00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: all of you hanging out with us. I am still

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. For the next several days at

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: our iHeart Studios here.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Much to discuss.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: Buck is in can France on the French Riviera right now.

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: I believe as we speak, it would be what about

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: six pm over there, And it's actually interesting why he's there,

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: because it speaks to the growth of the show, but

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: also a lot of advertisers suddenly clamoring to be on

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: this show, and so he is meeting with many of

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: the biggest brands in America that have suddenly realized, Hey,

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: these guys talk to a huge population all over the country.

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: And I've made jokes about this before, and we're going

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: to get into a lot of serious things. But it

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: is somewhat funny to me that we've been doing this

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: show for four years and not one car company has

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: ever advertised on this show, not one restaurant has ever

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: advertised on this show. Not one beer has ever advertised

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: on this show, Not one liquor company has ever advertised

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: on this show, and then suddenly you're finding out, Oh,

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: by the way.

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: They all should be.

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: And you guys have a lot of money to spend,

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: and you do go to restaurants, and you do buy cars,

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: and you like to watch sports and movies and everything

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: else that the general suave of America would be all about.

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: And so suddenly everybody is clamoring to buy ads on

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: this program. You'll probably start to hear it. I was

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: with We had a great event down in Palm Beach

33
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: for all of our advertisers a couple weeks ago, and

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: the guys at Price Pick said, yeah, you're the best

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: advertisement that we have bought in the history basically at

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Price Picks. So you guys sign up, you guys respond,

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: and we know all of our advertisers. We love them.

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of different directions that all of

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: that is headed. But that is where Buck is. So

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: he is going to be on the French Riviera. There's

41
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: probably some good AI memes that you guys can create

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: of Buck advertising on the French Riviera with all of

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: the big wigs at iHeart, but that is where he

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: is going to be. I will be with you solo

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: entirely this week, so let's dive into everything that took place.

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: A good time to be in DC, lots of different

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: news taking place over the weekend. I thought we saw

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: a very crystallized version of the way in which you

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: see the world and the way in which, to a

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: large extent, you see the country, And in particular that

51
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: was surrounding the military parade that took place here Saturday

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: in Washington, DC, and I thought was comp I thought

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: it was historically resonant. When you saw all of the

54
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: different army uniforms throughout history, it felt to me like

55
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: somewhat of a walking distillation of a Smithsonian Museum, which

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: if you have been to Washington, d C.

57
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: You have likely toured.

58
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: I spent Father's Day, and Happy Father's Day to all

59
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: the great dads out there and all of the people

60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: who are helping to raise the next generation of young

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: men and young women all over the country, and the

62
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: importance of dads I think probably drastically underrated. I may

63
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: dive into that a bit during the course of today's program,

64
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: but I spent Father's Day with my seventeen year old

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: he just finished his junior year in high school.

66
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: We went to the Air and Space Museum.

67
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: That was what he was really excited to do, and

68
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: so we were just there, like a lot of dads

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: and moms who were with their kids, walking through the exhibits.

70
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: And I was particularly struck by the Orville and Wilbur

71
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: Wright exhibit in the Air and Space Museum, because to me,

72
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: those guys represent the essence of American ingenuity. You had

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: so many people out there for hundreds of years, thousands

74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: of years saying, boy, it would be really nice to

75
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: know what it's like to fly in the clouds, to

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: be able to look down on the world like a

77
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: bird does, and many of us take it for granted.

78
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: I'm still kind of surprised my son is one of

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: those who doesn't take it for granted. But the number

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: of people who get on an airplane and immediately close

81
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: the window and have no interest whatsoever in looking out.

82
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: That's a view that, for thousands of years, would have

83
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: been the most impressive thing that any human ever saw,

84
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: and yet many of us take it for granted every

85
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: single day, the ease with which we can travel around

86
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: the world and the views that we have, the bird's

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: eye view. I still like to look out the window

88
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: when I get on planes when we're landing in cities,

89
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 2: and there's a cool view that again, for thousands of years,

90
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: every human would have dreamed of knowing what it actually

91
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: looked like to be up that high in the sky.

92
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: And Orville and Wilbur.

93
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: Wright, these bicycle shop guys in Dayton, Ohio, decided, Hey,

94
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: you know, I know everybody else in the entire history

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: of humanity has failed, but we think we can design

96
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: a flying machine.

97
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: And they did it. And it's really a remarkable story.

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's one that gets talked about enough,

99
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: but I've been thinking about it a lot in the

100
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: context of the dual marches that we saw taking place

101
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: over the weekend, And what really stood out to me

102
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: is I looked and read and you can actually stand,

103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: and I took a picture of it like many people do,

104
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: the original plane that they took that they flew in

105
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: the early nineteen hundreds, and just think about how rapidly

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: we evolved in our pursuit of flight and then, to

107
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: a large extent, how it just stopped. And I thought

108
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: it's an interesting metaphor of American ingenuity in general. So

109
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: in the early nineteen hundreds, the Orville and Wilbur Wright.

110
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: Creation of the airplane leads to a massive change in

111
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: our ability to traverse the country and the world. Lindbergh

112
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: flies across the Atlantic, becomes a huge star.

113
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: World War One and World War.

114
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: II leads to the rapid evolution of aircraft. In nineteen

115
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: sixty nine, we go to the Moon, which obviously is

116
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: also quite well chronicled in the Air and Space Museum.

117
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: You can see the landers there. My son was super impressed.

118
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: I hadn't been to the Air and Space Museum in

119
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: twenty five years probably, So you're walking around there, think

120
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: about that, in the space of a normal life, you

121
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: could have been born where there were no airplanes, and

122
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: you could have been alive when we walked on the moon.

123
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: That's pretty staggering when you think about it. My own

124
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: grandfather was born in nineteen oh five and he died

125
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety and the trajectory of his life now

126
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: he never got on an airplane, which is interesting. I mean,

127
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: my grandparents never got on an airplane. They had eighth

128
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: grade educations from coal mining country in Kentucky, came down

129
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: and worked. My grandfather did his whole life at DuPont,

130
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: but you could go from not even ever seeing an

131
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: airplane to watching on television as we set foot on

132
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: the moon. Then what happened?

133
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Think about it.

134
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: I was walking around the Air and Space Museum on Saturday, Sunday, sorry,

135
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: Father's Day, and I was talking with my son. We

136
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: basically stopped. Now we're trying to go back to the moon.

137
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: Human progress doesn't move necessarily as rapidly as we think.

