Thank you, gentlemen, we appreciate it. Well, I 36 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: want to get first to you. I'm sorry, go ahead, Brian, No, 37 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get right to We have so much. 38 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 4: We can do. 39 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, we have so much 40 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: going on this morning. 41 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 6: But you know we're. 42 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Talking about these this oil deal, what we're looking at 43 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: in Venezuela, and I want to first right away get 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: to this truth social post that the President put up 45 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: last night saying I am pleased to announce that the 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: interim authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between thirty 47 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: and fifty million barrels of high quality, sanctioned oil to 48 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: the United States of America. This oil will be sold 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: at its market price, and that money will be controlled 50 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: by me as President of the United States of America, 51 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: to ensure it is used to benefit the people of 52 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: Venezuela and the United States. I have asked Energy Secretary 53 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: Chris Right to execute this plan immediately. It will be 54 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: taken by storage ships and brought directly to unloading docks 55 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: in the United States. And of course, thank you for 56 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: your attention to this matter. Okay, Brian, it looks like 57 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: Trump is going to possibly meet with oil execs on Friday. 58 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: He is not messing around, and it looks like this 59 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: is the art of the deal. 60 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: What do you say, Well, it is the art of 61 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 4: the deal. 62 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 7: But let's see if this deal benefits Americans directly. And 63 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 7: I would think that it would in a certain extent 64 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 7: add oil to the inventories in our supply chain, perhaps 65 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 7: lowering the price of oil. But the sanctions at the 66 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 7: US previous administrations have put on Venezuela has really driven 67 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 7: down the investments and the infrastructure in Venezuela to produce 68 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 7: those oils. There several companies rather that have simply almost 69 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 7: gone out of business or file for bankruptcy. So perhaps 70 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 7: this will re energize those certain industries and those certain 71 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 7: companies to now get this oil out of Venezuela into 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 7: US custody, if you will. We'll see exactly what that 73 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 7: looks like at the end of the day to the consumer, 74 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 7: because I think that's what people are most interested in, Alison, 75 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 7: what does this mean to the consumer? Now, this does 76 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 7: mean that the US oil companies will will perhaps get richer. 77 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 7: It're gonna have more oil, more refineries in Venezuela. But 78 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 7: at the end of the day, when you pull up 79 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 7: your Chevy Suburban to that oil, to that gas station 80 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 7: and you pump that ninety three octane gas, what is 81 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 7: that costing you? 82 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: We'll find out. 83 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: Well, if we're looking at gas at you know, going 84 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: somewhere like two fifty or two dollars, I think that 85 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: people are. 86 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 6: Going to be pretty happy. 87 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: And it kind of the way that I kind of 88 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: look at it is that in Venezuela, what they had 89 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: was all this rickety infrastructure, like an old house, for example, 90 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and we're going to go in fix up the house 91 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: and help it pump the oil, have it benefit Venezuela, 92 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: and have it benefit people in the United States, and 93 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: also protect us from China and Russia. 94 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 6: That's the way I look at it. 95 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's a great way to look at it. 96 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 7: I just get sometimes confused when they talk about that 97 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 7: we're going to back to get our oil when that 98 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 7: oil is in the ground of Venezuela. I don't know 99 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 7: how that is technically our oil if it resides in 100 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 7: another country. But I do support us kind of adding 101 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 7: a lot of value to the oil industry there in Venezuela, 102 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 7: and of course helping the Venezuelans that need it and 103 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 7: adding revenue for them as well. 104 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, fair enough. 105 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: Well, another story overnight. It is actually the wildfire anniversary 106 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: of the fires out in California, and several events are 107 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: scheduled to commemorate the one year anniversary of the start 108 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: of those wildfires that devastated Altadena, Pacific Palisades and the 109 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: other communities in January of twenty twenty five. 110 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 6: I cannot believe that there. 111 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: Has not been any real movement on the ground to 112 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: help these people. 113 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 6: Brind your thoughts. 114 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 7: Well, I've asked President Trump that several times in the 115 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 7: Oval Office about the rebuilding of California Pacific Palisates fire 116 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 7: and the fraud that was involved in fire eight. If 117 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 7: you remember that benefit concert, less than four percent of 118 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 7: the structures have been rebuilt. You've got hundreds, if not 119 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 7: thousands of structures completely burned without even getting a permit 120 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 7: to rebuild them. Yet, this is a story that will 121 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 7: continue to develop, and as we fast forward to twenty 122 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 7: twenty eight, perhaps Gavin Newsom becoming the Democrat nominee for 123 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 7: his party, people are going to look back and say, well, 124 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 7: what exactly happened on your watch in the Palisaates fire, 125 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 7: and how did you handle it? How do people rebuild? 