And uh, I thought it was the President 36 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: really showing a lot of people just how serious he 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: is about out that job. And it really also puts 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: in a perspective and shines a light on the whole 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: idea that that this president doesn't take it seriously. Um, 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: you know, it's and and it's a seriousness too, that's 41 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: rooted in the love of country that any look, I 42 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: just think that that is the hardest job in the world. 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: The same goes when Barack Obama's president. It's he never 44 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: showed any propensity at all to grow, which was one 45 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: of my biggest criticisms of him. And I I warned 46 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: about his rigid idea ideological background and his indoctrination by 47 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: by Frank Marshall Davis and and all of these other 48 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: people in his life, and being an Acorn activist and 49 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: a Lynsky disciple and the Church of g D America 50 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: and Airs and Dorn and you know, I would have 51 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: thought that he would have had some capacity for growth 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: and some capacity to sort of break out of his 53 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: indoctrination and what he thought was always right. And he 54 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: just didn't have it. And I say this in the 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: lead up to saying that for all the people that 56 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: and I'm sure the level so well, he said he 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna do this, and that's gonna be the biggest criticism. 58 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: And it's neither here nor there. And whether you agree 59 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: or you disagree, this is a a doctrine, a military 60 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: doctrine that the president laid out from my sources, uh 61 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: on deep background within the White House that we're at 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: the Camp David meeting, and they were very very clear 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: on this. Actually, a lot of what you heard last 64 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: night was Trump being Trump and not what was actually 65 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: being recommended in total, and him being very cautious and 66 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: very careful, and him deeply deliberating the idea of of 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: any further commitment and what the need for the commitment 68 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: was and what it's actually gonna be. And so you watch, 69 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, there's a certain seriousness. If if you have 70 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: any love of the sacrifice of our military, you know 71 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: just how difficult that is, because now are making life 72 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: and death decisions for other people, and you're making decisions about, Okay, 73 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: what's in the best interests of the United States, what's 74 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: in the best security interests of the American people. There's 75 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: a lot on the line here. It is a huge responsibility, 76 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: and in many ways, I think what you see is, 77 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if people get upset that the president tweets, 78 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: and the president fights back, and the president calls out 79 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: fake news, and and the President doesn't conform to exactly 80 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: how people want him to say things, whatever it happens 81 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: to be well, you saw the president now showing the 82 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: seriousness by which he's taking the job. And in that sense, 83 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: it's it's absolutely Trump's better self. It's a side of 84 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: him that I know exists and that we see, but 85 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: we don't see all the time. And people wish that 86 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: they could get Trump to be the way they want 87 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: all the time. And I just think that he's a 88 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: man that is going to be himself. He'll take all 89 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: the advice that you can give him, and then he's 90 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna make up his own mind. And that work for 91 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: him during the campaign, and I don't think he's going 92 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: to abandon that now because it's work for him his 93 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: entire life. But he talked at length about why he 94 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: was there and the setting that he was in it, Arlington, 95 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: and and what he called hallowed ground. And you know, 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: he began his address last night with addressing, well, the 97 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: militaries united and that's how they win, and how this 98 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: country must unite, and the history that we have as 99 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: a country, that we have faced many instances of evil 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: and we have prevailed, and how the president and this 101 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: is where I would say he now has changed dramatically 102 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: and as a different person in that office than Barack 103 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: Obama was and that and well, actually in a lot 104 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: of ways, but in this way in particular, is that 105 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: he went on to just talk about how, you know, 106 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: his he very rarely goes against his instincts because his 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: instinct serve him so well. But after a lot of 108 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: studying and a lot of knowledge that you're only gonna 109 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: get when you're in that office, that he made a 110 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: different decision than he thought he would. And he also 111 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: talked about what are what our purpose is going to 112 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: be in terms of, you know this this ongoing conflict 113 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: with Afghanistan, and how things are going to be different, 114 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: And in many ways, I think he outlined how he's 115 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: gonna adopt a new strategy that is very very different 116 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: from his predecessors, and how if we're going to defeat 117 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: this evil in our time, we're not going to be 118 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: involved in nation building. We're not going to construct democracy 119 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: to try to change Afghanistan into a satellite of America, 120 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: because we've tried that that hasn't worked, and we're shedding 121 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: too much blood in the sacrifice is too high for 122 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,559 Speaker 1: the American people, and the odds are it's never gonna 123 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: work any way. And that's just a fact based on 124 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: recent historic events, but you can go back deeper in 125 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: history and you can see that never happened. And Afghanistan 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: has always been uh quicksand for a lot of countries. 127 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: And what he went on to say is the American 128 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: people's patients is not going to be unlimited here, nor 129 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: is our budget going to be unlimited, and he put 130 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: tremendous pressure on the region to step it up. Now. 131 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: The Afghani ambassador to America, actually, I was on TV 132 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: last night just called in during the show and I 133 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: started saying, you prepared to do your part? Are you 134 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: prepared to get Afghanistan to do their part? Are you 135 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: prepared to have your fellow countrymen fighting what it is 136 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: you say you want, Because the American People's patients is 137 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: running really really thin here, so they better step up. 138 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: And if they don't step up, we're not gonna stay. 139 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: Are there either going to share the burden or our 140 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: patients is gonna be not you know, unlimited here and 141 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: there's gonna be no blank check. And the stronger the 142 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: Afghans get, the less we need to do and want 143 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: to do. We don't want to be there. So the 144 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: pressure is enormous on all of them. He stayed with 145 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 1: his campaign promise of never telegraphing America's plans ahead of time. 146 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: He further went on to say, there's not going to 147 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: be anywhere to hide here. In other words, he said, okay, finally, 148 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, in other words, we're actually gonna try and 149 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: win this, and we're gonna bomb the living daylights out 150 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: of him. And he talked about the need to do 151 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: this again because that's their home base of plotting and 152 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: scheming and planning the attacks on us and the attacks 153 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: like we see all throughout Europe and last week that 154 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: we saw in Barcelona. And so I had a lot 155 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: of friends of mine in the military or were in 156 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: the military and out of the military, and they're all 157 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: writing me last night. Finally, because he also talked about 158 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: the rules of engagement and getting rid of the rules 159 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: of engagement and um, there was the freedom that they've 160 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: always wanted. You're I'm gonna get into this later in 161 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: the program with Austin gouldsby I mean, nobody likes if 162 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: your pro life. You don't want to see innocent people 163 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: die ever, but you can't have troops that you send 164 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: them to fight, bleed and die in these wars, and 165 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: then while you're sending them over there, you're putting handcuffs 166 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: on them, and you're saying to them either way, you 167 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: must have the gun pointed at you at this particular 168 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: angle before you could ever defend yourself. And you better 169 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: be able to prove your innocence, because we'll assume you're guilty. 170 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: And that has happened now to our military and Obama's 171 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: rules of engagement, and he talked at length about well, 172 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: now it's time for the generals to decide, the people 173 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: on the ground to decide and let them do their job, 174 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: because you're not gonna have any bureaucrat in Washington that 175 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: knows as they do what needs to be done. And 176 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: that is just a simple, fundamental, basic truth. You hire 177 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: the best people. We've got them. There are US Marines, 178 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: and that our Air Force, and our Army, and our 179 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: Navy and and our coast Guard. We hire the best people. 180 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: You train the best people, and then you can't second 181 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: guess the best people. If you hand them a firearm 182 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: that you know that there ready, that they know how 183 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: to use it in the circumstances. And Clinton Rance is 184 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: a great case in point where he's a new platoon leader, 185 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: and and men in that platoon died the previous week 186 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: or two by guys on motorcycles with explosive devices. And 187 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: he's got to make a split second decision. He's newing 188 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: the job, he knows the history, knows that they lost 189 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: platoon members, and here come to motorcycles right towards this 190 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: platoon and they're not listening to people saying to stop, stop, stop, 191 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: They just keep rolling the head And now he's got 192 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: a split second decision to make, Oh, are they good 193 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: people or do they have bombs on their motorcycles with 194 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: them and they're here to kill us, And he may 195 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: the decision that in that case the risk was too 196 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: high and he had to take these guys out. It's 197 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: easy to second guess and when we're not there, but 198 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: I don't second guess people in combat. That's their decision. 199 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: We trained them, we hire the best, and we hope 200 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: for the best. But we can't ask them to be 201 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: defenseless either. And with the rules of engagement, literally have 202 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: handcuffed these guys to the point where in the back 203 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: of their minds they're worried if they pull the trigger 204 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: and they have to defend themselves if they're gonna end 205 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: up going to jail. Clinton Laurance was sent sentenced to 206 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: twenty years in prison, and we've had his family and 207 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: his lawyer on this program. And that's a real life 208 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: instance of why all my military friends are so adamant 209 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: that these rules of engagement needed to go away and 210 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: that that's now going to happen. So I think that it's, uh, 211 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: it's it's the right policy. He's not telegraphing how many troops, 212 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: he's not telegraphing what our plans are. But I assume 213 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: they they consist of covert operations and the afghanis doing 214 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: most of the fighting as they should, And I'm assuming 215 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: that we're going to offer the mayor support and covert 216 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: operations support and intelligence support, and then they're gonna have 217 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: to go in and do their job and invent any 218 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: point they they find we find that they're incapable of 219 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: actually getting the job done, or we don't see the 220 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: the commitment to getting the job done, then we're just 221 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to move on and say, Okay, we tried, 222 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: and whatever damage we can do in terms of breaking 223 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: up these terror organizations, we're gonna have to end up doing. 224 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see innocent people die. But I mean 225 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: the idea that if if if our military thinks it's 226 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: a threat, and they respond as if it's a threat 227 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: they believe is real. I mean, you can assess it afterwards, 228 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: but you don't put these people in jail. Well, does 229 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: anybody doubt what happened in to end World War two? 230 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: Hiroshima Nagasaki was the wrong decision. I don't even like 231 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: the term collateral damage because it sounds just frankly insensitive. 232 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: But a lot of innocent a lot of innocent men, 233 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: women and children died, But it ended a war, and 234 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: it saved American lives, and we were attacked and we've 235 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: been attacked by radical Islamis and nine eleven was planned 236 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: from that country. So if you're gonna do it, and 237 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: you're not gonna try and change the country, and you're 238 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: not gonna nation build, and there's not an infinite amount 239 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: of resources, and there's no blank check, and they've got 240 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: a carried their share of the burden financially and otherwise, 241 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: and then it's got a much better chance of working 242 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: and it shows we're learning from the past. In my opinion. Anyway, 243 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: we'll get to all of this today. We have a 244 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: lot of all the presidents of Phoenix tonight, and it 245 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: looks like a lot of troublemakers are preparing for tonight. 246 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: We'll explain what's what's being planned and reported on when 247 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: we get back.

