1
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Doctor Jill's work husband had to testify behind closed doors.

2
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: What did he say or what did he not say? Also,

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: the Varsity Blues guy that was bribing people's kids into

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: college has a new business pretty much doing the exact

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: same thing, at least as far as I can tell.

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: And Mam Danny the possible hopefully not Mayor of New

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: York in the future, well, his dad wrote a really

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: interesting book and in that book, really interesting excerpt. We'll

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: tell you about that and so much more here on

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: Turning Point tonight. Together we are charting the course of

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: America's cultural comeback. This is turning Point tonight. And before

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: we get to that, in our fantastic panel. Now, this

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: is not a new concept, but there was a really

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: really interesting piece in the Washington Post about immigrants. Now,

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: they don't delineate between illegal and legal, which I love

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: to do, but this is not that particular. We're not

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: really talking about that right now. But people who come

18
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: into the country, foreigners who now live here legally or

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: otherwise sending money back home to their countries of origin. Now,

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: this is a thing. We've all known that this happens,

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: but the rate that it's happening is increasing, and it's

22
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: increasing rapidly from January to March relative to equivalent periods

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: of time in other years. Remittance to El Salvador shot

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 1: up fourteen percent, remittance to Honduras went up twenty percent,

25
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: and Guatemala twenty one percent. In other words, in this

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: brief time period, especially since President Trump took office, more

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: and more people from other countries are sending their money

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: back to those other countries. And what's even more fascinating

29
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: about that? And again I wish, or at least I

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: hope someone digs into are we talking about legal or

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: illegal or what are we talking about here? But just overall,

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 1: what is even more fascinating is this statistics. Immigrant cash

33
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: transfers rose from ten percent of the Central American regions

34
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: GDP in twenty ten. In other words, thirteen percent of

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: the entire GDP of the region in twenty ten was

36
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: American money going there. It rose from ten percent in

37
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty ten to twenty three percent last year. In

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: other words, it doubled over fifteen years. And we're not

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: talking about, oh, the amount of money, the percentage of money.

40
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: We're talking about the overall GDP. In other words, a

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: fifth of the entire economy of Central America is money

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: from here to there. Whether or not that's a good

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: idea remains to be seen. I tend to say no,

44
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: and I especially want to figure out if we're talking

45
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: how what percentage of this is illegals sending money abroad

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: back to where they came from. Wow, here to talk

47
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: about that and so much more. As political commentary commentator

48
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: Lily Kate and senior fellow at the American Principles Project

49
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: Paula Scanlon, Guys, thank you so much for joining.

50
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Thank you, Lily.

51
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: I'll start with you here.

52
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: What is going on, especially why the uptick do you

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: think in recent months of people saying, oh shoot, I

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: gotta send more money back home? And again, we can

55
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: probably leave the overall conversation of whether or not they

56
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: should happen. It does happen, regardless of what you think

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: about it. It does happen. But why is there this drastic increase.

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 4: Well, it's one word. It's Trump.

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: Because immigrants are not coming into the country anymore to

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 5: seek economic opportunity. So therefore they have to resort to,

61
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 5: if they're already here, make as much money as they

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 5: can and send it back to their families. Most illegal

63
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 5: immigrants around the world and the ones who have come

64
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: here all believe that America is simply just their own

65
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: cash cow that they can come and just.

66
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 4: Suck it dry from all the money and all the

67
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: cash that.

68
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: It has because the US dollar is so dominant on

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: the world stage.

70
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: And now they have a choice.

71
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 5: They can either go back or wait till Ice supports them,

72
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 5: or start sending money back. And think a lot of

73
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: them are choosing to send money back to their families

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 5: because that's the only thing they want to do is

75
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: suck America drive while it's cash.

76
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: Paula. This the statistic that the end blew my mind.

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: A fifth of the entire regions GDP in Central America

78
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: is from cash going out of the United States and

79
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: to there. And that's not the only case, right There

80
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: are tons of countries around the world where a huge

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: proportion of their GDP is made up of cash sent

82
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: from the United States back there. How many countries around

83
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: the world do we support in this way, not including

84
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: money that they were getting through usaid, money that they

85
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: were getting in terms of foreign assistance, Like, are we

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: just like so big and powerful that every single country

87
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: in the world depends on us.

88
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: No, exactly that I mean.

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 6: I think I've heard stories of immigrants that come to

90
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 6: this country and they are funding their entire family.

91
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: And it's not just their immediate family.

92
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 6: They're funding like their distant cousins and relatives from their

93
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 6: American salary, doing every job here, taking as much money

94
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 6: as they can, take as many jobs, hitting as many

95
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 6: free handouts as they can in this country. And that

96
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 6: is a common thing that we see from immigrants, not

97
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 6: even just from Central America, but I think from all

98
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 6: over this is a very common thing.

99
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: I hear in Asia.

100
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 6: I mean I had a family that immigrated here from

101
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 6: Asia as well, and a lot of them, Yeah, they work,

102
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 6: came over and they were sending their salaries over because

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 6: the place that gives them the most money is this country.

104
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 6: And I think what it shows and the one thing

105
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 6: I will say about this, yeah, probably shouldn't be happening.

106
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 6: We need to think about our citizens first. But what

107
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 6: I will say is America is a great country. And

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 6: any leftist that wants to say that we're discussing horrible

109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 6: country and they don't want to be here, there are

110
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 6: quite literally billions of people that want to live in

111
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 6: this country and the opportunities that we have here, and

112
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 6: I think that that is forgotten, and I think that

113
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 6: just proves.

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: Exactly that, Yeah, this country is so bad and awful

115
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: and terrible that everyone around the world wants to come

116
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: here and work so that they can be able to

117
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: send money home. You know, this is actually this one's

118
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: kind of touchy, right. We all witnessed the horrible fires

119
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: in California, specifically in the Palisades, and everybody, everybody is

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: horrified by that. It's a terrible, tragic situation. I am

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: not generally speaking of the conspiratorial type which said what

122
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: start of the fires?

123
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: All this.

124
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: I think it's just bad governance of like forest management,

125
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: water supply, a bunch of that sort of stuff. But

126
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: you know that meme that so many people send around,

127
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: it's like Bart Simpson and then he says.

128
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: Like, what an odd thing to say?

