The controversial nomination of Jack Lou you 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: might remember his Treasury secretary under Obama and his role 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: in the facilitating of the money to Iran and now 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: being put up to be ambassador tot Israel, which is 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: just insane, has gotten a lot of attention in DC. 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: And anyway, Jack Lou, under questioning from Senator Ted Cruz, 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, just refuses and dodges and ducks and weaves 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: away from answering these questions about whether he believes the 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: world is safer because of. 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: The Iran deal. 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: And then he does want to answer whether or not 15 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz's question if he thinks it's a good idea 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: to send humanitarian aid to Gaza. Anyone with half a 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: brain knows that aid is going right into the hands 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: of terrorist known as Hamas that are in full control 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: of Gaza. And yet Joe, your president wants to put 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars in the hands of the Palestinians. 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: But yet we know the Palestinian authority is now likely 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: to pay the people involved in the terror attacks recently 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: on Israel. 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: It's insane. Here's Ted Cruz questioning. 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 3: On October seventh. 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 4: Hamas used swarms of sophisticated drones in their October seventh attack. 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 4: Do you believe the world is safer today because of 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: two three three two two three one and the expiration 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 4: of the arms in Bargo allowing Iran now to sell 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 4: inner ballistic missiles and long range drones. 31 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 5: Senator, I think you would have to agree that the 32 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 5: history of the US engagement on JCPOA has changed substantially 33 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 5: since I sat. 34 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 4: Do you think the world is better and safer with 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 4: the arms of Bargo expose its? 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 6: Senator? If the US was not. 37 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: Yes or no? Are we safer today with no one 38 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 3: arms Inmbargo? 39 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 5: I think it's a much more complicated than that, because 40 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 5: we're not part of JCPOA. Therefore there was no extension 41 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 5: of the arms in Bargo. I would have advocated for 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 5: an extension of the arms embargo, and we might well have. 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 4: And by the way, the Biden administration has been in 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 4: power two and a half years, the arms embargo is 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 4: expiring today. 46 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: And you were pivotal and that happened. 47 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 4: Under ordinary anti terrorism laws, you can't send money whether 48 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 4: there's a high risk it'll be used for terrorism. 49 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: But what did the Biden administration do? 50 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 4: It waved or anti terrorism law because their political agenda 51 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: was so important they were willing to take that high risk. 52 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 4: Was it a mistake to send hundreds of millions of 53 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 4: dollars to Gaza that, in a very real and practical 54 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 4: way funded the death squads and funded the rockets that 55 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 4: are being used to murder Israelis? 56 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 6: Center? I was not in government at the time these 57 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 6: assians were made. 58 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 5: It was I as saying, I'm not familiar with the 59 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 5: back and forth that you're referring to. But my understanding 60 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 5: is the funding that went to Gaza was for things 61 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 5: like the hospital and humanitarians. 62 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: So was Ofak wrong when it concluded there's a high 63 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 4: risk that Hamasca derived benefits Center. 64 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 6: I would have to look at the document to. 65 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: Have hied you were one of a few people that 66 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: has the expertise to do this. 67 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 6: I have high regard for Ophak, I just am not 68 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 6: familiar with the doctor. 69 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: So is the world safer or less safe? 70 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 4: Because hundreds of millions of dollars were sent to Gaza 71 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 4: when it's controlled by a. 72 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 5: Moas Senator Hamasa's activities have proven how evil they are 73 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 5: and how important it is. 74 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: You're not answering that question anyway. 75 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: Joining us now is Senator Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas. 76 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: Senator, welcome back to the program. 77 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 7: Hey, Sean, thanks for having me on. 78 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's get your reaction to how is it 79 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: even possible that somebody that had the mindset of Jack 80 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: lou and facilitated that that really stupid deal, you know, 81 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: enriching the Iranians. Now that that nuclear deal, if you recall, 82 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: there was no American inspections allowed at all and any place, anytime, anywhere, 83 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: inspections did not exist. We already know that the Iranians 84 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: never once complied with any points in that agreement, and 85 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: we know they're still pursuing the nuclear weapons that are 86 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: closer than they've ever been. So how does this make 87 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: any sense? 