1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: And an Iranian warship surrenders to the SRIL the first 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: time a ship intered by neutral nations that has been 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: Excuse me in turn, I should say about neutral nations 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: since the Second World War. 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: The captain of a ship of the Iranian Navy handed 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: his vessel over to the Sri Lankan government, a neutral party, 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: for internment, saving the lives of his crew. Hours after 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: another Ranian ship was destroyed by nearby by the United 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: States Navy. The Sri Lanka has assumed control of the 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: Islamic Republic of Iran ship, a fleet supply ship oiler. 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: Sri Lanka has sent craft to receive the nineteen seventies 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: airship within its territorial waters. Per local media accounts, they 14 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: had taken it has taken off one hundred and eight 15 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: officers and men who are to be sent ashore. The 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: ship will now be taken by the Sri Lankans for 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: internment for the duration of the hostilities there. 18 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: The Sri Lankan. 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: President said as government had selected the historic port there 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: due to the risk of disruption to maritime traffic by 21 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: the presidence of the inactive warship, so they wished to 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: keep it away from the country's primary commercial ports, they 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: decide to use another one. The Times of India reports saying, 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: we are not taking sides in this conflict, but while 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: maintaining our neutrality, we are taking action to quote save lives. Now, 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: neither Sri Lanka nor Iran have yet officially confirmed that 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: the ship was surrendered by the captain. Yet the ship 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: only arrived in Sri Lanka waters this morning, and according 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: to the long established laws of armed conflict at sea, 30 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: it would be entitled to spend twenty four hours in 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: the water of a neutral country without fear from attack. 32 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: The fact the ship has been handed over to the Sri 33 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: Lankan authorities so quickly strongly suggests the captain took the 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: decision to preserve the life of his men by opting 35 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: out the conflict altogether. Now, had Sri Lanka not in 36 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: turn the ship within twenty four hours or compelled the 37 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: Iranians to leave their territory, the United States would have 38 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: been free to sink that ship even inside Tri Lanka 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: International waters or harbors. The International Red Cross also states 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: on this subject, it is generally accepted that when a 41 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: ship like this and the force is inter neutral territory 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: and the neutral authority is unable or unwilling to expel 43 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: or in turn them. The first party is enteled to 44 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: undertake their hot pursuit and attack them there. It may 45 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: even seek compensation from the neutral state for this breach 46 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: of neutrality. The mere presence of this ship does not 47 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: just fly hot pursuit. There must be some failure by 48 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: the neutral state to uphold its neutrality. Now this is 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: obviously complicated kumbaya and you know, like international rules just 50 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: make me roll my eyes. But under the same those 51 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: same law laws of war, the cost to the captain 52 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: the crew is that they too are to be in 53 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: in Sri Lanka for the remainder of the conflict. The 54 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: officers may be given parole, but would not be free 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: to leave the territory of Sri Lanka to go home. 56 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: Given the facts is known, this is the first time 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: since the World War Second World War that a warship 58 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: has been in turned by the government of a neutral power. 59 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: During the Second World War, several damaged U boats were 60 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: able to limp to neutral harbors and turn themselves over 61 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: to the authorities after being damaged and attacks, preferring to 62 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: see out the remainder of the war in captivity rather 63 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: than the certainty of death at sea. The internment of 64 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: the Iris follows by day the destruction of the Iranian 65 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: frigate and the international waters in the south of Sri Lanka, 66 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: the first sinking of an enemy ship by the United 67 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: States submarine since the world Second World War War and 68 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: the first officially acknowledged sunk sinkings anywhere since nineteen eighty two. 69 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: The US Department of. 70 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: War published the periscope footage of the moment of destruction, 71 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: and I got to say, it was pretty awesome, Like 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: it was kind of like, yeah, we could have hit 73 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: this from the air, but let's let our submarines show 74 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: what they can do as well. I think it was 75 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: a pr move and a very smart one to remind 76 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: the rest of the world that we've got a lot 77 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: of submarines that are very capable and they wanted them 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: in the action. I also think that's amazing that they 79 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: wanted them in the action. So I got to say, 80 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: another example of a job well done in by the US, 81 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: and this Iranian worship surrendering also, I think tells you 82 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: about the mentality of what we're seeing right there in Iran, 83 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people now saying do we 84 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: stay and die or do we maybe think about saving 85 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: our own lives. 