I guess, first time in what 130 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 6: fifty three years we. 131 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 4: Had been to the Moon. 132 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 6: Amazing, and now we went around the Moon, the largest 133 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 6: longest flight in NASA history. So they went where humans 134 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 6: had never been before. Imagine this, one hundred billion humans 135 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 6: since the beginning of time, and those four went the 136 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 6: furthest of any of them. So congrats to Artemis two 137 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 6: and we look forward to Artemis three. The Vice President 138 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 6: Jay d Vance, leading our peace negotiations with the Iranians Pakistan, 139 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 6: played a big role in this tenuous ceasefire continues, although 140 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 6: attacks continue in Lebanon. President now moving toward opening the 141 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 6: strait of horror moves. Listen, we can do if we 142 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 6: want to do it. President had been hoping for help 143 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 6: from NATO, but that's not forthcoming. So we're going to 144 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 6: have to do it on our own, and that's what 145 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 6: the President indicated he would do. President unleashing on conservative 146 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 6: podcasters Megan Kelly, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens also 147 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 6: went after MTG and he believes it their way off base. 148 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: He called them low IQ. 149 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 6: They've been very critical of the war on and there's 150 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 6: been a big split within MAGA. I'm all about MAGA unity. 151 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 6: I want to keep everyone together because listen, the focus 152 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 6: has got to be on the Democrats and making sure 153 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 6: that we do not give up the control of Congress 154 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 6: to the Democrats. People do not understand the horror of 155 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 6: the Democrats taking control of Congress. So unify, get behind 156 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 6: President Trump. Pull across these lame Republican Party leaders who 157 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 6: I think have been really disappointing, and let's see what 158 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 6: we can to save this country and keep the Congress 159 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 6: and control of the Republicans. Here's what the Democrats are doing. 160 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 6: They're obsessed with removing President Trump from office by the 161 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 6: twenty fifth Amendment. They are now pounding the drums for impeachment. 162 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 6: There's no doubt, folks, if they take control of Congress, 163 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 6: they're going to do it a third time. The man's 164 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 6: impeached twice. They're gonna do it a third time. And 165 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 6: they might impeach other cabinet members as well. Who knows, 166 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 6: they may impeach jd. 167 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 4: Vance. 168 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 6: I mean, that's all they've got. It's just Trump derangement syndrome. 169 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 6: They've got nothing of any positive result for the American people. 170 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 6: It's just hate and that's all they provide. Hey, this week, 171 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 6: I want to give kudos to the First Lady, Milania Trump, 172 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 6: who provided a bold statement on Epstein, saying, hey, the 173 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 6: rumors about her being closely associated with him were false. 174 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 6: She said that she would like to see the survivors 175 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 6: given an opportunity to testify. So she's brought this to 176 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 6: the front and center. I think made a bold statement, 177 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 6: as only the first lady can do. I think she's 178 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 6: an incredibly courageous woman. So let's hope that we're going 179 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 6: to see now from the survivors, James Comer said in 180 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 6: the Oversight Committee. 181 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 4: Chair, that would happen. 182 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 6: Roger Stone has been busy, the former presidential advisor, has 183 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 6: been working hard to convince President Trump not to fire 184 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 6: Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard, and I'm glad that looks like he succeeded. 185 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 6: I think Tulsie is a key member of the President's team. 186 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 6: She's Director of National Intelligence, and Rogerstone laid out some 187 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 6: reasons why she should be retained. I just think she'd 188 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 6: be retained because she's very competent, and I think she 189 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 6: does a great job in her position, and I would 190 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 6: hate to lose someone like her. Looks like, at least 191 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 6: as of now, she is staying. Great news from the 192 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 6: Customs and Border Patrol. They're reporting eleven consecutive months of 193 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 6: zero border releases. This compares to twenty million who flooded 194 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 6: in here twenty five million during the Biden years. So 195 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 6: we've now brought the border under control. Now we need 196 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 6: to deport the millions that are here, and that's a problem. 