88 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 8: Sean? 89 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 7: It doesn't make any sense. Joe Biden of the last 90 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 7: three years has just picked up where Barack Obama left off, 91 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 7: trying to appease and conciliate the Ayatolas, which of course 92 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 7: has emboldened them to support the kind of attacks by 93 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 7: their proxy group, the Moss that we saw a couple 94 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 7: of weeks ago. The worst slaughter of Jews is rarer 95 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 7: iiO and one of the worst terror attacks on Americans 96 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 7: in modern times, and Jack Loue was right in the 97 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 7: middle of its. 98 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 9: Sean. 99 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 7: It wasn't just that he supported and implemented and championed 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 7: the nuclear deal with Iran. He went over and above that. Sean. 101 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 7: He testified the Congress in the summer of twenty fifteen 102 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 7: that Iran would not be able to access the US 103 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 7: financial system. Seven months later, in February of twenty sixteen, 104 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 7: he brought his promise and he gave them a license 105 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 7: to convert almost six billion dollars in Omani currency to 106 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 7: US dollars, and then he lied to Congress about that 107 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 7: a couple of years later. So it's much worse than 108 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 7: just advocating for and implementing the nuclear deal, which is 109 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 7: bad enough. It's that he lied to Congress about giving 110 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 7: them sanctions relief over and above the nuclear deal. And 111 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 7: that's to say nothing Sean for his repeated criticisms of 112 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 7: Benjamin Nettanyahu, for instance, for speaking to Congress in twenty fifteen, 113 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 7: or his defense of Barack Obama's refusal to protect Israel 114 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 7: from yet another anti Semitic UN resolution. Now I know 115 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 7: that Democrats say, like, well, we've got to confirm Jacklu 116 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 7: to show our support for Israel. I would turn that around, Sean. 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 7: What we need to do is defeat Jacklu's nomination to 118 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 7: show a new tougher approach to Iran. 119 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 120 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: So, I looked over the Senate report from twenty eighteen 121 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: to found that lud during his tenure as Secretary of 122 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 1: the Treasury, granted the specific license that you just referred 123 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: to that authorized the conversion of Iranian assets worth billions 124 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: of US dollars using the US financial system. That report 125 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: also found the administration tried to convert five point seven 126 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: billion dollars from US banks to Iranian assets. It noted 127 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control encouraged two US 128 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: cor correspondent banks to convert the funds. In January announced 129 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: four hundred million in cash and a transfer to Iran, 130 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: which Lou faced scrutiny for at that time, and The 131 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal reported at the time that the payment 132 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: was conducted using this combination of Swiss and other foreign 133 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: currencies then transported to Iran. And these cargo planes that 134 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: we had talked at the time so much about and 135 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: to me, you know, at that point, if you're not 136 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: going to explain why you did that, and you can't 137 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: answer fundamental questions, you are First of all, your decision 138 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: making shows you're not qualified for this position. Is that 139 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: the number one world sponsor of terror number two? The 140 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: fact that you're trying to hide it, I mean it 141 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: almost sounds like a Biden family, you know, syndicate operation 142 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: with a funneling money here, there, in anywhere, just to 143 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: get money to Iranium Mullows, which, for the life of me, 144 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: Senator I can't understand. 145 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, Sean, you laid out the facts. Well, I just 146 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 7: want to stress the audience those fact they don't come 147 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 7: from Sean Hannity. They don't come from Tom Cotton, they 148 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 7: don't come from our friend Lindsay Graham. They come from 149 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 7: official report of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, led 150 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 7: by Rob Portman, one of the most widely respected senators 151 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 7: in recent times, from twenty eighteen. These are facts, These 152 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 7: are not allegations, These are not opinions, and Jack lou 153 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 7: won't even answer them in testimony. That's why he cannot 154 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 7: be trusted to be our ambassador. The broader policy, as 155 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 7: you say, is also crazy that we would be enriching 156 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 7: one of our worst enemies, giving them hundreds of billions 157 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 7: of dollars in sanctioned relief under the obamaministration, now giving 158 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 7: them almost another one hundred million dollars in relief, whether 159 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 7: it's paying them ransom for six billion dollars or letting 160 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 7: the export oil to China, our worst enemy in the world, 161 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 7: in violation of US sanctions policy. It's little wonder that 162 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 7: the Iatola's feel emboldened to strike at the United States 163 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 7: as we've had more than or at least seven attacks 164 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 7: and Americans in the region in just the last two days, 165 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 7: and then they feel embold in support groups like CAMAS 166 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 7: as they try to kill more Israelis. 