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: I think that's I think. 87 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: That's a pretty interesting perspective here, love, generosity, and compassion. 88 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 1: We say those words all the time, and they sound good, 89 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: they feel good. 90 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: But here's the truth. 91 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into action, 92 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: and right now, not later, today, not Tomorrow's a child 93 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: in the world who doesn't know if they'll eat, if 94 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's any 95 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: hope at all. And while we're all busy, life keeps 96 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is where 97 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: you come in with Compassion International. You have the chance 98 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: to change a child's future, not just with words, not 99 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: with promises, but with real help that provides food, education 100 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: and hope through local churches and people already in their community. 101 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: Put your words into action and join me introduce a 102 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: child to a loving heavenly father today at Compassion dot com. 103 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: That's Compassion dot Com. You also have something else that's 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: very interesting is that Iran now is trying to figure 105 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: out like who's going to be in charge. They really 106 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: don't know because every time they name somebody, we keep 107 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: taking them out looking and it's just a funny question 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: to ask. If you're bored, you want to ask Siri 109 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: or Alexa or like chat GBT or gronk, like who's 110 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: in charge? 111 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: I ran? 112 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: The answers are actually very different, which is also really 113 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: really funny because they're just like that. It's hard to 114 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: keep up with, like who's alive, who's in charge? What's happening, 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: what's going to happen next? Now, there's also also a 116 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: question a lot of people were asking in the White House. 117 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: Is frustrated about this? I know? 118 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: And that is that we are seeing because of this war, 119 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 1: gas prices that have risen. I'll give you a great example. 120 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: I'm in Houston right now. Gas price of Riman risen 121 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: thirty cents a gallon since the US Israel strikes on Iran. Now, 122 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: according to Triple A, the highest gas prices ever recorded 123 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: in Houston were four dollars and sixty eight cents per 124 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: gallon of regular unleaded and five twenty four per gawn 125 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: of diesel during March of twenty twenty two. You know 126 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: who is president then, that would be Joe Biden. That 127 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: was shortly after Russia's invasion also of Ukraine. So you 128 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: can again think about that. Now, gas prices are up 129 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: thirty cents on average as the oil markets in the 130 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: US around the world react to the ongoing conflict in 131 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: the Middle East that it has sparked because of this war. 132 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: According to Triple A, the average price for regular unleaded 133 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: gas has since risen from two forty eight to seventy 134 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: eight per gallon over the past month. That is a 135 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: thirty five cent increase. Now where you are, it could 136 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: be much higher than that, depending on where you are 137 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: in the country. Texas is going to be lower because 138 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of refineries here, a lot of oil here, 139 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to travel as far after it's refined. 140 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: There's a very good chance it's going to be much 141 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: higher depending on where you're listening. This is something the 142 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: White House I think knew about. But I also think 143 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: that the White House understood that they had to do this, 144 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: and I actually last week went down to the permium 145 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: basin with Chevron and went to a Davison drilling rig 146 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: to see how it works in the premium basin. You 147 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: realize something very fast there. This is all about American 148 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: energy security. And if you go firsthand and you see 149 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: what fuels America, and you go to these rigs, as 150 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: I was able to, I got to sit in the 151 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: in the and I mean the driller's chair as they 152 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: were drilling this new uh well. And I put this, 153 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: by the way, the video up on x if you 154 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: want to watch it, as I sitting there talking with Chevron, 155 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: like you understand the importance of energy independence. You understand 156 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: the importance of making sure that we're not reliant on 157 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: foreign oil to fill up our cars and to run 158 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: our country and and and almost everything you touch as 159 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: petroleum in it. 160 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: Okay. 161 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: That's That's like another like really important and significant part 162 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: of this is that people really truly do need to 163 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: understand that having America energy it dominants is not only 164 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: key for our prosperity, but it's a key for our 165 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: national security. And if you look at now where China is, 166 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: and this is Trump's attack on Iran has taken a 167 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: big economic bite out of one of America's chief rivals, China. 168 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: Almost all okay, listen carefully. Almost all of Iran's exported 169 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: oil and more than half of Venezuela's oil went last 170 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: year to China directly. Now there are five different charts 171 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: that are now showing that China's oil dilemma is a 172 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: massive problem. 