The US government officially hit thirty 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: four trillion dollars in debt. I feel like that's kind 17 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: of a big deal. I feel like it's kind of 18 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: a big number. I mean, thirty four trillion. Next thing, 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, we're going to be at forty. When do 20 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: we all start to agree that this is the problem. 21 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: We shall discuss a bit more on that later twelve 22 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: days until Iowa. I have some Iowa thoughts for all 23 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: of you mayor adams of New York City saying that 24 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to turn migrants over to ice, you know, 25 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: sanctuary jurisdiction. Shall discuss that and then seeking sanctuary from 26 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: the blue state of New York. Our good friend, the 27 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: one and only, Sean Hannity officially announces his move to 28 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: Florida full time. I thought that was great. Another official 29 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: Floridian which is he's gonna love it. Oh, he's been 30 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: down here a ton already, but it's gonna be great. 31 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: Welcome Sean, very excited to have you as a full 32 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: time Sunshine State resident. We've also got let me see here, 33 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Texas Governor Abbott saying he's transported ninety five thousand migrants, 34 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: So we've got some ninety five thousand migrants to Democrat 35 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: run cities. We have some important issues of immigration to discuss, 36 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: to be sure, one of the most important continuous subjects 37 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: here on the show. So that's given you a rough 38 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: road map of where we're going. But I do have 39 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: for your listening enjoyment. Now more of the not just fallout, 40 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: but also the all out effort to defend Claude Dean Gay. 41 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: I have seen some crazy stuff in my time. Honestly, 42 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: I have seen Democrats lie about Trump for four years 43 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: of Russia collusion and then not care about the fact 44 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: that it was all a total fabrication. I've seen a 45 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: lot of things, but to watch the left in a 46 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: frenzy really debase themselves, I mean, make a mockery of 47 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: themselves to try to defend Claudine Gay in this situation. 48 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: Let me just first say it turns out that doctor Gay, 49 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: are they gonna let her keep this doctorate in the humanities? 50 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: I do wonder about that. I would wonder who wrote 51 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: a better doctoral thesis, or maybe borrowed a better doctoral thesis, 52 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: Doctor Gay or doctor Jill Biden. Neither of them are 53 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: carrying stethoscopes around, but doctor Gay, doctor Jill Biden. But 54 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: here's what we know. She is going to receive her 55 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: a nine hundred thousand dollars salary and stay in the 56 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: Harvard Political Science department. So she's stepping down as president 57 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: of Harvard University, but she keeps a great job A 58 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: Harvard professorship, and it's gonna make a million dollars basically. Sure, 59 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: if you added some other benefits and things, it's over 60 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: a million dollars. So that's the punishment. Huh. There's a 61 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: lot of interesting and really mind blowing explanations of this. 62 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to share some of them with you, just 63 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: so we can all have a reminder of what we 64 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: were up against. First of all, this was my favorite. Actually, 65 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: here is CNN a CNN reporter, Matt Egan. I want 66 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: you to listen. 67 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 2: Now. 68 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: Look, not all of us are, you know, academics who've 69 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: got masters or PhDs, obviously, but we all basically know 70 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: what plagiarism is, right. You know, you take stuff, you 71 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: pretend you wrote the stuff, but it's somebody else's stuff. 72 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: You don't quote it, you don't cite it, and clearly 73 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: you didn't mean to do either. Here is CNN just 74 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: twisting in knots to try to explain this situation as 75 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: though it's not an obvious plagiarism scandal, it's maybe something else. 76 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: This is cut seven, go for it. 77 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: These plagiarism allegations where clutting Gay has had to issue corrections, 78 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: multiple corrections, Now, we should note that clutting Gay has 79 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: not been accused of stealing anyone's ideas in any of 80 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 3: her writings. 81 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: She's been accused of sort of. 82 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: More like copying other people's writings without attribution, So it's 83 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone's ideas. 84 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: No, actually, she's being accused of stealing ideas because that's 85 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: the same thing. Isn't that amazing. She's not being accused 86 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: of idea theft. She's being accused of cutting and pasting 87 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: other people's published work and pretending it's her work, and 88 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: accuse over fifty or sixty times. That's CNN. You just 89 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: heard what this guy says. It's remarkable. But whatever they 90 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: can do, whatever smoke screen they can throw up because 91 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: they know, they know. Oh, this is a meaningful blow 92 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: to the diversity, equity and inclusion apparatus that if the 93 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: black female president of Harvard University is fireable, any DEI 94 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: higher anywhere within the system is fireable. Although as we know, 95 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: it's really just a demotion, not a firing, but you know, 96 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: close close in this case to be sure. I was 97 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: gonna say, but not enough. Let me see The New 98 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: York Times so skilled in the most mendacious propaganda. New 99 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: York Times rights how a proxy fight over campus politics 100 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: brought down Harvard's president a proxy fight over campus politics. 101 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: She said that there are some cases where you can 102 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: call for the extermination of the Jews on campus. And 103 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: then we found found out that she's a serial plagiarizer 104 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: with nobody of work to justify her professorship. What so ever, Harvard, 105 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: do you know hard is? I mean, this is stake 106 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: step back, because I had a number of friends when 107 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: I worked in the government. I had friends with not 108 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: only the master's degrees. If you work in the government, 109 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: a master's degree is like, you know, it's like buying 110 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: a latte. I mean, everybody's got one, and you know, 111 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: and master's degree in international relations and master's degree and 112 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: security studies, all these things. And so I worked with 113 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: a lot of those people on a bunch of them 114 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: have PhDs. And you know, one of the most common 115 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: things I would hear from and I'm talking about people 116 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: with PhDs from you know, the Yale History Department or 117 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: the Harvard Political Science Department or you know whatever, you know, Stanford, 118 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: I would say, so you work in the government's interesting 119 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: and they would tell me, particularly if they were white male. Yeah, 120 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't get a job in academia, I would say, 121 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: you can't get a job in academia with your credentials 122 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: to no, no chance, can't even get an interview really 123 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: for a state school position, never mind an elite university. 