126 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,799 Speaker 7: But my thoughts and prayers still go out to those people. 127 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 7: My son lives not too far away from that. He 128 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 7: was affected that day. Thank God his structure wasn't burned, 129 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 7: But certainly California's still trying to rebuild. 130 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Alison, And speaking of prayers we begin this morning, we 131 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: want to begin with God's word in memory of the victims. 132 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 6: Of last year's wildfires. 133 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: This verse is Psalm one six one to praise the Lord, 134 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: oh my soul, While I live. 135 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 6: I will praise the Lord. I will sing praises to 136 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 6: my God while I have my being well. 137 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: Turning now from the Good Book to a prophetic message 138 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: by the President. Trump met with House Republicans yesterday and 139 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: issued a dire prediction if the GOP loses the midterm election. 140 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: You got to win the midterms, because if we don't 141 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: win the midterms, it's just going to be I mean, 142 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get im pitched. 143 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: Joining us now with reaction, Congressman Jimmy Petronas of Florida. 144 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 6: Welcome, Congressman, good morning, thanks for being here. 145 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 8: Thank you for having me. 146 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 6: Oh our pleasure. 147 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: Okay, your thoughts on the President's prediction about the midterms. 148 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 8: Look, the President was a rare form yesterday. He gave 149 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 8: us a lot of insight on what has taken place 150 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 8: in his head, where our country is going, how we 151 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 8: can win the midterms as we need to be focused. 152 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 8: We've got to look at what we've accomplished, the one big, 153 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 8: beautiful building. We've got to do a better job of 154 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 8: messaging the savings and the money that will be restored 155 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 8: back to our United States taxpayers. They sent us up 156 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 8: here to put money back in their pockets, not to 157 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 8: spend their money. And whether it be no tax on tips, 158 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 8: no tax on overtime, no tax on security, so security. 159 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 8: These were things that have never been done before, and 160 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 8: they don't come into effect overnight. 161 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: It takes a. 162 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 8: While, usually takes a cycle with income taxes for people 163 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 8: to actually feel the real benefit. Fuel prices are going down, 164 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 8: but we still need to have everything else at the 165 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 8: grocery counter to be adjusted for the good that we've done. 166 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, Congressman, what is your take on the presence plan 167 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 7: for the oil there in Venezuela as for in the 168 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 7: wake of the capture of Maduro. 169 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 8: I think a lot of this stuff is as you 170 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 8: start to open up the box, you start peeling back 171 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 8: the onion and look at what opportunities are presenting themselves. One, 172 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 8: you have had a dictator there that was arrested, who 173 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 8: is sitting in a New York jail that will ultimately 174 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 8: be brought to trial some time in March. And then 175 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 8: you've got the oil and the oil infrastructure, primarily the 176 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 8: infrastructure that was confiscated by that government, that was nationalized 177 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 8: by that government. So I see where the president is 178 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 8: trying to right that wrong. You look at those countries 179 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 8: around the world that aren't necessarily our allies that have 180 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 8: had a depend it's on that Venezuelan oil. So the 181 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 8: President's definitely got their attention. And look, this is where 182 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 8: the President's strength is. It is in negotiating, it is 183 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 8: in leverage. And this is what he has done with this. 184 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 8: As he starts to message the fact that we're going 185 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 8: to bring this oil to the United States to benefit 186 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 8: Venezuela and Americans, you know what, those countries at depend 187 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 8: on Venezuelan Ola are starting to get concerned and what 188 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 8: does that mean to my supply chains. I think this 189 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 8: is just how the President continues to negotiate with other 190 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 8: parts of the countries. 191 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: Congressman top Trump administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco 192 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseith, briefed congressional leaders yesterday. 193 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: Lawmakers were told there is no expectation of US troops 194 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: on the ground and that this is not a quote, 195 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: warped war, but a precise operation to hold a foreign 196 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: criminal accountable and protect American communities from drug cartels. 197 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,239 Speaker 6: Your thoughts on the matter. 198 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, Look, this president has shown that he does not 199 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 8: want to put our soldiers in arms way, and it's 200 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 8: no different than what happened in Syria.