138
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: When we go back and study history, we basically have

139
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: been frozen in time since about nineteen sixty nine. Some

140
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: of you listening to me right now, I wasn't born

141
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: until seventy nine, but you will remember watching on television

142
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: as we walked on the face of the moon, and

143
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: probably in nineteen sixty nine. If you could take yourself

144
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: back to the way that you felt on that day,

145
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: if I had asked you, hey, what's going to be

146
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: the case with American exploration by the time we get

147
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty five, I think, if you consider the

148
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 2: right brain, they're starting in early nineteen hundred and by

149
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: a little bit over three generations later we were walking

150
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: on the moon. I think if I had told you

151
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: three generations from being on the moon, you would have

152
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: thought that we would be living in space. You would

153
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: have certainly thought that we would have been to Mars.

154
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: You would have thought that we would have been to

155
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: many of the different planets in our Solar system and

156
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: maybe beyond, because you would have expected for there to

157
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: be a progression didn't happen.

158
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: Now, I understand some of you may.

159
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: Say, well, the overall cost of space exploration, what do

160
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: we gain from it?

161
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: All those things? Well, I think having a.

162
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,239
Speaker 2: Majestic vision for the future of America has to encompass

163
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: space travel in some way because it expands the horizon

164
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: of human possibility. And I was thinking a lot about

165
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: that because there were two stories I thought that were

166
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: being told on Saturday in this country. One was Trump

167
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: trying to make America great again by celebrating the great

168
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty year history of our army and

169
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: what they have accomplished since they were founded in seventeen

170
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: seventy five. The other was a protest against Trump, saying

171
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 2: we can't have kings. No kings. That was the newest rally.

172
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: But the reason we don't have kings is because of

173
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: the military. Because the Continental Army defeated the greatest power

174
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: in the world in one of the most tremendous upsets

175
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: in the history of the world, and then in an

176
00:10:53,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: even bigger upset, we didn't return to a kingdom. George

177
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: Washington voluntarily gave up power, which has basically never happened

178
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: in the history of the world if you remember your history.

179
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: They compared George Washington to Cincinnatis because they had to

180
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: go all the way back to ancient Rome to even

181
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: find a man in position of power who didn't insist

182
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: on his children taking over, who voluntarily relinquished that power

183
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: and allowed others to rise to the highest position in

184
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: the land. And so No Kings actually should have been

185
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 2: a celebration of what we saw of the military parade.

186
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: All of the people showing up in cities to celebrate

187
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 2: No Kings should have been showing up in Washington, d c.

188
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: To celebrate our military which ensured.

189
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: That we did, in fact have no kings in this

190
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: country in that every four years we can pick a

191
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: new leader. They don't see it, they don't make the connection.

192
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play you some cuts. I was watching the reaction.

193
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: I just felt so sad for all of those people

194
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: showing up at the No King's rally. They've been listening

195
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: to legacy media. They have no real knowledge of what's

196
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: truly taking place. And I was thinking about all this

197
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: as I walked through the Air and Space Museum, And

198
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: do you know who the modern day Wilbur and Orville

199
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: Wright is? Elon Musk. We have been who helped to

200
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: get Trump into office. We have been living in many

201
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: ways in a stagnated technological universe for much of my

202
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: life and for many of your lives. And suddenly the

203
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: horizon of possibility is exploding. Autonomous vehicles trying to go

204
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 2: to Mars, the creation of brand new space ships. I'm

205
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: gonna go to break here in a second. But my

206
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: son asked an interesting question as we were walking into

207
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: the Air and Space Museum. He said, why is it

208
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: called a rocket ship? So actually a really good question.

209
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: I never really thought about it. A ship on seas

210
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: is very different than a rocket plane, which is really

211
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: what the rocket ship is. And I said, I bet

212
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: it derives because people saw the rocket ship as an

213
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: extension of the exploration era, which was fueled by ships.

214
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: And so we don't call it a rocket plane, which

215
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 2: actually would make a lot more sense, right. We call

216
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: it a rocket ship because the pioneers who discovered the

217
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: world and mapped it did so on ships. And my

218
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 2: guess is someone was smart enough to say, this is

219
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: a version of the ships that allowed us to see

220
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: the world, they're going to allow us to explore the universe.

221
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes words become so common that you don't think about

222
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: where they derived from. So anyway, I spent a lot

223
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: of time thinking about all of this as I was

224
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: walking around our nation's capital over the weekend. And I'm

225
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: going to continue to talk about this because certainly, not

226
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: only is that going on, the future of the Middle

227
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: East might well be decided right now as many people

228
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: are turning our eyes to what's happening in Iran. We're

229
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: going to continue to update you on that all week long.

230
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: But I want to tell you part of preparing for

231
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: the future is preparing for the fact that we're not

232
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: all going to be here forever, and that is trying

233
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: to take away the problems and the pratfalls and the

234
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: confusion that might arise if you pass, And if you

235
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: pass unexpectedly, do you want your family fighting over what

236
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: you wanted to happen with your family, with your estate,

237
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: with your property. Only a third of Americans have a will,

238
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: but it's not not expensive or burdensome to create one.

239
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: You spend your whole life working to try to take

240
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: care of your family, why not take care of your

241
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: family after you're gone too. That's why you need to

242
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: check out trust and will dot Com. I've got a trust,

243
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: I've got a will. I want my three boys to

244
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: be taken care of after I'm gone, whenever that might be.

245
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: These guys are experts in creating personalized trust and wills

246
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: that protect your legacy. Think about the future and think

247
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: about making the future as seamless as possible for your

248
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: family when you are gone. Eliminate all the fighting, all

249
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: of the uncertainty, take control yourself. Trust and will dot

250
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: com check it out again. That is trust and will

251
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: dot Com. There are arguments don't really have any cogency,

252
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: and they continue to make the same one. But as

253
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: we went to break there, I played that seventy four

254
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: year old woman at the No King's protest telling a

255
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: reporter how scared she was, wondering how anyone could have

256
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: voted for Trump. I voted for Trump. Most of you

257
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: out there listening to us voted for Trump. I don't

258
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: know that you would find very many Trump voters crying

259
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: in the streets. If Kamala had won, now, the country

260
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: would have been in a really difficult spot. It's hard

261
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: for me to even think about how awful things would

262
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: be if Kamala had won. But we just had to

263
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: go through it with Joe Biden, and I thought, surely

264
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: they're going to come up with a new line of attack.

265
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: I will say no kings is better programming than no

266
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: oligarchs because most people didn't know what oligarchs were, and

267
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: no fascists because most people don't really understand what fascism is.

268
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: People at least understand.

269
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: What a king is.

270
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: But Representative Eric Swallwell, the congressman from California who slept

271
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: with the Chinese spy, not even a very good looking

272
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: Chinese spy by the way, no offense to Fang Fang,

273
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: but like he didn't even get a good looking Chinese spy.

274
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: They even have to give.

275
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: They didn't have to bring in the victorious, secret looking

276
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: Chinese spy to get Swallowell to sleep with her. Here

277
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: he is saying Trump's hitler.