129
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: This is another one of those situations in California, Lily,

130
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: this is what an odd thing to do. California is

131
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: seeking to establish a Resilient Rebuilding Authority for the Los

132
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: Angeles wildfires, which are set to coordinate and streamline the

133
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: process of rebuilding. The problem is, or the very fishy

134
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: thing is the powers that the state is trying to

135
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: give this county, Los Angeles County authority is to purchase

136
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: property and facilitate redevelopment and including through eminent domain, in

137
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: other words, the county eminent domain. People who don't know

138
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: about this can say this, US taking this land for

139
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: the greater good is what's going to happen, and that's

140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna basically commandeer it. Lily Again, I don't think

141
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: the government had any role in starting the fires or

142
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: perpetuating them. I don't think that's true mismanagement and government, different,

143
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: different story. Why would they be doing this specifically and

144
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: kind of almost threatening that the county takes money, takes

145
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: land through eminent domain, which a lot of people aren't

146
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: a fan of.

147
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a really fishy situation. Gets you asking a

148
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: lot of questions. I know, California, obviously they have tremendous

149
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 5: amounts of mismanagement, and I think probably how they've divvied

150
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 5: up land, or how much they've sold, or if they've oversold,

151
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 5: or if they're trying to add more like Section eight

152
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: housing right with these potential seizures, right, it's just another

153
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: example of how mismanaged and ignorance and someone being terrible

154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: at their job creates more problems. And so not only

155
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 5: are you having a land that is like completely burnt

156
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 5: to a crisp because of these fires, and the government

157
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: is coming in and saying, hey, you know, we could

158
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 5: actually use this for something a little bit more interesting,

159
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 5: a little bit more, a little bit better.

160
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: For you guys.

161
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 5: And I don't think Californian should have any reason to

162
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: trust their government. I'm hoping this piece of active legislation

163
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 5: doesn't completely make it through because why is the government

164
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 5: getting more involved and they've proven that they mismanage every

165
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 5: single little thing, and citizens should be able to stand

166
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: up against their government and say, you know what, not

167
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 5: because of you guys that did this burn down, but

168
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: the burning got worse because you didn't know how to

169
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 5: handle it. Why should I trust you with this land

170
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 5: that you're potentially going to seize from me.

171
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense.

172
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: Makes you ask a ton of questions, But I'm with you,

173
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 5: not going to assume anything here, but mismanagement leads to

174
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 5: lots and lots of problems.

175
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paula, to kind of follow up on something that

176
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Lily said, this is really interesting too. The Resilient Rebuilding

177
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: Authority would authorize financing acquisition of different properties with a

178
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: mandate to spend at least forty percent on low income housing,

179
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: which means you're sixty percent below the threshold. This is

180
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: some of the most popular, most expensive real estate, not

181
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: only in California, not only in the country, but on

182
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: planet Earth, and forty percent of it could, in theory

183
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: go to low income housing. Again, what a weird thing

184
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: to do.

185
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 5: You know.

186
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 6: Leftists just want to own everything. I mean, I live

187
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 6: in New York City. We talk about Mondamia a lot.

188
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: He wants state run grocery stores. The government just wants

189
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: to own all your land.

190
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 7: They don't like.

191
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 4: People having private property. They don't like homeowners.

192
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 6: They don't want individuals making decisions for themselves. They think

193
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 6: that as money. They tax the people in California already

194
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: so much, and they take at tax para money and

195
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 6: don't do anything useful with it whatsoever. And then they

196
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 6: want to take their homes away too, and then put

197
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 6: in again, yes, public housing probably. I mean, I don't

198
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 6: know what they're going to do with the land, but

199
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 6: all I know is that it's better in the hands

200
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 6: of those private owners doing what it is with the

201
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 6: property they worked hard to purchase, and it says, well,

202
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 6: you know what, now you had a terrible situation. We're

203
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 6: just gonna take it away and we're gonna do whatever

204
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 6: we want with it. And that's not my problem. And

205
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 6: shame on the government of California. I mean, I think

206
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 6: that they've shown us time and time again.

207
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you.

208
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: Live in California and Joe, Bob, but we've seen a

209
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 6: lot of failures in their government and it's really just

210
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 6: sad to see the people that have already been hurt

211
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 6: so badly by these fires just having to deal with

212
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 6: this even more.

213
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

214
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: I again, we'll all find out together what actually ends

215
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: up happening here, but as of right now, what an

216
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: odd thing to do really quickly here before we have

217
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: to go to break Lily. Doctor Jill Biden's right hand man,

218
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: her work husband, was set to testify in front of

219
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: a closed door hearing trying to figure out the cover

220
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: up of the president's mental decline. He pleaded the fifth

221
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not talking. Does it say more than

222
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: what he said to not have said anything? I think

223
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: that makes sense.

224
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 5: I think if he would have just said, yeah, there

225
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 5: were signs of Joe Biden declining, and that's why we

226
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 5: took him out of the race. Nobody would bat an eye,

227
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 5: But the problem is they're so incriminated they don't know

228
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 5: what to say, and it looks terrible. Silence is always

229
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 5: worse when everybody has nine million questions about the situation,

230
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 5: and so him pleading the fifth definitely speaks volumes.

231
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: Yess. Yeah.

232
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: Paula Byron, Donnell's congressman, said this, if he wasn't in

233
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: charge of his administration, then every order, every bill that

234
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: was signed, every memorandum, as far as I'm concerned, are

235
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: null and void. If this commission finds that President Biden

236
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: was completely incoherent the entire time, I don't know what

237
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: are the legal ramifications of that when it comes to

238
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: all of the things that he put in place and signed,

239
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: you know.

240
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 4: Exactly not.

241
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 6: I think we need to look into the entire Biden administration,

242
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 6: every executive order, every part in every single piece of legislation.

243
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: That was ever put on his desk. But the other

244
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: thing is all of these people pleading the fifth if

245
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 4: they do answer honestly, there's there's two categories.

246
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 6: First, they knew what was going on and they were

247
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: part of the cover up, or they're so stupid that

248
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 6: they were working for someone that was not even fully

249
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 6: they're not able to have conversations and they didn't know.

250
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 4: I mean, those are the two options, right, They either

251
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 4: didn't know or they were part of the cover up, and.

252
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 6: I think both make these people look equally bad. And

253
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 6: so again, I think that we're not talking about this enough.

254
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 6: No one's talked about how the Biden administration was just

255
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 6: hiding things from us. I still want to know who

256
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 6: was president, who was making the decisions to do everything

257
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 6: that happened in the four years of failure that they did.

258
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 4: We have no.

259
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: Answers on that, And again, I'm appreciative to the Republicans

260
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 6: that have been pushing back on this, but I want

261
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 6: more answers, and I won't be quiet about it until

262
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 6: we have them.