197 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 6: For Representative Salazar, who wants something called the GOP Dignity Act, 198 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 6: and she wants those who have already been deported to 199 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 6: come back. So this is another amnesty bill that a 200 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 6: Republican congresswoman is pushing. She's got nineteen co sponsors. This 201 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 6: is the exact opposite of what the American people voted 202 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 6: for in November twenty twenty four. We voted for secure borders, 203 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 6: which we have and deportations, which we're fighting to do. 204 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 6: And it doesn't help that Republican members of Congress are 205 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 6: pushing amnesty. Our member of Congress in deep trouble is 206 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 6: Eric Swalwell. He's now facing multiple allegations of sexual assault. 207 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 6: Democrats are fleeing him like rats off a sinking ship there, 208 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 6: telling him to get out of the race. Someone even 209 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 6: him to resign from Congress. These are serious allegations, including rape. 210 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 6: Multiple women have now come forward. We're going to be 211 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 6: talking in our next segment to chey On. He is 212 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 6: a candidate for governor in the great state of California, 213 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 6: so he'll update us on the race. But among the Democrats, boy, 214 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 6: Eric Swalwell is probably gonna be leaving this race very 215 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 6: soon and Finally, speaking of races, Kamala Harris for I 216 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 6: threw this in here. She says she's thinking about running 217 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 6: for president in twenty twenty eight. So that is the 218 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 6: Republican's best chance of victory if she runs, she gets 219 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 6: the Democratic nomination, that is going to give the Republicans 220 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 6: a very good chance of winning again in twenty twenty eight. 221 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 6: So run, Kamala run. 222 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 4: All right. 223 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 6: Doctor Cheyn is going to be joining us next. He 224 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 6: is a candidate for governor of California. He's going to 225 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 6: be joining us from the Hope Fest, a massive gathering 226 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 6: in Los Angeles that is going on today. We'll get 227 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 6: the latest that's next right here on the ringside. 228 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: All right. 229 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 6: Our first guest today is a senior pastor of the 230 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 6: Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, he founded with his wife 231 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 6: back in nineteen ninety four. He's president of Harvest International, 232 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 6: Global Apostolic Network in seventy nations. He's chancellor of Wagger University. 233 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 6: He's a prominent charismatic leader. He gained national attention for 234 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 6: his legal challenge against COVID nineteen church closures, resulting in 235 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 6: a great Supreme Court victory for religious liberty, and now 236 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 6: he's running for governor of California. Doctor Shayan is with us, Pastor, 237 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 6: how are you, sir? 238 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 4: Welcome? 239 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 7: I'm doing great. 240 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 8: Thank you, Jeff, what on ough to be with you 241 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 8: and thank you for having me on. 242 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 6: Well, congratulations and everything you've accomplished, and I'm excited that 243 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 6: you're in this race. It's a write in campaign, so 244 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 6: that's going to be interesting. 245 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 4: How is that going, Pastor? 246 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 8: Well, I think God's using it for the good because we, 247 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 8: of course, I've been rising in the polls. I'm number 248 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 8: three among the Republican candidates under Steve Hilton and Chad Bionco. 249 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: But then what happened was is we had to. 250 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 8: Get our tax returns and five years of tax returns 251 00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 8: on March. 252 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 7: We were two hours late, and they denied me to 253 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 7: be on the ballot, and so we sued. 254 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 8: We went to the Superior Court here in Los Angeles. 255 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 8: Again Newsom pointed Democratic appointed judge, and then we went 256 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 8: to the appeals court and we lost, and each one 257 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 8: gave us just a few minutes and they had already 258 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 8: pre decided. 259 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 7: Now let me put it this way. 260 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 8: If I was a black Democratic woman that was lesbian, 261 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 8: and I was two hours late they would say, come 262 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 8: on in, no worries, but they know who I am 263 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 8: because I sued Governor Newsom in twenty twenty. I'm the 264 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 8: only pastor with our network that sued Governed Newsom. 265 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 7: And this is lawfier. 