1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't look, didn't sound good, and lied last night.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna find that surprising. We'll talk about that.

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: We have a former NBA player talking about the culture

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: war and what's going on with the Durham investigation. All

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: that's coming up on them. Right. You know something we

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: don't think about enough, something we don't talk about often enough.

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: I know it's something we've discussed on this show, but

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: we won't talk about it enough is other countries, other

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: world leaders, and their access to our president. And this

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: is what I mean. I don't mean backroom shady deals

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: for Joe and China. We've talked enough about that for

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: the time being. I mean wrap your mind around this.

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: Wrap your mind around JFK and Cruise Chiff. All right,

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: just briefly, JFK and Cruise Cheff. Do you know that

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: when JFK would go on TV and speak during things

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: like the Cuban miss crisis, it was an all hands

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: on deck thing in the Soviet Union, all the leaders

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: CRUs Jeff and of him, they all gather in the

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: room and they watch why trying to figure out what

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: he's saying, What's he's saying, what's he's not saying, how's

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: he looks? He looked confident, But what are we dealing

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: with here? We got we got all these tensions. Well,

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I think about sometimes our leader, Joe Biden right now,

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: and then you look at what's going on in the world. Obviously,

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Russia invade Ukraine, China's just salivating to invade Taiwan. These

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: are nuclear powers, all these things. And then I think

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: about the fact Joe Biden, because he's president, he goes

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: on TV all the time. And I think about Vladimir

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Putin sitting in his room with all of his scumbags

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: around him watching Joe Biden. I think about Jijinping the Chinese.

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: I think about them sitting in a room all hands

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: on deck. Hey, Joe sitting down with Jake Tapper. Let's

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: watch and see what he has to say. So when

34
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: I play you just a couple little clips from last night,

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: I want you, duchess, to look at this of oh boy,

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: that's embarrassing. I want you to look at this and

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: think to yourself, if you're Gen Pain and all of

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: his military advisors and political advisors, and you're watching Jake

39
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Tapper interview Joe Biden, what's going through your head as

40
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: you sit there and watch this. We passed three hundred

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: and sixty eight billion dollars worth of help, which, as

42
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: the same bankers talk about, is going to bring a

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: billion trillion, seven billion dollars billion dollars off the sidelines

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: and investment. We pass so much legislation that significantly makes

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: makes a point about you know, for example, the American

46
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Rescue plan, what do you think they're thinking. If you're

47
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: a gene pain Vladimir Putin, you got more than two

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: years left of that guy in charge? What do you

49
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: think they're thinking? And I bring the up because obviously

50
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: we've talked enough about how I think we're going into

51
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: dark economic times and things like that. We'll keep in mind.

52
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: The problem with putting your economy on the razor's edge

53
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: like we are right now, is it doesn't take much

54
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: from external forces to just push it off the cliff.

55
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: It could be stuff you're not in control of. Where

56
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: you have a drought right now, that's a big deal.

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: I just heard today that Florida, of all things, Florida's

58
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: orange crop is going to be smaller than usual this year.

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: Like that, stuff you can't plan for, and foreign things

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: economy is right there. Europe's going to freeze and starve

61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: to death. What if latter very Putin does launch a nuke?

62
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: What if Jijinping does go marching on into Time one

63
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: launching missiles. Our president is practically bagging them too. Now

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: that's bad news. Here's the good news. He's definitely not

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: running in twenty twenty four, no matter what he tried

66
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: to claim. Here but one Paul shows that almost two

67
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: thirds of Democratic voters want a new nine in twenty

68
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: twenty four, and the top reason they gave was your age.

69
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: So what's your message to Democrats who like you, who

70
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: like what you've done, but are concerned about your age

71
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: and the demands of the job. Well, they're concerned about

72
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: what or not I'm getting done. Look what I've gotten done.

73
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: Name me a president in recent history. It's gotten as

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: much done as I have in the first two years.

75
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Not a joke. You may not like what I got done,

76
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: but the vast majority of American people do like what

77
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I got done. The big question, of course, is when

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: you're going to make an official announcement about whether or

79
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: not you're going to run for twenty twenty four for

80
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: re election, Do you think you'll make a decision before

81
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Well, look, I'm not going

82
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: to make this about my decision. I'm going to make

83
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: this about this off your election after that's done in November,

84
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: and that I'm going to be in the process. It's

85
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: one of the calculations that you think you're the only

86
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: one who can beat Donald Trump. I believe I can

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump. Again. He doesn't even answer any of

88
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: the questions. In fact, and I almost admire this. He's

89
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: so inept and just rose out meaningless terms and lies

90
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: against the wall. Oh that's because it said I didn't

91
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: get enough done, but I got a bunch done. You

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: may not like what I got done, but basically everyone

93
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: likes what I got done. Yes, that's so embarrassing. But

94
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: the question was valid, Actually are you going to run?

95
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: And do you hear what Joe's answer was? His one

96
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: honest moment in that interview. Did you hear what his

97
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: answer was? He said, Wow, We're going to see what

98
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: happens in the midterms. That's interesting because I remember just

99
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: last year Joe said this, have you decided whether you

100
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: are going to run for reelection in twenty twenty four?