167 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: Let's talk about where we are. 168 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: We know the ground incursion is imminent, it is happening, 169 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: it's been green lighted. We also have the additional warrior, 170 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: or certainly Israel does, but any peace loving Americans should 171 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: have it as well. You know, a two front war 172 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: that being from the north. Then we've got this little 173 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: warning from a country called Iran. Yet again that time 174 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: is up, and they themselves are threatening to involve themselves. Now, 175 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: Israel I don't think is going to have a problem 176 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: with his Balla in the north and a Hamas in 177 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: the in the south, and the guys of border. But now, 178 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,359 Speaker 1: if the Iranians directly involved themselves, we know they're providing weaponry, 179 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: we know they're providing military assistance. We know that they 180 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: were involved in the plotting and planning of this worst 181 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: terror attack in Israel's history. If they get if they 182 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: take on further involvement in this, if they take on 183 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: a bigger role in this, if they are actively now 184 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: also at war with Israel, what does that mean, Senator 185 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: well Sean. 186 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 7: First off, it will mean that Joe Biden has once 187 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 7: again failed to terror Iran, a virulent anti American, anti 188 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 7: Israel regime. What he should have done from the moment 189 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 7: this attack happened on October seventh is to make it 190 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 7: crystal queer to Iran and to Hesbalah and to other 191 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 7: Iranians supported terrorist groups that any effort to open a 192 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 7: second front in Israel, any attack on Americans in the 193 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 7: region will be treated by the United States as a 194 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 7: direct attack Byron on the United States. And we met 195 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 7: with massive retali I'm afraid he didn't do that, or 196 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 7: if he did, Iatolas didn't believe him, because again, we've 197 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 7: had at least seven attacks on Americans in the last 198 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 7: forty eight hours in the Middle East. And look what 199 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 7: also happened. One of our navy destroyers in the Red 200 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 7: Sea had to shoot down land attack cruise missiles being 201 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 7: fired from Yemen, presumably to the north Endo Israel. Where 202 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 7: did a bunch of goat herders in Yemen get cruise missiles? Shawn, 203 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 7: These aren't RPGs or a K forty seven is their 204 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 7: cruise missiles? And the answer is they got them from Iran. 205 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 7: And Iran has unleashed all of its proxies to try 206 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 7: to kill Americans and try to kill more Israelis. 207 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Click break more with Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton. As we continue, 208 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: eight hundred ninety four to one, Shawn our number. We'll 209 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: get to your calls at the bottom of a half hours. 210 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: We continue now with Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton is with us? 211 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: Can we play this out a little bit. 212 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: Let's say it's a two front war to start, and 213 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: then we have military involvement bier Iran. How does that 214 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: change the equation to me that that we then run 215 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: the risk of a wider conflict in war that could 216 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: drag in the entire Middle East. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe 217 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: that's maybe that's way over the top of my thinking. 218 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: Correct me if you think I'm wrong. Number two. 219 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: At that point, I think all bets are off in 220 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: terms of what Israel's response and what their options then 221 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: are because their very existence is then hanging in the balance. 222 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: From my perspective, again, tell me if I'm wrong. 223 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 7: I don't think you're wrong in either front Sean On 224 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 7: the first point, the risks of an action here outweigh 225 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 7: the risk of action. Joe Biden and liberals typically only 226 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 7: focus on the risk of action. Well, they shot at 227 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 7: another American base, but they didn't, you know, kill any American. 228 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 7: They just wounded some We should turn the other cheek. 229 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 7: Or they're demanding more sections relief and they're saying they're 230 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 7: going to kill Americans if we don't give it to them. 231 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 7: They always obsessed about the risks of action. But as 232 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 7: we see time and again throughout the annals of history, 233 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 7: just look at War One and World War Two, the 234 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 7: risk of inaction is often greater and is likely to 235 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 7: provoke more attacks on America, more attacks on Israel. So 236 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 7: I think President Biden has to be clear that we 237 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 7: are prepared act or if Iran strikes at Israel or 238 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 7: strikes at more Americans, and if it is a wider 239 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 7: war with Ron and Hesbela, then yes, I'm confident that 240 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 7: Israel would do what is necessary to ensure the survival 241 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 7: of the Jewish nation. 242 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: That's a frightening scenario, Senator, because it's not being said, 243 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: but we know what's on the table. 244 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 7: If Benjamin Etnahu and Benny Gant and you have Glantz 245 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 7: and their war cabinets are convinced that the Jewish nation 246 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 7: survival is at state, I am confident they will take 247 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 7: all necessary steps to ensure its survival. 