124 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: So you know, this is also when you think back 125 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: to Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren, where is an entirely unremarkable, 126 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: mediocre law student who ends up as a law professor 127 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: at Harvard Why because she pretended to be a Native 128 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: American sitting bull crap? She was called I believe by 129 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: the one and Only and culter right. I mean, there 130 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: are people who see this and they understand what's going 131 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: on here. They see the system, they see how it 132 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: is a falsehood. And really, so you know, Elizabeth Warren 133 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: gained the system in the most obvious way of pretending 134 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: she was a fake Native American. But here I sit 135 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: and I think to myself, what happens now with this system? Well, 136 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: they're defending this in the most aggressive ways, where there 137 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: is no effort to sound like you're being reasonable. It's 138 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: just whatever defense you can throw up. It's the equivalent 139 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: of flailing right intellectual equivalent of flailing just whatever you 140 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: can do to try to run some cover for the situation. Here. 141 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: I can give you more examples of this, but understand, 142 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: the whole dei apparatus is built on the demand that 143 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: standards be lowered and then the demand that you not 144 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: talk about the lowered standards. Well, that's a problem for 145 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: some people. Some people don't like being forced to lie. 146 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: Some people don't like being forced to live in the 147 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: lies of others. We're seeing that here. But if you're 148 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: wondering the lengths that they will go to, as I said, 149 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: a proxy fight over campus politics is how Harvard describes it. Broh. 150 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: You had an unqualified woman elevated for reasons of diversity, equity, 151 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: and inclusion to be the president of Harvard University. She 152 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: stumbled terribly during congressional questioning over anti semitism. Although that 153 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: was the opinion the left wanted her to have. I 154 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: have to remind everybody of that she was not going 155 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: rogue when she said that. That's why the other university 156 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: president said it as well. But a couple of them, 157 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: at least, what was it, you pen and mit? You 158 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: pen president gone, mit that President's still holding on. I 159 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: believe right, team, let me know if I mean, I 160 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: think you could yeah, I think you can measure her 161 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: career with an egg timer at this point. But you know, 162 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: still holding on. We'll see here though you have really 163 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: the mentality I mean, if you're wondering. This is from 164 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: the Associated Press, which is supposed to be it's not, 165 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: of course, but it's supposed to be honest reporting about 166 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: all of this. And they write, or I should say, neutral, 167 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: straightforward reporting about all of this. They write the AP 168 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: Harvard's president resignation highlights new conservative weapon against colleges plagiarism. Okay, 169 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: can we take a step back, everybody? A conservative weapon 170 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: against colleges plagiarism. I sit here. It's like saying conservatives 171 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: have started a new campaign pouncing on those who steal 172 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: from homes. They call them burglars and insist on the 173 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: enforcement of the law. You say, well, hold on a second. 174 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: I thought we all agree that that's bad. I thought 175 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: we all agree that plagiarism is bad. This is the 176 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: new weapon. This is the quintessential cliched Conservatives pounce moment, 177 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: or in this case, Chris Rufo pounces. I'll get into 178 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: that in a second. I mean, it's this is how 179 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: crazy it is. They're trying to redefine plagiarism. They're trying 180 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: to tell us suddenly that it doesn't matter. People's academic 181 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: careers are ruined for this all the time. People's professional 182 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: careers can be really marred by this. I mean there's 183 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: there can be major consequences. Usually are for other people. 184 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: I know people who have been fired from their media 185 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: jobs for plagiarizing in articles. You go and find this 186 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: is a thing that happens fired. I mean it's taken 187 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: very seriously. Now suddenly people who work in media and 188 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: people who work in academia are saying, I mean, his 189 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: plagiarism really a thing? Though? Is idea theft really a thing? 190 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: You know? It's like I say, it would be. It 191 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,359 Speaker 1: is as though someone who is protected on the left 192 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: is caught, you know, stealing from a store and they 193 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: say it's not shoplifting, it's taking without remembering to ask 194 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: politely if they could borrow the good that they took. Well, 195 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you could try to redefine anything that way, 196 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it's dealing and 197 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: that's what happened here. They keep saying allegedly, allegedly, not alleged, 198 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: you can see it. It's not a First of all, 199 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: this isn't a crime, so there's no reporting requirement to 200 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: say that. There's a presumption of innocence. I understand, right, 201 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: allegedly murdered someone you know, you should say allegedly until 202 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: it's proven. A core law because if someone murdered someone 203 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, that's really bad, you don't have to say 204 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: allegedly plagiarized. She plagiarized. It's clear for anyone to see. 205 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: Here's her published work. Here's other people's published work that 206 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: wrote before her. She took it, didn't give it attribution. 207 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: If she was a student, she'd be fired. I mean, 208 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: she would be expelled. We all know this. But they're 209 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: so desperate. Why are they so desperate? Why does this 210 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: matter to them so much? Across the media, across academia, 211 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: they are making fools of themselves in defense of Claudine Gay. 212 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: But people think, oh, is this really that big of 213 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: an issue. Apparently the left things it's a very big issue. 214 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: Let's come back into this, and I have the I 215 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: didn't read you the associated press text.

This is one of the truly great 218 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: and by great I mean awful moments of associated press 219 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: propaganda that you will hear, and that's saying something.