101
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: You haven't set up a reelection campaign yet, as your

102
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: predecessor had by this time. My predecessor, need you two

103
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: my predecessor? Oh god, I miss it. No, it answers. Yes,

104
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: my plan is the run for reelection. That's my expectation.

105
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: So what changed, Well, here's what changed. Joe Biden is

106
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: no longer useful to the system. Remember, you don't have

107
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 1: individuals in charge. Really, you have a religion in charge.

108
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: That's what the system is. There's one religion that governs

109
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: the entire administrative state, the media, education, entertainment, sports, medicine, everything.

110
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: One religion governs them all, and you are either a

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: useful servant to that religion or you're not a useful servant.

112
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has been useful so far because he's just

113
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: basically done whatever the psychos around him have told him

114
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: to do. We'll get to them in just a moment.

115
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: But now Joe Biden is such a disaster that he's

116
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: going to cost the system valuable positions of power in

117
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: the House and Senate. They can't risk that again for

118
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. That's why he answered the question that way.

119
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens in the midterms. He's going to

120
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: get pasted in the mid terms, and then, as I've

121
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: predicted many many times, Bye Bye Joe, he'll resign from

122
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: why I gotta call off or something like that, BeHealth reasons,

123
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: something ridiculous. Now why did he fail so badly? Though?

124
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: Now we know what they'll say. They'll lie and make

125
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: excuses there where they're lies they're right wingers, or why

126
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: did he fail? Joe Biden failed not just because he's

127
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: a weapon's great loser and always has been. Joe Biden

128
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: failed because he surrounded himself with full blown communists, with

129
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: cultural Marxists, with people who've been educated in America's communist

130
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: education system, and they're not interested in reelection. We talked

131
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: about this a bunch of times before people ask and

132
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: it said, it's understandable because that's your value system, right,

133
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: it's my value system. Do you think to yourself, well,

134
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: I would at least want to even if I'm a Democrat,

135
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I would at least want to succeed a little bit

136
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: on behalf of the country so I can get reelected.

137
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Communists aren't working towards reelection. They're working towards destruction. They're

138
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: going to burn the people around Joe Biden are going

139
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: to burn as much of this country to ash as

140
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: humanly possible, and then when everything goes down in flames

141
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: for them electorally, they'll ride off into the sunset and

142
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: go work for probably a university somewhere, probably University of Pennsylvania.

143
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: They just added major's diversity, Equity and inclusion as well

144
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: as Environmental, social and governance factors AKA they added ESG.

145
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: Now maybe you're sitting there saying, man, that's horrible. How

146
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: could the University of Pennsylvania just add communism to the curriculum.

147
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: You can major now in communism? That's crazy. Well, you're right,

148
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: it is crazy. But let me ask you something. I'm

149
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: a parent. I have two sons. They're getting older, will

150
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: be long now. They'll be going off to do something.

151
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: I hope it's not college. I hope it's trade school

152
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: or something. But look, maybe one of them will need

153
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: college to go into the field of their choice. Okay,

154
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: all right, you know it will cost me sixty plus

155
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, actually sixty one seven ten to

156
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: be specific, sixty plus thousand dollars a year to send

157
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: my oldest son, James to the University of Pennsylvania. Okay,

158
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: so let's just do the math. I went to community college.

159
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Give me a second. So that's sixty thousand plus sixty

160
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: thousand plus sixty thousand plus sixty thousand. So if I

161
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: send my son James to the University of Pennsylvania, I

162
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: will pay two hundred and forty thousand dollars not to

163
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: have my child educated, to have my child educated by

164
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: my mortal enemies who hate me and hate him, and

165
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: hate my country and want it destroyed. So you can

166
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: be as mad as you want at University of Pennsylvania

167
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: for this kind of ridiculousness. But let me ask you something.

168
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: Who's the sucker in that scenario? Is it the communists

169
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: at University of Pennsylvania teaching my kid communism? Or is

170
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: it the Republican parents out there still pushing their children

171
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: with this lie that has lasted for far too long.

172
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I gotta go to college. You can't have a good

173
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: job unless you go to college. Woh yeah, son, Oh wow.

174
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: My daughter, who was perfect before, is now twenty two

175
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: with eighteen rings in her face and green hair and

176
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: just came out as a man. How did that happen?

177
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: You did it? But hey, look on the right side.

178
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: The daughter you love, Yeah, you lost her forever. It's

179
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: probably hooked on drugs already, and not all that you

180
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: lost your daughter. I know that sucks, But the good

181
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: news is this. You still got to brag to your

182
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: neighbors that she got to go to college. That is

183
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: the most important thing, isn't it. Yep, little teena got

184
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: to go to Pennsylvania. We are so proud of her. Hey,

185
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: did I tell you guys Pennsylvania? Whoohoo? Start waking up

186
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: and wizen enough. All that may have made you uncomfortable,

187
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: but I am right. We have a former NBA player

00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: calling out Lebron James, which I already love. Oh, we

00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: got a good shill for you tonight. Before we do that,

191
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: let's do this. Let's basic preparations, basic preparations. I'm not

192
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: some disaster doomsday prepper, no matter what my wife tells you,

193
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm really genuinely not. It just makes me feel better

194
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: to have some basics. Basics. Do you have basics? You

195
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: probably are working on it. I'm working on it. Don't

196
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: feel bad if you're not caught up yet. Remember what

197
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: do you need? Food? Need some kind of emergency food,

198
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: You need ammunition, You need a way to access clean water.