248 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Let me ask the harder question, and I know America's 249 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: appetite towards being engaged in foreign entanglements is not very 250 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: strong right now. I'm frank for good reason because what 251 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: happens almost every time, and is that you know, everyone's 252 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: all gung ho, oh okay, we're gonna get involved in 253 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: this conflict or whatever, and they get involved. Then all 254 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden, over time, the war becomes politicized, and 255 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: then it gets criticized, and then people there, you know, 256 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: they begin to get soft in their support, and then 257 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: they say, oh, never mind, and then they want to 258 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: pull out. In the case of Biden and Afghanistan, that 259 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: pullout was a disaster. And I fear that any any 260 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: military action that is not swift and quick, you know, 261 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: we risk losing public support for it. 262 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 2: What should America's. 263 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 7: Role be, well, Sean, I think you make some good 264 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 7: points about how hesitant, cautious half measures often do end 265 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 7: up failing, not just on the battlefield, but they quickly 266 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 7: lose political support. And if you're involved in big issues, 267 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 7: you should never go with little measures. I would remind 268 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 7: listeners strengthen of what ron O Reagan did in nineteen 269 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 7: eighty eight, after he had warned Iran not to put 270 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 7: mines in the Persian Gulf, and they did, and it 271 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 7: struck one of our navy vessels. Within a few days, 272 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 7: he launched at tax that sank half of Iran's navy, 273 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 7: and guess what, they stopped mining the Persian Gulf. So 274 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 7: there are many many shades of action from nothing at all, 275 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 7: which is what Joe Biden specializes in. To invading a 276 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 7: country and toppling its government and occupying it for years. 277 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 7: And as you see with Reagan, not just in the 278 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 7: tank war, but in bombing Libya after the West Berlin 279 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 7: bombing of our American troops. There are actions that you 280 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 7: can take that are swift and decisive and that will 281 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 7: restore the healthy fear that Iran should have of the 282 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 7: United States. 283 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: We really appreciate your leadership, Senator.

Next, Sean Hannity Show, How are you, Jeff? 323 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: Glad you called, Sir Hi. 324 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 8: Sean first time call, a longtime listener. The point I 325 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 8: really wanted to make is I spent a little free 326 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 8: time ahead of work yesterday calling our congressman from Long Island. 327 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 8: I called all three and including the one in my district, Alalata, Garbarino, 328 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 8: and Despasito, and evidently they voted as a block to 329 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 8: defeat Jordan's bid for speaker because in the past he's 330 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 8: voted again some funding for things that would be in 331 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 8: the had caageous to our area. But the problem I'm 332 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 8: having is there not. 333 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: By the way, let me just tell you what the 334 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: New York delegation has been holding out on all right, 335 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: because let me bring you behind the scenes and into 336 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: the weeds where I've been pretty much throughout the entire process. 337 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: And a lot of it has to do with the 338 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: state and local tax deduction that was taken away with 339 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: the Trump tax bill. Now what that means is these 340 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: New York representatives they're trying to represent, you know, the 341 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: people in this case Long Island, the other places in 342 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: New York. They didn't like that that deduction was taken away. 343 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: But here's how I looked at it at the time. 344 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's tax cut did not help me. It hurt me. 345 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: And the way it hurt me is the state local 346 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: taxes that I had been paying because New York is 347 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: such a highly taxed state, was no longer deductible for me. 348 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: And that, you know, when you're looking at thirteen fifteen percent, 349 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: I mean it is it's a you know, pretty significant 350 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: sum of money for everybody. And so they've been fighting 351 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: for that. In the end, my sources, which have been 352 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: accurate the entire time, I knew exactly what the vote 353 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: result was going to be before it was taken. Today 354 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: they you know, in the end, I'm told they would 355 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: go along if they were the votes that would push 356 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: him over the top. But in the meantime, they're going 357 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: to fight to have this reinstated. 358 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why. 359 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: I think it's unfair, even though I would benefit with 360 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: its reinstatement. 361 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 2: Why should we punish. 362 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: Or why should we reward states that elect these these 363 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: tax and spend politicians and kind of punish because states 364 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: that have zero income tax they don't get this benefit. 365 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: Florida doesn't get it. TENNESSEEA doesn't get it. 366 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: You know, Texas, the Carolinas that have low state income taxes, 367 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: they don't get the benefit like New York does. 368 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: In California does. 369 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: So I think it was actually the right thing to do, 370 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: and frankly, you know, it's unfortunate, and the best way 371 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: out of that is to get the hell out of 372 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: Long Island and the hell out of New York and 373 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 1: then you don't have to worry about it. 374 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 3: One way I could. 375 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 8: I'm in the service industry and I cannot practice in 376 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 8: areas where I'd like to go. 377 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: I totally, I totally understand. I've been in the same 378 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: situation now for a couple of years. 