WEBVTT - America’s Next Frontier 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.480 Right news round up in Information Overload Hour. Here's our 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:04.160 toll free telephone number. If you want to be a 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.400 part of the program, it is eight hundred and ninety 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.760 four one Sean if you want to join us. You know, 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:16.919 in my life, during these moments when America launches rockets 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.600 into space, we all remember one small step for man, 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:25.320 one giant leap for mankind. Now you might remember the 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:30.920 case of Barry Butch Wilmore, US Navy Captain, NASA astronaut. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.240 By the way, he himself has flown three space missions, 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.280 and he spent four hundred and sixty four days in orbit. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.080 He's a Tennessee native, a test pilot, over eight thousand 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:46.040 flight hours, six hundred and sixty three Harrier landings. And 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.880 by the way, that in and of itself is a feat. 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:54.520 And he piloted the Space Shuttle Atlantis, and commanded the 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:59.200 International Space Station and recently led Boeing Starliner on its 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.240 first crewed flo A mission plan for eight days, it 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:07.000 stretched into nine months. And remember we're waiting, when are 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.479 we going to rescue this guy? Now he has now 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.240 come out with a memoir. It's called Stuck in Space, 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.560 An Astronaut's Hope through the Unexpected. The book just got 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.800 released and it's in bookstores everywhere. You can get it 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.759 on Amazon dot com and put it on Hannity dot com. 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.440 I haven't got my copy, and I'm dying to get 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.360 a copy. But you know, he has been trained his 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.040 entire life and career for these high risk missions and 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.560 crisis leadership. But then you're kind of lost in space. 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.080 And then it got so pathetic. We kept saying, Joe, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:43.160 when are you going to bring this this brave astronaut home? 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.319 When are we going to rescue this guy? Well, Elon 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:52.640 Musk came to the rescue, and he tells the entire story. Anyway, 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.040 this is this is him himself and his own words 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.720 talking about it. And here's what he said. What would 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.200 you like to say to President Trump and Elon Musker? 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.000 I respect you, I trust you. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.480 You're giving me no reason not to trust you either 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.600 one of them. What they say, I can't say what 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.079 they say. I haven't lived that. But I have no 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.000 reason not to believe anything they say because they've earned 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.120 my trust. And for that, I am grateful that our 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.960 national leaders actually are coming in and taking part in 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.040 our human space like program, which we see is hugely 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.960 important global significance, and they take an active role, and 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.520 based on the past and what we see now with 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:40.120 them doing that is it's refreshing, not just refreshing, it's empowering, 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.680 it's strengthening for our nation. I think it's a good 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.639 thing for our nation when the national leaders, especially something 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.040 that's high visibility, are involved in the process. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.799 And I'm grateful for that, all right. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.760 Butch Willmore joins us now veteran NASA astronaut and a 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.880 captain and his memoir Stuck in Space and Astronauts Hope 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.840 through the Unexpected now on bookstores around the country, Amazon 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.359 dot com. We've put it up on Hannity dot com. Sir, 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.720 God bless you, captain. We appreciate you being with us. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:12.960 Welcome aboard this show. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.760 God bless you, Sean. I still appreciate the opportunity to 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.240 share some thoughts with you and that piece that you 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.000 just just you just aired. Those comments that I made 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.399 that was a year ago, and they're no different now. 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.400 I still have the greatest respect for our leadership, for 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.320 our president, for Elon Musk and what they continue to 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.760 do going forward. And I'm grateful that to be a 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.720 part of this nation, privileged to serve this nation in 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.520 the way that the Lord has given me the opportunity 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.360 to do so. So thank you, Thank you for the opportunity. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.280 Let's talk about getting stuck in space the way that 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.320 you did, and there were many of us praying for you, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.360 many of us bewildered that the government was not moving 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.440 expeditiously to get you home. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:59.120 That frustrated me. You know, walk us through what it 0:03:59.280 --> 0:03:59.960 was like for you. 