Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Speaker 2: Right down are toll free telephone number if you want
Speaker 2: to be a part of the program at say eight
Speaker 2: hundred nine, if you want to join us. My first
Speaker 2: observation is, I'm not really sure why a US delegation
Speaker 2: would give twenty one hours to lunatic Iranians that had
Speaker 2: their list of demands that were so far off base
Speaker 2: that it was never ever gonna happen. And it was
Speaker 2: interesting watching as the Vice President and midd East Envoy
Speaker 2: Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner went into this in Pakistan
Speaker 2: over the weekend, the presidents saying, it doesn't really matter
Speaker 2: how these talks go, we win, and the President's not wrong.
Speaker 2: Now it may take a little maybe a little bit
Speaker 2: more complicated than where we were before because of the
Speaker 2: straight of hormones, but I know that the President's blockade
Speaker 2: is a first step the Iranians.
Speaker 1: You know, it's very interesting.
Speaker 2: There was a seventy one person delegation that they brought
Speaker 2: with them, and they brought with them what they considered
Speaker 2: four non negotiable conditions before the session began. Full Iranian
Speaker 2: sovereignty over the straight of Horn moves that was never
Speaker 2: gonna happen. That is non negotiable. And then they want
Speaker 2: complete war reparations, never gonna happen. They have no power
Speaker 2: to negotiate anyway. They absolutely have been decimated militarily. And
Speaker 2: then they wanted the unconditional release of frozen assets. That's
Speaker 2: never gonna happen under Donald Trump. And they wanted a
Speaker 2: ceasefire across the entire West Asia area. Those demands were
Speaker 2: non starters. And honestly, you know, why this went on
Speaker 2: for twenty one hours. That's the only I can't figure out.
Speaker 2: We haven't gotten an answer to that question. Hopefully we'll
Speaker 2: get one in the days to come. But you know,
Speaker 2: and meanwhile, the President had red lines. They've got to
Speaker 2: end all uranium enrichment, dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities
Speaker 2: any that they may have left, retrieve any highly enriched uranium,
Speaker 2: or there's a lot of talk of entombing it. At first,
Speaker 2: I was told that that was not a likely scenario.
Speaker 2: Now I'm told that, you know, once the President said
Speaker 2: that they've had eyes on it ever since Operation Midnight Hammer.
Speaker 1: That that kind of made me. It gave me a
Speaker 1: sense of relief.
Speaker 2: Is they're not going to get it anywhere near the
Speaker 2: sixty percent enriched uranium. Whether we go get it or not,
Speaker 2: that our lines are. They have to accept a broader peace,
Speaker 2: the escalation that includes regional allies, ending funding for terror
Speaker 2: proxies Amas has Bala, the Huti rebels and simply open
Speaker 2: the straight of hor moves and know they don't get
Speaker 2: to charge any tolls. Now, I don't know why that
Speaker 2: took twenty one hours. I have no earth the idea,
Speaker 2: but the Iranians, you know, came with this ridiculous set
Speaker 2: of demand, so it was never going to work. And
Speaker 2: I truly, knowing the president as well as I do,
Speaker 2: know that he doesn't care. And they left Islamabad without
Speaker 2: anything really done. Now, General Jack Keem was skeptical of
Speaker 2: this diplomacy idea from the very beginning, and he's he's
Speaker 2: just he was on with Maria Bartromo over the weekend
Speaker 2: discussing he'll be on with us tonight whether diplomacy can
Speaker 2: achieve these objectives. He was very, very skeptical of of
Speaker 2: all of it because of the forty seven you know,
Speaker 2: years of NonStop terror and madness, and this is a
Speaker 2: radicalized theocracy. I mean, these are Aslamo fascist. And this
Speaker 2: is why I don't really want to get into any
Speaker 2: discussion or argument with people that don't understand the need
Speaker 2: to take out this regime's ability to one day be
Speaker 2: able to reach an American city with a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 2: because I believe their radicalism will cause them at some
Speaker 2: point to think they're doing the will of God. Because
Speaker 2: they strap bombs on kids and tell them to go
Speaker 2: killing as men, women and children, why wouldn't they want
Speaker 2: a even more spectacular event.