266 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 8: This is what we saw with President Trump, you know 267 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 8: when after January sixth they tried to kick them off, 268 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 8: all the bouts and then all the lawsuits against him 269 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 8: and the indictments against him. But a mine on a 270 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 8: smaller base. But nevertheless, this is how woke California is. 271 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 8: And that's why I'm running because the solution to californ 272 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 8: it's not a political solution. It is a spiritual problem. 273 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 8: And that's why I'm mobilizing a million prayer warriors to 274 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 8: be a new windskin, to be activists and prayer wars. 275 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 8: It changes the spirds climate. But get new people to 276 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 8: register and vote, because we have twelve million evangelicals, six 277 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 8: million are not even registered, and then the six million 278 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 8: that are registered, twe million one vote for whatever reason, 279 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 8: they're just thrown into the town. 280 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 6: You're convinced that you'll be able to win with the 281 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 6: write in campaign, which I think is amazing. Probably only 282 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 6: someone of your stature could possibly do that. Now, the 283 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 6: President did endorse Steve Hilton's at a challenge. 284 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 4: For you to overcome. What's what's your response to that? 285 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 8: I think what happened, and I'm just going to just 286 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 8: share my opinion. I love President Trump. I've supported him. 287 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 8: I campaigned for him unofficially in twenty twenty and twenty sixteen. 288 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 8: The turning point in our church is when I stood 289 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 8: up and said five reasons why I'm voting for President 290 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 8: Trump in two thousand, right before the twenty seventeen election, 291 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 8: and we had all these Democrats stand up, all of 292 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 8: them women, by the way, so I knew they were 293 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 8: voting for Hillary Clinton. And that was the beginning of 294 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 8: us going through reformation as a local church. And so 295 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 8: I've taken a very strong stand. But I think when 296 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 8: he saw that my name was off the ballot, because 297 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 8: Nolan wins who's off the ballot, It's really it was 298 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 8: a long shot, first of all for me beforehand, but 299 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 8: especially with my name off the ballot. But I think 300 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 8: he then came out right after that saying he's for 301 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,239 Speaker 8: Steve Hilton because I'm the most conservative, I'm true Republican. 302 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 8: Because if you look at the Republican Party platform in California. 303 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 8: I'm pro life, I'm pro family marriage between a man 304 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 8: and a woman. I'm pro Israel. I'm the only one 305 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 8: that signed the Family First document here in California is 306 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 8: a very prestigious organization called on Light, and Steve Hilton 307 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 8: won signed, Chad Bianco won't sign it, and rightly so, 308 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 8: because you want to sign it with integrity, you want 309 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 8: to say this is what I stand for, and I 310 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 8: stand for these truths. So so it is what it is. 311 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 8: But you know what, I feel that people are really 312 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 8: upset that my name's all the ballot and so here 313 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 8: I'm going to be speaking to seventy thousand people that 314 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 8: we I'm the president of Hope Lay and I do 315 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 8: want to talk about it. 316 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 6: I do want to talk about Hope Fest. But I 317 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 6: want to have to ask you about Eric Swolwell. With 318 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 6: all these allegations now swirling around, there's a very good 319 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 6: chance he could beginning out of the race Democrats Hope. 320 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 6: Is there a chance that two Republicans could make the 321 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 6: runoff pastor in California? 322 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 8: I think so for the first time, because I think 323 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 8: the people of California are disgusted with where California is 324 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 8: at think about it, where the fourth largest economy in 325 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 8: the world of rure nation will be right behind the 326 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 8: United States, China, Germany will be in California, and yet 327 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 8: twenty two percent are living in poverty. We pay the 328 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 8: highest gas prices, the highest electricity bill, we pay the 329 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 8: highest taxes overall in the whole Union. Our school system 330 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 8: was number one at one time. We're now forty eight 331 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 8: out of fiftieth. And everything is broken. I mean, we 332 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 8: have this bullet train to nowhere. In two thousand and eight, 333 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 8: we passed a forty billion dollar bill, and the bill 334 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 8: is going up. We're spending more billions and we don't 335 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 8: have one foot of trap to show for it. And 336 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 8: so I think the Democrats, even they voted for this bill, 337 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 8: and they voted for all these things, eight percent vote 338 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 8: left and they're tired of the production and the lack 339 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 8: of improvement in California. 