They're reporting in the Daily 280 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: Caller that leading anti Trump activists backed by major Democratic donors, 281 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: including Sorrows or mobilizing large numbers of protesters ahead of 282 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: the President's rally and Phoenix. But the intention of stealing 283 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: the spotlight from the president's event. By the way, I'm 284 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: sure that's all the other media will cover. Local leaders 285 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: of Indivisible, which is one of the quote resistance protest 286 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: groups formed as a direct response to the fact that 287 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump won and they couldn't believe it or get 288 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: over it, and now organizing thousands of protesters associated with 289 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: a coalition of left wing groups ahead of the event, 290 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: The Daily Caller goes on, in addition to organizing mass 291 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: protests outside the rally, Indivisible is encouraging protesters to register 292 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: for tickets for the rally itself, increasing in a likelihood 293 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: that protesters are going to disrupt disrupt President Trump speech 294 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,479 Speaker 1: as often happened at the campaign rallies. Anyway, their website 295 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: states that the group is a project of the Advocacy Fund, 296 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: and that is a left wing advocacy group that gets 297 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: money from the Open Society Policy Center, which is an 298 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: arm of Soros Open Society Foundation. Now, I have a long, long, 299 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: long bit of research that I'm building here. TikTok, TikTok. Anyway, 300 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: left wing activists have organized four events against Trump for today, 301 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: culminating in one massive protest at the rally. The protest 302 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: will be led by every organization an individual that doesn't 303 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: support the president, and I'm sure many are coming in 304 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: from outside. The Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton criticized Trump for 305 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: holding the rally.

Really. You always worry about a 317 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: suitcase type of nuke or some type of radioactive whatever, 318 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: a small nuclear weapon, a suitcase bomb, something like that. 319 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: But I've always worried that you're gonna see and God 320 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: forbidness is ever true. We're gonna wake up one day 321 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: and simultaneously radical Islamis or somebody gonna get ahold of 322 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: shoulder to air missiles and they're gonna they're gonna take 323 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: out a plane low flying coming into l a X, LaGuardia, 324 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: Kennedy Heartsfield in Atlanta, UM, Dallas, Chicago, O'Hare l a X. 325 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: You know all these airports, and they're gonna do it once. 326 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: And it's because the technology, while advanced, it just isn't 327 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: that advanced anymore. I mean, you go back to the 328 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Boujahadeen and their battle against the former Soviet Union and Russia, 329 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, some of those shoulder to 330 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: air missiles just was crushing the the the air force 331 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: of the former Soviet Union just crushing them. Anyway, it 332 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: looks like isis Sadly, Reuter's is reporting may have the 333 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: capacity to shoot down a civilian airliner goes on to 334 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: say Lebanon's army found anti aircraft missiles among the cash 335 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: of weapons in an area abandoned by the Islamic State militants. 336 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: The arms cash also included mortars, medium heavy machine guns, 337 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: assault rifles, grenades, anti tank weapons, anti personnel minds, improvised 338 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: explosive devices and a lot of ammunition. And on Friday, 339 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: the Lebanese Army said it discovered the service to air 340 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: missiles and this weapons cash left by al Nucera and 341 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: their militants in the area. That we're captured by his 342 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: ballah and then taken over by the army. That is 343 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: a really, really chilling scenario. I don't you've ever spent 344 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: any time I'm just fascinated by air flight, and you 345 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: know I've spent time I have to wait for flights 346 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: at airports, and I love looking at and examining flight patterns. 347 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: I mean, what most people really don't know is there's 348 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: actually like roads up in the sky. Obviously they're not marked, 349 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: but there's certain corridors where jets fly the same corridor. 350 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: You know, if there is extreme turbulence at a particular point, 351 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: the pilot will we'll pilot down to those people that 352 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: are following them and warn them about what's coming up, 353 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: and then they can warn the passengers. I mean, it's 354 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: pretty sophisticated. And you've got private jets and then you've 355 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: got commercial airliners, and you've got so much going up 356 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: on in the sky. It's it's actually crazy. I mean, 357 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: one thing, it's a tribute that it's safer to fly 358 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: on an airplane than it actually is to drive a car. Today. 359 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: It's nuts. I mean, we've we've so advanced the technology 360 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: and it's a tribute to the airline industry. And I 361 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: know when we have a crash, it's huge news and 362 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: it should be, but you know, we have these crashes 363 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: every day and automobiles. It's it just is a fact 364 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: that it's it's safer to fly in a plane. And 365 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: most people have no idea the number of airplanes that 366 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: are up in the sky at any given moment, and 367 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: so it's a it's certainly a real risk and probably 368 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: probably does say that. Um, everything that the President was 369 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: saying last night is true. You know, I didn't notice 370 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: that John McCain, so nice of them praising the president's 371 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: speech last night. I commend the president really so nice 372 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: to you, Senator McCain taking a big step in the 373 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: right direction with a new strategy in Afghanistan. You know, 374 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: I just you know what bothers me about all politicians 375 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: and a lot of people, even in my business, the media, 376 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: all of them are almost always that their decision making 377 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: process is filtered through sort of a sophisticated bizarre wiring 378 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: that is so narcissistic. Every decision they make is how's 379 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: this gonna make me. Look, how does this impact me? 380 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: And really, decisions should be made on the basis of 381 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: what's right and what's wrong, not simple, or it should 382 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: be made on how does this affect others. I'm not 383 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: saying we all make the right decisions all the time. 384 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: We don't. We're flawed human beings. But I'm just saying, 385 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: and that's what should be going through your head. Lindsey 386 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: Graham saying Trump speech shows the gloves are off in Afghanistan. 387 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: He was effusive in his praise. I see that North 388 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: Korea was caught aiding serious chemical weapons program. That's not 389 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: good news either. And China is now calling the fifteen 390 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: zero vote a mistake in terms of sanctions that have 391 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: been placed on North Korea. That's not good either. On 392 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: some of the other news, I saw that Mitch McConnell, 393 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: this is this is a Kentucky survey. Kentucky voters percent 394 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: of respondence that's it approved of McConnell's current performance disapproved. 395 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: Now he is the longest serving U. S. Senator in 396 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: Kentucky history, represented the States and couldn't even get healthcare 397 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: done and was so quick to give up on it. 398 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna talk later in the Program to Freedom 399 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: CALLEDUS member Jim Jordan's and I'm standing by that. September, October, November, 400 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: early December. It's it's this is it. You're either going 401 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: to succeed or fail on these months, and success will 402 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: be defined as you know, taking seven rates, turning him 403 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: into three, getting rid of some of these ridiculous taxes, 404 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: double taxation, the death tax, and then of course tax 405 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: cuts for the middle class. Then of course you want 406 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: corporate cuts, dramatic corporate cuts, and you want the repatriation 407 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: of multinationals, because that's trillions of dollars parked overseas. And 408 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: when these when these four when these multinational corporations can 409 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: bring them to the US and spend that money in, 410 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: corporations have more money to spend, and it's more profitable 411 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: for them. When you include with that ending Obama era 412 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: regulations and a more business friendly environment that Trump has 413 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: already created, well, that means that they'll invest the millions 414 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: and billions and manufacturing centers and and factories here in 415 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: America and put those people in poverty on food stamps 416 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: and out of work back to work, and that then 417 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: gives them a ladder decline for the American dream, that's 418 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: good for the forgotten men and women that the election 419 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: was supposed to be amount. And of course the media, 420 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, they'll just race from one controversy to the 421 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: next and continue the narrative that tunnel Trump cannot be 422 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: president because they never accepted the fact that they lost 423 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: after colluding with Hillary, After being proven to have colluded 424 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: with Hillary viasa the wiki leaks, Well, the collusion is 425 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: not stopped. They are the willing spokespeople basically for all 426 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: things liberal and all things ideologically left and all things 427 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: Democrat that is your media today. At some point, the 428 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: exposure of them is going to be so great. I am. 429 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: I am firmly fully convinced that the day and age 430 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: of media being trusted now is over. And they just 431 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: don't know it yet, and they think it probably can't 432 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: get worse than it is now. But I think most 433 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: people see them as the fake news outlets that they are. Um. 434 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: You know, something interesting happened in Charlottesville. Some of the 435 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: fallout that went on. Residents are still really angry over 436 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: the fact that the mayor didn't order the police to intervene. 437 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: Not last Saturday, the Saturday before and the violence that 438 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: escalated between these white supremacist jerks and some of the 439 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: groups that were there protesting, not the peaceful protesters, but 440 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: the people like ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, etcetera. It 441 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: got so angry at a town hall meeting last night, 442 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: the protesters stormed the meeting in Charlottesville, forcing the mayor 443 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: and several other city officials to have to leave under 444 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: police protection. The meeting was not supposed to be about 445 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: what happened on August the twelve, but the residents and 446 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: the protesters they stormed the meeting and the force the 447 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: mayor to formally cancel the gathering before fleeing. The police 448 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: said that they attempted to regain control by removing three individuals. 449 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: The the vice president, and the three council members fled 450 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: the meeting while a group carrying a sign that read 451 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: blood on your Hands stood at their desks. Crowd lined 452 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: up to scream into the microphone at the mayor and 453 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: the city council as they presided over the police action. 454 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: Now I read yesterday that Terry mccauloff is temporarily suspending 455 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: freedom of speech rights, saying it's not an end to 456 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: the freedom of speech. Oh it either you know, you 457 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: can't be a little bit it either it is or 458 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: it isn't. You just either you are you're not anyway, Mike, 459 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: we need you to leave. One protester said to the mayor, 460 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: you just showed us how weak you are and just 461 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: showed us you're not a leader. It's like the governor, 462 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: Terry mccauloff, you know, comes out with a big lie 463 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: that the police contradicted about weapons being distributed all around 464 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: the city, that we're gonna be picked up by by 465 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: these white supremacists, and the police contradicted it and said 466 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: they found no weapons, and mccauloff was telling everybody they 467 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: were outmanned and outgunned. They couldn't go in. Well, if 468 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: it's that bad, you gotta send the National Guard it. 469 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: Why think they do that? Back to Phoenix tonight. Both 470 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Police Department and the FBI now are on 471 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: high alert for the President's rally tonight, and the Phoenix 472 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: Police Department is planned for maximum staffing during the President's visit. 473 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: The FBI Department of Homeland Security coordinating the event. What 474 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: political leaders law enforcement officials also on high alert for this. 475 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: The big question is whether there will be more supporters 476 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: of Trump inside the convention center that holds twenty nine 477 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: thousand or more protesters outside, and how many protesters will 478 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: actually end up getting inside and trying disrupt the president's 479 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: speech anyway. The Phoenix Police chief said in a statement 480 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: that are forced will have maximum staffing during the visit. 481 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: The department's working seven.

So there is 490 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: a way to handle these things, and we'll see what happens. 491 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: The speech is supposed to start at ten o'clock, as 492 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm going on the air tonight on Hannity, and we'll 493 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: have all of the the unfolding and the speech tonight 494 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: at ten.

A 500 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: lot of information about this stuff Antifa. By the way, 501 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: the Phoenix News Times has reported today, not only is 502 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: Antifa pledging and cult quote what they're calling coverage of 503 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: the Trump rally and Phoenix they're planning to do so, 504 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: they say, in the spirit of hostility, you know, I 505 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: mean if you're if you're pledging to be hostile against 506 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: other people, how can you interpret that any other way 507 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: than to mean you're threatening other people anyway.