Speaker 1: I mean, what happened.
Speaker 2: What happened twenty five years ago, nine to eleven one
Speaker 2: is twenty nine hundred and seventy seven Americans were killed,
Speaker 2: and the people that were flying those planes into the
Speaker 2: trade center were screaming a lahu Akbar and doing this
Speaker 2: in the name of quote religion and God and Allah,
Speaker 2: and with a full belief that they were about to
Speaker 2: enter paradise and be rewarded with seventy two virgins. I
Speaker 2: don't think you can negotiate with insanity, because that's what
Speaker 2: it is. There are some updates as it relates to
Speaker 2: the Supreme Leader's son, who the Supreme Leader never wanted
Speaker 2: to replace him. But anyway, according to what is coming
Speaker 2: out about this particular guy. Is he severe disfigured after
Speaker 2: the sustaining leg and face injuries. This was in the
Speaker 2: opening moments of this conflict and the beginning of epic fury.
Speaker 2: And how many son Hominy himself is recovering from these
Speaker 2: injuries that were incurred on February twenty eighth that killed
Speaker 2: his father and his top lieutenants despite the injuries, how
Speaker 2: many allegedly they claim, according to Reuter's reporting remains mentally sharp.
Speaker 2: But you know, at the end of the day, I
Speaker 2: think the one missing component that hopefully can be achieved
Speaker 2: in all of this, and I know there have been
Speaker 2: attempts to get there. It has been the notion of
Speaker 2: regime of the ability of the people to win their
Speaker 2: country back. And you can't win a revolution with a slingshot,
Speaker 2: and I've said that many many times. According to the President,
Speaker 2: there have been attempts to arm the people in Iran
Speaker 2: so that they can fight back against Iranian Revolutionary Guard
Speaker 2: forces and cud's forces those that remain and police that
Speaker 2: might be loyal to the former regime or the new regime.
Speaker 2: We don't really even know who's in charge at this point.
Speaker 2: I think you also have a conflict and a power
Speaker 2: struggle within Iran that we're probably not fully acutely aware of,
Speaker 2: but we know there have been reports of it. I
Speaker 2: have some good news on the oil front. Although oil
Speaker 2: was below one hundred dollars a barrel for a while,
Speaker 2: today it was above one hundred bucks a barrel. But
Speaker 2: Rory Johnston and we'll have oil experts coming up at
Speaker 2: the top of the next hour. But according to Johnston,
Speaker 2: he reported over the weekend that dozens of empty, very
Speaker 2: large crude carriers now have just kind of given up
Speaker 2: on the Straight of Horn Moves and are moving towards
Speaker 2: the US Gulf Coast. And each of these tankers now
Speaker 2: carry around two million barrels of crude oil. And according
Speaker 2: to him, this unusual movement of empty tankers is suggesting
Speaker 2: that global buyers are now preparing to purchase large quantities
Speaker 2: of American crude. And the trend has emerged as oil
Speaker 2: supply disruptions continue as the tensions have gone on there.