340 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 6: Well, and just think, I mean, this was a state 341 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 6: that gave us Ronald Reagan. I mean, this was a 342 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 6: state that used to be Republican. This was a state 343 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 6: that used to be the inspiration of all all this 344 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 6: here in the country. We used to look to California 345 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 6: as a model of what to do, and now it's 346 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 6: a model of what not to do. And I'm excited 347 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 6: about the potential for new leadership there. All right, we 348 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 6: got about a minute, Pastor, tell us about Hope Fest 349 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 6: that you're going to be participating in today. 350 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 8: Okay, Well, the Hope Fest is something that God spoke 351 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 8: to me two years ago to have an event to 352 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 8: reach gen Z, to reach young people. 353 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 7: So we have hip hop artists or a Christian. 354 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 8: We have an incredible concert before Nathan Morris, who's himself 355 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 8: forty five years old, but he is a charismatic evangelist. 356 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 8: He has a healing ministry at Miracle Ministry, and so 357 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 8: many people have been healed. And so what we need 358 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 8: in Southern California is not evangelical business as usual. I'm 359 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 8: an evangelical pastor. My dad was at Southern Baptist pastor. 360 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 8: I went to Fullish Seminary. What we need is revival 361 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 8: with a capital R. And we are bringing in a 362 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 8: revivalist and I believe he's going to turn things around. 363 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 8: And I believe he's going to turn things around with 364 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 8: my campaign as well, because I'm the president and I'll 365 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 8: be speaking prior to our evangelist speaking. 366 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 4: Well, I'm excited. Listen. I'm going to be a following closer. 367 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 4: When is the election, Pastor? 368 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 2: June second? 369 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 8: The primaries is June second, and then November the third. 370 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 7: And you know, my friend I had a dream. 371 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 8: He had a dream that things were going to be 372 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 8: really rough in the beginning, but all of a sudden, 373 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 8: everything's going to turn on a diet. And I have 374 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 8: a feeling this stateum event. We planned this before I 375 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 8: was called to run. We're going back to June twenty 376 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 8: twenty four and I felt the call, and so we 377 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,719 Speaker 8: are mobilizing a million prayer wars and people have been 378 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 8: praying for this event. I believe we're going to see 379 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 8: revival of California. It's going to ship to California and 380 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 8: then we can pass these common sense policies that I'll 381 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 8: be able to do as governor. 382 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 6: Well, I'm excited, Pastor, Thank you so much. Best of 383 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 6: luck to you. Thank you, Jeff with an honor, absolute 384 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 6: stellar event and sounds like it's going to be very inspirational. 385 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 6: All right, let's check out some of these clips that 386 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 6: we've got for you. First, to Alex Jones, this is 387 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 6: why I think President Trump got upset with him. 388 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: Let's check out to clip number one. 389 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 5: When your ankles swell up three times the size they 390 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 5: were before, that means heart failure. And he does look 391 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 5: sick and he does babble and you know, sound like 392 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 5: the brain's not doing too hot. And so we just 393 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 5: cut mate on Trump, and we just mobilize against the Democrats, 394 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 5: and we mobilize against neocons, we primary them, and we 395 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 5: just fight even harder because look at how we've turned 396 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 5: the tide. Look at all the good we've done. There's 397 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 5: a fourth turning. Populist nationalist conservatives are winning everywhere, there's 398 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 5: a Christian reawakening. And Trump is just a minor figure 399 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 5: in all of that now. And we have to be 400 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 5: appreciative of the old Trump that went through so much 401 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 5: and got so much done. And that's what Trump, you remember, 402 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 5: And we're just sad because that happens. We need to 403 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 5: be sad about Trump. This is not funny, this is 404 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 5: not good. But he's gone. And that's it. 405 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, that that's not the that's not the approach. It's 406 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 6: got to be unity. President Trump's the leader. Okay, whether 407 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 6: you like it or not. How many other people have 408 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 6: been elected president three times and from the day came 409 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 6: down the escalator to today, he's still the leader of 410 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 6: MAGA and we work with him. There may be some 411 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 6: disagreements on some issues, that's going to happen. Of course, 412 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 6: keep the coalition together because it is essential that victory 413 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 6: is achieved in November. That's got to be the focus. 