Anyway, 533 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: they have a towering statue of Christopher Columbus is slated 534 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: for a review by a Comrade de Blasio Mayoral task 535 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: Force as a potential symbol of white supremacy that must 536 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: be torn down. Seventies six foot structure honoring the explorer 537 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus at Columbus Circle should be among the statutes 538 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: reviewed by the city for potential purging, said the city 539 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: council speaker Melissa Mark, whatever her name is. I would 540 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: definitely encourage them to take a look at this one 541 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: as well, when asked about the towering statue of Columbus, 542 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: a gift from Italian Americans to the city in eighteen two. Wow. 543 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: And then it's even gone to London. Now they're dealing 544 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: with this controversy. By the way, Bikers for Trump are 545 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: now vowing to protect Trump supporters who want to attend 546 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: the rally tonight in case these protesters who pledged to 547 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: be there, you know, cause trouble. Anyway they're gonna be. 548 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: I have no doubt whatever. I actually met some of 549 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: these guys. They're not white, at least the group that 550 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: I met. I don't know if there's other groups. I 551 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: interviewed some one time. They just salt of the Earth people, 552 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: most of them veterans, as salt of the earth. Those 553 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: are the people I met. I can't wait to see 554 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: how the media describes the veterans that are going to 555 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: be there because they think that that Trump supporters need protection. 556 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: Just watch and now I'll try and find some and 557 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: interview some of them and ask them, and they'll they'll denounce. 558 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: You know, racism, white supremacy is evil that it is. 559 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: Watch the media, they're so corrupt. The soldier understands what 560 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: we as a nation too often forget that a wound 561 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: inflicted upon a single member of our community is a 562 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: wound inflicted upon us all. When one part of America hurts, 563 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: we all heard. And when one citizen suffers an injustice, 564 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: we all suffer together. Loyalty to our nation demands loyalty 565 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: to one another. Love for America requires love for all 566 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,239 Speaker 1: of its people. When we open our hearts to patriotism, 567 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: there is no room for prejudice, no place for bigotry, 568 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: and no tolerance for hate. The young men and women 569 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: we send to fight our wars abroad deserve to return 570 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: to a country that is not at war with itself 571 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: at home. We cannot remain a force for peace in 572 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: the world that we are not at peace with each other. 573 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: As we send our bravest to defeat our enemies overseas, 574 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: and we will always win. Let us find the courage 575 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: to heal our divisions within. Let us make a simple 576 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: promise to the men and women we asked to fight 577 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: in our name, that when they return home from battle, 578 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: they will find a country that has renewed the sacred 579 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: bonds of love and loyalty that unite us together as one. 580 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: As I outlined in my speech in Saudi Arabia three 581 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: months ago, America and our partners are committed to stripping 582 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: terrorists of their territory, cutting off their funding, and exposing 583 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: the false allure of their evil ideology. Terrorists who slower 584 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: innocent people will find no glory in this life or 585 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: the next. They are nothing but thugs and criminals and predators. 586 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: And that's right, losers, right that. Of course, the President 587 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: last night in his address at Arlington, and I think 588 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: a very very powerful message on his part in so 589 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: many different ways, you know, not the least of which 590 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: is this president seems to understand, you know, go through 591 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: a lot of what he's saying here and what he 592 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: what he's meaning here. Because we've spent an awful lot 593 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: of time in Afghanistan and Iraq, and one of my 594 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: biggest biggest complaints is Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan. We're 595 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: asking men and women to fight, bleed and die for 596 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: their country, and they fight and they go and they win, 597 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: and then the war becomes politicized and through the prism 598 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: of that politics and horrible decisions are made. Later, he 599 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: talked about winning last night, not nation building last night, 600 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: obliterating the enemy last night, empowering the generals and the 601 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: and the troops on the ground and getting rid of, 602 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, all of these restrictions that had been placed 603 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: upon them by rules of engagement by Obama. He really 604 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: went hard. I had the the the Afghan ambassador of 605 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: the US call and I'm like, you ready to do 606 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: your job, your part. You're gonna get Pakistan to do 607 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: their part. You know, he's saying, there's no way to hide. 608 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: We will blow them away, but you've got to contribute. 609 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: This is you know, we don't have a blank check here, 610 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: and the patience of the American people's run thin. He 611 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: also talked about securing our borders at home and stronger 612 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: Afghans get the US we need to do and we're not. 613 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: You know, this is not nation building or constructing democracies. 614 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: You know, principled realism. He called it not a blank check. 615 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: They got to share the burden. Number One, shows the 616 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 1: president can adapt and learn. I thought his his pitch, 617 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: his tone as cadence, his presence was was perfect for 618 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: the environment. Showed he could be as presidential as yes, 619 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: you want him to be. Those that complain he's not 620 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: a president doesn't tweet. A certain seriousness he talked about 621 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: that comes with his love of the military and what 622 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: that office, the burden of the office that comes on 623 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 1: anybody that sits in that chair and has that office. Now, 624 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: we faced evil, we've always prevailed in this country. Talked 625 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: about Arlington and hollowed ground and those that fought and die, 626 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: those that lay there. They're volunteered because they love their country. 627 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: For for the country that they love. We've got to 628 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: honor their sacrifice. You know. It's uh, it's pretty amazing 629 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: the things that he was saying. And you know, he 630 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: also addressed the need to be united country and he 631 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: went against his own instincts. I mean, it's a pretty 632 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: amazing night last night in terms of doing what is 633 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: what is needed and necessary also to protect all of 634 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 1: us here at home. In my opinion, Buck Sexton, host 635 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: of Buck Sexton with America now former CIA agent NYPD 636 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: Intelligence Division Specialist, served in Afghanistan and with the CIA 637 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: or closely with senior US military personnel on Afghanistan policy. 638 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: Captain Roger Hill is the author of Dog Company, a 639 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 1: true story of American soldiers abandoned by their high command. 640 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: You know, is exactly what I'm talking about with rules 641 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: of engagement. Uh, Buck will start with you. Um. I 642 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: thought it was very powerful persuasive case, and I do 643 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: think the President had all the right notes addressing all 644 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: the mistakes that we have been making in this country 645 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: in previous conflicts. You know, Sean, I'm up two minds 646 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: after last night. I mean, on the one hand, I 647 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: think that President and Trump gave a phenomenal speech and 648 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: did frame the issue of Afghanistan in a way strategically 649 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: that will be that will be helpful, and I think 650 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,959 Speaker 1: is much more clear minded than certainly what we've seen 651 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,240 Speaker 1: in the past administration, thinking of it as a South 652 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: Asia problem, as an issue of not just Afghanistan, but 653 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: a pack Afghanistan Pakistan, as we call it and coming 654 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: at it from a really multi pronged and multinational approach. 655 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: On the other side of it, though, this is a 656 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: problem that unfortunately was allowed to rapidly deteriorate, particularly in 657 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: the latter part of the Obama administration. Uh, the Taliban 658 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: is in and we should be very clear about this 659 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: because if we're going to assess how President Trump's strategy 660 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: is working or whether it's working, we should know that 661 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: the Taliban is currently in the best position it has 662 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: been in since two thousand and one, that by the 663 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: end of the Obama administration, they had taken more territory 664 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: than they had ever held since being coupled after the 665 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: initial invasion. And the Taliban is absolutely hammering Afghan National 666 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: Afghan Security Forces, Afghan National Police, all the different security 667 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: units they have I and they had about fifteen thousand 668 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: casualties in So I think the Trump approach is gonna 669 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 1: bear fruit for a variety of reasons. And I think 670 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: that the speech last night was an essential starting point 671 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: for it. But it is going to be a steep 672 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: uphill climb. This is not an easy go. I also 673 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: like that he didn't telegraph where we're going, which I 674 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: think has been a mistake. One of the biggest mistakes 675 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: Obama made was giving them an exit date, which allows 676 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: the enemy to prepare and wait out until US troops leave. 677 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: Captain Roger Hill, I think you know full well what 678 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 1: the rules of engagement did to our troops there, and 679 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: the fact that we weren't in that to win that battle, 680 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: and that we weren't prepared to use the overwhelming force 681 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 1: necessary to win, and then of course politics came into play. Yeah, 682 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm one of the biggest things that I'm I guess 683 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 1: happiest about or content about the specio was given Lass 684 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: is that the President more or less renounced UM, this 685 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: counterinsurgency strategy that we've pursued for the last ten plus years, 686 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: and as I believe, UM communicated that we're going to 687 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,240 Speaker 1: pursue more or less of a counter ris and strategy 688 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: where we're gonna go after the enemy in a much 689 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: more connectic way. And as you just mentioned, the key 690 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: to that is taking off the handcuffs that we've been 691 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: dealing with in terms of rules of engagement. Well, and 692 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: you know I mentioned last night, I forget who I 693 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: mentioned it two, but I brought up the issue of 694 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: Clint Laurance and the story that he was a platoon 695 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: leader and now he's got twenty years in jail. He's 696 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: facing he took over a platoon that had been attacked 697 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: by these motorcycle writers that have explosive devices. He sees 698 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: two of them on his way to his platoon, like 699 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: a week or two after he takes leaders leadership role 700 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: in that platoon, and he's got to make a split 701 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: second decision, and we come in and second guess this. 702 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: Poor guy, I'm sorry, that is just fundamentally wrong, and 703 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: now facing twenty years in jail. The good news is 704 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: there apparently is some DNA evidence now that could change 705 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: that case dramatically if we could just get everybody moving. Yeah, 706 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: just to the telling what you said. One of the 707 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: things I'm hopeful for is that cases like Clint's and 708 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: Derek's and uh, Sergeant Derek Miller that is, which is 709 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: another case I know that you're passionate about and others 710 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: won't even come into question to begin with, because of 711 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 1: the shift in strategy. You know. One of the reasons 712 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: Clint and companies like Dog Company from the book you 713 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: just mentioned, um that I authored, the problems that we 714 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: faced were because we're living and operating in and amongst 715 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: the population where they lived. And I believe if we 716 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: can come out of that mindset that we're there to 717 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: basically raise from infancy, you know, a Western style or 718 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: looking democracy in Afghanistan, which is a task way too 719 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: difficult for any any nations undergo on its own, and 720 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: just focus on sort of being the fly swatter, if 721 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: you will, in that area and putting down you know, 722 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: these terrorists thugs um as they pop their head up, 723 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: then we won't have you know, young leaders like what 724 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: Lawrence for myself, um Linium is a population to be 725 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,720 Speaker 1: set up with these unwinnable situations. It's so unfair and 726 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 1: it is so unjust. And he's not the only one. 727 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: I think we had an eight eight times the number 728 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: of people buck when you look at all earlier previous 729 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: wars that have ended up in trouble because of the 730 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: new rules of engagement and then trying to protect themselves 731 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,919 Speaker 1: and them trying to protect their troops and and those 732 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: people that work under them so they don't come home 733 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: in a box. Sean. I think that that's a symptom 734 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: of of the larger disease, and that's politics driving military 735 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: policy and I mean politics here here at home. We 736 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: got to take a break. This is why we had 737 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration a surge announced at the same 738 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: time as a withdrawal, which gave the enemy, I mean 739 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: the Taliban specifically, a roadmap of just how to play it, 740 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, withdraw for a while, um extend into some 741 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: area a lot of other areas. Understand that now the 742 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: president has the previous president, President Obama had committed to 743 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: a timetable that any deviation from would create headaches for 744 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: him at home. And that tell then if you believe 745 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 1: it enough, you know they're savvy enough to watch TV 746 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: and pay enough attention to have a sense of Obama 747 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: being somebody who really does care greatly about what the 748 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: Democrat based thought of what he was doing in Afghanistan 749 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: and all of the political implications of what he was 750 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: doing as as the president at the time. I mean 751 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,359 Speaker 1: Iraka as the bad War, Afghanistan as the good War 752 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: was almost a meme that Obama had attached himself to 753 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: and he was running and there was no way for 754 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: him to get away from it, and or at least 755 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: he was unwilling to get away from it. And then 756 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: when he saw all the way that the war was 757 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 1: actually being fought when he was traph the stuff to 758 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: the enemy. You can just like, I don't think the 759 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: President telegraphed at all any strategy, troops, strength, anything else 760 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,240 Speaker 1: that he's talking about, except that he's gonna rain down 761 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: hell on an enemy that wants to get here and 762 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: destroy us. And it's it's a very very complicated, difficult 763 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: this year because it's not a nation state that we're battling. 764 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: It is a network of people that literally are scattered 765 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: throughout the world and plotting and planning and scheming their 766 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: next attack to like in Barcelona last week. And and 767 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: nine o leven Han site sized version of the show 768 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: that you can take with you.