173 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: All right. 174 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: Politico did a very interesting article about this, saying disruption 175 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: of Iranian oil supplies may make China more interested in 176 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: turning to Russia because they're now getting desperate quickly for 177 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: energy and President Trump's attack on Iran is now taking 178 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: a massive economic bite out of China. Over the span 179 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: of two months, the Trump administration has removed not one, 180 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: but has removed two leaders of the two most important 181 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: countries to China when it comes to their oil and 182 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: getting oil. China is it's their most important crude oil 183 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: customer was China four Iran and four Venezuela. China buys 184 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: oil from nations all across the Middle East, Okay, but 185 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: Iran was second only to Saudi Arabia as its supplier 186 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: last year. According to analysis of data provided by market 187 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: research firms that are in the industry, almost all of 188 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: Iranian's export oil and more than half of Venezuela's went 189 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: directly to China, which remained one of the only purchasers 190 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: of goods from the Nearly from the two heavily sanctioned nations. 191 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: The two countries combined represent some seventeen percent of China's 192 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: overall oil purchases. That is a massive share of the 193 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: world's largest importer of crude oil. In China is the 194 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: largest importer of crude oil. The Chinese Foreign Minister and 195 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: Saturday said it was highly concerned. Okay, they said that's 196 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: in China by the attack on I Ran and called 197 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: for an end of the war immediately. Why because there's 198 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: a squeeze on China's energy supply and it comes just 199 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: weeks before Trumps lay to hold a summit with a 200 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: Chinese leader G Gping. That's going to be a big 201 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: problem for them as well. Now you add all these 202 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: new challenges and obtaining oil from the Persian Gulf, that 203 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: could drive China to expand its reliance on anybody else 204 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: that's going to work with them. I think that's clearly 205 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: going to end up being Russia. Quote, if the conflict 206 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: drags on for a couple of weeks, the most logical 207 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: solution for Beijing is going to be to turn to 208 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: more Russian crude, and they're going to have to figure 209 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: out how to get around all the issues there and embargoes, etc. 210 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,359 Speaker 1: China has a significant amount of crude held in storage. 211 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: They're really smart when it comes to that, all right. 212 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: They're better than we are with our oil supplies and 213 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: our strategic oil reserves. And had already begun ramping down 214 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: its imports of Iranian oil in twenty twenty six in 215 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: exchange from more Russian oil even prior to Saturday's fighting, 216 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: because they understand geopolitics anderson how reliant they were on 217 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: Iranian oil. Following the strike, ships had begun to avoid 218 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormus off the coast of Iran that 219 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: is a critical shipping lane for Gulf nations to export 220 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: oil to Asia. Specifically China, for example, in twenty twenty 221 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: five received about half of its imports imported oil from 222 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: these six Gulf countries that rely on the Strait of 223 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: Hormus to get the oil to China. Other large crude 224 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: producers in the region, including Saudi Arabia and Iraq and 225 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: the UAE, transport almost all their crewed exports through the 226 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: geographic bottleneck the Strait of Hormus, and almost all of 227 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: their oil is now going directly to China now. Trump, 228 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: to be clear, did not mention Iranian oil in his 229 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: address announcing the strike Saturday, marking a contrast from his 230 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: remarks after the raid against Nicholas Maduro when he said 231 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: the USA would run quote unquote Venezuela and have US 232 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly 233 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for 234 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: the country. So that is very different than what we're 235 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: seeing now in Iran. Iran, just to put in perspective 236 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: for you, exports five hundred and twenty million barrels of 237 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: crude oil to China and twenty twenty five that's more 238 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: than three times as much as Venezuela. Another one point 239 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: four billion barrels came from the five other countries that 240 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: rely on the Strait of Hormuz, and in total, more 241 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: than half of China's crude oil imports come from countries 242 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: that are now facing trade disruptions because. 243 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: Of the war in Iran. 244 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: So there is a massive vested interest in China saying, hey, 245 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: seventy percent of China oil comes from Venezuela and Iran. 246 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: Last year, we got to fix that. 247 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: They are also there's a huge interest in them, saying 248 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: to the President Nights, it's America. We'd love to work 249 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 1: with you and figure out a way to get all 250 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: of this settled very very quickly. And this is weakening China. 