414 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 6: And of course it's doable. We're seven months away. Just 415 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 6: for from a pastor who's trying to win as a 416 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 6: right in candidate. All right, things can happen, yes, and 417 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 6: even Democrats can change. How about this guy, John Fetterman, Boy, 418 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 6: he's come a long way. Let's check out clip number two. 419 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 9: As you have, you've discussed and I agree, it's not 420 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 9: it's not shit, you know, but now where we are 421 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 9: now we are thirty eight days into it. I mean, 422 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 9: the Ukrainian War is in over four years, you know. 423 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 9: All these other kinds of conflicts are years years. We're 424 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 9: not even for forty days yet. So where we at 425 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 9: right now? Yes, it's like if you make these kinds 426 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 9: and let's let's go for the twenty fifth Amendment and 427 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 9: then you know, then we have we have a cease fire. 428 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 9: Then it's like talk taco tacco taco. I mean, I mean, 429 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 9: you know, like you can't have it both ways. I mean, 430 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 9: so where we are, it's like strange to be gleeful, 431 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 9: gleeful that you know that we still have to accomplish 432 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 9: some things and make these kinds of statements. I mean, 433 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 9: you know, I'm old enough to remember we used to 434 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 9: root for our military and we would all agree that 435 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 9: Iran is the world's leading terrorism underwriter. I mean, they 436 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 9: are the part of the evil Empire. I mean, remember 437 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 9: what Iran's done. 438 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 4: All right. That man needs to be a Republican, okay. 439 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 4: I mean he doesn't have. 440 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 6: Any support in that wacky party that he's a member of, 441 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 6: all right. I mean they are talking crazy stuff, so 442 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 6: he needs to just bolt and to become a Republican. 443 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 6: We could use him to counterbalance people like Mitch McConnell 444 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 6: and Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins and our own Bill 445 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 6: Hopolon Cassidy.

We 466 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 6: have negotiations that are occurring right now. So the President's 467 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 6: talking about on our own opening up the straight of 468 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 6: horror moves. We heard some reports that some US ships 469 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 6: did get through. So colonel, if you could give us 470 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 6: your sort of overview of how things stand now forty 471 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 6: plus days into this war. 472 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: Well, opening at the very beginning, I wish the administration 473 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: had applied the doctrine established by Kasper Weinberger and later 474 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: refined by Colin Powell, and that was to do a 475 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: full assessment ahead of time due to cost risk analysis, 476 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: we did have the vital interests. Iran's always been a threat. 477 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: They were very much a problem when I was a 478 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: senior anti terrorism officer for all Coalition forces in Iraq, 479 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: and about eight years ago the Pentagon did release a 480 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: report that confirmed six hundred and eight American deaths in 481 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: Iraq were actually caused by the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard CORE. 482 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: So Iran has been a threat, it will continue to 483 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: be a threat. These negotiations that's going on, whatever comes 484 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: out of it, Iran is not going to abide by it. 485 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: They never have. They never abided by the Nuclear weapons 486 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: Deal Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which was a bad 487 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: deal in the first place. 488 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 7: Whatever they do. 489 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: And there's a feeling in the Middle East when I 490 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: am in a position of weakness, how can I negotiate? 491 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: When I am in a position of strength? Why should I? 492 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: And right now Iran has an arrogance that is going 493 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: to make negotiations very tough. Tough, and they're going to 494 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: be resupplying. Opening up the Straits is going to be 495 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: problematic because even if you get the minds out of 496 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: the straits are the straight you still have the drone problem, 497 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: and those can be flown from a thousand miles away. 498 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: So it's always going to be a problem, and I've 499 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: been pushing hard. The solution is to activate the Iranian people, 500 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: get the National Councular Resistance of Iran involved, get the 501 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: other organizations involved, and let Iran collapse from within with 502 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: our support from the outside. Go ahead, Jeff, let. 503 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 6: Me just ask you this, why are they so arrogant? 