As we continue 772 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: our discussion with Buck Sexton and Captain Roger Hill about 773 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: the President and his new Afghan policy. Buck, I didn't 774 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: want to interrupt you. We had that to a break. 775 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: I'll let you finish your thought about moving forward, especially 776 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 1: I assume covert operations plausible deniability is a big part 777 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: of this and hopefully using on the front lines the 778 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: people of Afghanistan and I can stand and protect their 779 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: own region. Well, yeah, Sean, it's it's going to be essential, 780 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: especially when you're looking at that the what would be 781 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: the counter terrorism and and HBT high value target side 782 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 1: of this equation, that that they are doing all kinds 783 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: of things that the public in general is not going 784 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 1: to know about, but that will be essential for for 785 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: trying to handle the Taliban and its allies. I mean, 786 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 1: you've got the Islamic State with its Chorissan province that 787 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: has set up in the area. You still have some 788 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 1: remnants of Al Qaeda in the region. You have actually 789 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: Al Qaida in South Asia has set up shop as 790 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: a new franchise, or at least a rebranded franchise. And 791 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: then of course there's the Hakani network which is part 792 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: of but also separate from the Taliban in a sense. 793 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: So you have all these different groups that are working 794 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 1: to destabilize Afghanistan, and we have to go after uh 795 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 1: targets in rapid succession, and we have to do it 796 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 1: without worrying about what the blowback may be here at home. 797 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: Sometimes and that's gonna mean taking action that the Commander 798 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: in chief himself is going to have to be supportive of. Yeah, 799 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: and I think explaining, actually, Dana Perino said those last night, 800 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: and I'll throw those to Captain Hill. I mean, we're 801 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: gonna have to keep the American people updated. And I 802 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 1: think the American people as long as they're updated and 803 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: they know that there's an endgame here, and they know 804 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: that there's not an endless stream of money or an 805 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: endless stream of support, and these people need to step up. 806 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: Unless they're stepping up, we're not going to do the 807 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,399 Speaker 1: job for them. I think they have a pretty high 808 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,319 Speaker 1: degree of patients. Yeah, and I wouldn't go as far 809 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: as to say that um endless was the word I 810 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: would use. I think it's possible that we could be 811 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: there for some time. Let's let's make no bones about it. 812 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: When we show up the fight anywhere in the eyes 813 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,760 Speaker 1: of Extreme Islam, they're gonna send their own foot soldiers 814 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: to match our forces as they can. Afghanistan, I think 815 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 1: Buck would agree, has largely become a training area or 816 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: a place for Extreme Islam to sort of vet or 817 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: test the metal of its frontline fighters. And I think 818 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 1: that will continue. But as long as I'm sure, I'm 819 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: sure our military knows all of that and prepared for 820 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: all of them. But if Afghan is not gonna at 821 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: the Afghanistan A people are going to step up, then 822 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: it's not gonna work, because there's no way it's gonna work. Okay, Well, 823 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: then what are the metrics right and and how are 824 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 1: we going to take over? I think if you'll just 825 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: give me a second, I think one of the best 826 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,320 Speaker 1: things we can do, and I agree with bucks analysis 827 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,240 Speaker 1: in terms of providing that special operations footprint. The special 828 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,880 Speaker 1: operations community is much better suited for this fight than 829 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: the conventional forces, which was what I served under and 830 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: the hun first and also is a part of their 831 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: mission sets, especially the Green Barreat community, to train the 832 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 1: Aftan security forces to take over. But again that has 833 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: to be based on quality and not quantity in terms 834 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: of time. And when we can create a footprint of 835 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: Vafghan security forces that can better support the government, that's 836 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: when we'll be able to start having discussions about where 837 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: we are with up being out of the picture and 838 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: allowing the government to take over. All right, thank you 839 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: both for being with us. We appreciate it. Buck and 840 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,359 Speaker 1: Captain Rogers, thank you so much for Sorry. Captain Roger Hill, 841 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,800 Speaker 1: thanks so much for being with us. Eight D nine one, Shawn, 842 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,879 Speaker 1: I told free telephone number when we come back, Jim 843 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,760 Speaker 1: Jordan's former chairman, now still a member of the Freedom Caucus. 844 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: I say that September, October, November, early December, it's make 845 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 1: or break time. Are the Republicans going to keep their 846 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: promises to the American people? That's next? Are you willing 847 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: to come out and forced the uh condemned Trump's statement, 848 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: such as Bob Corker and been around me off. Yeah, 849 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: So let me let me get into this. And I 850 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 1: was looking forward to this moment right here that Eric 851 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: had this conversation with you. First of all, the President 852 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: I spoke on Monday morning about the need for moral clarity, 853 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: about the need at this very difficult time in our 854 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 1: country to have a morally clear message to absolutely and 855 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 1: singularly condemn this repulsive bigotry. Uh. He agreed with that, 856 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: and he did that later that day on Monday. And 857 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: I thought his speech on Monday was pitch perfect. Uh. 858 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 1: Then the next day, I think it was in New 859 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 1: York on Infrastructure press conference in answer to a question. 860 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: I think he made comments that were much more morally ambiguous, uh, 861 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: much more confusing, And I do think he could have 862 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 1: done better. I think he needed to do better. I 863 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 1: actually think what he did two days ago in commending 864 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 1: the peaceful protests against the Hayden Boston was a good start. 865 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,760 Speaker 1: I think just what I heard I don't know twenty 866 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,839 Speaker 1: five minutes ago was exactly what the President needs to say, 867 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: what we needed to hear. So I do believe that 868 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: he messed up in his comments on Tuesday when it 869 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,959 Speaker 1: sounded like a moral equivocation, or at the very least, 870 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 1: moral ambiguity, when we need extreme moral clarity. The House 871 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,839 Speaker 1: has passed its bill. We're waiting for the Senate to pass. 872 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 1: There's who who wasn't disappointed that the Senate failed to 873 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: pass that bill by one boat the other day. We 874 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 1: all are the reason we're disappointed that they able to 875 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: do it. Okay, I set you up for that one didn't. 876 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: The reason I'm disappointed is because the status quo is 877 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 1: not an option. Obamacare is not working. You just described 878 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 1: your premium increases, your deductible increases. A third of the 879 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 1: counties in Wisconsin are down to one insure right here. 880 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,959 Speaker 1: We've got dozens of counties around America they had zero 881 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: insurers left. So doing nothing really isn't an option. So 882 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: the Senate, honestly, the Senate has to get back and 883 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: keep at it. And so what I've been telling our 884 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,799 Speaker 1: friends in the Senate, get back to work, get a 885 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 1: bill passed. We we will, we will meet you in 886 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: confidence and figure this out. But we can't take no 887 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: for an answer. And unfortunately, that's kind of where we 888 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 1: are with the Senate right now. Do I wish there 889 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,720 Speaker 1: would be a little less tweeting, of course I do. Uh, 890 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 1: But I think I don't think that it's gonna change. 891 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,799 Speaker 1: I think the President feels, and he rightfully feels, that 892 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 1: he has found a way to communicate directly with people 893 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: through around the media, and I think he's been very 894 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 1: successful at doing that. Um are those some of those 895 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 1: tweets that I prefer not to have seen? Of course 896 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,359 Speaker 1: there are. Um But at the end of the day, 897 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: what I control our my own actions, and that is 898 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 1: how I conduct myself, look myself in the mirror, and 899 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 1: kiss my kids bed at night. Alright now till the 900 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: top of the hour, one Shawn A. Toll free telephone number, 901 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,279 Speaker 1: although I don't think anybody saw it. That was Paul 902 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: Ryan on CNN last night, doing a town hall in 903 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 1: his district in Wisconsin and explaining his relationship with the President. 904 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 1: I did not think it was was that bad. He 905 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,919 Speaker 1: was right about the President's comments on Monday, and I 906 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: only think the only thing he was missing there was 907 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: the tweet that I went into yesterday that the President 908 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 1: sent out this Sunday about people standing up in Boston 909 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: against hatred and bigotry and racism. And there is this 910 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: long history montage which I have played where he's disavowed 911 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: again and again and again and again and again. And 912 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 1: I have a tape from one on Larry King Live. 913 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,839 Speaker 1: I got a tape from two thousand on on Matt 914 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,600 Speaker 1: lower Show, and all the times he did it during 915 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: the campaign, and that's him also saying, well, we in 916 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,439 Speaker 1: the House got our job done. And while it wasn't 917 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: exactly what I wanted, they did do their job. They 918 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 1: did the best that they could because some Republicans turned 919 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,280 Speaker 1: their back on their promises, and they got a healthcare 920 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,400 Speaker 1: bill that was infinitely better than what we would have 921 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: otherwise had, which is now still Obamacare and the Senate. 922 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,759 Speaker 1: It's inexcusable what the Senate did and joining us now 923 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan's Congressman Ohio. And of course the group that 924 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 1: I support the most, that I think is the most 925 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 1: principled and fighting the hardest and working the hardest is 926 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,800 Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus. And he's the former chairman, but he 927 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,319 Speaker 1: got demoted and now Mark Meadows is the chairman. How 928 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,479 Speaker 1: are you, Jim, I didn't get the moted. You didn't. 929 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 1: You didn't get the voted at all, did you? No? No, no, 930 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: we didn't did it for two years. It's time for 931 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 1: someone else. And Mark's going an outstanding job. Yeah. What 932 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,319 Speaker 1: do you think about the speaker's comments on all on 933 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 1: all those issues we just played, Well, you're exactly like 934 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,479 Speaker 1: your comments. Six Senators voted against the very the very 935 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: same bill Sean that they voted for six Republican senators, 936 00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,959 Speaker 1: the same bill they voted for eighteen months ago. Same we're, 937 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 1: same sentence, the same common the same punctuation. Everything was 938 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 1: the same as at a different build number top And 939 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: that was the bill to the Coon repeal legislation. Uh, 940 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 1: that's frustrating. And look, if they're getting any type of 941 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 1: the same experience I'm getting. I've been for three and 942 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 1: a half weeks traveling around the fourth District of Ohio, 943 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: and I knew and I expected this. People are ticked 944 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 1: and they deserve to be. Uh. And it's appropriately that 945 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 1: appropriate that they're kicked off because we told them we 946 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 1: were gonna do one thing and it's not done yet. 947 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: So that's that's what's frustrating. Well, it's it's beyond frustrating. 