278
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is America's hitler.

279
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: Can you imagine being that sad you went to a

280
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: protest to hear the same argument made for ten years.

281
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's been ten years since Trump came down

282
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: the escalator. The Trump era has only increased in his popularity.

283
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: The amount of votes that he has gotten has continued

284
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: to rise without a decade the rise of Adolf Hitler.

285
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: I just I can't believe that this is the argument

286
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: that they are going to be making. And I want

287
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: to circle back to what I was saying about the

288
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: two different world views that are embedded in the in

289
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 2: the in the protest and or the celebrations that we

290
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: saw over the course of the weekend. Really, no kings

291
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: and the military protest should have been one big celebration,

292
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: because the only reason we don't have kings is because.

293
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: Of the colonial army.

294
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: And I'm here in DC and I was thinking about

295
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: that because the left is so broken. I went to

296
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: George Washington University. It's just they gave me a scholarship.

297
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: I graduated in three years. That's why I went there.

298
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: It's a largely rich kid school. I think it's like

299
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: eighty thousand dollars a year. That is just down the

300
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: street from the White House. And in the last few years,

301
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: in the wake of George Floyd. The students at George

302
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: Washington University decided that they needed to protest, and what

303
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: they demanded was that the colonial mascot be taken off

304
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: of the University George Washington Colonials. When I was there,

305
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: they decided that this is all real, this is not

306
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 2: made up. They decided that the colonials actually reminded them

307
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 2: too much of colonialism and colonization, and so they demanded

308
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: that the mascot be changed. Now, intelligent, I was a

309
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: history major. Intelligent adults should have set down these moron

310
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: kids and they should have said, hey, kids, we were

311
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: actually the colonies. The colonial army was fighting back against

312
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: the colonizer. Just because the names sound somewhat familiar, you're

313
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: actually demanding the change of the name that reflects an

314
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: army that fought against the colonizers. Heroes of your worldview

315
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: are actually the colonial army.

316
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: Now.

317
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: I don't know why adults aren't willing to sit down

318
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: with moron kids and point this out. I would be

319
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: happy to do it. I was a history major at GW. Instead,

320
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: they changed the name to the Revolutionaries. It doesn't make

321
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 2: any sense, but it is. I think the foundational element

322
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: here of a bastardization of history and an inability to

323
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: understand history. That leads us to the no Kings March,

324
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: which is occurring in opposition to an army celebratory march,

325
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 2: which actually had people dressed up as members of the

326
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: colonial army who ensured that we were not going to

327
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: be ruled by kings. One of the lessons of history

328
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: is if you don't know it, you can get manipulated

329
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: in a significant way.

330
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: And these kids are paying eighty thousand dollars.

331
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: Dollars a year to go to GW and they are

332
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: demanding that the colonial moniker be pulled away. And it's

333
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 2: not coincidental that the university listen to the morons change

334
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: the name to Revolutionaries, and then within about a year

335
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: and a half, two years of changing the name of

336
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: the mascot, the campus was taken over by anti Israel protesters.

337
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: All of this is connected. It's important to recognize how

338
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: we get to where we are. It's often a progression.

339
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: If you destroy history, if you destroy our knowledge of history,

340
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: and you make everybody have the memory of a goldfish,

341
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: then you can actually end up with millions of people

342
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 2: in this country showing up thinking they're on the right

343
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: side of history arguing for no kings, while Trump is

344
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: actually celebrating the fact that we don't have kings by

345
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: having people dressed up as colonial soldiers march marchdown Constitution Avenue,

346
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: and they're out there arguing that this is an example

347
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: of fascism hilarian in nature, and this is where American

348
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 2: democracy dies. They have so lost the plot that they're

349
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: actually arguing in favor of in favor of the same

350
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: thing that the march is. But they're not intelligent enough

351
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: to make that connection, and they've.

352
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: Moved from.

353
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: Trump is never going to leave office to I don't

354
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: even know what their argument is now, and I think

355
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: it's why.

356
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: It's continuing to fail.

357
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: But I tie this all back in with the way

358
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: I started off the program, and I really do think

359
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: that this is important. Air and Space Museum. I just

360
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: want to lay out these numbers and I want you

361
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: to think about it. Nineteen oh three, Orville and Wilbur

362
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: Wright create the airplane. Nineteen twenty seven, Charles Lindberg becomes

363
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: a huge celebrity for flying across the Atlantic without stopping.

364
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty nine, We walk on.

365
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: The face of the Moon.

366
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 2: Since then, we really haven't progressed in our exploration until

367
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: now Elon Musk is potentially I think he's going to

368
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: do it.

369
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: I think he's going to.

370
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: Put a man on Mars, and I think it's going

371
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: to accelerate our age of exploration in a way that

372
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: has not occurred, frankly, for multiple generations. I think Trump

373
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: sees that. I think it's connected in even though he's

374
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: criticized for it, when Trump talks about Greenland, or Canada

375
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: or the Panama Canal, he's actually thinking about America and

376
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: an expansionist, exploratory concept that is not fixed in place.

377
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: It's not static. The American dream is continuing to expand,

378
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: and he's thinking about our country in the way that

379
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: American leaders used to as one where we're constantly advancing

380
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: and exploring new lands and bringing new freedoms. And I

381
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 2: think it's connected to the way that he's handled Iran.

382
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 2: Top of the next hour, I'm going to talk all

383
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: about Iran and why. I think the people out there

384
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: who are criticizing President Trump over Iran, and there's.

385
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: A lot of them on the right, many of them

386
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: you may listen to.

387
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: You may read I don't have any problem with the

388
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 2: marketplace of ideas.

389
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: Anybody out there.

390
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: Some of you may have seen me arguing over the

391
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 2: weekend with Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. He

392
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: came after me. People can attack me all they want.

393
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: That's the marketplace of ideas. Actually talk to my kids

394
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: about this. You know, technology can be good, except if

395
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: your dad or your mom happens to have a public profile.

396
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: They can just type in your name on Google and

397
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: there's tons of articles that come up. It's probably not

398
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 2: going to shock you. Sometimes people don't really like me.

399
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: And I've been talking about this with my kids for years.

400
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: I think it's been healthy for them. I said, look,

401
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: even when they're five or six years old, I said,

402
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 2: you guys are gonna get on the internet. Now I've

403
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: got two teenagers. They're obviously on the internet quite a bit.

404
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: Ten year olds on the internet too. They only get

405
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: their news, by the way, from YouTube and TikTok, which

406
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: is its own crazy worldview to think about. But I said,

407
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: you guys got a good choice. Now you can listen

408
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: to what people on the internet say about your dad,

409
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: good or bad. There's lots of good out there, there's

410
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: lots of bad. You have public profile that happens, I said,

411
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: Or or you can decide what you think about your

412
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: dad based entirely on the fact that you see me

413
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: every day as your dad and.