504 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 6: I mean, their navy's been decin any of the air 505 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 6: force has been decipined, and we've hit thousands of targets 506 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 6: and we have lost a few aircraft. We were able 507 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 6: to retrieve our pilot there in a stunning operation. They 508 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 6: seem to have suffered tremendous I mean military losses, But 509 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 6: as you say, they had this arrogance. Why do they 510 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 6: feel so confident in spite of all the losses that 511 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 6: they've suffered. 512 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: It's the way the Islamic Revolutionary Guard core is layered. Yes, 513 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: the top leadership was taken out. Harmony was taken out 514 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: in a brilliant maneuver. But the way the organization is 515 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: designed and they have their battle plans, I've not seen 516 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: the battle plan they're operating now, but I have seen 517 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: the top secret battle plan that they exercised in January 518 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: on how to put down protests in phase four was 519 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: when they came out and the machine gunned down by 520 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: Auranzo and estimate thirty six thousand people, Amnesty International is 521 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: in it more like eighty thousand, which I believe. 522 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 7: Is more correct. 523 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: But they have their battle plans in place and they 524 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: can operate in small cells reporting back to the center. 525 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: And the fact is no ground troops have landed, which 526 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: would be suicidal because of the drone problem. But again, 527 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: activating thevolution in the southeast, the Arabs and the southwest Kurds, 528 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: in the Northwest series, in the center North Center and 529 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: the Persian people, the resistance elements are there, we need 530 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: to be applied. 531 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 6: Do they need they can they be activated on their 532 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 6: own or do they need outside help to be able 533 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 6: to overthrow this regime Because it seems like the Israelis 534 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 6: had their goal from the beginning to be regime changed, 535 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 6: but it didn't seem like that was one of our 536 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 6: goals from the beginning. In fact, there was some confusion 537 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 6: among I guess some folks as to know what the 538 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 6: actual goals were of this war. 539 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: It needs in the military of the That's the way 540 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: to take a bridge is both ends at the same time. 541 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: You cross downriver and then you come up and the 542 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: foot Both forces come together at the same time and 543 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: they take the bridge. It's the same as taken Iran. 544 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: It's got to be a strong outreach. And if the 545 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: administration is willing, I'm willing to link them up with 546 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: the National Consular Resistance of Iran. 547 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 7: It's too easy. 548 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: I can do it. I work with them continually and 549 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: as all across the country. But the problem is when 550 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: these big demonstrations have occurred, they've been separate from the 551 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: military operations. And I've i recently wrote a major after 552 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: action review for the resistance, and I said, you've got 553 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: to come together at the same time, both ends of 554 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: the bridge at the same time. It can fall from within. 555 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: It has to fall from within now. So that's the 556 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: only way I can stay. 557 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 4: You know. 558 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 6: The President had talked about sending arms to the Iranian 559 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 6: people and he said that the Kurds actually absconded with 560 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 6: all of the arms. 561 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 4: What did you make of that? He say, he wasn't 562 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 4: happy about that. 563 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: I could have told him it was going to happen, 564 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: because we had the same problem in Iraq where we 565 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: sent a bunch of weapons to the Kurds and they 566 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: kept them and actually in some cases were selling them 567 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: to the subordinates so they could actually fight. This happened 568 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: about ten years ago, but it is very much of 569 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: a problem. You've got to work with the Blush, the Arabs, 570 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: the Kurds. It's got to be across and it's got 571 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: to be with organized resistance elements as well that can 572 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: do the coordinations. It's there, but this administration, just like 573 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: the Obama Biden administration, did not work with them. In 574 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: all honesty, there's only been one president that really understood 575 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: the Middle East, and that was George H. W. 576 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 7: Bush. 577 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: All presidents since him do not have a good understanding 578 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: of the Middle East. 579 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 6: Is a different mindset In our final minute or so, Colonel, 580 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 6: where do things stand now in your opinion? 