WEBVTT - Pope, Pressure, and Persia 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:01.279 Thanks to all of you for being one of those 0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:04.800 right down hour toll free telephone number. If you want 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.040 to be a part of the program, it is eight 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:09.360 hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want to 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.840 join us. We're going to spend some time on the 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:19.320 situation in Iran. Iranian insiders now fear that the economic destruction. 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.439 I'm calling it a preview of coming attractions if the 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:26.320 Iranians don't sign on to the deal and it's getting 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.920 you know, this is their time of choosing. And I 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.800 think the President is showing great restraint because the President 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.199 is giving him giving them the preview of coming attractions. 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:41.040 They will have no economy if the President blows up 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.880 their oil infrastructure. And right now with the blockade, which 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.960 is tremendously effective, even China turning around a big tanker 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:54.720 that they had filled up yesterday, everybody now abiding by 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.360 the blockade. And now the blockade has even expanded out. 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.800 They've expanded beyond the street or horror mood horror moods, 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.959 and they now it's now encompassing the entire Iranian coast. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:12.800 And Ranian insiders feared the economic destruction being caused by 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:17.040 the US Israeli bombing and the blockade could now topple 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.960 the entire regime. As many as twelve million jobs, nearly 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.440 half of Iran's workforce are now at risk of being 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.400 furloughed or laid off. What does that mean when people 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.839 don't have a paycheck coming in and then the food 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.440 supply starts to run short. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:35.480 What at that point? 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.480 What are people going to have to lose nothing? And 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.760 this is where the president's showing restraint. He does not 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:47.040 want to destroy life for the Iranian people, the Persian culture, 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:53.520 the Persian people. They have an amazing, inspiring history, really amazing, 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:59.080 and that can be recaptured and that is the hope 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.480 that will happen here. This can be over very very 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.360 quickly for those of you that are impatient. But the President, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.280 I think very wisely, is trying to give this fourth, 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.600 fifth tier level of leadership because everyone else has been 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:17.080 wiped out, an opportunity to feel the pain of what's 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.760 coming and what will then be permanent. And there's no 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:26.120 way the US is leaving the sixty percent enriched uranium. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.320 It's not going to happen, and we'll see how this unfolds. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:30.840 But before we do that, I want to get to 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:36.200 this issue. I'm getting really annoyed Linda at the Catholic Church, 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.240 and I want to backtrack a second. I went to 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.000 Catholic schools. I said this the last two days on 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.960 this program. I want to remind people if you're just 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.000 listening and you didn't hear it. I went for twelve years. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.079 I was raised Catholic and I went to Mass every Sunday, 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.280 and my mom and dad were both pretty devout people 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.320 in their life, and I admired their faith. It gave 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.040 me a great foundation for my life. I'm grateful to 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.800 the church because what happened is being immersed in it 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.480 throughout my life. You know, even though I probably was 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.120 not paying attention to ninety percent of the time or 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.440 really that interested in it at that point in my life, 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:23.040 it got through and it definitely awakened my conscience. I 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.240 know right from wrong. I know what I'm right, I 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.600 know what I'm wrong, and it's been nothing but a 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.959 positive in my life and so many respects. However, you 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.600 know the reason that I say I'm a non denominational 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:40.320 Christian is I really am am pretty I just can't 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:45.000 reconcile with the fact that they never dealt with institutionalized 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:50.000 corruption and the one position, because if you've ever been 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.720 to a Mass, the Holy Eucharist comes directly from Jesus 0:03:53.840 --> 0:04:00.120 Christ himself, and I think it's a beautiful service. And 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.760 unfortunately the church made a terrible decision. You know, eleven 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.160 of the twelve Apostles were married. For the first twelve 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.080 hundred years of the church, priests were allowed to marry. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.480 Then they came up, and I think it was all 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.039 for financial reasons and fear that divorce may cost the 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.280 church a lot of money. If priests got married, they 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.960 got divorced, it would cost the church a lot of money. 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:24.160 I think. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.400 So there were many, many financial considerations, not exactly the 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.480 best reason in my view. But if Jesus wanted people 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.080 not to be married, why did he pick eleven of 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.679 the twelve apostles that were married? And it didn't make sense. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.080 Then now somebody's going to call in some smarty alec 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.680 and say, well, Hannity, he didn't pick any women to 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.920 be part of his apostles, No, but women played a 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.720 very very important role, starting with his own mother and 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.359 Mary Magdalene and many other women that followed Jesus and 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.200 served him. But that's a different that's a different discussion 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.240 for a different day. So well, the Pope keeps upping 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.720 the ante. I think he's enjoying the attention. And what's 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.320 frustrating to me, And it's hard to say, because I'd 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:11.880 rather not criticize the church. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:12.800 I'd rather. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.080 I wish they would fix their institutional corruption. You know, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.479 this child's abuse scandal was real, and the parishes knew 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.120 about it, and the bishops knew about it. The cardinals 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.560 knew about it, and they systemically covered a lot of 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.000 it up. Rome knew about it, and nobody ever dealt 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:40.360 with it head on, owned it and compensated victims of corruption, 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.080 and horrible things were done to people that were victims. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.960 It was terrible, and to this day I don't feel 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.479 that they adequately have addressed what had happened during the 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.720 scandal and then putting that aside. Then you have all 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.960 these different popes, and many of them have radical left 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:01.560 political points of view. I was very frustrated with Pope Francis, 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.800 less frustrated with Pope Benedict. The best pope in my 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.080 lifetime was Pope John Paul the Second. As far as 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.360 I'm concerned. Now we've got Pope Leo the fourteenth who 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.200 keeps amplifying his condemnation of the president and the US 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:23.360 Israeli war with Iran, saying God does not bless any conflict, 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.880 That's what he's saying. And he certainly doesn't side with 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.880 those who drop bombs, that's what he said. The only 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.560 problem is, and I would think that the Pope would 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:39.000 be well versed in the Bible, both the Old and 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.800 New Testament, because contrary to the Pope's statement condemning this 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:48.200 conflict with Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.120 that has been moomenting terror around the world and in 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.640 the region, going on for forty seven straight years and 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.800 killing how many tens and tens of thousands of innocent people. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.120 If you look at the Bible, it contains over four 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:08.600 hundred references to war for over four hundred, you know, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.440 depicting God, even in the Old Testament, is authorizing, commanding, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.239 intervening in battles for Israel. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.600 And I mentioned David and Goliath. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.800 That's maybe the one example that everybody knows about. Are 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:27.440 King Saul or you know, the Walls of Jericho and 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.600 all these other instances. I can go on and on 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.720 and on. So it is frustrating to me. And then 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.320 I look at the Pope. You know, forty five thousand 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:41.400 protesters that's estimated, was slaughtered in Iran by this evil regime, 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:47.040 and he's not condemned the mass killings of these Iranians. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:52.000 Why not Iran's attempt to build the nuclear weapon as 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:58.080 they believe in this ridiculousness of strapping bombs on innocent men, women, 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.840 young men, and young especially young men, and telling them 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.640 to go killing men, women and children, and a promise 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.720 of a reward in heaven of seventy two virgins. Why 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:14.000 won't he address that controversial issue? Is he afraid? He 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.360 doesn't want to comment, he's not aware of it. You know, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.680 you just get a vague, longstanding position against all countries 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.640 developing nukes that that is not the issue at hand. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.640 Are they are steadfast in their commitment to getting a 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:34.560 nuclear weapon coupled with their radical ideology it is a 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.320 death cult? And not a peep out of the Pope 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.760 about the death cult and about the mulls in Iran. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.920 You're not a peep out of the Pope. After residential 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.800 neighborhoods in this conflict have been hit densely populated areas. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.520 Tel Aviv has been targeted heavily in this conflict. You know, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.040 you just get vague statements against all war. Why hasn't 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.679 he spoken out against the Uranian regime? Why is any 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.679 fighting with them? Or's bombing of holy sites in Jerusalem? 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:03.320 Not a peep. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.760 Or a RAN's oppression and rape and murder of innocent women, 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.280 especially if they don't dress a certain way. Or a 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.320 RAN's execution of people that are gay and lesbian. Not 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.560 a peep out of the Pope Iran's involvement in killing 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.600 American troops in Iraq and bey Root. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:20.480 Not a peep. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:27.800 First, American Pope Iran's funding of terrorism, the terror proxies 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.160 that they fund and they are. I did condemn the 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:36.240 October seventh attack, you know, and condemned terrorism, but he 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.160 never specifically mentioned Iran. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.000 He only wants to go after Donald Trump now. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.200 He also recently met with David Axelrod and far left 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.320 Illinois Governor JB. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:46.800 Pritzgro. 