414
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: You live with me. Who do you think knows dad better?

415
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: You guys who actually live in the house with me,

416
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 2: or people writing about me on the internet. And I

417
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 2: think that's a good lesson in general for all of

418
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: us about public persona, about public perception. We build twenty

419
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 2: foot tall stories of what we think about people, and

420
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: they're often six inches deep. The media can be powerful

421
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: in that way. They're like big paper mache creatures. They're

422
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: not steel. Oh that's one hundred feet tall, Old Donald Trump,

423
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: he's hitler. And then you actually explore it and you

424
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 2: push through and you're like, man, that's a mirage. There's

425
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: not even any substance behind it. I think that's the

426
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 2: world in which we live. And that's why. And I'm

427
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: right thinking about this a lot because I was working

428
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 2: on my book over the weekend too.

429
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be out in November.

430
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: That's why I think authenticity is all that really matters

431
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: in modern day because the younger a kid is with YouTube,

432
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: with TikTok, with everything else, they experience. They're not expecting

433
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: to agree with everything. They just want to know that

434
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 2: you are an authentic version of what you claim to be.

435
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: Authenticity cancels, cancel culture. You can't cancel people who are

436
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: what you think they are. And that's where I feel protected.

437
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 2: I met a lot of different people over the weekend

438
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 2: as we were going around to these different events. I'm

439
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: really not any different face to face than I am

440
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: on the radio with you or on television with you.

441
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: There is no difference between what I would say or think,

442
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: for better or worse, and what I would say on

443
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: the radio. Makes it hard to cancel me. And I

444
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: think it's what Trump has determined and why his overall

445
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: support has grown, particularly among young people, not because they

446
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: agree with everything he says. You should never agree with

447
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: everything any politician says. Should never happen, but you should

448
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: respect that the politician is being honest with you about

449
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 2: what he or she believes, and as soon as you

450
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: find out that they are not, as soon as you

451
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: know that you are being directly lied to, you should

452
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: trust that person less. And we are filled our political

453
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: universe with people who are just weird, not normal liars,

454
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: and a huge number of those people not just on

455
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: the left, but a huge number of them are There's

456
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: lots of people on the right with that perspective too.

457
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: But I think that is why Trump has grown his

458
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: support over the decade since he came down the escalator,

459
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: because with young people, they've grown up with Trump and

460
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: he is what he puts forward in public to a

461
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: large extent, if you actually listen to what he says

462
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: and pay attention to what he does as opposed to

463
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: allowing other people to characterize what he does and says.

464
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: Nobody has ever been more transparent or more open in

465
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: my life with the media than Trump. We'll talk about that.

466
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: We'll take some of your calls, by the way. But

467
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: in the meantime, when you switch your cell phone service

468
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: to Pure Talk, you're not only saving as much as

469

Speaker 1: Out the week.

511
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: But a lot of news coming in massive amounts. I

512
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: talked about, off the top, the military parade, the two

513
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Army and how spectacular

514
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: it was. We talked about the No Kings rally and

515
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: the impact that that had, and how actually the two

516
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: protests should have just been one big celebration, because if

517
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: you're truly excited that we don't have kings, the reason

518
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: we don't is because of the colonial army and because

519
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: we defeated the greatest power in the world at that

520
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: time England and became an independent country. I even talked

521
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: about how much of the I would say historical bastardization

522
00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: of the American history has all been rolled into the

523
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: way that the conversation is taking place, including by the way,

524
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: I don't know how many of you have paid attention

525
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: to this, but Los Angeles, which has emerged as the

526
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: epicenter of the anti priced, anti ice protest.

527
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: Have you noticed how people.

528
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: Are arguing, well, Los Angeles actually is Mexico. Have you

529
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: noticed that, well, los Angeles used to be Spanish territory,

530
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: it used to be Mexican territory, and therefore, why would

531
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: you not be waving Mexican flags? Do you just notice

532
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, just don't matter

533
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: in that reading. It is funny how white Americans are

534
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: always the bad guy. You can't just say, well, you know,

535
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: to a large extent, California was not very populated until

536
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: it became until gold was discovered. It's why we have

537
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers. Because the gold rush

538
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: that took place in California made California state in eighteen

539
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: fifty and so California has been a United States for

540
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five years or two. I have

541
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: more than that. Whatever the math is. I just tried

542
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: to do live math on the air, which is never

543
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: which is never great for me. Two hundred and I

544
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: don't know whatever eighteen fifty to twenty twenty five is.

545
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 2: That would be fifty plus whatever the math is. We

546
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: can't even claim California because now they're saying, well, it

547
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: used to be Mexico or it used to be Spain.

548
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: So all of the land grants and everything else that

549
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: is supposedly so important to do it suddenly doesn't apply

550
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: as soon as people start waving the Mexican flag.

551
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know the answer.

552
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: In Mexico, do they do all these land acknowledgments like

553
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 2: we do here.

554
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

555
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: Certainly there were Native American tribes in Mexico and all

556
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: over Latin America and everywhere else.

557
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Do they do those. I have no idea if they

558
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: do them or not.

559
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: But I do think it's interesting where you end up

560
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: up in a situation where America is the bad guy,

561
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: no matter what. One hundred and seventy years, by the way,

562
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five years to be exact. I'm

563
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: doing the math on paper population increased in California. Some

564
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 2: of you may have seen me talking about this over

565
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: the course of the weekend, because I think Gavin Newsom

566
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: has made the decision that he believes being opposed to

567
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,479
Speaker 2: Trump makes him more of a favorite in twenty twenty five,

568
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: and so as he's running for the twenty twenty eight election,

569
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: which will start in twenty twenty seven as soon as

570
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 2: the midterm is over, he believes that ultimately beneficial to him.

571
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 2: I think he's wrong, because I think Californians have started

572
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: to vote with their feet. And I know there are

573
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 2: many of you out there listening to me who live

574
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: all over the country now that we're born in California

575
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: or lived in California for a long time. Because the

576
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 2: interesting thing is the population in California from eighteen fifty

577
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: when it became a state, all the way up to

578
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, that is one hundred and seventy years. For

579
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: that entire timeframe, the population of California only increased because

580
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: in many ways, southern California in particular, is like America's

581
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 2: Garden of Eden. It really is a virtually perfect climate

582
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: to live in It's one of the few places in

583
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: the world where as some of you who are listening

584
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 2: to me in southern California know, you're like, yeah, I

585
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: could leave, but it's perfect. There are parts of Southern California.

586
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: I know this is staggering to a lot of people

587
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: where the homes don't even need air conditioning and they

588
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: don't even need heat. It's kind of crazy, that's how

589
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: perfect it is. I've said it before. I've spent a

590
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: lot of time in Los Angeles.