263
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. You've also echoed the never ending Joe

264
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: Bob paradigm. Are they stupid or are they lying? One

265
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: of those two things have to be true, and I guess, well,

266
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll find out. Lily Paula will be back after

267
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: the break to discuss Mam Danny's dad Unearthed. He wrote

268
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: a book in two thousand and four. Stuff in that book.

269
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: Also the Varsity Blues Mastermind has a new gig. And

270
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: then after that, don't miss Tucker Carlson's extended conversation with

271
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: Alice Clark and the Culture Apothecary podcast. Don't go away,

272
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: It'll be right back after this.

273
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 8: Got to admire what you've been able to do, not

274
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 8: to weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses.

275

281

Speaker 3: Welcome back to Turning Point. Tonight we're together.

282
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: We are charting the course of America's cultural Combany let's

283
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: check in with Turning Points White House Corresponding Monica page

284
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: at the White House. Monica like going on again as

285
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: there is every single day, big signing that President undertook today.

286
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: Can you tell us about what he's what he's signing?

287
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 11: Yep, The President gathered with lawmakers in the East Room

288
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 11: and families of victims of those who have honestly been

289
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 11: either killed or seriously harmed from the effects of fentanyl.

290
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 11: He is signed the Halt Fentanyl Act, the ha LT

291
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 11: Halt All Lethal Trafficking that's what the HALT stands for

292
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 11: of Fentinal Act. And this is a very bipartisan bill.

293
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 11: We're glad that it passed that both the House and Senate.

294
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 11: So that's why the President will be meeting with lawmakers

295
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 11: on both sides of the aisle and also with the

296
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 11: families of those victims. This bill is going to close

297
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 11: those loopholes that criminals have you used to skirt the

298
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 11: system in traffic, being lethal amounts of pentanol and just

299
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 11: any sorts of sentinel to begin with, and any sort

300
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 11: of fentanyl like drug that doesn't have to be exactly

301
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 11: fentanyl will also be classified as a top tier level

302
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 11: most Dangerous drug on the Cessay. So definitely a very

303
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 11: good thing for keeping Americans say, a great thing for

304
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 11: keeping us even in our national security here in the

305
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 11: United States and moving forward. This is also going to

306
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 11: make law enforcement have an easier time prosecuting those criminals

307
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 11: who are feeling this fentanyl who are trafficking into our country.

308
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 11: I believe in twenty twenty three, more than seventy thousand

309
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 11: Americans were killed due to fentanyl. And even though that

310
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 11: was lowered around twenty twenty four, I think it's lowered

311
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 11: to about twenty seven percent, it's still maintains to be

312
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 11: a major issue here in the United States.

313
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I hope there also is a strong gaze

314
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: pointed in China's directions. China is really in a big

315
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: way participating in the opioids coming into the United States

316
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: so much as across the southern border. But again how

317
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: they're doing it, I hope that that becomes a priority,

318
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: especially again looking towards China. Let's see, there's also there's

319
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: something in the Big Beautiful Bill that you've been talking about.

320
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: Haven't seen much else talking about it, but it is

321
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: actually really interesting. Can you tell us about the Garden

322
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: of Heroes.

323
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's exactly right, Garden of Heroes. Forty million dollars

324
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 11: allocated to this new project thanks to the One Big

325
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 11: Beautiful Bill. And what this essentially does is honor the

326
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 11: heroes of our nation's history. So you're gonna have names

327
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 11: like maybe Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, Babe Ruth, George Washington,

328
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 11: George Washington, Carver MLK Junior, you name it. The President

329
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 11: back actually in twenty twenty one tried to get this

330
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 11: passed and had a list of about two hundred and

331
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 11: forty forty four names on this list, but unfortunately he

332
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 11: wasn't able to get a passed in time, and when

333
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 11: Joe Biden took the presidency, we quashed the project altogether.

334
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 11: So now as we approach the two hundred and fiftieth

335
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 11: Birthday of America, the President is kind of trying to

336
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 11: expedite this project restart, and right now he's kind of

337
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 11: looking to add to those two hundred and forty four

338
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 11: names and see if we can get two hundred and

339
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 11: fifty kind of lifelike statues looking towards Mount Russian War,

340
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 11: maybe in that sort of area at a federal land

341
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 11: on some kind of park where he can bring this

342
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 11: vision to life. So it's a way of honoring our

343
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 11: nation's history as we bring in the two hundred and

344
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 11: fiftieth Birthday next year.

345
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: I know there's going to be some pushback from conservatives

346
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 1: saying why are we spending money on this? But if

347
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna spend money, especially in kind of an artistic way,

348
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: this is probably where it does need to get spent

349
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: in honoring the tradition in the history of the United States,

350
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: because if you lose that, you lose the country. Monica

351
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Page Trening Points, White House Correspondent, thanks so much for

352
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: joining us.

353
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 11: Thanks so much, you guys, Thank you.

354
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Now much has been made about Mam Danny, the guy

355
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: who's running for New York City mayor.

356
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: He went to Washington, d C.

357
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: Today to try and drum up support for major Libs

358
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: because as far as anybody's concerned, the only people that

359
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: have endorsed him explicitly are AOC and Bernie Sanders, which

360
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: doesn't make a huge amount of the LIB party over there,

361
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: but nonetheless he's still in the race. Let's bring our

362
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: panel back Paula and Lily. Guys, this is interesting.

363
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: Paula.

364
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: I want to start with you, because you, unfortunately may

365
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: have to deal with this guy much more than the

366
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: rest of us and spread out throughout the country. Among

367
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: the many things that he himself has said, his dad

368
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: wrote a book in two thousand and four, and I'm

369
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: gonna read you a quote from this. Try not to

370
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: be too horrified. His dad said, suicide bombing needs to

371
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: be understood as a feature, not a bug, a feature

372
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: of modern political violence, rather than stigmatized as a mark

373
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: of barbarism. He wrote this in a two thousand and

374
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: four book called Good Muslim, Bad Muslim America, The Cold

375
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 1: War and the Roots of Terror Paula. People, you know,

376
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: detractors will be like, you're taking it out of context. Okay, fine,

377
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: what context?

378
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: Does this make sense?

379
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 4: In no context at all?

380
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 6: And you know, I don't want to be in a

381
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 6: position where I'm generalizing any group of people. But I

382
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 6: had a professor in college that also of that same

383
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 6: religion that referred to nine to eleven as a cultural misunderstanding,

384
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 6: the reason US Americans do not understand them, for the

385
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 6: cultural differences that we have from people who are from

386
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 6: that part of the world. That is legitimately what we

387
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 6: were told. I mean, I'm a New Yorker myself. My

388
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 6: dad was in New York City during nine to eleven.