We got some news coming 256 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: out of New York City. I wanted to get series Oh. 257 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top of the show, our good 258 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: friend mister Sean Hannity, the one and only. He is 259 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: now a Florida residence. He announced it, which is great. 260 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm a Florida resident. Shawn's a Florida resident. If you 261 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: started to add up all the people who work in 262 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: conservative media who either live in or spend at least 263 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: half the year in Florida, I think people would be 264 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: pretty amazed at the concentration of media figures, particularly on 265 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: the right, here in the Sunshine State. But I bring 266 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: it up because, as Sean said, didn't mix, didn't mince 267 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: any words. You know, it's because the taxes and the crime, 268 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: and poor governance and the mess. I mean, the reason 269 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: that so many of us, myself included, have decided. And 270 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: I I mean, I love New York City. I will 271 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: say this. I will always love New York City. It 272 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: will always feel like home to me, I think, more 273 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: than any other place. But I had to make a change, 274 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: and I still go back frequently my family. Half my 275 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: family is in New York. Half my family is now 276 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: in Florida. But I see what's happening, and this goes 277 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: right to it. Two things that are really tied together 278 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: in my mind. As I think it's obvious that they 279 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: are Mayor Eric Adams says this just came out. Well, 280 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: this has been true all along, but he said that 281 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: and admits that New York City is not allowed to 282 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: This is a daily mail headline turn migrants over to 283 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: ICE agents, and he says that people are going to 284 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: be sleeping on the streets. There are too many migrants 285 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: for the system in New York. And I agree with 286 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: you the term migrants. It's hard to get around this. 287 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: Let me tell you why. Because they've entered the country illegally, 288 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: but they are in the country under the false pretense, 289 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: but it is still the pretense that they are trying 290 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: to get asylum, and so this is why they are 291 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: referred to as migrants or asylum seekers. The challenge here 292 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: is we all know they're not going to get asylum, 293 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: or ninety percent of them are not going to get asylum. 294 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: And we also know that they will not be deported, 295 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: which is the law as it pertains to asylum. That 296 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: is what it states if and when they are denied 297 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: their asylum claim, which almost all of them will be. 298 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: So do you see what I mean is they've created 299 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: this situation where you can be attacked if you say 300 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: that these are illegal aliens. There are people who are 301 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: going to say no, they're asylum seekers. They're just waiting 302 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: for their day in court. It is bad faith, It 303 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: is cynical, but you can see how it complicates matters 304 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: right Their entry into the country is illegal, their refusal 305 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 1: to show up at But the courts are so backloged now. 306 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: I think it's three million plus cases, three million court cases. 307 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: Think about that. You know how many immigret judges do 308 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: we even have. It's a disaster, the whole thing, and 309 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: it's a disaster that is man made. The system is overwhelmed. 310 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: But the system is overwhelmed because of decisions that people 311 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party primarily, but not only there are 312 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: Republicans who are right alongside them. They take those checks 313 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: from the donor class and from the Chamber of Commerce 314 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: and they're, oh, we need cheap labor. Think about that 315 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: all the time. What really, America's got three hundred and 316 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: thirty million people. We have to import cheap labor. Hmm, 317 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: what's that all about? Why is that labor cheaper? Let's 318 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: think about this for a minute. Because people are being exploited, 319 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: and also the costs of dealing with the cheaper labor, 320 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: particularly with English as a second language in the schools, 321 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: and with healthcare being given in the emergency rooms, that 322 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: cost is all socialized onto the tax payer, and you say, oh, yeah, no, 323 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: wonder they like they get to pay below rate wages, 324 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: not pay benefits. And then the extremely high chance, high 325 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: probability of being a welfare dependent for the people that 326 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: are in the country illegally in some way or another 327 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: is then everyone else's expense. Right, So, yeah, this is 328 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: great for the people that can use the cheap labor 329 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: in this way, but it's wrong and it's illegal, and 330 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: that's why it's illegal. But I bring this up because 331 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: Eric Adams says that New York City is not allowed 332 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: to turn migrants over to Immigrations and Customs enforcement. At 333 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: the same time, the Biden administration is going to court 334 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: and saying Texas has to remove its razor wire. They 335 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: are anti immigration law period. They do not want enforcement 336 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: of these laws. They will stand in the way. They 337 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: will use the force of law to prevent people from 338 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: enforcing immigration law. Think about that for a moment, Think 339 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: about what the implications are a think about what it 340 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: means that this is the position the Biden administration is taking. 341 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: They are on the side of continued lawlessness. They are 342 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: on the side of the continuation of Now we're looking 343 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: at three hundred thousand. 344 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 2: A month, three hundred thousand people a month. How many 345 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 2: of you living in a city or a town with 346 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 2: less than three hundred thousand people? A lot, probably a 347 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: vast majority. 348 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: And you say, well, why does this matter so much? 349 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: I lay out some of the reasons and some of 350 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: the obvious downsides to this, but here's one, and this one. 351 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm I am particularly irascible on this issue because I 352 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: have a theory, having spent some of my time overseas 353 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: back in my CIA analyst days in countries that I 354 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: think Trump would describe as a hellhole, or actually he 355 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: used a different term, but nasty countries, countries where people 356 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: are unfortunately exposed to far too much corruption, disease, violence, disorder, lawlessness, 357 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: all of those things. Right, I'm gonna tell you one 358 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: of the things that you can use right away to 359 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: tell you about the civilization that you are in and 360 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: the level of how civil the society is is what 361 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: does it do with its trash? It's just the truth. 362 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: Any of you listen to me who have spent real 363 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: time in the Third World no, there is trash everywhere 364 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: and no one cares. I mean it's just, you know, 365 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: just on the sides of the highways, people to throw 366 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: plastic bags full of garbage, full of refuse, you know, 367 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: boom sprays open all over the place, all over the place. 