591
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: I love it.

592
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: A lot of friends in Los Angeles only place I've

593
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: ever lived a decent amount of time where you can

594
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 2: walk out of a public building into the air and

595
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 2: it very often is the exact same temperature indoors and outdoors.

596
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: You know, we all set the temperature gauges to be

597
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: as comfortable as they possibly can be. LA is the

598
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: only place I've lived, the only place I've spent a

599
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: lot of time where when you walk outside, you can't

600
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 2: even tell that you're walking outside. Like the doors open,

601
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: you walk outside, it's the same temperature indoors, outdoors. I

602
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: had my sons out in LA a couple of years ago.

603
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: You may remember, we got to go to Australia and

604
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: we had to fly through Los Angeles, got held up

605
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: there a little bit, and my son, my oldest son,

606
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: who had not spent that much time in California, certainly

607
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 2: not as a person who becomes aware of weather. It's

608
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 2: Father's Day, you know how your kids like, they don't

609
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: really have any clue about weather until they get to

610
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: be about thirteen or fourteen years old. Prior to that,

611
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 2: it's like whatever, the weather never matters to them unless

612
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: they're waiting to see whether or not they're going to

613
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: get out of school for snow. He was standing around,

614
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 2: He's like, is the weather always like this? It was

615
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: December in La I'm like, yeah, that's pretty great. That's

616
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: the benefit that Gavin Newsom has. They live in the

617
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 2: Garden of Eden, but they have destroyed it in many ways,

618
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: and it's because of the poor choices that they have

619
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: made that have stacked up over time. Now, I told

620
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 2: you that I wanted to connect what has been going

621
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: on the protest. It's one big story, the protests that

622
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: have been going on against Israel and against Jewish people

623
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: in the wake of October seventh. This is not me

624
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: making this up. I was even reading it I think

625
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: it was a Sunday New York Times had a huge graphic.

626
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: Two percent of the United States population is Jewish. Jewish

627
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: people in the United States, it is off the charts

628
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 2: likely that they will become victims of hate crimes. No

629
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 2: one else is even close. And that has accelerated to

630
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: a level that we have never seen in most of

631
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: our lives in the United States since October seventh. And

632
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: if you are unable to understand that we are in

633
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: a battle for good versus evil, and Israel is firmly

634
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: on the side of good, and many of Israel's foes

635
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 2: are on the side of evil. And Israel's predominant foe

636
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: in the Middle East is Iran. That doesn't mean that

637
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: the Iranian people are evil. Most of the Iranian people

638
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: hate their leadership. This is what Benjamin Netanyahu said about this.

639
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: It's important to remember Iran was trying to kill Donald Trump.

640
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: They shared videos celebrating the idea of killing Donald Trump.

641
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: Iran hates Donald Trump. If you are a Trump voter,

642
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 2: here is Benjamin Netan Yahoo telling you Trump.

643
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: Is enemy number one of.

644
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 2: Iran because he supports freedom, and he supports freedom in

645
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 2: the Middle East for everyone listen to cut twelve.

646
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 4: These people who chant death to America, try to assassinate

647
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: President Trump twice, killed two hundred and forty one of

648
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 4: your marines in Beirut, killed and injured thousands of American

649
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 4: soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. Try to bomb a restaurant

650
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 4: in Washington, DC. Chat death to America, burn the American flag.

651
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 4: Do you want these people to have nuclear weapons and

652
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 4: the means to deliver them to your cities? Of course not.

653
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 4: So we're defending ourselves, but we're also defending the world.

654
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 5: I want to talk about the nuclear threat, and I

655
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 5: want to talk about President Trump. You just said Ron

656
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 5: tried to assassinate President Trump twice. Do you have intel

657
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 5: that the assassination attempts on President Trump were directly from Iran.

658
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 4: Through proxies, Yes, through their intel. Yes, they want to

659
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 4: kill and look, he's enemy number one.

660
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that's Brett Baher sit down. Credit to Brett Behar,

661
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 2: who now I think is the foremost American interviewing journalist newsbreaker,

662
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: and I'm not even sure who close second is. So

663
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: Brett Bayer talking to net Yahoo there about the fact

664
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: that Trump was tried to be assassinated twice. Now this

665
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: just happened. There continuing to be attacks again. We were

666
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 2: scheduled to have Amrohana, who is the speaker of Kanessa,

667
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: on to talk directly with all of you. We will

668
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: get him at some point this week, but he had

669
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 2: to cancel because of the ongoing strikes. Will play a

670
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 2: cut from him in just a moment for you. But

671
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: this just happened. As I was coming into the studio,

672
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 2: Iranian state propaganda television was discussing the attacks and they

673
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: were actually hit Israeli's uh have Iran. Iranians have been

674
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: told for two generations that they're gonna wipe Israel off

675
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 2: the face of the earth. Within a couple of days,

676
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: everything that Iran's been spinning on their military was out

677
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 2: the window, and Israel now has complete air dominance over

678
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: all of Iran. They are striking military targets, They're strike

679
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 2: striking propaganda targets. This is what it sounded like if

680
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: you were watching state television on Iran. It has echoes

681
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: of Baghdad Bob back in the day.

682
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 6: Listen Khan sada Ye Motejotan, Sady Moya, Happo happy gatas

683
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 6: Antmola has a Charadi sadahanid Faso Yegoboro.

684
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: That was Iranian state sponsored propaganda TV. They can't even

685
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: stay on to keep their propaganda going. That is how weak,

686
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: that is how impotent the Ayatola's leadership has become. Here

687
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 2: is a Miro Ohanna, who was scheduled to join us earlier,

688
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: speaking in English and giving you the latest update. I

689
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: believe he's talking to the Iranian people. Here, listen to.

690
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 7: The people of Iran. In recent days, Israel has taken

691
00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 7: defensive measures against the Islamic Republic, a regime that ford

692
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 7: has oppressed you, the Iranian people, and spread terror across

693
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 7: the region. These actions are directed solely at the regime,

694
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 7: never at the Iranian people, who have long been its

695
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 7: greatest victims. For forty six years, the stomach Republic has

696
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 7: robbed the Iranians of freedom, prosperity, and dignity.

697
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeat.

698
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 7: The Iranian people are among the most gifted and capable

699
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 7: in the world. Irani is rich not only in culture

700
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 7: and history, but also in natural resources and human talent.

701
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 7: It should be one of the most prosperous nations on Earth.

702
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 7: Without this regime holding you back. There is no limit

703
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 7: to what you can achieve Irankan once again become a

704
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 7: beacon of civilization as it was for centuries.

