take. By the way, on 1279 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 3: a separate note, I watched Rubio on all those Sunday 1280 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,600 Speaker 3: Shues shows yesterday. What a masterclass, FYI, But go ahead. 1281 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 7: He did an amazing job. 1282 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:44,680 Speaker 26: I think the thing that we have to realize here 1283 01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,160 Speaker 26: there are two issues going on, one the geopolitics to 1284 01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,879 Speaker 26: the geoeconomics, the impact of the markets. 1285 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 7: You asked about that. Let me hit that. 1286 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 26: First to say that Venezuela is irrelevant to us today. 1287 01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 26: America has a lot of oil prices or low. It's 1288 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 26: unfortunate because when the Communists stick over under Yugo Chavez Venezuela, 1289 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,679 Speaker 26: Venezuela's oil industry fell apart. They used to produce three 1290 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 26: to three and a half million barrels a year. That 1291 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 26: fell to about eight hundred thousand, roughly at twenty five 1292 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 26: percent of their capacity, because they ex appropriated and nationalized 1293 01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,679 Speaker 26: all of the oil companies that were there to help 1294 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 26: them extract this very heavy crude that is not easy 1295 01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,439 Speaker 26: to clean and not easy to use. In the long 1296 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,720 Speaker 26: long run, having more oil on the market will help 1297 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 26: keep prices low. That's great for American consumers. It will 1298 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 26: help stabilize those markets internationally. More importantly, Secretary Rubio's point 1299 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 26: is that this is our neighborhood. And you know, when 1300 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,760 Speaker 26: you don't have a fence around your farm and your neighborhood, 1301 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,040 Speaker 26: the wolves come in. And we've seen over the last 1302 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,879 Speaker 26: few years the wolves come in and they've taken advantage 1303 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 26: of our livestock and our children, so to speak. And 1304 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,479 Speaker 26: that needed to stop. And Venezuela is one of the 1305 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 26: main outposts of that of that flow of drugs of 1306 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 26: other things and military capability that was being built up 1307 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 26: there over time, So this is about real politic and 1308 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 26: the benefit to the market should be favorable. 1309 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 3: What about the real time on all of this, In 1310 01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,680 Speaker 3: other words, do you see the markets being affected in 1311 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,439 Speaker 3: the in the next week or two or is this 1312 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 3: going to take some time to kind of have everything 1313 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,000 Speaker 3: kind of figured out as to what the next moves 1314 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 3: are here, because you've got oil companies that have to 1315 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 3: figure out that. I'm sure they want to go down 1316 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:31,439 Speaker 3: there obviously, but then again that oil infrastructure is just 1317 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 3: in tatters, so this is going to take some time. 1318 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 3: I'm curious to kind of get your timetable on all 1319 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:37,040 Speaker 3: of this. 1320 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,640 Speaker 26: Yeah, I think the only short term effect is a 1321 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 26: psychological one, and as you appreciate, that could go up 1322 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,559 Speaker 26: or down, favorable or unfavorable. It's going to take three 1323 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:50,160 Speaker 26: to five years to really get the production capacity back online, 1324 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,120 Speaker 26: so no actual tangible effect in the next couple of years. 1325 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 3: All right, Well, Michael Wilkerson, great to have you. You know, 1326 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:01,519 Speaker 3: we had so much other discussion points today on other topics, 1327 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,679 Speaker 3: but thanks a lot, Nicholas Maduro.