948 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 1: And the other thing that frustrates me is, you know, 949 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 1: every two and four years and what I've done on 950 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: both radio and TV, and I know you're busy, you 951 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 1: probably don't get to watch or listen as much as 952 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: you like. I watch you a lot, brother. Um, look 953 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: I look better with makeup on, and I don't know makeup. 954 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 1: I have a baseball hat, a pair of jeans, and 955 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 1: a T shirt on right now. And that's the way 956 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,640 Speaker 1: I like. That's the way I am. But you know, 957 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: I watched all this and I played this history of 958 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: both as I mentioned Donald Trump throughout the years, this 959 00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 1: avount announcing repudiating the evil of racism and bigger tree. 960 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,879 Speaker 1: Nobody in the media would do that the second thing, 961 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: and then then the second thing that I think is 962 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: really important with the with the president is every two 963 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: to four years that Republicans get the race card played 964 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: against them add elections, and I played the whole history 965 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: of that and the President, I thought, did the right 966 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: thing and said the right thing, and it just wasn't 967 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 1: fast enough. He didn't identify people by name enough. And 968 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 1: it's just you've got these forces trying to take this 969 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,280 Speaker 1: man down every day. So there's no room for racism, 970 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,359 Speaker 1: no room for anti semitism. And look, you and I 971 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: know this president that is not racist and not and 972 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: there's no way it's just not the case. But that 973 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 1: the left, he can never do anything good enough. We 974 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 1: know this is the case. The last they decided, you know, 975 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,840 Speaker 1: when they decided they were gonna never give this this 976 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 1: guy a break and they were gonna come after him. 977 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,239 Speaker 1: They decided about three in the morning on November nine, 978 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,360 Speaker 1: right last, That's when they decided they were going to 979 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 1: do everything they could to undermine what he campaigned on, 980 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 1: what Republicans campaign and conservatives campaigned on. That's when they decided. 981 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,840 Speaker 1: So nothing's ever going to be good enough for the 982 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 1: last We all know that what took place in Charlotteville 983 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: was repugnant. It was wrong, it was terrible, and let's 984 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,200 Speaker 1: condemn it. And let's get focused now and doing what 985 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 1: the American people sent us to do. In spite of 986 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: what the Democrat Party is going to do, and in 987 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 1: spite of what the mainstream press is gonna do, Let's 988 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: get focused on those things. That's what people are telling 989 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 1: me all across our district. Get focused on what you 990 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: all campaigned on. I will say this that the months 991 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 1: of September, October, November, and early December now going to 992 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 1: define this Congress and in large part, the presidency of 993 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. It's not easy to get things done during 994 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,879 Speaker 1: election years now. It couldn't happen. And I'll just say 995 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,280 Speaker 1: the following to your colleagues, And you're not the problem. 996 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I know the work behind the scenes, that 997 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,799 Speaker 1: the heavy lift that you, Jim Jordan's and frankly the 998 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 1: entire Freedom Caucus was involved in in terms of getting 999 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: healthcare across the finish line, and and it was without 1000 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,280 Speaker 1: you guys, that wouldn't have happened. It would not have happened. 1001 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: That's the fact. And we appreciate you're helping. You're right, 1002 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 1: we made that build better, you that build better and 1003 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 1: made it happens. All right, So you know, if you don't, 1004 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,720 Speaker 1: if the if Congress doesn't get middle class tax cuts, 1005 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,839 Speaker 1: if they don't get corporate cuts, if they don't get 1006 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 1: repatriation trillions, and again the corporate cuts and the repatriation 1007 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: are all about building manufacturing centers and and factories and 1008 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 1: creating jobs in America. If you don't get that done 1009 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,280 Speaker 1: minimum and get some of the ridiculous double taxation, death tax, 1010 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 1: all that stuff getting rid of, and you don't get 1011 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 1: energy independence because I am convinced, as you know in 1012 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 1: Ohio that there are millions of high paying career jobs 1013 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 1: available under our feet. And if we don't get three 1014 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: miles of that wall built to show yep, we're getting 1015 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: it done. We're doing it now. Look at the progress. 1016 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: If you and you don't do something with Obamacare, I 1017 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 1: really I think the entire House is probably in jeopardy. 1018 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,239 Speaker 1: And the Senate, where they could have picked up six 1019 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,000 Speaker 1: seven seats, that's in jeopardy. Yeah, you're right. Look what 1020 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,799 Speaker 1: if we had to run for reelection next month, what 1021 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: we campaign on? That's that's the point. So we we've 1022 00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,319 Speaker 1: got to get those things done. That's what we ran 1023 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 1: on today present down on the on the border, the 1024 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 1: border wall, the border security wall is critical. Let's make 1025 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 1: sure it gets funded in the in the government funding 1026 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 1: build this this fall. Let's make sure we do the 1027 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 1: tax reform. Let's let's let's forget about this revenue neutral framework, Belongey. 1028 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 1: Let's focus on letting families keep more of their money 1029 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: and designing a tax code on the corporate side that 1030 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 1: produces economic growth. Playing and simple. Focus on those goals, 1031 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,080 Speaker 1: you'll get the right you'll get the right policy. And then, 1032 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 1: of course, like you said, we've got to finally deal 1033 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: with this Obamacare, which is such a such a hurt 1034 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 1: to families and a hurt in a drag on our economy. 1035 00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 1: You know, how many energy jobs do you projective America 1036 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: committed that in four years we're going to be energy independent. 1037 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 1: How fast could we do it? How many millions of 1038 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 1: jobs are created? Right? I don't know the number, but 1039 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: it's a lot. I know what's happened in eastern Ohio 1040 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 1: and and with with the shale drilling and what took 1041 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 1: place over the last several years. Is down a little 1042 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: bit now based on the price around the world, but 1043 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 1: but that was a huge success for so many folks, 1044 00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 1: and then the manufacturers just supply the material needed to 1045 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 1: make sure you can do that drilling. All that is, 1046 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 1: all that is positive. Put in place a tax code 1047 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,919 Speaker 1: that's conduced to that, don't overregulate our economy. All those 1048 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: things we talked about that just make good common sense, 1049 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 1: and again that that President Trump campaigned on. Those are 1050 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 1: the things I got to get done this fault. But 1051 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 1: I think that the key focus is the taxi form element, 1052 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 1: probably probably more than any of the others. Yeah, well, 1053 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 1: I think for patriation, if you bring in trillions of dollars, 1054 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 1: people that have that kind of money, they're not going 1055 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: to park it in a bank at low interest rates. 1056 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna invest it. And if this is the country 1057 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 1: to invest it, because we have the we've gotten rid 1058 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 1: of all these burdensome regulations with which the President did, 1059 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 1: getting rid of the Obama era regulations. I mean we 1060 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 1: see the benefits without even getting the cuts in and 1061 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 1: getting the money in the conference. You know, there were 1062 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 1: two stories out in the last two days. One lithu 1063 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 1: Wayne is now buying energy from the US, not Russia. 1064 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: Ukraine is doing the same thing and even China now 1065 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: is buying our energy and bypassing the North Korean So 1066 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: that's an amazing opportunity of what we can do, and 1067 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 1: and frankly helping Western Europe from a security front, because 1068 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 1: then they're not so dependent on the idea that Vladimir's 1069 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,160 Speaker 1: Putin could get Piste off one day and turn off 1070 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: the spicket and there goes the lifeblood of their economies. No, 1071 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 1: that's the fundamental point, and it's the big picture that 1072 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan understood. I think our president understand. When America 1073 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 1: leads the world's better. When we lead economically, it allows 1074 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: us to lead more diplomatically. It also allows us to 1075 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 1: lead more militarily when America leads an energy and economy 1076 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 1: and jacks and all the fun. When we lead the 1077 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,520 Speaker 1: world's at better and safer place. That's what's at stake 1078 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 1: with all these policies, and that's why it's so important 1079 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: to get them done. All right, stay right there, Jim 1080 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 1: Jordan's I think I'm gonna be out with him at 1081 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 1: some point and they fall for an event that he's holding. 1082 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if we worked out out yet, Congressman, 1083 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: but I'm willing to go if although it may be 1084 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 1: better if I don't love you, it may be better 1085 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,000 Speaker 1: if I don't show up. You don't want to be 1086 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 1: tied to me in any way, And I don't blame you. 1087 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,840 Speaker 1: Folks in west western Ohio and west central and north 1088 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 1: central Hio would love your brother. Oh I love I 1089 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: love the people in Ohio and we need the memory. 1090 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Every election year we're begging them, please pretty please, with 1091 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 1: sugar on top, go vote. And as we continue, Jim 1092 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,520 Speaker 1: Jordan is with us. He's one of the good guys 1093 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Caucus. Where do you guys stand with 1094 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 1: speak Orian right now? He did the town hall last night. 1095 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 1: Were your thoughts on on the job that he's doing 1096 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 1: and how you all working together? And have you been 1097 01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 1: corresponding a lot. We're not gonna have the same mistake 1098 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 1: as the healthcare bill, where nobody sees it and it's 1099 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 1: just an establishment bill dumped one. No, I don't think though. 1100 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the things we've said is, uh, 1101 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 1: show us the legislation. We we have to pass this budget, 1102 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 1: which creates that insteat called reconciliation, that vehicle called reconciliation. 1103 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 1: And we said we'll pass the budget when we see 1104 01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,760 Speaker 1: the bill. We don't want to before we open the door. 1105 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,280 Speaker 1: We kind of like to know what's on the other side. 1106 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 1: So we're working with the leadership to put together the 1107 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,640 Speaker 1: right kind of tax package that that's gonna let families 1108 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 1: keep more of their money and gonna gonna create economic 1109 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 1: greater opportunity for economic growth. So yeah, we'll we'll move 1110 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 1: forward in that direction. Well, I mean, as so you are. 1111 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 1: In other words, this is going to be a consensus bill. 1112 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,960 Speaker 1: We're not going to have a situation like last time. 1113 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: That's our whole. I mean, that's our whole. Well, that's 1114 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 1: our hope. Doesn't make me confident, I mean I want 1115 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 1: to hear yes, we're gonna have a consensus bill. Well, 1116 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean that's what the freedom caocus once we want 1117 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 1: to build. That's consistent with what we told the American people. 1118 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,480 Speaker 1: You know what we're hearing right now. The outlines of 1119 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,440 Speaker 1: it are good, go to three brackets on the on 1120 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 1: the personal side, but middle class families keep more of 1121 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 1: their money to get the corporate rate much slower than 1122 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 1: it is now. There's debate about the immediate defensing and 1123 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 1: and a host of other issues to repay creation, how 1124 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 1: much and what that rate will be to all those things. 