705
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 2: All Right, that's a mire, Ohana. We'll talk to him

706
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: later this week directly addressing the Iranian people, and I hope,

707
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about this a bit more during the

708
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 2: course of this hour. I hope that the Iranian people

709
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: are going to rise up and overthrow the Ayatolas and

710
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: actually provide freedom in that country once more, and more

711
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 2: stability around the world. It should happen. I am hopeful

712
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: that it is going to happen. I'll tell you why.

713
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we're just a few weeks away from

714
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 2: what's been dubbed the Rio reset. This is a time

715
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 2: when they get together of countries that always aren't looking

716
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: out for each other. They're trying to figure out how

717
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: to replace the US dollar as the common currency between Brazil, China, Russia, Iran, India,

718
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 2: some other countries are out there. It may well be

719
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 2: the greatest threat to the US dollars global dominance in

720
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 2: the past eighty years. This is going to happen at

721
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: a summit in Brazil. They're laying groundwork. How can you

722
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: protect your ira Maybe you don't want to have direct

723
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: currency connection. Gold gold has been the most reliable standard

724
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 2: for ever. I know a lot of people talk about

725
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: crypto now the original crypto. It is the object that

726
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: has continued to retain cogency, and boy, gold prices have

727
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,480

Speaker 2: Clay to the number ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.

737
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: I do think this is an argument that we should

738
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 2: allow on the program. I think we should allow basically

739
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: every argument on the program because marketplace of is how

740
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: we get to better results.

741
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that you're always going to agree on everything.

742
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't even mean that every single one of you is

743
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: always going to agree with everything single thing I say

744
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: or Buck says, but I do think, as the situation

745
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: in Iran has deteriorated over the past several decades of

746
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 2: the Ayatola's leadership, that their pursuit of nuclear weapons does,

747
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 2: in my opinion, directly impact many of our safety and

748
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 2: security here in the United States. And Aaron Wexler has

749
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: made a persuasive case that that is correct. So let

750
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: me start with a tough one for you, Aaron, I

751
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 2: asked Dave Rubin this in the second hour. Do you

752
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: think that Israel should take out the Aya Tolas? Should

753
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: they go ahead and finish the job, or do you

754
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: cross your fingers and hope that the Iranian people rise

755
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: up against the Aya Tolas and if they don't have

756
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 2: to negotiate with them going forward. What's the right result

757
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 2: now that the raids that the attacks have begun.

758
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 8: Well, I think the author should be great to do

759
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 8: with you, Clay, but I think the only option for

760
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 8: Israel is to decisively win what they have now start.

761
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 8: It has now what they've started, but the attacks against

762
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 8: Ron need to be conclusively, decisively finished, And so yes,

763
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 8: I do believe it means taking the Iatolas out. I

764
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 8: do not think that Pinky promises from the Iatola of

765
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 8: not building and not expanding their nuclear program is something

766
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 8: we should be trusting. And to the point of the

767
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 8: Iranian people rising up, I mean, we've seen for decades

768
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 8: that they have protests, that they have risked their lives.

769
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 8: But it is difficult to overthrow a government, and so

770
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 8: I think the only option really is to cut the

771
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 8: head off the snake.

772
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: Okay, So people out there who may be listening to

773
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,479
Speaker 2: us and disagreeing, they would say, why do we think

774
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 2: that who we replace, that is, let's say that the

775
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 2: Iotolas get swept out, why do we think that what

776
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 2: replaces the Iatolas will be better?

777
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 8: It's hard to get much worse than where we are

778
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 8: right now. But I would say when it comes to

779
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 8: the Iranian people, these are deeply pro Western people. Of course,

780
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 8: you are going to have Iranian people who are sympathetic

781
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 8: to the IRGC, But in general, we have seen you know,

782
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 8: I would pull up a lot of leftists in America

783
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 8: for people in Iran. These women are brave, they show

784
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 8: their hair, they get beaten in the street and a

785
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 8: lot oftentimes killed. So I think we have seen a

786
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 8: resilience in the Iranian people, and you know, the Persian

787
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 8: culture is something that is very elevated and very motivated,

788
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 8: and I think we could see a real flourishing in

789
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 8: the Middle East if the Iranian people could be who

790
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 8: they were before the Iotolas.

791
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 2: Okay, so I agree with a lot of that, but

792
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep pushing you with tough questions because

793
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: you're smart and I think you're going to have good answers,

794
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 2: but also because again a lot of these are criticisms

795
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 2: that I would be hearing from people who are listening

796
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 2: right now. A lot of people, I would say, are

797
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: adopting an isolationist America first philosophy, and they say, why

798
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 2: should I care at all what happens in the Middle East,

799
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 2: This is not America's battle, shouldn't be involved in any

800
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 2: way you would respond how I.

801
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 8: Would say, I'm also America first, but I think there's

802
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 8: a real myopia happening right now with what America first means.

803
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 8: Somehow we've decided that America first means America alone, and

804
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 8: I don't know how we came to that definition, and

805
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 8: there's something incredibly simplistic about that, but there seems to

806
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 8: be a majrik reaction that's simply because another country has

807
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 8: an interest, we must automatically oppose that interest as if

808
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 8: we cannot have aligning, aligning interests with other countries. That

809
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 8: makes no sense to me that that's not compatible with

810
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 8: so much of our history. And in this case, because

811
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 8: it happens to the Israel and there's a lot of

812
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 8: sentiment against Israel in the country right now, people have

813
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 8: decided that Iran is the good guy. That is where

814
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 8: we are in this logic. So, you know, the idea

815
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 8: of America First, we've seen President Trump have to take

816
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 8: it back and almost redefine it back to what he

817
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 8: meant it to be originally. So a lot of this

818
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 8: movement that's, you know, spamming the internet with America First,

819
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 8: know new wars, they're actually directly at oz with what

820
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 8: President Trump defines that to be. And so, yes, America

821
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 8: First should not mean America alone. And I very much

822
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 8: believe that a country that chance in their parliamentary session

823
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 8: and when their presidents are sworn in, when they chant

824
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 8: death to America, when this is what they teach their

825
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 8: children on children's programs, when we have seen through the

826
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 8: decades that they will attack American soldiers, how is this

827
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 8: not anti American? When they call us big Satan. I

828
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 8: don't understand how not wanting those types of people with

829
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 8: nuclear capability. I do not see how that is not America.

830
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: First truth of the matter is this, there's a segment

831
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: of the right that is anti Semitic. There is a

832
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: big segment of the left that is anti Semitic. This

833
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: has led to rise in anti semitism the likes of

834
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 2: which many of us have not seen. One of the attacks.

835
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's in my mentions right now, Aaron. We're

836
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 2: talking to Aaron Wexler. Encourage you to go follow her. Aaron,

837
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 2: one of the attacks that will be in my mentions

838
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: right now, I bet as I am talking to you,

839
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 2: is that the Jews own me. I am not Jewish.