251 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: I want to be clear. That is a perk of 252 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: what's happening right now. I also want to get you 253 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: another story in here. The Attorney General up there in 254 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: New York City, we'll teach you. James is now pressuring 255 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: and this is how radical the left has become. Now 256 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: pressuring New York City hospitals to resume sex change drugs 257 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: for miners. The Democratic New York Attorney General, the same 258 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: one that tried to put Trump in jail, ordered one 259 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: of New York City's largest hospitals to resume ordered okay, 260 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: the New York City Hospital resume providing sex change drugs 261 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: to miners after the hospital decided to stop its transgender 262 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: youth program citing pressure from the Trump administration. James then 263 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: send a letter to the NYU Hospital on February the 264 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, claiming that the hospital's decision to end its 265 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: transgender youth health program quote unquote is jeopardizing healthcare access 266 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: for vulnerable people. 267 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: In her state. 268 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: The New York Post reporting on this saying the letter 269 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: threatened further action if the hospital does not comply with 270 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: her mandate. Now, a lot of people would say, hey, 271 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: by the way, that's like going rogue. 272 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: Probably not a good idea. 273 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: Nyu Legon appears to be suddenly and indefinitely canceling transgender 274 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: children's future appointments, thereby jeopardizing access to medical necessary healthcare 275 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: for some of the most vulnerable in New York. 276 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: The letter reportedly reads the. 277 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: Gaze against Groomers put out this tweet saying massive win. 278 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:55,119 Speaker 1: Nyu Legon Hospital has immediately and permanently acts its transgender 279 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: treatment of minors program. They blame the current regulatory environment 280 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: for the sudden shift, the Trump administrations threat to cut 281 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: funding the hospitals that do not end their programs, which 282 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: was a smart move by the president. Okay, Like, I'm 283 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent in favor of this. The trum administrations 284 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: threat to cut funding the hospitals that do not end 285 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: the sterilization and mutilation of minors is working. So that 286 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: came out and they if you look on their website, 287 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: the hospital's website landing page for this quote, care now 288 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: reached gender and sexuality services rather than the previous Transgender 289 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: Youth Health Program their Gender and Sexuality Services. This is 290 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: what it says in their website right now. It says, 291 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: we help children and their families understand, exploil their identity 292 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: with the goal of helping them achieve a true and 293 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: nuanced sense of self. We want children to understand and 294 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: value themselves so that they can develop the confidence to 295 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: talk with others about their sexual orientation and gender identity. 296 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: In addition, we counsel children, adolescents, and young adults who 297 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: have been diagnosed with disorders of sexual development also known 298 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: as intersex conditions or general variations and co occurring minutes. 299 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: So they're even admitting like this is in the mental 300 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: health issue now on their website, the lgbtwo Radical community, 301 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: they do not want it labeled that way. 302 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: I want to be very very clear. 303 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: So this hospital ends its program and why because President 304 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: did the right thing. Donald Trump and the Department of 305 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: Health Human Services proposed rules that would pull federal funds 306 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: from hospitals that provide sex mutilating drugs and surgeries to minors. 307 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: Good for the president quote. Given the recent departure of 308 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we 309 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: made the difficult decision to discontinue our transgender youth health program, 310 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: the hospital statement now reads. They also added it has 311 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: committed to helping patients in our care manage this change, 312 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: and said it's pediatric mental health care program will continue. 313 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: So they're admitting that the transgenderism is a mental health issue. 314 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: I'm not saying as a negative. I've said for a 315 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: long time. And what we allowed was the radical left 316 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: to stop treating people dealing with mental health issues, believing 317 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: that like they're a man trapped in a woman's body 318 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: or vice versa, is somehow outside of it being mental, 319 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: Like they were advocating and supporting a mental health issue 320 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: instead of treating it. And because they were making millions 321 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,239 Speaker 1: off these kids. That's the sick part about all this. 322 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: It used to be a real mental health issue that like, hey, 323 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: like we got to get Timmy help. 324 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: He thinks of Susie. 325 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: And instead what the left is like, no, no, let's embrace 326 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: Timmy being Susie. Let's exploit their mental health issue to 327 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: make money off of it. Because when we do this 328 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: to a kid, their patient for life, whether they like 329 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: it or not, because their bodies rejecting what we've done 330 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: to their body, and we make millions. This year marks 331 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: a critical moment for our country as the opposition grows 332 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: more aggressive and unapologetic. The fight now reaches into the 333 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: everyday decisions we make. Patriot Mobile has been standing on 334 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: the front lines fighting for freedom for more than twelve years. 335 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: They don't just deliver top tier wireless service.