368 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: You got uh into poor countries and there's if there's 369 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: any uh, you know, any concentration of people, any population center, 370 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: there's just garbage everywhere, everywhere, And that to me is 371 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: always one of the Now there are obviously rural parts 372 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: of four countries we won't see any garbage, But I'm 373 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: talking about in the city centers, the population centers, you 374 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: will see trash everywhere. I mean, I've been in places 375 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: where children were walking around in massive slums of of 376 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: you know, cinder sort of cinder block and and I mean, 377 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: I guess you call it a shanty like corrugated metal 378 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: roofs and the most rudimentary no indoor plumbing, and walked 379 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: around and there's trash absolutely everywhere. In the one place 380 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of, there were actually goats that were walking 381 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: around is kind of like picking through the trash. And 382 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: there are children walking around in little streams that go 383 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: around the houses just raw sewage. And this is a 384 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: bad sign for how a society is doing trash and 385 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: it has a psychological impact. Now I'm talking about some 386 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: of the poorest I've been in some of the poorest 387 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: places in the world, and it was eye opening. Now, 388 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: not suggesting that New York is a poor place. Quite 389 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: the contrary. New York City is an incredible concentration of wealth. 390 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: But it's about to get a lot dirtier. And it's 391 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: getting dirtier because of the budget cuts that are being 392 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: made to services. And those budget cuts are coming in 393 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: large part from the billions and billions of dollars that 394 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: New Yorkers are paying to support the migrants. You see 395 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: how this all ties in together. Twenty twenty four, Mayor 396 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: Adams has announced that sidewalk trash collection service will be 397 00:24:53,400 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: reduced by forty percent. Forty percent, I mean this now, 398 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: I understand you say, oh, it's trash removal. People are 399 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: going to be walking around I know New York as 400 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: well as anybody, and people are going to be walking 401 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: around in Midtown, you know, not necessarily so much on 402 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: the Upper East Side, not so much on the Upper 403 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: West Side. People are gonna be walking around in midtown 404 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: people are going to be walking around in in you know, 405 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: other more you know, middle class neighborhoods of the boroughs, 406 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, densely, densely populated midd class neighborhoods in the 407 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: Boroughs and Queens. It's going to be trash up to 408 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: their elbows. I mean, it's going to be a disaster. 409 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: And it's wrong. It's wrong because the people who live 410 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: there should not be subjected to this. They should have 411 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: clean streets. I don't think that clean streets are just 412 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: some luxury for a society, you know. I think that 413 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: it's like you get you know, you get indoor plumbing, 414 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: you get people with with potable drinking water from the tap, 415 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: and you get clean streets. These are really important things. 416 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: And the fact that New York City is going to 417 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: become how else could you see this forty percent trash reduction, 418 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: I mean a trash pickup reduction on the streets. It's 419 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: gonna be the dirtiest it's been in decades maybe ever. 420 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: Then why Because people are coming here who are not 421 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be here, and they're taking money from the 422 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: taxpayers of the City of New York. That is what 423 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: is happening. Now I'm not even talking about there's gonna 424 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: be cuts to the NYPD. They're gonna be cuts to 425 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: other city services. So you know, now we're talking about 426 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: crimes and other things. But in the same way that 427 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: graffiti in New York City in the nineties was the 428 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: most visual depiction of the urban decay, and it was everywhere. 429 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: There was I remember this nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one, 430 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: we got former NYPD listening. They know people live in 431 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: New York City, you know what I'm talking about. But 432 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: certainly the cops though, there was just this craze and 433 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: it was it was like a virus head spread. There's 434 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: graffiti everywhere, and so wherever you went, you were just reminded. 435 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: People break the law here. People don't take care of 436 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: their neighborhoods, people don't care about other people's property, lawlessness, lawlessness. 437 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 1: And now in New York City people are going to 438 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: be constantly reminded as they go to walk their dogs, 439 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: as they take their children to school, as they trash 440 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: all over the streets because it's not going to get 441 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: picked up, And what do you think people are going 442 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: to do? They're like, oh, I don't want to be 443 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: littering here. You know, I'm going to pick up after 444 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: myself in Times Square. Give me a break. A lot 445 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: of culture is a lot of societies, honestly, don't really 446 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: care about trash. That's a whole other conversation. They don't 447 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: view it the same way that we do here as 448 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: Americans in America, and that's another component of this discussion. 449 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: But you know, the most important thing is they're cutting 450 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: back on services so that New Yorkers get to live 451 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: with trash all around them, to make accommodations for people 452 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: who have made the affirmative decision to lie to border 453 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: patrol and to come to this country in violation of 454 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: our laws and skip the immigration queue as it currently exists. 455 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: And Democrats are going to continue this all through to 456 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: the election. Honestly, if anybody who has a problem with 457 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: this votes Democrat, they don't have a problem with it. 458 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: They're actually voting for it to continue. And I think 459 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: that it is really bothersome that I know that so 460 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: many people, including my own family members, are going to 461 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: be walking around on streets that are going to be filthy. 462 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: Oh and the rat population is going to skyrocket because 463 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: not only will be more trash for them to eat. 464 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: But also as part of this budget change, they're getting 465 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: rid of the rat control efforts. So now you get 466 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,479 Speaker 1: to have trash everywhere. I mean, people know this. If 467 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: they don't pick up trash in New York City, the 468 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: trash bags get to be like eight feet high. Okay, 469 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: and there's rats. The rats already running around. They're the 470 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: size of sea otters. You know, I got to hold 471 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: Ginger back. I'm afraid Ginger is going to be a 472 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: snack for one of them. Like it's crazy. And this 473 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: is a trade off. All these people vote Democrat in 474 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: New York City. You know they're getting what they vote for. Folks, 475 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: for the Republicans who're listening to this show in New 476 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: York and the New York City are and my own family. 477 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: There's a reason Sean Hannity just moved to Florida. I 478 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. I mean, people 479 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: see this for what it is. People see this for 480 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: what's really going on. 481 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: All right. 482 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: Now, let's switch gears here. If you're worried about identity theft, 483 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: do you have a right to be? A year ago, 484 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: the FTC recorded over one point one million reports of 485 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: identity theft scams one point one million. The total tally 486 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: for the year that just ended is trending to be 487 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: even higher than that. You likely know the signs of 488 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: online identity threats. Emails from strangers that contain links, text 489 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: messages from people you don't know, unexplained banking or financial activity, 490 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: and the list goes on and on. I get text. 491 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: I just got a text this morning. Oh you're the 492 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: Amazon driver, can't find you. Click here. They're just trying 493 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: to steal my identity. That happened to me today. It 494 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: happens to me pretty frequently. It happens a lot of 495 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: people I know. They get these text messages. Oh the 496 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,479 Speaker 1: UPS driver can't find you.