And a 272 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 10: lot of times I think they see AI as their 273 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 10: pathway to getting that. 274 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian, if you want to add in, no. 275 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 4: You're absolutely yeah, no, I agree. 276 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 7: And of course, you know, years ago when I worked 277 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 7: in Dallas, our news director said, look, don't be first, 278 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 7: be right, be correct.

But could it get even worse 283 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 7: from could the AI technology get even better? Where we 284 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 7: don't know if this is actually happening, is this a 285 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 7: true news story? And how dangerous can that be to 286 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 7: effectively create chaos in a country, in our own country 287 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 7: and anywhere around the world. 288 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 9: Well, that's the scary part is generally on social media, 289 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 9: we've seen people using AI and using you know, fake 290 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 9: created photos for clicks. 291 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 10: It's basically just a war for clicks. They don't care 292 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 10: if they're honest, they don't care if they're right. It's 293 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 10: all about getting the clicks. 294 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 11: But now we're seeing actual government intervention, government programs or 295 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 11: government influencers that are recognizing that they can push any 296 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 11: narrative they want, and even worse, when they put out 297 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 11: fake narratives. It's you have the other side who so 298 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 11: badly wants to believe something to be true that they 299 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 11: end up pushing the same fake information in an effort 300 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 11: to rage, bait or. 301 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 10: To get more people involved.

We need Cleenland 366 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 12: from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not 367 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 12: going to be able to do it. 368 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 4: I can tell you. 369 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: Welcome back to American Sunrise Early edition. I'm Alison Hans. 370 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: Let's bring back Brian Glenn. Good morning. There in focus 371 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: right now Greenland and the so called don Roe doctrine. 372 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: You just heard Trump say it, we need Greenland well. 373 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is also 374 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: making headlines about the island, claiming Greenland should belong to 375 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: the US. In a recent interview on CNN, Miller told 376 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper, nobody is willing to go toe to toe 377 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: over the future of Greenland with the US military. Take 378 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: a look at how that conversation played out. 379 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 13: It has been the formal position of the US government 380 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 13: since the beginning of this administration, frankly, going back into 381 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 13: the previous Trump administration, that Greenland should be part of 382 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 13: the United State. Types the President has been very clear 383 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 13: about that. That is the formal position of the US government. 384 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 8: Right, But can you say that military action against Greenland 385 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 8: is off the table? 386 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 13: You're gonna be in a military action against Greenland. Greenland 387 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 13: has a population of thirty thousand people. Jake, the real 388 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 13: question is about what right does Denmark is certain control 389 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 13: over Greenland. What is the basis of their territorial claim, 390 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 13: What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony 391 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 13: of Denmark? The United States? 392 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 6: Is the power of NATO for. 393 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 13: The United States to secure the Arctic region, to protect 394 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 13: and defend NATO and NATO interests. Obviously, Greenland should be 395 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 13: part of the United States. 396 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: Let's welcome RAV correspondent Emily Finn A good warning, Emily. 397 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 6: It is so great to have you with us this morning. 398 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 6: What's happening, Hi, Allison? Yeah, great to be here. 399 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 14: I mean, we heard it from both President Trump and 400 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 14: Stephen Miller that this is in a national security interest 401 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 14: for the US to take a serious look at Greenland, 402 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 14: something that President Trump was talking about even last year 403 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 14: when his son Don Junior was on a trip with 404 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 14: Charlie Kirk Rest in peace to Charlie that was before 405 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 14: his assassination last year, to go check it out, and 406 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 14: the people of Greenland. Greenland were very much on board 407 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 14: and very supportive of the US being there in these 408 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 14: conversations happening. So it's just really interesting to see with 409 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 14: everything that's played out over this week with Venezuela Brian. 410 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is really interesting. 411 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 7: And I'll play Devil's advocate advocate here if if they 412 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 7: claim Denmark has no justification to occupy or control Greenland, 413 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 7: but what justification do we have to do the same thing? 