That's an all time high. Sixty 356 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: one percent view socialism negatively. 357 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: Did you hear me? 358 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: Thirty eight percent of voters say they would be a 359 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: good thing for the US to move away from capitalism 360 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: and towards socialism. Thirty seven percent of Americans that think 361 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: we should go away from care capitialism and go to socialism. 362 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: How do you think we got that?

Sixty one percent 366 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: view socialism negative. But you still have a large number. 367 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: And by the way, the shift they say maybe tied. 368 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: Maybe divided views on capitalism itself, as voters have split 369 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: over whether capitalism in the United States is working, well, 370 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: say it's working. Very or somewhat well, but nearly as 371 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: many this will be your laughter. Dems forty nine percent 372 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: say it's working not very or not. 373 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 2: At all well. 374 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: That that can explain to you the rise of Mundani 375 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: for example, Right and aocs like they have they have 376 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: gone under the core belief and the core point and 377 00:21:54,280 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 1: the attack that and the obsession that America is somehow 378 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: evil in its existence, and that capitalism is the drug 379 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: that is evil in America, and that if we were 380 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: all just somehow the same. Because part of this is 381 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: the left knows that a lot of their voters are poor, 382 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: and they want to convince them that the system's working 383 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: against them, right, not for them, and so they're like, hey, 384 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: help us take from the rich. This is the Robin 385 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: man like syndrome, as I call it, where you get 386 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people that do great because they work 387 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: their a to blast is off, and you have a 388 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: lot of people that don't. And then they're like, well, 389 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: I want what they have, but they're not want to 390 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: do the work or study hard, to go to school 391 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. And so there's a jealousy. 392 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: And then you have politicians come around they're like they're 393 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: like Hey, there's enough of you guys are angry and 394 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: jealous that I can convince you that you're not failing. 395 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: But the system is against you and rigged against you. 396 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: And it's not your fault you didn't go to college. 397 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: It's not your fault that you're a pothead, it's not 398 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: your fault to your drug addic, it's not your fault 399 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: that you're just lazy. I mean, I look, I see 400 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 1: this in life. Now I'm forty, for Justin and like, 401 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: it's very interesting now how many people in my forties 402 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: that I used to be friends with will will actually 403 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: like come after me on social media, like not call me, 404 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 1: not text me, but will attack me because they are, 405 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: I guess, frustrated that I'm successful. And they're like, well, 406 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: you don't understand the working man, the hard man. I'm like, dude, 407 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: I work my tail off, like while you were, while 408 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: you were trying to get one of them, I said. 409 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: We had one of those pretty bunk conversations one day 410 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: and I said to him, I was like, he was like, 411 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, well you don't understand what it's like struggle 412 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: like I do. That's why I work so hard. And 413 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: we both came from the same place. We both didn't 414 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: grow up on third base or second base or on 415 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: first base. Okay, like you and I both knew we 416 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: need to. 417 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 2: Pay we were gonna have to pay for college. 418 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: You and I both knew that we were gonna have 419 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: to get there on a college scholarship if we were 420 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: going to go. And the difference between you and I 421 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: is I was out there busting my tail working sixty 422 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: hours a week teaching tennis in the summer, while you 423 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: were trying to get your beer plate on the wall 424 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: at Flying Saucer. And if you know what Flying Saucer is, 425 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: it's a beer house. They have like X number of 426 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: brews on tap. It's insane, like over one hundred and 427 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: if you drink every beer and you can't, and it's 428 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: like there's rules on it, like so that you have 429 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: to come back every week so you don't just you know, 430 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: get belligerently drunk. But you can get a plate with 431 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: your name on the wall. And I'm like, dude, that 432 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: was your biggest accomplishment in your twenties, was like getting 433 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: your beer plate on the wall at Flying Saucer. There's 434 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: a difference between my work ethic and your work ethic. 435 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: Like a very very big difference. 