President Trump's decision to escalate military 1388 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:10,799 Speaker 1: action against Venezuela is raising questions about what America First 1389 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 1: really means and whether some of his most loyal supporters 1390 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:16,080 Speaker 1: are starting to sour. 1391 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:37,040 Speaker 2: On forty seven, that debate is coming up to Welcome 1392 01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:38,240 Speaker 2: back to American Sunrise. 1393 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm Terrence Bates, as always, we appreciate you being here 1394 01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,080 Speaker 1: with us. We also want to invite you to join 1395 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 1: the conversation on Getter Rumble as well as YouTube. It 1396 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,600 Speaker 1: is now time, though, to take the political pulse of America, 1397 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 1: and the beat today has to do with President Trump's 1398 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 1: decision to oust and detain Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro. 1399 01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,639 Speaker 2: It's opening a new and increasingly. 1400 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 1: Visible rift within the President's own political coalition. Some Trump 1401 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,960 Speaker 1: supporters see the decision as a necessary show of strength 1402 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:11,879 Speaker 1: tied to narcotics trafficking and regional security. Others, however, including 1403 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: prominent MAGA lined voices, warned that the move risk pulling 1404 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:19,520 Speaker 1: the United States into another open ended nation building exercise 1405 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 1: with unclear objectives. The divide echoes earlier tensions within the 1406 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:28,799 Speaker 1: Magabase over military action abroad, and it reflects a broader 1407 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:33,160 Speaker 1: debate inside the Republican Party about whether American power should 1408 01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:38,400 Speaker 1: be used dessertively overseas or restrained in order to avoid entanglements. 1409 01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:42,439 Speaker 1: As fallout continues, the question now is whether this is 1410 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:46,439 Speaker 1: a temporary disagreement or a deeper fracture between the President 1411 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,720 Speaker 1: and the movement that helped return. 1412 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,639 Speaker 2: Him to the White House for more. 1413 01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:54,320 Speaker 1: Let's bring in David Brody and Alison Hans to discuss. Allison, 1414 01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 1: I'd love to get your perspective on. 1415 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:56,519 Speaker 2: All of this. 1416 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 10: Well. 1417 01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,640 Speaker 12: I really loved what Royce White had to say a 1418 01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 12: short time ago. He said, hemispheric defense is America first. 1419 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,080 Speaker 6: I found that very interesting. 1420 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:13,560 Speaker 12: Because there are things that are happening over in Venezuela 1421 01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:19,640 Speaker 12: that were and continue to directly affect the lives of Americans. 1422 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,960 Speaker 12: So I think if we look at it from that perspective, 1423 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 12: it is America first. What I would caution people in 1424 01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:31,880 Speaker 12: the party in Maga and America first to do is 1425 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,360 Speaker 12: to take a beat. This happened forty eight hours ago. 1426 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 12: I don't claim to be an expert on Venezuela or 1427 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,639 Speaker 12: Maduro or what has happened. I don't know exactly what 1428 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 12: is in the indictment, but let's open it up. 1429 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:50,759 Speaker 6: Let's find out. 1430 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,800 Speaker 12: The information before we take a stand, go one way 1431 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,200 Speaker 12: or the other and there's infighting. I think there's so 1432 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:02,799 Speaker 12: much information that is going to be revealed, not only 1433 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 12: over the next week or two, but over the next 1434 01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:10,600 Speaker 12: few months. And for me, I trust President Trump with 1435 01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:14,920 Speaker 12: the decisions that he is making regarding this operation. So 1436 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,400 Speaker 12: that's where I will begin, and then I will hold 1437 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,759 Speaker 12: my thoughts either or after that. 1438 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,160 Speaker 1: David, allow me to broaden this, Allow me to broaden 1439 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 1: the scope a little bit, David, if you don't mind, 1440 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 1: just so we can have a larger conversation. Yes, Nicholas 1441 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,760 Speaker 1: Maduro and Venezuela is dominating the headlines right now. But 1442 01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:39,479 Speaker 1: President Trump has also warned that if Columbia keeps doing 1443 01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,439 Speaker 1: what is doing, it could be the next target within 1444 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 1: MAGA world, within the America first world. If in fact, 1445 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,759 Speaker 1: President Trump were to take action against Columbia as well, 1446 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 1: how do you think that would resonate? What might the 1447 01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 1: ripple effects be within the party should that happen. 