199
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: Do not dismiss that. Don't always assume there's gonna be

200
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: clean water coming out of the faucet. And you need

201
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: a way to battle against infections. Do you have that kind?

202
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: I know that's the least sexy part, right, Everyone wants

203
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: to buy ammo. Oh, look at my new food. Nobody

204
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,080

Speaker 1: at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to twenty

00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: minutes of the most important issues facing the country, giving

222
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to start

223
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: your morning. Columbus, I mean he initiated a new World genocide,

224
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: he took slaves, he mutumulated, he murdered uh, and we're

225
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna say slash and honor him. And so

226
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: there are a lot of states that have come out

227
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: and scratched the Columbus Day and made it Indigenous People's Day.

228
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: But in our city, were that backward that we have

229
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: school districts that do that. I'm amazed, just amazed. I'm

230
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: miss basketball. I do joining me now. Royce White, former

231
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: NBA player, obviously ran for Congress against Ilhan and Omar Royce.

232
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, me and my

233
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: buddies a get together and play basketball, albeit poorly. And

234
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: he was Dominique Wilkins and I was Michael Jordan and

235
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: he was Isaiah Thomas. We were trying out all the moves,

236
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: and we would we just we we loved it. We

237
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: lived and died for it. Man, And I never knew.

238
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, we were in a political family. I

239
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: didn't know what any of those guys were. I just know, man,

240
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: it was sports time and we'd get to sit around

241
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: in Christmas Day. And now it's all this crap all

242
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: the time. And I don't even watch it anymore. Man,

243
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: and I hate it. Yeah, I mean, you know, I

244
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to Pop's head there. Maybe he

245
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: took a took a shot to the head. Um. You know,

246
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: this is uh, this has become commonplace or Popovich, Steve Kerr,

247
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: a cohort of other NBA coaches and a ton of

248
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: the top or most notable NBA players and athletes across

249
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: professional sports, and their narrative is, Look, this is what

250
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: what I've been trying to get across to people. I

251
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: did hear when I was running for Congress, but but

252
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: everywhere I go to talk about these issues, this is

253
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: the greatest scam. This is the greatest socio political scam

254
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: ever run in human history. I think, and and people

255
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: tend to believe that liberalism, communism and globalism are three

256
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: different issues, or that they're three separate movements, but they're

257
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: all the same movement. They all share the same end

258
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: and and specifically they share the same end when it

259
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: comes to people like Greg Popovich and the narrative. And

260
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: it's very if you can't understand that they all have

261
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: the same endgame. Look at the narrative that Popovitch is driving,

262
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: and it's a very clear and coordinated narrative. Trade your

263
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: American citizenship for global citizenship. Trade let's let's say, trade

264
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: your individual rights and freedoms for collectivism, and ultimately trade

265
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: your Christianity for faith and technology. And those are the

266
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: three driving messages of this movement, of this mainstream movement,

267
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: and Gregg Popovitch is a running dog. Our communists just

268
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: chose different talking points, but they're all pushing the exact

269
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: same thing. The stack on Soviets and the Chai Coms

270
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: that have done and still do. Speaking of the Chinese

271
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: and globalism, this actually is a perfect segue into Lebron James.

272
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: Not a fan, never never been a fan. But this

273
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: human being is the biggest sticking hypocrite in the world,

274
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: constantly crapping on this country, even though he's now a

275
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: billionaire courtesy of US, and he makes every excuse in

276
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: the world for China that currently has concentration camps where

277
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: they're harvesting organs. Well, look, I'm a huge fan of

278
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Lebron James the athlete, and I think it's important for

279
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: people to be able, especially it's it's important for people

280
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: to be able to distinguish the athletes and their athletic

281
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: accomplishments and their gifts and abilities and talents on the

282
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: quarter are on the field of play, and who they

283
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: are as people, and what we don't do that we

284
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: lack the ability to discern profits from false prophets or

285
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: people who we should genuinely admire from false idols, and

286
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: Lebron James has become one of the biggest false prophets

287
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: or false idols and modern culture, especially as it pertains

288
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: to sports, and especially as it pertains to the black community.

289
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: And Lebron James is one of those you know, people

290
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: who've been propped up who has a very loose association

291
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: with the truth, a very contradictory association with the truth.