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.400 I'm sure he talked all about abortion, which the Church 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:51.960 takes a very strong stance on. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:52.960 I doubt it. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.440 And if you go to his old Twitter account, he 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.640 retweeted a message asking if Donald Trump can see the 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:04.880 stuff cause by wrongfully deporting migrants. So he's a radical leftist, 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:10.559 He's a radical democrat. It's obvious, you know. He retweeted 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.160 a post referring to Trump's immigration policies as nothing remotely 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:20.120 Christian really, you know, and retweeted a post criticizing Trump's 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:25.840 bad ombres line as fueling racism and nativism. You know, 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.040 and they wonder why the church has seen in decline 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.920 of people, And I can go through common and verse. 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.920 I'm just sick and tired of it. Iran just sentenced 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:40.240 four protesters to death, including a woman. Where's Pope Leo 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.440 speaking out in defense of that woman and preventing this 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.719 woman from getting murdered because she dared to oppose the crackdown? 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.240 Tom Homan fired back at the Pope, explaining what Vatican 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.120 leaders don't know about immigration? Pope Leo's warning the tyrants 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:02.120 or ravaging the world. Oh question for the Pope, will 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.319 this world that you seem to care so much about 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.520 commenting on be better off with or without a nuclear 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.360 armed Iran? And when will you speak out against radical 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.199 Islamic terrorism? And when will you speak out? Was it 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.840 a good thing? Because you're the one that commented that 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.680 God doesn't bless any conflict. Is it a good or 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:29.000 a bad thing that Donald Trump wiped out the Isis Caliphate? 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:34.920 Have you ever seen Isis soldiers beheading people on a 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.840 beach the way I have? And do you have any 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.960 comment about that? The converter Dye Philosophy haven't heard the 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.480 Pope comment on that at all either. Haven't heard a 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.440 peep out of the Pope on that, you know dispatch 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.400 from inside the Vatican bubble during a remarkable exchange between 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.360 you know, the Pope and the present. Why won't where 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:03.240 is this pope's moral cla That's what I'm asking? Well, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.280 at what point was it okay for David to kill 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:11.720 Goliath and for God himself to mention war? Did God 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:17.280 do a horrible thing when he parted the Red Sea 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:23.200 and then drown the Pharaoh's soldiers so the Israelis can 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.640 make it to the other side to the Promised Land? 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.040 Was that a bad thing? Are you going to now 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.959 judge God and question God? In the four hundred references? 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.680 I mean they're very specific. I mean I went there. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.640 I could spend the next two hours of this program 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.160 and give you a chapter and verse on it. I 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.320 won't bore you with that, but I could four hundred 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:47.000 references to war in the Bible, God authorizing, commanding, intervening 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:52.280 in battles for Israel, which by the way, directly contradicts 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.559 what the Pope said. God does not bless any conflict. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.120 I'm not trying to pick on the Catholic Church here, 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.760 but this is a fight that he's picking. And if 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:05.440 he's going to have this selective moral outrage that he's 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:12.320 feigning and seemingly enjoying this public fight with Donald Trump, 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.400 I think it's time that he starts to get questioned. 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.040 Donald Trump takes questions all the time. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.720 Nobody gets to answer ask the Pope a single thing, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.960 and I think it's time, and I would like to 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.760 offer myself as the person to go interview the Pope. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.800 I think I'm uniquely qualified. I studied Latin theology, went 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.280 to Catholic Church for twelve years. I'd love to interview 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.360 the Pope and I would ask him these tough questions 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.600 and why doesn't he why is he only speaking out 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.079 in this instance, and maybe he can explain God's references 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.320 to war in the Bible and why he says that 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.560 God doesn't bless any conflict because that contradicts exactly what's 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.600 said in the Bible. Or talk about the history of 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.080 the Church and corruption and why the Church has never 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.880 dealt with its corruption. Now it may sound a little harsh, 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.080 but I was raised Catholic, care about the church. I 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.120 got a lot out of the church. I get a 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.840 lot out of the Mass, because that's that is the Mass, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:11.400 the last Supper with Jesus and his apostles, when he 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.360 told them exactly what would be happening and then ordered them, 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.800 you know, to love one another as I have loved you. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.640 Church is beauty, could be beautiful. The Mass is beautiful. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:27.240 It's just sad that unfortunately, like a lot of big institutions, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:43.880 a lot of corruption takes over. I know that I 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.240 got that out of the way. I have a lot 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.920 of people pissed off. This is not one thing I 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.080 said that's not true. That is really frustrating to me. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.200 You know that the Pope wants to keep this battle 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.840 with Donald Trump going, and then you look at his 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.360 former Twitter feed. He was he was a radical leftist. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.840 He's met with JB. Pritzker, and that's axel Rod. It's ridiculous. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.320 The overwhelming majority of the Senate Democrats voted to block 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:07.840 US arm sales to Israel. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.920 That is your new Democratic Party. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:38.320 Next, didn't the I R S scandal and the NSA 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:43.160 atrocities convince you you need a watchdog on Washington with 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.800 insiders sources. You need Hannity every day. 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:53.000 So what's going on in Washington today? Oh? Let me see. 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.720 Overwhelming majority of Senate Democrats just voted to block US 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:01.080 arm cells to Israel. This is the rise of anti 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:06.320 Semitism in the halls of Congress, especially the Democratic Party 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:11.880 college campuses. Notice those same you know college kids that 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.400 are out there road testing. You know, Israel loses the 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.640 equivalent of forty thousand Americans in a day on October seventh. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.280 When you extrapolate their population compared to ours, what do 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.480 you expect? What would you want America to do if 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.840 we lost forty thousand Americans in a day and we 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.480 knew who did it, What would you want us to do? 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:32.640 Would you want us to fight back? 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:33.440 Or no? 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.760 I would say obliterate You know the country, the people 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.440 responsible for this happening and those that aid in a 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:45.400 bet them or elect them anyway. They voted a block 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:50.040 arm sales to Israel a reflection of where the Democratic 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.400 Party is today. I mean, this is a party they 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.960 didn't They don't want to fund the Department of Homeland Security. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.800 They didn't want to fund the police. They want to defund, dismantled, 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:03.600 no bail reimagine police departments. They want open borders. They 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:08.720 created the most preventable national security disaster in history. Now 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.880 they have sanctuary cities and states. They take taxpayer dollars 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.320 to provide benefits that people that don't respect are laws, borders, 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.200 and sovereignty. Then they want to give them, you know, 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.440 they want to reward illegal activity with citizenship and free benefits. 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:25.440 It's insane. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:31.119 Rember Kamala wanted taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals, 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:36.280 and Tim Wallas wanted taxpayer funded college for illegal immigrants. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:40.879 It's madness. We can't afford it. Democratic votes on a 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.880 pair of resolutions from Bernie Sanders not enough to overcome 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:48.720 universal opposition from Republicans. The votes represent a watershed moment 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.879 in the party's relationship with Israel, and some of the 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.720 most notable names to vote in favor of blocking military 0:17:55.760 --> 0:18:00.800 transfers to Israel. Let's see Cory Booker, a Senate both 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:05.560 Arizona senators among the Democrats to vote for both resolutions. 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:10.879 Did you pick up Linda Anna Paula Luna yesterday said 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:15.240 that there's somebody from Arizona and the US Senate only 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.200 two people from Arizona that are in the United States Senate. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.160 One of them, he's predicting going to have a major 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.760 I don't know if it's quite swallwell like, but it's 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.120 going to have a major problem surviving. 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.080 That's what it sounded like to me. Is that what 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:30.480 you heard? 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.960 Yeah, I think Annapolina Luna has definitely been standing firm 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:39.400 on if you are consorting with people that are work 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.159 in your office, then you're going to have a problem. 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.160 Where's your office? If you have a home aufice, I have. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.639 A home office. I have a work office. You know 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:54.680 my office is. It's lovely and I do not canodle 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:55.600 left with the stand. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.959 But you left U York. You don't live in New 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.679 York anymore, right, Amen? And when people ask you what 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.879 you do for a living and you tell them you've working. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:05.560 I'm a garden radio. I like gardening. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:07.800 I don't want to admit it. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:14.359 Iranian insiders rightly fearing the economic destruction caused by the 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.000 US and Israel bombing. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.639 This blockade is crushing them. Now. 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.879 That's why I am more optimistic than ever. And there 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.639 are people pushing for an extension give them more time. 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.160 I'm not on that list of given more time. I'm 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:32.640 sick of giving them time. US military expanding the president 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.920 straight o Hormuz blockade. The blockade now encompasses the entirety 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.920 of the Iranian coast. US military forces now widening their 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:46.760 shipping blockade on a Ran to include cargoes deemed contraband 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.920 any vessels suspected of trying to reach Iranian territory will 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:55.160 be subject to belligerent right to visit and search. US 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.840 Navy said, these vessels regardless of location or subject to visit, boards, 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:00.840 urch and seizure. 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.040 That's moving along just perfectly. 