1448 01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,919 Speaker 3: I don't know. It depends on the imprint in Colombia 1449 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 3: and the imprint in Venezuela. And I like Allison's advice. 1450 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,760 Speaker 3: I think it was the best analysis and advice of 1451 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:07,640 Speaker 3: the morning, which is. 1452 01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:08,200 Speaker 2: Take a beat. 1453 01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 3: I think that's exactly right. I think we all should 1454 01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 3: do that in MAGA and quite frankly, the entire country 1455 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:19,880 Speaker 3: written large. Look, if you're a pure isolationist, if you're 1456 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 3: in the MTG camp, if you will, and let's be honest, 1457 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,639 Speaker 3: the Tucker Carlson camp because they hate what just happened 1458 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,320 Speaker 3: in Venezuela. We know this. If you're in that camp, 1459 01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 3: I understand it to a degree, right. I mean President 1460 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,280 Speaker 3: Trump went around saying make America great again. He didn't 1461 01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 3: say make the Western hemisphere great again. So I understand that. 1462 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:44,559 Speaker 3: I also understand that with Solomoni. When he took out 1463 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,599 Speaker 3: Solomoni in the first term, that was in and out, boom. 1464 01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,360 Speaker 2: That was good. L bag Daddy. 1465 01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,679 Speaker 3: When he took l bag Daddy out, in and out boom. 1466 01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 3: Iran nuclear strikes in and out boom, this is different. 1467 01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 2: This is in and out. 1468 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:02,960 Speaker 3: But there's an asterisk here, and the asterisk is how 1469 01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,120 Speaker 3: BIG's the footprint and how long does this go on? 1470 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,439 Speaker 3: And that's why when Allison says take a beat, I agree. 1471 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,559 Speaker 3: I think we need to wait and see how this develops. 1472 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,720 Speaker 3: And to your point, t Bates in Colombia, same thing, 1473 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,160 Speaker 3: quite frankly, in Cuba, same thing. 1474 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 2: I mean Cuba. 1475 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:21,439 Speaker 3: I don't see any military use of force there in Cuba, 1476 01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,679 Speaker 3: but I do think because Cuba's economy is tried directly 1477 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,800 Speaker 3: to Venezuela and oil, which sorry, have you gotten the memo? 1478 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:33,200 Speaker 3: Cuba that ain't coming in that you are basically, as 1479 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 3: President Trump said on Air Force One last night, you're 1480 01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 3: down for the count and it's just a matter of 1481 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:41,280 Speaker 3: time before Cuba falls. So my goodness, guys, we are 1482 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,640 Speaker 3: in for quite a twenty twenty six. So all of 1483 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 3: that to say, I understand where the isolationists are coming from. 1484 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 3: Having said that, and I know I need to take 1485 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:55,559 Speaker 3: a beat too, But right now, at least I support 1486 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,759 Speaker 3: what President Trump is doing for a lot of different reasons. 1487 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,040 Speaker 3: I do believe that it is apples and oranges to 1488 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 3: compare a rock and nation building in Afghanistan to what's 1489 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 3: happening in our own western hemisphere. Venezuela is just a 1490 01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 3: few hours away from the United States by plane. This 1491 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,800 Speaker 3: is we know about the drugs, We know about the 1492 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:22,599 Speaker 3: bad dudes, right Trendo Uraguan others coming here as well. 1493 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:24,920 Speaker 3: So when you put it all together, let me just 1494 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,200 Speaker 3: say one final thing. You know, are you going to 1495 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:32,680 Speaker 3: have Russia and China and Iran bad actors in your backyard, 1496 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,519 Speaker 3: which is the Western Hemisphere a couple hours from the 1497 01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:39,680 Speaker 3: shore of America by plane? No, that is maga. That 1498 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,360 Speaker 3: is make America great again. And by the way, the 1499 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,640 Speaker 3: Belton Road initiative that China has done all over the 1500 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:50,559 Speaker 3: country has about sixty to seventy billion billion dollars of 1501 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:55,280 Speaker 3: investment in Venezuela. China is trying to make strides all 1502 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:55,920 Speaker 3: around the world. 