292
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: And am I going to be one to sit here

293
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: and say that injustice isn't an issue. No, I think

294
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: we have to identify what the what the real institutions

295
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: of injustice are and how they're waging injustice against let's say,

296
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: the American working class and a thirty two trillion dollar

297
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: national debt for for example. But to say that injustice

298
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: anywhere is injustice everywhere, but you conveniently skip over the

299
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: place where you make a billion dollars is just dishonest,

300
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: you know. From the outset. Finally you mentioned individual rights,

301
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: and it's just it floors me. They're coming out now

302
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: and saying it. Here's a Fiser executive saying to transmission

303
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: vaccine doesn't stop transmission? Was the visor COVID vaccine tested

304
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered

305
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: the market. Regarding the question around did we know about

306
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: stopping humanization before it sentially the market? No, these you know,

307
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: we had to really move at the speed of science

308
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: to really understand what is taking place in the market,

309
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: and from that point of view, we had to do

310
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: everything at risk. Okay, Royce, I just want to make

311
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: sure I understand this correctly. I was told that I'm

312
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: a grammarcular because I wouldn't get the vaccine that I

313
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: deserve to be fired because I didn't get the vaccine,

314
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: that I'm going to cause a winter of death. I

315
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: believe that's what the president himself said, if I didn't

316
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: get the vaccine. How many people lost their careers over

317
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: not getting the vaccine, including people in our military. And

318
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: we now know that the vaccine companies knew all along.

319
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: It didn't stop this spread, which makes every vaccine mandate

320
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: completely null and void. Do I have that right? Royce? Corruption?

321
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: Corruption of the highest order. I mean, these people should

322
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: have to be brought before truth commissions. You know, when

323
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: we say medical industrial complex, um, I know a lot

324
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: of people talk about the military industrial complex, and many

325
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: people are becoming more familiar with the media industrial complex.

326
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: But this medical industrial complex is is just as pernicious

327
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: and and all three of them are in on it together.

328
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: And I think Fiser is a perfect example. You talk

329
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: about the military taking over the the you know, at

330
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: the time, the military was the head of the of

331
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: the vaccine initiative that was led in charge co op

332
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: by you know, Big Pharma, and then you had the

333
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: media carrying water for the whole deal. It shows us

334
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: that the level of corruption and the complexity to corruption

335
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: at the highest level is is it runs deep, but

336
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: it's not really hidden. I mean, you know, fireser thinks

337
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: they can walk around and do what they they want

338
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: to do because everybody's everybody's kicking in it. That's what's amazing.

339
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: It's how obvious it is. I'm an idiot and I

340
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: know about it, so everyone knows about it now, but

341
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: they don't seem to care. Royce White please come back soon.

342
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: So I enjoyed it. Thank you, brother, godspeed, be good.

343
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: All right. That's like stuff like that from corporate America.

344
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: That's exactly why I strive so hard to be more

345
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: purposeful with where I spend my money and don't spend

346
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: my money. I do and I'm not naive. I know

347
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: I still screw up. I'll still go to a movie

348
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: and then I'll find out afterwards, Oh gosh, I shouldn't

349
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: know if it's crap. They're pushing things. I'll go buy

350
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: this or go buy that, and then I'll find out

351
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: after it's crap. But I'm trying to be better. That's

352
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: why I'm so thankful for public sq because it's my

353

361
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: All right, what's this stuff I'm hearing about the Durham investigation?

362
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: You do remember there's still a Durham investigation going on. Right?

363
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: Just how much mouthfeasance are we dealing with at the FBI.

364
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: We found out that the FBI offered Christopher Steele, the

365
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: now disgraced Steele dossier guy, a million dollars to corroborate

366
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: it and couldn't do it. Wouldn't do it. What does

367
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: any of this mean? Joining me now, one of the

368
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: good ones, Republican from Pennsylvania, Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus,

369
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: which we really love, Scott Perry. All right, congressman, what

370
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: does this mean? Because I'll be honest, this makes the

371
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: FBI look really really really bad, which is saying something

372
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: because they already look really really really bad. Yeah, I

373
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: was going to say it's going a long way at

374
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: this point. This is an institution. I imagine that you,

375
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: just like I've revered once in your life and now

376
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: has just totally destroyed their own reputation. And Okay, you know,

377
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Durham probe continues. It's taken way too long,

378
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: let's face it. And and look, I know they've got

379
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: to go wherever the evidence leads them, But this can't

380
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: be just a bunch of low leveled folks that were

381
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: marginally involved right where. America is not going to be

382
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: satisfied until we know the entire truth. So the FBI,

383
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty apparent to most people that are watching, is

384
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: rotting from the top. We don't know how far the

385
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: disease or the infection goes. But we got to rip

386
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: that thing open. We got to tear the scab off

387
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: that thing and get a look inside it and just

388
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: see how rotten it is. And this is focus is

389
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. But if they think

390
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: this is going to mollify the people in the United

391
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: States of America who demand equal justice under the law,

392
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: they demand that justice is blind, it's not nearly enough. Congressman.

393
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: Here's what worries me. And I've had this thought. I

394
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: know it's a little bit dark, but there's been so

395
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: much loss of trust in our institutions, not just obviously FBI.