379 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, And the problem I'm having with this is that's 380 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 8: a single issue. I'm in the same situation as you shown, 381 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 8: where yes, the deduction for state and local taxes would 382 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 8: be great, but you know something, it doesn't change my life. 383 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 8: But these other things that are going going on in 384 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 8: this country do change my life. And unless we get 385 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 8: this straightened down, and unless we cut spending, it will 386 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 8: completely change all of our lives. This is insanity. And 387 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 8: to worry about single issues because it may get you 388 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 8: more votes, to me, is pandering and not looking at 389 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 8: the big picture for what needs to be done for 390 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 8: the country to move forward. 391 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: And now I am totally with you. 392 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: I am only giving you this information because I'm giving 393 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: you the straight dope behind the scenes. And what they 394 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: were pushing Jordan for for those votes was to reinstate 395 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: the state local tax deduction for high tax states. I 396 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: think it's unfair to states that elect fiscally responsible politicians. 397 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: It's unfair to them they're not getting that benefit. 398 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 8: But again, I think we with their jobs. Yes, for 399 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 8: our constituency, yes, absolutely, But what's more important is they 400 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 8: have to look at the big picture to their constituents 401 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 8: and what's going on in the country and how. 402 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: There's another alternative. They could be pushing their fellow politicians 403 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: in New York to significantly dramatically cut taxes, and I 404 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: don't see that any of these local congressmen doing such. 405 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: And I'm not being critical of them. 406 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: I understand why they're doing what they're doing, but I'm 407 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's unfortunate, you know. With all that said, 408 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: and and there's no doubt it's gotten to the point 409 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: that I predicted on day one and we'd get to. 410 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: And that is people are now frustrated and they're annoyed 411 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: and they want the people's House back open. These are 412 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: consequential times we're living in. Uh you know, now the 413 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: ground war is imminent with with Israel and Hamas and 414 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: and Israel and and even his Blopa perhaps in the North. 415 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: And then we got war in Europe that is that 416 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: is you know, continuing. Then we've got wide open borders. 417 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: Then we've got budgetary issues that have deadlines that are 418 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: fast approaching, and they need to open the house. The 419 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: two options that are just completely unacceptable for me. One 420 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: is a band aid solution, a temporary solution to offer 421 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: some additional powers to the speaker pro tem because that 422 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: tells me they're not doing their job. Their job is 423 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: to select a speaker. They're in the majority, so act 424 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: like you're in the majority. And look, I can tell 425 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: you that there's a bunch of petulant, little snowflake children 426 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: that are fighting, you know, way different battles, and their 427 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: main battle should be check your ego at the door 428 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: and do what's right for the people that put you 429 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: in office and understand that not everybody's going to get 430 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: their way now Okay, would I would have liked Jim 431 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: Jordan to be speaker. I understand how the game is played. 432 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: Now it's probably time to move on to the next candidate. 433 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: A lot of names are being floated. Byron Donald's name 434 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: is probably the name I hear the most. 435 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 8: Who we love Byron Donald's, and we would be very 436 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 8: happy for that. But we need a candidate to come 437 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 8: forth that they will all take care of and vote 438 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 8: for because the country is depending on it. And you know, 439 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 8: we can't just stop here. We need to call out 440 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 8: some of the Republicans who are standing in the way 441 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 8: of this. Evidently, there was an article on Drudge Report 442 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 8: today that I haven't been able to find about some 443 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 8: of the money issues why some of these people are 444 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 8: holding out, and maybe lobbying problems, why some of these 445 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 8: people are holding on. Maybe at some point, if you 446 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 8: could look into that and make a comment on that 447 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 8: at some point later on in the show or within 448 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 8: the next few days, I would love to hear. 449 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: Remember remember this last bit, and I've got to move on. 450 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: We have a lot of other callers. Remember this last 451 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: piece of information. What did I say from the beginning, 452 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: They're either going to succeed together or they will together. Now, 453 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: if they resolved this problem, say very early next week, 454 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: and I would like them not to take off this weekend. 455 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: I think they need to stay in town and do 456 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: their job. And I would, as I said, I'd recommend 457 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: they get behind closed doors, check their egos, check their phones, 458 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: and not leave that room till they reach a consensus 459 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: on who the next speaker is going to be. That 460 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: would be my approach to the things. Nobody ever listens 461 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: to me, and so if they, if they did, I 462 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: think the American people would say, all right, at least 463 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: they're working and they're sacrificing. They've been going home every weekend. 