1503 01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:56,599 Speaker 7: That's why we. 1504 01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,879 Speaker 3: Can talk about Greenland later, because President Trump talked about Greenland, 1505 01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 3: still wants Greenland, But in Venezuela, you're going to let 1506 01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 3: China have a stranglehold if you will, on Venezuela and 1507 01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 3: their infrastructure there. Absolutely not. If we keep talking about 1508 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 3: China being a threat to the United States, then what 1509 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 3: President Trump did in Venezuela is maga. 1510 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 1: All right, guys, So let's broaden this discussion and bring 1511 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 1: in former CIA Covert operations officer and the host of 1512 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 1: the President's Daily Brief podcast, Mike Baker. 1513 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,519 Speaker 2: Mike, welcome to the show. Good to talk to you. 1514 01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 1: As always, What do you make of what the president 1515 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,879 Speaker 1: is doing and are there broader consequences in your estimation 1516 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,640 Speaker 1: to the move that the President has made as it 1517 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,680 Speaker 1: relates to Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. 1518 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:44,160 Speaker 27: Yeah, there are definitely broader implications here, and you've been 1519 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 27: pointing out some of those. Look, the problem with the 1520 01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,720 Speaker 27: let's if you want to call it regime change is 1521 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:58,000 Speaker 27: you can't write the script right afterwards with any surety. Right, 1522 01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:04,639 Speaker 27: So the the government still exists in Venezuela. The regime 1523 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 27: was not just one person. It wasn't just Nicholas Muduro. 1524 01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,640 Speaker 27: He was clearly the face of it. But they've already 1525 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,759 Speaker 27: moved the vice president into the position. They've already named 1526 01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:17,240 Speaker 27: her as the new president, Delsa Rodriguez, and she essentially 1527 01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:20,400 Speaker 27: was the oil minister, right Her brother is the propaganda minister, 1528 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,320 Speaker 27: Deo Statocabello is still there as a thug. He was 1529 01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,960 Speaker 27: likely if there had been a normal transition of power 1530 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:31,120 Speaker 27: from Maduro, he would have taken over probably, And Padrino 1531 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,280 Speaker 27: is still a defense minister, so you and there's all 1532 01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,360 Speaker 27: these other senior military and security apparatus personnel who have 1533 01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:42,360 Speaker 27: enriched themselves through the large esse of Maduro and the 1534 01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,839 Speaker 27: overall willingness to work with drug traffickers over the years. 1535 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 27: So it's it could get messy if we haven't done 1536 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 27: some extensive negotiating, if we haven't done some backroom deal 1537 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:59,439 Speaker 27: with some of these actors that are still there in 1538 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:03,240 Speaker 27: terms of a transition, that will then be beneficial to 1539 01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:04,919 Speaker 27: US national security interests. 1540 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, I could get messy. 1541 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:11,000 Speaker 3: So Mike, let's talk about that. Because Marco Rubio, the 1542 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,759 Speaker 3: Secretary of State, was asked about exactly what you're talking about, 1543 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:15,320 Speaker 3: like why not just go in and get them all? 1544 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,519 Speaker 3: And he said, really, you want us to go to 1545 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,960 Speaker 3: four to five different military bases because that's where they 1546 01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,280 Speaker 3: were staying. Maduro was on a separate one. Then Delcia 1547 01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,000 Speaker 3: Rodriguez and others, the Defense Minister, of the Interior minister. 