396
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: You could make the argument medical institutions CDC, but let's

397
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: focus on the FBI. There's been such a drastic loss

398
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: of trust over the last six years that half the country,

399
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: I would argue at least doesn't believe anything they say. Now,

400
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, this is an organization, maybe wrongly,

401
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: we used to revere. I remember I wrote him a

402
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: letter when I was like seven years old. I wanted

403
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: to be one of the guys with the blue jacket

404
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: the yellow letters on. Now, if the FBI showed up

405
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: at my door, I don't care what they asked, I

406
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't help them at all. Go talk to my lawyer.

407
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: The answers, no, the door closes. That's an unhealthy place

408
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: for a nation to be when you lose that kind

409
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: of trust and they don't seem and slightly interested in

410
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: earning that trust back. How do we recover from that? Well, Jesse,

411
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: look you like me, I'm the same way. When they

412
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: showed up at our vacation home, I told them they

413
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: started asking me some just casual questions, and I said,

414
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: I got nothing to say to you people. It's unfortunate,

415
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: but it's reality. In the past, you'd be happy to

416
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: sit and have a long conversation about whatever they wanted

417
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: to talk about. This is how you start, Jessie. But

418
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Christopher Ray obviously has to go. Leadership starts at the

419
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: top your military guy, just like I am that I am.

420
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: The command climate is incredibly important and it goes right

421
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: to the top of the person that's leading. Sets the pace,

422
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: sets the tone, sets the condition for what's allowable and

423
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: what's not allowable. And to think that Christopher Ray doesn't

424
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: know all the things that are happening in his organization

425
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: is an unacceptable situation, regardless of why. Either he's incompetent

426
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: or he's complicit. Either way, he's got to go, and

427
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: he's got to go, if you understand my meaning with

428
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: extreme prejudice. Amen, Congressman, here's here's my concern. Okay, you

429
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: guys are gonna hold hearings, and I know you will,

430
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: and I applaud you for it. The FBI is going

431
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: to do the same thing we've seen them do ten

432
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: thousand times. I'm sorry, I can't comment on an ongoing investigation. Well,

433
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: I'll look into that and get back to you. And

434
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: that brings us to a point of what, okay, what

435
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: do we do about it? Then? Because they're just going

436
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: to stone wall again, what are we actually going to do?

437
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: Not what you want done or I want done? What

438
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: will we do? Right? So, as you know, James Comer,

439
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: the chairman or the ranking Member and Oversight soon to

440
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: be the chairman, Jim Jordan, the ranking member on Judiciary,

441
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: already have preservation orders in because we know they're going

442
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: to try and stroll slow roll the documentation. And like

443
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: you said, when we drag the people in there, they're

444
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: going to try that number. So I would say this

445
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: to Christopher Ray and the top lieutenants in the FBI,

446
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: I hope you've got a time card for the House

447
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee conference room, a hearing room, and a cut

448
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: because you're going to set a pamp there because that's

449
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: where you're gonna live. That number one, number two, the

450
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: real power that the executive correction, the legislative branch has

451
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: over the executive branches. I hope you're willing to work

452
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: with no money, because that's what needs to happen. That

453
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: the legislature needs to stand up, see if it's got

454
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: any courage and say, you know what, you've only got

455
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: enough money to go after real criminals, real criminals that

456
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: are killing little children that are involved in How about

457
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: the cartels on the southern border, you know those type

458
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: of things. You've got money for that, but nothing else.

459
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: And you're gonna have to justify every cent cent and

460
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: we're going to drag you in here three months at

461
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: a time to go through your budget three months at

462
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: a time to make sure you don't have one any extra.

463
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: That's what's actually got to happen. And the legislature is

464
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: the one that has to have the courage. The FBI

465
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: and the executive branch has the courage to run over

466
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: the constitution rough shot, because there you know that no

467
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: one's checking him. Congress has got to reach down and

468
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: see if it's got anything and do something about it.

469
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: And the power is in the money. Do we have

470
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: the courage at the leadership level. I'm not obviously worried

471
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: about the Freedom Caucus, but at our leadership level, assuming

472
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: I know that's a big assumption, assuming we're going to

473
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: take the House, do you think our leadership is going

474
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: to be committed enough to go through with that. Again,

475
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: if you was just you running the meetings, I wouldn't

476
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: be worried. Is our leadership going to be committed enough? Well,

477
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, Yessee, we're all focused on

478
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: of course, November eighth. We've got to win the majority

479
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: first and then we're gonna then we're the conversation with

480
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: leadership begins. And remember it's not leadership yet, we've already

481
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: started asking him, what are you committed to doing? What

482
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: are you not only committed to asking for? What are

483
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: you committed to fighting for? And what are you committed

484
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: to getting done? Like you know how you treat us

485
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: when when we don't want to vote for one of

486
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: your boondogg will things that the Democrats have, the Democrats support,

487
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: What are you do willing to do with Republicans that

488
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: refuse to help out and saving the republics. We want

489
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 1: to know that plan, and if we don't see some

490
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of a plan will look We'll see what the

491
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: numbers look like. But we're going to hold you accountable,

492
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: and leadership an't going to be so easy at this point.