414 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 7: And now I look online monitor social media. This is 415 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 7: a very debated topic here. Now obviously in the security 416 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 7: essence of the United States, that's a strategic location. 417 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 4: Support that. 418 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 7: But once again we're going back to the MAGA America 419 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 7: First agenda? Is this America First to take over Leenland? 420 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 7: And to what advantage is that? If there's any economic 421 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 7: advantage to people who live in Greenland, and if we 422 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 7: only have thirty thousand people that live there, what does 423 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 7: that Maybe they should be able to vote on this, 424 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 7: whether or not they want to do that. Also, if 425 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 7: we are going to buy Greenland from Denmark, that does 426 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 7: have to go through Congress. They control the purse. You 427 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 7: just can't, you know, adversarily just throw money at Greenland 428 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 7: or at Denmark to buy it. You've got to go 429 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 7: through the profit channel. So let's see if that happens 430 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 7: as well. But I think from a security standpoint, Allison, 431 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 7: I think this is a wise and smart move. 432 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 6: That's really interesting. 433 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: I didn't understand that it would have to go through Congress. 434 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 6: So what would that look. 435 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 7: Like, Brian, Well, I'm not sure if you will. You've 436 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 7: got to sell Congress on it. You've got to sell 437 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 7: Congress on the idea that this is worth doing. Now, 438 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 7: look at the slim margin we have in Congress right now, 439 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 7: is with the passing of LAMAFA in California, and you've 440 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 7: got another one that another congressman that has got injured 441 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 7: from a car accident. 442 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 4: He's eighty years old. Let's just say he wasn't to 443 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 4: come back for a vote. Like I don't. 444 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 7: I'm not sure this would pass with the slim majority 445 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 7: they have now. But you know, maybe I'm wrong. 446 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 14: Yeah, certainly, And things do get complicated when they have 447 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 14: to go through all of those processes in DC there, Brian, 448 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 14: But if you take a look at the state of 449 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 14: the world right now, you know everything happening between Russia 450 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 14: and Ukraine, between Israel, Hamas, I think it's really a 451 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 14: scary time for not only Americans, but for everyone. 452 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 6: Taking a look at what's going on. 453 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 14: And so if there's anything that the US can do 454 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 14: in terms of greenland or any other pieces of land 455 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 14: throughout the world that could be strategic to our military advantage, 456 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 14: to our national security, wouldn't that be technically America first 457 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 14: in the end, Brian, if it's keeping everyone safe on 458 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 14: a global perspective, Yeah. 459 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 4: That's a great point. It's a great point in Emily. 460 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 7: And of course that's the point that President Trump often 461 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 7: makes that having these negotiations with these countries and putting 462 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 7: American interests first and foremost in those kind tries is 463 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 7: actually America first. But we can just look down south 464 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 7: from where you're at Emily, a couple hundred miles right 465 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 7: off the coast, there you have Cuba. This we could 466 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 7: be talking, We could be having the same exact conversation 467 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 7: a week from now about Cuba. What does that mean 468 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 7: to the United States? Or better yet, go next door 469 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 7: to Venezuela there. Colombia is another country that President Trump 470 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 7: has often said that. 471 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 4: Perhaps we need to have some type of control. 472 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 7: So he often does refer to Emily as the US 473 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 7: is the I guess the leader of the Western hemisphere. 474 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 7: And one could argue that we no doubt about it 475 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 7: that we are the greatest country in the Western hemisphere. 476 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 7: But what does that look like? Do we need to 477 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 7: there's the map on your screen right now, do we 478 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 7: need to control dominance governance wise of the Western hemisphere? 479 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 4: Not sure? That's kind of what America signed up. 480 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 6: For, right And how many countries did you just name 481 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 6: right there? 482 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 14: And where does it end all of that American tax 483 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 14: payer money is going to be going to all of 484 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 14: this and then at the end of the day, does 485 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 14: you know domestic issues get overlooked? 