Speaker 2: Now there is one other myth that has come out,
Speaker 2: and that is that, Okay, so if you go with
Speaker 2: the figure that about twenty percent of the world's oil
Speaker 2: supply on a daily basis will go through the Straight
Speaker 2: or Hormoz. Most of that supply has already been replaced,
Speaker 2: or it has been rerouted, or they're getting safe passage,
Speaker 2: like for example, two million barrels of oil per day
Speaker 2: are going to China. They're not being disrupted the same
Speaker 2: thing with India. Apparently they've been given safe passage. Other
Speaker 2: countries if they've made individual deals and want to pay
Speaker 2: the tariff that the Iranians have been charging on the
Speaker 2: passage through the strait, I mean that's fine too. But
Speaker 2: Central Command US Central Command forces now are implementing this
Speaker 2: blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports
Speaker 2: as of ten am this morning, in accordance with the
Speaker 2: President's proclamation. The blockade now will be enforcing impartially against
Speaker 2: vessels of all nations entering or departing the Iranian ports
Speaker 2: or coastal areas.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: That means that the Iranians now going to be starved
Speaker 2: of any financial benefit from carg Island. Now, Remember they
Speaker 2: don't produce gas, they produce oil, and the oil is
Speaker 2: then sent abroad and then it is refined and then
Speaker 2: it has turned into gasoline. Petro diesel whatever it's turned into,
Speaker 2: so additional information. But this now means this is the
Speaker 2: sole source of revenue for the Iranians, which will you know,
Speaker 2: this will now bankrupt them if it is successful. The
Speaker 2: danger to me, in my mind is when you think
Speaker 2: of a traditional blockade, or if you think of American
Speaker 2: I don't want to be in a situation where American
Speaker 2: ships are actually escorting these tankers through the strait of hormones.
Speaker 2: That's not what the blockade is. The blockade means block
Speaker 2: and what are they looking to block? The Iranian's ability
Speaker 2: to export oil? Now, there are other countries that will
Speaker 2: find alternative roots to get their oil to market short
Speaker 2: of making a deal with whatever remaining third, fourth, fiftier
Speaker 2: leadership that exists in Iran. But what that really means
Speaker 2: is that they're going to have to the world's going
Speaker 2: to now look for other sources of oil. That's all
Speaker 2: there is to it, and they're going to find them
Speaker 2: because we don't have a shortage of oil. And now
Speaker 2: that America has has gotten rid of Maduro, and you
Speaker 2: look at Venezuela as the number one producer of oil
Speaker 2: on the planet is number two and way behind would
Speaker 2: be Saudi Arabia number three. Uh, there's going to be
Speaker 2: It's not that we're going to have an oil shortage.
Speaker 2: It's just a short term distribution problem that will easily,
Speaker 2: you know, in meaning in the next couple of months,
Speaker 2: be be able to sort itself out, and the world,
Speaker 2: the world market for Iranian oil will disintegrate next to
Speaker 2: nothing because they won't be able to they won't be
Speaker 2: able to get it out.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The one thing I would like a buffer zone the
Speaker 2: problem with the Strait itself, which has been mined by
Speaker 2: the Iranians, although America did ensure that there are specific
Speaker 2: passing lanes that they can get these tankers through, which
Speaker 2: is critical because like you don't know it when you
Speaker 2: fly in an airplane and you're at thirty eight thousand feet,
Speaker 2: you're you're flying on what is and how do I
Speaker 2: best describe this? It's it's the It's as similar to
Speaker 2: a highway, except it does have a name to it.
Speaker 2: In other words, planes will fly specific highways in the
Speaker 2: sky and get reports. By the way, there might be turbulence,
Speaker 2: there might be choppiness, there might be air pockets, there
Speaker 2: might be all sorts of things that pilots will communicate
Speaker 2: to other pilots that are along that same route, but
Speaker 2: there are It's not like they just fly anywhere in
Speaker 2: the sky. There are specific rout specific routing flight patterns
Speaker 2: that are given to aircraft both commercial and private, and
Speaker 2: those lanes exist well. Similarly, through the Strait of Hormuz,
Speaker 2: there are specific now lanes that have been cleared so
Speaker 2: that tankers, should we allow them at any given point
Speaker 2: in time, will be able to move through and move
Speaker 2: through safely without fear of any mining incidents. The US
Speaker 2: Navy began this critical mind hunt amid these Iranian tensions
Speaker 2: and have already been able to identify specific areas where
Speaker 2: tankers can get through. And US officials confirm that yeah,
Speaker 2: Ran did in fact mind the Straight of hor Moves,
Speaker 2: which was by the way, that was not something they
Speaker 2: did not anticipate. That was discussed in great detail ahead
Speaker 2: of this entire operation. So they they have deployed mine
Speaker 2: sweepers in the straight of Hormones and we're very good
Speaker 2: at detecting them. It just takes time. At its narrowest point,
Speaker 2: the Straight of hor Moves is I guess about twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four miles wide, which is not very wide. Which
Speaker 2: means we don't want to get in a situation where
Speaker 2: our navy destroyers, our navy fleet is anywhere near that
Speaker 2: close to land, which would make it a little bit
Speaker 2: more vulnerable to attack by the Iranians. And even though
Speaker 2: it would for them it would be a I don't know,
Speaker 2: it would be a win on paper, and the consequences
Speaker 2: would be so brutal I can't even begin to imagine it.