389
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 6: I mean, he talks every single year about the horrors

390
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 6: of it, the fact that we've are forgetting about of that,

391
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 6: all that were distant from all of that, and we

392
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 6: have a guy running for the mayor of the biggest.

393
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: City in this entire country, that clearly has.

394
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 6: Been brought up in an upbringing that has no respect.

395
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: For American values in American culture.

396
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: Is I don't even know how to put into words

397
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 6: how this makes me feel. And then more of it

398
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 6: comes out about this guy, the worst it gets. I mean,

399
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 6: at a certain point, I thought a couple of weeks ago,

400
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 6: we say, okay, we found everything on him, every single

401
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 6: thing I hear, he just gets worse, and I didn't

402
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 6: even think I was possible that.

403
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: Yes, echoing that point, I felt the same way about

404
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: the Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

405
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 3: First, he was just from Maryland News.

406
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: A father, Okay, he beats his wife, all right, it's

407
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: a humor trafficker, Okay, he's part of a gang. It

408
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: just keeps getting worse and worse and worse, Lily Kate,

409
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: Is that gonna do anything?

410
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: Though?

411
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: The more we find out about this dude, the more

412
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: that people are aware of, in my opinion, his very

413
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: radical ideas of things, not even opinion that's just objectively true.

414
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: Do you think it's going to matter ultimately when it

415
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: comes down to the elections coming up?

416
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 5: Well, the new York mayoral elections are extremely interesting because

417
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 5: they do it in a very very different way than

418
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: normal elections. So there might be some kind of quartering

419
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 5: or having of a vote that ends up going in

420
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 5: either Eric adams favor or you know, running as an

421
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 5: independent or Governor Cuomo's. It might, it might end up

422
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 5: and shake up some sort of way. But I just

423
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 5: want to point out the fact that he wrote that

424
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 5: in two thousand and four, that's like three years after

425
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 5: nine to eleven happened. That's when patriotism has very highest

426
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: between Republicans and unity between Republicans and Democrats nationwide. I mean,

427
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: we say never forget, but we're clearly forgetting something about

428
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: and the fact that he would call legitimate and actual

429
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 5: violence just a part of the American political system should

430
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 5: show how radical that the Islam ideology is and how

431
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 5: powerful of a political tool it is. And I always

432
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 5: tell people this, I say, you know, Islam is an

433
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 5: extremely powerful political tool because it relies on the understanding

434
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 5: of hierarchy power and then it's not afraid to use

435
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 5: violence and then lie about the actual violence that it commits.

436
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: And so we need to be.

437
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 5: Really careful about who we elect in the New York

438
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 5: mayoral race because it's the biggest city, it's a very

439
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 5: important city in America. And I just hope that Independence

440
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 5: and Republicans can all organize themselves to get out of

441
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 5: the way and not shoot themselves in the foot and all,

442
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 5: you know, clan behind one person, push that guy forward

443
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 5: so we can beat this once and for all. Because

444
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 5: this won't be the last iteration of a Mamdani that

445
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 5: comes around who is from an extremely radical, well educated

446
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: quote unquote well educated family.

447
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 4: This is just the beginning.

448
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 5: I think we're going to see people like him pop

449
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 5: up all over the United States, and we need to

450
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 5: know how to band together with Independence, with Republicans, with Conservatives,

451
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 5: with Libertarians to get around these people, because it's not

452
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 5: going to get any less radical.

453
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to piggyback on your comment about the timing

454
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: of that, you get to think too in the context

455
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: we just stopped having to take off our shoes at

456
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: the airport last week, and I know that wasn't an

457
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: exact derivative of nine to eleven, but still, like this

458
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: has been reverberating for the last twenty five years.

459
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 3: It's it's you know, of course.

460
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: That's crazy that that was written in two thousand and four,

461
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of things that are crazy. I just

462
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: I think this is so interesting, and paul I want

463
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: to start with you again. Considered you were a college athlete,

464
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: the guy who orchestrated the varsity blues scandal in which

465
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: he like photoshopped kids' heads onto different athletes and said, no.

466
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: They're the rower. They are a great rower on the

467
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 3: rowing team.

468
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: And the kid shows up to schools like I never

469
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: wrote a day in my life. He's got a new business,

470
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: and it is It is consulting college kids on their admissions.

471
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: Let's see a hands on, personalized approach to college admissions counseling.

472
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't know if he's just kind of

473
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: things are going over his head. But Paula, do you

474
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: think that this guy, well, so the big story is

475
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: the judge's man did Hey, you have to disclose to

476
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: everybody your past in getting people into college and how

477
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: you did that. You think this guy's gonna drum up

478
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: any business. Rick Singer is the guy's name.

479
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, I know all about that story.

480
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 12: You know.

481
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 6: Actually, I hate to admit this, but I think that

482
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 6: he actually will have customers.

483
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: And let me break down exactly why.

484
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 6: Okay, I went to an IVY League institution and I

485
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 6: can tell you firsthand that everything there is a total scam.

486
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: Okay, the entire admissions process is a scam.

487
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 6: They don't actually value students based on how intelligent they are.

488
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 6: It's all about do you match this niche category. They

489
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 6: want diversity. It's if you're a tuba player and you're

490
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 6: the only tuba player in the entire Northeast, you can

491
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 6: go anywhere you want. But if you happen to play

492
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 6: the violin instead, good luck. And that is how he's

493
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 6: colleges decide who gets in, and that's actually how he

494
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 6: was so successful to begin with, that there was this

495
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 6: process that allowed him to scam people, and no one

496
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 6: actually cares. No one is fact checking if you are

497
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 6: actually the person who's taking that test that you have

498
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 6: the score for. No one is fact checking how you

499
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 6: got those grades in high school or if you even

500
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 6: showed up to those classes when you took them. I mean,

501
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 6: that is exactly why this guy was allowed to succeed.

502
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 6: And the college system is the problem here. And he

503
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 6: is just a really smart player that's figured out this

504
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 6: is a scam and people are willing to put thousands

505
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 6: and thousands of dollars into this every single year, and

506
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 6: he's just profiting. I mean, I hate him for it,

507
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 6: but he's really just taking advantage of the system that's

508
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 6: so messed up.

509
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

510
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. It might be a systemic

511
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: problem overall. Lily Cat will give you the last word

512
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: on this.

513
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 5: What do you think I want to read some of

514
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 5: the stuff that he is now being forced to tell

515
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 5: his future clients as a business owner, this would be harrowing.