486 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: Allison, Well, I think the question it goes back to voting. 487 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 6: I think that was a really good point with Brian. 488 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: I think you have to go into each region and 489 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: are we really helping the people and do they want 490 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: our help? 491 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 6: And if they do, then have a vote. 492 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: Do they want us to come in and what does 493 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: that look like and have a negotiation. This is not 494 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: us just walking around the world and trying to dominate. 495 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 1: I think it's helping. Let me help you, you know, 496 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: so we can help ourselves. 497 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, Allison, Emily, let me let me post this question. 498 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 4: Put the shoe on the other foot. 499 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 7: What if a country came into our government ripped President 500 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 7: Trump or Biden or whoever the president is out of office, 501 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 7: captured him and said he guess what, We're going to 502 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 7: take over your country. We're going to take over your 503 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 7: oil reserves, your energy, your infrastructure. 504 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 4: What would the reaction be in America? 505 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 7: And I could if we're being naive, if we think 506 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 7: everyone in Venezuela is supporting this. Now, we talked about 507 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 7: the AI videos and things like that. Overwhelmingly, I think 508 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 7: the people do support this. But if we think that 509 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 7: just getting Maduro out of Venezuela, his government runs deep. 510 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 7: There's a lot of people that worked under him in 511 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 7: the cabinet positions and other positions in the government. They 512 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 7: are still going to fight to keep the Maduro I guess, 513 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 7: you know governance, the way his style, his you know, 514 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 7: his commands in place, so you know, it could get nasty. 515 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 7: And so what happens if we have several countries that 516 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 7: we do this, we have some civil discourse on the 517 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 7: streets of those countries. 518 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 4: Now we have. 519 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 7: Chaos around the world that we actually well we kick 520 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 7: the ant bed, if you want to use a term 521 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 7: like that. 522 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 4: So I just want to be very cautious before. 523 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 7: We just think we need to go into every country 524 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 7: and be the dominant force and and and take over 525 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 7: their natural resources. And just like we wouldn't want anybody 526 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 7: to come over and take away our natural resources in 527 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 7: our country. 528 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 14: Yeah, certainly can get very complicated there, Brian. I mean, 529 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 14: you don't want chaos in any of these countries. Is 530 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 14: going to be a massive undertaking for the US to 531 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 14: come in and try to reinstate, you know, a new 532 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 14: new branch of government there. It's going to be interesting 533 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 14: to see, Brian. Do you think that at this point 534 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 14: that we are going to you know, kind of focus 535 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 14: on issues here in America, you know, continuing to secure 536 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 14: our southern border, continuing to deport all of the illegal 537 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 14: criminals in this country right now? Or do you think 538 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 14: that we are going to kind of continue on with 539 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 14: this so called don Roe doctrine to kind of control 540 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 14: Western hemis the Western hemisphere. 541 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: I think we can do both. 542 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 7: Emily, if you look at what Trump is doing, You're 543 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 7: sending troops up to Minnesota, We're still maintaining the border. 544 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 7: We have the safestu border we've ever had. I think 545 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 7: we're going to shift to campaign mode going into the 546 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 7: end of this year. We're just a few months away 547 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 7: from a primary in certain states. So I think we're 548 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 7: going to continue to focus on domestic issues, but also 549 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 7: look at these foreign issues as well. So it's going 550 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 7: to be a balancing act. But I think it's important 551 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 7: to note here I want the American people to realize, 552 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 7: what are they doing for us? Let's put America first, 553 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 7: and if everyone else needs help, that's a secondary adventure. 554 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 7: But we got to make sure they're helping Americas. And 555 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 7: you know, if you look at inflationary rate and all 556 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 7: the things right now, Emily, things are getting better here 557 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 7: in this country, so which we got to congratulate the 558 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 7: Trump administration on that. 559 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian, Thank you Emily so much.