There 514 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: was a massive explosion in Iran, actually two explosions, two bombs, 515 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: killing one hundred and three people earlier today and over 516 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: two hundred wounded. This was in the city of Kerman, 517 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: which is about five hundred miles southeast of Tehran, the 518 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: capital of Iran, and it was a horrific scene. You 519 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: have over I mean, for over one hundred people to 520 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: die in twin blasts is indicator of These were powerful explosives, 521 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: a lot of shrapnel. And this was also symbolic this 522 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: strike because it was at the fourth anniversary of the 523 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: killing of General Kassam Solomani. Now you will. I'm sure 524 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: recall that Kassam Solomoni was killed in Iraq by a 525 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: US drone under the Trump administration, and it was something 526 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump initially received some criticism, of course from 527 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: the foreign policy intelligentsia about, but it turned out that 528 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: it was the right move. Cossam Solomoni was a mastermind 529 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: of terror attacks around the world because he was the 530 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard KODS force Coods's word 531 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: for Jerusalem that tells you something. And the IRGC is 532 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: the external well is the operations arm of the Iranian revolution. 533 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: KUODS is the external arm of it. And there was 534 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: the blood of many, many American soldiers on the hands 535 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: of Cossam Solomoni. He helped mastermind the creation and deployment 536 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: during the US occupation of Iraq of EFP's explosively formed penetrators, 537 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 1: these shape charges that would punch a piece of molten 538 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: copper through the hull of an armored US armored vehicle 539 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: not anymore thanks to Donald Trump as Commander in chief. 540 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: I gave him full credit for this at the time, 541 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: and I think it's another one of these moments where 542 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people who even were favorably disposed toward 543 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: Trump thought maybe on foreign policy, you know who knows, right, 544 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: he didn't have any foreign policy experience before becoming president. 545 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: But if you look at his foreign policy record, it 546 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: is first of all, no new wars thing, pretty big deal, 547 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: well done on that. You look at his foreign policy record, 548 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: it was actually one of the strongest areas. Foreign policy. 549 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: I think you could argue in the four years of 550 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: Trump was one of the strongest portfolios he had, and 551 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: that includes US trade with China and taking action on that. 552 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: It includes the renegotiation of the US Mexico Canada trade agreement, 553 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: and these are things that he did often at the 554 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of criticism from people on the right, 555 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: as I've said, who would say, oh, this is you know, 556 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: trade wars lead to real wars, and oh my gosh, 557 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: he killed Costo Solomoney. Now the Iranians are really going 558 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: to get us. Well, we're the ones who are in 559 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: the position of strength. Although you don't get that feeling 560 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: when you have a Democrat administration like Joe Biden's administration 561 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: in charge. You don't get the sense that America has 562 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: the most powerful and capable and fearsome military machine of 563 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: any country, any state, any entity in the history of 564 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: the planet. You don't get that sense sometimes when a 565 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: democrat like Biden is running things, even though it is 566 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: still true. But the killing of Costom Solomoni was a 567 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: at the time a bold move because the conventional wisdom 568 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: had been he's too important to Iran If we do 569 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: something against Costom Solomoni. Oh my gosh, the backlash against us. No, 570 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: that wasn't true, because the Iranians, no backlash. Okay, you 571 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: want to. You know, Cossam Solmani was a legitimate target 572 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: for all the reasons I laid out. He's traveling as 573 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: an enemy combatant in a theater of war. And you know, 574 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: they at some level also recognize one thing the Iranian 575 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Mullahs in general recognize is force, 576 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: because Mike makes right in their world, and we have 577 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: a whole lot more force to deploy than they do. 578 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that we go looking for fights and 579 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 1: a reckless but it does mean that when you're killing 580 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: American soldiers, you don't get to get away with it. 581 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: When you're just orchestrating the deaths of Americans and also 582 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: the loss of arms and limbs and sight of American soldiers. 583 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: Because Cossam Solomoni thinks that it advances the interests of Iran, 584 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: He's got to be a dead man. That's just a 585 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: question of when. And that the fact that they have 586 00:35:54,760 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: this commemoration of Costam Solomoni is certainly a window into 587 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: what matters in the Islamic Republic revolutionary Republic of Iran. 588 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely not republic, a real republic, but anyway, 589 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: certainly what matters there. And now we get to what 590 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: happens in response to this, because this is a big thing, 591 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: multiple explosions killing one hundred plus people at a symbol 592 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: of Iranian state mourning. There's already reporting. I'm seeing this 593 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: reporting that strikes me as well. A lot of the 594 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: people reporting on the stuff don't really know anything, so 595 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: it's not surprising they're saying, well, you know, Israel killed 596 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: a Bay Route based Hamas leader yesterday, and they throw 597 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: that in there like, well, this has to do with that. Yeah, 598 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: But Israel hasn't done dual bombings killing over one hundred people. 599 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: I assume most if not all civilians. That's not in 600 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: the Israeli m O targeted assassinations of enemy combatants that 601 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: they do. But this could be any number of different 602 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: extremist entities and groups in Iran that operate within Iran. 603 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: It could be a Sunni militant group. There are a 604 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: number of different factions inside of Iran that oppose the regime. 605 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: So it's just not clear who did this yet. No 606 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: one has yet taken responsibility, but there will certainly be 607 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: people in the Middle East who will just for even 608 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: if they don't believe it. You know, there'll be leadership 609 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: that says that somehow this is tied to Israel, just 610 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: to fan the flames of hatred even more. But it's 611 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: a reminder I think also, you know, we have an 612 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: election coming up, and I saw these numbers. I'll share 613 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: this with you. Four in ten Americans according to a 614 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: recent poll. I'm trying to see what the polling company 615 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: was here, I've cut off the link when I was 616 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: doing my research, but four in ten Americains say foreign 617 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: policy should be top priority in twenty twenty four top priority. Well, 618 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: it's worth looking at the record of the Biden regime 619 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: on this issue. I used to say, and I believe 620 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: it is very it's a very defensible point, because it's 621 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: very true that the greatest source of weakness. Isn't this 622 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: all amazing when you tie this together, my friends, the 623 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: greatest source of weakness for the Obama administration over its 624 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: eight years. And there's a lot of stuff that you 625 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: could throw out there right now, a lot of things 626 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: you could say and I would say, okay, yeah, that's 627 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: that's a valid, valid entry into the worst category for 628 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: the Obama administration. But I think foreign policy was the 629 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: single biggest, most obvious realm of just one debacle after 630 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: another under Obama. And the way you could see this 631 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: was everything every area of the world, look our foreign policy, 632 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, vis A vi, Bolivia, or Thailand in any 633 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: given moment, that doesn't really matter all that much. Right, 634 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm not saying those countries don't matter, and those people 635 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: that I'm just saying there are challenges and hot spots, 636 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: and there are places that are pretty much status quo. 637 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: And when you looked at the hot spots under the 638 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: Obama administration, they all got worse. They all got worse 639 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: in the Obama years. As a result of Obama decisions. 