516
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 5: He has to admit that, among other things, he bribed

517
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 5: standardized test proctors administrators to engage in cheating on college

518
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 5: entrance exams. He falsified students' academic transcripts by paying third

519
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 5: parties to take classes in their names. They falsified student

520
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 5: college applications with fake awards, athletic activities, and fabricated essays.

521
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 5: And they bribe college students, athletes, athletic coaches, and administrators

522
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 5: using donation through programs and personal bribes designed to help

523
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: in the athletic recruiting.

524
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: So like, as a business.

525
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 5: Owner, if I ever had to go to someone and

526
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 5: say you should hire me, also, I've committed major fraud.

527
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 5: I don't know what person, an honest person would take

528
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 5: me on. But to Paul's point, the whole college system

529
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 5: is such a scam. I mean, criminal amounts of money

530
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 5: for a small piece of paper at the end that

531
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 5: may or may not get you the job security that

532
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 5: you're looking for. So to the people who are falling

533
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 5: for this kind of stuff, I mean, I guess you

534
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 5: got to get down in nitty griddy and you got

535
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 5: to play the game.

536
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: But choose your players.

537
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 5: Rightly, choose them correctly, and maybe don't go for the

538
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 5: people who are self proclaimed fraudsters.

539
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you were reading from what is legally required

540
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: to be on this guy's website.

541
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 3: That's like walking into a.

542
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: Bakery and on the wall there's a court mandated sign

543
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: that said, by the way, this baker was putting rat

544
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: feces into the muffins six years ago. They may or

545
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: may not still be doing that and will remains to

546
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: be seen. But that was probably a little bit too far.

547
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: Lily Kate followed scandalon it was a good one today, guys,

Speaker 10: big GOV sucks cooler claim yours today.

562
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 13: The only parenting regret I've ever heard you say publicly

563
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 13: is that you wish you at a homeschooled Yeah, that

564
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 13: was so stupid.

565
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 14: Well, we're you know, I was born in nineteen sixty nine.

566
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 13: But why do you feel like that's a regret because

567
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 13: it seems to me like what we know what's been

568
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 13: shared publicly about your kids, by yourself or whatever, is

569
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 13: that they're all the very successful well ivy leaguers. Your

570
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 13: son's working in the administration. I mean, so, why do

571
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 13: you feel like, well, I wish I would have gone

572
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 13: back at homeschooled.

573
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 14: I mean, I have all kinds of excuses for what

574
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 14: I did in homeschool. I'm sure there's not one of

575
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 14: my children who wanted to be homeschooled. I'm sure if

576
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 14: you were able to find them now, all living in

577
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 14: Zambia under assumed names. Just kidding. I don't ever if

578
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 14: you ever run in them, don't ask them. But if

579
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 14: you were to ask them, they would say, oh, my gosh,

580
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 14: that's a nightmare to have our father homeschool us, overbearing

581
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 14: all those theories about everything. But I was educated almost

582
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 14: exclusively by my father at home. I went to every

583
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 14: stupid private school boarding school in the world at great expense.

584
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 14: But I learned the overwhelming majority of what I know

585
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 14: today at the table with my dad talking about books

586
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 14: that he had read and experiences he'd had in places

587
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 14: that he'd been people he knew. I was educated by

588
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 14: my father. Most of my understanding the world comes from him,

589
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 14: and I wish i'd passed that on to a great

590
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 14: extent that I did to my kids. I think the

591
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 14: education they received was like contemptibly stupid. I would sometimes ask,

592
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 14: you know, like, what are you reading? Our eyes were

593
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 14: watching God by Zora Neil Hurston. She's a famous African

594
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 14: American art It's like, oh, shut up, it's garbage. Have

595
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 14: you read Anna Karanaa? What's that?

596
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 12: I mean?

597
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 14: Like the education was a joke. It was a joke.

598
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 14: And for all my pots smoking and failing out of

599
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 14: college and all the sort of checkered nature of my

600
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 14: educational history, I always read good books because I had

601
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 14: no twists, because my father made me.

602
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 13: Did you at least pass on a love for the

603
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 13: grateful dead?

604
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 14: I did, actually, and the and for bluegrass and Americana

605
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 14: and for acoustic music in general. I think school is stupid.

606
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 14: I think, basically don't think most people should go to

607
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 14: school at all. I strongly feel that way. But I

608
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 14: don't think reading is stupid. And I think that we

609
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 14: don't take it seriously enough. I don't think it's enough

610
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 14: to read. I think anytime spent with a beach novel

611
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 14: is wasted time. And you hear these elaborate justifications or

612
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 14: I need to relax my brain. No, I think you're relaxed.

613
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 14: And if you're living in American society. You get enough

614
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 14: downtime on your brain. Okay, you get enough of that

615
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 14: if you're on Twitter, I think you've had enough of that.

616
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 14: I wanted to read a real book, and so I

617
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 14: was with certain of my children, probably not across the

618
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 14: board enough, but with certain I was like, no, we're

619
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 14: not reading that, Like that's crap.

620
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 13: Actually, do you agree with the idea that marriages have seasoned,

621
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 13: you know, lots of sex, no sex, roommates, best friends, lovers,

622
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 13: or has it stayed very consistent for you?

623
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 14: I've always gotten along with my wife. I've always liked her.

624
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 14: I do think that not just sex, but like attraction, smell, affection,

625
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 14: like do I like, do I have warm feelings for

626
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 14: this person?

627
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 8: Like?

628
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 14: A lot of that is like genetic or it's determined

629
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 14: on a non conscious level. It's not the product of choice,

630
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 14: you just run into somebody. And by the way, I

631
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 14: think the children are the product of of course, genetics,

632
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 14: the mix between man and woman. And I think people

633
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 14: who were attracted to each other on a fair gnome

634
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 14: level have their children tend to be more impressive than

635
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 14: their parents like that. Yeah, so I think it's really important.

636
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 14: But of course, I mean if you've got, you know,

637
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 14: four kids at home, and one of them is breastfeeding.

638
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 14: It does tend to affect your sex life.

639
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 13: What's your advice for young married men, because my audience

640
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 13: are typically married starting families, twenty five to thirty five

641
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 13: year old women. So for their husbands who are listening

642
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 13: to this episode, they're like, oh, I'm in that season

643
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 13: right now, Like, what is your encouragement for them?

644
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 14: Don't retreat? I mean that tends to hurt men's feelings

645
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 14: a lot, a lot, and they take it personally and

646
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 14: women just reorient to the child, and it's just so shocking.