840
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 2: By the way, in case any of you are aware, Aaron,

841
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: do you think that the Jews own me, or own buck,

842
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 2: or in any way are influencing our opinions based on money?

843
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: This is an anti Semitic attack, but I think it's

844
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 2: important I'll put it out there.

845
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: Do you believe it?

846
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 8: Do I think you are owned by the Jews? No,

847
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 8: that'd be incredibly convenient for us. I love when people

848
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 8: would love to say that we control the media, the

849
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 8: media that loves to hate us. I mean, I think

850
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 8: the press around the Jews would be so much better

851
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 8: if you were actually in control. So no, that is

852
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 8: absolutely crazy. And I would say that Katari money is

853
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 8: what people think Jewish money is in America.

854
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: It's an interesting argument. And look, I feel fortunate. I've

855
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 2: said this before, but I do think some people say,

856
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 2: I don't know why, just for people out there, why

857
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: you would say that you have wealth. I'm talking about myself.

858
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't have to work. I think that matters. I

859
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: think it was beneficial for Trump because it's harder to

860
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 2: buy people who don't have to work. I mean, this

861
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 2: is the reality. Elon Musk came out and actually addressed

862
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 2: it directly. People said, oh, you're being bought and paid for,

863
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 2: and he said, actually, no one can afford to buy

864
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: and pay me enough because he's so wealthy. Now I'm

865
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: not Elon Musk wealthy, but I can say comfortably for

866
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: everybody out there, there is no one who can afford

867
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 2: to pay me because I don't have to work now.

868
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 2: But I do think that arguments out there, the way

869
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: that you pivoted on it is significant. There's substantial money

870
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: out there. Rolling in from Middle East, from Jewish interest,

871
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 2: from Saudi Arabian interest, from Katari interest. I mean that's

872
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 2: how frankly, I think Katar got the World Cup was

873
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 2: they bought it. Saudi Arabia's got the World Cup in

874
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: twenty thirty six, they bought it. But I actually think

875
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: it's an interesting angle here, the thing that actually should

876
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: unite us. And I'm curious if you would buy Aaron

877
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 2: And I think this is why Trump has had some

878
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: success in the Middle East is he's not leading with religion.

879
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 2: He's leading with commerce and capitalism and the idea of

880
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 2: business first, for all the Muslims in the Middle East,

881
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: for all the Jews in the Middle East, to the

882
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: extent that there is much of a Christian population in

883
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,479
Speaker 2: the Middle East. The ability to embrace capitalism and have

884
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 2: more successful economic liberation lifts everyone without getting into the

885
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 2: nuance of the difference in religion. I think that's why

886
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: Trump has had some success.

887
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 8: Do you buy that, Yes, I think that's definitely part

888
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 8: of it. Also, to your point on not being bought,

889
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 8: we saw a risk between Donald Trump and Elon Musk,

890
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 8: the wealthiest man in the world, who at some parts

891
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 8: of his tweets essentially was insinuating, I peede a lot

892
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 8: for you to win the presidency. I would like to

893
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 8: be listened to. And Donald Trump said, I'm sorry, I

894
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 8: cannot be bought. And actually, and this is something I

895
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 8: wrote about in an article on my substat to subjac

896
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 8: dot com plus Aaron Wexler. Actually sorry plas Aaron, that

897
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 8: was my to say, but you can find me also

898
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 8: on Twitter at Aaron Wexler and I have this spread there.

899
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 8: I talk about the fact that even the left knows

900
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 8: that Trump cannot be bought. That's actually why they hate

901
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 8: him so much, because Donald Trump cannot be bought. So

902
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 8: everything the man is doing right now in office is

903
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 8: because that's what he wants to do, that's what he believes.

904
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 8: And right now we're seeing a massive splintering, I think,

905
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 8: probably the first major splintering within the MAGA movement since

906
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 8: its inception, over everything that's happening with Iran. Because Donald

907
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 8: Trump promised us we would not have.

908
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: A nuclear Iran.

909
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 8: That will not be his legacy and that is why

910
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 8: he is helping his role right now.

911
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think this is actually important. First of all,

912
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: Trump has said publicly nobody else can define what America

913
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: First means because I'm the leader and I decided like

914
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: I've made the arguments about America First. But I do

915
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 2: think to the extent that there is a disagreement or

916
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 2: splintering in some way on the right about how Iran

917
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 2: should be handled. Do we want and this is my

918
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 2: argument I just tweeted about it. In an ideal world,

919
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 2: we would have kept Kim Jong un in North Korea

920
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: from getting a nuclear weapon. It is the danger, I

921
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 2: would argue, is of anybody that has nuclear weapons leaving

922
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 2: a side terrorist getting them or something like that. A

923
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: state having nuclear weapons. Kim Jong Un is the most

924
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 2: dangerous right now person with access to nuclear weapons. I

925
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,479
Speaker 2: think most people out there, regardless of politics, would agree

926
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 2: with that. Do we want Kim Jong Un in the

927
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 2: Middle East with a religious focused fervor underpinning the desire

928
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 2: to have nuclear weapons? That seems like a really bad

929
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: idea to me for America and the rest of the world.

930
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 2: And that is why, on a purely rational basis, I

931
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 2: think it is in direct American interest to keep a

932
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 2: crazy religious group from having access to nuclear weapons. That

933
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: seems like an easy argument to make. I'm surprised so

934
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 2: many are missing it.

935
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, I'd like to say two things so that

936
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 8: The first is on the comparison with Kim Jong un.

937
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 8: Kim Jong Un is poor. He's poor.

938
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 6: Okay.

939
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,240
Speaker 8: They do not have money in North Korea. Iran has oil.

940
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 8: They have money from themselves, from Qatar, from Joe Biden.

941
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 8: They actually have There's a lot of damage that they

942
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 8: can inflict if they have nuclear disability. That's one thing.

943
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 8: The second thing I want to address is and this

944
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 8: is something I'm seeing from a lot of people on

945
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 8: these so calls right where they love talking about the

946
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 8: price of oil if we go to war. They love

947
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 8: talking about what it looks like if Israel strikes by

948
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 8: the way Israel stroke and the world is still spinning,

949
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 8: and oil, you know, gas isn't twenty dollars a gallon,

950
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 8: and all the things they warned us about probably being

951
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 8: paid by guitar or to posts have not happened. But

952
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 8: none of them can describe to us what does it

953
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 8: look like if Iran actually gets nuclear weapons? What does

954
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 8: it look like for America? What does it look like

955
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 8: for gas? What does it look like for trade? What

956
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 8: happens to the Strait of Hormus if Iran has nuclear weapons,

957
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,439
Speaker 8: right the oil choke point of the world. You want

958
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 8: a nuclear Iran in charge of the oil choke point

959
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 8: of the world. That is apttely preposterous. And I have

960
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 8: not seen a single personality and I'll call it personality

961
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 8: not authority on Twitter actually explaining what it looks like

962
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 8: if that happens.