Speaker 2: But we'll see, because every Iranian port is about to
Speaker 2: be closed by the US Navy, and that's going to
Speaker 2: shut off the Spickett in terms of their own finances.
Speaker 2: So what the Iranians we're trying to achieve here doesn't
Speaker 2: make sense. But does anything that they do make sense?
Speaker 2: Does the fact that they strap bombs on young kids
Speaker 2: and tell them that they're going to get seventy two
Speaker 2: virgins if they kill innocent men, women and children, does
Speaker 2: that make sense? Does it make sense? After Midnight Hammer?
Speaker 2: They wouldn't. They wouldn't negotiate with some level of sincerity,
Speaker 2: knowing what the inevitable outcome would be after Operation Epic
Speaker 2: Fury and taking out three tiers of leadership. For these
Speaker 2: people to show up in Islamabad with their own set
Speaker 2: of conditions that were never going to be met, and
Speaker 2: not negotiate what they knew was America's demands. What was
Speaker 2: the point of it? I don't really know.
Speaker 1: I just don't.
Speaker 2: So I think that the world is now going to
Speaker 2: navigate the oil issue in a way that we've got
Speaker 2: to keep America's navy safe and secure. And I think
Speaker 2: that's all going to happen. A factor in one other
Speaker 2: thing as well. And Fortune put this out today that
Speaker 2: you know, all the relentless bombing by the US and
Speaker 2: Israel has pushed the ranium regime to the bring financially,
Speaker 2: so if this blockade is successful, they can't sell their oil.
Speaker 2: That's that is their main source of income. And their
Speaker 2: central bank last month issued the highest largest ever currency
Speaker 2: denomination and they're now facing you know, fifty sixty inflation
Speaker 2: on top of everything else. Official data downplaying it, but
Speaker 2: they're in trouble financially.
Speaker 1: Solid as a rock, honest, truthful.
Speaker 2: This is the Sean Hannity Show. I find it hilarious
Speaker 2: that Iran nominated to head the UN Terrorism Prevention Group,
Speaker 2: the number one state sponsor of terror. UN's fifty four
Speaker 2: Nation Economic Social Council nominated Iran, which meets next month
Speaker 2: to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and
Speaker 2: terrorism prevention, and the General Assembly. They usually rubber stamp
Speaker 2: these nominations without even having a vote. And in addition
Speaker 2: to this, they've nominated China, Cuba, nic Ad, Agua, Saudi
Speaker 2: Arabia and Sudan to the influential committee that is going
Speaker 2: to I guess make this decision. I mean you talk about,
Speaker 2: you know, the Henhouse, meet the Fox here, as somebody
Speaker 2: put it in some column, the UN can't you know
Speaker 2: counter terrorism, you know, when they're the number one state
Speaker 2: sponsor of terror. Why do we pay seven billion dollars
Speaker 2: a year for this globalist organization? Why why do we
Speaker 2: spend all this money? Why are we a part of
Speaker 2: the World Economic Forum? Why were we ever a part
Speaker 2: of the Paris Accords?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Why do we look to international organizations when we should
Speaker 2: be the masters of our own destiny.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: The reason the President is involved with Iran is because
Speaker 2: it was an existential threat to America. The President saw
Speaker 2: that they were twelve days away from enriching they're sixty
Speaker 2: percent uranium to ninety percent weapons grade, and he made
Speaker 2: a decision that they can't have nuclear weapons. It's that simple,
Speaker 2: it's basic fundamental math. Then we learned that their ballistic
Speaker 2: missile range was far further than we thought. That's another problem.