581 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 4: And how is this thing going to be resolved? 582 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: It stands with the stalemate and the negotiations they're going 583 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: to banter back and forth, and even if they come 584 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: to agreements, they're not going to be followed. And I 585 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: hate to say it, but it's not gonna end well, 586 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: it's going to end embarrassing unless President Trump can make 587 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: delivery and finish the fight that was started over a 588 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: month ago. 589 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 6: And you're saying we should not introduce ground troops into Iran. 590 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 4: That would be a bad move in your opinion. 591 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 7: Well, this would be worse. 592 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: This would be worse than the Battle of Anzio in 593 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: Italy where they got they got grounded because eventually there 594 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: they broke out. But the drone problem would decimate those troops. 595 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: And as the helicopters and the planes and the boats 596 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: came that, no, only have the German problems, but that 597 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: have the surface to air missiles. 598 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 6: All right, colonel, thank you so much for joining us. 599 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 6: Appreciate your perspective on what really the world is talking 600 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 6: about here, what's going on in Iran? 601 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 4: All right? 602 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 6: We talked earlier about California and the outgoing governor has 603 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 6: got a lunatic for a wife. I mean, this woman 604 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 6: is something else. I cannot imagine her as first lady. 605 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 6: Let's check out clip number three. 606 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 2: I've given our boys dolls. 607 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 10: Even if they tear that off, I've given them dolls 608 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 10: to learn that care and caregiving is not just an 609 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 10: activity that's reserved for women, but that it's also an 610 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 10: activity that is a responsibility of men. What I've done 611 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 10: with both my daughters and my sons is if I'm 612 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 10: reading a book and the protagonist as a male, I 613 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 10: just changed the heat of a she, and it just 614 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 10: normalizes for my sons. In particularly, it's not even I 615 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 10: don't even just do it for my girls. I do 616 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,719 Speaker 10: it for my sons because I want them to see 617 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 10: that women can be the center of a story, that 618 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 10: women matter, that women are interesting. At the end of 619 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 10: the day, we're all kind of like in this place 620 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 10: in the history maybe where we're recognizing what it is 621 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 10: to ultimately deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human. 622 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 10: And that's exciting to me. So, you know, I'll just 623 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 10: continue to kind of do my work and try and 624 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 10: deconstruct all of these like limiting narratives about ultimately what 625 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 10: it means to be human. 626 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 4: Oh my god, good luck. 627 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 6: Gavin Okay, a guy who just received a second endorsement 628 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 6: from President Trump, is Lindsay Graham. Now, I can't tell 629 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 6: you how much I despise this guy. I think he 630 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 6: is a horrible Neocon. He's someone that I think is 631 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 6: not a true conservative. I can't imagine the people of 632 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 6: South Carolina wanting him again. I've interviewed the gentleman who's 633 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 6: running against him, President Trump coming back for Lindsey Graham. 634 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 6: But let's remind everyone how the people of South Carolina 635 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 6: really feel about Lindsey Graham. This is in Pickins, South Carolina, 636 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four. This is how they greeted Lindsey Graham. 637 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 6: Let's check out clip number four. 638 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 11: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome United States Senator Lindsey Graham. 639 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 2: The good sens to. 640 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 12: Thank you, welcome to Pickens. 641 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: They love him. 642 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 4: Oh, they love him. 643 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 6: That's yeah, that's how they really feel about Lindsey Graham. Hey, 644 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 6: let's go further north to the country.