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.520 Well, I'll give you my perspective, Sean. I appreciate that 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.280 we train, we prepare, you mentioned, and you know, decades 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.040 of preparation for these high risk endeavors. And it's not 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.680 just me, it's many And that is true. I mean 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.520 I grew up professionally in the Navy, flew combat missions 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.280 off aircraft carriers as you mentioned, and all of that 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.320 preparation leading up and throughout all my career with NASA 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.800 leading up to this event where I was commander of Starliner. Again, 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.599 the mindset is a privilege to serve, and when these 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:36.000 events happened, there was no frustration, there was no fretting 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.640 on my part. I mean, you're serving your country whatever 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.760 whatever transpires. I mean, many times, so many you know, 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.119 thousands of people around this, around our nation have gotten 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.680 been extended on deployment, myself included, and this was just 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.680 that and you go with it, you flow with it, 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.560 and you do the best with your what you've been 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.800 given to take charge and carry out the planet of 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.400 the day, as we say, in the days and operation 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.479 was at the top as you would expect. There was 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.000 nothing on the space station that we Sunday Night could 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.479 not do, could not perform, including spacewalks, which we did. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.680 We were prepared to do all of that. Didn't plan 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.160 to do any of it because we were a short mission, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.040 but we were prepared to do at all and that's 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.440 just the way it played out. So again the mindset 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.640 from our standpoint is, yes, this isn't optable, this isn't 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.720 desired by many, but it's where we are and we're 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.039 going to take advantage of the training, we have, the 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:36.080 opportunity we have to continue to serve our country in 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.240 this fashion. And that is really what drove us. 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.200 Well, this was supposed to be a relatively short mission 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.560 that you were going on. How many days originally was 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:46.400 it supposed to be? 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.000 Well, you know, we've heard a has been a number 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.040 that was put out there early even before we launched, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.920 but it was two weeks ish or less. There were 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.039 several tests obviously we were doing before we got the 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.400 space station. There were some attached tests, the thermal tests 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.039 that we were going to be doing with in spacecraft 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.880 while we were doctor space station, and then many tests 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.920 went we came back before at deorbit burn and of 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.040 course entering into the atmosphere and then landing, so all 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.800 of it was a test mission. And roughly there wasn't 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.160 a defined eight days, but that was one number that 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:16.880 was put out there, but it was eight that's. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.640 A fourteen days, okay, So you go up there with 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.440 the expectations you're going to be you're going to be 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.360 gone eight to fourteen days and it it then what 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.360 were you up in space? If I recall, was two 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.040 hundred and eighty six days that you were stuck in space? 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.440 I don't know if you remember the show Lost in 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.080 Space when you were a kid, watching any of those reruns, 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.080 but it was a show caused Paul Lost in Space 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.560 and kind of that's your situation. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:42.920 At that point. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.680 Yeah, I watched it often. Will Rogers and his family 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.080 absolutely out of a big. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.159 Fan, all right. 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.520 So now, when did you first realize of we're not 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.839 going to get home on time? And what will you 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.719 know walk us through mentally, emotionally. For example, when you're training, 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.840 I assume they prepare you that there might be a 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:10.320 situation where you may not get home on the date 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.040 you think you're going to come home. So I would 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.840 expect you have I anticipate that you have some expectation 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.080 of that going in right. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.400 Well, I don't think it's active training, say hey, things 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.400 could happen, you'll be extended. We don't look at it 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.160 that way, but I'll tell you from my perspectives. I've 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.920 been asked several times, how did you feel when you 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.760 found out you were going to be extended? Well, Sean, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.880 I mean when we started losing thrusters out in front 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.800 of the space station and we wound up losing the 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.000 ability to fully control the spacecraft. We lost six degree 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.000 of freedom control and I'm on the controls, I'm manual control. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.480 At this point, I had three thoughts. My first thought 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:53.080 was we have to dock. Our options are minimal. That's 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.400 my second thought. We don't have many options if we 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.640 don't dock. I mean, I'm controlling spacecraft. It is very challenging. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.600 Compared to the day prior. To the day prior, it 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:06.000 was absolutely pristine. It was perfection. I mean I could 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.720 have pointed at a gnat and kept it on there. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.360 I mean, that's how precise it was. That is not 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.200 the case when I was flying it, obviously, when we 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.000 were losing these thrusters, and so my thought, we have 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.040 to dock. If we don't dock, I'm not sure I 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.280 can control this spacecraft sufficiently to do a deorbit burn 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.360 and make it back to Earth because of how the 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.880 control was. And again, at the moment you got to 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.920 realize we did not know why we were losing the thrusters. 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.960 We did not know if we could get them back. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.319 So this is real time thoughts. And my third thought 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:45.640 was if we do get successfully docked, I don't see 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.960 us coming back on this spacecraft. I mean this is 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.120 even before we dock. The realization of how serious the 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.000 situation was, and to be able to bound the problem, 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.600 understand it completely, and get back inside the spacecraft at 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.719 some point and come back in it. I knew those 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.880 chances were slim because you can't go out on a 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.959 spacewalk and inspect the thrusters. They're not built that way. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.240 You can't do that, and I know that, and we're 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.360 dropping these thrusters, so to determine why they're failing, it'll 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.240 be an assessment of data at real time. And there's 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:22.920 going to be have to be some type of tests 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.760 with some thrusters somewhere. We can't test them on the 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.880 spacecraft that we're on, you know, on Earth. So anyway, 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.120 the three things I thought, we have to dock. If 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.720 we don't dock, our options are are pretty slim. And 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.880 the third thing, of course, if we do DOC, I 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.800 don't see this coming back on this spacecraft. So I 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:40.439 knew it early. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.199 Okay, the first thought that I had. And I guess 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.120 maybe this goes to my mindset, and Linda makes fun 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.200 of me because whenever I'm on the road, the only 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:53.320 thing I really care about is what Linda whenever we're traveling, 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.040 get the most. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.400 Food and the most unhealthy food. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.120 Yeah, because it's the only time I cheat on my 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.080 diet is when I'm on the road. And so I'm like, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.360 if I'm going to the West Coast, it's in an 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.640 out burger. If I'm going to Salt Lake City, it's 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.280 Crown Burger. If I'm going to Chicago, it's hot dogs. 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:14.360 Wherever I'm going, it's something. But I started thinking about, Okay, 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.640 now you know you're not going to be able to 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.040 come back the way you thought you were going to 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.640 come back. You know, you now your stay is going 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.400 to be extended. You know the only way you're going 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.800 to get back is if they come and rescue you. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:29.400 My thought. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.440 I remember thinking at the time, I hope to God 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.960 they have enough food there, and obviously they did. And 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.960 then I think you got a delivery. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.719 That we did. And I can tell you also after. 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.720 We got it, was it like Uber eats or install 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.160 I'm kidding, but I mean. 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.520 No, it's a little better than that. Actually. But after 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.880 we got doctor, we did all our hugs and welcome 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.880 a board and our comments and all. The first thing 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.839 I did was I we had the correct KU band 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.640 coverage with the sat light coverage. And I called the 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.120 flight director, Vincent Lecourt, and I said, Vincent, you know, 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.439 we trained for emergency departure of the station for any 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:13.120 number of bridge and depressurization, fire, ammonia. There's many many 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.080 reasons why you would have to leave us lead the station. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.600 We've never had to, but we trained for that. I 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.160 said that, in that scenario and that contingency, what is 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.800 our plan? I mean, we have a six spacecraft. What 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.000 do we do? I mean, the soils is too small, 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.600 we can't fit in it. The Dragon is large enough, 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.920 but we have no seats and our spacecraft is sick. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.480 And he said, well, and what I already knew that 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.560 right now is your only option. And for the first 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.920 two months that was our that was our option until 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:45.400 we actually we built seats into the deck of the 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.920 Dragon spacecraft for us to you know, out of styrofoam 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.360 or our pham and other areas. The ground team did 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.000 great jobs, got a great job sending up the information. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.679 And Mike Barrett, one of the guys on board, our 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.320 medical doctor that was on board, he'd put a lot 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.520 of effort into it. And anyway, we built seats. So 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.679 for two months we had our emergency turn spacecraft was 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.720 Starliner because that's really our only option. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.679 Wow, and you had enough food and then how did 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.360 you get the delivery of more food? 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.760 Well, that's kind of standard, this cargo spacecraft that come 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.079 and go and they're always changing what the load out. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.440 Almost cargo spacecraft are there's the sickness that comes up. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.280 There's the Russian progress as also the space extion Dragon 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.960 has a cargo version, so they changed those out all 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.240 the time, so they they loaded a little bit more food, 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.600 a little bit more of the stuff and other accoutomers. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:36.360 Thinks that we needed. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.840 All right, quick break, Welcome back, more with veteran NASA 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:41.800 astronaut Captain Barry. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.280 Butch Wilmore is with us.