493
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: Speaking of the FBI, Joe Biden was asked about his

494
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: son Hunter. Well, I'm sure you've seen it, but here

495
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: it is reporting see an nst of reporting, and the

496
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: Washington Post reporting suggests the prosecutors think they could they

497
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: have enough to charge your son Hunter for tax crimes

498
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: and a false statement about a gun purchase. Personally and politically,

499
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: how do you react to that? Well, first of all,

500
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm proud of my son. This is a kid who

501
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: got not a kid, he's a grown man. He got

502
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: hooked on like many families have had happened hooked on drugs.

503
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: He's overcome that, he's established a new life. I'm proud

504
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: of him. He came along and said, by the way,

505
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: this thing about a gun, I didn't know anything about it.

506
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: But turns out that when he made my application to

507
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: purchase a gun, what happened was he stay, I guess

508
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: you get asked. I don't guess. You get asked the

509
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: question are you on drugs? You use drugs? He said no,

510
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: And he wrote about saying no in his books. So

511
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: I have take confidence in my son. Look, that doesn't

512
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: one answer any kind of Yeah. Look, we're all proud

513
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: of our children. All of us are flawed, and you know,

514
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: all families have things that they wish that that didn't

515
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: happen in the family. We get that, and we know

516
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: he loves his son and we can appreciate that, but

517
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: that's not the really the question in hand, and quite honestly,

518
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: it was a softball. Don't give us this low level

519
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: didn't fill out the application right for a firearm or

520
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: some kind of tactive Asian thing. This isn't about Hunter,

521
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: this is about Joe Biden. This is about influence peddling,

522
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: selling your influence in the federal government at the very high,

523
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: very highest level, not only to strategic competitors, to adversaries

524
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: and enemies. So that's the real question. And of course

525
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: the the you know, the person asking the question can't

526
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: be bothered because you know they want to just sweep

527
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: this whole thing under the rug and think that we're

528
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: going to be satisfied if Hunter gets a speeding ticket

529
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna disregard destroying our country and selling out

530
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: out and betraying our country to our enemies. We're not

531
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: going to. So, with all due respect, let's ask some

532
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: real questions here. Okay, finally from your home state, John

533
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: Fetterman sat down, Well, here our doctors saying that we're

534
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: fit to do it, and I've demonstrated my abilities and

535
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: where I'm at, and I'm leaving people up to that choice. Well,

536
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: we haven't heard from your doctors in six months. Well,

537
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: but you've seen from me every day. We did find

538
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: that in small talk before the interview, without captioning, it

539
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: seemed it was difficult for Fetterman to understand our conversation. Congressman.

540
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: Strokes are a terrible thing. Obviously, I'm not going to

541
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: poke fun at the man for having a stroke. I've

542
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: lost relatives are having a stroke. But if Tom Brady

543
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: somehow loses his arm in a car accident, he can't

544
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: play quarterback anymore. Because that's a basic part of the job.

545
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: If you're a United States Senator or want to be senator,

546
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: and you can't talk or understand people, you can't do

547
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: the job. Formulating ideas and articulating them are a core

548
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: mission of representing the constituents your bosses in Pennsylvania or

549
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: any other state in the Senate, the most important deliberative

550
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: body on the planet. Obviously, Look, none of us wishes

551
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: what happened that mister Fetterman happened. We hope him that

552
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: he has his speedy recovery. But there's obviously an issue here,

553
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: and the reason we haven't heard from his doctors a

554
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: look at this point, I think we all know that

555
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: you can probably find a doctor to say just about

556
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: anything you want to. We've watched them come out on

557
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: national TV for about two years saying all kinds of

558
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: things about the pandemic. That's not the point. We can

559
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: see it with our own eyes. We can hear with

560
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: our own ears regardless of his ideas, which are substantively

561
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: problematic in a republic, in a free republic, they're an

562
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: issue in and of themselves, but his cognitive abilities are

563
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: of the certain. And I would just say this, if

564
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: this were Republican, if this were just any Republican or

565
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: dare I say, the son of the former president or

566
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: the president himself that was seeking higher office or any

567
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: office whatsoever, what do you think this conversation would be

568
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: right now? Jesse M. Congres has been go get a

569
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: rooting for you. Thank you, God bless you. Thanks for

570
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: your service, sir two supervise or you too, all right? Russia, Ukraine?

571
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: I never know what's going on there, so I need

572
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: my buddy Brian Deane right to tell me he's going

573
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: to join us and tell us next. I know you

574
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: can only watch and listen to the show. I realized that.

575
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: But here's what I really wish, and maybe technology will

576
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: give us this option one day. I wish you could

577
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: smell the show. Now, hold on, I'm not being weird.

578
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm not being weird. Stay with me. Stay with me.

579
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: You know your home, in your office, you know they

580
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: get they have smells. I'm not saying you don't keep

581
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: your home clean, but you have smells. Cooking as smells.