640 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: You had the collapse of Iraq and the rise of ices, 641 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: you had you know, the talibanwithstanding the surge in Helmand 642 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: and Condahar in Afghanistan, and US the surge and withdrawal plan. 643 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: He said, we're surging, but we're withdrawing, and he put 644 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: out the dates. The whole thing was a mess. Our 645 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: relationship with Pakistan deteriorated, not that it was a great 646 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: relationship anyway. The situation in Syria completely fell apart, turned 647 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: into the Syrian Civil War. I mean, I could do 648 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: the whole show just on and not ben Ghazi. I 649 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: know some of your probably Bengazi Leibia, of course, a mess, 650 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,919 Speaker 1: one mess after another. And why is this, I think 651 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: noteworthy in this moment, at this point in time, who 652 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: was appointed by Barack Obama to be in essence, de 653 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: facto foreign policy chief for his administration to handle these issues, including, 654 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, handling negotiations in a place like Ukraine and 655 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: whether they get a billion dollar loan guarantee or not 656 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: only if you get rid of that prosecutor. Remember this, 657 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: it's Joe Biden. Joe Biden somehow managed to be in 658 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: this upside down world of Democrats where true is false 659 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: and false is true. Biden became the addition to the 660 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: Obama ticket that was supposed to bring foreign policy wisdom 661 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: into the situation, and it was actually a shambles for 662 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: eight years. I used to even when I was at CNN, 663 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: I would debate libs on Obama foreign policy. They would 664 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: just get absolutely crushed, not just because I know more 665 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,359 Speaker 1: than them, which I did, not to be that guy, 666 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: but I did, but beyond that, because the record was 667 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 1: so weak, you know. I mean, if we're talking about 668 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: a football team and they're oh to twelve, I think 669 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to make the case that they're not 670 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: a very good football team. Right. That was the Obama 671 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: administration on foreign policy, oh in twelve or fourteen or however, 672 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: many games are a season. I have no idea, Clay, 673 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: where are you? But this is I think a place 674 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: where you will see if the Republican candidates and likely 675 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: Trump can focus the American people's attention on this enough. 676 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: The withdrawal in Afghanistan was an absolute debacle. The situation 677 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:55,800 Speaker 1: in the Middle East has been getting much more volatile. 678 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: It's always a little volatile's the Middle East, but it's 679 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: getting much more valid under Joe Biden's tenure. And then 680 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: the Ukraine Russia war, which I think has been really 681 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:12,280 Speaker 1: filled with the Obama administration has led a delusional narrative 682 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: on this. It is delusional to think that the Ukrainian military, 683 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: even with all the support and all the money we 684 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: give them, is going to be able to defeat and 685 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: end the Russians by military means. It's delusional, But that's 686 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 1: what we've been told time and again. Look at the 687 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: New York Times. Oh, this spring offensive is going to 688 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,959 Speaker 1: come through. It's a failure. And you have to wonder 689 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: if this does turn into a negotiated settlement, will the 690 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: Obama I'm sorry, the Biden administration, which is really just 691 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: the continuation of the third term of Obama anyway, But 692 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: will Abiden administration push back any negotiations We already know 693 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: they've meddled before in this to stop a negotiated settlement 694 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: that was reported very early in that conflict. The will 695 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: the Biden administration delay a settlement to what's going on 696 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and Russia? Because and there's so many ways 697 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: they can do it. Oh, we just think maybe one 698 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: more fighting season and they'll get the upper hand. I mean, 699 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: they can always justify this, but in reality, will they 700 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: do it? Because they don't want Biden to have to 701 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: turn around to all the people putting Ukraine flags in 702 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 1: their Twitter bios and say, yeah, all that fighting and 703 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: all that stuff, we really just should have negotiated from 704 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: the beginning, because what about all the Ukrainian soldiers who 705 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: have lost their lives in the last year. What was 706 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: that for. If it's just going to turn into Ukraine 707 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: gives some territory and Russia stops the military onslaught, what 708 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: was the delay for? Was it necessary? 709 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 2: Now? 710 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: I know people could argue, oh well they had to, 711 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: you know, they had to bleed the Russians more before 712 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: they would come to the table. Yeah, but we heard 713 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: that really wasn't the case in the beginning. A promise, 714 00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 1: a guarantee of Ukraine not joining NATO and some territory 715 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,479 Speaker 1: in the east of the country and this thing could 716 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: be over. But nope, nope, a lot of Ukraine flags 717 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're gonna defeat that. There was a 718 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: time when there were lunatics running around saying maybe this 719 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: means the end of Putin and you know, the whole 720 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,359 Speaker 1: government in Moscow is gonna fall and Russia is gonna 721 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it got crazy. You remember all that. It's 722 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: a mess it's a mess. And so if these polls 723 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: are right, and there's there are forty percent of Americans 724 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: now who think the foreign policy is important, to think 725 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: it's the most important issue. I'll be honest with you. 726 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,839 Speaker 1: I that seems high to me. But I can understand, 727 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: given what's going on, why people have you mentioned China 728 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: and Taiwan. It's a whole other part of this. But 729 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: they had the wrong team in charge. Everyone, they have 730 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,879 Speaker 1: the wrong team in charge. They had the wrong team 731 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: in charge for eight years of Obama and now we're 732 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: going to the fourth year of a disastrous Bide administration 733 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: and we all know it. Blinking is is a buffoon. 734 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: The people that are entrusted to do what is in 735 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: the American people's best interest on the global stage are clowns. 736 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: They're clowns. And you know, people can say whatever they 737 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,919 Speaker 1: want about Trump's style and Trump's verbiage and everything else, 738 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: look at the foreign policy results. Put them up against 739 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: any Democrat going back for decades and say that he's 740 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: done much better. He's done much better. So maybe this 741 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,879 Speaker 1: is something that moves the needle in a meaningful way 742 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: in this election here. I certainly hope that it does 743 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: all right, start the year off with a great project 744 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: for the family.