464 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's unacceptable to me. You know, if I'm 465 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of a job, you don't leave the 466 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: job site. I used to be a contractor. 467 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: I didn't. I worked every weekend, and I worked until 468 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: the job was done. 469 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: If I had access to a home or an office 470 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: or a building that I was working on, I was there, 471 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, morning, noon, and night till the. 472 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 2: Job was done. 473 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: That's just just that, that's what it takes to get 474 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: the job complete. I'm not like, Okay, I'm gonna have 475 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: work eight hours get one hour off lunch. Uh and 476 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: then you know, put down my equipment and go home. 477 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: I don't understand that mindset. I wasn't growing I didn't 478 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: grow up with that mindset. So we'll see what happens. 479 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: I think it could be long forgotten, but it's getting 480 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: it's getting to the point where they're now damaging themselves. 481 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: They're actually past that point. The other thing they can't 482 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: do is make a deal with the Democrats. Appreciate the call. 483 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, Jeff eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn 484 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: is on number if you want to be a part 485 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: of the program. Don in Kansas. Don, you're on the 486 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Hi, how you do with Sean as 487 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 1: good as I guess I can with you know, the 488 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: world kind of imploding around us. I'm not loving that part. 489 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 7: No, they you heard from Matt gas Lay. 490 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: No, I actually have because I frankly, he's a person 491 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: that can cause an awful lot of troubles. So I 492 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: try to find out what's in his head. And you 493 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: know I did. I was against this any one member 494 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: motion to vacate provision. If you remember, you recall Linda, 495 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, didn't I didn't I want 496 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: a threshold of twenty or twenty five or thirty. 497 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: I believe I stated that at the time. Correct, you 498 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: did from the go okay. 499 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: Because I knew that one petty difference, you know, if 500 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: it gets personal between any two people, that everything comes 501 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: to a screeching halt. I thought it was a bad ideal. 502 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: I did express that to Matt. I'm not going to 503 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: sit here and point fingers. I know that he and 504 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: the other seven people that were involved in this, that 505 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: partnered with the Democrats to get rid of Kevin McCarthy, 506 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, then now saying that all of them are 507 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: willing to and they have offered to leave the Republican conference. 508 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: And you know, one. 509 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: Of the Republicans, Bob Good, is predicting if we keep voting, 510 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan will be elected speaker. I'm not sure that's 511 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: going to happen. He's lost votes twice in a row now. 512 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: And but unlike you know, these phony reports, I have 513 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: not been out there whipping votes for the Republicans. I 514 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: talked to basically four sources for informed sources, and you know, 515 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: all of them had supported Jim Jordan in the beginning. 516 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: I haven't talked to every one of them today. So 517 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: they've got to come up with a solution. And the 518 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: two ideas being floated, the temporary solution of empowering the 519 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: speaker ProTem not an option for me, Nor is it 520 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: an option to work with Hakeem Jefferys and the Democrats. 521 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 2: They need to elect a speaker, they need to do 522 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 2: their job. Keep it simple. 523 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 7: You can get a hold of Matt Gates. I mean 524 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 7: you call his office and it goes right to voicemail. 525 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 7: It's been doing that for weeks. 526 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: Listen, there are people that are giddy that they did this. 527 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 2: This is and I don't mind sharing our conversation. 528 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 1: I said to him, there's a lot of risk associated 529 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: with this, and I said that, you know, if this 530 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: goes sideways, you're gonna get blamed. And anyway, some are 531 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: happy that he did it, some aren't. To me, I'm 532 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: way past that box.

And I'll tell you why. 588 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 9: Jim Jordan has been one of the most vocal, probably 589 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 9: the most vocal when it comes to a lot of 590 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 9: these committee meetings that I see him on. He's out 591 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 9: there all the time on news, I see it all 592 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 9: the time, and it's been everyone. I mean, I've seen 593 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 9: him all the way back to Fast and Furious, been Ghazi, 594 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 9: I mean lately, the Afghan withdrawal, this impeachment, and not 595 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 9: the frustration that I see a regular guy. Not one 596 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 9: person has been held accountable for any of that, and 597 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 9: he's been leading the charge from what I can tell, 598 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 9: and I can tell you that I'm not completely educated 599 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 9: on how the government works, but what I see here 600 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 9: is that nothing happens when even and when they're as 601 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 9: vocal as they can get, nothing's happened. And I need 602 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 9: I think we need new blood in there.