647
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 14: Every husband feels it when you know, you realize you're

648
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 14: not the most important person to your wife, her child is,

649
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 14: and then the kid takes over your wife's body, which

650
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 14: is like, what, get off those things? Like you know

651
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 14: what I mean? I think every man feels that way,

652
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 14: like what, no, that you're not allowed there? You know,

653
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 14: what are you doing here? I feel that I felt

654
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 14: that really strongly, and I tried not to say it

655
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 14: too much. Now I joke about it, like I'm glad

656
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 14: they're you know, I'm glad they're off of you. Much

657
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 14: as I love them, they're my children. But so, but

658
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 14: there is this moment for a man where you're like,

659
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 14: oh my gosh, I lost my wife, and I think

660
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 14: it's important at that point to make the effort to try.

661
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 14: Your wife is never going to focus on you with

662
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 14: the kids around. She just can't. It's just impossible. So

663
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 14: you need to get her out of the house, whether

664
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 14: it's on a walk preferably. I mean, we always always

665
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 14: went out to dinner and said, golances. When we get

666
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 14: a motel room near our house, get room service, hang

667
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 14: out there for them and go back, you know what

668
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 14: I mean, Like spend one hundred and fifty bucks for

669
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 14: the room, because you're never going to get her full

670
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 14: attention with her children in the room. Ever to this day,

671
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 14: by the way, you can be in your fifties and

672
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 14: your kids will come visit with their spouses and she'll

673
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 14: be distracted because that's just how women are wired. And

674
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 14: think heaven, they are wired that way. It's it's how

675
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 14: infants survive. I mean, when a baby cries the middle

676
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 14: of the night, if I were the mom, the kid

677
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 14: would starve to death because I just wouldn't wake up.

678
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 13: When you told your wife, my career is changing. After

679
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 13: fourteen years. What was her initial reaction and did her

680
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 13: reaction surprise You mean when.

681
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 14: I got fired? Yeah, oh it was amazing. She was

682
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 14: finally she was relieved. I said, I got a call

683
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 14: from Suzanne Scott. I almost could remember her name. I mean,

684
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 14: or no, I'll will who was the president. I guess

685
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 14: still is the president of Foxes. I never really had

686
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 14: much of a relationship with her. Odd person, but always

687
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 14: nice to me. And I said, Suzanne Scott just called

688
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 14: me and they canceled my show and my wife was

689
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 14: with our dogs, and she goes, what why? And I said,

690
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 14: I don't know. They wouldn't tell me, and she goes,

691
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 14: thank god, no way. First thing. First thing, she said that,

692
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 14: why did you say that? You think she thought they

693
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 14: were really anti Christian?

694
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 5: Oh?

695
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 13: Really?

696
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 12: Yeah?

697
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, Well do you agree, Oh of course, yeah yeah.

698
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: Why do you say that?

699
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 14: It just makes them uncomfortable. They're not comfortable with that

700
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 14: at all. If you said on which I don't think

701
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 14: I ever did, I probably should have, but like, hey,

702
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 14: how are the Christians of the West Bank doing? Like,

703
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 14: how's Bethlehem doing where Jesus was born, the church in

704
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 14: the Nativity. It's got to be that's not the most

705
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 14: sacred site in Christen dib but I'm not sure what

706
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 14: is Jesus was born in Bethlehem. It's the Church of

707
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 14: the Nativity. Let's call the rector of the Church in

708
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 14: the Nativity and ask him what he thinks was raely occupation.

709
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 14: Just as a Christian, I think it's totally fair. Whoh,

710
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 14: I mean, you'd be out of there really, of course.

711
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 14: I mean you're not allowed to say, are you joking?

712
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 13: So when we saw that viral photo of you guys

713
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 13: like laughing on the golf cart or whatever you guys

714
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,879

715
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 13: like pure joy, and it was pure joy because you

716
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 13: both felt like a waste can.

717
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, that was pretty funny. That was actually very funny.

718
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 14: My wife's a very sweet person, mother of four always

719
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 14: four dogs, from a religion teacher, totally non political, not

720
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 14: a news consumer, and just a nice person in love

721
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 14: by everybody, I think. But we're co back to the

Speaker 14: house and there all these back with the trash cans

723

00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 14: guy with a camera and the guy with the camera's

725
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 14: from the Daily Mail, and uh, he goes you know,

726
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 14: I was trying to be nice, but what are you

00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 14: doing at my house?

728
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 12: Yeah?

729
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 14: I don't like that, so but anyway, I was trying

730
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 14: to be nice because I'm on camera. You just got

731
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 14: your shirts got canceled. What do you have to say

732
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 14: to Fox News? And I was like, you know, I

733
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 14: haven't talked to Fox about it. I got to figure

734
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 14: out about my contract and I don't really have anything

735
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 14: to say. And my wife goes, I've got something to say,

736
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 14: and we try to keep that to a minimum. You know,

737
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 14: she's a she's the kind of person who never lies.

738
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 14: And I was like, oh, and the guy goes, what

739
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 14: do you have to say? And she goes Fox News?

740
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 13: And I was like, oh, and were you never more

741
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 13: in love with her than in that moment?

742
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 12: No, I was.

743
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 14: So I was like, Susie, you can't say that, and

744
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 14: she goes, why I think that? And I said, because

745
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 14: I got all these kids and like family and stuff,

746
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 14: you can't talk like that. And she goes, well, I

747
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 14: think that, and that's what I think, and I'm not

748
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 14: gonna lie. So I go in and I call the editor.

749
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 14: I knew the editor of the Daily Mail, and I

750
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 14: was like, my wife, so I just wanted you didn't know,

751
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 14: but very sweet person, very sincere. Christian can't have her

752
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 14: using the effort on camera? Can you not run that?

753
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 14: And he's like, okay, isn't that nice yet? And so

754
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 14: I go in and I tell my wife I want

755
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 14: to my bedroom and called him right away, and she goes,

756
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 14: what I want to be quotas I think that she

757
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 14: was mad. Actually the real reason that she was mad

758
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 14: every year they would send me bottles of wine for Christmas. Well,

759
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 14: they didn't know, they didn't care. I mean, they just

760
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 14: sent me bottles one. I thought it was really nice. Whatever,

761
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 14: give them to my kids or give them to friends

762
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 14: or whatever. I'm sure it was good wine. I don't

763
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 14: know my wife and always be like, but you don't

764
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 14: drink and they send you bottles of wine. I mean

765
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 14: that's so thoughtless. They don't even know who you are.