Speaker 2: And then we have these these absolutely useless organizations, globalist organizations.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you one other thing. You know, I
Speaker 2: was listening to the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney defending
Speaker 2: his countries NATO commitments after being pressed over the alliances
Speaker 2: spending by President Trump, insisting that Ottawa meets the benchmark
Speaker 2: even though Canada has only reached two percent of their
Speaker 2: defense target in twenty twenty five. They're not paying their
Speaker 2: fair share. And for those countries that don't pay their
Speaker 2: fair share, like Spain, why are we and won't allow
Speaker 2: us to even use the air bases we built in
Speaker 2: their countries as part of Alliance strategic planning? Why are
Speaker 2: we aligned with people that are reliable partners to begin with?
Speaker 2: You know, we have to face the reality the continent
Speaker 2: of Europe is in disintegrating before our very eyes. They
Speaker 2: are in a steep, steep decline. And I don't think
Speaker 2: there's any reversal of this decline. It's everything from embracing
Speaker 2: radical socialism, climate alarmism, the fact that they have neglected
Speaker 2: their own national defense and national security. They've been weak
Speaker 2: partners with NATO, They've never wanted to contribute their fair share.
Speaker 2: And then the worst thing they've done is unfettered illegal
Speaker 2: immigration without assimilation. Now you have no go zones in France,
Speaker 2: no go zones in other parts of Europe. They have
Speaker 2: nearly one hundred sharia courts in Great Britain. They're all
Speaker 2: countries in decline. They are a continent in decline. And
Speaker 2: why should we spend eight hundred plus billion dollars a
Speaker 2: year securing the defenses of U Europe when they won't
Speaker 2: even defend themselves and their unreliable partners even as something
Speaker 2: you should have such easy moral clarity in standing with
Speaker 2: us against the number one state sponsor of terror. And
Speaker 2: by the way, we've got to now keep our eye
Speaker 2: on China because US intelligence is indicating that China's preparing
Speaker 2: weapons shipments to Iran amid this fragile ceasefire. The ceasefire
Speaker 2: is over, by the way, nobody's saying it yet. The
Speaker 2: ceasefire is over. There's a bit of a battle going
Speaker 2: on between the Pope, Hope Leo and President Trump. Pope
Speaker 2: Leo on Saturday denounced quote, the the delusion of omnipotence
Speaker 2: that is fueling the US Israel war in Iran and
Speaker 2: demanded political leaders stop and negotiate peace. Well, we try
Speaker 2: to negotiate peace. I've never heard the Pope once comment
Speaker 2: on the need for, you know, to prevent Iran from
Speaker 2: ever having nuclear weapons, and if we're going to get
Speaker 2: lectures from the Catholic Church. And I was raised Catholic,
Speaker 2: and I went to Catholic school for twelve years, and
Speaker 2: I think the Catholic Mass is beautiful and in every
Speaker 2: way imaginable. I have not liked past popes. I think
Speaker 2: the last pope that I really liked and respected the
Speaker 2: most was probably Hope John Paul the second. Anyway, he's
Speaker 2: the first US born pope. And while he didn't mention
Speaker 2: the US or President Trump in his prayer over the weekend,
Speaker 2: which he which was planned before the talks were announced,
Speaker 2: but Leo's tone and message appeared to be directed at
Speaker 2: President Trump and US officials that boasted of US military
Speaker 2: superiority and how this war is justified, and he spoke
Speaker 2: about it in religious terms, and he said enough with
Speaker 2: the of the idolatry and self and money, enough of
Speaker 2: the display of power, enough of war, and in the