I went to see a movie in 766 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:54,440 Speaker 1: a movie theater on my birthday. I went to see 767 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: the Ferrari movie about Enzo Ferrari. Which is the way 768 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: that Adam Driver sounds when he's playing Enzo Ferrari. It's like, 769 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: it's like a guy who's hired to play Mario and 770 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: Luigi at a kid's birthday party. He's like, hey, my 771 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: name is Anzo. I make it the pizza on the spaghetti. 772 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:15,280 Speaker 1: It is not good. It is not good. Some people 773 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: can disagree with me on the Ferrari movie. The first 774 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: hour is absolutely brutal hour and change. You're just watching 775 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: like miserable people and this and a a failing or 776 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: failed marriage. And there's nothing really about the cars. And 777 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean there's one scene, there's one scene where Enzo 778 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 1: for now, look understand, Ferrari had all these brilliant For 779 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 1: those of you who are gonna come at me on 780 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: this one, Ferrari's are amazing pieces of really art and engineering, 781 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 1: and unfortunately I get subjected to far too many of 782 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 1: them reving their motors outside my house. In Miami because 783 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 1: a lot of Ferrari's here. But they're beautiful cars and 784 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: have been for a very long time, and it's one 785 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 1: one of the most recognizable and iconic brands on the planet. 786 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 1: People just wear t shirts with Ferrari symbol on it 787 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: because it's cool, you know, and obviously the increasing popularity 788 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: of Formula One and the Ferrari team. Scuderia Ferrari Suderia 789 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: is Italian for stable, like the stable full of the horses, 790 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 1: Ferrari horses or Scuderia scuderia. Is that how they say it. 791 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't other than me Kiamo buck, 792 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't really know what to say in Italian. But 793 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,280 Speaker 1: I went to see the movie, and you know, people 794 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: can agree disagree. I thought it was one of the 795 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 1: worst movies I've ever seen in a movie theater. You know, Yeah, 796 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: the racing sequences were kind of cool. But before anyone says, oh, 797 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 1: you just don't like racing or something, Ford Versus Ferrari 798 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 1: is a great movie. Christian Bale, Matt Damon, great movie 799 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: and dealt with some of the Ferrari stuff in it. 800 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 1: Much better movie than this. Trying to think of, Oh, 801 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,840 Speaker 1: I love the what was the one rush, great movie, 802 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 1: really entertaining, really well done. The guy they have playing 803 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,439 Speaker 1: Niki Lauda, the storied Formula one racers just passed away 804 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,720 Speaker 1: a few years ago, does an incredible job playing Niki Lauda. 805 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 1: And it's a really good movie. So I like race 806 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: car movies. Just understand. I went to this movie to 807 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: like this movie. It is not a good movie. The 808 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 1: accents are ridiculous. Penelope pru Cruz is a Spanish actress 809 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: who speaks English with a Spanish accent, and now they 810 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: wanted to speak English with an Italian accent. I got 811 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: news for you. It doesn't work out so well. And 812 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: then also the like mistress of Enzo Ferrari, you know 813 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 1: he's Italian, He's got a mistress, you know, as one 814 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,319 Speaker 1: does back in the day in Italy. I guess she 815 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 1: has no accent. Suddenly like she sounds like she's from 816 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: Iowa or something, you know. So the whole thing it's 817 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,839 Speaker 1: a mess. At one point, he points to a couple 818 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 1: of pigeons and he says freedom for that pigeon, his pie. 819 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: I was like, is that supposed to be? Is this 820 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: supposed to be clever? Like, well, what does that even 821 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,879 Speaker 1: mean is I thought it was horrible out of sub 822 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 1: people disagree with my I'll tell you. My brother and 823 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: my dad's always with me. They thought it was horrible too. 824 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: And there's a really graphic scene in it, like way 825 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: more graphic traffic act or you know, racing accident on 826 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 1: a traffic accident, racing accident that I needed to be 827 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: But my biggest problem with it isn't even uh, it 828 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 1: isn't even that. The movie I thought absolutely stunk. I 829 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: give it like a d. My biggest problem isn't so 830 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,959 Speaker 1: much that. My biggest problem with it Also, you hate 831 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: Adam Driver, you hate Enzo Ferrari, and this guy said 832 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,400 Speaker 1: all this really interesting stuff. You know, he would say things. 833 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: The real Enzo Ferrari said things like tell a child 834 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,359 Speaker 1: to draw a car and he will make it red. 835 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 1: And that's why Ferrari had to be read because of 836 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 1: the wonderment of what a child thinks of as what 837 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,399 Speaker 1: a beautiful race car is. You know, he says things 838 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 1: like he was a great agitator of men and that 839 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,439 Speaker 1: was really his skill set, was that he knew how 840 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 1: to get people to do their best anyway. And then 841 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 1: then the movie you get none of that, you just 842 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: get the guy who's like, oh, like, I'm my car 843 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 1: company is a running out of mine and I cheat 844 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: on my wife and a very mean man, and I 845 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: don't love anybody. You're like, what is this? Like? Why 846 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,320 Speaker 1: am I watching this? There's no sense of the story 847 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: of Ferrari and the place that it goes to, and 848 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: then it becomes this incredible and iconic brand anyway, and 849 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,839 Speaker 1: I hate it. The worst part of the whole experience, though, 850 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,400 Speaker 1: and I'm not alone in this. I can bring you 851 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: all back to agree with me on this one is 852 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,879 Speaker 1: that they had me sit through thirty minutes of not 853 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,320 Speaker 1: even previews. I actually I'm old school. I like previews 854 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: when they're pretty good. Now it's not as exciting as 855 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 1: it used to be when I was a kid in 856 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 1: the golden era of cinema that was the nineteen nineties, 857 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: because now you can go online. There are websites you 858 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 1: can you know, on YouTube, you can see every major 859 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: movie trailer whenever you want. You can watch it on 860 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 1: your phone, So it's really not like the unveiling of 861 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: some cool new movie. You know, if you were in 862 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 1: theaters and you saw the trailer for Terminator two back 863 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: in the day, it's like, oh my gosh, I gotta 864 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: wait seven months or something to see this. That's going 865 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,280 Speaker 1: to be amazing, though you don't really have that anymore. 