766
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 14: And I was like, it's my employer. I don't I

767
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 14: don't care. I don't want some personal relationship with an employer.

768
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 14: I mean they're nice. They were super nice from the

769
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 14: day I started till the day they fired me. They

770
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 14: were nice to me, So I'm not mad at them

771
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 14: at all. But she thought that just bugged her. You know,

772
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 14: she doesn't live in that world at all. She lives

773
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 14: in a world of total sincerity and honesty.

774
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 13: You and now some of your kids are married.

775
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 14: One married, two engaged.

776
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 13: What do you and your wife in vision or hope

777
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 13: for your years as grandparents.

778
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 14: I'm really about quantity, not quality. I feel the same

779
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 14: way about kids as I do about say, a buffet

780
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 14: at Shony's. I just want a lot of it, and

781
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 14: so I would like a lot of grandchildren. And you'll

782
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 14: notice in the Hebrew Bible, wealth and stature are measured

783
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 14: not by like the quality of your kids, by the number.

784
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 14: It's like his descendants replentiful, and I feel that way. Sorry,

785
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 14: I don't something wrong as a shallow person. So my

786
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 14: goal is to sit in my declining years, which are

787
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 14: probably fast approaching, at the end of the table, and

788
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 14: look out on the sea of people who vaguely look

789
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 14: like me chatting away, and I turn my hearing aids

790
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 14: off into sort of look noble like that.

791
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 8: Got to admire what you've been able to do, not

792
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 8: to weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses.

00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: It's it's it's woke Wednesday.

825
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: Thank you highlight our vest screaming lady from the first inauguration.

826
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: I wonder where she he they them was during the

827
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four inauguration. Do you think they've learned from

828
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: their past mistakes of being the most memed individual on

829
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: the planet or when did the same thing for the

830
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: second elect or second inauguration?

831
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

832
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: I would love to see where person is for this

833
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: woke Wednesday. I thought this was appropriate. It is only

834
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: the Wokes that think that you're racists that are actually

835
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: racist themselves. The most race I think Thomas Soul has

836
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: a quote that says something around this. The most racist

837
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: people on the planet are the people that are fighting

838
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: so hard to keep racism alive. This is one of

839
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: the byproducts of that. Watched this and laugh with me

840
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: at her together.

841
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: So I'm in my beautiful city LA.

842
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 15: And I have friends texting me like, all morning, my

843
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 15: gardner didn't show up, my housekeeper didn't show up. Oh

844
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 15: my farmer's market was closed. Everyone's scared. Well, this is

845
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 15: not going to just happen in LA. And you one

846
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 15: percenters that only voted for Trump because of money, Guess

847
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 15: what You're gonna have to do your own dishes, or

848
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 15: clean your own house, or mowing your own lawn and

849
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 15: ohe that wonderful produce, the organic produce you get for

850
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 15: your brunches all gone. Yeah, even actually have to do

851
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 15: some work around your house. These people are.

852
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: Important, Okay, Lady one, talk about privilege. If this lady's like,

853
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: oh my gardener didn't show up, I couldn't go to

854
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: the farmer's market. I might have to clean my own

855
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: dishes and do my own clean my own toilet. Wow,

856
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: it's something that we all have to do every day.

857
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: And then to sit there and say, it's only the

858
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: brown people that are able to do that, because nobody

859
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: else is capable of doing any of those those tasks.

860
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: And I wish that the people could hear themselves, except

861
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: for the fact that I don't think they would do anything.

862
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: I think if you played this video back, this lady

863
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: would go, yeah, that's exactly what I said, and not

864
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: really understand the implications that she's making and how racist

865
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: she actually does sound. Like I said, the only racist

866
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: that exists fervently are the ones who are on the

867
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: LIB side of the AIP pretending that they are the

868
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: race crusaders. That's gonna do it for us here at

869
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: Turning Points. And I appreciate you sticking around, tuning in

870
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk and the best of the Charlie Kirk Show. Oh,

871
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: actually from SAS is going to take us out. We'll

872
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: see tomorrow, same time, same place.

873
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 2: God bless America.

874
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 9: So Josh and Dave, welcome to Turning Point, USA. Welcome

875
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 9: to Tampa, and give it up for both these men.

876
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 3: Again, it's.

877
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 9: So we have a clock here we can blow through

878
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 9: that if this is going well and respectful and spirited.

879
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 9: I first wanted to start by introducing both these men

880
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 9: Josh Hammer, Newsweek, Josh Hammer's Show. Josh is a very

881
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 9: passionate and eloquent defender of ISRAE and also was a

882
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 9: great friend and someone that we talk about a lot

883
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 9: of other issues as well. So Josh, welcome, great to

884
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 9: have you, great to be a true also Dave Smith.

885
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 9: Dave is comedian a lot of fans if you ares

886
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 9: here in the audience, Dave and also a libertarian, and

887
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 9: we're not going to talk much about that, but we're

888
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 9: talking about how much we agreed backstage on certain things,

889
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 9: and Dave means a lot that you made work here.

890
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 9: You took an awful flight to get here from halfway

891
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 9: across the country, and so Dave, you could plug your

892
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 9: stuff as well, because I don't know the name of

893
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 9: your show and stuff, but I want to start with this.

894
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 9: I want to start with opening statements, if you will.

895
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 9: There are three big things that I want to cover,

896
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 9: and we just did a focus group with some of

897
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 9: our students here earlier. The three big things want to cover.

898
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 9: We want to cover the twelve day war between Israel

899
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 9: and Iran.

900
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 3: What do we think of that? Good?

901
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 8: Bad?

902
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 9: How did Trump handle it? Number two, we want to

903
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 9: talk about the appeared, the fake or the real amount

904
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 9: of Israeli influence in American politics from APAC to how

905
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 9: congressmen are involved and kind of have our discussion debate.

906
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 9: And then finally, it's one thing to be against stuff.

907
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 9: Everybody you can always you know, I don't like this.

908
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 9: I don't like that. I want both of these men

909
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 9: to present what their solution is, their proposition of how

910
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 9: what they are proposing. So with that, though, Dave, I

911
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 9: thought it would be helpful. This is your first turning

912
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 9: point event some people aren't familiar with your work. Introduce yourself,

913
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 9: make an introductory statement, and the floor is yours, my friend.

914
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 7: Well, thank you very much, and thank you guys for

915
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 7: having me.

916
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, as as as.

917
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 7: Charlie mentioned, I took a flight here, so I'm going

918
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 7: on no sleep, so if Josh wins, it doesn't count.

919
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 7: But I'm a stand up comedian and I'm also a libertarian.