1548 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,559 Speaker 3: So we're not going to do We're not gonna get 1549 01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,160 Speaker 3: them all. But they are. They the United States, they're 1550 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,120 Speaker 3: calling the shots. And then the point that Delci Rodriguez 1551 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,920 Speaker 3: is is like, look you want to mess around, Look 1552 01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 3: look what happened to Maduro to be far worse for you, 1553 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,679 Speaker 3: and he's talking about her death is what he's talking 1554 01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,679 Speaker 3: about in that second wave of attacks. So I mean 1555 01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:46,719 Speaker 3: to me, do you believe that it was a strong 1556 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:49,280 Speaker 3: enough signal to get Maduro to say, don't play around 1557 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 3: with us, because if you if you're not going to 1558 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,160 Speaker 3: straighten things out, we'll straighten it out for you. And 1559 01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 3: this other part of it of regarding the opposition party, 1560 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 3: that one those elections and Madurea took over. Anyhow, my 1561 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:05,760 Speaker 3: sense of it is they don't have the infrastructure right 1562 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,439 Speaker 3: now to take over the country, and that is the 1563 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 3: second phase, the second prong of this. But they want 1564 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:14,040 Speaker 3: to get this thing straightened out first. So what's your 1565 01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:14,720 Speaker 3: take on all that? 1566 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,800 Speaker 27: Yeah, way you've outlined is really is I keep going 1567 01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 27: back to the same word MESSI Look, we've got plenty 1568 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 27: of case studies as to how these these types of 1569 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 27: situations can can spiral. I don't I don't think that 1570 01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:34,559 Speaker 27: the opposition, I mean, to your point has full backing 1571 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,519 Speaker 27: from the military and security apparatus. I mean, I think 1572 01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,640 Speaker 27: it's probably a natural thing. Look, you've got, uh, you know, 1573 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 27: a real downside to those senior military and security personnel 1574 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,719 Speaker 27: who again have benefited greatly by staying in the Dureau's 1575 01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 27: camp and these other individuals, right including the rod Rigorouz twins. 1576 01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:55,320 Speaker 27: So I think what we're looking at is probably the 1577 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 27: White House thinking well, the easiest path here is to 1578 01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 27: essentially reshuffle the power structure in Venezuela rather than say, 1579 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,559 Speaker 27: let's bring back in Mundo Gozalez. You know Maria Machado 1580 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 27: who just won the Nobel Peace Prize. But the international 1581 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 27: community has agreed for a very long time that Maduro 1582 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:17,040 Speaker 27: and his crew stole that last election. By conservative estimates, 1583 01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,840 Speaker 27: the opposition won that election by three to one. It 1584 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,080 Speaker 27: didn't matter because Madureau was never going to leave office, 1585 01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,760 Speaker 27: so he just basically outright stole it. So when they 1586 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 27: say he's illegitimate, yeah, that's true. But again, I keep 1587 01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:29,880 Speaker 27: going back to the same thing. You have to worry 1588 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,719 Speaker 27: about what backfills all of this, and I do worry 1589 01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,719 Speaker 27: that the White House, if what they're thinking is let's 1590 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:40,600 Speaker 27: just let's just reshuffle, let's try to work with you know, Rodriguez, 1591 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,640 Speaker 27: because you know, we've kind of sent this message, as 1592 01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:44,439 Speaker 27: you pointed out, and then you know we're going to 1593 01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 27: come back and do it again. If you don't deal 1594 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:50,920 Speaker 27: with us, that that's got all sorts of problems. You've 1595 01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,040 Speaker 27: also got a credibility issue there from the White House, 1596 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 27: who was saying, look, these people are terrible. We want 1597 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 27: to free and stable you know, venezuela Democrat, and yet 1598 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 27: you kind of push aside the opposition because you think, well, 1599 01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,720 Speaker 27: that just looks too difficult to accomplish here. Let's do 1600 01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 27: a phase two. Well, you know, Phase twos in ceasefires 1601 01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 27: or phase twos, and power transitions are always a lot 1602 01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:13,960 Speaker 27: more problematic than you imagine. 