866 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 1: But I kind of like trailers. I'm okay with it 867 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: movies now, and maybe you know, I don't know how 868 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 1: many of you have experienced this yourselves. It's like some 869 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 1: torture chamber where they make you sit there for thirty 870 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:31,280 Speaker 1: minutes watching crappy commercials, not even trailers, commercials like you know, hey, 871 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 1: you must buy this candy, and you're sitting there like 872 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 1: I don't I've paid I don't even know. My brother 873 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 1: took me because my birthday. You know, you're paying twenty 874 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 1: five dollars a seat or something crazy for the movie. 875 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 1: Now you're paying twenty five dollars. You're already in there 876 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 1: for like two hours in change, which is really longer 877 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 1: than I want to sit in any chair other than 878 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: this radio chair, and then they make you shit through 879 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: crappy commercials so they can you know, further mind, they're 880 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: just monetizing your time. The movie theaters are being disrespectful 881 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 1: of the customer's time, and so I'm just telling you 882 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going back to a movie theater. I'm out. 883 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm done. I've said this before. Some of you have 884 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: listened to me for many years now I've been I've 885 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: been through this before. I can't do this anymore. But 886 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do it anymore. The experience at home. 887 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: I sit there, I go, I've got a flat screen 888 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,920 Speaker 1: if carry this yere at asker. I didn't know how 889 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,320 Speaker 1: big urt she got our TV. I think it's like 890 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 1: sixty five inches. We got a big flat screen TV. 891 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: And now huge flat screen TVs you can get for 892 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 1: you a couple of hundred bucks. Basically, it's technology has 893 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 1: gotten so inexpensive. And you got a huge flat screen TV. 894 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: I got a giant comfortable couch. I got refrigerator with 895 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 1: all my favorite food. I got my cute little dog. 896 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 1: Granted now is like the size of snuffleophagus, because she's 897 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,960 Speaker 1: hit fifteen pounds and I can't believe how fast she's 898 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,320 Speaker 1: growing up. But I got the cute little dog, and 899 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 1: I have no one talking, no one looking at their phone, 900 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: and no one making me watch thirty minutes of pre 901 00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 1: roll thirty minutes of pre roll commercials. It was truly 902 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,359 Speaker 1: thirty minutes long and I see there's someone a here 903 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: we go, there's some of the film writer Richard Zoglin 904 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,280 Speaker 1: has demanded now that movie theaters cite their actual start 905 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 1: time for the movie. No more getting people to show 906 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: up for a three o'clock movie and the film starts 907 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 1: at three point thirty five. I don't want to shit 908 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 1: in a movie theater and watch commercials. Obviously. Now I 909 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:31,399 Speaker 1: know some of you can say, oh, well you should. 910 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 1: First of all, I didn't know that they did this 911 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 1: because I could go to movies never, And if you're 912 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,359 Speaker 1: anything like me after this experience, you're not going back 913 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: to the movies. So they're doing all the wrong things here. 914 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 1: The only thing that's gotten better about movies recently is 915 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 1: they finally figured out I remember that if you had 916 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:49,800 Speaker 1: someone who was too tall sitting in front of you. 917 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: When I was growing up going to the movies, you 918 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't see anything. You just start at the back, and 919 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: if someone had like a really stupid hat on, you're 920 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: just standing at their hat the whole movie. You know, 921 00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,239 Speaker 1: you couldn't see anything. But yeah, I just got to 922 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 1: tell you that was what I gave you a bunch 923 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,319 Speaker 1: of things in my review of Ferrari which I thought 924 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 1: was absolutely horrible. And uh, and then I tell you 925 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: that the movie theater experience. I don't know how the 926 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 1: movie theaters are staying in business. Honestly, I know that 927 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: for people, there's like a nostalgia factor to it. Look, 928 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,279 Speaker 1: I fell for it. I went with my dad, my brother. 929 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: We were trying to watch the movie Guy, Guys, Guys 930 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,800 Speaker 1: day at the movie theater, watching for I was pouring 931 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 1: rain here in Miami, So there's nothing. You know, it's 932 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,359 Speaker 1: pouring rain in Miami. You know, I read books all 933 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:29,839 Speaker 1: the time, so that's not like, oh, I'm gonna read 934 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 1: a book that today. It was on my vacation and 935 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: so we went and see it. And it's just I 936 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 1: can't imagine that the movie business can continue like this. Uh. 937 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 1: Speaking of the movie business, there's a an outspoken feminist 938 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,399 Speaker 1: director who has been tapped to run this Star Wars 939 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,440 Speaker 1: franchise now going forward, anyone want to place bets on 940 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: how this one's gonna go. Hmmm, we'll talk about that 941 00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 1: probably a little bit more tomorrow. But yeah, Buck's movie review. 942 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 1: Ciskel and Ebert have got nothing on nothing on me. 943 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 1: I remember them from back in the day.

Yes, I think I forget which 948 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 1: one one of them passed away. But I grew up 949 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: watching Ciskel and Ebert, so I don't know whoever, the 950 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: who who's the biggest movie critic these days? Is there one? 951 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 1: Is there one person who's like the critic?