963
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's super important.

964
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 2: I also would just point out that twenty four years

965
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 2: ago they flew planes into our buildings based on a misguided,

966
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 2: bastardized version of what religion should look like according to

967
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: these crazy Muslim terrorists, right the Ayatolas having nuclear weapons,

968
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 2: the idea that they're going to in some way be

969
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 2: rational in the way that they use them, based on

970
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: the history of what we have seen when it comes

971
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, It's crazy to me that anybody

972
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 2: would even be arguing, hey, it's going to be okay,

973
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 2: we should just stay out of this and let them

974
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 2: get nuclear weapons.

975
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 6: Yes.

976
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 8: Well, well, this assumption that's coming from so much of

977
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 8: the right right now is assuming that it's possible for

978
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 8: us to negotiate with good faith actors as if they're

979
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 8: you know, Putin's an evil eye he is. He is

980
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 8: rational and predictable. And you know, when you talk about

981
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 8: international security and like all those theories, right, like you're

982
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 8: actually dealing with a highly rational actor. When we talk

983
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 8: about Iran, there is a fanaticism, a radicalism with religion

984
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 8: that I think a lot of Americans really just can't understand.

985
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 8: They refuse to acknowledge it. Really, it just makes no

986
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 8: sense for them to assume that we can deal with

987
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 8: someone as if rail politique is something that is possible

988
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 8: within that conversation. They will not be pragmatic. It will

989
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 8: not work with the Ayatolas.

990
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: I think that's right. I appreciate the time.

991
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: I want people to be able to follow your work

992
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 2: because you're smart, funny, and I think connecting with many

993
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 2: different people out there who may not be connecting with

994
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 2: your sort of rational thought unfortunately on Instagram or TikTok

995
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 2: or wherever else it is. Let me give you those channels,

996
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: and why do you think it's so important to be

997
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 2: speaking on those channels. A lot of people millions listening

998
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 2: to this radio show, A lot of people watch Fox News,

999
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: but traditional media otherwise, for younger people, very much is collapsing.

1000
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, I appreciate that Clay, thanks for having me on.

1001
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 8: Everyone can find me at Aaron Westler. It is a

1002
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 8: tough name. It is Aryne w x l e R.

1003
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 8: I did not come up with my first name. I've

1004
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 8: actually had it in first, so I can't take credit

1005
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 8: or and you can't blame me for that spelling.

1006
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 2: Do you blame your parents for spelling Aaron that way?

1007
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 2: Is this a unique Jewish spelling of Aaron? I've never

1008
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 2: seen it before.

1009
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 8: God, it's like, let's have a therapy session for twenty seconds. No,

1010
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 8: my parents wanted to name me Erin for some reason.

1011
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 8: Aar Owen is a boy's name. Arn is Catholic, and

1012
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 8: they thought that's confusing. What I guess they didn't think

1013
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 8: was confusing was naming me but giving me a spelling

1014
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 8: that looks like the Aryan race as a Jewish woman.

1015
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 8: So I get hated by everyone and I confuse everybody.

1016
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 8: And some people also think it's a kind of black spelling,

1017
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 8: which is also fun. So I confuse the less because

1018
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 8: they think I'm ethnic and they can't really say anything

1019
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 8: against me. So hopefully that explanation will help you all

1020
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 8: remember how to sell it, which is Rynny. And yeah,

1021
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 8: I think it's really important to speak, especially to people

1022
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 8: who are on Instagram and Twitter, which are my main platforms,

1023
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 8: because most people have TikTok bring these days a lot

1024
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 8: like you mentioned. I mean, I don't even have Peoble

1025
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 8: News in my own house. So a lot of people

1026
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 8: in my generation are not watching mainstream media, and it's

1027
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 8: important that we still make sure they are seeing seeing

1028
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 8: fast and getting other opinions other than the left.

1029
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Eric.

1030
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 2: By the way, I was with a friend group over

1031
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 2: the weekend and I was sitting with a dad. He

1032
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 2: had his twenty one year old daughter and his seventeen

1033
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 2: year old daughter there, so we had a big table

1034
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 2: and she asked me how she could find the show.

1035
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 2: She had never listened to a show on I mean,

1036
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 2: I just thought it was really crazy, But I understand

1037
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 2: for people out there who are listening to us right now.

1038
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 2: You've been listening to radio your whole life. This twenty

1039
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: one year old girl, college girl, was like, so, how

1040
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 2: does that work? Exactly, Like, she doesn't have a car,

1041
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 2: she rides around in ubers By and large like the

1042
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 2: idea of how to get radio it was I was

1043
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 2: having to explain I just anyway, there are a lot

1044
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 2: of people out there like that that are super active

1045
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 2: on TikTok, super active on Instagram, but are not necessarily

1046
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 2: going to be listening to a show like this.

1047
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 8: So thank you, Ari, thanks so much. Play a great

1048
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 8: to be here.

1049
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 2: Look, Israel at war with Iran right now, and we're

1050
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 2: going to talk and continue to talk about this and

1051
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 2: why I think it's so significant to me. It's directly

1052
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: connected to what happened on October seven, twenty twenty three,

1053
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 2: and the brutal attack that Hamas launched to try to

1054
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 2: propagate war. I think for generations to come in Israel,

1055
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 2: and I traveled over there, I saw for my own eyes.

1056
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: I think it's important to call out good, it's important

1057
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: to call out evil, and it's important to understand what

1058
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 2: exactly is going on. And there are a lot of

1059
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 2: people out there that are in bomb shelters right now.

1060
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 2: Israel is not a profoundly wealthy country. Top to bottom.

1061
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 2: There's lots of work, lots of bomb shelters that need

1062
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 2: to be made available for more, lots of protected cars,

1063
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 2: lots of schools that need to be protected from the

1064
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 2: bombs that are reigning down. You know, this is crazy.

1065
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 2: I never seen anything like it. When I was touring Israel.

1066
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 2: They have to cover the elementary schools in many parts

1067
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: of the country in concrete roofs that are built as

1068
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 2: different parts, just to protect in the event that a

1069
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:31,919
Speaker 2: missile might arrive. Imagine living in America, where our elementary

1070
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 2: schools had to be built with bomb proof roofs because

1071
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 2: you never knew when a bomb might come. Why the

1072
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 2: kids are in school. That's what they live with in

1073
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 2: Israel because so many people, unfortunately are trying to kill

1074
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 2: Jewish people just for being Jewish.

1075
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Every day.

1076
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 2: The IFCJ pushes back against it. The International Fellowship of

1077
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 2: Christians and Jews. Western civilization matters. You can help stand