1603 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:14,680 Speaker 10: Is take a look at. 1604 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:21,320 Speaker 12: Gaza, Mike, So, where do we see Machada fitting into 1605 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:21,840 Speaker 12: all of this? 1606 01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 27: Yeah, well that's I think you kind of hit the 1607 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:28,880 Speaker 27: nail on the head in terms of the holy grail 1608 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 27: of the question, can they or have they orchestrated? You know, 1609 01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 27: it's speculations in terms of what has been happening behind 1610 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 27: the scenes, because the White House is you know, probably 1611 01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,920 Speaker 27: rightly so kept some of this to themselves. But what 1612 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,160 Speaker 27: sort of discussions have been taking place both with the 1613 01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:47,599 Speaker 27: opposition and potentially these back channel conversations with the people 1614 01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:52,120 Speaker 27: still in power in Venezuela. Can you get a smooth 1615 01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 27: transition that says, yes, we will provide some type of 1616 01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,240 Speaker 27: amnesty as an example for some of these other power 1617 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:02,799 Speaker 27: brokers in a well, to essentially allow for a peaceful 1618 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:06,160 Speaker 27: transition of power to the Democrat opposition. Look, you've got 1619 01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:10,400 Speaker 27: Venezuelans in the streets celebrating the capture of Maduro, right, 1620 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:14,080 Speaker 27: but they've lived there long enough to understand, you know 1621 01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,160 Speaker 27: that this is not going to be a moment where 1622 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 27: Machadel comes riding in easily and says, now you know 1623 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:24,519 Speaker 27: the opposition is in charge, So I guess you know. 1624 01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:26,479 Speaker 27: My point is two things can be true at the 1625 01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 27: same time. Right, Maduro is a Tyrian person. A lot 1626 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,240 Speaker 27: of those individuals at the top of the power instructure 1627 01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 27: of Venezuela have enriched themselves through very close cooperation with 1628 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 27: drug trafficking networks. Over the years, they've driven Venezuela, which 1629 01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:43,240 Speaker 27: has the most resources in that region, into a basket 1630 01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 27: case situation. They've ruined the lives of millions of Venezuelans, 1631 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,000 Speaker 27: many of whom fled the country because of the actions 1632 01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:54,120 Speaker 27: and policies of Maduro and its predecessor Chavez. But at 1633 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:57,040 Speaker 27: the same time, you can also argue the side of 1634 01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:00,639 Speaker 27: the non interventionists, right, the people who say we should 1635 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,840 Speaker 27: not be doing this now. I don't think non interventionists 1636 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:05,640 Speaker 27: or isolationist. I don't think they actually live in the 1637 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,680 Speaker 27: real world. But you know, you can see what their 1638 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:09,160 Speaker 27: point is. 1639 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Mike. We appreciate your time. 1640 01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 1: It's a you know, there's a lot to unpack here, 1641 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:17,120 Speaker 1: but I think you put it succinctly. 1642 01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:19,880 Speaker 2: It's messy. I think that's the best way to put it. 1643 01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 12: Thanks so much, Mike, Thanks. 1644 01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:22,760 Speaker 20: Thank you. 1645 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,080 Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk soon.

Country music artist 1665 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:42,000 Speaker 11: Neil McCoy has recited the Pledge of Allegiance every single day, 1666 01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:45,160 Speaker 11: no day's off, and now He's marking that anniversary with 1667 01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:49,400 Speaker 11: a new partnership and a limited addition American flag. Joining 1668 01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,240 Speaker 11: us now is country music artist Neil McCoy. Neil, so 1669 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:54,320 Speaker 11: great to have you with us this morning. 1670 01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 9: Ten years. 1671 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:57,600 Speaker 11: I mean, there are public schools in this country that 1672 01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:59,600 Speaker 11: don't do the pledge every day like that. 1673 01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,040 Speaker 9: Why did you start and why do you keep it going? 