436 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 2: And now you're mad. 437 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: And you become a liberal because you somehow think that 438 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: like the systems against you and rigged. No, it's because 439 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: you didn't work hard. You've got multiple mug shots for 440 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: being an idiot, like not committing major crimes, like just 441 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: being like just doing stupid stuff like a dui, And 442 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: so that has hindered you as well in your development, 443 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: Like you made some stupid decisions being arrogant with people 444 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: you worked with, and you got fired from jobs because 445 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: of insubordination. That again, and some of that came back 446 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: to the drinking issues. Like this is there is a 447 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: real interesting moment happening here in this country whereas the 448 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: left is saying to people like that, hey, it's somehow 449 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: the system that screwed you, and that's why you're making 450 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: all these bad decisions. And that's where the mundanis AOC's 451 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: and all these liberal mayors in different liberal cities like Memphis, 452 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 1: in New Orleans and Detroit and Baltimore come in because 453 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: they figured out that there's enough lazy people that they 454 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: can get to vote from that they just give them 455 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: free stuff. It's modern day slavery, right, Like I'll feed you, 456 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: but I'm not going to help you get out of poverty. 457 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: Because if I help you get out of poverty, then. 458 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: You don't need me anymore. 459 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: One of the biggest reasons why the Democratic Party tried 460 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,719 Speaker 1: to destroy Donald Trump their impeachment twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, 461 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen is because they understood the threat 462 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was to the minority voters. Why do 463 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: you think the Democrats let some of illegal immigrants into 464 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: this country? Because Donald Trump had completely decimated the Democratic 465 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: Party's control of the African American community, and you had 466 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: African American unemployment rates the lowest in history when Donald 467 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: Trump was president in his first term. Yeah, the lowest 468 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: unempoyment rate for African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos. And 469 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: so what the Democratic Party realized was if this keeps up, 470 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: and think goodness, COVID came in for them. It saved 471 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: them politically in many ways because COVID, you know, really, 472 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: as you know, hurt the economy in a major way, 473 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: and that stopped alloted that Trump like MAGA movement, and 474 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: I think in many ways cost Trump as presidency his 475 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: first time because of what happened with COVID to shut 476 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: down the whole country, and they that was the gift 477 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: to the Democratic Party. But the Democratic Party was losing 478 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: their base because what Donald Trump said was, I don't 479 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: want you to live in poverty your whole life. I 480 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: don't want you to live on food stamps your whole life. 481 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: I want to. 482 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: Empower you to pay for your own stuff. But not 483 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: because I'm like, don't want to give you help. It's 484 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: because I want you to live a better life. I 485 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: don't want you to live in government housing. I don't 486 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: want you to be like in a hud house your 487 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: whole life. I don't want you to have to depend 488 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: on handouts to survive. I want you to be able 489 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: to get your kids in a good school, not a 490 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: failing school. And one of the ways that Democrats keep 491 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: Americans down is by giving their kids horrific educational quality. 492 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: Horrific educational quality the level of Democrat cities education quality level. 493 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: It is failing virtually nationwide in every school district in 494 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: a major city where Democrats control it. And the question 495 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: is why. I think it's designed deliberately, because if kids 496 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: are uneducated, then they are going to end up depending 497 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: on them the Democratic Party for survival after they fail 498 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: in school. If you empower a kid to be smart 499 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: and get a great education, okay, if you if you 500 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: have a child succeed and get on their own, the 501 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: chances that child, at some point in their life becomes 502 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: a Republican are very high. And the Democratic Party understands 503 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: that if you empower, if these kids grow up and 504 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: we don't own them in poverty and own them because 505 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: of their failures, that we've created an environment for them 506 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: to fail with failing schools, then that is self fulfilling prophecy, Like, Okay, 507 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: they'll vote for us, and their kids will vote for us, 508 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: and they'll never get out of the ghetto, and they'll 509 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: always need us for their food and for their lights 510 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: and their heat and their hut housing and their and 511 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: their government aid and their government healthcare. Right Like, That's 512 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why Obamacare was so important to 513 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, because it was a. 514 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: Way to. 515 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: I would say in chain Democratic voters to them. You 516 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: can't vote against me. You need that healthcare, right like, 517 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: you can't vote against me. You need that and without me, 518 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: you're screwed, right Like, without me, you're in deep trouble. 519 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: Without me, you've got serious, serious, serious problems. And so 520 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: that's why they keep voting for them. That's just what 521 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: happens here.