920
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 7: I'm really a follower of the greatest congressman who's ever lived,

921
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 7: who is doctor Ron Paul, who is turning ninety years old.

922
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 7: Happy birthday to him. And it as far as look,

923
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 7: I would say, I think that American foreign policy for

924
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 7: my entire life has been insane, and like criminally insane.

925
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 7: We've launched war after war. We've talked about peace through

926
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 7: strength the whole time, but all we've gotten is permanent

927
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 7: militarism and forever wars against countries that pose no threat

928
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 7: to US, And a huge part of the reason why

929
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 7: we've embarked on this is because the neo Conservatives hijacked

930
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 7: our foreign policy and they were in power after nine

931
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 7: to eleven, and the neo Conservatives, as everybody who's followed

932
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 7: it knows, were joined at the hip with the Lekud party.

933
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 7: That's just a fact. They all admitted in their own words.

934
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 7: And you can go back and you can read the

935
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 7: Clean Break Memo. You can read the companion piece Coping

936
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 7: with Crumbling States. This was written by David Wormser and

937
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 7: Richard Pearl, and they laid out their plant.

938
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 12: Now.

939
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 7: Their plan was that to help Israel, the Clean Break

940
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 7: is a break from the peace process, a break from Oslow,

941
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 7: which was designed to give the Palestinians their own state.

942
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 7: And these neo conservative geniuses decided that instead of the

943
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 7: Israelis making peace with the Palestinians, they could just have

944
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 7: the US overthrow all of the surrounding governments that were

945
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 7: giving Israel a hard time. And this is where for

946
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 7: Star General Wesley Clark says that he saw the plans

947
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 7: right after nine to eleven to overthrow seven countries in

948
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 7: the next five years.

949
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 12: And what was the last country on that list, it

950
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 12: was Iran.

951
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 7: Okay, this is a big part of what the whole

952
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 7: conflict is about.

953
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 12: Now.

954
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 7: The neo conservatives, neo conservative has kind of become like

955
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 7: a pejorative for warhawks these days.

956
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 12: And don't get me wrong, I support that.

957
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 7: Keep calling them neocons, But the actual neo conservatives, the

958
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 7: self identified neo conservatives, aren't really in power anymore.

959
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 12: But Benjamin Netanyahu.

960
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 7: Is still in power in Israel and the Lacud party

961
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 7: is still pushing for this.

962
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 12: Now. I want very quickly. I'll try to not go

963
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 12: too long here, I bet. Okay.

964
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 7: They actually did focus group testing back in the nineties

965
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 7: before the first Gulf War in Iraq. And you know,

966
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 7: Americans weren't really moved by we have to reinstall the

967
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 7: king of Kuwait, but they were moved by the nuclear threat. Now,

968
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 7: if you go read Coping with Crumbling States or the

969
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 7: Clean Break Memo in the nineties, when the neocons admitted

970
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 7: they wanted to overthrow Saddam Hussein, they never said it

971
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 7: was because he had nuclear weapons.

972
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 12: They said he was a problem for Israel in the region.

973
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 7: They only made up that lie after nine to eleven

974
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 7: because they knew that's what would sell you. Maybe not

975
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 7: you you're too young, but sell your moms and dads

976
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 7: on going and fight in this war. And by the way,

977
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 7: when they talked about wanting to overthrow Iran, it was

978
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 7: the same thing. Never had nothing to do with a

979
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 7: nuclear threat. That's just the thing they use now is

980
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 7: the excuse. So, yes, there is tremendous influence by Israel

981
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 7: in our government. That doesn't mean I'm subscribing to some

982
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 7: crazy conspiracy or telling you to hate Jewish people.

983
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 12: I'm Jewish.

984
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 7: I'm just saying they have influence, they've used it in

985
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 7: a very negative way, and we should reject this insane

986
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,439
Speaker 7: foreign policy and embrace the foreign policy that doctor Ron

987
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 7: Paul advocated, which is the foreign policy of the Founding Fathers.

988
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 7: Stay out of entangling Alliance says, stay out of unnecessary wars,

989
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 7: be friends with the world, and trade with the world.

990
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 12: That's the key to prosperity. Thank you, Dave.

991
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 9: Josh opening statement. Feel free to respond, and then we'll

992
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 9: proceed as we go. So that was about three and

993
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 9: a half four minutes, so same amount of time, all right,

994
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 9: So it's.

995
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 16: Really great to be here. Thank you Charlie for having me.

996
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 16: Thank you turning point for having me back. It's really

997
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 16: wonderful to be at this amazing conference. You know, Dave

998
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 16: Joe that he didn't get any sleep last night. Say's

999
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 16: actually also a fast day on the Jewish calendar. I'm

1000
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 16: not eating or even drinking water. So we're all on

1001
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 16: the same page here.

1002
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 12: We're all just totally screwed.

1003
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 16: So you can kind of get off the same start

1004
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 16: starting place there. Look, there's a lot of substance to

1005
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 16: respond to. I'll just really briefly do that and then

1006
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 16: talk about what I actually want to talk about. In

1007
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 16: my opening remarks, Dave mentioned this alleged coordination between the

1008
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 16: neo Conservatives, which I presume he means Bush era foreign

1009
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 16: policy and the Lacud Party. I presume half of you

1010
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 16: probably don't even know what the Lacude Party is. It's

1011
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 16: referring to the Israeli Right. It's very instructive, and Dave

1012
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 16: always conveniently and neallet to inform the audience of this

1013
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 16: that the actual leader of the Israeli right back in

1014
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 16: two thousand and two, men by the name of Ariol Sharon,

1015
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 16: vehemently opposed the Bush administration going into a rock. So

1016
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 16: this whole notion that Israel is talking America into foreign

1017
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 16: wars is total nonsense. Actually, twenty eleven, when the Obama

1018
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,439
Speaker 16: administration toppled Momar Kadaffi in Libya, is actually well known

1019
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 16: that Libya actually sent secret diplomatic envoys to Israel trying

1020
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 16: to tell them to then talk to the United States

1021
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 16: and France, who talk NATO off of that attack.

1022
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 12: There.

1023
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 8: Got to admire what you've been able to do, not

1024
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 8: to weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses.

1025
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 9: At Turning Point USA. We've spent thirteen years building the machine,

1026
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 9: and last year we sought payoff. Our grassroots army is

1027
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 9: making a real difference. Help us keep the momentum going.

1028
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 9: Donate today and keep tp USA strong on campuses across America.

1029
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 10: And for a gift of any amount, you'll receive your

1030