1674 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:03,000 Speaker 10: You know? 1675 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:07,640 Speaker 17: I started back in January of twenty sixteen when the 1676 01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:09,800 Speaker 17: Republicans and the Democrats were starting to figure out who 1677 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:11,240 Speaker 17: we're trying to figure out who they were going to 1678 01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,040 Speaker 17: run for the president of the United States, and they 1679 01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,200 Speaker 17: had already started kind of bickering back and forth, and 1680 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:17,519 Speaker 17: I just I thought, you know, the one thing I 1681 01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,400 Speaker 17: can do is pledge my allegiance to the wonderful American 1682 01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,920 Speaker 17: flag entire great country. So I went on and started 1683 01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,960 Speaker 17: and I read, I just precited it for probably a 1684 01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,080 Speaker 17: few weeks, and then people started catching on to me. 1685 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:31,599 Speaker 17: Before the algorithms got to us, we used to reach 1686 01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,080 Speaker 17: a million people a day, and so it was a 1687 01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,120 Speaker 17: big deal. A lot of people are still follow us, 1688 01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,400 Speaker 17: and now we continue to do it because some people 1689 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:42,080 Speaker 17: that have seen this before and in some of the 1690 01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:43,800 Speaker 17: older people that don't get out as much, or maybe 1691 01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,200 Speaker 17: in nursing homes they don't have many people come and 1692 01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 17: see them. So they write me and say, you know what, 1693 01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,880 Speaker 17: our day doesn't start until we see you. We say, 1694 01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:52,760 Speaker 17: we want to save the pledge with you, and then 1695 01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:54,760 Speaker 17: because sometimes you're the only face we'll see all day, 1696 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,280 Speaker 17: so we appreciate you continue it. And I said, well, 1697 01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:58,960 Speaker 17: I'm going to be here, so you come see me 1698 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:00,000 Speaker 17: any day. 1699 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,320 Speaker 11: I certainly appreciate you too, and I have tremendous respect 1700 01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 11: for your consistency with this ten years. 1701 01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:06,240 Speaker 9: I just can't get over it. That's incredible. 1702 01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:08,800 Speaker 11: So we do have one of your flags here with 1703 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:12,160 Speaker 11: us today. Very excited about this. Why was it a 1704 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,920 Speaker 11: flag the perfect way to celebrate this ten year milestone. 1705 01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:20,320 Speaker 17: Well, I'd heard about the group of folks called Allied 1706 01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 17: Flag that make about five thousand flags a day out 1707 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:26,599 Speaker 17: of Kansas City, and so I had some people start researching, 1708 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:28,839 Speaker 17: and I've come to find out they had kind of been. 1709 01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,040 Speaker 10: Looking for a way to get in touch with me. 1710 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:32,599 Speaker 17: So once we did hook up, it made perfect sense 1711 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 17: because they know my loyalty and my commitment to our 1712 01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:36,840 Speaker 17: flag and to our country, and. 1713 01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,200 Speaker 10: They feel the same way. So it just made sense for. 1714 01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:41,960 Speaker 17: Us to get in bed together. And now that you 1715 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 17: held up that box a while ago, that's a commemorative 1716 01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,960 Speaker 17: ten year anniversary flag that we're making available through through 1717 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,719 Speaker 17: my website nemcuore dot com or our Allied Flag dot com. 1718 01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,920 Speaker 17: And it's just we just think people that don't see 1719 01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,760 Speaker 17: the flag anymore, they want to get their hands on 1720 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,720 Speaker 17: one at least want to see, uh, the one in 1721 01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:03,519 Speaker 17: that box. And so that a lot of people are 1722 01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:05,760 Speaker 17: ordering it and it's the way of supporting us and 1723 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:07,920 Speaker 17: showing their support for our country when it may be 1724 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:09,200 Speaker 17: the only way they get to do that. 1725 01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:10,040 Speaker 9: That is so amazing. 1726 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:11,920 Speaker 11: That website is down at up bottom of our screen 1727 01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:13,200 Speaker 11: right now for all of our viewers. 1728 01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 9: Make sure you check it out. 1729 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,519 Speaker 11: It is very very cool.