1125 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,919 Speaker 1: But the but the outline is good, but we want 1126 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: some more specifics and it's I'm not on the way 1127 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 1: the mean committee. I don't write the specifics of the legislation, 1128 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,520 Speaker 1: but we're providing all the input that says do it 1129 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 1: in a way that's consistent with what what again, what 1130 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: we promised the voters we're gonna do. You know, So, 1131 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: what do you think is realistically going to be done 1132 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 1: by the time you guys go away? For? How many 1133 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 1: breaks do you have between now? Because I don't live 1134 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 1: the life of a congressman. No, do it. With with 1135 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 1: all due respect to your colleagues, I've never seen such 1136 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 1: vacation time in my life. But I mean, you're gonna 1137 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: work how many legislative days between now and Christmas? I 1138 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 1: don't know that number. I know there's only twelve scheduled 1139 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 1: in September, which is which is a problem. And I 1140 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 1: know that eight weeks ago we still at a press 1141 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: conference Mark Meadows, myself and a host of other members 1142 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 1: in House Freedom Caucus, and we said, do not go 1143 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 1: home in August until we know the outline of Attack Hill, 1144 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 1: until we decide something on what we're gonna do on 1145 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 1: the debt seiling issue. What what kind of structural change 1146 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:18,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna get in in a debt ceiling increase that 1147 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 1: will deal with the underlying the big problem with twenty 1148 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 1: trillion dollar debt problem we have. And let's stay in 1149 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: August until we figure out healthcare. We said those three things, 1150 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 1: and yet now our leadership said, now go on home. 1151 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Well we'll just we'll just come back and try to 1152 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,680 Speaker 1: get things done in twelve days in September. I think 1153 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 1: that was a mistake. I think the American people think that, 1154 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 1: I know you do you talked about that whole lot. Gosh. 1155 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 1: I like, stay there in August and let's get something done. 1156 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 1: Get your job done. I don't understand the lack of urgency. Well, 1157 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 1: look it's now do or die, and and these three 1158 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,120 Speaker 1: and a half months will define this Congress. And I 1159 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 1: hope they got the work done for the people that 1160 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,200 Speaker 1: needed to, so many people suffering in this country. Congressman 1161 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan's always a pleasure, thank you, and all my 1162 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 1: best to your fellow Freedom Caucus members. The only people 1163 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 1: like I really feel we can count on it this time. 1164 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,440 Speaker 1: Eight nine one Shawn or toll Free telephone number you 1165 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Um was 1166 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,720 Speaker 1: it is, are the rules of engagement sending American troops 1167 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 1: to jail unnecessarily? Are they ending up getting Americans killed? 1168 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: And the President last night will lift the rules of engagement. 1169 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,840 Speaker 1: Will talk about that with Austin Gulsby next going up 1170 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:25,040 Speaker 1: next our final News round up and Information Overload hour. 1171 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 1: Al Right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour on the 1172 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Our top story remains the President and 1173 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 1: of course is addressed to the nation last night about 1174 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 1: Afghanistan and moving forward, and without repeating everything, the speech 1175 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: was to me the president's better self, principled realism. He 1176 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: talked about says he usually does not go again against 1177 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,400 Speaker 1: his gut instinct, but there's something about being in that 1178 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 1: office that does change people. And after looking and studying, 1179 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 1: he addressed how number one, how this country must unite, 1180 01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,840 Speaker 1: how we have faced down evil in the past and prevailed. 1181 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 1: We went against he went against his own instinct, that 1182 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 1: this country's patience is not unlimited, is not going to 1183 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: be nation building and it's up to those in the region. 1184 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, he will not telegraph 1185 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,200 Speaker 1: our plans. He'll get rid of the stupid Obama rules 1186 01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: of engagement and Obama's control factors. He's going to empower 1187 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 1: the generals and the boots on the ground, and everybody 1188 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,200 Speaker 1: must share a burden. Here. Austin Gouldsby is with us. 1189 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 1: He's the former Economic Council advisor. I don't know what 1190 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,000 Speaker 1: you are for Obama. I would never even want to 1191 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: associate myself after those disastrous economic four years. But as 1192 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 1: you can see, every economic indicators up since President Trump 1193 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,960 Speaker 1: has gotten in office. And I'm sure you're really happy 1194 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 1: about it. Well, Obama was there for eight years. I 1195 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 1: know you haven't been what's been happening. By the way, 1196 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,280 Speaker 1: you haven't been, slip. Did you really go to Oregon 1197 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,520 Speaker 1: to watch the eclipse? Before we get to this, did 1198 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: you really go to Oregon to watch the eclipse? Well, 1199 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: we were at Mount Redeer and we wanted to go. 1200 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 1: We love going to national parks, so we wanted to 1201 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: see something before Trump sell off the public lands to 1202 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: private owners. So we went to Mount Rainier. We went 1203 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,760 Speaker 1: over to Columbia River Gorge. Then we drove down and 1204 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 1: saw the eclipse. It was pretty amazing. I thought it 1205 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,480 Speaker 1: was gonna be darker you know, why, why do I 1206 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:18,280 Speaker 1: picture you out in these goofy shorts with tasty white legs, 1207 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, walking around obviously a tourist who usn't seen 1208 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 1: sunlight in the last fifteen years, and and walking around, 1209 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,400 Speaker 1: and everyone's saying, look at that guy, he's a tourist. 1210 01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 1: Those legs are translucent. And you know, you're sitting there 1211 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 1: with your picanic basket like Yogi Bear, and you're and 1212 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,680 Speaker 1: you're watching the lunar eclips and I'm just thinking and 1213 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: probably you know, sipping on Boone's farm Strawberry Hill. That's 1214 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 1: how I envisioned it. Well, I had sunscreen, you know what. 1215 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: But I'm right about your legs have not seen Your 1216 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 1: legs have not seen there. There were a lot of 1217 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people everywhere. I mean, it's 1218 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 1: like a out in the booties of Oregon. But they're 1219 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 1: huge traffic jams because they were you know, two million. 1220 01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: A lot of liberals like you wanted to see the 1221 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 1: lips also, so they went to Oregon. Of course, I'm 1222 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 1: sure everybody. I saw a lot of Make America one 1223 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 1: extra day to see it. It was pretty amazing. You 1224 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 1: should go see it next time. Listen I'm fascinated by 1225 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,920 Speaker 1: it all. I mean, that's actually something that we we 1226 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: can agree on. I would even think on a lot 1227 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 1: of the issues. I mean, I I would even imagine 1228 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 1: that you believe that the rules of engagement that Obama 1229 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,400 Speaker 1: put in place were so stringent that it literally tied 1230 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 1: the hands every military guy that I talked to between 1231 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 1: last night and today that I know, they're like, oh, 1232 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: thank god, if you don't send us to go fight 1233 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 1: a war and then put handcuffs on us like Obama did. Well, 1234 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, there are two sides to that. What's the 1235 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 1: side of the story that they did have rules of 1236 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 1: engagements that were that were onerous and ridiculous in various ways. 1237 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 1: And the reason that that the military had those rules 1238 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:54,880 Speaker 1: of engagement they were Obamas. Killing civilians is so unpopular 1239 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: as such a such a productive You're accusing our troops 1240 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 1: of killing Saville ind and wanted to not at kids, 1241 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 1: bomb wedding stuff like that. So as you suggesting our 1242 01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,880 Speaker 1: troops are baby killers, know that when you have bombings 1243 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 1: and we we we had it with the drones too, 1244 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 1: it's not it's not about um being sounds like, it's 1245 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:21,360 Speaker 1: that if you don't have very stringent rules of engagement. 1246 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,320 Speaker 1: The upside to that is you can act more freely. 1247 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,520 Speaker 1: The downside is if somebody gives you bad intelligence, which 1248 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,160 Speaker 1: does happen. You know, we're getting information from some shady 1249 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: characters over there, and sometimes they're passing on information. Oh, 1250 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: you should bomb this spot because those are bad guys, 1251 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 1: And we bombed that spot, and then it turns out 1252 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 1: it was just that individual. It's a little bit more 1253 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 1: complicated than that. You can't fire at somebody unless they 1254 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 1: would aim at you. Now, let me ask you. The 1255 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 1: converse argument to this is obvious. American troops are on 1256 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 1: the ground, risking their lives and they've got to make 1257 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 1: split second to sue Asians. And this is called war. 1258 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, in war it is one of the it's 1259 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 1: the darker parts of the human experience. There are really 1260 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 1: evil people that exist in this world. The Taliban is 1261 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 1: really evil. Radical islamis that strapped strap bombs on their 1262 01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:21,439 Speaker 1: own kids. That's really evil. Those that oppressed women and 1263 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:26,400 Speaker 1: children and persecute gays and lesbians and kill them, and 1264 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 1: persecute Christians and Jews. There's a lot of evil in 1265 01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 1: this world right now. And so we're sending brave American 1266 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,360 Speaker 1: young men and women to go fight. They're willing to fight, 1267 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: bleed and die for their country, and then we're putting 1268 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,639 Speaker 1: handcuffs on them and they've got to make a split 1269 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 1: second decision, and in the back of their mind they're 1270 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 1: scared to death because oh am, I gonna go to 1271 01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,840 Speaker 1: jail if I make a mistake here. Um, that's not 1272 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,720 Speaker 1: fair to them. And if we're gonna fight wars like that, 1273 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 1: then I don't think anybody should go fight a war 1274 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,679 Speaker 1: because you can't win, and that's not winning to look 1275 01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,640 Speaker 1: like I say, I'm I see your point, and I 1276 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,000 Speaker 1: am sympathetic to making that you support the rules of 1277 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 1: the you just I want you to acknowledge that there 1278 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,000 Speaker 1: is a trade off to be had here, which is 1279 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,640 Speaker 1: should we err on the side of Americans are on 1280 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,640 Speaker 1: the side of the style. We're in the trenches and 1281 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,040 Speaker 1: you look and see the enemy and you and they're 1282 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 1: telling them, no, you can't shoot at them. It's all 1283 01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 1: about the gray area of how do you figure out 1284 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,360 Speaker 1: if that's a combatant or not? And how do you 1285 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,519 Speaker 1: possibly sitting in the comfort of Oregon looking at the 1286 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,799 Speaker 1: eclipse or Oboma sitting in the comfort of the Oval Office, 1287 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: with all due respect, if we hire the right people, 1288 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,240 Speaker 1: which we do the best and the bravest that America 1289 01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,880 Speaker 1: has to offer, isn't it really Shouldn't it really be 1290 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 1: their decision, considering they're the ones that are gonna live 1291 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,640 Speaker 1: and die by that decision, not us. Well, when you 1292 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,839 Speaker 1: say should it be their decisions? Say you're a pilot 1293 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 1: with a bomb and you're flying in and they're calling 1294 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 1: up to you and they say, here's the coordinates to 1295 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,759 Speaker 1: drop the bomb. The question is at the military intelligence level, 1296 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:02,240 Speaker 1: what is the degree of certainty? I don't like what 1297 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:09,479 Speaker 1: the collateral damage? That's not the rules of engagement. No. 1298 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: I can give you an example of the Obama rules 1299 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: of engagement. The guy's name is Clint Lawrence. Look up 1300 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:17,640 Speaker 1: the case. Clint Lawrence took over a platoon after a 1301 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,759 Speaker 1: week or two weeks prior, uh many in that platoon 1302 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 1: were killed by these these guys on motorcycles with explosive devices. 