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.320 Here's the interesting part too, because the President, you know, 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:08.920 put out these tweets yesterday. If we didn't fully understand 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:12.800 the context of it all, but the President said yesterday 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.719 that China agreed not to send weapons to Iran, and 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.280 then he predicted, by the way, you know, I'm scheduled 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.560 to go to China with the President on air force 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.000 one and you are aware of that one? 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:22.520 They're correct? 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.240 Or no, I was not aware of it. Should I 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.240 hit the breaking new sounder? Nobody told me? 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:28.840 Well, I just told you, because I just uh. 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:31.760 Thirty million other people. 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.560 I figure that this is like the only chance of 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.600 my life that I'll ever get to go to China. 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.119 I don't think China likes me. I don't think I 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:42.720 want them to particularly like me. 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.239 Well, you know, Trump keeps telling us how much you 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:46.840 likes him, so I'm sure he's gonna. 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:47.960 Like you well. 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:52.000 In Helsinki and Vietnam and Singapore and all these other 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:53.600 trips that I've been on. Even when I go to 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:58.119 Israel and I've been to Iraq and all these other places, 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.560 it always becomes challenging because you can't use your phone. 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.720 If you even turn your phone on for one second, 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:13.399 these very sophisticated spy agencies will download the content of 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.200 your phone. Can you believe that I got a call 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.680 from the FBI. Your phone has been hacked by the Iranians? 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.680 And what does that mean? There's nothing on there that 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.879 I really give a rip about. I'm not Eric Swaalwall, 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:26.640 I'm not mister Feng Feang, but. 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.120 Just tell the Mother Jones already tried. It didn't work. 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:30.280 We're fine, move along. 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:32.840 What did Mother Jones try? 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.119 They printed all fifty seven pages that came out when 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.280 they did that whole thing where they were releasing people's 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.960 text messages. Remember that's when they were like, oh my god, 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:42.320 he believes everything he says. 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.639 Yeah, but that happened to me. That was the first time. 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.600 Then there was the second and third time. Then there 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:53.280 was the January sixth committee. I don't have privacy, it 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:54.160 doesn't exist. 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:56.280 It's over. I got. I got. 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:00.360 Well, really, they went to my lawyer and told that 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:04.760 the Chinese, the Iranians, the Russians have all hacked into 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:08.280 my phone at different times. That's very that's that's a 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.639 little weird. It is not a normal life, definitely. And 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.000 then if you ask them what you're supposed to do 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:16.480 and they give you a list of things I do, 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:18.200 I don't think any of it works, to be honest, 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.200 I think if anyone wants it. But anyway, the interesting 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.960 thing is China is very happy, and I'm permanently opening 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:28.119 the Straight of Horn Moose. Now, a sanctioned Chinese oil 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:33.360 tanker crossed the Straight of Horn moves uh, and they 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:38.879 were had to return back to Iran after the blockade, 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:44.760 you know, stop them from moving forward. The boarded voyage 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:50.800 of this of this Chinese owned tanker blacklisted by the 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:53.320 US and twenty twenty three shows how the US Navy 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:57.200 successfully blocked the flow of ships carrying Iranian oil. It 0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.320 is now you got China on our side because they 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.080 want this crap to stop, and. 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:03.680 I don't blame them. 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:06.000 It's kind of sad. Maybe the Pope can weigh in 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:10.359 on this. Iran's barbaric regime is now set to execute 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:14.879 their first female protester over these recent protests, one of 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:19.000 the estimated sixteen hundred that are now sentenced to death 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:23.640 the latest killings. Pete Haik Saith warning Iranian leaders choose wisely. 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.879 I would tell them that you should probably listen to 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:30.000 the president, that is my advice. But didn't I tell 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.560 the leaders of Iran? Remember there were reports they had 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:35.720 their planes on the run on the tarmac and they 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.480 were ready to head to Russia and they were probably 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.000 going to pillage the country and they were going to 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.400 take off with tons of money. That's the way all 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:45.199 these people do when they when they seek asylum and 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.800 I'm like, here, here's my advice. And I said it 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.720 on radio and I said it on TV. If I 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.560 was you, I would get on that plane as soon 0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:59.400 as possible. Don't don't pass go, don't collect two hundred, 0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:02.280 take your money with you. You can get out safely. 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:02.640 Now. 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.239 If you wait, you're probably going to be dead. And 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:10.000 when Operation Epic Fury happened, what happened, Linda? They missed 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.960