The 1736 01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 11: inspiring story of a woman who refused to quit. That's 1737 01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 11: the sunny side up and it's coming up next. 1738 01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:50,240 Speaker 15: Okay, breaking news from real America's boys. 1739 01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:55,440 Speaker 3: Okay, we have some breaking news this morning from Minnesota. 1740 01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:58,639 Speaker 3: It is now confirmed Governor Tim Walls has put out 1741 01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:01,320 Speaker 3: a statement saying he is not going to be seeking 1742 01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:04,639 Speaker 3: re election for a third term in his state. It comes, 1743 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,679 Speaker 3: of course, amidst all those revelations of massive welfare fraud 1744 01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:11,000 Speaker 3: in Minnesota. Will of course continue to bring you the 1745 01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:15,080 Speaker 3: latest development, says they come. Let's bring in Terrence and 1746 01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:20,120 Speaker 3: Alison to discuss this. Well, it's official, you know, as 1747 01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:22,759 Speaker 3: I'm looking at this statement, he says. Right at the top, 1748 01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:26,400 Speaker 3: he says, for the last several years, an organized group 1749 01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:31,080 Speaker 3: of criminals have sought to take advantage of our state's generosity. 1750 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,639 Speaker 3: And even as we make progress in the fight against 1751 01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,320 Speaker 3: the fraud sturds, we now see an organized group of 1752 01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:40,720 Speaker 3: political actors seeking to take advantage of the crisis. And then, 1753 01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:43,320 Speaker 3: of course he goes on to mention Donald Trump and Maga. 1754 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:47,320 Speaker 3: Of course he did Tebates that should come as no surprise. 1755 01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:49,360 Speaker 2: Right, shifting the blame. 1756 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:51,080 Speaker 1: You were in charge of the state when all of 1757 01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:54,439 Speaker 1: this happened, and there are people who would argue that 1758 01:34:54,840 --> 01:35:00,200 Speaker 1: Mike Wallas was complicit in all of this. I'm just 1759 01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:02,240 Speaker 1: going to broaden the scope a little bit. This is 1760 01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:05,040 Speaker 1: a great opportunity for Mike Lindell. Michael Lindell, of course, 1761 01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:06,960 Speaker 1: has said that he's going to run for governor in 1762 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:11,120 Speaker 1: the state of Minnesota. The fact that an incumbent is 1763 01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,120 Speaker 1: leaving office is obviously going to open the door on 1764 01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,280 Speaker 1: the Democrat side, and there's talk that someone like an 1765 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:21,919 Speaker 1: Amy Klobershar could potentially run. But forget the left side. 1766 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:25,559 Speaker 1: Let's focus on the right side. And this gives Mike 1767 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,240 Speaker 1: Lindell an opportunity and he needs to seize on it. 1768 01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:32,080 Speaker 1: This is when you probably need to up the anti 1769 01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,080 Speaker 1: if you will, when it comes to campaigning in the 1770 01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:36,680 Speaker 1: state of Minnesota and try to take advantage of what 1771 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:38,599 Speaker 1: will soon be Avoid Allison. 1772 01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:43,280 Speaker 12: Absolutely and sunlight is the best disinfectant. So let's get 1773 01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:46,479 Speaker 12: all the details of everything that's happened. This was not 1774 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:52,000 Speaker 12: small fraud. This was billions and billions of dollars. Good 1775 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:56,280 Speaker 12: riddance to Walt. I don't understand how he ever could 1776 01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:57,519 Speaker 12: have stayed in office. 1777 01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,639 Speaker 6: This is probably the best decision ever. 1778 01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:02,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's also remember Tevmates you make a good 1779 01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,920 Speaker 3: point about Mike Lindell. Also, the tailwinds of this could 1780 01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:09,320 Speaker 3: be good news for Royce White as well in Minnesota. 1781 01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:11,320 Speaker 3: I mean, if this is about not just Tim Walls, 1782 01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:14,840 Speaker 3: but if this is about Democrats, and you know, we've got, 1783 01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:19,360 Speaker 3: of course the mayor Jacob Frye in Minneapolis who's come 1784 01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:23,000 Speaker 3: under criticism, criticism as well, so Royce White who's running 1785 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,240 Speaker 3: for Senate there on the Republican side. He could be 1786 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:28,479 Speaker 3: swept in in a good way as well. All Right, guys, 1787 01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:31,960 Speaker 3: well Allison, great to see you today.