Do you think 624 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: the GOP will be able to hold their majority in 625 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: the House in twenty twenty six? 626 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 16: Yes, I do. You know, you look at the what 627 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 16: this president has done. Donald Trump has done in less 628 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 16: than twelve months, and I would argue eight months, because 629 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 16: he took office in January twentieth. We had a forty 630 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 16: three day shut down, and this president has turned this 631 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 16: country around like never before. And you know, isn't it great? 632 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 16: We've got a president that can actually have a news conference. 633 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 16: Compare that to the Biden years, where not only was 634 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 16: he not competent, he didn't make sense when whatever he said, 635 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 16: But to have a man at the controls as president 636 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 16: that has done such a phenomenal job. The American people 637 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 16: will judge him on what he's done and what he's 638 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 16: been able to do in just a short period of time. 639 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 16: And I will tell you the courage that he has 640 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 16: his leadership. Yes, I think the seventy seven million people 641 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 16: that voted him in office, I think is going to 642 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 16: come back in in the mid terms with the individual races. 643 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 16: And look at his track record, look at his track record. 644 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 16: And you've got a Democrat party that is off the rails. 645 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 4: Now. 646 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 16: They're Marxist socialists, they're uh, you know, all they want 647 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 16: is power, auls and that's that's it. They don't deserve it. 648 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 16: And I think the President is going weigh in and 649 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 16: he'll get in on the key races and he'll keep 650 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 16: the we'll keep the midterms. And there's no reason for 651 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 16: for America to change courses now. And he's right, The 652 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 16: President's right. All they want to do is impeaching and 653 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 16: uh and I don't think it's gonna happen. 654 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 8: Yeah. 655 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 656 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 7: Congressman, I'll ask you, so, do you agree with President 657 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 7: Trump that if he's likely to be a peach and again, 658 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 7: if the Democrats win back the majority, they've set it 659 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 7: from day one. And Congressman, if you remember Jamie Raskin, 660 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 7: one of your colleagues on the other side of the aisle, 661 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 7: I think set it on an inauguration day that they're 662 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 7: already going to uh launch articles of impeachment on President Trump. 663 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 4: So do you agree with with Jamie Raskin as well? 664 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 14: Oh? 665 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 16: Absolutely, I Mean that's that's been their in tenth the 666 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 16: whole time. Look, they don't give this president uh credit 667 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 16: for anything, Brian. I mean, there's Trump true Trump derangement syndrome. 668 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 9: Uh. 669 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 16: And again, this is a party that opened the borders. 670 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 16: This is a party that uh you know, that sided 671 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 16: with those who have no who hate this country. And 672 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 16: this is a party who uh if those who watched 673 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 16: during the State of the Union they didn't stand for him, 674 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 16: they uh they hate him at every level. But again, 675 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 16: the American people know the truth. And the Democrat Party 676 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 16: is not the Democratic Party of the sixties or seventies. 