Most Americans can and 708 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 19: place Nigeria on a map. But it's not only the 709 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 19: sixth largest nation on Earth because of the age of 710 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 19: the people. By twenty fifty it'll be the third largest 711 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 19: nation on Earth. They're a top five member of OPEC. 712 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 19: They produce more movies a year than Hollywood. It's a 713 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 19: powerhouse and it's going to be more so going down 714 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 19: the road. 715 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 18: And right now there's a battle for the soul of that. 716 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 19: Is this trajectory going to be good for the world 717 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 19: or it'll be very dark work. 718 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 18: It's today the number one nation on Earth for Christian genocide. 719 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 19: In a little over a decade, more than one hundred 720 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 19: and twenty five thousand Christians have been mercilessly slaughtered, and 721 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 19: there's as many as twelve million displaced that can't go 722 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,720 Speaker 19: home and that the government denies exists. This is really 723 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 19: a byproduct of an Islamic conquest that's. 724 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 18: Been raging there for a long time. 725 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,240 Speaker 19: It's now according to the head of Africam General Michael Langley, 726 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 19: who testified before Congress last year, the epicenter of global 727 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 19: terror ISIS is headquartered there. Al Qaeda, a lot of 728 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 19: these international Islamic groups are headquartered there and intend. 729 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 18: To use it as a platform for global jihad. 730 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 19: The old Dominion shooter the other day was radicalized in 731 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 19: Nigeria and that's the first drop through a pipeline that's 732 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 19: going to dramatically affect the world if we don't intervene 733 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 19: right now. 734 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 6: So, Mike, the President had ordered some strikes, military strikes 735 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 6: in Nigeria a few months back. Were those effective? To 736 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 6: those help all? Do we need to do more? Is 737 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 6: our involvement beneficial or not? 738 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 18: Our involvement can be very beneficial. 739 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 19: Historically, US involvement, depending on the administration, has been the 740 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 19: worst possible thing. Barack Obama actually set this genocide in motion. 741 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 19: I can map it out for you. Trump's bombing of Sokoto. 742 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 19: It's far north Nigeria. It could have been symbolic, It 743 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 19: could have been saberriting. It could have been a warning 744 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 19: to come of things to come, or it could have 745 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 19: been very misguided and done. 746 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,760 Speaker 18: It didn't really accomplish anything. The killing has only stepped 747 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 18: up since then. Of course, Trump has been focused on Iran. 748 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 19: The hope is now there's a ceasefire that he'll turn 749 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 19: back to Nigeria. But if he doesn't, then that bombing 750 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 19: in December was just a waste of time. 751 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 6: So going forward, obviously we need to keep an eye out. 752 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 6: Do we need to be sending arms aid? I mean, 753 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 6: what is your best recommendation for how we can help 754 00:41:59,440 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 6: in this? 755 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 18: Okay? 756 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 19: So we as the United States, I believe first, I 757 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 19: believe they know where all the terrorists are and they 758 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 19: know where all the supporters of them are in the 759 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 19: government that's been tred Cruse came out and said that 760 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 19: the other day. So Trump really should wipe out these 761 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 19: the savage, bloodthirsty g hottists that are massacring Christians by 762 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 19: the thousand. 763 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,439 Speaker 18: That needs to be done. 764 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 19: But beyond that, he can flip this nation and make 765 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 19: it an amazing place, amazing place with just by helping 766 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 19: ensure free and fair elections in twenty twenty seven.

It's not just the 824 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 3: orgy of the stock market, is the orgy of everything. 825 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 3: So what I said in October on a program similar 826 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 3: to this, don't be surprised if crypto is represented by bitcoin. 827 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,240 Speaker 3: His peak that was October twenty twenty five, at about 828 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty six thousand, be not surprised that 829 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 3: it's the first shoe to drop in kind of like 830 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 3: wyley E Coyote and the road Runner. 831 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 2: How low can we go? 832 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 3: And I think so far we've seen a decline of 833 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 3: about fifty percent. I further said, don't be surprised to 834 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 3: see the rest of the crypto coins, gold, silver stocks, 835 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 3: and real estate follow this high flyer. 836 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 2: Two new lows. 837 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 3: And let's just understand what often happens, Jeff is whatever 838 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 3: the vehicle was that went to the moon and came back, 839 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 3: it goes through the floor to the bottom of the sea, 840 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 3: and other positions follow that high flyer. 841 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 2: It's just a natural occurrence of things. 842 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 3: And I don't know that there's anything you can do 843 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 3: about it, but but you can limit your losses by 844 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 3: making sure that you're using. In our opinion, two pieces 845 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 3: of the puzzle. One is active management and the other 846 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 3: is greater diversification. And active management simply means most of 847 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 3: us have the majority of our life save these thanks 848 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 3: to the securities industry.

But 853 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 3: I'm saying we're let's not go back to the past. 854 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 3: Let's learn from the endowments. They limit their losses, they 855 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 3: go to cash periodically as needed, and then back into 856 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 3: risk gusts as we. 857 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 6: John to the We thank you so much.