Speaker 2: Basilica pews, the Archbishop of Tehran, Belgian Cardinal Dominic Joseph Matthieu,
Speaker 2: said the US was represented in the diplomatic corps by
Speaker 2: its chief mission, et cetera, et cetera, and then it
Speaker 2: got a little more, a little bit more heated, and anyway,
Speaker 2: the Pope said that the president's threat to annihilate Iranian
Speaker 2: civilization is truly unacceptable. How come no pope that I
Speaker 2: know of, and especially Pope Leo, if he wants to
Speaker 2: engage in a public discourse on issues, maybe we should
Speaker 2: look at the Catholic Church's position during World War II
Speaker 2: in Nazi Germany and talk specifically about what the Vatican
Speaker 2: knew and when they knew it. Just saying, you know,
Speaker 2: if you want my real reasons for leaving the Catholic Churches,
Speaker 2: in many ways, I could not get over the fact
Speaker 2: that they institutionalized corruption. I'm just being blunt. I think
Speaker 2: the Mass is beautiful, I believe in many of the
Speaker 2: tenets of the Catholic faith. I've not abandoned my faith
Speaker 2: in any way. If anything, my faith has gotten stronger
Speaker 2: in my older years. We've been talking a lot about
Speaker 2: it lately, not that I want to discuss it at
Speaker 2: all today, especially the Lord's Prayer and Linda's interpretation of
Speaker 2: the Bible and her planed negotiation when she gets to
Speaker 2: the pearly Gates and she's going to justify her hate
Speaker 2: list and just justify ignoring the very clear statement in
Speaker 2: the Lord's Prayer which is a direct message to all
Speaker 2: of us to forgive others as we forgive. That's a
Speaker 2: different issue for another month, another year. But I find
Speaker 2: this fascinating that I did not hear the Pope one time,
Speaker 2: or any pope for that matter, weigh in about the
Speaker 2: terrorism that has been waged in the entire region, in
Speaker 2: the Middle East or worldwide, or those that have been
Speaker 2: so willing to strap bombs on young children and promise
Speaker 2: them seventy two urgins in heaven. I've never heard the
Speaker 2: Pope way in on October seventh. I haven't heard the
Speaker 2: and the horrors of that day, and the murder and
Speaker 2: the rape, and the torture, and the kidnapping and the
Speaker 2: beheading that took place that day. I've never heard the
Speaker 2: Pope way in about the massacre of tens and tens
Speaker 2: of thousands of Iranians, not one single word, And it
Speaker 2: just seems to be a very one sided argument. And anyway,
Speaker 2: I don't blame the President for fighting back, and I
Speaker 2: don't blame him at all. I think that the President,
Speaker 2: you know, is right in challenging what this pope is
Speaker 2: suggesting here, as the President went out there and said,
Speaker 2: Pope Leo's week on crime terrible. On foreign policy, he
Speaker 2: talks about fear of the Trump administration, but he didn't
Speaker 2: mention fear that the Catholic Church and other Christian organizations
Speaker 2: had during COVID when they were arresting priests and ministers
Speaker 2: and everybody else for holding church services, even going outside
Speaker 2: and being ten or twenty feet apart. And I don't
Speaker 2: really want a pope who thinks that it's terrible that
Speaker 2: America attacked Venezuela, a country that was sending massive amounts
Speaker 2: of drugs to the United States or worse, emptying their prisons,
Speaker 2: including murderers and drug dealers and killers. And I don't
Speaker 2: want a pope criticizing the president of the United States
Speaker 2: because I'm doing exactly what I was elected to do.
Speaker 2: And that is lowering the crime rate in this country,
Speaker 2: creating the greatest you know.
Speaker 1: And then he went on to.
Speaker 2: List of successes, and he said the Pope should be
Speaker 2: thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise.