1303 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, he's got a split 1304 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 1: second decision to make because there's his platoon that already 1305 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,839 Speaker 1: lost some members and a couple of motorcycles aren't listening 1306 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 1: to the roadblocks and they're coming, racing down right towards them, 1307 01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,800 Speaker 1: and he has to make a split second decision. Are 1308 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 1: they bombers, are they people that that are here to 1309 01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 1: kill us, or are they good people? And he had 1310 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 1: to make a split second decision. He ended up ordering 1311 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,719 Speaker 1: the troops to fire to protect them. Now it turned 1312 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 1: out in the case that they didn't have bombs with them, 1313 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,680 Speaker 1: but he made the decision, and he will own that 1314 01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:57,960 Speaker 1: the rest of his life. But then it later came 1315 01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 1: out after his trial that the d n of these 1316 01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:06,280 Speaker 1: two people were on improvised improvised explosive devices that did 1317 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:11,240 Speaker 1: kill Americans. No, he's in jail right now. That if 1318 01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 1: the fact patterns what you describe, I would be inclined 1319 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,440 Speaker 1: that we had that we relaxed some rules of engagement 1320 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 1: to allow that split second type decision. But you can't 1321 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,679 Speaker 1: get away from the fact that the reason you got 1322 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 1: to make a choice about how close to the border 1323 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 1: on the Gray area situations do you want to get. 1324 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,759 Speaker 1: And it is a helpful recruiting device for the evil 1325 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,799 Speaker 1: guys that they can say, look, this was a couple 1326 01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 1: who was driving and they weren't They weren't members of 1327 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 1: vices and the military just shot him, or that the 1328 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 1: drones bombed a mosque and it wasn't a mosque where 1329 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,519 Speaker 1: they were hiding weapons. And things like that are massive 1330 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 1: recruiting devices for terrorists, and that's why they put in 1331 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 1: those rules of engagement. I can I just say, I 1332 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 1: am really stunned that you support this and that you're 1333 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,519 Speaker 1: gonna say that somehow in the back of the troop's minds. 1334 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,160 Speaker 1: The answer to that is that we hire the best 1335 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 1: and the bravest and the toughest, and that means the 1336 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: best generals, we get the best intelligence. Listen, nobody likes 1337 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 1: innocent people ever dying. I'm pro life, Austin. I want 1338 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 1: to see everybody live a happy, prosperous life. I believe 1339 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 1: we're all children of God, and some go awry and 1340 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:33,000 Speaker 1: some get indoctrinated into evil ideologies. But at the end 1341 01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:37,040 Speaker 1: of the day, sadly, when you have to battle evil 1342 01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 1: and you have to stand up for liberty and fight 1343 01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,320 Speaker 1: for the lives of Americans, that also means when you're 1344 01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 1: in in war time, it means that people are going 1345 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 1: to die, and yes, some innocent people. That it breaks 1346 01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 1: everybody's heart with an innocent person dies. Let me give 1347 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,800 Speaker 1: you two examples. Was it wrong for Truman to drop 1348 01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,400 Speaker 1: the Was it wrong for Truman to drop the bombs 1349 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,040 Speaker 1: on Hiroshima and not Kasaki? I don't think so. The 1350 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,880 Speaker 1: innocent people died Austin, A lot of innocent people do 1351 01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,479 Speaker 1: about that is, did Harry Truman get to make the 1352 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 1: decision or did the military decide without consulting the president? 1353 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,559 Speaker 1: I didn't ask you that. Quite. Don't get in the weeds. 1354 01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,639 Speaker 1: Don't get in the weeds here. Innocent people died. There 1355 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:20,800 Speaker 1: was what we call and it is a cold term. 1356 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't even like a collateral damage. Innocent children, innocent 1357 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,680 Speaker 1: men and women that were not engaged in war with 1358 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,719 Speaker 1: US died, but it ended the war and it prevented 1359 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 1: future American deaths. Was that the right decision? As I say, 1360 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,800 Speaker 1: I think it was the right decision. There is a 1361 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:40,519 Speaker 1: critical argument over was that the decision for Harry Truman 1362 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:45,160 Speaker 1: to make or should that be allowed? Should nuclear weapon decisions, 1363 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 1: for example, be passed down to lower level commanders than 1364 01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:53,720 Speaker 1: the commander in chief? That by your either way, listen, 1365 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get in the weeds here. With 1366 01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 1: the military, the best people, so they should just be 1367 01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:01,800 Speaker 1: able to a decision that guarantee heed the deaths of 1368 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 1: however many thousands of innocent people, including children, was the 1369 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,160 Speaker 1: right decision. So how do you justify the rules of 1370 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,960 Speaker 1: engagement after what you have said? President of the United 1371 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,679 Speaker 1: States made that decision. They did not allow lower level 1372 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,519 Speaker 1: troops to make the decision. You can't send men and 1373 01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,960 Speaker 1: women into harms. You can't send men and women in 1374 01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,519 Speaker 1: a harm's way and put handcuffs on them. You cannot 1375 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:29,320 Speaker 1: do that. It's not fair to them. If we're going 1376 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,000 Speaker 1: to ask them to risk their lives for their country. 1377 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,440 Speaker 1: It is and listen, you know what. This is complicated, 1378 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we can't send 1379 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 1: brave men and women to die and and not give 1380 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: them the ability to defend themselves. And on occasion they're 1381 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,719 Speaker 1: gonna be wrong. It's sad. I wish it never would happen. 1382 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:52,599 Speaker 1: I wish evil didn't exist, but it does. And Radical 1383 01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 1: islamis or evil and they want to kill all of us. 1384 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 1: And as we continue with Austin Goldsby is back with us, 1385 01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:01,720 Speaker 1: all right, So want to establish what we've we've been 1386 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,639 Speaker 1: talking about here. So you think it was right what 1387 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 1: Harry Truman decided The two bombs in Hiroshima, Nagasaki. I mean, 1388 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,720 Speaker 1: by the way, it is a human tragedy. If the 1389 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,840 Speaker 1: Japanese never bombed Pearl Harbor. My father spent four years 1390 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 1: in the Pacific. You hate that innocent men, women are killed, 1391 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,640 Speaker 1: and children are killed, but it also ended and stopped 1392 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,519 Speaker 1: evil in that time that was being perpetrated against this country, 1393 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 1: and we were innocent. And you look at that and 1394 01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,280 Speaker 1: you say, okay, that that was the right decision. But 1395 01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,960 Speaker 1: then you want to put handcuffs on brave men and 1396 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 1: women on the ground in Afghanistan and other places that 1397 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 1: are battling evil in our time and say that if 1398 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,200 Speaker 1: God forbid, they better make sure that gun has pointed 1399 01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: at them, and they better have evidence, and they're gonna 1400 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 1: prove their their innocence and then not assumed innocent. That's 1401 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,680 Speaker 1: happened way too much to our brave men, men in 1402 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:55,680 Speaker 1: in uniform. Austin and I don't understand your logic if 1403 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 1: you support We know that thousands and thousands of innocent 1404 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 1: people died in Japan with those two bombs, we know it, 1405 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: but we also know it ended the war, and we 1406 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,360 Speaker 1: also and you say it was the right decision and 1407 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,680 Speaker 1: so do I. It's not an easy decision, but it's 1408 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 1: the right decision. Algis in the following way. One that's 1409 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,960 Speaker 1: after four years of long, hard war. My grandpa was 1410 01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 1: in the Pacific War, and I think we had to 1411 01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,480 Speaker 1: drop the atomic bomb, and that was the advanced technology 1412 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,760 Speaker 1: that we had at that moment. There was we had 1413 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 1: no way to find only those select few parts of 1414 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 1: the Japanese landscape or army or whatever we had. We 1415 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 1: we had an atomic bomb or nothing. But they we 1416 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:43,720 Speaker 1: have established that the decisions about super important things are 1417 01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,760 Speaker 1: to be determined by commander in chief. And you're going 1418 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,679 Speaker 1: off on an entirely different argument here, and I'm saying, 1419 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 1: if it was the right decision, and we've got to 1420 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 1: make sure that the people we hire for our military 1421 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,760 Speaker 1: are capable of making the right decisions under the most 1422 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,719 Speaker 1: difficult circumstances, and we've how to trust them. And frankly, 1423 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,479 Speaker 1: if we're asking them to fight, bleed and die and 1424 01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,439 Speaker 1: they don't get the greatest benefits in that job, if 1425 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: we're asking them to do that, I don't think we 1426 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,120 Speaker 1: have the right to come in and second guess them. 1427 01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 1: And so if we take in Afghanistan, the critical rules 1428 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,800 Speaker 1: of engagement, as I understand it, are about the use 1429 01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 1: of drones and the targeting. The cases where a guy's 1430 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 1: in the trenches and it's and they're come running right atoms, 1431 01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:31,759 Speaker 1: those are rare cases. The rules are things like should 1432 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:38,280 Speaker 1: we bomb a a group of targets which are associated 1433 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,799 Speaker 1: with in some way the Taliban, or should we get 1434 01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,960 Speaker 1: further information to figure out whether they're actually members of 1435 01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 1: the Taliban or not. I gave you different than the 1436 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:53,760 Speaker 1: atomic I gave you specific examples. Clint Lawrance is but one, 1437 01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 1: and we've had eight times the number of soldiers. According 1438 01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,439 Speaker 1: to one article that I read, I can't cite it now, 1439 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,760 Speaker 1: but i'm i'm it was very high, a dramatic increase, 1440 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:07,200 Speaker 1: and bringing these soldiers to trial, second guessing them and 1441 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,880 Speaker 1: many end up spending time in jail. And to me, 1442 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,040 Speaker 1: it is it is just you can't fight. If you're 1443 01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 1: gonna fight a war like that, then get out. Don't 1444 01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,200 Speaker 1: even bother. You're wasting everybody's time and it's not fair 1445 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,479 Speaker 1: we're putting handcuffs on people. But Austin, I gotta roll. 1446 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed the lunar eclipse and we will 1447 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,840 Speaker 1: continue this discuss great not to talk about Obama's horrible 1448 01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,920 Speaker 1: economic policies, for one, So I didn't bring that up 1449 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,599 Speaker 1: quite a bit with you, But thank you for being 1450 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 1: with a now till the top of the hour, Toll 1451 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,680 Speaker 1: free telephone numbers eight hundred nine for one seawn, you 1452 01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,160 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Alright. So 1453 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 1: remember this woman, the state senator from the great state 1454 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 1: of Missouri, and her name is Maria Chappelle Nadal, And 1455 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 1: she puts his Facebook post up and she hopes Trump 1456 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 1: gets assassinated, and she takes it down, but she says, 1457 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to apologize. I'm never going to apologize. Now, listen, 1458 01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:00,880 Speaker 1: it was inappropriate. I said that three times now apologizing 1459 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,760 Speaker 1: for now, when the president apologizes for what he says, 1460 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 1: I'll apologize. But my apart that you're you're staying it 1461 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,960 Speaker 1: was inappropriate, not apologize. It was inappropriate. It was wrong. 