582
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: Pets have smells. It's life. It soaks into the paint,

583
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: soaks into the carpet. The thing is, it's your home,

584
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: so you don't realize it. Yes, realize it. Though someone

585
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: comes in your house has a smell, you know it

586
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have a smell. The studio right here, and it's

596
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: think Putin is a rational actor. I think he is

597
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: a rational actor who's miscalculated significantly. It's just I just

598
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: think it's irrational. So if if he's not rational, and

599
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: I didn't say he's not rationally said the speech as well.

600
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: I think I think the speech is his objectives were

601
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: not right. I think he thought, Jake, I think he

602
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: thought he's gonna be welcome with open arms, that this

603
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: was this has been the home of mother Russian Kiev,

604
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: and where he was gonna be welcomed. And I think

605
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: he just totally miscalculated at that. What I mean, it's

606
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: just not being rational. I mean he's rational, but that

607
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: was irrationally. He's irrational. Got joining me now, our buddy

608
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: Bryan Dean, right, host of The Great President's Daily Brief podcast.

609
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: Less than twenty minutes, and you're updated on all the

610
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: news of the day, and you get to sound smarter

611
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: than your friends. That's why I listen. Brian. Okay, let's

612
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 1: before we get into Joe and Russia, Ukraine, and everything else.

613
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: Let's focus on somebody that I don't know, Ladimir Putin.

614
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Is he rational? Is he in his right mind? I've

615
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: heard rumors he's sick. I've heard rumors he wants to

616
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: be like Stalin. I don't know who this guy is.

617
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: Who is he? Yeah? Look, so there's been a lot

618
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: of guestimation and you know, people saying that they think

619
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: that they know who this man is in his mental state.

620
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is a very few people

621
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: actually do. And the only time that we've ever heard

622
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: from the intelligence community on this, they have said that,

623
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: in fact, Vladimir Putin is not crazy. He is not

624
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: at death's door. He is in fact a rational actor who,

625
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: in their view, he made a profound mistake, particularly in

626
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: his opening days, of trying to take key of any

627
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: other places. But he is not an irrational man. So

628
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: we should just just absolutely toss that out of our head.

629
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: At this point. He might become increasingly dangerous and you know,

630
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: if he loses people and equipment in Ukraine, but he's

631
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: not a crazy man. Okay, Setting aside everything that our

632
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: government in media has said, because I don't trust them.

633
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: I don't trust our government or media. I don't trust

634
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Russia's government or media. I don't trust your government or media.

635
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: Let's focus on what Putin has said about why he invaded,

636
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: because it did amass an army at the border and invade.

637
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: Why Well, his view is that the West, particularly United

638
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: States and Europe, have been increasingly encroaching on what he

639
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: used to be kind of his backyard. Right, so Ukraine,

640
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: the Baltic Nations, now Finland and other places. You're getting

641
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: much much closer to his country. So he's saying, look, NATO,

642
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: stop coming closer to my nation with your troops, with

643
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: your weaponry. That is going to cause us a problem.

644
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: You get too close and all bets are off. It's

645
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: like in China were to set up shop in Cuba,

646
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: like the Soviet Union did back in the nineteen sixties.

647
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: There is a red line, and Putin is saying we

648
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: have crossed it in terms of our engagement and our

649
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: pushing of NATO further and further into his territory. That's

650
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: his argument, Okay, have we crossed it? I asked that

651
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: for this reason, I think the normal person would think

652
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: of Finland once he worried about Finland invading. That sounds crazy.

653
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: What does this guy parent it was he lying or

654
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: didn't we cross it? Yeah? I think most reasonable people

655
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: will say, starting back in the nineteen nineties, yeah, we

656
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: started to get further and further into his territory. So

657
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: that is I think a fair critique or argument. Henry Kissinger,

658
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: of course, the great Secretary of State, he said, look,

659
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: we've gone too far. We pushed too far into a

660
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: Russian territory, Russian interests. So it is ultimately Putin's it's

661
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: on him for having done this, having invaded. But we

662
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: did contribute to the conditions. That's Kissinger's argument. That that's

663
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: other people's arguments. So people can decide if that's fair

664
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: or not. But I do think that there is a

665
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: reasonable argument to be made that this atmosphere of conflict

666
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: we have contributed to it. Okay, now give us an

667
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: update on what's going on. I saw not only are

668
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: we sending I believe it was missiles over there. Now

669
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: we're also sending the head of the teachers union. What's

670
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: going on. Well, we can get to that in a second,

671
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: but holl he smokes man over the week, can In

672
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: the past couple of days, we've had a horrific series

673
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: of events a bridge was blown up, a very important bridge.

674
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: A four billion dollars is what it cost to build.

675
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin put that in starting two and fourteen through

676
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: two and eighteen. That bridge was very important, not just

677
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: because it was allowing vehicles to go through, but the

678
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: rail line that was the really important one in terms

679
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: of the military implications. Right, so from Crimea to other

680
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: parts of Russia and Ukraine, that rail line was serving

681
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: as a critical link that has been damaged. It's currently

682
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: being repaired, but it was a big deal. It's also

683
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: a big deal because Crimea and that four billion dollars

684
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: bridge represented to Vladimir Putin other nationalists in Russia sort

685
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: of a disconnect from what they were trying to solve

686
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: or fix or heal as it were, from their minds.