677 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 16: It's the new socialist regime. And if you look at 678 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 16: what's Hampton, New York, California, uh in other states. Uh, 679 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 16: we got to stop it. We've got to fight against it. 680 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 16: And the President Trump is a perfect leader to leave 681 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 16: that fight. We're gonna keep the midterms. We've got to 682 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 16: get some more great candidates in line, and that's what 683 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 16: I intend to do. As governors, recruit good candidate all 684 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 16: over this country. 685 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 6: Excellent, well, Congressman. 686 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: Moving away from the midterms to a more immediate threat, 687 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: another looming government shutdown, what are your predictions as we 688 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: inch closer to the end of the month. 689 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 16: It's what's going to happen, Alison. If the Democrats think 690 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 16: it's in their best interests, if they think they gain leverage, 691 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 16: they will shut it down. Now, if you look at 692 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 16: what happened, you know when they shut it down for 693 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 16: forty three days last year, it didn't come out, it 694 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 16: didn't work out too well. So no, I think they 695 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 16: may bluff it. I don't think they'll do it. And 696 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 16: let's just say, if they do this, this will This 697 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 16: will show the true colors, which is they won't power 698 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 16: back at any costs, and they'll they will the American 699 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 16: people will suffer for it. But no, I don't think 700 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 16: at the end of the day, I think they'll They may, 701 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 16: they may say they're going to do it, but I 702 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 16: don't think they will because they suffered, whether they admit 703 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 16: it or not, when they shut it down for forty 704 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 16: three days. 705 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: Congressman, I wanted to get your take on the capture 706 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, he had the might. But 707 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: as a member of Congress, in your opinion, did the 708 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: president have the right to arrest him and his wife 709 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: by capturing them in their own country. 710 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 16: First of all, the president had the obligation, and I 711 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 16: heard in the previous segment, you know America first. He 712 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 16: is putting America first. Fifty countries have pretty much condemned Maduro. 713 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 16: He was not the leader of Venezuela. He's a drug king, 714 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 16: penn thug who harmed this country. And secondly, this president 715 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 16: would not put our military in danger. Had this been leaked, 716 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 16: had as a Democrat said, it'd be broadcast around the 717 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 16: world into Congress of what they're going to do, it 718 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 16: would have never taken place because Maduro would have not 719 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 16: been there to capture him, and people would have gotten injured. 720 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 16: Just think about what's happened. The president had the courage 721 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 16: to pull in all the forces, America's military might, which 722 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 16: is thriving under Donald Trump, and he carried it off successfully. 723 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 16: Not one person was injured. You had one helicopter that 724 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 16: had some damage. But yes, he did the right thing. 725 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 4: This is not. 726 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 16: A democracy in Venezuelan. And you know who's the Beneficiary's 727 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 16: the people of Venezuela, and I think that'll be proven 728 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 16: true as we get the refineries rebuilt that were put 729 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 16: in by America back into seventies, and it'll be a 730 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 16: country that is run well as has shown this president 731 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 16: can do in America. 732 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: Congressman Ralph Norman, thank you before we let you go 733 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: to break.