So we actually did get well. 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.760 Elon Musk played a big role in that, and h 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.640 I'm sure that made you happy.

And the 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.320 and the launch rate that they have even now with 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.640 the various other missions they're doing, it's just it's mind blowing. 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.840 Something that I don't think anyone ever deemed would have 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:36.080 been possible just just simply a few decades ago.

One, eight hundred nine to four to one Sean. 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.240 Let's go to Dalton, calling from daytona Beach, Dalton. How 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:08.640 you doing. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:10.280 I'm doing well. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:10.920 How are you doing? 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:15.600 I'm good? Well, jump in anytime you want. 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.879 Yeah, I'm calling in From a few hours ago. You 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:21.639 had a gentleman on that was writing a book and 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:25.439 you have a few sections about being pro with the 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.840 Iran war, saying everything we're doing there is right thing. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:28.640 We're winning the war. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.800 I just wanted to ask, how can you say. 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.840 We're doing the right thing, We're doing good, we're winning. 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:35.600 When day one we bombed. 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.320 School, we killed one hundred and sixty eight children, and 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.240 our ally on top of that Israel our number one ally. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.560 That's what everyone says. They have a track record of 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:45.879 killing kids. They have a track record. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:51.280 They don't have that. Listen, we've hit fifteen thousand targets, 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.760 fifteen thousand. Once in a while in war, you'll accidentally 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.080 get some civilian casualties. This has got to be an 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.639 all time record for fewest civilillion casualties ever. And that 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.320 one hitting a school, we don't even know that for sure. 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.080 That's reported by Iran. We don't even know if that's true. 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.879 And if it is, the school was put next to 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.280 a military installation, that's why that would have happened, But 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.439 we have no confirmation that ever actually happened. And there 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.000 are fifteen thousand bombing attacks. If there had been any 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.320 civilians hit, you would have been hearing about it instantly. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.920 So that's a pretty good track record, isn't it. 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.720 No, how can you say it's okay at all? 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:28.760 For children's. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.000 Listen? I can tell you don't want to change. You 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.400 don't want to hear anything, you don't want to know anything. 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.120 You Now, why is it you're so against this war? 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.440 Forget the children? Why are you so against this war? 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:43.840 Okay, forget the children? 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:44.080 Right? 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.600 Yeah, we're saying our number one ally in this it 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:47.080 is real. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.080 Right. Yeah, I know you hate Israel. You had a 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.400 little anti Semitism running through the veins there, But forget that. 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.600 I think you are. But forget that. Let's get to 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.840 why would if you had the worst, most evil terrorist 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.200 organization on earth? Why wouldn't you want to wipe them out? 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:04.480 How are you calling I ran the worst set. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:05.679 I'm not saying I ran right. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:06.480 Don't get me wrong. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:07.800 I'm not saying they're. 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.840 On the right and that they have been doing everything right. 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:11.880 They don't deserve this at all. 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.280 I am saying the reason we are there with our 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.240 current ally is wrong. 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.320 Yeah, but again, why wouldn't you want to take out 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:24.680 the most awful terrorists sponsoring evil government on earth? 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.240 Because we're doing the same thing. We have a track 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.639 record of right with anything that's come out of the 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.879 CIA or anything that's come out in the Middle East, 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.840 it has a track record of CIA was there, CIA 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.439 was giving money. Let's look at things like the Contra affair. 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.280 But just explain, you can't argue with these guys. You 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.119 got to play along with it.