1462 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,880 Speaker 1: I put it, posted it to my personal Facebook page 1463 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:19,000 Speaker 1: and I deleted it. But you're not apologizing, No, all right, 1464 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm not apologizing. No really. Well, I hope, by the way, 1465 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,240 Speaker 1: at some point the Secret Service visits her, if they 1466 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:29,559 Speaker 1: haven't already. Now let's go on to what is can 1467 01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:34,160 Speaker 1: only be described as a bizarre apology after she swore 1468 01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 1: she'd never apologized President Trump. I apologize to you and 1469 01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 1: your family. I made a mistake. And you know, what 1470 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm reminded of is that we are all human and 1471 01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm also a child of God. I made a mistake, 1472 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: and I'm owning up to it, and I am not 1473 01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 1: ever going to make a mistake like that again. And 1474 01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:01,640 Speaker 1: I have learned my lesson. My judge in my jury 1475 01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:06,160 Speaker 1: is my Lord Jesus Christ. Okay, that's fine, but she 1476 01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:09,559 Speaker 1: should still be removed. She was defiant, and it sounds 1477 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,240 Speaker 1: like now that the momentum has built to the point 1478 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,599 Speaker 1: where she's gonna lose her job. I suspect that's where 1479 01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 1: the apology came from. That's just me. What Why do 1480 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 1: I know? How do I read somebody's heart? Hard to tell, 1481 01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:24,080 Speaker 1: but I kind of no politicians, Well, and when push 1482 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,080 Speaker 1: comes to shove and it's their jobs on the line, 1483 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 1: well maybe we'll rethink that just for a second. All right, 1484 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 1: let's get to our busy telephones. Many of you have 1485 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 1: been extremely patient. We're gonna go to Phoenix, Arizona. The president, 1486 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,439 Speaker 1: of course, in Arizona's got a big, big town hall tonight, 1487 01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,680 Speaker 1: schedule to begin as Hannity begins ten eastern on the 1488 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:47,360 Speaker 1: Fox News Channel. Will cover that rally and UH commentary afterwards. Uh, 1489 01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,600 Speaker 1: let's go to Lynda Linda High. You're on kf Y 1490 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,479 Speaker 1: I and the Sean Hannity Show. Hi, Sean, thank you 1491 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 1: for speaking with me today. I'm I'm looking forward to 1492 01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,799 Speaker 1: President Trump coming to the valley. Um. It's very exciting 1493 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 1: to have our president attend and come and visit us. 1494 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,599 Speaker 1: But um, and I really wanted to go to the rally. 1495 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 1: I just don't have any bodyguards to protect me from 1496 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:14,280 Speaker 1: the source funded professional anti Trump protesters. Well, from what 1497 01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,720 Speaker 1: I understand, Look, I know, I think we learned a 1498 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:21,200 Speaker 1: lot in Boston this weekend. Then that is when police 1499 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 1: and the local mayor and the local governor and the 1500 01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,240 Speaker 1: state governor and law enforcement are given the opportunity to 1501 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:32,240 Speaker 1: do their job. I mean, yet, all these peaceful protesters 1502 01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,880 Speaker 1: in Boston, they did a great job. And and with 1503 01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,839 Speaker 1: the few people that were there that wanted to cause trouble, 1504 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 1: the police did their job and they were able to 1505 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:43,479 Speaker 1: do it, thank God, without incident. There's going to be 1506 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,799 Speaker 1: people tonight. I guarantee you that want to disrupt cause trouble. 1507 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 1: Probably the fee will get into whatever the arena is 1508 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,680 Speaker 1: and they're going to try and cause trouble. And you know, 1509 01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,240 Speaker 1: I just believe that with all the warning that is 1510 01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 1: out there, that there's going to be enough in terms 1511 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 1: of law enforcement to get the job done. That's what 1512 01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 1: I believe. I agree with you, and they are. He's 1513 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 1: coming to the convention Center, and um, I mean, we 1514 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,599 Speaker 1: have a great police force here. It's just a matter 1515 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:15,959 Speaker 1: of you know, we our own Senator McCain and just Lake. Um, 1516 01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:20,679 Speaker 1: I mean, they just bad mouth the president and his agenda. 1517 01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,599 Speaker 1: And I get a little more than mildly nauseous because 1518 01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,879 Speaker 1: I feel they do not represent me or my president, 1519 01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:28,920 Speaker 1: and they're not on the same side but their own. 1520 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,640 Speaker 1: And I also feel they're a democratic wing of the 1521 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,599 Speaker 1: Republican Party. So when they attract President Trump, I feel 1522 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,680 Speaker 1: like they're attacking me. Listen that there has been and 1523 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,320 Speaker 1: I understand that. I understand there are some people now 1524 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:46,360 Speaker 1: frustrated and they just I'm not at that place where 1525 01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 1: others are. And I'll tell you why. The attacks this 1526 01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 1: president has lived under for the entire time of his 1527 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,839 Speaker 1: presidency and and even in the lead up to the election, 1528 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 1: but more specifically after he won and shot the world 1529 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 1: than no. But he saw it coming. We saw it coming, 1530 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 1: I saw it coming. You saw it coming. But not 1531 01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:07,559 Speaker 1: everybody saw this coming. And when it happened, they could 1532 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 1: not believe they lost. And they have been trying their 1533 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,880 Speaker 1: level best ever since to try and undo a duly 1534 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,720 Speaker 1: elected president. And they were trying their level best to 1535 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,479 Speaker 1: hurt the president and they're trying their best to get 1536 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 1: him out of office. It's funny, you know, with the 1537 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,080 Speaker 1: latest from Charlotte's Villain, we haven't heard a whole lot 1538 01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,639 Speaker 1: about Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, And it's 1539 01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:33,080 Speaker 1: all about the deep state wanting to leak on this president. 1540 01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,200 Speaker 1: It's all about unmasking that never should have taken place, 1541 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,800 Speaker 1: or veillance that never should have taken place, leaks, intelligence 1542 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 1: leaks that never should have taken place. It's about a 1543 01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,120 Speaker 1: democratic party that has no vision at all, no identity 1544 01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:48,599 Speaker 1: at all, and the only thing they think they can 1545 01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,360 Speaker 1: run on as a bumper sticker a better way. That's 1546 01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:54,920 Speaker 1: not an agenda that's going to inspire anybody. Weak Republicans 1547 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,320 Speaker 1: that have up till now not gotten their job done. 1548 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 1: They better get their act together because the X three 1549 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 1: and a half months to fine there will define their 1550 01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,599 Speaker 1: opportunity to keep the House and Senate and gain seats 1551 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,400 Speaker 1: in the Senator or not. And then you've got never Trumpers. 1552 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,600 Speaker 1: They they just you know, they want to run with 1553 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 1: the narrative, and there's been a very false narrative from 1554 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:17,240 Speaker 1: the beginning, those of five extraordinarily powerful forces that have 1555 01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:19,840 Speaker 1: been against the president, and people just wish we'd have 1556 01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:21,800 Speaker 1: a few weeks of governing and a few weeks of 1557 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:23,920 Speaker 1: getting things done and a few weeks focused on the 1558 01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 1: American people and the forgotten men and women. A lot 1559 01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 1: of people want that, and unfortunately the president you know, 1560 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,720 Speaker 1: percent of the time, and people look at the turnover 1561 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,840 Speaker 1: and it's it's if you're spending eighty percent of your 1562 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 1: time dealing with crap that nobody should have to deal with, 1563 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:42,680 Speaker 1: then this, sadly, is the net outcome of this. The 1564 01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,160 Speaker 1: media has has just wants to take him down and 1565 01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,200 Speaker 1: it's not going to stop for the next four years. 1566 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 1: And Republicans better understand that if they don't get their 1567 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,839 Speaker 1: job done and serve people, we're gonna be in trouble. 1568 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: Let's go to Kate is in Houston, Texas. Ktr H, Kate, Hi, 1569 01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:00,679 Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Hey? Sean bodyma pal? 1570 01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:03,760 Speaker 1: How you doing? What's going on? Kate, my buddy, my pal, 1571 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:07,360 Speaker 1: my bff, what's happening? That's right. Well, I've got a 1572 01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:09,320 Speaker 1: couple of things I want to rescue on. But what 1573 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,240 Speaker 1: I really want to say first is that I am 1574 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:15,679 Speaker 1: just so pleased that thought Trump's speech last night was spantastical. 1575 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,240 Speaker 1: He has such a great tone and tenor, and yet 1576 01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,439 Speaker 1: he was humble. He explained this process, which I really 1577 01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 1: think for people like me who are constant Trumpers, I 1578 01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 1: was a Trump before he walked came down that escalator, 1579 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:28,960 Speaker 1: that when you allow people to come in on that 1580 01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:32,240 Speaker 1: decision making process, it really shows your leadership. I mean, 1581 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,400 Speaker 1: I know as a leader that when I tell people 1582 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,800 Speaker 1: that we are changing the direction versus just you know, 1583 01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 1: telling them that I explained the process of how I became, 1584 01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,360 Speaker 1: how it came to that conclusion, that it really just 1585 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 1: makes a huge difference. And I really love that he 1586 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 1: in the very beginning that speech, he declared, once a 1587 01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,840 Speaker 1: freaking gain, sorry about that, that we are all in 1588 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,120 Speaker 1: there by the way, freaking is not on the PC 1589 01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,360 Speaker 1: band list yet, but just stay tuned a couple of 1590 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,559 Speaker 1: more years and well, I'm sure that's going to be 1591 01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,160 Speaker 1: added to the list of things we can't say with 1592 01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,559 Speaker 1: my kids. If I say freaking, they freak out. So anyway, 1593 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,040 Speaker 1: so once a freak again, I'll say that nice and clearly. 1594 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:08,000 Speaker 1: Every time I say any curse word, even if I say, um, 1595 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: let's just say the the vernacular for one's rear end, 1596 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 1: my daughter hits me. I have a lot of black 1597 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,040 Speaker 1: and blues for my daughter. Well, my kids are right 1598 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,360 Speaker 1: behind that because they sit there and say, oh, Sean, 1599 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 1: do want said that world, And I'm like, no, it's 1600 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:28,280 Speaker 1: it's not a bad word any exactly. It's a donkey. Yeah, 1601 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:31,200 Speaker 1: it's a donkey. So anyway, I just want to say, though, 1602 01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 1: I really love it that he said that, because you know, 1603 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 1: I stood behind him from the very beginning and never 1604 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,200 Speaker 1: ever would have ever called him a racist or a sympathizer. 1605 01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:43,200 Speaker 1: He has a daughter who is Jewish, she converted to didousm. 1606 01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,720 Speaker 1: He is not a white supremacist. He does not have 1607 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,960 Speaker 1: racism in his heart. I've never ever believed in that, 1608 01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,760 Speaker 1: and it's really bothered me when people have come out 1609 01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:56,879 Speaker 1: with that continual narrative. Those are high level, deep digging, 1610 01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:59,840 Speaker 1: scar making insults to throw at anyone, especially when there's 1611 01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:01,880 Speaker 1: still evidence of that in a person's life. There's no 1612 01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,439 Speaker 1: bounds to the hatred of those on the left today. 1613 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when you really think about it, 1614 01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,400 Speaker 1: you know there's a certain blame that goes to the 1615 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 1: Republican Party because they have not forcefully fought back every 1616 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,000 Speaker 1: two and four years. And I have spent all of 1617 01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,439 Speaker 1: this time pointing out every election season that the race 1618 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 1: card is going to be played. Then I every four years, 1619 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:23,520 Speaker 1: every two years, I run the history of the Democrats 1620 01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,639 Speaker 1: playing the race card, and we've got the evidence in proof, 1621 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:28,840 Speaker 1: and Republicans are just like, Okay, as long as it's 1622 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:30,640 Speaker 1: not about me, I'm not gonna say anything. This is 1623 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:32,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to get in trouble. And I'm like, 1624 01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,559 Speaker 1: it's embolding the left to keep doing this and it's 1625 01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:39,080 Speaker 1: got to stop. We just want him to be able 1626 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:43,000 Speaker 1: to do that job that you constantly are telling us 1627 01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:46,320 Speaker 1: that he is doing. His accomplishments are numerable, but we 1628 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 1: don't get to hear about that because we have this 1629 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,880 Speaker 1: democratic playbook that is not new like you're saying, okay, 1630 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:53,040 Speaker 1: so I want to RaSE you a little bit.