687
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: Back in the nineteen fifties. Crimea used to be part

688
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: of the Soviet Union, then they gave it away to

689
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: Ukraine back in the nineteen fifties. So this bridge meant

690
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: more than just helping with transit, right or even with

691
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: the war. It was a psychological piece there about the

692
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: bridge and Crimea. So in response the Ukrainians, who of

693
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: course probably blew it up, they were like, oh, what

694
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: else do you got, Russians? What do you throw at us?

695
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: So Putin said, all right, let me sell you some missiles,

696
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: and that's what he did on Monday, blew up all

697
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: kinds of things throughout Ukraine. We can argue about the

698
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: tactical benefit from that, but what we know this morning

699
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 1: thirty percent of Ukraine's electricity infrastructure was targeted and destroyed,

700
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: So there were impacts there on the civilian targets that

701
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: they were after, which is the big headline here. We

702
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: are now seeing on a very overt and a very

703
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: aggressive basis that the Russians are targeting civilian infrastructure. It's

704
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: gloves off. The people are now targets, the infrastructure are

705
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: now targets, and that means greater escalation in this war.

706
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: And that's why you heard Joe Biden say that we

707
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: are with Ukraine forever, no matter what it takes, for

708
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: as long as it takes, which comes with a huge,

709
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: huge obligation, no matter what the Ukrainians do, we have

710
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: to be beside them. Yikes, what's bridling Zelinsky and other

711
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: Ukraine from doing some really escalatory stuff because they know

712
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: that we're always going to be with them. Right, It's

713
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: kind of like the dog normally wags the tail. Well,

714
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: now we've got the tail wagon the dog. And that's

715
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: the implication of this strike in the United States, and

716
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: Joe Biden saying we are with the Ukraine no matter what,

717
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: or as long as it takes baally Okay, Well, this

718
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: has global implications beyond just whatever regions Ukraine has Russia ones.

719
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: What are the global implications of this huge So we

720
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: saw immediately after the strikes spikes in natural gas prices

721
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: and wheat prices. We're also seeing acts of sabotage. Again,

722
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: we all know about nord Stream one and two. You

723
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: and I talked about that. We're seeing access sabotage in Germany.

724
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: One of the rail lines was actually the communications cable

725
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: was cut in several different places, the German government saying

726
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 1: that it was an act of sabotage, not but done

727
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: by an individual, but rather by a state actor. Almost certainly,

728
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: we were seeing what we anticipate to be a cyber

729
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: attack in Denmark and here in the United States taking

730
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: off websites here in this country related to some airports

731
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and Los Angeles. Now it didn't appear to

732
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: disrupt operations, But it was sort of a proof of

733
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: concept that the Russians group has acknowledged that they did it,

734
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: kind of a proof of concept to say we could

735
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: attack you. In Denmark, they brought part of an electricity

736
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: grid down on that island of born Home. So we're

737
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: starting to see this ripple effect from these strikes in

738
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: Ukraine over the weekend. This thing is getting worse. It's

739
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: not getting better. And we have more and more rhetoric

740
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: to include by our own leadership saying we are all

741
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: in on this and the Russians saying we are too.

742
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: When you got two nuclear powers, saying that that is

743
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 1: a bad, bad deal. What an ability? Setting the nukes

744
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: aside for a moment, what ability does Russia have to

745
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: seriously hurt us? I saw the stuff about the cyber attacks.

746
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: From my understanding, it didn't really disrupt operations at the airports,

747
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: But and they do that, Can they stop pipelines? What

748
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: can they do or what do we think they have

749
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: the ability to do to us? Yeah? Absolutely, their cyber

750
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: capabilities are very very good. We have long been expecting

751
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: more of those kinds of demonstrations and strengths in this country.

752
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: Yes to shutting down pipelines. Yes, to turning off electricity grids. Yes,

753
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: to shutting down our banking systems or degrading parts of it,

754
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: probably not nationwide but regions, you know, targeting specific banks.

755
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: So their cyber capabilities are very good. The FBI and

756
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: the NSA, for all of the problems that they have,

757
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: they have been apparently trying to harden some of our systems.

758
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, the Russians are very good at this. So

759
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: I think that we are going to see throughout if

760
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: I could sort of forecast the next couple of months,

761
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: the Russians are going to try to freeze out the Europeans,

762
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: and they're going to do that through lots of different ways,

763
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: one of which, of course, is controlling natural gas supplies.

764
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: But the second is with this cyber stuff, right, sabotage operations,

765
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of World War two like stuff, blowing up gas

766
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: tanks and gas lines. Right. They can do that here

767
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 1: in the United States too, But their main target really

768
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: is the Europeans. They want to force Europe into a

769
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: peace deal. So I think we're going to see a

770
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: lot more of these kinds of sabotage and cyber attacks

771
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: in the coming weeks and months. May you live in

772
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: interesting times. Brian Dean right, it's the President's Daily Brief Podcast.