Speaker 2: He doesn't think the Pope would have been elected. But
Speaker 2: if we're going to have selective outrage and we're going
Speaker 2: to get political commentary from the pope now the pope, Linda,
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't the Pope talk about
Speaker 2: the need for peace, and didn't the Pope talk about
Speaker 2: the need for a cease fire and how war is
Speaker 2: horrible and evil. I don't think all war is horrible
Speaker 2: and evil at all. Oh and by the way, biblically speaking,
Speaker 2: I don't think God viewed it that way. And when
Speaker 2: I brought this up the other day, some people got
Speaker 2: upset when I said this, But that was Are we
Speaker 2: to believe the Bible story about David and Goliath and
Speaker 2: that David was was given the strength by God to
Speaker 2: take on the giant Goliath and slay him, that would
Speaker 2: be kill him? Or that you know what happened to
Speaker 2: Pharaoh's army when Moses parted the Red Sea. I mean
Speaker 2: you can if you haven't watched the Ten Commandments, wend
Speaker 2: are those examples where the Lord what happened with Joshua
Speaker 2: and Jericho when the wall fell?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: And I can go on what happened to the many
Speaker 2: victories of Saul, you know? Or the Amalekites which God
Speaker 2: commanded the destruction of uh.
Speaker 3: I think, well, he's from Chicago, he can't help. But
Speaker 3: you know, him and Pritzker probably have Thanksgiving together for
Speaker 3: all we know. But I think at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, when we look at this particular pope, I
Speaker 3: thought the last one was bad. He's worse. And the
Speaker 3: reason is they've made it into being a celebrity. He
Speaker 3: thinks he's cool. He likes to have, you know, people
Speaker 3: that play baseball come and see him. He likes to
Speaker 3: meet with former advisors to former presidents. He has side meetings.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what if you mean, like with David Axelrod,
Speaker 2: who he met with before all that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm sure him and axel Rock go
Speaker 3: way back.
Speaker 1: I got a few things to say about the pope.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know why.
Speaker 2: At the parish level, the bishop level, the cardinal level,
Speaker 2: and all the way up to Rome. They knew about
Speaker 2: systemic sexual abuse against children and try to do anything
Speaker 2: about it, and they covered it up.
Speaker 3: Catholic charities are one of the worst defenders in human
Speaker 3: and sex trafficking, especially of children.
Speaker 2: About Catholic charities, but I can tell you that they
Speaker 2: knew about the sex abuse of minors and they didn't
Speaker 2: do anything about it that was systemic. Now, nowhere in
Speaker 2: the Bible, if you look at does it say that
Speaker 2: a priest can't be married. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: the very apostles that were chosen by Jesus himself were married.
Speaker 2: Eleven of the twelve Apostles, to be precise or married.
Speaker 2: You know, for the first twelve hundred years of the church,
Speaker 2: priests were allowed to marry, and it was only after
Speaker 2: that rule was changed. Now, I think you can get
Speaker 2: into a wide variety of analysis in terms of why
Speaker 2: that rule was changed, but I think one of the
Speaker 2: biggest reasons was the fear of the loss of property
Speaker 2: if there was widespread divorce and they didn't want to
Speaker 2: have to give up money and land. And then as
Speaker 2: a result, I think you reduced the potential pool of
Speaker 2: priestly candidates dramatically because I don't think. I think most
Speaker 2: men would like to be with women in their lives
Speaker 2: to be very blunt. Is that because is that a
Speaker 2: politically correct way to say that?
Speaker 3: Listen the Catholic church. This is just my opinion as
Speaker 3: a practicing Catholic. I love my particular church. But I
Speaker 3: had a meeting with my priest last week and I
Speaker 3: told him as soon as the meeting began that I
Speaker 3: did not like this pope and I did not care
Speaker 3: for him, which he laughed and said, Linda, tell me
Speaker 3: how you really feel. And I said, I'm sorry, father,
Speaker 3: I really I struggle with this person.
Speaker 1: He is not really sorry, but I'm being nice.
Speaker 3: You know, he's the priest. I can't be mean. My
Speaker 3: point is he is not a representative of Catholics across
Speaker 3: the world. He is not a representative. He is a token.