I mean when 802 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 17: he talked about the High Amendment. 803 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 4: We can get into that in a moment, but. 804 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 17: We will ask about that being flexible on the High Amendment, 805 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,399 Speaker 17: if you will. So anyhow, we're going to talk about 806 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 17: that obviously Venezuela. Arman Curdian will be here to talk 807 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 17: about in essence, the Monroe doctrine under Trump, and then 808 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 17: we've got Matt Schlapp later in the hour as well 809 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 17: from CPN. 810 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 4: Guys, very good. 811 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 7: You know, David Carolyn Levitt has a press briefing at 812 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 7: eleven o'clock this morning. How many questions I think this 813 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 7: might be. Out of all the press briefings I've ever covered, 814 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 7: I think this one will have the most people in 815 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,720 Speaker 7: that room because look at all the topics that Carolyn 816 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 7: Levitt has to address. Think about it six ways of 817 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 7: Sunday on Venezuela, and then you can insert every other 818 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 7: foreign policy issue that we're talking about, David. 819 00:43:59,160 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 4: Oh one hundred. 820 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 17: I mean it's Venezuela, it's Iran, Oh, Columbia, Oh, Cuba, Oh, Greenland. 821 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 17: Oh my, I feel like it's lions, tires and bears. 822 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 17: Oh my, I mean, my goodness, you could talk. 823 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 4: About all of that. 824 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 2: Oh I'm sorry. 825 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 17: Did I bury the domestic lead, which is healthcare subsidies. 826 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,399 Speaker 4: So look, I mean there's so much gold. 827 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,800 Speaker 17: Please someone get me some Stephen Miller today at the podium. 828 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 9: Please. 829 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,319 Speaker 17: I need a little Stephen Miller at the podium to day, well, 830 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 17: little dressed down. 831 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 6: I want a little David Brody right now. 832 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: What's your take on the oil situation and us going 833 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: in there and take it, take in charge. 834 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 6: I'll put it to you that way. 835 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 4: Well, you know, here's the thing. 836 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 17: First of all, I agree once again back to what 837 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 17: you said Alison a couple of days ago, which is 838 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 17: I think we all need to take a beat and 839 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 17: wait a little bit to see how this unfolds. I 840 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 17: think everybody trying to kind of pontificate and say this. 841 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 16: Is horrible or this is great. 842 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 8: We don't know. 843 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 4: I mean that's the truth. This is open ended. 844 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 17: We don't know how this is going to end and 845 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 17: anybody's saying, oh, this is the great move. Well maybe 846 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 17: it also might not be a great move, So we 847 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 17: just don't know. 848 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 9: Now. 849 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 17: Having said all of that, it was interesting to me 850 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 17: what President Trump said the other day when asked, they said, 851 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 17: is this about the oil or is this about regime change? 852 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 17: He goes, no, it's not about regime change. It's not 853 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 17: about the oil. And then someone asked him, so what 854 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 17: is it about? And he said these words peace on Earth. 855 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 17: And I'll be honest with you, that had me concerned 856 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 17: because peace on Earth, beyond being kind of generic and 857 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 17: it sounds great, it doesn't feel exactly like straight up maga. 858 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 17: It feels like he's fallen in love a little bit 859 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 17: with being the peace president, and it just makes me 860 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,320 Speaker 17: wonder about what's going on globally. So I think the 861 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 17: Monroe doctrine and what Trump is trying to do here, 862 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 17: I think is something that has been a shift here. 863 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 4: And once again, to be clear, the White. 864 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 17: House will probably say Brian that it's not a shift, 865 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 17: that he's always believed this, but they haven't led with 866 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,760 Speaker 17: it for sure. And now we're seeing that Monroe doctrine 867 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 17: really kind of compete a little bit with Maga, but 868 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,399 Speaker 17: at the same time they're trying to fold Maga into 869 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 17: the Mono doctrines. So that's to me a very interesting storyline. 870 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, Brian, final thoughts it is. 871 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,479 Speaker 7: Yeah, final thoughts on this. I agree with you, David. 872 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 7: Let's see how this all plays out. This is a 873 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 7: hint of globalism when he says we're the leader of 874 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 7: the Western hemisphere. I don't really don't really like the 875 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 7: sound of that, but we'll see what that eni. Fast 876 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,839 Speaker 7: forward a year from now, let's see where we're at. 877 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, in. 878 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 17: Terms of American imperialism too. 879 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 6: I hate the globalism. 880 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: With peace on our Thank you gentlemen, David, have a 881 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: great show. American Sunrise is straight ahead. 882 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 6: We will see you tomorrow. Thanks so much.
